pretty sure the patreon doesnt even fund the main stuff

plus, the patreon is a drop of change in their bucket

They make $100k a year on Patreon

I can't imagine that's worth anything to them

thats like 2 people's annual salaries

Try 4, but ya, I guess that's something

If anything, it's free advertising for them

if animators are only getting $25k a year i'm surprised the industry is this big

That's disgusting

thats not sustainable

The second one I trust more

9k at least

This is what I had heard before

yea

25-30k would be my guess

sub 10 only working on 1 project a year

producers don't even get decent salaries

Mind you, tax in Japan is like 5%

oh

so they take most of this home

after tax i was still making more than this in graduate research

hourly

I mean, I make more than this too (thank God)

For the level of talent required though, it should probably be higher

who would of thought, the old two big normie animes aot and sao would be airing in the same season for once

the three

don't forget Index

index doesnt fit the same category

mediocre show that is extremely popular

I'm talking major normie animes people knew/know of- like if you asked someone what AoT was they might know, same with SAO, gateway drugs if you will

isn't that what index was 10 years ago?

doubt

maybe

but i have doubt

all three are/were normie gateway anime

i have doubt

based on testimony from people who were watching anime back when Index first premiered

ok i wont count it because those people are all adults now

Index was never a gateway anime in the West

But it'll be interesting to see whether SAO or AoT does better this season

I feel like both have dropped off a lot from their prime

Are you supposed to watch the other index ones before this one?

yes

Rip

sao will probably do better?

most people forgot about aot i think

i lost interest in AoT after last season

plus sao its the start of a new season
