The Toyama-based animation studio P.A. Works is recruiting new animators for spring 2017. The company is accepting applications until June 17. In order to entice applicants and show what its like inside P.A. Works, the company put together a 30-minute recruitment video hosted by CG characters Aniko and Anitarō. Hired animators will start with a monthly training pay of 37,500 yen (US$354) for two months in addition to what is earned for production work during that period. After the first year, the company will also grant an 8,000 yen (US$75) month lunch stipend. P.A. Works also provides one-room dorms with a kitchen unit, bath, and toilet for its animators for 15,000 yen (US$141) a month excluding additional service charges and utility costs.
P.A. Works expects its animators to meet a goal of 20 stills completed each day, reaching 350 stills completed a month within the first year before working up to 500 stills completed a month within two years.

I'm going to Japan to work as an animator in P.A. Works. Wish me luck niggas.
All that talent wasted on shit like Glasslip and fucking Haruchika.
>>142910063
No thanks. I'll stick with my six figure job that gives free breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
>>142910063
>1:52 in
Dayum. Good luck nigga.
>>142910063
So, they earn $354 as a base and then x amount per frame done huh. Not bad.
>>142910063
Looks like a nice place to work, and there seems to be one por two cuties to.
>>142910063
Would you stop them if they try another glasslip ?
>>142910063
Lets see your portfolio anon. Also do you speak japanese at all?
I work in canada for cookie jar group. Im an assistant to the production manager, but I also do inbetween work as well.
Can you meet the Shirobakos if you work there?
>>142910063
>at least N1 japanese
nah
>>142910063
I didn't know they have dorms.
>>142910129
They're made good stuff, faglord.

Which project did they use the discount jiminy cricket? Looks dope.
>>142910063
Oh nice, they even have a dorm toó.
>>142910899
Anime Mirai project. Something something Ninninman.
>>142910063
Why would anyone with talent apply to work on this sweatshop?
>>142910063
that pay is fucking terrible
>>142911204
In terms of studios, how does P.A Works compete compared to other studios?
I heard Kyoani pays the most.
>>142911128
Thanks anon.
>>142911260
>I heard Kyoani pays the most.
No. It's Ufotable.
>Working for Poor Man's KyoAni
No thanks.
I cant understand shit but its cool, and damn, the new pa works complex shown at the end is fuck huge.
>>142911370
At least PA can produce successful original anime unlike kyoanal. Also they can produce more than moeshit SoL and harem.
>>142911653
Free was technically original, loosely based on the High Speed LNs but plotwise completely unrelated. The actual High Speed movie was the adaptation.
Shit pay, I'll stick to my seven figures a month even though it'll leave me half dead sometimes.
>2:48
Kumiko's legs.
I don't get why Japanese animators use these desks, it's a pain in the back since your face has to be parallel to the table to not fuck up perspective while drawing so you have to bend your back. I've never seen any animation office in Japan use actual slanted desks.
>>142910063
>half your salary to rent accommodation provided by company in the sticks
It would make a nice place for paid vacation but damn
>>142911354
Its really ufotable though?
>>142911977
PA Flops truly wants to be like GodAni.
>>142911653
It doesn't change the fact that they're Poor Man's KyoAni
What is this thread have to do with Kyoani and their fans anyway.
>>142912470
>better in every way
>poor man
Stay deluded moeshitter, kyoanus is garbage.
>>142912470
The fact is Kyoani like to adaption and PA Works like to original, and that's nothing wrong for both studios but somehow stupid like you love to making pointless comparisons.
>>142912496
>>better in every way
Even Deen is better than PAFlops
>>142912505
Learn English, you dipshit.
>>142912511
Nicely memed, fedora.
>>142911653
>moeshit SoL and harem
Get the fuck out.
Mad PA Floppers jealous of KyoAni's superiority ITT.
>>142912540
>>142912535
>edgelords
Sure is summer.
>>142912471
Some nigger started "studio wars" since he didn't check the regular console wars thread on /v/, just look how he uses the term moeshit unironically.
>>142912629
Report the fuckers and ignore.
>>142912629
He's right, ESL-kun

