Bruh these companies SWEAR that animators are not worth anything YET THEY ARE THE REASON WE LOVE ANIME SO DAMN MUCH.
Well as someone that feels bad for the animators, it’s one of the reasons why we love anime so much
@@nonobono8249 the quality of animation carried demon slayer more than the actual plot, and demon slayer was extremely successful
just goes to show how much can be attributed to the animators
@@ultimateman9025 very true
Especially Demon Slayer’s plot
@@ultimateman9025 Yep. The plot isn't anything new compared to your standard shonen. But it's undeniably beautiful visually.
@@ultimateman9025 Exactly. Animation brings insane impact. Voice acting, sound effects, and music only support the animation. They are all important but animation is the base of everything. Atleast for me it is.
Animators need more respect and pay for their work.
They need money. Respect wont feed 'em
@@riskiyasser He said "and pay".
@@thekyle919 it was edited
What they need is to become their own executive producers so that there is no middleman. These anime make tons of money there is plenty to share but most of it goes to the executives (japanese culture). They need to downsize execs and share the wealth to animators.
Respect? In what regard? They all should join and make massive uprising, but everyone is accepting those conditions. I have no respect to someone who has zero backbone.
Finally someone talks about this.
It's an industry that literally Kills their own talent.
Animators deserves more appreciation and be paid much better.
Where do you watch anime?
@@sagarasan617 manily crunchyroll and netflix
I bet the people who are disrespectful towards animators and animation are celebrating right now
@@sagarasan617 in free websites
something doesnt add up if animating pays less then minimun wage like mcdonalds why even bother to animate besides liking to draw is like the cycle repeats it self
Japan sounds like one of those places you thought it would be cool to live there but once you actually got there it's like hell.
Dude this is so true. I always thought about Japan as a beautiful respectful place to live but I've realized. Everyone just cares about themselves.
It’s definitely one of the most capitalistic societies out there
reminds me of night city
So true the working environment there is torture
Sorry about that as a Japanese person. You might not like Japan because of the work culture or something. But there are many good things about Japan, so please look at them too. Recently, more and more young people are speaking out about the harsh work culture, so I hope that will have an impact and change things for the better.
On a different note, I am going on my first trip abroad next year and haven't decided where yet. Where would you recommend?
(This is a translation, so the English may be wrong and it may be difficult to read.)
Worst part, we can't cancel it
Its Japan's culture of overworking
Its been here for decades
Lets help for crowdfunding companies to help them
You are prob right about that but them being underpaid is utter bs wnd should be illegal :S
is there a national approach to fix the the
1.Suicide especially in younger generation
2. cultuer of workaholic & Overwork ?
We seem to forget America also have a overworking culture (hustle culture)
Less harsh and extreme? For sure,
but we definitively have one...
@@blackcrow4446 unfortunately yeah, the American animators are underpaid too.
These studios would literally be nothing without the animators.
When I was in Japan last year, I met a Japanese girl at a Ramen shop and she told me she was a animator and yeah its true they are way underpaid and overworked. Nicest person you will ever meet. She does manga on the side and I told her I hope her dreams come true of having her own anime series.
Quite a sad reality for Japan
That's Japan in general you get overworked and underpaid, screw that culture, and anime, and street racing and cars and what other shit to move and live there, go there as a tourist and never live there, unless you know what you're doing there
@@realspeedghxst I know that, Japan sucks if you work there as a Japanese. But if your getting paid in Dollars and work for a American Company well its fucking awesome.
It’s cause their population is shrinking
@Z-Man 🏳️🌈⃠ lol Im already married to a Japanese, she is from Kumamoto. I was working a contract for the Navy in Tokyo.
This is really a crisis. Not just the japanese animation industry can die, the animators can actually die. Its now or never. Let's support them and continue enjoying our fav shows.
well whole japan is dying since the starting of the lost decade
@@lordtraxroy it’s a little too late to save Japan. Japan’s population is declining at a rapid rate
We should support a massive protest that's paid for. Nothing will change otherwise.
It s not fair.I think everyone should put pressure on the Multi Milion Dollar Companies to raise their sallary
@@robertw1800 I agree. Without protest there will be no change. They should boycott once in a while to show their dissatisfaction to the current system. They might lose their pay and that's where our donation will come to help. They can live somewhat freely but those boycotts will disturb the earnings of the top management. Which might force them to change. But we will never know until we try.
