Why is Ai so perfect? Best girl of the season by far.
She finished her sentence. We have to reach the anima to find the missing key frames and script.

I think you might be mistaking Ai for this girl instead.
>>122599985
He said ends up in, not IS in.
How the fuck did this moron who cant even speak actually get a job?

It would be funny if Ai lands a VA role before Zuka-chan.

Who's this sperm sperg?
>>122599985
Seriously fuck Aoi, how can she not use her connections to get her friend a job?
That scene in bar don't fucking count, sad Zuka said it's ok but it isn't!
Miyamori should later ask every fucking producer/director she know to give friend a job, without her knowing it. Even suck a dick if she must, that's what friendship is!
>tfw Zuka ends up as a failure
This is just like my real life.

Am I the only one that can't stand her? Her autism doesn't add anything to the series. She's only there to give Ema relevance as a caretaker/senpai. She'll manage to say one whole word in the last episode and everyone will go "Omedetou!". FUCK YOU!
>>122600147
But she already completed a sentence this last episode.

Why is she still here? Just to suffer?
>>122600147
I wouldn't mind were it not for the fact she gets way too much screen time.
Also too much apologist scenes on Hiraoka.
>>122600177
Sorry, Ai got NTRd by best girl.
>>122600108
Because sheknows Zuka isn't talented enough.Nobody wants to risk their own career to get somebody who might fuck up a job.

Ema.
Musani.

>>122600475
Just because /a/ has daily Japanese translation threads doesn't mean everyone here knows moon.
>>122600147
The show seems to expect her social anxiety and inability to communicate in the workplace to be seen as cute and not problematic but she's not cute at all and winds up being annoying most of the time.
...
>>122600675
She's not as bad as Tarou. Cut her some slack bro.
>>122600721
Tarou's incompetence actually causes problems that need to be resolved instead of always just being inconsequential comic relief.
>>122600789
I love how each person's personality actually makes the plot go.
>>122600789
I find it funny that the only person in the show who says that Tarou gets his work done promptly and well is Tarou himself. Everyone else still holds him up as the bad example. And we don't even know how well his episodes even turn out.
Catching up with the show and on Ep11. I'm not going to miss this show with /a/ like I did with Tari Tari.
Why does Miyamori always race that guy on route to Segawa's? Is Segawa a freelancer that works for any company? I'm asking because Endou always works at the studio and not at home like her. They're both Art Directors if I'm correct. I figured that maybe the other guy is from another animation studio Segawa animates for.
Segawa really has a nice pair Segawas on her.
>>122601209
That guy disappears for some reason in cour two, though, except for a cameo in last week's episode.
>>122601209
The way I understand it is that Segawa is more of a freelance animator for different studios and accepts jobs as animation supervisor sometimes, too. And her Segawas are pretty nice. Who wouldn't want to race to see those in action?
Remember when Ema used to be bullied, good times.
>>122601209
She races him for a parking spot and yes Segawa is a freelancer.
>>122600147
The entire show is an advertisement for women in the anime industry and all the problems they'll encounter. Ema had Imposter Syndrome this episode, Diesel encountered sexist accusations from Emo Kid a while back, and the Incredible Autist is a self-insert for women/girls who have zero confidence/social anxiety in male dominated environments. That's what she "adds" to the show.
You could argue this is a case of an agenda ruining the story if you want.
>>122600147
PA already pandered enough to moe suffering fags. Autistic moe fags needs some love too.
>>122601490
You're nuts.
>>122601490
You're right I think. For me, this shows is an advertisement to get more students on applying for slave labor animation jobs. They falsely make the SoL looks enjoyable to get them onboard.
>>122600108
>how can she not use her connections to get her friend a job?
Because she can't? She's a newbie production desk. She has little to no pull in the studio she works at, what makes you think she can affect the decisions in other studios?
>>122601696
At the same time trying to discourage aspiring seiyuu.
>>122601739
>She's a newbie production desk
>year and a half
>>122601696
I don't think it's that cynically motivated but it could certainly have the same result.
Have you noticed how they bully Zuka so much? I think it's because VA roles are the most contested so they're managing the expectations of anyone who'd choose to apply so they don't get disheartened too easily. That's also why they made Zuka stop Aoi from giving her a social leg up when she was in a meeting at the bar; they don't want VA's trying to social network they're way to the top.
>>122601780
It was her first show as production desk. Prior to that she was only a production assistant.
>>122601763
The show has cute girls as the main cast because otaku like cute girls.
Main cast face problems because what else this show would be about?
You're reading too much into it.
>>122601763
Yeah, that's because the girls have to be inoffensive and appealing for the male-dominated audience.
>>122599592
>>122601856
>The show has cute girls as the main cast because otaku like cute girls.
If that were the (sole) reason why the cast are all women and girls it wouldn't explain why the female cast is so incredibly well fleshed out relative to 95% of all other anime women. Every character in this show, male and female, has at least one other thing besides their role in the company (with the exception of Aoi). If you compare that with some other anime where the cast is mostly girls to appease the otaku you'd notice immediately how all of the girls in other shows are defined almost entirely around their appeal to the MC. They're shrine maidens, or twin tails, or exchange students, or maids; in Shirobako they're women talking late at night in a street bar about their future, they're living alone and calling their mother to tell them they don't have to worry about their finances anymore, etc.
I'm exaggerating when I call the show feminist propaganda but if you compare it to what's airing then it's not far from it.
>>122602126
A well written show doesn't automatically mean the writer had intentions for it to be a feminist tool .
>>122602126
>why the cast are all women and girls it wouldn't explain why the female cast is so incredibly well fleshed out relative to 95% of all other anime women.
For the most part, they're not. Even the main characters aren't very well fleshed out. I wouldn't exactly call Shirobako poorly written, but its character writing is one of its weak points.
>>122602204
Fair enough. It's just the stark contrast from it's context that makes it feel so intentional. But you're right, it could just as easily be the miracle appearance of a decent writer in the Anime industry. (not sarcasm)
>>122602267
Hmm, I don't agree with you there.
Let's say that a well written character is one that's realistic. They have a personality and they behave consistently with respect to that personality. They also have multiple, sometimes conflicting wishes.
If that's an acceptable definition then there are a few characters who are straight out. Tarou is unrealistically dense and stupid, the Director has no interests outside of his job and the thin producer character who's the liaison with the author doesn't do much besides mahjong. Also Daisuke is "rounded" but not "well rounded", by which I mean to say his story has been relatively ham-fisted in it's delivery. There are a few others but with a cast so large it seems unfair to focus on fringe characters with little screen time.
The rest of the characters do better. All of the other characters behave consistent to their personality and have an interest outside of work or a strong motivation that shapes their work. The main cast want to make an anime together, all of the high level talent that were recruited for Ariel Girls had their drive and even the Goth Loli animator had her backstory for why she dressed the way she did.
But I'm going to stop half-heartedly there because it's getting late and we're getting dangerously close to arguing over subject preferences. Have fun, anon.
There must be a reason for that scene in the OP with Zuka and sunshine. It probably means she will get her big break in voice acting soon. And not hentai/JAV either, but actual anime.
>>122603065
There's like what, 2 episodes left? It's going to feel like an asspull.
>>122603183

