>animator being paid less than college student
It's basically a rule of thumb that the person who works the most, earns the least.
This is a universal fact of life.

>animator makes less than a part timer
Is that only voice acting works or also idol related shits? Because top tier VAs are basically idols.
>>117162590
i don´t ge it, why a chief animator makes more than a series director? he´s is the mind behind everything, right?
ayy lmao
How long until she whores herself out to make ends meet?
How low is in-betweener's income? Or do they get payed so little you can't even make a chart out of it?
Animators earn so little because they only do a few cuts per episode. The Chief Animation Director works on the entire series, and all cuts tend to go through them.
>A-list voice actor
KFW
>>117162744
I think it's pretty much idol related. Doubt someone who can't even get a role every season makes as much as someone who voiced three or more main characters per season and releases music albums and whatnot on top of that.
>voice actors suck up half the budget so everybody else gets jack
Why even bother?
>>117162590
>Animator makes the last.
>Chief animator makes more than the series director.
You fucking what.
>>117163212
There are tons of animators straight out of school that are willing to work for any money just for experience.
I'm glad goth loli is richer than Director.
>CG getting more money
FUCK YOU JAPAN
FUCK YOU
I may not like America, but I may have to agree with them just this once time. NUKE IT.
In Japan, there is a ranking system for the seiyuu world. The ranks are from F~A and A being the highest. Of course each ranking has it’s own set pay. For example, A rank seiyuus are paid 45,000 yen (about $443) for one 30 minute anime episode. Above A Rank there is a rank called “No Rank”. No Rank is title where seiyuus can set their own price.
For example, voice actress, Kaneda Tomoko revealed that she gets paid approximately 30,000 yen (about $295) for one anime episode. You would think that Kaneda would at least be an A Rank because she has been in the seiyuu business for 14 years but she isn’t. This tells us that the seiyuu business isn’t easy.
Of course not all seiyuus can get paid like Kaneda Tomoko right off the bat. New seiyuus start off in a rank called “Junior Rank” and will be given this title for 3 years. For one 30 minute anime they will be paid 15,000 yen (about $147) . After their 3 years as Junior Rank they will join the ranking system. Of course to be higher in the ranks, it depends on experience and how popular you are. Recently, a lot of seiyuus have been higher in the ranks because of their popularity. Do they get paid more if they are voicing the main character? The answer to that is no. Whatever their rank is that is how much they will be paid.
600k dollars per year for being a slut on TV, without even showing your face or having to do anything really.
What a great job.
>>117162734
Not sure what kind of part timer they are talking about here. It's common in Japan for people to take two part time jobs, work all day and earn more than with a single job (but without the single job benefits like a career path, company benefits, etc). They are called "freeter".
>>117163255
>There are a ton of graduates* straight out of school that are willing to work for any money just for experience

That animator will barely get any raise, if at all, and in 10 years it will be fired, because anime will be done in CG.
White knight that.
>>117163498
>white knighting
Do people take some kind of pleasure n using terms wrong?
>>117163556

These are annual salaries, not how much each person take home from a particular series.
>>117163498
What ? I'm only giving information.
>>117163323
Does the pay also depend on how much lines they have?
>>117163606
That the numbers in the graph are not exactly common, thus should not be taken seriously?
>>117163606
First of all, that wasn't me. Secondly, do you always take issue with people providing facts and figures relevant to the discussion at hand? Because that's all anon in question did.
>>117163664
That's eroge system, anime doesn't do that.
>>117163498
>exposition about how VA business works
>white knighting
Anon, It's okay to admit you don't know what a term means. We won't laugh at you.
>>117163193
Top tier seiyuus get paid more but not to that extent. The reason they make more than your average VA is because they get more work a year than less popular VA
>>117163323
>You would think that Kaneda would at least be an A
Well, no, I don't even know who the fuck she is.
Aside of that...honestly, it seems a pretty fair system.
>>117163606
Again, why exactly is that white knighting?
>>117163714
>Anon, It's okay to admit you don't know what a term means. We won't laugh at you
I'm sorry, but I already laughed at him.
>>117163193
It's specifically an a-list voice actor
>>117163701
That's pretty interesting, did not know that.
>>117163727
No, it's a retarded system, someone should be paid based in their capability and not some bullshit experience thing.
I want to marry Goth Loli-sama.
>>117163701
What if it's a real lewd anime?
>>117163773
What if she is already happily married?
>>117162822
It's yearly income. An animation director can be employed all year on more shows than one. They often do magazine illustrations. They might include character design fees here too. Directors get payed more but can only earn that much if they're hacks (in the real sense, not /a/'s definition of person I dislike) who do multiple shows per year.
>Underpaid animators making an anime about underpaid animators making anime
We've come full circle now.
>>117163323
Any examples of the "No Rank" category? I tried Googling, but it's just giving me subjective fan lists.
>>117163768
It's Japan. There older people>merit
So you mean to tell me some guy voicing a faceless background dude for 2 seconds gets payed the same as the main character? How does that even make any sense?
What happens to VAs when they can't find work anymore?
>>117162590
College is a lot cheaper in Japan, tuition for Kyoto U is like several thousand USD for the entire year.
In fact America is practically the only first world country with astronomically expensive higher education.
>>117163845
Exactly why it's retarded.

