Hello /a/ I just finished watching Shirobako today, It's a perfect 10/10 in my opinion and I'd love to discuss it...
>as an anime fan I loved its info about the industry.
>the stuff about artistic drive and commentary on changing styles ad practices were awesome
>Got super attached to all characters.
>Cried every other episode of joy.
>Director was super moe
>Miyamori-chan is new waifu
Discuss.

I'm going to marry Oi-chan!
>>142837927
where do you think you're going
>Liking the fat fuck director.
kill yourself my nakama
The girls should've been teens. Not cute at all.
should've been about teen girls in a high school club.
>>142838838
I agree, we really need more school setting anime.
>>142837927
>seasonal waifu
I can't blame you, though, she's a great character.
>>142837887
Overrated shit thay needed moeblobs to deliver its half-assed view of the anime industry.
Its been 2 years since shirobako aired and I thought I'd never get a chance to post based Tarou ever again
This is the greatest thing that could have happened to me today
Autism does not speak
Ema still is and forever will be smelly.
>>142837887
>>142838774
>get away faggots that BBM director is MY Husbando
>>142837887
i loved it too anon! The thing i enjoyed the most was the feeling that the staff working on it probably had alot of fun making this series, and the cute girls of course.
Just finished it as well. Oi-chan is best girl. Loved the concept and execution
Totally agree OP, Shirobako is the shit. This scene man.
>>142839065
>>142839022
>>142838892
>>142838710
I miss shirobako threads
I liked it because sometimes I feel exactly like Miyamori. Overworked, shitty coworkers, boss tries to be sympathetic but can't because deadlines are at stake.
>>142838937
Nice buzzwords
>>142838937
I think you forgot "forced drama" in this blob of memes you just vomited.
>>142839022
Tarou was top-tier bro material though I would hate to work with him
Which one would you hit on?
Reminder none of them are virgins
>>142839723
You mean which onewould you impregnate and take responsibility.
>>142839723
Rinko-sama. And I will ask her to teach how to draw and animate.
>>142839723
>Ema
>having enough money to order fancy cocktails
If you call the best girl "tire", I'll kill you.
>>142839022
tarou was a cool guy
insufferable at the start but he came around
>>142839871
>he came around
Barely. I still can't stand him or his VA anymore.
>>142839829
You are paying of course.
>>142839820
Everyone knows that goth-loli-sama is a lesbian
>>142837887
>greentexting yourself
>>142840523
OP here, pointing out that
>People fucking write whole greentext stories
>>142840665
greentexting a story and quoting your fucking self in the same post is two different things.
>>142839756
>I'd love to violently break my imaginary waifu's imaginary hymen.
Who the fuck cares?
>>142837887
Season 2 never. How do you feel?
>>142840665
You didn't tell a story. You were simply naming off aspects of the series that you enjoyed, something that easily could have been done without using the quote function. Either lurk more or learn to use the site's functions properly
>>142841186
It hurts.
>>142839871
>>142839989
Reminder that Tarou is just a caricature of the series director's earlier years. You're supposed to hate him.
>>142841205
>>142841186
Wait what? I thought PA Works guaranteed a second season, but it'll be years later after they complete their other projects?
>>142839829
>so poor that a college student earns more money than her
>has to go home for lunch just to save money
Yeah anon you're going to need a lot of money for this one.
>>142837887
Came for the hos, stayed for the bros.
>>142841343
Lies.
Shirobako was objectively AOTY.
>>142839022
>Its been 2 years since shirobako aired
>>142841493
INB4 "is that real?".
No, it's not real. That chart is not based on real life.
Aerial girls > Exodus
>>142841186
Honestly doesn't bother me much. I'm satisfied with how the show ended and I'd be afraid of season 2 being terrible.
What PA Works needs to do is to make a full season of Third Aerial Girls Squad
>>142841707
I'm sure 80% of the fans agree. I kinda got unsettled at the makeup look in Exodus
>>142841707
but exodus was the eva of idol shows
>>142841840
>>142841831
Nogami Takeshi's art looks pretty good animated.
>>142841691
It's pretty real. Animators get paid per frame (150-200 yen). Fortunately, being employed comes with all sorts of corporate benefits that makes her situation fairly livable.
Shirobako was really cool cause, even outside the context of the show, it made feel like "man I really love anime." Seeing the characters pour their hearts into their work and swoon over their own favourites really hit me, made me feel super grateful for the shows I personally love.
The show itself owns too, funny as heck with a great cast, did drama well and I learned a whole lot.
Dabb
>>142841953
Time out, that actually resembles the madman's artstyle. Is he involved in this anime? Do i need to watch this now?
this show fucking blew.

