Never expected licensing anime would be so pricey – but it seems it actually is. According to some info gathered at INikkei BP Anime Business Forum (Japan), to localize, and furthermore, distribute a TV series in the US of A in the current fiscal year would require you to spend around 20.000 USD per episode. On average. These numbers have been growing over the past few years, even more than a little sister would grow while exposed to alien, mass onee-chans-producing, radiations. At first, when the anime phenomenon stroke the valiant American distributors, the price ranged for about a couple of thousands bucks per episode. Somewere in the mid 1990, the price went up like a healthy erection caused by the loli Ichijo sisters, especially when Evangelion stroke. Later, Cimpokomon would receive no less than 40000 USD per episode, and now, some of the most hyped and shitty appreciated shows are having a nice income of $80K or more, depending on the contract and on the jewishness of the guys who barter for it. And they whine that anime is not profitable.

Now it would be a good time to say that IT’S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!
