The many fans of Darker Than Black’s second season have been disturbed to note a production error of epic magnitude, with the anime mysteriously featuring a flying car thanks to the evident thoroughness of its quality control procedures.
Keen observation by fans of nopan mahjong anime Saki has revealed that the anime is environmentally conscious enough to recycle frames from earlier episodes wherever possible, which some unkind fans have labeled a cheap cost-cutting measure by a studio on the brink of disaster.
The dire financial straits of Japan’s animators appear to show few signs of improving, with a reported average yearly salary of Tokyo-area animators being around a measly $11,000 and the percentage of those leaving the industry entirely at 8 – 9%.
One animator reports a monthly wage of only $700: “I can’t afford a girlfriend, let alone a wife.”
Even a producer from well-known, although oft-troubled, animation studio Gonzo laments:
“Since last year the number of orders for new projects and our fees have been dropping. A 30-minute TV episode contract used to be ¥18,000,000 ($180,000), but now it’s around ¥13,000,000.”
When it was broadcast, fans were incredulous at the level of quality on display in the seventh episode of Tetsuwan Birdy Decode 2, and many started to speculate that is was an artistically stylised special sequence, rather than the work of starving South Korean animators overseen by Japanese incompetents.
The newly released DVD edition puts any notion that this was anything less than a legendary debacle to rest, as the comparison below plainly illustrates what transpired throughout the entire episode:
I really enjoyed that scene in the anime to be honest. REALLY. Thought it really fit into the mood cause I mean she's just a little kid at that time and it really looks like... More
XD and it still looks crappy, even with DVD. what a shame... More
A lack of focus on the part of the K-ON! animators appears to have given rise to same in Ritsu, for she new appears to have developed a nasty case of strabismus…
Anybody aspiring to contribute towards Japan’s colossal animation industry will likely be having second thoughts on seeing the latest statistics on their pay; the average annual salary paid to an animator in their twenties is a pathetic ¥1,100,000, rising to an even more shocking ¥2,140,000 in their thirties.
The average salary for a Japanese worker is approximately ¥4,500,000, with the average for those in their twenties being some ¥3,500,000, and for those in their thirties it is ¥4,800,000.
K-ON! otaku have been busy scrutinising every scene of the anime in case it holds some unnecessary product they can rush out and buy en masse, and one of their discoveries has been a profusion of photographic references used to create the settings in the title.
Their detailed comparison images leave little doubt as to the real world foundations of K-ON!:
Viewers of Valkyria Chronicles can’t help but notice certain curious similarities between the show’s heroine Alicia Melchiott and a certain Kana Minami, of Minami-ke… Mere coincidence?
I've been playing the game and watching the anime and have noticed that anime Alicia is a lot more erratic. It doesn't bother me all that much though. Interesting to have a source for some... More

As we have come to expect, the latest Code Geass DVD, the ninth, brings with it a slew of improvements, not least of which are a variety of curious changes to the facial expressions of characters major and minor.
The images on the left are the broadcast version.
Sharp-eyed observers have spotted some very odd touches in Mio anime K-On! Most notably, the girls seem to be used to a life of true luxury, evident in all the episodes so far…

Sengoku jidai anime Sengoku Basara recently aired, and observers soon noticed some very strange differences between two of the broadcast versions.
Rather than the usual censorship differences, it appears for some inscrutable reason broadcasters CBC and TBS have each acquired their own not so subtly different version of the anime…
2ch provides a detailed comparison below.
It would be awesome if they were two alternate universes. So right now it's just some differences in the expressions, just to point out the slight differences in the characters' personalities (somber characters look more... More
