Kingdom animation director Jun Arai says that it's not just the studios but also the anime fans who are to blame for animators suffering in silence.
Kingdom animation director Jun Arai has stated that passionate anime fans, not just production studios, are likewise causing animators to suffer from some of the deep-rooted problems in the industry.
In a post to X (formerly Twitter) on Jan. 2, 2024, Arai said, "The reason there haven't been more whistleblowing exposés by active anime industry animators isn't just fear of being shut out by that company - it's the fear of also being bashed by fans who love that company's works and being crushed in two ways. Famous or not, it doesn't matter. The anime consumer sphere is that warped and sick. When people are fanatically in love, mistakes like that happen."
