Sometimes I wonder why we actually care about the animators so much, they really don't care much, if they would, they would do their own showreel, japanese animators are kind of different from americans. Americans are proud of their works, but the japanese ones are kind of just doing it because there is no other choice...well at most of the studios. I'm not talking about animators like Nishio or Ohira.

I wish people in japan would care more about their animators.
Animators are like slaves in japan....
