I just finished the first few episode of Shirobako. I feel bad for animation studios now. Is Aoi supposed to make me fall for her?
>>119341419
>I feel bad for animation studios now.
why? The people in this show are all happy to be at their job, it's stressful yeah but they're doing what they love.
>>119341446
But dont they get paid shit? I guess that's just nippon.
>>119341446
>happy to be at their job
except nee-san

She's not an animator, she's an existential black hole
>>119341586
>when they say they are daijoubu but you know they are not daijoubu
>tfw you'll never dp Aoi with your bro tarou.
The really sad thing is that many of the characters went to college to get their skillset and they are still not making any money.
>>119341696
Fuck you. Tarou belongs to Yano.
>>119341739
Is college in Japan as expensive as it is here?
>>119341739
The kinds of colleges that train for that sort of work are usually 2-3 year diploma affairs, and the tuition is much lower than an academic university would be
>>119341739
I'd support Aoi as her husband so she has more to buy donuts.
>>119341739
I want to support Midori through college.
>>119341822
>The kinds of colleges that train for that sort of work are usually 2-3 year diploma affairs, and the tuition is much lower than an academic university would be
Tht is the same as america. The 'art institute" and 2 year computer animation colleges are cheap and offer low wage jobs.
>According to Salary.com, the average salary for an animator in the United States is US$55,000. According to the Arts Institute of California, the average starting salary for animators who graduate from that institute is US$31,000.
Still better than Japanese animators, but low by north American standards.
>>119341925
55k is higher than the GDP, so that's not a bad career to find yourself in, and 30k is certainly not bad for an entry-level position in a skill-based field.
The tricky part would be actually starting your career, because the demand is so abysmally low in the US, and dealing with the crushing depression of using your talents gained through years of training and passion just to dick around in flash for 9 hours a day.
>>119341419
Been off /a/ for a while. Is this PA Works' newest show? And more importantly, is it good?
>>119341739
ftfy
>>119342020
Pre-recession they various AI art colleges had over 80% employment rate for animators.
Coincidentally the AI websites only publish 2008 employment rates for graduates. It is probably a lot lower now but they keep that number a secret.
>>119342020
>because the demand is so abysmally low in the US
Ain't that the truth. Even for 3DCG, the only really prolific work you can get is in advertisements and shitty network babby cartoons. Maybe a brief stint on the newest Bayformers if you're lucky.
You will never never go play pool with them. ;_;
>>119342235
Any with cute chief animator chan?
>>119342116
Yes
Definitely, especially after the abomination that was Glasslip.
>>119342235
Honestly, I think that these gentlemen are more interesting than the females.
Maybe because most anime that I've seen have female-centric casts, so this anime is quite a change for me.
>>119342466
how bad was glasslip anyway? all i know is that /a/ reached a mutual consensus on it which says a lot.
>>119342615
It wasn't the worst thing ever, but it was just completely mediocre in every aspect and respect, an utter let down in every attribute that held any promise, and completely failed to deliver on anything that it built towards.
It dragged its feet for an entire cour with nothing, and by the time we reached the end, we realized that it was it. There was nothing more than that, the pointless nothing throughout was the entire sum and content of the show.
It wasn't bad so much that it was so utterly without anything positive that it actually makes you feel angry for having watched it. It was the animation equivalent to eating toiletpaper
>>119342584
>give the guys hardly any screentime
>most of that goes to Tarou and Director being faggots
>get rid of Ochiai and Honda without any mention of new male employees, just more cute girls
Endou's stuff was good though. I just hope we're not going to move even further from the somewhat balanced workplace for more cute girl shenanigans now that we've got highlights-chan and Ghibli-chan as well as retaining all the previous girls.
>>119342235
I'm really going to miss Honda.
Will Zuka ever get a good role?
>>119342828
Me too
Even though most of the other guys were more attractive he was somehow the most appealing
>>119342774
We're probably going to see fewer consistent male characters, but more one-off characters showing of f their positions in the industry.
I also don't doubt that Nabe P will get a lot more screentime and presence now. Honda's departure creates a space in the character dynamic, so we'll likely have a new male fill that.
>>119342857
Yes, and then she'll botch it.
>>119341586
She's a bank employee.
More and more coworkers around me are getting silently fired. I guess that's one thing to hope for when you're stuck looking for a job.
>>119342828
>>119342884
Honda will be back with cakes, he even said so himself.
A man has to make his dream come true himself.
>>119343175
Why is it that in every groupshot, Mii-chan is always touching another girl, and Zuka is always sequestered from the rest?
Aoi's sex with Tarou must be awkward.
>>119343522
She strikes me as the kind of woman who would intimidate and scare a guy like Tarou. Especially when you think of all the pent-up stress and frustration that she'd be releasing all at once in a ravish barrage of sexual aggression. She'd chew up a little guy like Tarou and spit him back out
After the first time, I don't think he'd want any morebut she wouldn't stop
>>119341419
they put all these cute girls in there to stop you from killing yourself because this shit is too depressing otherwise.
How can people be happy at their job? It literally drains your soul.
this show is made to make you feel bad and spend money on the industry
Cutest bako.
>>119341739
Goth-loli sama is a chief animator?
I thought she was just an entry-level intern. She looks young enough to be in high school.
>>119344194
It literally fucking says "chief animator" every time she shows up
>>119344220
And it wouldn't have been the big deal it was that she did the clean ups for Sugie if she was just some newbie.

