>>135607779
He can draw, they just aren't using him right.
>>135607779
He works on Kodomo anime(we saw his drawings), his style just doesn't work for moe and otaku pandering garbage.
Why won't he give in to the otaku hivemind
>>135607751
So is Oi-chan a virgin or not? I'm not a purityfag really but she seems so career obsessed that this scene seemed really out of place.
He won't draw moe anime but ironically he is a moe anime man himself.

Let's cut out the middleman and get straight to the suffering.
Did y'all fellers watch the specials? Exodus and 3rd Girls Fighter Wing?
I wish I had seen the respective episode before each cour to get some idea what these shows they were producing were like.
It's funny the mangaka-sensei dude was rambling about the integrity of his psychological self-exploration when the show is pure fan service schlock. It's also scary to imagine guys like that may actually have that level of power over anime studios. Every series could end up like George Lucas with the Star Wars prequels where nobody could stop him.
>>135617303
Iguchihad second-best suffering after Zuka-chan.
Posting bestbackgroundgirl. Man, what a great wasted design.
>>135617330
Just like there is only one George Lucas, there aren't many mangaka that have that kind of power. Most are at the mercy of the editors.
And the problem was caused by the editor, not the mangaka who was totally willing to talk.
And that's the part where it became a little too unbelievable for me. Anime studios would never bow down to a lowly editor. As soon as they realized the editor wasn't working with them they would've gone straight to the publisher and demand a new guy.

No, they went to the chief editor when the project was already in disaster state. And chief editor brushed them off. Which made no sense, because the publisher got a lot of money riding on that project too, they would want to know if something is not working out.

I dunno about that. The issue is that ultimately the author calls the shots, but the editor acts as the intermediary between author and anime studio. When the intermediary is useless, you get problems. And it's not always (rarely? dunno) possible or practical to just go to the publisher and say "we don't like going through this guy, give us someone else to deal with". You have to do everything through the right channels, deal with the person in the position. Even if that person is a useless fuck.
"We won't deal with this guy" is more likely to get you the response "okay then, we won't do business with you" than it is "okay, here's someone different". It sucks, but that's the reality.
>>135617671
Yeah I found that bizarre too. The whole "unhelpful editor" thing seemed to be an extreme exaggeration of how frustrating it is to deal with a writer via proxy, and to get confusing instructions relayed second-hand from the original author. Those are things I could see being realistic. The whole "evil editor holding the keys to the kingdom and making the show fail" was pretty ridiculous.

Wasn't this editor based on a pretty unpopular real person who then tried to defend himself on twitter?
I recall reading something like that in the threads while it aired.
>>135617724
That's assuming he has "make this show fail" as his goal, which he doesn't. He just wants to put in the absolute minimum effort possible, and doesn't give a shit what that means for anyone else. And don't tell me people like that are unrealistic, because I've worked with people like that.
>>135617719
>"We won't deal with this guy" is more likely to get you the response "okay then, we won't do business with you" than it is "okay, here's someone different". It sucks, but that's the reality.
No. It's a project that the publisher also invested in. The publisher would like to know ASAP if there are potential disasters. Of course normally they would prefer the reports come from their own editor, but if the studio think the editor is becoming a huge problem it's also their duty to let the publisher know. And publisher would really want to carefully examine the situation, unlike in the anime the chief editor just basically told them "tough".
>>135617801
>Wasn't this editor based on a pretty unpopular real person who then tried to defend himself on twitter?
dunno, but i think the whole thing was parodying the thing that happened with shirokuma cafe
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-05-31/polar-bear-cafe-creator-comments-further-on-anime
>>135617801
Whether that character was actually based on anyone IRL was never confirmed. The rumor originated when that guy criticized the anime on the internet, which lead to fans speculating that maybe the editor character bothered that guy because it's hitting too close to home.
>>135609341
He said that because he doesn't want any alpha chads taking his waifu away
So if I work in an anime studio I will meet a lot of cakes and soon-to-be-cakes?
>>135617868
There's a couple of things to keep in mind. First is that the publisher was a bit dubious about the idea of letting MusAni adapt 3rd Aerial Girls Squad to begin with, given the studio's less than stellar past (ie Jiggly Jiggly Heaven). Second, especially given that, the editor-in-chief would tend to believe his own employee's account of events than someone from another company. It was only once the author told the editor-in-chief how useless the editor was being that he took any notice.
That the publisher is invested in the project isn't absolutely compelling above all other factors. Even if the anime were to fail, the publisher probably wouldn't come out at a loss on it. It succeeding would be more profitable and not having that would be worse than having that, but their primary concern is selling books, not scrutinising every detail of adaptations of all of their properties.
Does the way it played out still stretch plausibility at least a bit? Sure. But it is still plausible.

