Seriously, I've read about the things Japanese animators/illustrators go through and it sounds like hell on Earth. Japan is entirely populated by workaholics, but animators take it up to 11.

I get the impression that it's like disney parks and radio where there's enough nerds that will do it because they think it's cool that the boss can get away with whatever because there's a line of people waiting to get in.

Japanese companies expect their employees to give their heart and soul and lives to their jobs, but traditionally there used to be a flip side -- the company would take care of your needs like an elder in the family: they mapped out your career prospects, job security is entirely guaranteed barring you committing crime or fraud, and even your own family members are taken care of. This is perhaps the reason Japanese workers aren't keen to unionize. But in these days, especially since the economy went south in the 90s, the tradition is being replaced by Western-style market efficiency. Japanese management has become as faceless as the West, the workers as disposable -- and they have to work twice as hard. Truly the worst of both worlds.

^Indeed, and they're overburdened paying for the last generation's pensions. It's the same in Europe, whereas companies used to have perks comparable to their Japanese counterparts, and now there aren't enough current workers to compensate.
Market efficiency was strictly American. I read a book a long time ago co-authored by one of Sony's founders at the height of the bubble economy, and he criticized America's way of doing business to please shareholders only for short-term maximum profit. Everything has gone to shit.

Animators are not expendable. There are less and less people in Japan interested in becoming animators, and instead want to be voice actors. Animation studios are becoming increasingly understaffed. To say "Oh, they can just get someone else," is unfair.

Should've done like Toei.
Now those guys are smart. Once you have a license that sells on name alone, you can cut all the corners you want and take it easy. People will watch it anyway.

In all seriousness, man it's really shitty to hear so many cases of "death by being overworked" lately.
What a way to go. Work hard (whether it's something you choose to do or are forced by your job to do), die trying. Meanwhile there are lolcows on this forum that don't do much of anything, and it's a mystery how they're even still around against all the odds.

Why didn't he use a shadow clone jutsu to double the man hours?

No, because animation isn't regulated by the government as a public good, contrary to what streamers and people who bitch about YouTube deleting their retarded Naruto AMVs believe.
