Representatives of Japanese film and anime hope that the acting union SAG-AFTRA can inject their knowledge into a “crumbling” anime industry.Discussing the ailing anime industry, Full Frontal sat down with animation director Terumi Nishii (Jujutsu Kaisen, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable) and voice actor Ayano Fukumiya. Fukumiya represents NAFCA (Nippon Anime & Film Culture Association) and explained to Full Frontal why, despite NAFCA being an association of like-minded individuals, it is not a registered union. “Well, a lot of young people are afraid of fighting. But what we’re fighting for is our rights. So first, we need to educate people about history and collective action,” she said. “Because if we just start up a union right now, nobody will come. We mustn’t rush and skip the steps.””As things are today, it’s a time where a lot of people are afraid of fighting,” Fukumiya continued. She highlighted that it’s not just in Japan but globally that labor conditions are under strain. “Talking of overseas, we’re all feeling the impact of the Hollywood strikes. I wish SAG-AFTRA people would come to Japan and make speeches. There are still actors in Japan who don’t know about what’s been going on. We’re at that level, so first, we need to properly relay that kind of information.”Jujutsu Kaisen Anime Staff Calls Leakers “Shameless,” Animators Wrongly Accused
