Remarks of Former President of MadHouse Studios Enrage Directors and Animators
Anime director Nishikiori Hiroshi tweeted that it's quite irresponsible to encourage young people to enter the anime industry before acquiring skills. He said those people will end up being kicked out of the industry.
Anime director Sato Tatsuo said that Masuda's opinion disturbed him because he learned many techniques for anime direction when he was working on the in-between animations.
Anime director Mizushima Seiji tweeted that Masuda's contempt for in-between animation is disgusting.
Animator Nishida Asako said Masuda doesn't know anything about the anime industry even though he once was the representative director of Madhouse.
Masuda was the representative director of Madhouse Studios from 2000-2005. He is one of the high executives of The Association of Japanese Animations and teaches anime business at the Graduate School of Film Producing.

Based on what I've read, In - Between animation is what actually differentiates an anime from a slideshow. No In- Between animators = one long slideshow presentation. Static. Non-Fluid. Boring.
What a troll.
"If you want to work in the anime industry, just jump in a studio without wondering. Even if you don't have skills, you can decide your future plan after entering the anime industry."
I don't understand why people are letting this statement go. He's basically saying its okay for anybody to jump in the anime business cold turkey, without any previous knowledge beforehand. I want to work with programming someday, but should I, who know only basic Helloworld java, be allowed to go in? The proper answer is HELL no. r u kidding me? I'll make the business go down to shit because ill drag everybody down.
The first statement can be view differently based on perspective. My assumption is to do not fear the anime industry and gain experience. Its better to try than to simply do nothing and wonder. I do believe you need skill but its nothing without real experience. Its not a bad statement.

But yes you are correct. Telling people to head into the industry basically naked and without skills is just completely nocive to the industry. Of course the small jobs you'll get at the start serve to ease you into the actual job and train you, but you can't just jump into a company and expect them to deal with your messes because you knew shit beforehand. He's basically proposing to have a bunch of shitty animators. As if we didn't had enough shows with substandard animation.

Making people do work + not paying them = not how the business works. Don't give me that shit. Back up your claims or don't waste your time making them.

Madhouse is the oly studio thats got a link to the golden age stil alive Sunrise owned by namco so no Tastunoko not made any thing of note in yaers
Toei is mulit media thing so not counting them
sp madhouse is the old lion of the pride
How is this relevant at all to his comments? Being around for a long time somehow gives you free reign to treat your employees like slave labor?
I don't think so.
oyu have no idea how the bis works

Without the in-between animation there would be no animation...
/Joke
But yeah, even if it's just a stepping stone, the job still needs to be paid, as many hours of work to tight deadlines go into the process. Do you think that junior software developers would get into programming as a career if the first step was unpaid, even if they only do relatively simple functions to start with? I don't think so.

I don't know a thing about animation, but in-between animation is a work right? Something that must be done with knowledge, and time must be spent on it. Then if someone does it, he should be paid for it.
I interpret the first remark as don't be afraid to try out new things that interest you, but this was a horrible way of putting it.

... and clearly he doesn't realize this simple statement.