Who remembers when AoT was handed to another studio and when the product was almost finished, half of the fandom complained about the changed looks of it and, I think he was the art director or one of the lead animators, made a public video statement expressing his apologise while having MASSIVE bags under his eyes?
Only very few understood what was really going on, others still complained.
AOT Sucks the ending Sucks 👍
@@jerichogonzaga587 alright kid, get outta here
@@jerichogonzaga587 kinda not relevant to the comment...
@@jerichogonzaga587 I disown you ,I know where your're from based from that name
@@phonfo.official he’s right …. AOT ending fumbled the bag
I’m in school for computer animation and this is very real. The teachers I have work us to the bone and constantly remind us that this is how a company will be like. I’ll have so much to work that I barely see my family at times or rest. I started hyperventilating one night in my bed. One instructor even told us that we “knew what we signed up for and that means making sacrifices. We have to cut time with friends and family.” 😔 Art shouldn’t be like this.
Oh please don't go there. I've been through all of this working as a dev in the games industry. Although this was in Germany, so labor law is strict and prevents the worst abuse. Still, crunch times and death marches are a thing. It's not worth it, because you end up losing your health, your friends, your family even for nothing, since you'll start hating your job anyways.
There are lots of ways of doing art without submitting yourself to slavery. That does mean however, that you need to acquire more skills apart from art skills. Like basic marketing, good networking etc.
All get together and don't work like that
Poor you :( hopefully you’ll be given the life you deserve!
Don't do it, find other way any way if necessary. Whatever it takes, don't cut out your friends and family, maybe doing art as a side job would be better until you get name and can do it as independent artist with living wage.
Sorry to hear that
Every animation studio in Japan should follow Kyoto Animation ways for caring about their staff and animators!
yep, and that's how they produce epic anime with great lore.
Yeah, in fact Animators in Japan need to create Trade Unions imo.
I kinda wonder how this hasn't killed Anime as an entire industry.
I’m sure if this doesn’t stop, it will kill the industry eventually
Because more popular anime keep getting released, new fresh talent continues to get introduced and apply for jobs, mostly starting as in- between animators under these harsh conditions. There will always be new animators every year applying for a chance, so the top doesnt care about protecting the ones already creating the work that is inspiring the new talent. An endless cycle.
Don't jinx it
@@musaratjahan7954 Why? The industry should collapse if this is the case. I wish it would.
@@unconcernedcitizen4092 It doesn't have to collapse, they just need to give the animators a better working environment.
Oh man I hope the animators get the money they need because they work so hard on the anime😢
They made our childhood great 🥺. Hopefully the system opens their hearts.
@@RetroDLatenight yes man they did I just hope that they get paid more 😢
And that's why this anime is better than the other one they all the same with dfrd story's
Then stop pirating
Hope we can support then
My close friend is an animator, and he was also a healthy person before he started doing his work and he lost a lot of weight, and now I weekly give him food that can last him for a week since he has barely getting the proper nutrition he needs, and he mostly even forgets about eating. And he's sleep schedule is mostly 3-4 hours and if he's lucky it's 5-6
Living in Asia for over 5 years I'm not shocked by the conditions that my fellow artist go through. Thank you for putting this awareness to the community. Im definitely donating.
Asia IS not country
@@aghileshemdani3144 ...Ok and. It's called living in more than one country. Focus on the cause not my paragraph
@@aghileshemdani3144 use your eyes, did u see the word "country".
Dont try to act smarter 🤓 and go back to kindergarten to study more about how to read a words
@@aghileshemdani3144 It looks like you lack reading comprehension
The whole purpose of anime, is the fact that it’s ANIMATED. BRUH, you can have the beautiful score, amazing voice acting, enriching story and phenomenal character development and action…but it all means nothing if you can’t even freaking see all of that happening via the animation. They have the most important role, I pray they get the recognition they deserve. This is sickening to hear, to all my animators out there in Japan, thank you for your labor and showcasing your God-given gifts and skill in the art of animation.
The whole purpose of anime is to teach me and you how to behave by showing us our thought processes, enabling us to make smart decisions in advance rather than stupid ones. Best wishes to you from Iceland.

