That guy that wanted to be a voice actor had an amazing voice!! I wish he could have continued but the anime/manga industry is hard. Yet I'm confused on why so many people in the west /still/ want to work for the anime/manga industry. That cosplayer isn't wrong about the Japanese work so hard. I'm not saying that any other country/race doesn't work just as hard. But you have to give them credit for continuing so much and even /after/ knowing they get paid so little. Truly, I am thankful for those that work in the industry and will continue to support!
I live in America and really most people here are used to working without vacations in fact i do believe America has the most unused vactions hrs in the world ranging into the millions of hrs per year for the entire country of unused vacation hours. So really i think most people are used to working like that for stuff they love doing.
I guess this is why some of the anime's that I watch don't return for a second or third season and just end abruptly. or sometimes they take years for another season, it must be really hard and stressful
Actually, following seasons usually don’t show up for reasons other than how hard it is to make anime... the reason is usually the manga or light novel used as source material didn’t have enough story written or the Blu-ray/DVD didn’t sell well enough. Other reasons are business relations gone sour or source material didn’t see a big enough sales boost to justify another season.
@@fandyllic1975 Yes i'm well aware that some seasons don't have enough manga material, but I was talking more about the anime that do have enough manga material, but the anime just abruptly stops and the manga keeps going.
Anime from a source material like a manga are usually made to boost the sale of the source, so if it doesn’t boost it enough, there won’t be another season... which I said, but you either missed it or ignored it.
Hmm Also, it's been wildly know across the world that Anime and Manga industry had been notoriously bad to it's workers. But recently Global Streaming companies have been fighting for content in Anime, Hulu and Netflix are now always looking for animation studios to fund them for a contract, and their method of business is very different from how to make and release anime compared to the traditional standards of Japan. The stupid thing about this is that many fans complain about anime being released as a completed series rather than a weekly basis. It's so stupid, this way the stress of a time limit is eased off, but some fans are so stubborn. I actually like the idea of releasing a complete series as a whole, because seasonal Anime had become far to hectic to keep up with every week.
i myself wouldn't mind if they were worked on and completed then released every week, as i just don't have time to stop and watch a whole series, especially when there are so many coming out, also what a lot of people are upset about is the fact that they have to wait a long time to get the anime series that is currently airing and being simul-dubbed. however, i think if the companies were to team up with streaming sites more often for funding on projects, then perhaps the animators and writers could be paid more, or at least the amount that they deserve.
But you don't have to binge it, you could watch an episode a day or a week, that's the beauty of it, why can't people see that? Why be limited to a weekly basis, when so many problems are well known in this method? Deadlines are always a priority, and that leads to episodes being rushed, in either the writing, or the animation. People take in these notices and then they say the show is trash and not worth watching given how bad the production was done in such short times.
I prefer to wait for the whole season to be complete so I can watch it in a timely manner, without forgetting details in the months between the first and last episodes.
I used to want to become a character designer or animator but gave up. Kinda because of the same reasons. I knew it would be extremely hard and you don't get paid enough for it. So I considered whether I love it so much that I could be able to endure the fact. But I didn't want to start hating it when working in that industry myself. I heard a few stories of friends or random people I met when I worked at a restaurant in Japan. One Japanese woman worked backstage at a theater in Japan she used to love wholeheartedly but after only a few years she quit because the job was rough and the payment pretty low compared to it. After she quit she couldn't go to the theater anymore because that job left her with a trauma. Now this musn't be the case for everyone but think about your choices thoroughly.
Now I know why I can't bring myself to draw anymore. I was really traumatized too from my former environment. Working too hard and it does not pay off. But I want to stand up once again. We only live once and I don't want to regret more things.
I have a friend who was one of the animators of Ano Hana... we talked a lot because I also want to be a voice actor. And it's true that the salary of being a mangaka and an animator is low.. that's why he stopped being an animator. Well, others continue to work because they love what they're doing even if the salary is not that high. He also added that Voice Actors' salary is really low. But if you're really popular, like Kaji Yuki or Mamoru Miyano who has their own concerts and own segments, they have extra salary or what... It's a real competition in the VA industry, even the popular VAs still going through auditions for a particular role. That's why, when u have a role, it means u have a job and u have a money. and if u donlt have a role, u don't have a job and u don't have a money. lol. i mean, there are tons of popular pro VA and u can't defeat them easily in an audition. But , I will still continue my dream of becoming a voice actor HAHA! I would like to be in a place where I can do it seriously until I'm satisfied.
