So how male dominated is the Japanese animation and/or manga industry? I'm curious as it came up when I was having a conversation about the harem genre with a normie. Have there been studies on how safe for women to work animation studios are or expectations for female mangaka?
it's somewhat male dominated, but there are a decent number of female animators, key animators, storyboarders, writers, etc. The main thing is that female directors are very rare - I can only think of about 6 off the top of my head. It's getting better in recent years, partly led by Naoko Yamada, the director of K-On!, and a few others, but it's still rare for female creators to have leading roles in the production of anime, even if they're very present elsewhere. Look at KyoAni, for instance - they have something like a 30/70 male/female split, a ton of female episode directors, animators, etc, but of their recent series, most had male directors. Yamada's such a prestige director that she mostly does film, or works as a 'series planner' and lets someone else handle the nitty gritty of the directing even if she's constantly advising them.

That said, it isn't really worth looking at the content of the story or how it comes across and trying to base assumptions about creators' gender on that. Obviously the director's gender is going to have some impact on how they do things, but going 'drat, look at all these harem series... must be written by men!' or 'ah, a shoujo, must be written by a woman.' It's a pretty clumsy way of doing things.

As for animation studios, I've generally heard that they're a fairly safe environment for women. There have been some incidents and rumors, but most cases like that seem to involve the people responsible getting fired at the end of it. Naturally it's possible stuff gets swept under the rug, but people at an animation studio work such long hours that I can't imagine there even being much opportunity for that kind of thing. If we're talking pay, I have heard some rumblings about some studios underpaying female animators, but the fact that it's 'some studios' implies that the majority don't. Of course, the lack of female directors implies a certain difficulty of advancement, and pay in the Japanese animation industry is super low either way.
