Animator Ogawa Ruihui cried on Twitter:
- The number of animators cannot keep up with the number and schedule of animations.
- graffiti-level animation man increased.
- The painting supervisor can’t go on, leave.
- The number of supervisors has plummeted.
- The graffiti animator became a supervisor (!!).
- The chief supervisor can’t go on, leave.
- The total number of supervisors has plummeted.
- The graffiti animator became the chief supervisor (!!!!!!).
- Because they have no experience, the original paintings that could have been used have to be revised badly and become graffiti.
- Usable animation people can’t do it anymore, farewell ← the animation world has now reached this point.
Ogawa hopes that someone can seriously consider this status quo. The animation world has already exceeded its ability limit

A number of industry groups such as the Japan Actors Guild issued a statement, hoping that performers who work freely, such as actors and voice actors, could also be the object of protection from work injury insurance
Japan has a laborer ’s disaster compensation insurance system. Workers who are regularly employed can receive compensation for medical expenses and lost time if they are injured at work or on their way to and from work. This insurance is cheaper than private commercial insurance, and the compensation is also more generous. However, performers such as actors are mostly freelance workers, and even if they are injured during recording or on stage, it is difficult to be protected by this system. This made many performers who were injured at work deeply trapped

The executive director of the Japanese Actors ’Union, voice actors Chishui Tongyang said at the press conference that when voice actors voiced the game, they might have to keep roaring and shouting, recording dozens of shouts. After recording, some people couldn’t restore their normal state for a week, and some people suffered vocal cord injuries and produced polyps
Moreover, even seiyuu, they now have to perform in various places, dance on stage, sing and dance, sell photo albums, and hold handshake meetings. The content of the event has expanded, which means that the possibility of encountering an accident has also increased
International Business Director of Japanese Actors ’Union, actor Morisaki め ぐ み also mentioned that actors were injured in action scenes such as play, and the phenomenon of vision loss due to spotlights
The Japanese Actors ’Union has long called for performers to pay insurance premiums and join the usual work-related injury insurance. However, only some troupes and other organizations have joined work injury insurance, and most performers have not benefited from this system. Even if the actual application for determination of work-related injury is considered “not a worker”, it is difficult to get compensation
In addition to the Japan Actors ’Union, the Japan Federation of Musicians also reported that“ someone has suffered from ear pain and hearing loss due to orchestral performance and recording. ” Industrial associations such as the Japan Belly Dance Federation, the Japan Magic Association, and the Luoyu Art Association also all agree with the proposal of the Japan Actors ’Union

The Asahi Shimbun report mentioned that although some TV stations will insure the actors, when the accident occurs, the insurance will be difficult to take effect because of “no contract”. Therefore, the actor had to buy commercial insurance at his own expense, or not to pay
In addition, even if compensation is obtained through negotiations with the TV station, the actors will be silent because they are blocked or afraid of being blocked, which makes the overall situation difficult for the outside world to know
