Is it possible to work on anime as a foreigner?

>>153174795
I don't know

you have to be a foreigner to work on anime. its all made by Gook troops

>>153174795
Why would you want to work for slave wages in a foreign country? Are you Indian or something?

>>153174795
-Bahi JD
-Se Jun Kim
-Michael Arias
-Thomas Romain
-Christophe Ferreira
-Cedric Herole

These are all animators that work on anime.
It's definitely possible.

>>153174795
You can try moving to Korea and become a QUALITY animator.

Yes.
With at least N4 jp proficiency certificate, great 2D portfolio and working experience in western animation companies.

Based Bahi JD made it. And so can you, anon.

>>153174795
If you're korean then yeah.
Anyway, why would you do that?
Terrible wages, terrible hours, oppressive workplace.

>>153174795
Maybe if you learn nip, have a degree, and work experience so you don't have to do the minimum wage, straight from high school shit

Money can't buy happiness.

low salary

>have a degree
Hiroyuki Okiura doesn't have a degree according to wikipedia.

>>153174971
You don't need a degree.
Even pixar hired people without degrees.

>>153175062
The degree makes it easier to be allowed to work in Japan, not to get a job specifically at an anime company.

>>153174795
Sure, if you're from a poor Asian country and want to continue your life of poverty in Japan.

First step is to be able to read and write fluent Japanese. These people literally cannot comprehend gaijins. Some do it out of pride and spite, even if they know English they won't help you.

>>153174894
Why do all their names sound like anime characters?

>>153174894
/thread
Anime is a business. If you're good enough to be an asset to a studio and can prove it, you can be hired.
You'll want to speak the language, though.

>>153175306

he's active
it's just his work not that good and relevant

Is it even worth it though? You will work 20 hours a day and will be paid 10 dollars a month.

>>153174795
nah

>>153176679
At the bottom rung yeah. Low level animators are easily replaceable because there's so many qualified people who want those jobs. The people working in the industry want to be there, being hired on by a major studio is worth it just for the credentials to their resume alone. The anime market is so crowded that without years of experience your chances of making it to key animator are nil. So they will take whatever work they can get. Many of them actually choose to work those ridiculous hours with no overtime pay just so the studio is incentivized to keep them on. And of course this puts pressure on the other low level animators, the ones who are fine working the hours they're actually paid for, because now they look lazy in comparison.

>>153174795
Why would you want to work on such a shitty industry with a terrible environment you wapanese trash?

>>153174795
You have to be Vietnamese

Would you want to? No.

The thing is that low level animators survive by living with their parents or the cheapest shit apartments available which are not options for foreigners, so actually making expenses add up requires some sort of dorm or bumbing it up.

>>153174795
Can we make this a Shirobako thread? There's nothing quite like that anime, I loved it. Ensemble anime are always good, and having it fixated on a group of girls in their twenties who have a career was a breath of fresh air.

Often true, though two things worth pointing out. First, it's not unusual for Japanese young adults to continue living with their parents until they get married. Second, many newbie animators and background artists are paid a flat rate that's low but not outrageously so until they gain enough skill to move to piecework, so not all newbies are making <500 yen per day

>>153174795
I miss Shirobako. Hopefully Sakura quest can deliver a similar experience.

What about writing an anime?
I want to make my own evangelion

>>153174795
Only for nips

You would legitimately be better off working at walmart. In fact you would probably be better off picking up cans.

>>153174795
Yeah, but I doubt it's worth it.

WMT was all written by foreigners. Schwarzesmarken was written with german help.

>>153174898
Just N4? Wow really??

>>153174795
There are a few I think. There was also HIMEKA who was a Canadian singer, but she had to leave Japan due to visa issues.

>>153175001
"I watched Shirobako and totally know how anime works."

You too can get your YA novels animated.

You would have better luck writing an LN, or getting in a manga anthology magazine.

Though you need some semblance of skill (for the later) and someone who can translate your home language to Japanese. You can even have a Japanese pseudonym so people don't discriminate on you being a gaijin.

>>153189238
>writing a LN
Nah, better write a WN instead.
Literally you can publish your work even if your writing is a mess. I heard you get money from that too.
Heck if your work is popular, you can get recruited by publisher.

If that hack Bahi can do it, anyone who can hold a pencil can.

>>153175001
It totally can

Lack of money also buys unhappiness

>>153192525
Small wonder then, that nothing gets animated.

>>153174795
yes.
