But not surprisingly, the job that holds the number one money-making spot in the anime industry is top-ranked voice actors, who can earn $666,000 a year.
This doesn’t mean that North American voice actors make around the same amount of money, as the anime industry in Japan generally provides a lot more ways to voice your character, like drama CDs, where voice actors essentially perform and record radio plays.
This number, along with a few others, was pieced together thanks to some public tax records.
Ranging from $21,000 to $24,000 a year, production assistants, computer graphic animators and episode directors are the next highest.
