In a recent anime industry report, about half the industry workers work over 225 monthly hours.

About half of people in the Japanese anime industry said they work over 225 hours per month, highlighting the long working hours compared with other fields, a recent survey by an industry association showed.

The number greatly surpasses the full-time workers' average of 163.5 hours in the health ministry's survey for 2023, according to the Nippon Anime & Film Culture Association.

This is simply not sustainable and we know for a long time the working conditions in the Japanese animation industry is just bad.

@chikorita157 Hasn’t it always been this way? I’m not saying I’m in favor of it (32h/4day work weeks now!), but I’m not even a tiny bit surprised.

A lot of the world’s workers work in bad conditions, works very long hours, and for very little money. :(
