Anime is a lot of work.

"Hoshi no Koe" was made by a single person, his wife, and his Power Mac. It's 24 minutes long. It took seven months of work- not NEET quality 'work' either, full working days and probably overtime.

I doubt you'll be able to convince anyone to work under you without paying them a salary or at least pulling your own weight. Don't count on that.

The game angle is more likely. A lot of people have made great games entirely by themselves. However, it's still a lot of work and won't neccessarily bring in the cash you need. If you're truly dedicated to the hikki ideal, you'd be better off staying afloat with something guaranteed-payoff, instant-reward- such things are usually unsatisfying, yes, but that's the sacrifice you make.
