How much does it cost to see Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?
First-time balloons cost at least $190,000 - this covers admission into the parade and the cost of balloon construction. After the initial year, companies can expect to pay Macy's about $90,000 to get a character on the parade route. If you consider that the parade runs about three hours or so, that's about $500 a minute. Those figures are also from several years ago, so no doubt the cost of balloons has seen some inflation since

What anime character have appear at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?
Pikachu, and if you count him, Sonic.
Edit: Basically, no anime character appear at all during the Macy's Thanksgiving parades (possibly since Thanksgiving is a bias, all-American holiday). Pikachu and Sonic in actually are mainly video game characters who gained their fame in America through television. Sonic gained his TV fame from AoStH and SatAM. Pokemon, despite being an anime, became a massive phenomena to fans everywhere.
It's sad really, how largely known characters like Goku (DB), Naruto Uzumaki, or Astro Boy (Tezuka anime version) wouldn't get their own parade floats. Anime and manga phenomena just tends to focus on story plot exposition and merchandise. No public appearances or direct pop culture references like characters in America.

What were the first helium balloons in the Macy's parade?
The first year Macy's used helium-filled balloons was 1928. The first year they used large, inflated character balloons was 1927, but these were air-filled and didn't contain helium.
The 1927 balloons included Felix the Cat, singer/actor Eddie Cantor, a 60-foot tall dinosaur with a group of cavemen, and assorted turkeys, chickens and ducks.
The 1928 parade balloons were made of rubberized silk and filled with a mixture of air and helium, allowing for much larger construction. Some of the balloons introduced in 1928 included a 40-foot blue elephant, a 60-foot tiger, a 50-foot hummingbird, and a new, improved and much bigger Eddie Cantor.
When the parade ended in front of Macy's department store that year, the balloons were released into the air and floated free above the city. Macy's offered a bounty on any parade balloon returned in any condition. Many came back full of holes after children tried to shoot them down with airguns.
The traditional balloon release ended after the 1932 parade, when one of the balloons became wrapped around an airplane wing, causing the plane to crash (no mention of injuries or fatalities).
