Description

Mizusaki says in the episode that, "To me, living means simply making one of these [works of animation] after another. And there's just nothing I can do about that." Relating this quote to my own thoughts on fansubbing would be the most pretentious thing ever, so I'll leave it to your imagination, but suffice it to say that I get as much meaning out of my creative efforts as Mizusaki seems to. Localization has such shit wages because it's inherently satisfying and interesting, so a lot of qualified people want to do it, and the only fair way to decide who gets to do it is self-selection via poor pay.

Localization has such shit wages because it’s inherently satisfying and interesting, so a lot of qualified people want to do it, and the only fair way to decide who gets to do it is self-selection via poor pay.

Unfortunate, but seems to be true. Would be lovely to wish for unionization for fairer wages for all those working in the field, but then, if the rest of the anime industry can't even get that much yet, people working in localization achieving such seems like a utopian pipe dream. Oh well, can only wish for things to get better someday, or at least for conditions to arise where such a thing could even be remotely thinkable.

It's the same for the anime industry itself. It has such laughable pay/effort ratio pretty much throughout that nobody involved ever makes it big unless they receive part of the royalties pie. Not that piracy explicitly helps it, either. The whole situation is just an enthusiasm sinkhole where creators are wrung dry for their expertise.
