On Anime

While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.

This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.

On Technical Discussion

While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

What other modern white collar industries have seen such an immediate skill drain? If and when animation does make a comeback, there’s gonna be a long stretch of mediocre content because ex-employees have moved on.

Due to my industry, the first thing that comes to mind is like proper in-house system administration. Most of which has been moved to the cloud.

I imagine that impacts entry level jobs more than senior roles? Or is every level feeling the hurt?

[–] darakan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely impacts entry level more than senior. But senior is affected as well. I imagine it's similar in Animation as well.

Depends on the studio. My wife’s old company wiped out like 90% of people right across the board. Even 10 years of seniority couldn’t save her.
