If you don’t want to read the article, the problem is they make production slow to a crawl, so doing three frames with complicated eyes in them will take about two hours. The average pay for one frame is 200 yen, which comes out to about two dollars. These are grown ass adults doing their fulltime job to pay their bills. And these god awful eyes are making them do two hours of work to earn six dollars.
The detailed eyes are not a good thing.
Actually no.
The detailed eyes are not the issue and not what should be criticized.
Japan’s animation industry is *grossly* abusive to it’s employees. Animators are constantly being forced into crunsh for minimal pay.
Animation jobs should be saleryed. The entire concept of “compensation per fram” is absolutely horrible and is what we should focus our energy on.
Like how can you read “These people get paid 6 bucks for 2 hours of work” and blame the thing they produced rather then the industry model that causes them to be so grossly under payed?
