Animators in Japan.

I have been reading closely concerning the situation with animators in Japan. Anime News Network wrote an article regarding the situation in detail here. The article mostly discusses the irregular payments given to low-level animator and directors. Of course the directors will get paid more. I am mostly concern with the base pay of some beginning animators.

The JAniCA, AJA, ASIFA Japan, Tokyo Anime Center have some valuable information regarding the animation industry in Japan.

Japanese culture and western culture are obviously different. The rights of works for equal pay, vacation time, and job security are the same in any country.

This has been an ongoing issue in the Japanese Animation industry for quite sometime.
