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

    Yeah I am calling bs on each episode costing 10 million because it really doesn’t show. It doesn’t even look like a 5 million dollar per episode show

    I can rarely tell when something is badly animated, I can definitely tell when something is insanely well animated.This season I can definitely see bad is bad because like I said I struggle to see bad animation. I just feel like the shots and characters drag and there a weird gaps between sentences.I never felt like this during season 1 or the atom eve special

      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.

      For the amount they’re spending (reportedly) it also feels very rushed. I’m not quite seeing “$10 million bucks” up on the screen in every episode.

      There’s a shot of Debbie walking and it was sooo cheap. They only moved her legs and right arm. Every part of her body was still, as if they were rushing this shot and trying to save money. Seems a step back from S1.

    I really don’t think the animation is that bad. Personally I like it bc it reminds me of shows that I watched as a kid on Cartoon Network. Specifically Ben 10 and Generator Rex. Maybe that’s a sign that it’s a little outdated but personally I really like that style. I think people might be overreacting a little bit.

      Yeah, having the same animation as children shows from as far back as the 2000s isn’t really a flex

        I like it partly bc of nostalgia for shows that had that style. Also it’s not 1:1 invincible’s is definitely better it just reminds me of that style.
