Over 60% of anime creatives suffer from physical or mental fatigue due to the pressure to produce shows.
17% of respondents have experienced mental illnesses like depression as a result of their work.
The current boom in the anime industry and increasing work demands may lead to unsustainable working conditions and harm to the industry's personnel.