Ben Diskin who is an american voice actor (Young Xehanort in KH, Haida in Aggretsuko or Aggressive Retsuko for Japanese) talked about in a kirbopher podcast about how heartbreaking the voice acting industry is. You could be the greatest voice impressionist and actor ever, but there'll be times when the casting director chooses the other guy all because he lives closer to the studio. And he mentions a lot of other honest depressing things about getting into voice acting in there as well. It would only be something that I would have to REALLY love and be determined in order to do it. If you want to hear more about it just look up kirbopher Ben Diskin.
That girl that talked about not being able to write/draw exactly what you want hit the nail on the head for me. The whole anime/manga industry is driven by trends and editors who keep them in check. You could be a talented manga-artist with a interesting story but if an editor thinks it doesn't have enough of a mass appeal you ain't getting published. Even after you alter your manga to appease the editor and somehow managed to get published, you are now stuck with brutal deadlines that leaves little free time and comes with a whole host of health problems not to mention you might not be writing/drawing the kind of manga you really want which may affect your motivation. I've dabbled in creating manga and honestly I applaud people that can dedicate themselves to their craft so much. Its so time consuming and draining creating page after page of stories which are consumed at 1/1000th of the speed at which it was created (especially the more detailed manga).
In Europe and some in America there are special Office work desks that can be extended upwards so you wouldn't have to be sitting all day. I thought Japan would of encouraged something like this a long time ago though.
Voice acting schools, and people said west dubbers are better, HA!!!!. Japanese trained themselves at a young age, my half cousin named Tomo is aiming to be a voice actor too and he's already had his first indie project, guess his age......he's 14. That's how they do it there.
10:44 i agree with her about 3-4 years ago i was thinking about to start draw an illustration , as for my hobby not work though, but the more im aware of the backstage [ ex : the procedure to draw a face or an expression ] , the more im afraid i may have avoid illustration because whenever i see an illustration i will be like, "i have to be able to draw like this because it so pretty" instead of enjoying the art, i will be pressed by the pressure of me having to be able to draw as good as the illustration that i see that was only my speculation but guess what now im learning japanese because i wanted to, and now i have the fear of "not fully understanding one grammar" or "i should've remember this kanji before because i learned it already" , the pressure is real i have been watchin less and less anime ever since just because the character speak japanese .... i just take whatever the character said as a lesson to me to understand what they just said or how well i can translate what they said i just cant enjoy anime as i used to ..
I mean, the exact same happened to me regarding drawing (tho I still think I can make it...) but I stopped watching anime often because I felt kind of lonely not being able to share my opinions and feelings about them with anybody. This winter season however I might watch my first anime after so much and with subs (for sure) SI that I don't get rusty after 5 years of studying the language. In other words, I guess I'm not that paranoid about Japanese grammar and they are saying all the time, but I still love grammar so~
Ah, regarding learning Japanese, I don't have that many problems, mainly because I learned many other languages and I know that forgetting is normal, if you don't use the language. I learned French, Italian and Spanish at least up to a conversational level (I think all should have been about B1 in CEFR), but nowadays (Just about 6 years later), I have forgotten almost everything (especially Spanish). If I hear it, I often know what they're saying, but I couldn't even introduce myself nowadays. If you keep in contact with a language (as it's the case with English if you're on the Internet), you will learn it and if you actually use it as well, you won't forget it.
The 19th Fighter Makes sense to me~ As I'm a fan of the gaming industry and hope to work translating/localizing stuff in the future, I come upon English and Japanese text everyday without even trying. Oh, and I'm from Argentina so I'm a native Spanish speaker actually lol
I'm wondering, several of the guest say "I support the anime/manga I love buy buying the merchandise and by watching/reading their shows/manga". But I wonder if the creator and staff get a royalty from their work? If only the publishers are getting royalties from that hard work, then the people working on it are truly slave/serf labor working for a master. Just like the share croppers we're here in the US.
