Spoiler:

It was Lady Phoenix, I think.

But, but her hair is gold. And it does not make sense to put her there. We just have to wait and see I guess.

Kuisha from what I recall has her hair tied with a ponytail

Could be Elzha, the past possessor of BG. As i recall, she made an appearence when Issei was on his way to Kyoto

Oh really? I can't seem to remember anything about her. It has been a while since I last read volume 10.

I forgot about Elzha. It could be her too like you said.

Yeah, I think Koneko might be the one that benefits the most from this new art style.

That explains litterally everything.

That hardly explains a shortage in one particular aspect of one particular industry when the phenomenon you're referencing pervades all employments in the country.

While the declining birthrate probably has something to do with it, it's far more likely just a case of lack of interest.

Then there are places like IMS that don't even bother to pay their employees...

Its not about fewer people are entering the industry.
FYI, there are a good numbers of freelance young animator inside and outside Japan, looking forward to contribute on anime, thanks to drawing technology made things simpler.

Its just, AFAIK:

1. Not all animation studios willing to hire them for more important projects because schedule reason and may lead to ineffective role coordination in case there's issue in midst of planned schedule (e.g. sudden change on broadcast) Made it hard for studio with tight schedule to hire them but for smaller project such as short animation for product commercial purpose.

2. Usually the new generation of freelance animator is looking forward to be hired by big studios, such as Sunrise, sometimes expecting to get paid higher than studio respective animators. This made smaller studio to be cautious to hire them for their big project; big studio surely can take it easy, then again they usually have more than enough resource to handle such big project.
