I could easily see it happening, especially with how comparatively cheap anime is to produce.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's cheap because the employees work for significantly less than they should be making.

[–] Unboxious@ani.social 10 points 1 month ago

Oh, of course. I'm not saying it's easy to produce, or that it should be cheap. From a corporate perspective it hardly matters why it's cheap though.

Considering how much work needs to be done to produce even a mid anime the difference is staggering.

Unfortunately, the people working in the animation studios are underpaid and overworked.

[–] hypertown@ani.social 1 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately. But I feel like even if you gave everyone a good pay the gap would still remain.