@@Yatukih_001 gullible on the ceiling
This has been going on for DECADES. What bothers me the most is when people complain about seeing more CG in their anime instead of hand-drawn, not realizing hand-drawn is the most labor-intensive method that burns out animators
FRRRRRRRR
especially when CG is actually pretty good
@@user-op5gr7vr7e I get it when cg is used for crowds cause those are a few normally unessential frames with a lot of movement and can take way longer than your standart scene. But yeah the example you give also bothers me. When cg is blended well it can take almost as much time to produce or even more as normal 2d animation. The reason studios like it is because materials for its making can be reused later, saving time in the long run.
What burns out animators is absurd production deadlines, lack of support, etc. Take a look at the massive crisis in the vfx industry right now where people are pushed to work 70+ hour weeks for months at a time.
No ones blaming the animators though, its obviously all on the producers and shit who make those decisions, and to make it so inhospitable to work on.
I also moved to Japan to become an animator, I am in second year of professional animator school now and one year away from employment. Everybody including the Japanese students is afraid and tired of the treatment. Thanks for addressing the problem!
Make your own companies. Hire writers, get your lawyers, fund your projects while working part time if needed on an actual paying job and once the company makes good profit, ensure the business model pays evenly and fairly all of its employees. You want change? You gotta do it yourself.
@@YoshiMario69 easier said than done.
@@YoshiMario69 want anime? Make sure employees don’t die like flies.
@@tcplays4371 Dude already moved to Japan to confront the reality of getting the shittiest job possible, I'm sure he's capable
@@Fiufsciak that's a whole other story. Adapting to a new country while doing this school takes to much time to learn what's needed to do the stuff @Nssto said. On top of that it needs a lot of money. It's not that easy.
POOR ANIMATORS THEY DESERVE THE WORLD
I will get fired if I work their.
Cus I would draw Nagasaki and Hiroshima bombing at their faces instead of animating.
As a kid anime taught me the power of pushing past your limits and fighting against seemingly unwinnable odds. Meanwhile, the people creating these amazing memories have been going through absolute hell with no light at the end of the tunnel 😢
the irony, the real world is often very harsh in comparison
@@miscellaneousmedia3753 real life sucks :(
Taught me the power of pushing past your limits -🤓
@@niggy. brother why are you like this, what is your problem, anime is a life changer and a motivator, like explain yourself why do you hate anime
@@miscellaneousmedia3753 even the darkest worlds in anime, have some hope, some light. the real world is just unpredictable and things just happen.
Animators truly go through hell, doing their best to complete a 23 minutes episode to finally get off from work and take some rest and then there are kids reporting the animation quality is bad just because it didn't matched their expectations.
Well we can’t excuse bad animations bro
Sorry but uhhh people are allowed to call out bad animation. Though it’s fucked up how overworked they are.
@@Howitgoes799 but some one is not respect
I don't think most people are blaming the animators when complaining about the quality but really blaming the studio for the conditions leading to the quality being poor. It's a shame that for, likely reasons related to greed, studios have to bid for a lower pay on shows to avoid potentially not having work. This leads to the studios making a very minimal profit from the job and having to scrunch not only time but worker pay to avoid making a loss. This is all so the fellas in the production committee can make the biggest buck possible from the product.
I would honestly like to see revenue split from the animation studio, the committee, and all the individual players within the committee. I don't have a full grasp on how it all works out but it sounds like to me that there is just way too many players involved, who all do very minimal work on their own, but all require a big cut for their "contributions" so they screw over animation studios by making them bid against each other for the lowest possible split. The only way I can see the situation being fixed, since most individual animators would rather give up on their dream of animation or kill themselves than unionize against this, is if laws were passed that prevented the way the committees are formed or required a minimal percentage split to animation studios that would allow proper wages to the animators.
But really I'm doubtful that this system will be fixed anytime soon.
Animation is bad doesn't equal to bad animators and so no, I'm pretty sure most of us aren't blaming animators. Whenever I see badly animated anime the first thing come to mind is small budget, like for animation. So it's management, not animators.
It's the artists and animators that are the ones that bring life to an epic story and make it a masterpiece. They deserve recognition and monetary benefits for all their hard work. I really hope that this approach will change soon. I will be taking a look at the non-profit organisation and help as much as I can
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I will always keep this in mind when I watch anime from now on.
do you keep it in mind when you're on your phone? what about when your buying clothes? all those child workers making sure those fresh shoes you got look nice.
