Naruto is one of the oldest series carrying the legacy of genre that anime is, and so far, it has fared pretty well against its big budget.

After Spending Roughly $100,000 Per Episode, What was the Total Collection of the Highly Popular &#8216;Naruto&#8217; Series?

Anime and Manga series has lately become one of the highest-grossing genres in
pop culture. Although its hub, Japan, and Japanese culture have what we can call
anime fever, we need to acknowledge that it took a while to bring the
all-encompassing grandeur of animes to the outer world. But when the genre did
arrive, it was an overnight success. And when we are talking about anime, we
cannot do that without talking about Naruto: Shippuden. Not only has it become a
household name, but is one of the highest-grossing anime of all time.

Airing above 600 plus episodes, the Naruto universe has made sure to outperform
everyone’s expectations. Thrills and action; love and sympathy; revenge and
blood oaths- the anime is sure to test one’s emotions. Those who are the most
ardent fans of the anime must agree that it has been an emotional roller coaster
from Naruto’s delusional dream to become Hokage to actually achieving it. And
the action and animation illustrations are what got us hooked from the very
beginning.



While a few of the masses consider anime as “cartoons for kids” even in today’s
date, the numbers say otherwise. Ever since the day of its resurrection, Naruto:
Shippuden has deployed itself as the legacy bearer of one the earliest animes.
From employing millions to merchandising tourism and even cosplaying, even Japan
as a country has capitalized a lot from this sub-genre, and specifically this
series.

Keeping that in mind, let us have a look at Naruto’s total budget against its
gross income.


NARUTO: SHIPPUDEN: BUDGET VS. GROSS INCOME

Given its long-running legacy and the need to live up to the glory of its
ancestors (which Naruto: Shippuden successfully has), the anime series, which
ran for one long decade (2007-2017), reportedly spent an average of 100,000 USD
per episode. And Yes! It is worth every cent. As mentioned earlier, from its
breathtaking action to sterilizing animation, and the ability to create the hype
required, Naruto has made the best out of every penny ever spent. Well, its
gross amount will just prove the same.

Against a budget of 100,000 USD per episode, the Naruto franchise has seemingly
fared pretty well. Helmed by Masashi Kishimoto, the series also had a few
sequels and a collection of video games. Keeping that and other merchandise in
mind, the Naruto franchise has grossed more than $10 billion since its creation.
