I’m just finishing up my first year in Japan so I see this and think I have time to back out, but man I don’t want to. I worked hard to get here. I want to make my life here. And I want to do that through legitimate routes in a way that is mutually beneficial to both myself…
I am literally the kind of immigrant Japan says they look for.
Went to college, speak English and Japanese, pay taxes, follow rules, white collar.
And even I’m getting pushed out.
Anyone who like me 15 years ago wanted to get in the anime industry here, I cannot recommend it.
