How hard it is to be a junior artist for a foreigner ?

Hello, recently I've applied to some studios in Japan since it's the period for 新卒採用.
I got my entry sheet and rirekisyo ready and am currently waiting for answers. Some of which may take a month. I also have a Master Degree and I am registerd to Mynavi, Rikunabi if it helps.

My question is how unlikely am I to be recruited ? Or how reluctant are they to recruit a foreigner ? While some of them answered to my mails and gave me the opportunity to apply, I'm still getting some big doubts.

I didn't take the JLPT, which concerns me, but I am able to speak, read and write (formal mails included), most of it is self taught. Do I really need a JLPT certificate and would that take me out of the process instantly if I don't ?

Should I also only look for those that are based in Tokyo ? If yes how hard would it be if it were in a prefecture like Gifu or Saga ?

Edit : it's for the gaming and animation industries as an animator or 2d artist.
