How are you supporting the anime industry, /a/?
I do my best to pirate anime daily and shitpost on /a/.
>>142803428
Crunchyroll, BD and figurines.
Japan never established a strong market in the west. So no, I can't support them without buying expensive BDs and figurines. And I don't want those.
>>142803428
Occasionally buy expensive useless (but nice looking) plastic things

Nope.
If anything, I'd support manga/LN industry, but anime can burn along the fujoshit it is meant for.
>>142803428
>$9,000
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Holy fuck! Class war when?
Should have just translated the titles.
Converting it to USD skews the inflation at any given time and gives readers a bias sense for their living costs.
>Chief animator
>44k
i feel sorry for Japan animation business. Ive worked as a 3d animator for 2 years in Canada and i make 40k
Well I could be supporting them a lot better if it wasn't for those jack asses at Harmony Gold.

For fuck's sake, this isn't a chatroom. Punctuate properly.
Also, thanks to Prime Minister Zoolander, our dollar's on par with monopoly money. You're $40k is probably worth the same as the Animator's 110,000 yen.
>>142803428

>>142804515
Yes, newbie animators get 500 bucks a month. An experienced one will get 7-800

Jesus, how do they survive?

>>142804485
Its the opposite. The cost of living is like 3x what it is in America. And significantly higher in Tokyo.
>>142804578
Are you a Trudeau fan? I've never met one that wasn't somebody's horny mom.
>>142804570
Probably multiple animator jobs on the side not to mention probably selling doujins on the side
lmao why does the college student make more than the animator? All she did was research the material.

>>142803428
Woah, how accurate are those numbers?
If those are real, how come animators still exist? Wouldn't they get more by, you know, filling sacks and carrying boxes at supermarkets?
>>142804413
I hope you kys you ingnorant fuck...
>>142804676
Of course there are but what these people are forgetting is that studios arent in high living areas like Tokyo and these are salary, they get payed monthly ... the voice actor gets a lump sum for the work plus royalties but if you look you see at best they get 4 or 5 per year, of course its higher because its 2-4 months of work with no assurance after its done they will get another job.
>>142804714
>kys
>...
I hope you fucking die first, you /v/ retard.
>>142804706
Here are some figures from a recent survey.
>>142804676
>so they all sleep in public parks or what?
More like 450 sq foot apartments. Like those things you see bachelors in anime living in.
>are there no minimum wage laws?
There are. But tons of jobs, including animators, are not a part of those laws. And when animators tried to start a union, the animation companies fired tons of them. Because as bad of a job as it is, there's still 10 people waiting to take your place. And of course, people in China and Korea will do it even cheaper.
Most animators get paid for how much content they draw, not an hourly wage. So if an animator is able to churn out 5 minutes worth of stuff in a week, he gets paid a certain amount. If he only did 3 minutes worth, he gets paid less. So the next time you see a show with quality issues and bad animation, realize it was probably done by someone who got paid next to nothing and was rushing to get more done. Or even did half the animation for that one episode.
>>142804992
>are not a part of those laws
Why the fuck not?
>>142804841
Never been on v, you poor basement dweller.
You legitimately thought that if something is an industry, that everyone who works in it is paid well?
You might be a new form of retard in the spectrum...

>>142805031
No union, as I said. And the government doesn't care about the animation industry. This is a country that invented CDs, but took 20 years to enforce copyrights on them.
>>142805325
Is that all you could come up with now....
Also how in any way are spics and kys related?

What, you implying otaku aren't buying things from anime?
Re:Zero, Haifuri, Macross, Kabaneri are at the top in disc sales of this season and they're otakushit.
>>142804149
>I live in Canada and i make 40k
*ftfy
So long as you're not living in the land of the free or the land of the rising sun, you're set.
>>142806432
Obviously, that's not it. But if fujoshi start buying the only fujobait show in a season and it's at the top of preorders/sales as a result, maybe there will be two or three fujo shows the next season because people catch on and notice it sells.
Of course, if there were suddenly 30 fujoshi shows in a season they wouldn't all magically get super high sales, since fujoshi can't shit money any more than otaku can.
But if anime is "meant for fujoshit" that's because there was a demand and they started buying it.
>>142803428
There's a crowdfund thread on helping animators yesterday and there's barely any rise on the number of backers.
People on /a/ doesn't care about helping the industry. They're just want to yell at each other about how their studio is better.
>>142806758
I will only help them if they animate what I want.
>>142806831
You realize the animators have literally no say in what they animate, right?
>>142804505
He said useless things
This guy can be a huge faggot sometimes, but he makes a good point here. Now I have a rule where if I especially enjoy a series after I finish it, I buy the BD or whatever merchandise for it, sort of as a token of appreciation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AHo-_XEV6E
>>142806758
There's no incentive for people n /a/, or really anyone outside of Japan, to back anime. They haven't established the industry in the west. They had a chance in the 80s and 90s, but didn't do it. They sold the rights to their shows to middle man companies like ADV and 4kids, who ran them so far into the ground, there was no way to sustain the market. It would be like if Hollywood sold the entire rights of their movies to a candy company in Japan. Then were surprised when the candy company didn't advertise or distribute Avatar well in Japan.
If Japan had developed a strong anime market, and more importantly, ADVERTISED anime as a medium, then they would have plenty of backers. Probably more people in America and Europe would be watching and buying anime than in Japan. But they didn't. And the vacuum they left let free online fansubs take over. Its actually a miracle that all Japanese people don't just pirate anime as well.
>>142806831
Then there's probably something in it for you. They once housed an animator that worked in action (Gundam G, Kabaneri) and a female animator that worked in CGDCT (Pleiades, Sansha sanyo)

I'm sorry but what's the difference between producer and director
>$9000 a year

>>142809066
Producer is administrative and deals with corporate side and facilitation of getting things made. Director is creative. Like a specialist writer with expert knowledge of the anime process.
