Found this chart on average salaries for Japanese anime industry jobs, based on Shirobako. From left to right: animator, college student, freeter, production assistant, CG artist, episode director, series director, chief animation director, studio producer, top-tier seiyuu.Look at the animator pay (1.1 million JPY). Is it really a "dream job" if the starting salary is less than a freeter's?
>>282841492>Animator works for $1 US dollar an hour>Mexico animator would be at $13.40 if acceptedBro that’s below average minimum wage and breaks minimum wages laws in Mexico and US.
>>282841492That's literally Megumi Hayashibara's (Ranma) salary though, who is the highest paid voice actor in the industry right now. 99% of the seiyuu don't even make a quarter of that. Akio Otsuka (Solid Snake) even said that out of all the seiyuu working in the industry, only 300 actually make enough money off of their work to have it as their sole source of income.
>>282841492>chief animation director is paid higher than the series directorWhat
>>282841560>(Ranma)You mean Hello Kitty, Conan, amd Rei.
>>282841560yeah I pay some cheap japanese VA girls a few bucks online to moan and read erotic lines for me, its not that lucrative for most
>>282841492I'm 100% sure we had this in english. I'm also fairly sure this was discussed to hell back then and the general conclusion was that it's not very accurate.
>>282841562Because they have an enormous amount of work. Most of the key frames for an anime will have to be corrected to some extent, and even with each episode having one (or more likely several ) animator directors, the chief animation director will still have to correct the corrections for the entire show. They're also usually in charge of the character design.
>>282842490And that version of the chart had Canaan as the third-world outsourced in-between animator.
>>282841492Well the chart is outdated.Today they probably make 0% more money.
>>282841492>1.1 million JPYThats yearlyMonthly its barely more than 600 USD
This is 10 years old.
>>282841492Where is the salary of the director of the streaming company that distributes anime in the West?And the salary of the US censors who edit everything so as not to offend people of Twitter?