The girl with the silver hair at 4:40 has an amazing face. Her hair color and style suit her face and aesthetic perfectly. Her expressions are really cute too.
This all goes very well in line with Egoraptors questions for Imaishi and Yoh about what kind of shows they would like to make. The answer was "the kind that would be popular", not "my passion project since childhood". Imaishi even said he's not interested in watching the kind of shows he makes, which says something about the professional and detached approach he has.
Another fantasy ruined. That was really interesting. But I wonder how tough the industry really is. I know a lot of people with deadlines, some more final than others. I also know a lot of people who spend a lot of time at work, but it's not all work all the time even at work. And so far I haven't met anybody who says they're not working a lot and not working hard all the time.

Enjoying an anime is very different from working in anime industry. The former is related to yourself, your heart; while the latter is related to the company. You may choose not to watch a certain genre of anime, but you may not choose the pictures you draw for a company. Given the low salary in the anime industry, a lot of people are reluctant to join the production line as conditions are too harsh.
Very useful and informational video. I can share this reality with my partners at my local Japanese language school whenever I see fit now. They all love anime and manga lol
Work culture in Japan is bad in general, but even more so for those in the anime industry. Ironically it was an anime that taught me that--Shirobako discusses the background of the anime industry. It's sad, considering anime is Japan's biggest industry, yet those who work in the industry work so much and receive so little. I wish there was something I could do as a foreigner to change that. Of course, I buy volumes and DVDs when I can, but I have a hunch that most of that revenue doesn't actually reach the animators. :(
I wish so too, but even a group of consumers is too small unit to change something imho (unless someone starts a whole movement or something, but I'm not seeing it in this case). Something that's fairly ingrained in Japan as you noted. We may try to do some small good things, I heard there was some way to sponsor anime/manga creators/workers but can't remember which website it was (does anyone know?). But overall - can't really imagine a change unless there's a push through globalization, competition and/or government. I _think_ I heard there's a company that treats their workers well and still has no issues meeting deadlines, again can't remember which one, but if so then they unfortunately didn't end up being an example to others. Oh well.
I am also a cosplayer and I love Anime and Manga, but I also don't want to work in that branche, because it is so hard. Though I would love to work in Japan. I also wanted to become a Game Designer (Level Design), but it is super hard to get into the school and there are not many. I did the test and only over a year later they told me that I can go there, but at that point, I had no time to go to school anymore.
I always wanted to be a voice actor, but in my country you can be voice actor only if you know people or if you are going to actor school and it´s not easy to get here. But still... It is my childhood dream and it forever will be..
I actually recently found out that the anime industry is such a tough business! I was learning Japanese so I could go and work there and then... That dream was crushed. :') Haha! Guess I'll stay in Europe after all. Doesn't mean I won't have to work extra before a deadline but it might be less harsh at least. I still want to learn Japanese, though, so I can go and travel around Japan for a few weeks, because that's still a dream holiday. :)
I did want to become an animator, but anime as such, more for Disney. I like the anime/manga art style and draw those kind of drawing for fun but never wanted a career out of it.
i want to work at studio ghibli, and though it may sound vain, i want to take up the mantel in place of hayao miyazaki when he retires(if he ever does). anyways that's my dream.
hopefully someone in the right place watches this video and gives that guy his big break as a seiyuu lmao he and the cute voice girl actually sound really awesome to me :') it kinda hurts hearing how many ppls dreams were crushed by the realism of the industry but i totally get it, i too gave up on wanting to be a voice actor or trying to publish my own comics a long time ago :p
I realised very early on when I was a teen what it would take to create my own manga at the rate that the Japanese do. It's SO much work, if you had assistants it wouldn't take as long but it's still a lot of time and energy, I simply wouldn't have had a life if I had the tough deadlines they face constantly. So I decide fairly quickly that it wasn't for me. I still deeply love the art of manga/anime but I think I'll always enjoy it more as a consumer than a creator. They really should give a bigger salary to all those hardworking animators and mangakas. Their gorgeous animations and drawings deserve better pay.
but you know , you could just have a normal job and use your free time to make manga / be a seiyuu / cosplay or even all , A lot will say you'd need a lot of free time for this but I think it is how fast you can get good quality out
Yes but I'm delusional special gaijin, when I waltz in Japan everyone will worship me and throw manga deals at me where I don't really have to work, only pitch in plot ideas.