>>117163768
How do you measure "capability?"
>>117163727
>Well, no, I don't even know who the fuck she is.
That's probably because you're not a very good anime fan, or at least not a seiyuu fan. A lot of people know who Kanetomo is.
>>117162590
oh shit, I make more than a CG animator by just painting houses!
>>117163971
How good they are as an actor?
This is not hard.
>>117163843
Nana Mizuki. She's the seiyuu with highest income in the indusry.
>>117163767
This is the eroge industry system
Popular seiyuu: 130 yen per word
Average seiyuu: 100 yen per word (standard price in the industry)
Leave it to them to decide: 90 yen per word (when you ask them for cheap usable people)
Overworked seiyuu: +30 yen
Negotiating with seiyuu that won’t do rape: +20~50 yen
Take everything from the same agency: -10~20 yen
Even when a seiyuu has 5000 words, the price per word will not go down in most cases.
Also if it’s not at least 100 words, they might not accept the job due to stuff like transportation fees and such. So in cases where it’s in the vicinity of 100 words, the company will ask them if it’s possible to do it for something like 20,000 yen instead of going on a per word basis.
– Depending on the agency, there are also seiyuu that will take a % of the original costs as secondary use license royalties if the company decides to release a downloadable version, a budget version, PG version, or console ports etc
– When a console port or an anime is made, these costs are usually paid by the company in charge of the port, if it’s done in-house then royalties have to be paid together with the additional voices
# Ero anime only pays approximately 10,000 yen per episode and takes a day, so when an eroge becomes an ero anime, there are a lot of seiyuu that will refuse to do voices for the ero anime, which is why the ero anime versions usually have a different voice cast
– Seiyuu voice recording costs has apparently increased dramatically in recent years, agencies did not charge on a per word basis or ask for secondary use license royalties 5 years ago. Comments from some say it is now about 150% to 300% as compared to before.
>>117164103
Anon, you do realize that what you're suggesting is not a genuinely objective criterion, right? How people view a given actor's capability is heavily dependent on personal, subjective preferences.
>>117164103
How do you determine they are good? What makes a VA good? What makes a VA slightly not good? How about bad? Below average? Slightly above average? How do you determine these?
>>117162934

Did you miss the part that says "rank is NOT based on experience"? You can be 14 years in the world and be B rank or debuted a few years ago and be A rank, like Accelerator
>>117164206
No they don't. It's how every animator starts out. There are numbers floating about. In fact when you see these reports about poor animators it's almost always the pay for in-betweening that gets reported.
>>117164063
Well, duh. If your country don't have illegal emigrants to employ, or robots to use (for now), then you can get pretty high pay in building business. Or in any high-risk/heavy labor/high demand business.

I suppose the income for the A-list VA includes earnings from music work as well.

I don't know why you're having such a hard time with this. Maybe you should try separating yourself from Japanese voice actors and just think about normal actors, and how you'd be able to distinguish a good one from a bad one in that case.
There are many things to go on, but if I have to explain them to you, then you're probably just blind to the quality of a performance. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.
>>117164350

>>117164402

>>117164350
Gawker intern, calm down. Don't kill yourself. I believe in you, you can do better.
>>117164378
Pay of real actors isn't generally determined by their capability but by their popularity. Which isn't completely unrelated to capability but isn't wholly determined by it, either. Popularity, unlike capability, is something that is easy to assess objectively.
>>117162590

Hollywood actors get paid be how much they are popular and how much movies with them are successful. And how good their agents. "Good actor" or "bad actor" depends entirely on individual taste.

