  Girlish Number is a Fall 2016 anime about the voice acting industry, and so far, it seems really neat! MAL's synopsis posted:College student Chitose Karasuma is determined not to do boring things as she enters the adult world. To this end, this bad-mannered beauty barges into a facility that trains would-be voice actors and actresses, somehow landing a job at “Number One Produce,” a seiyuu agency managed by her older brother, Gojo. In Chitose's mind, she's poised for greatness, but finds herself at a loss when she continues to only get minor roles. As she clashes with other girls in the agency, including a cunning airhead and a girl with a Kansai accent, Chitose is about to learn that there's more to succeeding in this competitive industry than she imagined. As of the first episode, I like its cynical yet still light-hearted take on the seiyuu biz, with characters bitching about the industry but still trying hard and still overall having a good time. Everyone we've seen is two-faced and petty, and that seems pretty realistic (and it's fun to watch, besides!). The source material, a "serial novel" (which I guess is somehow different form a light novel?), is written by Wataru Watari, best known for Oregairu/SNAFU, and that fills me with hope, and hype.     Karasuma Chitose Kugayama Yae Katakura Koto    Sonou Momoka Shibasaki Kazuha Kuzu-P    Karasuma Gojou Towada-AP President Namba (Japanese name order) It's streaming on Crunchyroll (in the US, at least) on Wednesdays at midday! Watch the good show!

haha, the second ep was great! Chitose is so awful. She's fantastic! Kuzu-P is such a fuckup and I already hate him. The "Yae's black heart" gags are hilarious. I don't remember if we got an OP in the first ep, but if so I wasn't paying attention. It's good, and I love how colorful it is. Really, the whole show is colorful in a way that contradicts how nasty some of the characters are and takes the sting out of it. I'm liking this a lot, good and fun characters that are lovely people are a ton of fun to watch. Thanks, Zog!

the only clues we have to its quality are: a) Chitose of course didn't like it b) the crowd ate it up c) Koto liked the animation put this all together, and Endorph posted:it seemed like it was supposed to have some well-drawn shots made specifically for the PV and then the actual stuff from episodes of the show was very generic.

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...

It really does feel like someone saw Funny Story and thought, "you know, I bet I could write a character viewers want to punch even more." But Funny Story got his comeuppance. I don't think Kuzu-P will.
