It's probably wishful thinking on my part when I hope this whole arc with the old guy isn't subtle criticism on moe as a trend, right?

I mean, I really don't think there's any reason why someone who isn't a good artist with solid fundamentals wouldn't be able to "moe it up". It's not like it's some bizarre subtle technical craftsmanship thing. And drawing cutesy cartoon animals is closer to cutesy cartoon girls than say, being someone who worked on a Fist of the North Star anime.

Wouldn't WANT TO? Maybe! Not naturally suited towards? Possibly, but incapable of? To put a spin on an old nugget, if moe was hard, then everybody wouldn't be doing it.

It is more likely a criticism on age discrimination or possible trends in general. Not the moe trend in particular.

Definitely wishful thinking, this is half a moe show. It's more like it doesn't take itself too seriously, and that it's okay that moe is poo poo.

Whoever did Kanno's voice (assuming it's not Anno himself under a pseudonym) was incredible. The VA manage to sound EXACTLY like Anno--not only the voice, but also the tone, inflection, the weird pauses when Anno talks, the whole nine yards were the same. Did this VA voice anything else?

Shouto Kashii, he's done a ton of minor characters in all sorts of anime, but nothing major it seems.

I would've thought they'd pull the guy who voiced Director-kun in Insufficient Direction, but I guess they wanted a more serious depiction. I did find out that Megumi Hayashibara voiced Rompers and I wouldn't be surprised if a version of her showed up at some point since she's at that level of illustriousness.

I think it's an add on to the previous topic of digital v. hand drawn animation, except here it's laser focused on the changing relevance of animators that are not able or willing to adapt instead of those who are.

They're going to hire the girl with yellow highlights and the woman who wanted to have a better commute. She's still better than Tarou.

Given how detailed this show is regarding industry trivia, I'm sure Anno's real living room looks very close to that.

I'm just basing it on what I gleaned from his life from Insufficient Direction since it's basically about him from the POV of his wife.

So is Shirobako supposed to be a moe SOL or not? It sure looks like one from all the promo art, but the content certainly isn't moe.
