SHIROBAKO : Episode 1

Current Episode Score: 7

I’ve always heard this was a great show about the animation industry, at least at the time it was made. And being an actual 24 episode PA Works anime is very good as well, since their original anime always have issues when they are 12 episodes. With the first episode I would say I’m enjoying it and off to a good start.

Though I do hope this show just becomes an honest criticism of how terrible the animation production industry is, whether it was 10 years ago or today. I doubt very much the ridiculous time crunch and overwork in the industry has changed at all. Though this could also just end up being a feel good story about this group making things they enjoy and not say anything serious about the industry.