>I don't know why you're having such a hard time with this. Maybe you should try separating yourself from Japanese voice actors and just think about normal actors, and how you'd be able to distinguish a good one from a bad one in that case.
My point was how do you accurately determine an actor's capability. Yes, I can tell if an actor is bad or good. What I want to know is how do you determine if an actor is slightly good, slightly bad, or average? Or do you think it's fair lumping everyone into just good or bad actors?
>>117164423
Isn't Japan a really expensive place to live though? 10,000/year seems pretty hard to get by in a first world country.

I was pretty lucky in college and had a job in sales that was commission-based. I made around $25 an hour and didn't have to work that many hours. Made $30,000 a year once. Managed to graduate without any debt because of it.
>>117164627
And they live in Tokyo on top of that, a place that's considered one of the most expensive in the world to live in.
>>117164522
I dunno, man. Those top 3 (arguably the top 5) are all also very popular recording artists. In addition to doing roles in anime, they do tours and sell out stadiums. Of course they're making bank.
This is of course especially true for Mizuki Nana, who was the first seiyuu to have a No. 1 album a few years ago.
>>117164659
When I visited, my impression was that everything there costs at least as much as it does in the usa
>>117164659
Maybe Japan as whole, but Tokyo is one of most expensive places of the world to live in.

Did you? Even the cheapest ones get a lot more money.

Who is it, anon?My favorite seiyuu isn't one either.Let's share the pain

That's her yearly income with everything unrelated to voice acting included. Animators who can be sold as idols don't exist.
How the hell do you survive on that?

That's applies only for Japan though. Other countries have different incomes.
>>117162590
sounds like bullshit to me
>>117165154
Maou pls.
calculations:
average anime sell 2,000 copies
BD box = $200 each
sales from anime box set= $400,000
sell to broadcast in other countries = $100,000
pay for TV broadcasting in Japan = $200,000
after deducting TV broadcasting fee, there's $300,000 remaining
$300,000 is divided among everyone else (director, music effects, animators, voice actors) and pay for utilities (water, electricity) and rental and various stuffs (pen, paper, etc). If there are 25 animators and 5 voice actors, then each person get $10,000.
Some say $200 per complete BD set is expensive, they suggest that $20 is a reasonable price the for complete anime BD box set.
If anime box are sell at $20, then the sales is $40,000 for 2,000 copies. This money isn't enough for broadcasting on TV which easily exceed $200,000.

They live in closet-sized apartments with practically no luxury services (tv, internet, etc.) and live off of cheap rice and discount instant meals.
It's not impossible to think of how you could live off that, considering a typical college guy will typically live off of less for 4 years. I know I was living off about 6k a year in college (minus tuition, of course).

>>117166589
Yeah, I'm sure a lot more people die in japan from starvation than in a third world country. Nice example you chose there retard.
Comparing nominal salaries between countries is absolutely useless.

How does one survive on less than 10 K per year?
Or even less than 50 K per year?
>>117167067
I must've talked about it with friends for hours and hours. We were gonna revive the Tactics genre, and make it way better than it had ever been. Used to daydream for hours about plot and mechanics and art and just...everything.
That friend is a failure now, and I've long since lost contact with people that want to talk about shit like that.Sorry for blog, vodka is making me melancholy.
>>117167383
This post is not only stupid beyond belief, it also has nothing to do with the original post that referred the animator's salary being much higher than the minimum in a third world country.
>>117167483
I live with a little less than 10k.
>>117163090
Only 60 K...

But how does their husbands make enough to support a family when they earn so little at their jobs?
>>117167521
And second post was about that living in Japan cost more than in third world country so they still being paid like shit and live on junk food.
>>117167483
What if I told you that in many European countries people earn like 6k $ per year? And the funniest part is that food, games, books - all of this ain't even significantly cheaper. This thread makes me want to leave my country again.
I get paid $2 per hour
Reiterating because no doubt there are people who missed this point.
Seiyuu don't get rich off of anime. A-list seiyuu make money because they're multi-talents (just like idols), complete with their own producers who sign them up for all sorts of stuff such as recording/performing music, doing TV shows, etc. etc.
>>117167483
Meh, I can live pretty good on 2-3K per year.