Nice video! Hey i have a question: are there crossdresser or crossplay in Japan? Im guy but i like wear girl cosplay so not problem in japan? sorry for my bad english, greetings from Mexico
I wanted to become an animator working in japan, but after knowing the truth i decided to make my own company and set realistic deadlines for myself and my team.
Manga and anime are really beautiful because people work very hard and put their all in it ♡ I wanted to ask, it's allowed to go in cosplay at Puroland? :O I really wanted to!
i already work a shitty job, and if i even found a job as a music technologist in the anime industry, i would certainly pass! I can't take tight schedules. That shit is no for me and to make my main field (which i love) shittier? no thanks!
My (American) Japanese teacher had a friend who worked in Japan as a salesman (I think). There in Japan, people do work harder compared to Americans. Instead of working the"normal hours", my teacher's friend carries his foreign passport to be released at an earlier time. Good for him, but not for his Japanese coworkers. So if foreigners want to work in the anime/manga industry they might go easy on you... maybe.
It's hard for Japanese people to live that dream. Harder for foreigners. When I said "Hard" I didn't mean It lightly. I'm so sad. I think it is really IMPOSSIBLE for me. I used to love to draw Manga too. Overall I love different kinds of art. I'm just a teenager right now. Idk what will I pursue. Life's so tough.
I once read a Q&A from Mr. Sorachi who created Gintama. He said that you almost earn nothing as a mangaka through the Anime adaptation. The producers have to pay a licensing fee to him but that was it. All the earnings from the Animes go to the studios. I'm sure all the Merchandise and DVD sellings go to the studios as well. I hope they someday change this system. This shouldn't be the norm. When I think about how the Mangaka from HxH or D.Gray-man suffer from sicknesses, back pain and constant lack of sleep then I really wonder if this is all worth it. Of course I would be utterly sad if they discontinued the series', but I could understand them. They only earn money through their Manga sellings. Wth Japan. Do something, please. Here's the source if anyone's interested. www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/11/26-1/gintama-creator-comments-on-how-much-manga-authors-make-from-anime-adaptations Sorachi is such a likeable guy.
Feels like doing Manga work, or animation work is just to be seen as a learning experience, and after that just go your own way try to earn money thru youtube, twitch or pateron is a better idea, and less stressful. A shame they get so exploited.
Fun seiyuu fact from your local seiyuu otaku: the seiyuu hes impersonating is takeuchi shunsuke, who got the role as takeuchi-p (the specific character hes impersonating) at around age 16. heres a clip of him if youre interested (age around 17): ruclips.net/video/KHcGcK0YVRg/видео.html
This is just what I thought lately but I think we should support the manga and anime industry if we can and are able to afford so instead of pirating all the time. Don't you feel sad if youre in the position of those ppl who work hard in the industry? I think it contributes to the reason why some really good af anime gets discontinued. So guys, let's all try and stop pirating:c
I love a LOT of things about Japan, but how they treat their animators is criminal. They are paid below poverty wages until they into their 40's. "According to the Japanese Animation Creators Association, an animator in Japan earns on average ¥1.1 million (~$10,000) per year in their 20s, ¥2.1 million (~$19,000) in their 30s, and a livable but still meager ¥3.5 million (~$31,000) in their 40s and 50s. The poverty line is Japan is ¥2.2 million." - Vox They need to change this if they want the industry to survive. Lots they can do because other countries already do those things.
Aren't these the exact same people in the exact same costumes from another video of yours that you go there? Do you just ask them to do several questionnaires at once or are these staged in a weird way?
