Is it true that the source of the 9 billion yen production cost of 'Endless Scarlet' (too much) and the 300 million yen production cost of 'Circe's Witches' (which must be even more since it follows a hit film) is a modern-day column? It's terrible that numbers based on random information are posted on commercial websites https://t.co/N9NFbOVCMb
— Mitomo Kanose (@kanose) February 18, 2026
There's no way the production cost for Circe was 300 million yen... That's the budget for a typical anime film made in around 2 years 10 years ago... Five years with that cast and quality. The labor costs alone must have been considerable.
— Nishii Terumi NlSHII (@NishiiTerumi) February 18, 2026
Regarding the reason for the crushing failure of 'Endless Scarlet,' Nippon TV commented that 'negative campaigning on social media was the cause,' but wasn't it the case that the producer originally decided that 'it would be difficult to make this work with this content' and tried to stop the project, but Nippon TV backed him up? 🤔 https://t.co/8TbmUaROTH pic.twitter.com/nL23ZJicA9
— Type R (@hitasuraeiga) February 18, 2026
The source is a book called 'The World Tackled with 'Endless Scarlet',' which is a detailed record of the process from planning and production to the release of the film. However, after reading the producer's testimony that 'both the budget and advertising costs were the largest ever,' I thought, 'If that's the case, they should have considered it a little more carefully...' 😓 https://t.co/ze8c7HzbxF
