We're crowdfunding for the Animator Dormitory!
Help underpaid, Japanese animators live for less than $200 a month (including rent, utilities, and internet).
All donations go directly to the animators!

For a typical TV anime series, an animator makes ￥200 by drawing ONE picture.
If one draws 300 pictures per month, his monthly salary is only: 300 drawings × ￥200 = ￥60,000.
However, drawing 300 sketches is a really challenging task for a new animator.

As a starting point for this project, we are beginning to plan out the development of an original anime studio that will be able to pay animators a fair salary (about two to four times the current industry standards) within the next three years.

Right now, the anime industry is experiencing a labor shortage by mass employee exodus due to low wages. There's not enough people to train new animators, so art quality is declining, and show cancellations are skyrocketing.

This means if an animator draws 300 frames a month, they only earn 300×1.8 USD = 540 USD per month.
Drawing 300 pages in a month is incredibly tough, particularly for new animators.
