It’s often misunderstood that the major titles have above average budgets but don’t even work that way Demon Hunter They actually used huge resources. As always, however, the animators, who receive really cruel salaries, are at the expense.
Not a week before the controversy that upset the production of Demon Slayer: Infinity Train for their pay a small payment to the author of the manga Given the astronomical proceeds from the film, the franchise returns to speak after an animator spoke to the editorial staff of Yahoo Japan about the issue of wages for the industry.
The animator first stated that this category is not used as “employees” in the industry, but rather as a sole trader, so there is no reasonable cost of cuts for anyone. For example, there are veterans and high-profile talent who notice something like this 1 million yen a month (almost 8 thousand euros at current exchange rates), but every 4 weeks with hundreds of working hours.
For the “newcomers” things are changing drastically. We are talking about 170 yen per table (about 1 euro and 30 cents) and a monthly income of 170,000 yen for 400 hours of work, a figure Terumi Nishii, an animator of Jojo’s bizarre adventure, expected some time ago.
In case of Key animator from Demon SlayerWith 10 years of experience, the The unit cost is 240 yen (1 Euro 90) and due to the immense amount of work he had to call an ambulance several times. The problem with the cuts, however, is that regardless of the scene you’re dealing with, whether it’s a simple dialogue or a sequence of actions, the cost is always the same. Only the workload of the individual animator varies.
For an anime action scene, a single cut can take up to two working days, for the simpler sequences only a few hours. Also in the case of the Demon Slayer animator, the payment was 4000 yen for each cut (32 euros) and with an average of 17 cuts per month the salary is 68,000 yen (638 euros).