@@tylerberman7527 what
@@tylerberman7527 what is the point of your comment?
@@El_Pato everyone is suffering, that it takes a video to make you people think about that fact is funny to m, what you people fail to understand is it's not just that the animators don't make much money, that country treats its people like shit, they effectively have no rights. its not just an animation issue it's their entire system.
@@tylerberman7527 what am I failing to understand?
Crazy thing is, this is not just an animator issue. Cultures where work ethic and "the grind" are prioritized over the physical and mental health unfortunately leak into all sorts of occupations and yield similar disastrous results. I remember watching a doc on delivery drivers (either japan or korea, can't remember which) where dudes were dying from heart failure and exhaustion because the workload simply wasnt sustainable, but when you have bills and family to take care of, you do what you must. Their needs to be an overall shift i work/life balance, for sure.
Underrated comment
Criminally underpaid and overworked employees, wage theft and slave labor. Sounds a lot like Capitalism.
It’s not a meritocracy, if you are new and young you get treated like a slave at the bottom of the barrel, many students travel hours to work for a few bucks a day on 12 hour shifts, only to do it all again the next day, the culture brought on by previous generations is almost genuinely like a “get rich of die trying” format, if you ain’t a successful, wealthy and young business owner, then you may as well curl up in a gutter and die, because there isn’t any help for you if you don’t become a wealthy success.
I agree. It's not just problem of animation industry spesificaly. The thing is, we talk about specifically animators overworking because it greatly affects product we consume(that is anime) and because anime is more popular nowadays.
Not only that, but also their true, sincere passion is getting exploited.
Damn... This is truly heartbreaking and it's outrageous that this is the reality of the situation that's been going on for so long now. I am definitely going to share this and I really hope that things can change in the anime industry and in Japan overall. There are far too many issues with Japan's politics and business and this is an issue that's serious.
I don't know why anyone is surpised ? We have seen this again , and again in toei animation and A1 pictures, and there were like week long hashtags on twitter, but then a new episode of their hit anime came out, and everyone stopped caring because well.... they get their anime. people pretend to care but when their anime comes out they stop caring. We all know the working conditions of animators i don't even think its a secret at the moment. But its been shown many times over, that people care more about getting their anime, over how they are getting the anime
Too bad that's how it goes, cuz you choice art for the process and final pieces,not the money. It's sad but I've let some feelings go already, ai art will soon take over, bit more sad as well but you deal with it yourself.
@@cingcing3540 Yes, it’s expected to work for ‘less’ pay. It’s not fine to have suicide inducing amounts of labor for barely enough to survive.
It’s not like these companies can’t afford to pay their employees. They just prefer the dystopian approach of “it’s easier to replace workers than keep them healthy”.
Bruh we don't have much power to change things in another country
American animators from Disney and other hand draws studios used to suffered like this in the past. Some moves on to 3D and others comic books
(my fav Rick Remender who told scary stories when he was working for DreamWorks in hand draws animation)
The industry needs to die in order to be reborn anew. Maybe when cash stops flowing, the companies might start to care about their employees.
What it needs is a full reform. It's only sad that many people are willing to live like that. In all honesty, I think the more people quit animation, the better and faster it'll be resolved.
*Animators are the heart and soul behind Anime. I never knew they were so undervalued and under appreciated. They are better off creating their own fan made series on UA-cam and rake in alot more money by building their own community.*
Well, that's better.
fr
with much more responsibility to their health, as well as work management.
I may not be an anime fan, but hearing this is devastating. I hope that in the near future, this crisis is resolved and the animators get the treatment they so deserve.
Yeah I hope Soo too
it made my heart drop. people who make my life happy by making manga into animation are depressed and underpaid... it's so horrible. I'm so sorry 😞
No one should be so overworked and underpaid. I'm 42 and been a huge anime fan since I was young & my enjoyment of it has never lessened. Seeing your video on this was honestly heart breaking having been through my own struggles with depression. These animators create incredible worlds for us all to enjoy and deserve humane treatment. This is absolutely unacceptable and needs to change immediately. Let's get this viral so we can help!
Sometimes I truly hate the injustice in this world, we need a lot more empathy and compassion for others.
Selfishness will never really die, the fact that so many people put themselves over the well-being of the people around them just sickens me. It's really sad that these animators commit suicide over all these remaining problems. They probably feel like they threw their life away with the path they chose and ended it all, and that really shouldn't happen to anyone.