Animators n mangaka have decent salary and with tough deadlines but yet millions of ppl all around the world download the pirated version of that anime and read the pirated version of that manga. Come on guys. If u have job n money, spend your money to buy their works. I honestly want to support them but I'm still a student right now. A college student. So.. right now I'm just enjoying their pirated version :(
please start using your own subtitles, youtube subtitles are really hard to read due to the text colour and background colour and it just doesnt work as well. I don't typically watch your full videos anymore because of the fact you use youtube subtitles, the vast majority of channels use their own subtitles edited into the video because they're more professional looking, attractive looking and easier to read and the fact you use youtube subtitles really lets your videos down
So... "everyone and their neighbour" wants to either: draw manga or be a voice actor... but what about being a screenwriter? or even an editor? I'm pretty sure "no one" wants to sit down and write or edit video for hours lmao
The guy at 4:30 actually has a really nice voice
yeah he's really good at imitating the chara too
He sounds like a Yaoi character
I’m sorry Owo
I'd just him if a had a company and needed voice actors!
Yeah, and he did sound like TakeP 😱
@@personallydisturbed2051 I've been binging on shounen ai anime recently and I can attest to this being true. XD
That guy that wanted to be a voice actor had an amazing voice!! I wish he could have continued but the anime/manga industry is hard.

Thought the same. Crazy they pass up on this guy who's clearly got an incredible voice for it
I live in America and really most people here are used to working without vacations in fact i do believe America has the most unused vactions hrs in the world ranging into the millions of hrs per year for the entire country of unused vacation hours. So really i think most people are used to working like that for stuff they love doing.
I think if you’re very good at it and you truly love it, it doesn’t matter that much
He should to be a voice actor, his voice is really really nice and good. I was amazed by his voice .. so cool

I prefer to wait for the whole season to be complete so I can watch it in a timely manner, without forgetting details in the months between the first and last episodes.
Tbh I think it’s way deeper than that, promoting mags through anime is normal so they try to continue an anime as long as possible by weekly episodes

Yes, my cousin said it's optional if you are younger, mostly before debut you will be trained by the expense of the agency or sponsor.

10:44 i agree with her
about 3-4 years ago i was thinking about to start draw an illustration , as for my hobby not work though,
but the more im aware of the backstage [ ex : the procedure to draw a face or an expression ] , the more im afraid i may have avoid illustration
because whenever i see an illustration i will be like, "i have to be able to draw like this because it so pretty" instead of enjoying the art, i will be pressed by the pressure of me having to be able to draw as good as the illustration that i see
that was only my speculation but guess what
now im learning japanese because i wanted to, and now i have the fear of "not fully understanding one grammar" or "i should've remember this kanji before because i learned it already" , the pressure is real
i have been watchin less and less anime ever since just because the character speak japanese .... i just take whatever the character said as a lesson to me to understand what they just said or how well i can translate what they said
i just cant enjoy anime as i used to ..
Kaede Hylfreen Wow you remind me a lot of myself...

If you keep in contact with a language (as it's the case with English if you're on the Internet), you will learn it and if you actually use it as well, you won't forget it.
The 19th Fighter Makes sense to me~ As I'm a fan of the gaming industry and hope to work translating/localizing stuff in the future, I come upon English and Japanese text everyday without even trying. Oh, and I'm from Argentina so I'm a native Spanish speaker actually lol
However of course, I do constantly forget Japanese words and phrases if I don't hear/use them again soon enough...
I'm wondering, several of the guest say "I support the anime/manga I love buy buying the merchandise and by watching/reading their shows/manga". But I wonder if the creator and staff get a royalty from their work?
If only the publishers are getting royalties from that hard work, then the people working on it are truly slave/serf labor working for a master. Just like the share croppers we're here in the US.
they get a really small royalty fee cause of their creative rights
I think they do but the publishing company for sure gets the money from the sales.
The girl with the silver hair at 4:40 has an amazing face. Her hair color and style suit her face and aesthetic perfectly. Her expressions are really cute too.
Do you know what anime she and her friend were cosplaying from? It's in the back of my mind but I can't remember and it's driving me crazy.
This all goes very well in line with Egoraptors questions for Imaishi and Yoh about what kind of shows they would like to make. The answer was "the kind that would be popular", not "my passion project since childhood". Imaishi even said he's not interested in watching the kind of shows he makes, which says something about the professional and detached approach he has.
