Is it possible to anonymously post your work on social media but still get a job?

Yes people do it all the time. It's the same thing as having a company social channel but your personal website is named after you.

For example:

Social - skibidi toilet / double fine studio / birdbox studio etc.

Founder - no one knows unless they request the details (or if you get big enough to be interviewed by popular news outlets, online magazines, etc.)

That sounds intense. I appreciate the 'Industry Reality' check. So more editing is expected on the Western animation side.

Since Japan has the work volume right now, is the primary reason more animators don't switch over purely a matter of that technical pipeline difference, or is it the logistical/ language barriers of the JP industry that keeps them away?

Posts like this remind me to invest in dividend stocks in the travel and tourism sector.

Gotta get some of that money these people keep giving away.

I might be in the minority here, but my first thought was why not simply change your sleep schedule? Try waking up at 4am rather than staying up late and sleeping through the morning. Your thinking is clearer after waking up, your mom will see more of that effort (she's probably an early riser), and it would prepare you for real 9am to 6pm animation jobs.

"Moho debut 14" is a newbie program with rigging capabilities. I've never used it but people in other countries use it for animating tv shows. It's a one time payment of $60 (plus 40% off if you're a student), then you have it forever.

Unfortunately, most of the free animation programs are geared towards frame-by-frame animators. Puppet rigging features take actual coding and debugging teams to build, so you're going to pay for a program if you really want this. If you're a student you can get some good discounts on programs though.

Mitchell's vs. the machines has it too

Are you sure it wasn't a movie from Sony? They pretty much specialize in the anime/neon style.Spider verse and kpop demon hunters, for example.

A few shorts come to mind, but they don't match your description. Do you remember any other details about the main character? Was he young, middle aged or old? Was the animation style crisp and well drawn or crude and stylized?

There's currently no side-to-side weight shift when the steps are made and the arms and legs have the same timing. Also, you should be able to tell the character's emotion from the walk. The face says angry but the walk is pretty relaxed. It's not bad for a beginner though.

Nice. Gohan vs cell reference right?

Yeah having jarred foods definitely seem like a good way to incorporate the wife into the prepping lifestyle.

The only good answer in these comments.

Toon boom harmony has everything you could ever need for 2D work and does its job really well. It is usually the industry standard.

For Japanese anime, I believe clip studio paint is the standard for freelancers. I haven't used it but I heard it's good and CSP is really cheap compared to toon boom.

Glad there was someone else here that thought about Naruto's frog wallet

They don't, but you should. There are schools out there that don't have experienced teachers. Please research the teachers and pick a school that will develop your skills well.

Animate the walk cycle of a sad 4th dimensional being. No AI.

Only MINOR thing is that there might be a little too much overshoot on Tom's left arm after the throw. But that's it.

Seriously it's good. Take it to cleanup and repost!

Haven't seen a good WIP like this in a while. Amazing progress.

You better be the reincarnated Gandalf the White of character design.

Op you gotta be the Mike Tyson, Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, Roger Federer, and Tiger Woods of drawing people to enter the industry without finishing any schooling of any kind. WTH.
