Having these circumstances in mind it would be natural to assume that the value and renumeration of animators would increase, but this is true only for artists who have already made a name for themselves as key frame artists, while nothing seems to trickle down to those who are in the earlier stages of their careers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even though these circumstances are known, there are still many who aspire to become animators, driven by passion alone. The following tweets by a Japanese creator tell of what attitude awaits such newcomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u5927\u5b66\u6642\u4ee3\u306b\u305d\u3053\u305d\u3053\u5927\u624b\u306e\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u5236\u4f5c\u4f1a\u793e\u306e\u5c31\u8077\u8aac\u660e\u4f1a\u306b\u53c2\u52a0\u3057\u305f\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3042\u3063\u3066\u3002<br><br>\u4f1a\u793e\u5074\u304b\u3089\u300c\u6b69\u5408\u5236\u3067\u6700\u4f4e\u4fdd\u8a3c\u304c\u67085\u4e07\u3001\u3067\u30821\u5e74\u76ee\u306f\u305d\u308c\u3057\u304b\u7a3c\u3052\u306a\u3044\u3053\u3068\u304c\u307b\u3068\u3093\u3069\u300d\u3068\u3044\u3046\u8aac\u660e\u304c\u3042\u308a\u3001\u305d\u308c\u306b\u5bfe\u3057\u3066\u540c\u5e2d\u3057\u305f\u4eba\u304b\u3089\u300c1\u5e74\u76ee\u306f\u30d0\u30a4\u30c8\u3057\u3064\u3064\u50cd\u304f\u5f62\u3067\u3059\u304b\uff1f\u300d\u3063\u3066\u8cea\u554f\u304c\u3002<br><br>\u306a\u3093\u3066\u8fd4\u3063\u3066\u304d\u305f\u3068\u601d\u3046\uff1f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z0HAppZGRy\">https:\/\/t.co\/z0HAppZGRy<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u3053\u307f\u304b\u3069\u306b\u3061\u3048 (@Nietzsche_KMKD) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Nietzsche_KMKD\/status\/1677964608882221058?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 9, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet translation: <\/strong>When I was in college, I once attended a job fair for a fairly large animation production company.&nbsp;<br>They explained to us that wages were commission-based and that the minimum guarantee was 50,000 yen per month, but that in most cases, that was all people earned throughout their first year.

To put matters in perspective, according to a survey by Japan\u2019s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare,&nbsp; the average monthly salary for fresh graduates is 226,000 yen (about 1580$) for college graduates and 255,600 yen (about 1790$) for post-graduates. Taking into account the cost of living in Japan, the minimum sum guaranteed by the animation company is nowhere near livable. Despite that, the company also demands that employees devote their off time to practice, in other words work in their free time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other users told of similar experiences, also mentioning being asked if they lived with their parents and whether they had tuition fees or scholarships to return on interviews.

According to film producer Masuo Ueda who speaks for Oricon, the answer may lie in the so-called production committees. Production committees are temporary coalitions created to fund particular anime projects that consist of marketing companies, merchandising companies and similar. Since such companies are able to make the largest investments in projects, they also reap most of the profits, leaving the anime production studios with the short end of the stick. In turn, the production studios then secure their own profit by lowering wages and putting further pressure on their staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Awareness of these issues is rising in recent times, and certain efforts are being made to support animators financially and give them a voice, but the systemic problem that exists will likely take time to resolve. In the meantime, the anime industry is becoming a less and less appealing choice to prospective talents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese users share insights on the unsustainable nature of Japan\u2019s anime industry and harsh working and living conditions of animators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":20007,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[73,17],"class_list":["post-20003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nongaming-news","tag-anime","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
