It's shocking that Japanese anime practitioners are underpaid

Nowadays, there are a large number of new anime broadcast every year, and it can be said that this is an era when anime fans should feel happy. However, behind the development of the animation industry, we must not forget that there are countless practitioners who are working hard in obscurity. Recently, a netizen who claimed to be a new animator expressed his feelings, which made Japanese netizens hotly discuss the treatment of the animation industry.

[The full text is as follows]

When I switched jobs to become an animation producer, I was stunned. The salary I got was 15,980 yen...... It's not a day's salary, it's a month's. Monthly salary. The monthly salary is 15,980 yen (Note: Men over the age of 20 in Japan generally earn more than 200,000 yen).

When the sun hadn't risen yet, I started going to work. By the time I got off work, it was already the early hours of the next morning. I got up early and worked at night. I don't have anything to complain about about the work itself. I jumped here because I like animation. But I never expected that the salary of this job would be so low. Speaking of which, it is clearly written in the recruitment brochure that the monthly income is more than 180,000 yen...... When I first joined the company, I heard that I would get so much money. I was told that I had two days off a week, but I actually only had half a day off in the three months I had been working...... Stay at home for no more than 4 hours a day. This also includes eating, bathing, and sleeping. Although the living environment is very harsh, I still want to keep my dream alive. Therefore, there are no plans to change jobs...... But while I want to do my part to change the current dilemma in the industry...... But a lot of things are messed up, and I don't know where to start.

Nowadays, some animation directors know that they are playing, and they have no intention of working at all. Sometimes we draw an animation, but the original drawing is reproduced and advertised, and those bastards can get hundreds of thousands of yen from advertising revenue alone. Once the leaders at the top are unhappy, they will let those who they think are useless get rid of them anytime and anywhere, and now many people download pirated animations on the Internet, and the guide zhì DVD and Blu-ray can't be sold......

If you have friends who are familiar with the animation industry, please give me some advice. It's already broken and broken, and anything can be built. Even if it's a small opinion, I'll listen to it, please give me a plan!

Regarding the call of this rookie animation practitioner, Japanese netizens also expressed their opinions. "Such a low salary is already against the law, right?" "The animation industry is really a cruel story, it's too sad to do so many things with so little money." "The development of animation in Japan is based on sacrificing them." But despite the sympathy expressed by the majority, there is little that can be done to change the situation. Japan's animation industry has always been a very cruel stage, and Tencent Animation has also reported related news many times before. For example, a female voice actress was denied a job offer because of her poor appearance, and at the end of last year, Daisuke Kusaga, who had worked as a painter for works such as "Detective So" and "Burning Eye Xana", fell on the front line of "Recorded Horizon" at the age of 39. Judging from the speech of the newcomer animator in this article, the rest time of less than 4 hours a day is also a practice of overdrawing life. Here, Teng\Xundong\Man sincerely hopes that animators can have a good working environment and bring us more "healthy" works.