Yes please 😭😭😭😭
@@ntrg3248 I agree
I'm also 42 but I prefer older anime apart from attack on Titan modern anime doesn't really interest me
@@miaya3898 I'm only 19 but I also prefer old stuff. I'm pretty sure I can count on one hand the amount of series from the last 3 years I've watched. All my favourites are before 2010-12 ish. It doesn't just apply to anime, but to video games and music too.
I'm a animator and I can relate what they have been through
It's hard
It's disturbing
It's unforgiving
My health didn't improve and not even resting
And now I leave animating
But making anime is a hobbies for me
But in the end it's a nightmare to me

Nope Japanese Animators bunch of Phedos I don't respect them . They deserve it.
Thanks
@@jerichogonzaga587 yea ik maybe you have different view
But sometimes it's not what you experienced,maybe you known others animator maybe bunch maybe a lot but idk if you known some of private animator who got to work without their name in anime community 😅 so yea I'm sorry if we did something that offended you guys with animations
What ever animations you mean
I think I would agree to your point and wanting them to delete it
Cuz this is life
Sometimes that person gets to manipulate others to work for them
And sometimes they will fired you
If you didn't follow their rules
And this is a big reason why the suicide rate is a lot :/ pressure is a lot
Living in Japan is not like living in other countries
I mean our government is different
And yes if I was you i would say same thing
[Sorry that some anime out there was offending you but this is what geeks want (geeks= money for company of animation but not for animator)

Cuz we get to see others view of this world
Btw have a nice day man :)
(Everything I say is no offense for every but if it did I apologize)
To all the animators working in Japan, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for all the effort you put in in the work that you do. You deserve better.
To all anime enjoyers, please donate if you can. If you cannot however, then please share the video.
Every cent counts and so does every single view.
So, please share this video regardless.

When I was young and a student, l always imagine to become a manga artist or anime drawing worker until I realized how bloody the industry is and only few artists can earn enough money to feed themselves and reach the dream is such sadness 😢.
Same but bro the pain hell nah
After seeing this, i already feel bad for the animators. They should've not go through all that
Actually, starting in an animation company is a good stepping stone. Just don't stay there for too long.
Afterwards, you can decide to become an independent artist/animator, which is what I do now.
When all trustworthy quality animators should all be on permanent contracts and given much much higher than average wage and stable working hours, just like most nations, and the CEO’s/managers/producers will still be wealthy as sin.
Same. I imagine, if i found success. I would really question if it was worth the misery. Starving artist is a hard life.

If all animators will come together and call a strike, I’m sure this issue would be solve in a week. The problem is ppl are not United because of the fear of losing the little they have. And those that aren’t doing as bad won’t risk what they got for those suffering. It’s a world we live in.
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm going to promote this organization on my anime podcast to help spread awareness as well.
Donating to help is a good gesture, but it simply incentivizes the management to keep their pay low. Why should they pay them better if they get the public to take care of them? I say they should strike en masses with a clear list of desires. The companies themselves should support their employees. And they will if they can’t find anyone to animate what makes their pockets fat.
Most animators are not employees, they are freelancers. This let's the companies get away with way more. Furthermore, if they were to strike, the animation companies would outsource to Phillipines, Korea, and web-gen animators who would jump at the opportunity to work on a famous anime.
@@MaSTARMedia There is no winning
@@MaSTARMedia This may not be true because if it's a long break the people would get suspicious and start asking HMMMMM..... why has it been like 5 months since the last episode they will start looking into it and people would figure out the truth and ooooh shit do you think those web animators are this uninformed their job is literally the internet. So, when they see that kind of stuff on UA-cam what do you think they will do when some animation studio in Japan asks to hire them. I know a few will accept the job but I doubt enough will do so for it to be back to normal. It will have a large enough impact that they will at least notice and be aware of this issue. "There are probably 100 things wrong with this I don't know shit about Japan or their laws so........"
@@MaSTARMedia Then those people can vote in Politicians that will set in hard Tariffs on those companies. Problem solved.
I think that if we can get the funds, we should Kickstart an investment company and studio and hijack the industry. Pay the animators right and scoop up the best talent as a result. Then we use the money invested to fund projects and then recycle that profit into the industry correctly. That is a super hard thing to do, though.
