most interesting facts about the anime
industry whether you love it or hate it
it’s an industry you just simply can’t
ignore drawing in over 2 billion dollars
each year and housing one of the most
passionate fan bases on the planet
coming in number 5 animating cabbage as
well is of utmost importance crap given
that anime makes up around sixty percent
of the world’s animation content it may
come as no surprise that some mistakes
are made along the way one such account
of this would be the infamous cabbage
controversy which started one 1-series
animated a cabbage particularly poorly
after its airing posters on the popular
Japanese image board – Chan rushed to
criticize it and it was quickly cemented
as an internet meme the cabbage was
later redrawn for the DVD release of the
series and ever since anime studios have
prided themselves on animating cabbages
with particular detail no cabbage see
that said the absurd schedule that
studios have to abide by
still leaves plenty of chances for error
even the beloved Dragon Ball franchises
hit hard times recently
Oh
number four comma ket is bigger than
comic-con and hornier this is the comic
market better known as comic cat when it
comes to nerd culture conventions San
Diego comic-con usually stands as the
industry Titan drawing in some of the
biggest stars in film and television and
reaching attendance peaks of a hundred
and sixty seven thousand you’d be
hard-pressed to find anywhere with its
big of a draw that is unless you’re
heading to Tokyo’s biannual event comic
n the event short for a comic market
draws a regular crowd of half a million
each year with an attendance record at
five hundred ninety thousand but what
exactly possesses these otaku to stand
in line for hours on end
fan fiction of course short comic works
known as dojinshi are sold in abundance
at these events and while fan art exists
for all genres anime fans have a
particularly voracious appetite for
dojinshi particularly the erotic
dojinshi I mean come on who wouldn’t
want to see Saitama and jenos get it on
cop Z while these events may be your
chance to pick up the latest hit visual
novel or scope some sweet cosplays the
driving force behind it is those beloved
often pornographic fan fiction works
hilarious it’s not meant to be hilarious
it’s supposed to be erotic maybe you
don’t understand this oh I understand
and them into it number three being a
voice actor in Japan is a way of life
Costanza Kota I can’t even sit over on
the hottest yay with the rise of popular
voice acting talents like Troy Baker and
Jennifer Hale in the West this one may
come as no surprise but the culture
actually runs much deeper in Japan in
order to become a successful voice actor
or say you would likely have to attend
one of the 130 different schools
dedicated to the craft of the country
once hitting stardom they gain fan clubs
at musical performances and often stay
in the public eye but it isn’t all
peaches and cream ha go Kaku the hose on
the dama does anyone know I got it
some hardcore fans idolize these say you
so much that they put them on a tight
leash often turning against them
they’re hot dating one example this
would be Haruhi Suzumiya voice actress
aya hirano who commented on her love
life during a television interview she
was quickly shunned by her otaku
audience and received countless death
threats so much ago could it taco go
ahead and oh sorry got dozin number 2
animator salary is shockingly low many
young artists may aspire to become
animator someday but for the anime
industry it’s not always as romantic as
it seems a survey distributed by the
Japan animation creators Association
found that the average annual income
lens around 1.1 million yen and before
you say that sounds pretty good
that’s only $10,000 u.s. animators are
further subdivided into two groups first
the key animators draw the most
important poses then the in-between
animators fill in the rest of them the
worst part is it’s not a simple job by
any means I told you to clean up
appointment money yes get here animators
are put on a strenuous work schedule to
complete each episode usually with only
one day off per week some smaller
companies opt to pay animators per cell
or drawing which can often be as low as
$1 each but at the end of the day many
animators do it just for the pride of
contributing their talents to these
great works
I like presses are shaped like this hey

think so I do a lot of doodling in my
notebook kid number one there is a
stigma on otaku in Japan like economy

for all kinds of crazy stuff and it may
often plays the role of scapegoat for
social issues in Japan as it stands the
country has a troublingly low birthrate

the root cause it’s believed that otaku