>>135618002
The best thing about Erika is that she's working at an anime studio, so she's most likely a hardcore otaku too. She'd be fine with all kinds of kinky cosplay sex.
>>135618214

Not all.
Kantoku was moe as fuck, even if he wasn't the most competent guy.
Honda was just generally competent and likable.

>>135618120
I don't understand what any of those have anything to do with what I said.
You are not thinking like a businessman. Any potential profit they failed to get is considered a loss, even if the project was a net gain at the end.
And it wasn't some trivial matter that the studio went to the chief editor for. It was a brewing disaster. They wouldn't just simply take the editor's words for it, the chief editor would at least try to talk to the mangaka first.

Well the average income is not as high as it is in the US or some other European countries.
Even so, that chart is not to be taken seriously. It's way too exaggerated, on both ends.
Animators do get shitty pays but not that low. That's probably for someone that's still in trial period. And the salary for "A-list" voice actors is way too high. There is probably only one seiyuu with that kind of income, namely Mizuki Nana, and she can make that much money because she's also a pop singer.
>>135618360
And you're assuming that every company is run by people who ruthlessly examine everything on the basis of maximising gain, and are absolutely competent at that. In all probability, the editor had his nose so far up the editor-in-chief's arse he could see out of his mouth, and people in charge do tend to listen to their yes-men who tell them everything's great rather than someone who's disagreeing and saying that things are about to go horribly wrong. This is especially prevalent in Japanese corporate culture.
>>135618361
Dayum, girl.
Is this drawn by one of the keyframers?
>>135618574
To the point that the chief editor doesn't even bother trying to talk to the mangaka? No.
>>135618652
Isn't that exactly what happened with Polarbear Café though?
It's definitely not normal, but it might happen.
>>135610319
HE'S ALREADY MARRIED GODDAMNIT
>>135618652
I don't believe it's that common for an editor-in-chief to go interviewing authors about matters like that every time someone complains about an editor. Even if the complaint is "this guy's making this project fall apart". (And for all we know, the editor-in-chief has plenty of other things/potential disasters on his mind.)
But in any case, in fiction a lot of things get exaggerated for comedic or dramatic effect. Did this get exaggerated a little too far? You think it did, I think it didn't. We may have to agree to disagree.
In almost every anime that has a DFC, there would be a running gag of how much that DFC is bothered by her lack of boobs. The absence of such gag in Shirobako actually made me wonder if Erika is confident about her own body.
>>135618842
Could be, and personally I like this. Every flat-chested girl having a complex about it does get a bit boring.
>>135608168
This. He brings money to the table even if Exodus sells poorly.
>>135618652
it's only a little unrealistic because the project was fairly big. cutting the author out of the loop seems a bit nonsensical.
shirokuma cafe wasn't that big. it probably wasn't that important to the publishers either.
also you have to realize that they are busy people. there may be other big or small projects they're doing at the same time. the chief editor can't look out for everything.

Someone, presto, send that mangaka a cowboy hat of her own. She earned it.
One of the only characters I liked left early for another animation studio, that was Ochiai, even if he was completely irrelevant he seemed like a cool character.
Erika and Ema are miracles of the universe but the others are quite annoying especially the Mc.
Honestly the MC should have been someone more "exhausted" or "aloof" like Ema or Ochiai.
I'm at the episode 11 I think and honestly it can be pretty boring.
