Is that the average cost? Is that for TV? OVA? Movies? I'm pretty sure Ebichu didn't cost that much per episode. XD
Where can you find that info? I want to know how much money it takes to make a TV episode.

I only know the cost of some anime movies.
SteamBoy ~ $24 million
Innocence ~ $20 million http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocen...t_in_the_Shell
Street Fighter Animated Movie ~ $5 million
GiTS move ~ $3 million (?)

My prediction is that the anime bubble will burst only if America stops licensing the newer shows. When the anime fad is over in America, so will the crunch come to the anime industry.