Another fantasy ruined.
That was really interesting. But I wonder how tough the industry really is. I know a lot of people with deadlines, some more final than others. I also know a lot of people who spend a lot of time at work, but it's not all work all the time even at work. And so far I haven't met anybody who says they're not working a lot and not working hard all the time.
depends on where you live also maybe. in japan, work and deadline are very rigid, and the minimum standard is very high.
Life is not beautiful as bakuman plot' once a wise weeb said this.
It's really not.
But the character in bakuman itself had a lot of hardship going on so it's not really that far-strecthed. Though i guess irl it would be 5-10x harder.
And even in Bakuman they keep murdering themselves doing nothing but stress and work all day long
im working as a comic artist now,before as a animator....and yes you must sacrifice everything
I'd like to see a video asking about video game developers in Japan. I'd like to work for Square Enix or Nipon Ichi Software.

ああ・・・私はビデオを字幕なしで見ました・・・
字幕使ったの人にとってそのコメントはセンスがないね・・・
恥ずかしい(*ﾉωﾉ)
I would love to see your makeup tutorial ✨😆✨
I forgot to turn on the subtitles. Only realized halfway thru. lol
They look so adorable dressed up like that.
Enjoying an anime is very different from working in anime industry.
The former is related to yourself, your heart; while the latter is related to the company. You may choose not to watch a certain genre of anime, but you may not choose the pictures you draw for a company.
Given the low salary in the anime industry, a lot of people are reluctant to join the production line as conditions are too harsh.

Very useful and informational video. I can share this reality with my partners at my local Japanese language school whenever I see fit now. They all love anime and manga lol
I would like to work in anime goods shop :3 I have studied japanese for 8 years and have been in Tokyo 3 times already and that's my dream now ❤
Work culture in Japan is bad in general, but even more so for those in the anime industry. Ironically it was an anime that taught me that--Shirobako discusses the background of the anime industry. It's sad, considering anime is Japan's biggest industry, yet those who work in the industry work so much and receive so little. I wish there was something I could do as a foreigner to change that. Of course, I buy volumes and DVDs when I can, but I have a hunch that most of that revenue doesn't actually reach the animators. :(
I wish so too, but even a group of consumers is too small unit to change something imho (unless someone starts a whole movement or something, but I'm not seeing it in this case). Something that's fairly ingrained in Japan as you noted. We may try to do some small good things, I heard there was some way to sponsor anime/manga creators/workers but can't remember which website it was (does anyone know?). But overall - can't really imagine a change unless there's a push through globalization, competition and/or government. I _think_ I heard there's a company that treats their workers well and still has no issues meeting deadlines, again can't remember which one, but if so then they unfortunately didn't end up being an example to others. Oh well.
That whole revenue goes to the company. The animators get their own salary.
I am also a cosplayer and I love Anime and Manga, but I also don't want to work in that branche, because it is so hard. Though I would love to work in Japan. I also wanted to become a Game Designer (Level Design), but it is super hard to get into the school and there are not many. I did the test and only over a year later they told me that I can go there, but at that point, I had no time to go to school anymore.

Which characters are they cosplaying?? They look amazing!
I don't sure which characters it is, but its anime may be Pripara
The one in gray hair is Hibiki and yellow hair is Fuwari from Pripara
Better to do it indie and find a way to convert it into cash yourself.
I always wanted to be a voice actor, but in my country you can be voice actor only if you know people or if you are going to actor school and it´s not easy to get here. But still... It is my childhood dream and it forever will be..
Some studios are working to give their workers a dormitories. There's an article about it on Myanimelist.
I actually recently found out that the anime industry is such a tough business! I was learning Japanese so I could go and work there and then... That dream was crushed. :') Haha! Guess I'll stay in Europe after all. Doesn't mean I won't have to work extra before a deadline but it might be less harsh at least. I still want to learn Japanese, though, so I can go and travel around Japan for a few weeks, because that's still a dream holiday. :)
You all are so beautiful and the costume are amazing
I did want to become an animator, but anime as such, more for Disney. I like the anime/manga art style and draw those kind of drawing for fun but never wanted a career out of it.
