For a typical TV anime series, an animator makes ¥200 by drawing ONE picture.
If one draws 300 pictures per month, his monthly salary is only: 300 drawings × ¥200 = ¥60,000.
However, drawing 300 sketches is a really challenging task for a new animator.

Another problem new animators suffer is that most anime studios are located in Tokyo. New animators who move to Tokyo have to pay expensive housing rents while living with a very limited income.

The project provides minimum safety net for underpaid animators, which we support through running a dormitory with a monthly rent of $270 per person.

The Animator Supporters have tackled these problems in many ways, such as: providing housing support, giving technical support, bringing new animators a place to interact with skilled animators, and finding well-paying projects.

In order to change the current situation, we have set our next goal to making a new anime production system were profits made by the sales of anime are directly returned to animators.

Production committees are necessary in avoiding large debts, but simultaneously, they bring some issues. Anime studios work in debt so they cannot pay enough salaries for animators, and animators have to live in poverty.

What do we mean by "Technical Support”?
Boarders of the Animator Dormitory can participate in (for free):
■ a monthly drawing class in which skilled animators teach boarders animation techniques
■ a monthly sketching session.
