Animation is expensive. ''Really'' expensive. An average 22-minute episode of an anime costs around $123,000, when American shows tend to be about $300,000.<ref>It should be noted that most of this is not spent on the actual animation (depending on the show, some shows will have a separate budget just for the animation, like with Disney's and [[Warner Bros]]' works in the 80's and 90's), however. Considering it's done overseas (mostly for western shows), for the most part.</ref>

** Incidentally, the entire second half of episode 9 was animated in a different art style from the rest of the show (Compare Shinobu's eyes, chin, and hair from the first half). Incidentally, the artwork was actually somewhat ''better''. It might have been done to simply see if anyone noticed.