4:30 For those that don't know, that's producer from Idolm@ster.
If Japanese people think it's to hard, then you know it's hard!
it's so amazing that they can wear things like this in japan cuz even in cosplay ...
i want to work at studio ghibli, and though it may sound vain, i want to take up the mantel in place of hayao miyazaki when he retires(if he ever does). anyways that's my dream.
Wow I wish i can Draw but I can only draw a Chicken & Bird!! But They Look Same 😀😁😂
hopefully someone in the right place watches this video and gives that guy his big break as a seiyuu lmao he and the cute voice girl actually sound really awesome to me :') it kinda hurts hearing how many ppls dreams were crushed by the realism of the industry but i totally get it, i too gave up on wanting to be a voice actor or trying to publish my own comics a long time ago :p
wow intersting topic!
very informative!!
I realised very early on when I was a teen what it would take to create my own manga at the rate that the Japanese do. It's SO much work, if you had assistants it wouldn't take as long but it's still a lot of time and energy, I simply wouldn't have had a life if I had the tough deadlines they face constantly. So I decide fairly quickly that it wasn't for me. I still deeply love the art of manga/anime but I think I'll always enjoy it more as a consumer than a creator. They really should give a bigger salary to all those hardworking animators and mangakas. Their gorgeous animations and drawings deserve better pay.
but you know , you could just have a normal job and use your free time to make manga / be a seiyuu / cosplay or even all , A lot will say you'd need a lot of free time for this but I think it is how fast you can get good quality out
Yes but I'm delusional special gaijin, when I waltz in Japan everyone will worship me and throw manga deals at me where I don't really have to work, only pitch in plot ideas.
Said no one ever.
Meh, you are normal weeb
I honestly find this joke interesting lmao especially how he used gaijin
for me, i like to become an illustrator but anime style drawings.
and curse you, deadlines! cause i will be DEAD by now...
Nice video! Hey i have a question: are there crossdresser or crossplay in Japan? Im guy but i like wear girl cosplay so not problem in japan? sorry for my bad english, greetings from Mexico
My younger cousins were interested.. Brats got in the way... Its nice and seems for the much younger crowd.
I wanted to become an animator working in japan, but after knowing the truth i decided to make my own company and set realistic deadlines for myself and my team.
Manga and anime are really beautiful because people work very hard and put their all in it ♡ I wanted to ask, it's allowed to go in cosplay at Puroland? :O I really wanted to!
i already work a shitty job, and if i even found a job as a music technologist in the anime industry, i would certainly pass! I can't take tight schedules. That shit is no for me and to make my main field (which i love) shittier? no thanks!
That's one good takeuchi p impression
Voice actors and animators should be paid way more
My (American) Japanese teacher had a friend who worked in Japan as a salesman (I think). There in Japan, people do work harder compared to Americans. Instead of working the"normal hours", my teacher's friend carries his foreign passport to be released at an earlier time. Good for him, but not for his Japanese coworkers. So if foreigners want to work in the anime/manga industry they might go easy on you... maybe.
It's hard for Japanese people to live that dream. Harder for foreigners. When I said "Hard" I didn't mean It lightly.
I'm so sad. I think it is really IMPOSSIBLE for me.
I used to love to draw Manga too. Overall I love different kinds of art. I'm just a teenager right now. Idk what will I pursue. Life's so tough.
I once read a Q&A from Mr. Sorachi who created Gintama. He said that you almost earn nothing as a mangaka through the Anime adaptation. The producers have to pay a licensing fee to him but that was it. All the earnings from the Animes go to the studios.
I'm sure all the Merchandise and DVD sellings go to the studios as well. I hope they someday change this system.
This shouldn't be the norm.
When I think about how the Mangaka from HxH or D.Gray-man suffer from sicknesses, back pain and constant lack of sleep then I really wonder if this is all worth it. Of course I would be utterly sad if they discontinued the series', but I could understand them. They only earn money through their Manga sellings. Wth Japan. Do something, please.
Here's the source if anyone's interested. www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/11/26-1/gintama-creator-comments-on-how-much-manga-authors-make-from-anime-adaptations
Sorachi is such a likeable guy.
