The low salaries of animators are exposed again, that's right. A Twitter user named “ぷるこ (@prkg_prkg_) ”, who claims to be a worker in the anime in Japan , posted an update that went viral, revealing the salary he received as an animator; he made over 500 animation frames in a month .
Low salaries of entertainers are exposed AGAIN!
The user reported:
“I didn’t know that 180,000 yen (US$1,434.69) was what an animation company would pay me. You get 150,000 yen (US$1,195.58) for a part-time job as a student, so 180,000 yen for a professional job isn’t much. I already turned down a company that offered me much more because I thought I could easily earn more money. This is the salary of a 4-month junior worker who worked very hard to make 500 animation frames.”
He went on to say:
"Don't worry, if you can sustain this for two years, you'll have an additional 30,000 in gross revenue for the same number of frames, including fixed costs."

多くの新人ｱﾆﾒﾀさんや志望者さんを不安にさせてしまったね…
大丈夫2年続ければ固定費が付いて同じくらいの枚数でも収入3万増えるよ！笑
