There used to be a bulletin posted outside of where I lived that was seeking foreign voice actors for cartoons/games within Japan. Granted, I don't know if they were looking for English or Japanese, but at least the jobs exist.

More to your point, however, topics like these are easy to pick at subjectively but really don't make that much sense if you think about it. First and foremost, a cartoonist would have to create an anime. Then they'd have to sit and wait for not only a foreigner who speaks perfect Japanese, and has a decent enough voice to voice act, but also even wants to do voice acting. That's a pretty tall order considering the relatively small number of foreigners in Japan (let alone those who speak fluent Japanese, have the voice ability, and want that kind of job).

It's not weird at all.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
