Episode 3 was pretty good. I'm pretty sure they won't always manage to make it each episode and at one point everything is going to go off the rails.

I don't know much about anime production, but I've been a game tester for years, and this really felt like crunch time.

Hell no, it's way more of his fault than that. His job as a production assistant isn't just to relay messages like some kind of phone line, his whole job revolves around him being able to appease both sides properly and resolve issues that come up. The end results of the episode depends on how effective he is at his job, of which he is a massive detriment to.

He basically said the wrong thing every time to maximize the troubles too.

Also Aoi doesn't need a hospital, she needs a mental ward.

You're taking the "hallucinations" too seriously. They're jsut a fun way to show the character's thoughts and feelings. Jeeeeeeeeeez.

I probably would have killed someone in that meeting. Good thing it's all just caricature, right?

Right...?

Hahahahahaa, you poor, optimistic fool.

Pretty great episode. The dolls work much betetr as a greek chorus/exposition dump than as random delusions.

Seriously, this episode was fanservicy in the best way possible.

The best of which, to me as a racing game fan, was the two of them TrackMania-ing down the highways of Tokyo in an 80's Volvo.

Late at night, because No One Sleeps in Tokyo.

The really amazing thing is how they managed to make turn around on Tarou. I went from hating the dude to actually kind of liking him. Whatever faults he may have, and he's got a few, he's not a bad person, he's pretty upbeat and seems like he cares about his coworker,s in his usual clueless moronic ways. Now that we've seen much more terrible people (Funny-story guy, the new employee), Tarou went from jerk to comic relief.

Pretty cool trick.

He also had the hardest job this week working on episode 1. Which the majority of the previews cuts were taken from and did not screw it up.

Also no comments on Honda's great diet.

I was so happy to have managed to lose 50 pounds.

And then I gained 20 back. :negative:

Sorry, but this is actually what's going to happen

If this had been posted early in the series, I would have raged.

Now, I'd actually like to see that.

Nope, sorry, not buying into this "Tarou is a cool dude" narrative that's popped up recently, dude is still a jackass who's best served as Yano's punching bag

Can you imagine a Shirobako 2 series, were Tarou is the director and Aoi is his producer? poo poo would be hilarious.

This has become the show I'm most consistently excited about watching each week.

I would be the same, if not for G-Reco. So Shirobako gets to be number 2.

Oh gently caress I used to watch the inspiration for Andes Chucky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JgdThoUM1M

There were a ton of old animes playing on Quebec tv in the late 80s early 90s. My mom's got an old tape where I'm like four year old and super hype to watch that show.

What would be worse: a terrible second season or no second season at all?

Early Genshiken felt a lot like my College days. Except I was in a D&D club, not an anime one.

Who else is hype for a season 2 with Tarou as director?
