How Much Does It Cost To License An Anime
Court Documents Reveal Anime Licensing Costs
E'er wondered how much it costs to license a testify?
Those of you who wait (and wait) for licensed, western-releases of anime shows rather than just nab them off the internet the second they appear may call up a visitor called ADV. Taking over later on Manga Entertainment [http://world wide web.youtube.com/watch?5=svlt2cJI5So] began to sink into obscurity, ADV dominated the western anime market for nearly a decade. It was responsible for the first official western releases of Neon Genesis: Evangelion, Hellsing, Dragon Half (the trailer for which is 9 different types of amazing [http://www.youtube.com/scout?5=cUfDa5YXbEE]) and Excel Saga, to proper name but a few.
Sadly, things oasis't been going besides well for the Texas-based visitor. In 2007, ADV took ARM corporation to court for breach of contract. ARM responded by claiming it had spent $10.five 1000000 on content for ADV equally part of a licensing acquisition agreement, and that ADV had only paid back $1,592,994. The case was eventually dropped, but ARM transferred the right to enforce the contract to FUNimation, which is currently trying to collect on the debt.
Anyway, the upside of this tale of legal woe is that during the original court case, ARM corporation filed a document showing how much information technology had paid for each show ADV licensed. The document was caused from the Harris County District Clerk's [http://www.hcdistrictclerk.com/Common/Default.aspx] Role by the Anime News Network. The post-obit figures are all in US dollars.
Guyver 746,665

Welcome to the NHK is a steal at $240,000, merely almost a one thousand thousand for Kurau: Phantom Memory seems a bear upon excessive, as does the $725,665 paid for the 2005's forgettable Guyver remake. These prices do seem a bit depression, because the ludicrous cost of anime boxsets, but I guess those (terrible) dubs don't produce themselves.
