I don’t know how true the $10m is, but I’ve seen the figure in quite a few websites.
For context, the average cost of a Demon Slayer episode is just around $80,000. If you double the runtime, you get $160,000 which is still way way below this probable budget of Invincible.
It feels like all the budget for Invincible went into it’s expensive voice cast list rather than the animation…
Personally I would rather have quality animation with a cheaper but good voice cast list…than celeb voice cast with 90’s animation
Episode 4 was especially rough for me (though, to be fair, I was high whilst watching it, which weirdly makes me more in-tuned to animation quality). The scene with Mark confronting Nolan was really, really janky with the movements.
