Pros

After reading all these other reviews on this site, I would just end up repeating what the majority of them have already stated about this questionable "studio". So instead I'll just say this- To the people looking for animation work in Japan- stay away from this studio. No matter how much the boss will lie (in interviews, through the company's website, Facebook page, etc) and say there aren't, there ARE better animation studios in Japan- on ALL levels.

Cons

This company is well known in the Japanese animation community, studios and artists alike, for its deluded boss and his shady business practices towards clients and his own staff, its stressful working environment and sub-par projects. And unfortunately after working there you run the risk it's tainted reputation will end up following you around for life. This place will do nothing for your career, in fact I would go as far as to say it will most likely end up hindering it...

Pros

For juniors is a great way to start and learn from experienced people. Various good projects. Visa process really quick.

Cons

Stay away from this company unless you really need the money. Work some time and then quit. For all the foreigners applying, don't sign the ridiculous non compete clause, and don't accept the first offer, they will always try to make you work for the less money possible which on top of that is divided in "bonuses" that will make your actual salary even lower. Make sure your base salary is high enough, otherwise avoid.

Pros

There were few good projects.. but 20 words is too much for pros at toneplus I like the location... Sometimes free beers... And few good people but they go away already The studio is big and sometimes nice (look at cons). if I am beginner is good chance to work in Japan but I am not and no good quality animator to teach

Cons

The management is really bad... Like child and super authoritarian.. And there is a lot fired people now... Probably more to com! Pretty scary place for work Big studio but so many people, it's like dirty. Also, quality is not good because not skill people is hire