>And second post was about that living in Japan cost more than in third world country
No it wasn't, you're the one assuming that, and it would be more than likely wrong. You don't understand the concept or real salary, so lets just stop this.
>>117165746
Sometimes I am glad my passion pays well too.
>>117167880
Anon, we're not talking about situations when your parents pay for all of your food and place to live in.
>>117167689
Average 13K per year rur before war? In Novosibirsk? Nani sore?
>>117164627
But they live in Taiwan or Korea.
>>117164715
Cost of living is higher than the US, but lower than in most of Europe. One of the big differences is that you don't need a car to survive and most employers will pay your train fare to and from work, so transportation can be very cheap.
>>117167806
They don't.
That's why there's a plummeting birth rate, epidemic NEETdom, and an economy that's been stagnant for decades.
>>117167910
You go to sleep at your house and go to work for the internet. Either tat or steal your neighbor's WIFI.

Are they all like Chinese in their savings? Do they hunt for the biggest bargain?

Share your secret anon.
My budget tells me that 100K is barely enough if you want to make sure your kids have the right education.
>>117167759He went for a theoretical science degree, but then got involved with a girl. Their social anxieties feed into each other, and now he's just barely going to pass (a full year late) while he spends every cent of his money on cards and war games. He pretty much stopped hanging out with everyone and just...has no prospects at all. It's hard to watch someone you've known all your life change completely and not be able to do anything about it.Hold on to your friends, Anon.
>>117165746
its not too late anon
make your shitty sim about touching your penis until you fall asleep crying
you'll be able to show your family and children that you made something beautiful
>>117168116
>having kids
Yeah that's the wrong part.
>>117168106
I thought stealing WIFI is a more heinous crime than murder.
But that life must sucks. Now I feel blessed even though I pay the highest rates in the world for my internet.
>>117167988
Of course we isn't. And of course that a case where you own apartment, not rent it.
>>117168092
I am sorry I ever called them deadbeat/pathetic. Now I understand how hard it is to be a man in Japan.
>>117168245
The apartment annual maintenance fee is at least 10K.
>>117165737
If Otaku become the animators because they love anime, how long will it be until anime becomes entirely self-sustaining and at the same time 100% moe?
>>117162590
Not a surprise. That's why salaryman is preferable option.
I remembered i read an old article somewhere where they compare hourly wages to normal salaryman, the high turnover of animators and how they keep themselves afloat.
It's a sad industry despite many people enjoy their work. And it's how the world work anyway. If you slap your name on an anime, some loyal fans will buy it despite it's a mediocre. For e.g the legendary Rie Tanaka.
>>117167483
they have their family backing them up or they live basically from anpan to anpan
We need a comparison point. How much does a doctor make in Japan? It seems girls are all over doctors in my chinese cartoons so they must make mad dosh right?
Actually, being a physician is not bad at all in Japan. Yes, you work long hours but so does everyone else.
>>117168116
>kids
Well, there is your problem right there.
I live alone and rent a room at boarding house, I spend $300 month on living expenses and about $330 on rent.
>>117168290
For you.
>>117168250
It's surprising they haven't gone nutty like the Chinese. Top earners in China get ALL of the women. Hell, there was an article about a guy committing suicide while on a mall date because he couldn't take the mental/financial strain. Men there are often made into unwilling sugar-daddies.
Although I suppose their problems are worse due to screwy gender ratios due to old 1-child, boy>girl policies that created ridiculous value for women due to lack of supply.
Being an animator is not worth it unless you have influence that will make you have a decent budget.
>>117168452
You hear about these things in the media, but my Chinese relatives never noticed anything while living there. May be they are in the wrong part of the country.

>How much does a doctor make in Japan?
If they work on a hospital or clinic they make about 35k a year. Private practice is a lot more lucrative at 100k and more.
>>117168116
Fuck kids, there are too much of them anyway so it isn't worth to have a kid these days.
They are a waste money and resources.
