Anime technical director Taiki Nishimura reported on his Twitter account on Monday that his monthly income is 100,000 yen (about US$900) for each anime that he works on.
He said that he can live on 100,000 yen per month from anime work because he purchased his apartment and pays no rent.
Nishimura said that he receives about 230,000 yen (US$2,070) per anime, and each anime takes about two months to complete.
Nishimura said that he needs at least 150,000 yen (US$1,350) to 200,000 yen (US$1,800) in income per month.
