Toei Animation Insider Exposes Shocking Truths About Anime Industry Working Conditions!
As reported by the Association of Japanese Animation (AJA), an organization primarily connected to production companies rather than workers, the anime market has experienced a significant increase over the past decade – a significant chunk of this growth is attributed to the expansion of the international market (since most transactions occur in dollars). However, numerous workers have expressed concerns that, despite the promising figures presented by AJA, their working conditions within the industry haven’t shown improvement. The United Nations has echoed these sentiments and even issued a cautionary statement suggesting that the anime industry could face collapse if it fails to address wage issues and work hours.
