Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Voice actors' pay will make your blood boil

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is arguably one of the most successful anime films of 2021. While fans enjoyed the end product, there were a ton of problems that certain members of the team faced during the production. It is well-known among anime and manga community members that people working in this industry are overworked and not fairly compensated. The English voice actor who brought Rika Orimoto to life has faced similar problems in Jujutsu Kaisen 0.One of her tweets mentioned that she was only given about 150 USD for voicing Rika Orimoto, and no residuals were paid. This was shocking, given that Jujutsu Kaisen 0 made about 196 Million USD. This is a clear reflection of the industry's abysmally low pay rates and the treatment of the cast and staff responsible for any production.Fans are left enraged as Jujutsu Kaisen 0 dub voice actor receives a measly 150 USD for her roleThe English dub voice actor who played Rika Orimoto's role, Anairis Quiñones, stated that she received only 150 USD and no residuals despite this movie's success.Anairis Quiñones 🔜 uwuCon@anairis_qI was paid $150 total.

They stated that Fullmetal Alchemist only paid them 35 USD when the English dub was made, showcasing how low the rates are for English dub voice actors. Marin M.

Two episodes a week at $250 an episode is $500 a week before taxes. Each episode can take up to 8 hours to translate and QC -- tack on more time if you're also timing subtitles.9617...working in anime doesn't pay your bills. Two episodes a week at $250 an episode is $500 a week before taxes. Each episode can take up to 8 hours to translate and QC -- tack on more time if you're also timing subtitles.Translation is one of the most critical aspects of the series since a change can alter the viewer's overall experience. If the translator cannot retain the show's meaning and essence, it could be poorly received. Despite the task's sensitivity, translators are only paid 240 USD per episode. In this thread, she explains why she was laid off from Funimation and why it's also hard to work in the industry as a freelancer.Fans hope that Jujutsu Kaisen 0 would serve as an example for the entire community and that the cast and staff members are fairly compensated for their work.
