Comment on An American Animator in Japan by Junior

yes, thats my views exactly. I would love to create an anime right here in America that would be so epic that it would become the bridge that unify America and Japan, that in fact the Japanese animators will go forth to join American studios.
I strongly believe, in all modesty of course, that my manga could accomplish this, if given the chance, and God given ability.

Erica,

Justin actually is working in LA now last I checked on him, I think at Softimage. Over all I was definitely one who really wanted to go over there myself, however I have since realized that I would rather see what is done in Japan happen here and see how I can contribute to the US animation community. I think that learning another language is great but I also feel that the time could be better utilized in becoming a better artist. Rather than defining anime as something from Japan maybe think about making anime that comes from you.

I think it is so cool that Justin is successful over there. After reading this, this really makes me interest in certaining going overseas as an animator. I might, but I’m not sure yet. I really just want to see how my life will be like living there. I’m really fond of Japanese animation and I’ll actually like to work over there. I’m even more interest in the part that they are looking for foreigners. I’m still in high school, but I’m going to college soon so I still have alot of time to think about it. Therefore in the mean time I can start learning Japanese, learning more about Japan culture, and working more on my artwork. So I’m so happy that you post this it and that I had the change to read this. This article made me think about other choices I have in becoming an animator. Thanks alot.

I just wanted to thank you so much for posting that piece about foreign animators in Japan. I have wanted to live and animate in Japan for a very long time, and I even studied abroad there for a month. I’m currently in my first year of college, but I have been wondering where I would begin to ensure I have good qualifications to get an animation job in Japan. I’m thinking about taking a year to study the language there at Temple University. I also tried looking for animation schools there, but you’ve cleared up why I can’t find any. I’ve been getting very disheartened about the whole thing because I have no one I can really talk to that could advise me on what to do, and anyone I talk to says it’s an impossible dream (or at least a very rare occurence.) What you wrote brought my spirits up though, so thank you. I definately never thought of giving up! Even if it’s a hard and difficult aspiration. I was going to try and finish college in Japan and work right out of college, but now I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do that. Anyway, if you have any advice as to what I should do please share it with me. I’m sorry this is so long.

Boston should shut the hell up and let it be uncensored.
Its just the middle finger and it has a meaning that kids will learn eventually.
so just stick ‘em up and wave to the cops at Boston.

i am a very fan of spirited away……. actually i also want to be an animator in japan.
i hope so… but i don’t know how…. i have already made 7 stories of my own… the prob lem is that i don’t have any idea on how to show it to many people.
only a few have heard my stories and almost all of them admired and congratulated me…
how i wish justin leach could also hear it…
i’m so admired of making stories with the endings of despair….
hope you could grant my wish, . justin