Thank you for making this MaStar & for spreading awareness! The way animators are treated is horrible & inhumane. This topic should be important to anyone who loves anime! If you want to see the medium you love continue to prosper & grow then this needs to change! Animators need better working conditions & reasonable pay, anime is getting too popular for this to continue on like this.
Your right
"people who do this for a living deserves more credit and respect"

I never knew it was this hard for animators in Japan. It makes me sad knowing it. I would love to be doing what they do. But being so neglected financially when doing something so passionate is just wrong. We need to change it.
animators should be treated as the real stars of any and every animated thing out there. i just recently got into watching anime, and being an artist myself, i was blown away by the incredible beauty that is the art of japanese animation. endless respect to all of the hard-working underpaid artists out there! you are the real stars of the show ❤️

Excellent video. Thank you! Kind regards from Ásgeir in Iceland.
This is a good example of the saying that someone in the world has it worse than someone else the animators situation is deplorable and completely unacceptable and morally wrong, and I wouldn’t be surprised all the animators go on strike
there was a case that I personally saw that happened in south Korea(manhwa, webtoon industry) where a pregnant lady(manhwa artist) was almost near to her deathbed because of her boss, as she said she literally slept only 1 to 2 hrs a day and her husband was totally helpless and clueless because he was not able to help her. Tbh I am trying to remember but I had forgotten the majority part of this story, in the end, her boss gave her 1~2 months of vacation after they filed the report.
I never knew that the animators who create magic in their work went through so much suffering...If we look at their work they deserve so much without them we would not have fluid animation and beautiful art ..it brings me to tears
animators deserve so much, when i start something and dont feel like reading, watching is the top 1 thing ill do
You're a gem for bringing this realization to the forefront for any of us anime/manga fans that might not have known.

* For any one in the comments .How do we solve the problem of a whole global village viewing artists as (non-effectual to society)...
They think We don't solve a high quality problem in the world so the value of the "artist" title is low and is still taboo across a span of cultures.. but how do we solve that.. how do we alter perception?
@@Eddierath I'm an illustrator and sculptor, many of my best friends all work in the largest studios in the world. There's been times where travelling the US or abroad that they run into one another at bars and restaurants. Basically, there's no shortage of bodies that have a minimal amount of talent when it comes to art. On the other hand there are extremely talented and unique artists who're able to sell their works, right out of or during school. The business is a trap like any other, they rely on manpower but those in charge have no care, no passion for what they produce. Look what it did to Miyazaki :\
Thanks for the notice I just donated and shared with my friends hopefully there useful but I'm just not ready for the animators to not exist anymore thank u
Such a Harsh reality !!!!!
I hope the Animators get their money they deserve they work so hard in return they get mental illness
this is sad, its just so sad, animators need more do be payed more and recognized for their hardwork
*Every frame is a blessing*
The animators deserved much more for their pure dedication and time which they should get more raise
This makes me sick ! I got teary eyed . Bc they are the hardest working ppl on this planet and have made some our childhoods and even save lives with their artwork . As an artist I want to help these amazingly talented people
This is outrageous! Animators should be paid a fair amount regardless if the anime itself went popular or not. How could they treat them with such disregard? I sincerely wish this shitty reality for animators will change. Thank you for making this video and spreading awareness.
I hope this reaches the right people, I'm currently job hunting but soon would like to start contributing to causes such as this. Thank you for bringing this to light!
Hats of too Mastar for spreading the message to save the real people who are responsible for all the anime we know and love.
This shit really hurts to see, these are the people that bring some of our favorite stories to life. They don't deserve to suffer while management eats the fruits of their labor.
It's crazy that I make more than a japanese animator, and I work at a dead end job. I seriously hope things get a lot better for the animators in Japan, because being worked to death it's just terrible fate for anyone.
Dude my dream was to become a animator or create my own Manga omggggg this is crazy I pray these people get support and get the credit they deserve and that other companies are created in the industry that actually care for their animators
This is heart breaking, its reminding me of how the United States is now with this inflation and how companys refuse to pay the working class a livable wage. This sucks that people in Japan that are animators have to even experience this and I def want to help them! I loved anime since I was 18 and i love anime so much. ❤
To be fair, the US has a far better working culture than Japan in my opinion.
I will do everything in my power to help the animatiors. They need our help.
