Do you have a source for this whole $2 an hour thing?

In between animator earns 2.65 a drawing, and it often takes longer for one per hour. Keep in mind that the dollar is relatively strong, but even A MCDONALDS EMPLOYEE makes 3x more per hour. Also most studios are relatively small.

It's not very hard to live in Japan, but that wage is fucking crazy low ... way too low. Isn't there a federal wage law in Japan or some shit?
SchoolDaysEX:
It is a little outdated but considering the average still hasn't changed, it is realistically 4 dollars an hour. I guess I quoted from a very extreme example. That is still half of minimum wage though.
While I checked out the average wage, I found out that the average salary of a Russian doctor is equal to an animator.

Crazy old man yet some throw a hissy over it...
Forget the boobs.There were always boobs and there will always be anime about boobs....BOOOOOOBS!(sorry,got caught up in the boobs).
I don't know what he was trying to say but what I got is that the otakus that make the anime cannot draw as in bring to life characters that are relatable, realistic or at least believable.It's not only the fact that their uhm...face expressions?...are almost impossible for human to replicate but also their personalities and the way they socialize.
Hell Sailor Moon is a more well structured character than the main protagonist in a lot, a lot of modern anime.
The old ones even if they were made for kids were not made by kids .

Manga is read by the majority of the population too - I see at least as many bored salarymen reading manga on the subway as I do reading other books. Possibly more if anything."

Nope.Anime is considered something for kids in Japan too.If you're hanging alot around Akihabara maybe you don't see it.
Kids or perverts.The latest anime do not improve this image.Miyazaki did but he's a drop in the ocean.
There's also the fact that Japan is losing it's youth so in the future it's either going to be unwatchable moe-blob, boob-blob, w/e crap blob or pure gold.
