Well consider this- if they had been good with schoolwork, they would not have went into the anime industry.
Expect low, very low pay.
Actually, if I remember correctly, Shuffle has some scene complaining about the poor treatment animators get (in Engrish, noticed by me
). Kagihime also has some scenes with engrish complaining about studio "selling out" (noticed by NoSanninwa).
But then again, most of the work has been outsourced to Korea- coloring, movement, etc. Only the fundamental sketches/scenes are done in Japan.
If you can read Kanji, try to read the ed credit. You will see many three letters names with
really complex looking letters. Korean names are in traditional chinese.
Also, computer coloring has been the mainstream for the past few years. This saves a lot of money at the expense of monotonic coloring. Animators are expected to know how to use the coloring programs.
Green Green had a prologue showing the production of an anime episode, if you are interested.
Happiness? I don't know...what do you think?