>>122603065
The director was already on the record saying they don't want make it look easy for Shizuka to get into the VA business.
They are probably worried about the mass number of people wanting to get into the VA industry.
>>122603331
>The director was already on the record saying they don't want make it look easy for Shizuka to get into the VA business.
Where'd he say that?
>>122603331
What kind of savage barbarian that even makes this image?
I bet I know what'll happen.
The next ep will have the original creator forcing them to put in a sequel hook featuring a new manga character. Musashino will look at the sales and get a sequel greenlit, and hire a proper established VA to voice the character, not Zuka. However that character will themselves have a subordinate that also needs to be established, and Zuka manages to land that role. It's an incredibly minor role and she has like one line, but it promises her a chance of voicing that character in S2 so it's basically her potential breakthrough in a few months.
Basically just enough rope to keep her fighting.

>No Tarou we are not planning an S2.
>>122600147
Completely agree, her whole personality was forced from day one and she isn't even cute to begin with. She's a pulsating lump of pointlessness on Shirobako's back.
>>122605364
She is the most sexual of the bako
>>122600878
Everyone considered episode 1 to be a success during the viewing party, and that's the one Tarou worked on.

didn't they learn anything from the anime they are subing?

No way that's an offical cover. There's a fucnkin condom on her mouth.
>>122606780
It's telling PA Works chose this for the Vol 3 BD cover instead of Ponkan8's first draft, which had Zuka normally clothed at an audition.
>>122606942
Apparently both of these middle aged women are based on actual PA Works employees.
They're shown on the BD-only tour of PA Works.

>>122606942
She's already old, and you know what happens to old mothers
>>122606951
Condoms are actually used in VA training sometimes. The idea is that practicing blowing one up as much as you can in one breath increases lung capacity, and that somehow makes your acting better. Nips are fucking weird.
>>122607097
So that condom is real? I can't imagine them getting good reactions from people for having a condom being held by their character.

Old post, but I don't see how what you're insinuating is a bad thing in any way. People hate western feminism for its focus on shitting on others while doing little to actually help anyone. If this show's trying to encourage girls, that's fine because it's not doing so by shitting on all men.
>>122615424
Why should they encourage girls to do anything else than breed for glorious Nippon?
Japan needs more kids, no more anime.
>>122607571
yes she finally got a job in last weeks episode. look forward to it.
>>122615587
You're an idiot. You need more kids because you need a workforce. If girls are entering the workforce, let them. You get a worker and put them in an environment they're more likely to meet a suitable husband in.
>>122615676

Yeah but then they'll have to work as well, this means it'll be tough to have kids and raise them.
>>122615926
But Ema, Aoi, and Micchan have all been doing well for themselves. It's only Zuka who's suffered. Perhaps it's because she was getting in the way of EmaxMi and Diesel didn't like that?
Fun fact: Back in high school, at first Shizuka was the only one serious about a career in anime and was already practicing every day to be a VA before Aoi even got it in her head to start an animation club.
>>122615976
It's almost like they would have money from working when they took maternity leave and that money would help raise the kids.
