I just can't imagining surviving in a first world country only brining home $300 a month. Hell even the other job he talked about was only $5.74 on average if it was a 40 hour a day job (it's really 60). It only makes sense to me if its mostly a bunch of kids living at home trying to work for two years or so before becoming a freelance professional where they can earn a living pay.

It seems that there is a price to pay for a country to be able to produce so much animation.

Animators in Japan subsist on a diet of instant ramen and good wishes. It is 100% a passion thing for plenty of them and, as such, are terribly exploited. Same deal for manga assistants and the like.

And many are definitely not kids.

I still remember when SNK (the video game company) was hiring people to help with their sprites. Mind you, this was for a video game so the sprites have to be of much higher quality than your typical anime and yet the salary was lower than what you would get working at a convenience store. But you get to say you drew Terry Bogard!

In the pop team epic thread there is a link to an interview about the development of the show where they mention how expensive it was to get actual French voice actresses (this is not expensive by any actual means). Anime is real thrifty.

This all sounds terrible.

Well, that's because it is terrible. And as long as there is profit to be made on the upper levels it'll continue without many changes.

So gyoza is called chinese food in Japan? I've always thought of it as a specifically Japanese presentation but I guess the basis of the dish came from china.

They are called Jiaozi in China (giǎoze in some mandarin dialects) so you can see where the japanese name came from.

just that it's ugly. i am basing saying this off of attempts to get others into akagi/kaiji and having been told "it's ugly." and when i hear that it's like "yeah you kinda right" because come on. it's awkwardly, consistently angular. all spikes and sharp angles. that's part of what most is amazing about his earlier art, watching the 80s vibe melt and become what's so striking now. the gambling world a'int friend shaped and the art reflects that and that's cool,

and still ugly

Honestly? It ain't ugly. Eye of the beholder and all that poo poo. Ugly to me would be something like, dunno, Baki.
