Thanks wao that was very informative. I think being located in Kyoto serves to weed out some competition so that they can actually charge higher for their services and hence maintain their quality. Also like you said with everything being in-house, and with training classes to boot. Generally when the animation studio fosters a unified culture, the artists tend to be loyal and have more incentive to do great work. If not, then they might as well be snatched by the next studio offering higher compensation package. However making artists in-house requires more investment than in keeping them on contractual basis. That's one of the issues my studio is currently tackling.

I'm pretty sure KyoAni will go mainstream one of these days...they probably need to rack up more DVD sales from fanboys before they can get the bigger sponsors.
