Why is the Sword Art Online guy on the Ema drawing?

I do not like this man who is mean to Zuka-chan-sempai.

I also don't like Ema's proposed gloves, but that problem seems to have solved itself.

Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
It seems like elements of Ema's old design were transferred to Gothloli-sama instead.

It's a great loss that we won't see Badass Ema dual-wielding pens.

That's in the US system. In Japan, they prefer to actually have a good amount of the animation done before they give it to the actors.
That's how they explained it in that one episode of Gintama but since that was a long running weekly series the situation might be different.

Production issues in my anime about producing anime. Things are getting too meta here you guys.

It was already too meta when that episode of Durarara aired.

Someday they'll make an anime about my life, and they'll get to today, and it'll be even more meta-er.

Man, that was a really great character moment for Zuka at the end there. She's content with where she is, and I can't help but be happy for her :)

Hiroka was humanized a lot by the little scene he had with his cat. Probably because we never have seen him look happy anywhere else.

I'm pretty sure that Zuka isn't content being a waitress. Zuka probably thinks that it's not the best time for an introduction while she's working at a bar.

An uncountable number, to be sure.

Also, introducing her as a voice actress when she's so far failed to achieve anything kind of rubs it in her face. Not that Aoi intended that, of course.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

Isn't the problem with the 3D animation simply that she was animating movement without a full body seat belt harness?

So Hiraoka's the example of high energy in that leads to a spectacular crash and burn later.

Also, I think Zuka didn't want Aoi making introductions for her because she wanted to get her roles by her own ability and not by introduction.

I loved the bit with Diesel and the director jumping for joy at the end. They were just so happy :3:

That's the anime answer, but I'm thinking Clarste and sincx have the right of it. This show's been too positive about knowing people being a good thing to do that, I think.

Well the show's been having some realistic portrayals of the world, yeah.

Seriously, connections are kind of what gets you places. Whether you get those connections because you're good at what you do or because you're sociable (or some combination of the two) really doesn't matter, at the end of the day if no one knows you can contribute it really doesn't matter.

I feel like Zuka's gonna get to voice the baby boar. Not even joking. It'll be a role at least, and it could help her get recognition if she shows up at promotional events afterwards.

I thought it was funny that right after we had that derail poking fun at Otaku who really want Aoi or friends to be their precious unspoiled Waifus that this episode had that one guy show up and introduce himself as "I'm Miyamori's boyfriend! Just kidding." They know. :tinfoil:

Is there any other meaning of Shizuka's name besides silent/quiet?

oh to be on Japanese twitter for that one moment.

I could've done without the humanizing of Daisuke, but i suppose it was important for his character in the end.

Gently enveloping the target with indiscriminate love.
After all that humanizing of Daisuke, I was seriously expecting Aoi to assign him to the final episode. To give him some shonen-manga style character development.

I enjoyed watching Aoi handle Hiraoka's flippant and assholish demeanor just by being the consummate professional the whole way through. No outbursts or desperate pleading, just a clear and direct talking-to which more or less boiled down to "Check your frustrations at the door and do your drat job." :allears:
