How about exploring with us how many employees work at the studios responsible for your anime ? We recently discussed the controversy surrounding the Demon Slayer . Despite producing incredible animation, they're facing financial difficulties. You can learn all the details about this case by clicking here . But now, let's understand how these studios deal with the demand for professionals. Without further ado, let's get to the list!
First, it's worth remembering that the amount of money animation studios spend to produce 24-minute episodes is insane. It's estimated that animating a single episode these days costs over $100,000!
On the other hand, if we talk about the country with the largest and most renowned anime production studios, Japan dominates the list. But being at the top doesn't mean it's more profitable than other countries. Japanese animators' salaries are far from what animators earn in the United States. However, the amount of work the Japanese deliver in a month is far greater than that of other countries in an entire year!
Finally, for this list we've collected the most popular studios, some of their most relevant previously produced work, and the number of employees updated to the date closest to the work:
