I feel the same way. Part of me feels uneasy to learn that most animation is produced overseas when it should be in-house.

About time they did something to encourage more animators, especially since they earn so little in the first place.

So basically Otaku in japan spend more on anime dvds than the animators make all year? That is incredibly sad.

Why, so these new animators can then turn and leave the industry as well? This article does nothing but show throwing money at a problem doesn't make it go away. I mean, personally, I think the 214M Yen would be better spent boosting current salaries, not projects trying to lure in future low-wage earning people forced to work long hours. This isn't speculation, either, as news about low wages has been around for decades. What a waste of money. |

I always thought the issue wasn't that jpn animators didn't have skills or needed training, but that they're paid so little that you can't make a living from it. That money might have been better spent if it was applied to their paychecks somehow.

That would entail the Japanese government admitting there is some sort of problem instead of simply doing feel-good education programs that look good to simple minded voters. |

Based on all the reports coming out of Japan about animator salaries, maybe Japan could spend 214.5 million yen to PAY animators.

well, maybe I'm reading it wrong, but when i read
my first thought was that most of the money would go towards paying the veterans to train the new guys. I just figured some kind of large bonus would be in it for the pros as an initiative to do it. but probably not

I should have read the entire article first. I wonder who will be getting the work? I hope they go with smaller studios because I doubt places like Madhouse and Production IG are really struggling to get work. |

I'm crossing my fingers that all the work goes to Studio 4°C xD but yeah, some small studios would be awesome. |

I thought the figure of $400,000 to produce thirty minutes of animation was intriguing. Given that these are projects funded by the government, does that mean a half-hour of professionally produced anime costs considerably more than $400,000? I've sometimes heard the figure of $1 million per episode bandied about; that seems more plausible when compared to $400K for a project by an unknown animator.

that makes sense since who knows what kind of return they're expecting from these. Are they even gonna sell them? Who would buy an anthology of amateur works? |
