File:The Sad Truth of Being A Japanese Animator

In the sequel to my last video, The Sad Truth of Being A Mangaka, I looked into the life of Japanese animators instead. Today I discuss the salary, hours, and working conditions of animators in Japan and just how difficult of a job it is. Why is it so harsh? Why don't things change? Watch to find out!

► Important Note: Many of the actual artists used for video material in this video are independent and satisfied animators within the industry, unrelated to much of the actual content of the video. They have been used largely for background content and visual entertainment purposes rather than as an explicit example of the many suffering artists out there. Thanks to Archipel for many of the clips I used for this video; check out their channel for a variety of incredible videos and interviews with some of Japan's most renowned and genuine artists. https://www.youtube.com/c/ArchipelDocks
