I’d love to see the budgets for series like “A Place Further Than The Universe” that start out as anime, versus light novel adaptations like “KonoSuba” and “Madome”, or manga adaptations (e.g., “Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included”). The anime original series still have to make money, but because there’s not a source material to assist in recouping costs, one would intuitively assume there’s a bit of a higher standard there, no?