Just self publish on the web
Feels like doing Manga work, or animation work is just to be seen as a learning experience, and after that just go your own way try to earn money thru youtube, twitch or pateron is a better idea, and less stressful.
A shame they get so exploited.
Fun seiyuu fact from your local seiyuu otaku: the seiyuu hes impersonating is takeuchi shunsuke, who got the role as takeuchi-p (the specific character hes impersonating) at around age 16. heres a clip of him if youre interested (age around 17): ruclips.net/video/KHcGcK0YVRg/видео.html
Well, you say it's low, but what are the numbers? Do you get less than the worker from konbini?
I felt like I was watching an anime at 4:26 XD
Poderia ter legenda em português
Could you ask tourists in Japan if they would like to live in Japan?
4:26 shibuya san
0:58 HIBIKI I SEE YOU THERE!!!!
So money and time is what they need. So when i start working. I'll donate some especially for the staraters. And I can't do anything about the time.
I've always wondered if the voice you use in your videos is your real voice? It's insanely high pitched
I want to become mangaka but I don't know if I am able 😅
do you have names of all of these cosplayers ? they are pretty good tho
0:38 I'm in love 😍
武内Pのモノマネちょっと似てる、すごい！
Yooo that guy would’ve been a great VA his voice sounds so good he could even get a role for a shounen MC role
I thought he had a pretty good voice for it too.
This is just what I thought lately but I think we should support the manga and anime industry if we can and are able to afford so instead of pirating all the time. Don't you feel sad if youre in the position of those ppl who work hard in the industry? I think it contributes to the reason why some really good af anime gets discontinued. So guys, let's all try and stop pirating:c
I love a LOT of things about Japan, but how they treat their animators is criminal. They are paid below poverty wages until they into their 40's. "According to the Japanese Animation Creators Association, an animator in Japan earns on average ¥1.1 million (~$10,000) per year in their 20s, ¥2.1 million (~$19,000) in their 30s, and a livable but still meager ¥3.5 million (~$31,000) in their 40s and 50s. The poverty line is Japan is ¥2.2 million." - Vox
They need to change this if they want the industry to survive. Lots they can do because other countries already do those things.
Aren't these the exact same people in the exact same costumes from another video of yours that you go there? Do you just ask them to do several questionnaires at once or are these staged in a weird way?
Did I hear a "Yeet" in the intro?
I never said all anime is made in Japan, but almost all of it is driven by Japanese companies with some outsourcing.
do you have the cosplayers' names?
Animators n mangaka have decent salary and with tough deadlines but yet millions of ppl all around the world download the pirated version of that anime and read the pirated version of that manga.
Come on guys. If u have job n money, spend your money to buy their works. I honestly want to support them but I'm still a student right now. A college student. So.. right now I'm just enjoying their pirated version :(
When your so pro at watching anime that you watch this video without subs... And completely understand what they are saying 😂
Well, at least working in anime/manga industries are not as harsh as how you would work in K-Pop industry.
keluangman98 they are both slave industries
@@dianix2011 Indeed. But slavery in K-Pop industries are worse.
😍😍😍😍😍
like, all of em
7:10 Disney in the early ages? *cough*
Cathy Cat 👀🤤... 🤭🙇♂️
Change the still ... "I am a manga artist" not ... "An" ... M is not a vowel.
please start using your own subtitles, youtube subtitles are really hard to read due to the text colour and background colour and it just doesnt work as well. I don't typically watch your full videos anymore because of the fact you use youtube subtitles, the vast majority of channels use their own subtitles edited into the video because they're more professional looking, attractive looking and easier to read and the fact you use youtube subtitles really lets your videos down
😍😍
these cosplay are really good idol m@ster love live sakura !
So... "everyone and their neighbour" wants to either: draw manga or be a voice actor... but what about being a screenwriter? or even an editor? I'm pretty sure "no one" wants to sit down and write or edit video for hours lmao
Minna kire~
Wow marvel
~💗~
👀👀👀
pripara!!!
there is no industry that exists that isn't exploitative
Have I been drinking again?.....:-)
