サマーウォーズ
The decade also dawned a revival of high-budget feature-length anime films, such as "Millennium Actress" (2001), "Metropolis" (2001), "Appleseed" (2001), "Paprika" (2006), and the most expensive of all being "Steamboy" (2004) which cost $26 million to produce. Satoshi Kon established himself alongside Otomo and Oshii as one of the premier directors of anime film, before his premature death at the age of 46. Other younger film directors, such as Mamoru Hosoda, director of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" (2006) and "Summer Wars" (2009), also began to reach prominence.
