Fact #1 The Moon is really cool

Cake Attack posted:

the passionate several minute argument about the characterization of one of the girls, and whether she was the right kind of cute, in their seemingly terrible anime was pretty great

this is a good anime

I also liked how there then was a random discussion about another character growing up to be a drunk. But the other girl doesn't drink, no no, but she will hang out.

Let's go nuts for donuts.

How many of the characters are based on real studio people? I assume the 5 high school girls are all made up for the show but I'm curious on who is real and who is just an anime creation.

There's a post back on the first page with a bunch of real people (although the Rie Tanaka part is probably a misattribution).

Oop. I somehow missed it being updated and all. Thanks!

I was behind 2 eps and after having watched today's I wish I had waited another week. I wanna see it get solved after that other animator guy decided to make things more difficult.

In the end though I have to agree: loving Tarou.

I also liked that the method of getting him to animate the storyboards just involved cramming him in a makeshift prison cell. I am a little afraid to ask how true this is to the industry but it was pretty funny in anime form at least.

I hope things get better for Ema next episode. I'm sure old man animator has some more sage advice that can help out. I trust in him :smith:

How can you loving live off less than 10,000 dollars a year??? Are these animators typically living at home and off parents for a while or something? Even our interns get paid more than that and they're loving useless

Is it maybe an animator only working for one job a year and take a bunch of different jobs to kinda stack them up? Or is this the final average from doing more than one show a year :(?

It's actually 24 episodes. Amazon Japan has eight volumes up. Volume eight lists having episodes 22-24 on it.

If you're going by ANN, don't. They stick 12 on any airing show that they don't have an official episode count for.

Oh thank goodness. Freaking ANN making me all "oh noooo" like that. Thanks for the info and sorry to jump the gun there!

That meeting was both the best and the worst. I love anytime I get to hear Koyasu Takehito acting goofy. A good ep I think.

I think that Zukachan-senpai might get a part as one of the side characters. At least I am hoping so.

Please remember that one of the more senior artists at the studio is a woman who wears goth-loli outfits to work every day. And insiders have said that her character was inspired by a real (unnamed) person.



And NOW we know why she's goth loli-ing it every day. I liked today's episode because for now things to be back on track until the next inevitable hiccup haha. :3: I hope we can get gifs of the angel exercise if only cuz I was like "wtf is going on here"

That's impossible. The creator(s) of a manga can kill an anime adaptation in the crib if they want to - or endlessly delay it like Takeuchi did with the Sailor Moon reboot.

Is that what happened with Sailor Moon? I figured they just went up to her and were like "Look we can't keep just announcing it, we need to actually make it to keep getting money".

Yea on the one hand, loving Tarou man. But then on the other at least Tarou seems to give a poo poo, even if it can be about stupid things. New guy doesn't even wanna party. Also the noodles at the party made me think of the Nichijou scene with the noodles and the EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH.

Latest episode was pretty intense. I laughed pretty hard when Tarou popped up just because he heard his name. Also, Hiroaka continues to be a gently caress, big surprise!

Also, it's really great to have Yano back.

I liked that they addressed Aoi's role in the show and in her group of friends through Aria.

Yea the part with her reading the lines at the end was a really good if kind of sad moment in itself.

I did also enjoy the talk between Hiroaka and studio head as well. Dropping the truth bombs.

I knew this was going to happen but I'm still :argh: .

Also this episode did a lot of good I think with people kinda gaining some traction with their lives. With Ema getting confident enough to take the position, some humanizing of Hiroaka and even super shy girl managing to get out words and going to the meeting all on her own. On the other hand though, holy poo poo Zukachansenpai :(
