There really is an animator shortage in anime. There's a popular blog with multiple articles on it: https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2022/08/05/the-layout-crisis-the-collapse-of-animes-traditional-immersion-and-the-attemps-to-build-it-anew/ https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2022/08/05/the-layout-crisis-th... Though simply paying more sounds like it would fix the issue.

They are suggesting the shortage exists because nobody is getting paid well enough to continue onwards or join in. These folks are also necessary to raise the next generation of animators.

  It's not just that, it's also that training opportunities have become rare.

    Expecting to hire employees that are 100% trained to do the specific vacancy on day 1 is why the market is shit right now.

Yeah the shortage is because the pay is shit and the companies don't want to have any training burden. Self-created shortage.

  I think plenty of companies would like to spend time training but aren't able to because the budget is too small. Still makes Sony reasonable for the shortage as you say.

    If your budget is too small for training its too small for running a business outside of 1 person.
