This should be aired in NatGeo

+Marcelo Aranibar NatGeo People, perhaps.

It is.

ジャム And here...you can see "wild" animators in their natural habitat...

kuku88 watch how the male animator rejects the real life girl in order to animate a 2d one

No use. They'd get up in their sleep and continue drawing with their eyes closed and snot bubbles protruding from their noses.

Kanan Garg yea and don’t they usually work on the weekends to?

Oi Josuke

Some don't even go home and sleep on their stations

That's so accurate!!

Its was a bit motivating to me

They seem exhausted but they're doing what they love, or do you prefer to do something you hate and being sad and mediocre in life

Good thing i love eating chips and watching stranger things

@@hiroparadise8152 Considering they get awfully low pay, just barely enough to help them scrape by, I would say they are doing pretty mediocre in life.

@@syedshakaibanwar2698 This is what you know about mediocre, and be bigger in life mean to have a lot of money? If you have money but don't do what you love you will try fulfill this lack with everything only buying things that you really don't want, be successful or mediocre is only a point of view, for someone in this world be successful is have a family or a peaceful life with some normal job etc. Only you decide what is this, like for "paradise break" be mediocre if I measure he comment is you don't realize your dreams. Ps: Sorry if my English is to bad and don't get me wrong I'm only putting my point of view

I wish i can donate for them. Even just a bit per day, i will do it.

+kami san - I wish they would setup patreons, that would be pretty cool.

@@lytzout1 Good News, they already hava a patreon: patreon.com/studioTRIGGER

It's absolutely not beautiful when deadlines are tight, trust me, i've worked this job before and quit, shitty pay and loads of work.

when you think aboyt it the pay shouldn't matter if your doing something you love

ShirukenMaster its worth it sure but the animators all look like socially awkward mentally damaged workers

ShirukenMaster but we take them for granted dont you think

+allthenamearestolen well if you're passionate enough like I am, it won't matter. But I get where you're coming from though lol

Have fun getting paid like shit for hard hard work

+ShirukenMaster Is it worth it? They get paid like shit, work most of their lives away, and rarely see their family. Sounds like they are busting their ass to make a company tons of money while getting very little back. If it's all about accomplishment they could just animate/draw in their free time. This way they'd still be creative, get to draw what they actually want, and not be a modern day slave. I love anime, but they need to treat the animators WAY better.

while it is still stressful, at least trigger treats their employees like humans and pay them living wages. They help their employees improve the skills they use and develop personal skills and give even the newest of employees the chance to shine

Yeah..

😭😭😭

They need rest and proper payment

Let's buy bluot rau

Yeah, I'm pretty sure them their don't sleep like more that 3 days

You are right

1 year... u aren't right

the second guy was me as a senior in my animation program a couple years ago. I felt for him so hard.

That's the funiest coment I've ever readed

I wonder how the voice acting department sounds....

@@padpachan Noisier than most, I imagine. They probably need extra sound dampening walls.

Doesn't look very awkward judging by this video

The hardest choices require the strongest wills

@@padpachan Oh, crap...

👏👏👏

Respect.

General Dix But its stressing out the staff so much. I see what you mean, but surely they can hire a few more people.

General Dix Kyoto animation is better.

At some point, someone else needs to start worrying about the well being of these animators cus they themselves won't. They're programmed to work to death. And with people like you only worried about output, anime as we know it might not last too long...

kyoto animation are all generic waifu generator and can't be as creative as they want to be

93hothead Kyoto animation produce high quality animation consistently without significant drops in animation the same cannot be same about other studios.

+KirbyRocks64 Yeh it is, a lot of anime is hand drawn

+KirbyRocks64 Wait... what did you think it was if it's not hand drawn? Do you just mean it' traditional as opposed to digital?

Little Witch Academia is a great anime because of all of the hard work and dedication they put into this!

3dcg is a very unfortunate and recent trend. animation--up until very recently--was almost entirely hand-drawn.

i really do not like it very much. i can always tell where traditional animation ends and CG begins--it's always a little glide-ey and a little stiff and constricted-feeling. i find myself missing the verve and emotion that hand-drawn art has.

I wanted to put him to bed, man looks like his on his last breathe.

That's all I think about when watching anime. It's impossible for me not to

They need to get paid more.

Lolitacon same, I think it has something to do with the way I've started to perceive things after trying to do animations and stuff

+Jonas h Lazy Animators are these people that use software like Toon Boom or Flash for do animations, look at OLM and pokemon sun and moon for example

Toon Boom or Flash can also be pretty time consuming assuming you put in the effort, Wakfu/Dofus was animated in Flash, even the movie. Not everyone is Canadian.

