That’s why there’s so many obscure and often times worrying anime titles, not because that’s some thing that is appreciated by the people as a whole, but because people somewhere in Japan appreciate it, and it’s not the right for other people outside of that niche to judge it.

That's because that's more of the publisher's job to publish their works outside of Japan not a studio. Anime is domestic first and foremost and a studio's job is to make it so that they get to adapt the source in a way that's satisfying to the domestic base, hence why you get anime that most of Japan likes (isekai, moe, idols etc...) than what the international audience wants. Then that stuff get's handed over to TV broadcasters and publishers both domestic and abroad. So it's not really in their scope of work, and that most workers speak only Japanese so they only interact with them either for recruitment from the studio or via their pixiv / twitter pages for general fanart.

I truly hope you are right but with a google search I found the median per year is about 1,478.62€. (Sticking to your currency) Obviously it's hard to get an exact price as it's a big industry and animators are usually paid per page. The first article that pops up in a google search is Kotaku from 2017 entitled, "Make Anime in Japan, Get a Shitty salary. " A youtuber I enjoy called the canipa effect talks about wages in his video, "The NPO Animator Supporters Project And Aiding The Industry. " Also talks about how under paid they are. This underpaying started with Osamu Tezuka resorting to it so he could get Astro boy off the ground and compete with American cartoons in Japan. Unfortunately the Japanese have a very humbly mindset and many have stuck to the tradition of not paying well as they felt that if Tezuka was only worth X amount they were less. I apologize for such the long response but I once was passionate for Animating and it's history.

It seemed strangely funny to me how he reacted to the notion of having oversea fans, Cloverworks being one of the more recognizable studio names over here

[@MaxIronsThird]

not really, Cloverworks is a pretty new studio, that usually works under the bigger A-1 Pictures.

[@quackinator1609]

Never heard of them. I looked them up and they've barely been around for 2 years so I really doubt they're very recognizable here in the U.S. (yet). The only anime I've seen from them is The Promised Neverland.

[@slackjawedpenguin3306]

the only big studios that I know recognize is just ufotable and gainax.

[@MaxIronsThird]

@@slackjawedpenguin3306 Gainax doesn't even exist anymore. Now there is TRIGGER, Khara and the skeleton of Gainax in Gaina.

Always loved to see the behind the scenes of anime and how it’s made, thanks for the opportunity to see them up close in a sense
