The crowdfunding project has received huge support to assist new talent, who start out in the industry on notoriously low wages.
A housing support project for young animators has reached its 1,500,000 yen (US$14,963) initial target goal for maintenance costs on Japanese crowdfunding site READYFOR, receiving 1,621,000 yen with 112 supporters and 51 days left on the campaign.
The special low-rent dormitories are designed to help new animators survive in high-rent areas of Tokyo, especially those who come to the city from rural hometowns to work.