What I meant by "lazy animator" is an animator who's outputting low effort animations. Basically the people who've gotten into the animating business and just animate for the sake of money instead of passion. Maybe they used to have passion, but well with how the anime industry is currently, it's no surprise they've forgotten it. I mean you can see it when there's lack of movement (only mouth movement), missing objects (like an underwear on a person... that seriously happened), janky animation (some animes do it intentionally, but you can tell when it's just lazy animation), and more. Most of the time they just end up scrapping the animations and fixing it entirely for the bluray releases. So yes there is such a thing as a lazy animator. I myself had once wanted to become an animator. But after learning just how much time, effort, passion, and patience you needed to pull through animating. I kind of looked into other passions instead. So I can totally understand why lazy animators are lazy. I'd probably be one myself if I were them maybe. But yeah. I definitely wouldn't say I don't think there is such a thing as a "Lazy animator". If only that were the case, we'd have so many interestingly animated animes every season! But it's not. ;-;

Kuro Usagi it is not being lazy, it is being tired as hell/not having time/budget. When k animate for myself; I do sometime forget an element on a drawing/frame because animation is soooo long to do that sometime you brain is so tired that you dont see even the most ridiculous errors.

Kuro Usagi - I can tell you this right now, ain’t no animator ever gotten into the business for money, honey.

Asher Yin makes me feel great for waiting for the AOT 2

Asher Yin It is not actually by week. They made it 2 years or 1 year before the airing. If I'm wrong I'm sorry.

Mystiforic Ilano not true in most cases. there are many circumstances where they're down to the last hours of every​week to meet deadlines.

It takes more than a week. OPM season 2 has already been in production for several months, and its estimated a normal 12 episode season of a high quality animated takes about 8 months to do. Shizu, if producers decide to start the production near the release date, then they are gonna work until the very last minute in every detail, but that doesn't change that there are very very few shows that are actually made an episode a week. South Park does that, with very simple animation and mostly only 2 voice actors, but anime, especially anything that is not long-running, takes a lot of time to produce.

Obviously episodes aren't made in a week. Every episode takes several months to make

well this industry is overinflated with so many many competing companies and so many talented people, that at most of the time they almost have the same drawing styles. So of course, work has to be 1000% to be at the top of this industry, and pay goes 0.01%.

この動画で違法視聴やめてくれる人がいることを願う

@@royvillasin5287 Do you really think that's the reason? Because it isn't the overinflation, clearly there is a huge market for it, it's either the company isn't properly taking advantage of the market, or they are just exploiting the workers because they know they won't fight back.

ElijahPw when you feel there's nothing there, because you can't feel...

And apparently you've used a photo of an employee's eye for your icon.

and some people pirate it

The thing is most artist are not doing what they are doing to get paid a lot. Of course artist like money like any human does, but for us artist the thought that we created something, and someone out there enjoyed it , is enough to make us feel content .

@@ricklominguez168 reason also why they don't get paid a lot is competition from different animation studios, and competition from different artists. This industry is inflated with so much human resource, although it is inspiring to have this so many people willing to contribute, but as what i've said, there are too many people in this industry. Japanese people have to realize that and find their own niche in the job market where they can earn more and love what they are doing.

ikr

JuicyPorkChops Watching it again, I can't help but feel sad...watching those insanely appealing scenes haha...

ひどい作画にも、そのひとつの線を描くのには魂宿ってるんだな 手抜きをするような人はこの世界にはいない

Do you think things would be better if Trigger was owned by an American studio who would pay to have their shows and movies distributed in the states? I know SONY owns Funimation now

You have finally faced the reality of how the animation industry works. Now you have a glimpse of the reality to include in the pursuit of your dreams. Don't get me wrong, any jobs any kids dreamed of having will always have some kind of downsides. While some jobs will certainly let you be technically more well off than animating, in the end, the key answer lies on wether or not you consider animating to be the thing that makes you the most content in your life. After all, if you truly love to animate, something like this shouldn't discourage you to continue doing it. The fact that you can finally live a life of your passion should be enough, it's gonna have challenges, but all lives will always have challenges. No exceptions. And fyi, there will always be other studios that treat their employees better than some, as for workloads, that's an animator's life for you. Now the question is: 'Do you believe your love in animating will keep you going regardless?'

@@fyeruze1576 I don't like animating frame by frame but I do want to create my anime and for that I have to be part of this department so that I could understand the procedure but which occupation should I pick from this department apart from animating stuff??

