Comment on Japanese Animators Get Slave Wages: $11,000 A Year by Rin:

I currently work in Japan – Assistant English Teacher (ALT) – and I earn 3.6 million yen per year: about three times that of the average animator.

Through happy and fortuitous circumstance, I was able to become friends with a director and producer at AIC Studios. They took me on a tour of the place . . . at one o’clock in the morning, when all the animators were working. They explained that all of them had to work at night because they had jobs at places like 7-11 and Lawson’s or McDonald’s.

I’ve known for a long time that their pay was only about 10,000 dollars a year. I think it’s despicable and makes all the worse their extortion-like prices for DVDs.

  Economics 101: if the wages are low, it’s because there are too many animators. The market is trying to tell you to look elsewhere. If that’s all you can do, you’re stuck. If you have any other skills, move on. As far as buying new cars for CEOs, remember that with super taxes on the rich, the pay scales adjust UPWARDs to make up for it. Be it a CEO or a ball player, if you want a million take home, you may have to be paid two or three million in “salary”. Politicians will make hay, but …

  If there is anything positive to say, is that this weeds out all the fakes , wannabes , and mediocres and the people that have a true heart for it go thru despite the storm . I remember when anime fans in America had to higher translators and watch raw anime and stop every 5 min to ask what was said . I give a toast to the animators . Anime means alot good times or bad .

  DER JUDEN dominate the US. It’s G-d’s chosen ppl. Look at who controls hollywood, the banks, the politics, the media. Look at any general company, you’ll find that 70% of the executives and board of directors are kikes. We goyim are living under the occupation of G-d’s chosen ppl.
