Hello AWN, I have stumbled upon this site while thinking about a animation series.
To start a animation project (Japanese tradition anime style) what would my budget be?
-Voice Actors
-Actual animation
-FX
Or being a independent author, would I simply pay a studio to make my show? (Such as Production IG, or another animation studio?)
Or if I get enough attention for my show, will they produce it in hopes of publics interest?
If I were to need to crowdfund this, how much would be needed to be raised for someone without any startup?

For a series?? Millions.

can you elaborate more? Like breakdown the individual costs?

This isn't hard to do yourself, but it takes some work.
Take a look at a favourite cartoon series.
Make note of the end credits of the show--the last episode of a good one to pick. Make note of the positions/job tasks, and the numbers of people assigned to those tasks--based on the credits. it helps to know something about those jobs and the amount of time it takes to do each one.
Make note of the number of episodes shown for a given season-usually 13 for a half order, and 26 for a full order. Figure what a decent living wage is for people living in the city where the series was done.
For example, if animation takes 6 months to, and there's 40 names on the animation list......and $1000 is a decent weekly wage.........well, do the math.
You will get a ball-park figure, not a completely accurate amount, but it'll give you a decent number to work from.