Every anime requires you to animate and you gotta have to do it frame by frame. Relying on tweening will make your work feel unnatural

Cromer lel this is true but animation doesn’t need these grueling working conditions and inhumane schedules. Animating frame by frame isn’t the issue here at all no one is complaining about that aspect, the issue is low compensation and work schedules that hardly allow for any sleep or days off. The anime industry is notorious for how over worked and undervalued its workers are.

guitarlover1204 Literally paused 10 seconds after this part just to see if anybody was going to mention this exhausted guy.

Same, when I unpaused he "I don't even know what I'm talking anymore".

Wait..I was wrong, not only him. The whole studio should get a hairbrush and some fucking sleep, they look dead as hell

I scrolled down just to find this comment, meaning I agree.

I already gave up hairbrushes, and what is sleep anyway?

Reminds me of Aizawa

Yeah, i will support them too, i can't give much since i'm still high school student. But i will donate for them, but i just don't know how.

.......i can tell you its not. its stressfull as fuck to be 2 WEEKS behind schedule and rushing to meet the deadline.

Yeah but these guys filming the documentary showed up at the very end when everyone's behind schedule. These guys are all tired, but it's not always like this. If they had filmed the first two weeks, probably everyone would look happier and rested, but since everything piled up thanks to the director being perfectionist, they all look bummed out and over-worked. I work in movies and sometimes the schedules can be crazy.. but it's fun anyway. It's not like I'm gonna have a giant smile after not sleeping for 24 hours, doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. Starting a new project and then seeing the finished product are the fun parts, the hard work in between is just that, hard work, but the more you work the better you get at it, so it's also rewarding.

+tabundo001 Just like high school. at first, you have loads of motivation and you are really excited to learn new things, but at the end of the year you are studying for a math exam at 2 a.m. and questioning your sanity. my mind is currently a void filled with equations and formulas and tiredness. Wish me luck. ;-;

Michelle Mostovlanski and then you pass

i highly doubt its fun to be 2 weeks behind schedule, i think the fun part is when they are done and get to watch all their hard work and amazing effort come to life

Japan should do the work of creating a streaming service that is functional and modern like the pirate sites. You would at least make ad revenue and I would easily pay a subscription charge. The problem is now that anime is divvied up among content giants like Amazon and Netflix. Produce a package of convenience and great picture/quality, and you would see more money. It's also sad to think that if somebody created an actual patreon for animators, then studio heads would just cut their wages more. Japan as a country doesn't have enough respect or give enough entitlement to working people. They're in the top five economies of the world and yet they treat human beings like this. Eventually Japan has to stop what it's doing and look at itself and address changes to what it sees in the mirror. Seriously, they crave human misery, it seems like to me.

Because im a broke ass nigga 😢

I buy manga and poster at least and watch anime on Netflix some times

tracehazarrrrd I saw somewhere that current streaming sites actually just support the distributors and sites, not the actual studio and staff. Correct me if I’m wrong, but buying the DVDs/Blu-rays and official merch is the way go I think

I don't agree with your idea, if you do that you will contribute to this endless cycle of people who don't have a decent paid and life by giving the people in power more money.

No? It's absolutely sad. They destroy themselves to make something good and get shit pay and recognition for it. A bunch of people saying ''wow they're so hardworking'' means nothing when you're a soulless husk who does nothing but draw and draw all day. It's sad. Working as an artist shouldn't mean destroying yourself.

HassouTobi Doesnt help when most of them probably watch each episode on a illegal streaming site

Oh..um...well...y'see...

not really...

slayertakim1 i watch on Netflix

Did your art school actually show this?!

Animation in the west is typically easier tho

Be an disney animator...

@@kowyzky Good Idea

@@winrylust6947 eh but animation in the west is typically 3D so its pros and cons tbh

​@@MobuildToku true, but many of them are still underpaid and work grueling hours.

remember comarad ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH

BERSERK WAS AMAZING!

Story wise yeah but the animation is just horrible

Tru dat but hey its better then wat we can do at least appericate it cause they worked there asses off lol

Digital doesn't just mean 3d animation, you can draw in a digital animation too. I think most people would expect this rather then literally drawing by hand a la pencil and paper.

yea XD

Ha, what inspired this comment

Oh it''s just my way of remark on people who react to fact that their favorite animation is drawn with pencil and paper, not fancy digital tools.

Basically, it sucks to be an animator in Japan. You're overworked and you're paid like shit.

Lol, just like me :,^) I'll never forget how it felt to be a modern slave

Hyun Park "fancy digital tools." tweening and fbf digital are two different things, just so you guys know
