learn english first retard

日本語
actually serious question, do jap game/animation studios ever hire foreigners as artists in-house if they speak japanese? or would they just hire someone freelance. my guess is the latter

It's useless. Everyone wants to speak English.

Knowing Japanese is a MUST if you want to work in their industry. Don't listen to ppl in this thread. Majority of them don't know English.

Learn French. Also, some photography, dancing and cooking. Girls like that shit. There's a lot of good literature as a bonus.

How would leaning chinese be useful in the west ? Even if you have a staff of 90 to 10 Asians, management is still always full of white guys.

French for that European cartoon industry, Jap for weeb dreams, Chinese maybe just for its booming development.

Those are really the only ones that matter alongside English.

I've spoken near to zero words of german in the last decade despite working with german guys every day. English. It's a double-edged sword: so many people speak english nowadays that it's both necessary and insufficient. Not speaking english would be retarded and close you doors, but speaking it impresses no one.
