Uh oh, this is starting to look like it might be one of those shows where deep down everyone has a heart of gold and they learn to overcome their deficiencies. C'mon, I want to see cynical untalented hack jerks! Without having to look in the mirror!

I kind of want the show to turn out really good and them to have a moment where they pretty much look at the camera and say "This is actually how all good anime is made. Shirobako lied to you."

Well, if this is how good anime is made then Shirobako technically didn't lie, because the anime they made in Shirobako were complete trash.

the training sequence with uplifting music that ends with her meeting the bare minimum is amazing

It's great because we have a positive uplifting episode for once except that what it builds up to is that no one expects anything out of anime anyway so merely being not awful is good enough :allears:

Momoka casually picking up the bill at that cafe, despite her being the one asked out to give advice, was pretty great.

That was a really good ep, but man it was hard to watch at times. What's the german term for that? fremdschamen? something like that. Chitose going up to the mic and loving it all up, over and over again...

Yes, Fremdschämen.

I like the meeting room scenes, they give the feeling that a very Shirobako-esque scenario is unfolding just off-screen, but nobody's really bothering to tell the VAs about it.

Yeah, the last two eps starting with a scene that's basically "it got worse" is a great way to set the tone

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
For some reason it really bugs me how every single character wears the same outfit every single day.

This is the dark future, where Tarou got put in charge before he stopped being a huge poo poo

(I know the Shirobako comparisons have already been made, but I'm catching up on episode 2 where he's saying "Don't worry about it. What matters isn't budget, but PASSION" to the other guy and it really drove the point home for me)

say what you like, the shows the shirobako cast was working on had some artistic merit. idols on the run from a crime they didnt commit! 60s era jets vs alien-possessed F22s! it was deliberately aspirational for something, beyond whatever the gently caress harem show the giarlish number crew are working on

The Japanese title is "gaarishu nanbaa", with "gaarishu" typically being "girlish", but it may as well be "garish".

Probably that.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's a pun on girlish/garish sounding the same/similar in katakana.
