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.

I’m not sure how that works as if it isn’t from Japan, it ain’t anime and the Japanese anime companies don’t much care about foreign markets, certainly not enough to market anime exclusively to us.
Anno commenting on anime imploding is rather ironic as he was a major contributor to the trend of most anime being marketed to and exclusively made for a small and ever-insular group of otaku
