In Japanese anime industry, most animators are freelancers and rewards are paid for each cut. Few people have a contract with the studio. Each year, over 200 anime titles are made. So the lack of animators is a big problem for all studios.
And there is no big difference in rewards depending on the title. (At least there is no difference to overturn the motivation of animators.) So animators often choose titles to be involved for reasons other than rewards.
There are many trends, but newer and seasonal titles are more preferred. Some titles can gather animators without doing anything, and some can't gather no matter how hard you try.
Unfortunately, I think the situation will not changes soon. The reason of "Why the number of anime titles increased rapidly" is obvious, but I want you to believe that the creative studios and the creators know what anime fans really want.
I fought together with dependable members in tonight's episode(^-^)/
I'm happy to have this day.
I wasted a half year due to illness. But now, I'm happy to be involved in this team again and to be able to concentrate on Vinland Saga. I'll give it my all. Thank you (^-^)/ #VINLAND_SAGA #vinlandsaga twitter.com/V_SAGA_ANIME/s…
今年の前半は体壊して超ポンコツでしたが、ようやく調子が戻ってきたので全力で頑張ります。またヴィンランド・サガに関われて嬉しいです! 皆様、今後ともよろしくお願いいたします(^-^)/ #VINLAND_SAGA #vinlandsaga #ヴィンランド・サガ #ヴィンランドサガ twitter.com/V_SAGA_ANIME/s…
アニメ作りは先に全体予算が決まっている場合がほとんどだから、クリエイターは予算内で実現可能な最大クオリティを目指すのが仕事。つまり買値が先に決まっている。 クリエイターが先にクオリティを決めてそれに見合った売値を決めるなら、それは買い手を探すことになる。 両者は全く別のビジネス。
Time goes by really fast( ̄▽ ̄;) This one year, our team had many problems to solve and we have made difficult decisions. But fortunately, the team composition is almost the same and we are motivated to concentrate on this season. #VINLAND_SAGA
Season 2 plays a very important role in Vinland Saga. So it is expected that enough number of episodes can be secured to depict emotions of characters carefuly.

It is certain that studios play a role in coordinating the environment for creative teams, but each and every staff member is much more important for the success. Gathering staff is largely due to the skills of Animation Producer and the studio does not necessarily affect.
しょーもない絵ばっかだな。何考えてたんだろ。 時間あったら何かちゃんとしたもの描きたいなぁ(^_^;) #VINLAND_FANART
Thank you for so many fanarts! I'm watching all of them, and extremely excited! It is really encouraging for me, because there were a lot of hard times before starting to make Season 2. There are still 2 days left and we are waiting for your application(^-^)/ #VINLAND_FANART twitter.com/V_SAGA_ANIME/s…
In Japanese anime industry, Production Assistant is a position called ”制作進行(Seisaku Shinko)” or "制作(Seisaku)". They contribute greatly to the title, while being swayed by creators... If you have a chance to know about their work, I’d be glad if you could support them.
TV stations or any other broadcasting services cannot determine the quality of the anime title. And creative studios are playing an important role in supporting creators, but even that is not the decisive factor in determining the quality of the episode.
If you came across a wonderful anime episode today, I think it's just because of fortunate encounters of creators and the unconditional passion of some creators.
I think no one needs to consider the creative situation when evaluating anime titles or episodes. I don't care about it either. I'm sharing information about the industry because I want people to know just “someone is there” and working for the title.
新たにアニメ業界に入る方たちに伝えておきたいのは、この業界は自分と同じような熱量を持つ人ばかりではないという事です。初めは戸惑うかもしれませんが、人は皆各々の理由でアニメ作りに取り組んでいます。大切なのは環境や他者に左右されず自分自身でモチベーションを保てるかどうかだと思います🌸
The day when the Viking Age is said to have begun is approaching. #VINLAND_SAGA twitter.com/mountful/statu…
