Hello, I'm here to make some research

[Karmillina]

Hello, I'm Angie. I'm 22 years old, from Mexico, and I'm a Graphic Design Student, barely starting my thesis project this week.

Basically, I'm here to make some research because I want to go to Japan and I want to be as prepared as I possibly can when the time comes, so yeah.

Well, one of my biggest hobbies is drawing and I'd love to become an animator or an Illustrator. Having been to Japan for a couple of weeks last year, I had a small taste of the culture (and of course, the food), and I'd really love to take a chance at studying there. I might sound a little weeabooish, given the fact that I love anime and I draw in this "style" (if you can call it that way) the most, but the truth is that I fell in love with the place and the culture and I'm just dying to go back, learn some more, and bring back that knowledge to my own country.

So.... please don't be too harsh on me. I don't bite!

Welcome to the forum! Good luck with your plans! Japan is not an easy place for foreigners to live, but if you're truly determined to be there, it's a great place to be.

I'm not expecting it to be easy, so I want to be as prepared as I can. Thank you very much!

Unfortunately it's impossible to get into the anime industry unless you speak fluent Japanese and major connections.
