But if Japanese people work so much how do they even have time

They don't, that's why most anime is targetted at NEET otaku

But Japan has the lowest unemployment rate of any big country, how could the industry possibly finance itself off of these people?

NEET mooch off their parents who give them money to spend on shitty their anime and waifus.

Watching a couple of airing shows a night after work is nothing. In terms of TV viewing time per day Japan is right up there in the top 5 countries in the world.

how do they define their unemployment rate?

It's cheaper than having a wife/kids/dogs.

Japan spends just as much time as anywhere else watching TV. Average of over 3hrs per day. Being able to watch a few currently airing anime in that time is not a big deal.

This list makes me fucking sick. 20+ hours of fucking TV a week. I mean, Japan I can understand because they have hilarious TV shows, but places like Germany? Holy hell, what a waste of time.

If you classify all watching of video media as TV then I probably exceed 40hrs in a week I reckon. Although almost none of that is stuff is watching live TV ever and I don't really watch live action besides the odd documentary here and there.

Same way as the west. Working at least one hour a month.

I'm not /biz/ at all, but why is that the baseline?
