In recent years, there have been few reports on the meager salary of Japanese animation practitioners, and the unfair payoffs have also become a constraint on the development of the animation industry. In response, Tokyo Otaku Mode recently decided to use the virtual currency to resolve the crisis.
According to the idea, OTAKU COIN will have the payment function of ACG products such as animation, comics and games, so as to promote the circulation and development of the house culture and also have the functions of distributing and selling the surrounding goods. Appreciation of the work, the sharing of work and the commentary can be obtained when the corresponding house currency, the house can be used to support their favorite works and creators, or to participate in animation activities and the purchase of the surrounding.
Compared with the current crowdfunding campaign for animation practitioners, 'house money' not only eliminates obstacles such as exchange rates and payment barriers, but also enables the world's audience who like the same piece of work to jointly support the creation of this piece of work with the ultimate goal of Its development into a new currency, free circulation in the exclusive field of the animation industry, while the 'house money' can also avoid some of the outstanding works due to lack of funds to succeed in avoiding the stranded crisis.
According to Tokyo Otaku Mode's expectation, 'House Coin' is tentatively scheduled to be released from spring 2018 to summer 2018. Currently, the 'House Prepaid Committee', which is specially engaged in this issue, has been established and various industry professionals, enterprises and users With the relatively free 'house money', animators can also get money from the audience and may be a good idea for solving the current pay problem.
