　recruitment test Ｑ I'm in my 4th year at university, but should I go back to a vocational school to become an animator? Ａ Don't waste your life and money. If you're a high school student, you can do that, but if you're a college graduate, it's useless. Take as many animation company exams as you can. I think I will get it somewhere. Ｑ What if I didn't pass... (No Д`)? Ａ It is impossible for someone who has been drawing until the age of 21 to fail all the company exams. Anime company exams are almost OK as long as you have drawing skills. Ah, but if you only target companies that are too popular...they might be wiped out...(^-^; A: If all the major companies are wiped out, I'll try small companies as well.Basically, about 30 companies will be accepted. Let's go job hunting with intention.  

 *Advice: We want university graduates to become animators at this point, so don't just look for popular companies, keep taking recruitment tests until you find a company that will accept you. It is a waste of time to go to a vocational school after graduating from university. If you have that kind of money, let's use it for living expenses after becoming an animator.

Ｑ After all, is it better to go to an anime vocational school? Ａ No, you don't need to. In terms of whether it is necessary or not, there is absolutely no need to leave a vocational school. You can think of a vocational school as a preparatory school or something like a job information center, so I think it's best to use it that way after graduating from high school. High school graduates can also take the animator recruitment exam before going to a vocational school and enter the site as it is, but it will save time and money, but if you are worried about working in Tokyo suddenly, such as someone from a rural area A good idea is to go to school. For details, please read " How to become an animator " (´∀`)

Ｑ It says that you can't apply unless you've graduated from a vocational school or university's animation department. Ａ Large companies usually don't have such meaningless conditions. This is because we are thinking of educating our employees properly from scratch. If you have talent, it doesn't matter what school you came from. In my experience, if a newcomer is properly taught from the beginning, there is no difference at all whether they graduated from an anime vocational school or the economics department of a general university. There was also a 19-year-old who overtook a vocational school graduate in just one week of training. To put it the other way around, companies that impose such conditions are companies that have no intention of properly educating themselves. Companies that don't want to spend manpower or money on education, or companies that can't afford to spend it.

 Ｑ  What is "digital drawing" for recruiting new animators? Can I apply for this and become an animator? Ａ It's usually the same as "recruiting new animators", so it's okay. The drawing department of the anime industry is now at a point of transition from analog drawing with pencils on paper to digital drawing with liquid crystal pen tablets . Around 2017, digital drawing began to increase, and now it is in a mixed state. For a newcomer who wants to become an animator, both are the same, so you can choose whichever company you want to join.  Ｑ  I've never touched a liquid tab (>_
