Pros

Excellent working relations and flexible work balance. As an Illustrator and 2D Animator at Futaku, LLC, I worked on a range of projects spanning original IP development and promotional trailers for major anime franchises such as Naruto Shippuden, Castlevania, Captain Tsubasa, and Zom 100. My role involved creating illustration and animation assets used in trailer production, contributing to visual development, key frames, and final animation. I collaborated closely with creative teams to ensure each project aligned with established styles while meeting tight production timelines.

Cons

All negative reviews about the studio are inherently false and claims have been disproven by multiple entities, including the Texas workforce commission.

Doubtful "Studio"

Pros

Nothing applicable for this studio

Cons

There are so many inconsistencies, misleading information, lack of transparency, absence of leadership, unethical, and contradictory statements from this studio. 1. Unprofessionalism in every single aspect. 2. Lack of leadership and project management ran by the same person. 3. Lack of cultural fit. Having opinions about the performance of the studio might be silenced. 4. Lack of compensation if assets are not used for the project, so reading the contract meticulously before signing it might be helpful. (Honestly, apply to a different company). 5. Look out recent graduates, or artists lacking experience working for the industry. 6. Roles are not completely defined to the artists, no software provided or training. 7. Unprofessional last minute requests and cancelations. 8. Might showcase work from canceled projects to advertise the studio. 9. Project management might be chaotic and frustrating for artists. 10. Lack of communication. 11. More unprofessionalism... Every person working for the animation (or any) industry should be treated with respect, dignity, and professionalism but this studio lacks all mentioned above!!
