I have been reading the newest arc of Kaiji and it's still fun. The newest gamble is probably the most interesting one yet. I have a bit of difficulty with Majong based gambles because I don't understand the rules. The newest gamble in Kaiji is called One Poker and it's super easy to understand and fun to go through.

I can't believe Washizu is loving dead and none of the tension of the match is gone.

Even if he is revived he has lost.

Sahara (RIP). I wouldn't exactly say that Sakazaki betrayed Kaiji. IIRC he just kicked Kaiji out of his house because he's a freeloading piece of poo poo.

I don't think he has even formally kicked him out the house yet. He is just going to do so pretty soon, cause Kaiji is a freeloading piece of poo poo.

This chart contains the average.



Animator's are payed by the page. So they tend to make crap.

It was a system that worked better in the older days for them. But the system was never updated.

Hey is a guy describing it. An animator who moved to japan to work on something he loved.

Some guy who moved to japan to work on Anime posted:

The pay/hours change depending on who you are and what your job is. The best position (which only the best of the best can manage) is "freelance genga-man aka freelance key-frame animator" ... you can demand your own prices and actually take time off after project if you want. For everyone else (and definitely for inbetween artists like me), its as bad as the rumors. I worked at a slave-labor-inbetween-studio called "nakamura pro" for 8 months before moving onto Pierrot which is where I am now. At Nakamura pro we were paid $1 per drawing, meaning you earned between $5 and $25 a day. At Pierrot it`s way better... but still pretty bad. 1 drawing = $2-$4 .... so on any given day I can earn about $40. (HORRIBLE by anyone's standards.... but, if you want to work on cool anime, there's not much choice.)

...Each month at Pierrot I earn about $1000. ...... each month at my previous "slave-labor" studio, I earned about $300 a month...

quote:

Thurlow says the anime industry is "a particularly harsh industry, even by Japanese standards." People, he explains, are overworked to the point that they vomit, and crunch time is brutal. The less-busy periods are six-day work weeks, ten hours a day.

But, as he tells Buzzfeed, "When I was working as an animator in New York I could afford an apartment, buy stuff, and had time to 'live a life.'" But creatively, he was not happy with what he was working on. "Now everything about my life is utterly horrible, however the artist in me is completely satisfied."


So pretty much you want to move up from inbetweener, to key frame animator were the pay is better. Some can eventually get the Freelance job or chief animator jobs which are the best paying. But you have to go through hell first.

I understood that animators are not paid well, but... There's a difference between bad pay and "literally would make more part time at a gas station". That's pretty awful.

As the Shriobako chart shows the Part Timer makes almost double what the animator does on average.

where the red fern gropes posted:

i like how he spends a huge amount of money on an outside trip and then just fucks around picking lint out of his socks until it's time to go home

It's actually not as much money as you would think. The Underground Currency is like worth 10% of a Yen. So it's like 500 bucks. So quite a bit yes, but Ohtuski has heavily gamed the system and is in no danger of running out of money. (Until Kaiji exposes him.)

don't diss Otsuki, he's a hella popular character in Japan

Also he was from the Cee-lo arc, not the Bog arc.


Otsuki is interesting namely in that he is a debtor like Kaiji, but managed to turn his debt into an opportunity. Because of how he has risen in rank and gamed the system he is in, he makes more money then the average person. He could have easily cleared his debts by now, but has turned his debt into a well paying job.

Right before Kaiji beat him, he had been planning on going on a Hawaiian vacation for a few days.
