Well I think someone on Anipages said this (maybe not?) but the current industry is ran by too many people who are in their 40s and 50s. Very little opportunities are given to the younger generations.

Very rarely do you get to see stuff like Zeta Gundam OP (solo by Umetsu when he was 23/24), Obari's Dragonar (solo when he was 19/20) I mean, could you imagine it if Sunrise handed off all of the Valvrave intro to someone like Majiro, Rapparu, Desuran or Bahi JD? I'm sure they could create something amazing, but you'll never see something like that happen in this day and age.

I think it's one of the reasons why Young Animator Training/Anime Mirai was created because they specifically needed outlets for young animators to actually strut their talent and allow them to shine and grow.
