question
anime-production terminology
What does 'production minutes' mean?


Based on the quotients of the production minutes over number of works and
given the context that these numbers are referring to increasing numbers of
theatrical anime releases, I believe the term "production minutes" is
referring to the length of each anime.

For example, in 2000, 31 theatrical anime were released, each being an average
of 61.29 minutes, while in 2014, 74 theatrical anime were released, each being
an average of 65.05 minutes.