Was there a better moment than this?
>>142842592
The cowboy bullshit was pretty good.
I liked it but the two anime they created were awful.
>>142839989
Yeah I've grown tired of his VA too.
Could this possibly be the rarest Midori?
Undisputed best girl coming through. Shame there's not much art of her.
>>142843414
>>142843414
She was amazing. I fell in love with her. She was an aamzing girl stuck in a minor role.
>>142837887
I felt it's attempt to cover the whole anime production industry left it feeling a little shallow. A more narrowly targeted show would have served the subject a bit better
>>142843414
>when she say "kudasai"
>>142841186
Once the director's bookings run out he'll do it. It's too much of a success to NOT get a second season.
>>142843539
>>142843588
Good to see there are other Anons that share such fine taste in women
>>142843414
One of Nakahara Mai's better roles.
She took shit from no one, and when the office was in trouble she stepped in to get shit done.
She was calm, but still moe as fuck.
I wish more girls in anime are like that.
>>142837887
That show was so awful
Every episode was the same shit, just people freaking out and talking non stop
>>142843740
>One of Nakahara Mai's better roles
That's a lie, it's average at best considering the type of roles she was getting in 2014
>Zuka will never find a job
>>142843892
>I've never worked in a fast paced environment before
It's based on real life.
I worked as a PA in a film production office before, somewhat similar to this but not anime.
Everything was neatly pipelined and whenever the director asked for a few more days to shoot something, shit hits the fan and dozens of phone calls are made. I left because it was stressful and I was doing more work than I was paid.
I want to make Ema a single mom
>>142844003
But she's a step closer to her dreams, anon!
>>142837887
No one would have given a shit about this show if it was about college age boys instead of girls. I feel like that's the only way they got the green light for this show, by having mature moe blobs.
Not criticizing, though, I enjoy the show.
>>142844331
More of a comment on the industry and fanbase desu. Imagine if Free were about girls instead
>>142844331
>mature moe blobs.
But mature moeblobs are the best moeblobs.
>>142844394
>swimming girls anime by KyoAni
I think you may be on to something here.
>>142844005
I never said that it's not realistic. And the fact that it's realistic doesn't automatically make it better.
>>142839065
You're right, it derps.
>>142837887
the only thing that bothered me was director taking fucking forever to finish scripts and story boards
bitch if i had the oppertunity to write these things i would have three different version of the entire thing done in a week
>>142845020
>sullying protected /a/ heritage with shitty seasonal memes
I want to cum inside Aoi-chan!
>>142845020
Won't forget Moot?
>>142845168
L-lewd!
NabeP best girl
Now if only it didn't have horrific sameface. All of the donut club girls have the same face with different hair and it makes scenes where they're all together kind of weird.
The men come in all shapes and sizes, but the women must be uniformly kawaii. Would it kill them for a little more variety? There's like three characters who don't suffer from incredibly bland sameface designs.The art style was fucking awful, I don't know how anybody likes such utterly generic designs. Holy shit it was like a benchmark for generic.. Most "cute" art styles are ones I don't find cute so I'm shit out of luck in most cute girl shows.
>>142846121
Great taste.
>>142846322
Seriously, the only difference besides hair and expressions are slight differences in eyelashes.
The rest of the show was great so I wish it had a better art style but oh well, PA Works.

I want to make RInko chan feel young again.
I only disliked how all of the girls in Miyamori group were pretty bit part characters apart from Miyamori herself.
I mean the VA character despite creating the emotional scene was just useless.
Goth loli will always make my dick hard.
>>142842131
The second half of the show is all a huge reference about him and the GuP animation staff during those turbulent days when it was airing.
I mean, he even did the character designs for a show that references what he actually did. Literal. Inserts.
So yes, watch it. You will not be disappointed...Except for no season 2... yet...? ;-;
Well, look what we have here.
Fun times.
>>142846322
I disliked the fact that this show had so little meme material. Other than that it was 9.5/10
>>142846361
Ponkan8 is a great character designer, he(?) did oregairu's LN art. The concept art is nice. But PA Works indeed
>>142841547
B-But ping pong wasn't shit
>>142844331
It would've been much better if it had male MCs because the industry isn't afraid of making men legitimately flawed.
Shirobako girls:
>cute
>young
>well dressed
>kind
>endlessly supportive and helpful to each other
>infallible work ethic
>boring as watching paint dry
>just there because such a self aware show knows it sells
Meanwhile, Shirobako men:
>some attractive men
>some ugly men
>some fat men
>some old men
>often abrasive, rude and annoying
>didn't always work hard
>argued with and challenged each other
>actually INTERESTING because they were realistic and imperfect
>there because they actually improved the show with their characterization regardless of how attracted the audience is to them
>>142846683
>kaibutsu energy drink

