For a typical TV anime series, an animator makes ¥200 by drawing ONE picture.
If one draws 300 pictures per month, his monthly salary is only: 300 drawings × ¥200 = ¥60,000.
However, drawing 300 sketches is a really challenging task for a new animator.

In this video, anime producer Toshio Okada speaks about production committees and how they harm the anime creation process.
We've subtitled the video to spread awareness.
Right now, the anime industry is experiencing a labor shortage by mass employee exodus due to low wages. There's not enough people to train new animators, so art quality is declining, and show cancellations are skyrocketing.

We've launched 2018 Animator Dormitory Project!
In 2018, we will be making a 15-second commercial for the short animation we will create by ourselves.
These will be made by a group of people who lived/are currently living in the Animator Dormitory.