Just finished that one, pretty good.I was hoping she would somehow cross the bridge she so scared of though.
>Its a show produced by kyoani
>>142910652
>tfw only n4
I-I can animate! Trust me PA!
>>142910063
Is doing a still difficult? Is 20 a lot in a day?
>>142910275
>So, they earn $354 as a base and then x amount per frame done huh. Not bad.
>not bad
That x amount per frame is about $2 and they are expected to draw 350 frames a month which means their monthly salary would be only $1054. But hey, at least you can live in a cheap dorm room.
>>142911982
That way they get good churn on the employees. Medical reasons for quitting are cheaper for them than firing most of them when the anime is over.
>>142914521
Yes? Normal people would take a hour to do a still. So it means you do 20 hour to complete your task.
>>142911712
>Bragging about a fag anime
>>142917684
>he doesn't watch fag anime
Are you a faggot?
>>142912471
No idea. We didn't call them.
>>142910063
You can work minimum wage where I live for, like, 3x that and not have to do jack shit. I hope the cost of living in Japan is dirt cheap.
>>142914608
What if i choose to not live in the dorm?
>>142917835
Then you live with your parents.
>>142910695
Once every 4 years, PA is a fucking wasted studio.
>>142910063
Alright those prices can't be right.
So they give you 75$ for a whole month of food and pay you 141 a month? That just can't be right.
I don't care if you get to live in a cubicle with a shower.
>>142911653
Okay? So can KyoAni.
>>142919568
read that wrong, they pay you 354$ and you pay them 141 for the shit room and board.
Still a horrible deal. Why would anyone want this?
>>142919150
Kuromukuro is their best thing in a while
>20 stills per day
>37,500 yen
N-no thanks.
>>142917824
It is but not in Tokyo were most animation studios are located.
>>142919624
It's not like they force you to live in there
>>142920077
The pay is still horrible.
And you're sorta forced to live there cause that housing is a steal and you're getting payed peanuts.
>>142920077
They offer the dorm because you can't afford anything else with that salary.
>>142920151
Food in japan is cheap though, pretty sure you can live off of 300 yen a day or some such.
>>142920225
That's going to be rice and oil diet, then.
>>142920225
Not really, unless you are willing to cook for yourself.
>>142919568
>>142919624
The chinese foxconn workers make more than that. lol animu indsutry I guess.
>>142919624
So they can have "x years of experience as animator for P.A. Works" in their resumes.
>>142922921
When it comes to art it's all about portfolio. You can have 0 years of animation but draw very well and very fast and you'll get a job.
They'd make more money just freelancing on the internet.
>>142919624
Because they want to work in anime.
>>142919624
>Why would anyone want this?
Because there are hordes of erstwhile animators who would do it for free if they didn't have to eat. Artists, man.
For comparison, there are well-known Hollywood actors who had to wait up to a decade, working hours a day for nothing and failing hundreds of auditions before getting their first role.
>>142910063
True Nip here.
I hope your success
Nanto city is fucking countryside and may be boring but it will be happy to do what you love for a living
I heard some foreign people such as Chinese and Korean started working already.
>>142923389
でも月4万円の生活って辛くないんですか？
>>142910063
>trying to get new animators
>include clip of a showerless, poorfag animator who can't eat out because she's barely making a living
Showing Ema was the wrong idea.
>>142925065
do not 侮辱 Emacchi
>>142910063
are they looking for remote animators?
>>142925889
Try Tatsunoko.
>>142911977
She does have some great legs.
>>142910063
The central asian migrant slave worker in Russia that sweeps the streets earns more than that for less work.
>>142911977
>>142926306
>they keep Kumiko as a reference
Dayum
>>142910063
Fuck that, I want to create my own things, not to draw for someone else.
Fuck Kuromukuro too.
>>142911977
Oh shit it really is Kumiko
I guess every studio does want to be like Kyoani
>>142927512
Although who wouldn't want to have his own Kumiko.
>>142911260
>>142911354
It's Toei, you retards
