An anime insider has slammed the culture of discrimination in the industry, blasting Japan’s prejudice against animators subcontracted from China in a now-deleted X (formerly Twitter) thread.In the archived posts, the animator slammed an unnamed anime studio that he had been working for, adding that the studio in question had been “under fire for the last two years.” He revealed his astonishment at their amateur skill, concerned at how they kept hiring inexperienced people, and lamented how older animators are not/cannot pass down their skills to younger creators. He added that this incompetence was present at the main Japanese animation studio and not the subcontracted companies in China, and that the foreign studios “can do it better than the main contractors now.” He continued, “And when I’m making animation with Chinese people, I feel the industry’s disregard for Chinese people. I’ve never seen a Japanese animation that uses a Chinese director despite the fact that Japanese animation is supported by China. And there seems to be an underlying assumption that China shouldn’t be utilized unless it’s cheap.”He added that with the massive amounts of money flowing into anime, incompetence could sink an entire studio with just one mistake. His sentiment that older animators were not passing skills down to younger ones was echoed by Jujutsu Kaisen 0 chief animation director Terumi NIshii when she said that the anime industry would soon collapse. Nishii also chimed in on this recent discussion on Chinese animator treatment. She said on X, “The younger Chinese generation seems more humble and passionate about anime. With anime fans rising to management positions, there is a real desire to improve.” She also added that “Japan will likely lose out. China has the ambition to get better that is lacking in Japan, as well as the resources.” While Nishii raises concerns over government interference, she says that money often talks.