>>142846724
I sure appreciate blatant generalizations
>>142842131
>>142846649
Based Mizushima even let him be in the show under a slightly different name.
I bet they're tight niggas by now.
>>142846656
I can't believe I read this whole thing. . .
>>142846848
Except for the last two things he said about the girls, and the last three things about the guys (which are opinions) those points are all correct about those characters in that show.
>>142846854
He let him have his own character in GuP too
>>142846848
It's not a generalization, it's bizarrely true. I was waiting throughout the whole series to be proved wrong. There were a couple of slightly older women who got a tiny bit of screen time, and there was that one time Ema ALMOST had a slight disagreement with another girl but just ended up in them being supportive of each other.
As for the designs, just fucking look at them.
Just think of the noises she would make as you fuck her.
>>142846968
Ever been in Japan? That's how most women are in the work field. Don't bring your stupid gaijin ways here.

>shitty seasonal memes
Don't insult luggage lad that way.
>>142847087
Yes, quite a few times actually, and amazingly enough the women with jobs aren't all literally perfect waifu material. They are just normal people.
I'm actually unsure of how to respond to such blatant delusion about anime being real life but my experiences with Japan aren't relevant- this is a work of fiction, being interesting and contributing to the narrative in positive ways comes first. They are mind numbingly boring aside from being cute, and that is a major flaw in an otherwise excellent series.

>>142847197
So you were expecting Aku no Hana designs for the sake of realism? I mean for fuck's sake, just because it's realistic doesn't mean EVERYTHING has to be.
Look at Barakamon, all the kids are adorable and have good designs, none of them are ugly like you'd expect. Even the obaa-san have, despite the age, a pretty design.
No matter how realistic it wants to be, it's still anime.
>Zuka
>perfect waifu material
No thanks.
>>142837887
You should watch Kurobako too.

Personally, that 90s look was better.
Why is she still here? Just to suffer?
I want to help reliever her stress during those 'special occasions', her hair smells lovely when sh uses that shampoo.
>>142849838
>>142841186
no point in season 2, it's closed off nicely already
>>142849983
Yeah, you're right. I just want another anime with the same feel as Shirobako.
What's the deal with this guy anyway?
>>142850306
He's the face of 95% of the workers in the industry.
>>142850306
Jaded veteran who wanted out.
>>142847197
I'm curious what your experience in Japan was. Did you work in an office, or were you just traveling?
I watched like 10 eps and stopped. Will it actually become interesting? They're just showing you how anime is made. Although as a GuP fan it's pretty amusing to look at not-Mizushima.
>>142851560
If you're ten episodes in and still don't like it, then just drop it. This anime isn't for you, senpai.
>>142839022
>Its been 2 years since shirobako aired
What the fuck, it feels like yesterday.
>>142851560
For me I just kept watching and before I knew it, I had a lot of fun. It does get a little bit interesting but it's still kept within the bounds of a regular slice of (working) life anime. Mostly character development.
>>142837887
Literally anime for girls
>>142849669

>>142841691
Does someone has the dollars version of that chart?
I can't seem to find it.
>>142846724
That was the point. The show was really about all the hard working men. The qts were there to be cute and suffer cutely for our amusement.
Were they real?Kunogi saw them at the endso it's a very likely conclusion. Is this anime spookier than what it shows on the surface?
>>142849955
So does this mean that she regularly hooks up with guys? What a slut.
>>142849838
I don't quite remember that scene where Roro the Bear punches her
What exactly was her job?
Do nips really need a person just to make sure everyone does their homework?
Is it because the anime industry is filled with manchildren?
>>142853670
It's in the last episode after she delivers the tape.
>>142837887
It was AOTS 2014.

They do all the administrative job anon.
They are the ones who contact animators, pass orders, recollect every frame and scan then, contact marketing, background and sound companies and organize everything so it doesn't fall apart.

Were you asking a question or are you just really bad at phrasing? If you were asking a question, the answer would be something like the fact that he's not alpha and he is useless.
Shirobako threads were some of the best threads on /a/. Every week was like an adventure with you. I miss the shitposting back then, it was comfier than comfy.