They need to unionize in a national level and this is something that needs to be done with artists on a global level. One of the highest grossing things in the world is art and the artists are starving because they are pimped out.
It's sooo sad..., I don't have even words for it.
As a student of animation, I'm really scared about my future
ive heard kyoto animation treats their staff better and cares for them
Quit it. Now. It’s not worth the suffering, the pain, there’s so much other jobs you could be, don’t waste your life on animating.
As an upcoming animator seeing this gives me more respect to those who are professionals in the animation buisness I want my own production and workers to live in a comfortable and a professional manner no matter how hard It could be seeing happy workers bring better success
The animators Deserve respect and time. The pressure they feel must be intense and immense
I wish I could really do more then a couple dollars....thanks for helping us see this man love your page I will be donating regularly
We should invite them here so these amazingly talented artists can start there own animation studios. Or make a go fund me or something similar to creat animation studios in Japan that pay fairly
Man wth ? I have no words for this........these big company bosses are nothing without these legends these guys are gems...these company bosses have no worth without these legends
This is dope keep it going
glad to see someone speaking on this
Respect to those animators who are struggling and presented us with a god-level animation, even though they didn't get paid well, they deserve better🙂🙂❤️
I remember reading an article in Newtype USA (a old anime magazine no longer in print) that talked about this. I still remember the line "You probably think that because anime DVDs are so expensive that the animators are making buckets of money, right?". It was followed by an explanation of this very topic. This was like 2004-5ish. I can't believe this is still an issue! They need more support. Spread the word.
Edit: I changed the year to 2004-5ish. I remember reading before Hurricane Katrina happened. I remember the last issue had Tsukasa and Subaru from .hack//sign on the front.
That's insane. If one can make more money in fewer hours at a retail job that requires no skills, the animators should go on strike.
@eric Spencer You have to do something though, you can’t just do nothing. If you’re afraid all the time, nothing will ever change. The pioneer strikers had to lose their jobs, and they also went through a lot, unfortunately.
@eric Spencer Yeah, next talentless guy. Studios would soon realize some people can't be replaced when their profits tanked.
Of course, strikes need numbers, so it'd take time. And the animators would need to pick up a side job like modelling or drawing, or creating a UA-cam channel and living off the ad revenue.
This is crazy hopefully this video reaches a bunch of people
Now I can't hate any anime that's bad, all are hard work and I'll respect and support that. May the animators around the world receive great support to not struggle in the further future.
yes, international solidarity
The dedication, the blood sweat and tears they give to this art form in order to give the world joy is ridiculously underappreciated and long past time to be changed
These animators deserve much more than just some money
This is what i thought when i started watching the making of anime. Animators paid less while they do their job seemingly really hard. They deserve justice for making us otakus happy
Well said. The sad problem on top is that in order for animators to get a decent position at a semi-decent studio, they need to be able to create stories from scratch. At that point, you get thousands who want to be directors/creators, with ideas just flowing out. But when they get to the studios? It turns to sketching hell.
This has been talked about for a while now. But there literally nothing essential changing. I can't help but wonder how long will this last and when will things just break.
Anime is what shapes a lot of us today, animators deserves more respect
it's rooted so deeply in many Asian societies... Rarely seen k-pop idols living as freely as singers and artists elsewhere, they sold their lives and are only the famous "face" of its company. Never talking back to superiors or else you'd get punished by ridiculous consequences. This has to change seriously. Makes me sick.
I’m an og weeb (1989+) this I never knew, I watched and loved in ignorance, now I am sad and helped find this. Def gotta donate, their art basically raised me
without animators, its just black screen with music
this whole thing has been known for ages, glad you shed even more light on it
Thanks for making me aware of this issue! It’s a dam shame 😔
Thanks for bringing awareness to those of us that had no clue, this is not ok like those top corporate people would be broke without the animators how is that ok
Anime and Kpop have been dominating and will continue in the next decades. However in Japan and Korea, harsh working conditions are still a problem where many animators (JP)/idols (KR) are overworked and unhealthy. IDK what's with East Asia and their enterainment/animation industry.
I really used to think that animators are rich because of people doing commissions on Twitter charge 30-50$ for just a simple half body and in Japan the animators are on the verge of depression, no money 😩 but as a anime lover I am going to support them as much as I can ❤️
Being able to pick your own rates and decide when and what you draw is nice. The fact that there's a term for working yourself to death in Japan...not so nice
