American animation like ''The Simpsons'', ''Family Guy'' and ''American Dad'' have reportedly budgets 3 times above top of the line anime (this, despite selling their blu-rays and DVDs sets at a price that allow people to purchase them without selling their kidneys...no, seriously, a whole season of those shows cost lest than one 4 episode Blu-ray !). It's not exactly cheap, and it take big ''backers'' to launch new shows.
This said, the Star Wars CGI show was quite good and more than a bit-animesque IMO, same for the upcoming Rebels.
