What is the budget for an episode?
Added 2024-10-26 01:45:42 +0000 UTCThis is a question we have been asked several times.
Actually, there are many factors that make the budget higher or lower for each episode:
Number of scenes.
Number of backgrounds.
Number of score tracks.
Number of actors involved and their screen time.
But if we had to do an average number, we would say that each episode budget is around $5,000.
Making a quick comparison, so that you are aware of where we stand, Kazuya Masumoto, producer at studio Trigger, confirmed that a 12-episode anime from his company, with 200 to 300 people working on it, can cost $5.5 million, with an expenditure of $400,000 per episode.
Yeah... mind blowing. Now you may understand a little more why we always appreciate your subscriptions so much, especially at the higher levels!
PS: The poll results were pretty accurate!
