Much of Japanese animation (anime) makes use of techniques adapted from limited animation. Osamu Tezuka started to use this technique in Astro Boy in order to save money and time. However, the technique is now combined with manga styles and aesthetics, and is a very distinct style. Limited animation in anime is frequently used in action scenes such as mecha battles or transformation scenes. The animated version of Cromartie High School employs limited animation in a satyrical way, with frequent zooms on characters' static faces while their speech is rendered as narration, often coupled with image distortions. Limited animation is seen most frequently in television serials, but the aesthetic is so grounded in the medium that even bigger-budget feature films make use of it. Most Japanese animation is significantly less expensive than its American counterparts as a result, with Hayao Miyazaki's Ponyo (the most expensive Japanese animated feature film yet produced) costing only $34,000,000.
