Welcome to Tales of the Industry, a column where we will share stories from real working professionals in the anime business. These stories will be anonymous, and told in the first person. Names and unimportant details have been changed to protect people’s jobs, but the stories are otherwise 100% true. They might’ve taken place last year, they might’ve taken place a decade ago. They’re the things that the pros wish they could tell you.
Are you a current or former member of the anime business or convention staff? Do you have a story you’ve been dying to tell, but just can’t tell it the normal way? Get in touch with Justin Sevakis through any social media you like. His Twitter account is @WorldOfCrap, if you aren’t acquainted.

Government/industry study produce similar results to 2009 study
Does this mean that the animators reported their own income levels?
The last time ANN ran a piece like this, the more level-headed of the commentators asserted that animators got a base salary plus a completion bonus per commissioned work. Does this 9200 figure account for that, if true?
How “unlivable” is $9200/year in Japan?
Kinda embarrassing that when the PM of Japan was in DC, there was a race riot going on just up the street.