>>119343690
Tarou doesn't really strike me as the kind of guy who would be intimidated by a girl his age, his interactions with Aoi feel pretty equal if only because of his obliviousness and I expect the sex would be like that too. He'd expect to be on top, probably think he's an amazing fuck for lasting more than five minutes, and ultimately leave her unsatisfied.
>>119344750
and thats when the fun begins
Shirobako: best reaction faces of 2014?
>>119344853
no thats chaika
>>119344853
i think that goes to nozaki-kun
>>119344881
>>119344916
why not both
>>119342857
It would be really great if she would descend into doing eroge and hentai work exclusively and ultimately go into JAVs, while all her friends make real proper careers and all she could do would be to despair about the path she chose, and then the Yakuza would finally sell her as a sex slave to some chinese businessman, making her disappear from her circle forever. But Shirobako is supposed to be a light-hearted show I guess, so one can only dream.
>>119344194
she's like 50
I want to ask goth loli out on a date in the typical jap fashion of bowing your entire torso with your eyes closed.

>>119341739
Is this accurate? How does the episode director survive on this salary? The people who earn less than him are all much younger and don't have to support a family.
>>119345509
Living in Japan is cheaper?
>>119345525
Musashino is still Tokyo (although kinda in the suburb).
Mi chan, please.
Nabe P's job seems awesome. I want to earn capital and work for my studio.
>>119341470
They have cheap korean brothels and police doesn't bother them while they sleep on the street after a night of heavy drinking.
I want to make Oi-chan happy

>Honda's departure creates a space in the character dynamic, so we'll likely have a new male fill that.
>implying it won't be Okitsu taking his place.
>>119345509
There's no money in the industry. This is a notorious fact. The few married ones that I'm aware of are married to other people in the industry, so they have double income, at least. In any case, they're not rich.

Anyone want to bully Ema? It's been a year since I've seen Ema bullied.
>>119347440
But you don't have to do anything when her very existence and life style bullies her.
>>119345828
Is she stupid btw? I thought it was common sense to start looking for new job before you quit your current job.
>>119347572
Yeah, Misa was hit in the head with a ricochet as a child during the break up of the USSR.
>>119347572
It is and even the other characters in the show said that she made a dumb move there. Quitting after less than a year makes it hard to recommend her too.
>>119343231
Mii-chan was confirmed dyke just from her wadrobe.
With fatty and kirito gone, based Tarou will finally have a harem he rightfully deserves.
>>119343175
The three best looking people in that picture are General Manager, Nabe-P, and Goth Loli-sama.
>>119347572
She's a cute grill. Realistically speaking you'll never run into real trouble in life, if you're a 7/10 or above, which all anime girls are by default. Just dispense some blowjobs here and there and you'll find someone who'll be willing to employ you.

Being a cockwhore isn't sustainable long-term though. You get maybe a decade at best.
