I second Shirobako. It's another "business anime" and it's very, very good.

Shirobako is really good but it suffers from an oversized cast and sameface designs so get a notebook to keep track of who is who and you'll be golden

the character designs in shirobako are really colorful and distinct though??? it'd be impossible to mix up most of the characters in that show

Yeah of all the things you could say about Shirobako's character designes "has a lot of sameface designs" isn't anywhere close to one of them.

The scanlators have consistently kept pace/barely ahead of the anime, major props to them.

Also now that the manga has covered all of s2 I can finally start watching the anime yay (I didn't want to risk my enjoyment of the manga by watching the anime first).


fakeedit: The author does have an older work for anyone that doesn't know btw. It's a bit worse than new game iirc but it is in full colour.

Both series are very relaxing for me to read, similar to non non biyori.

The absolutely do though. Most shows will diversify their main cast facially by giving them different eye shapes and doing poo poo with their mouth and that's absolutely untrue of Shirobako. Face means face, it doesn't mean everything else about a character as well.

Read the latest chapters on Dynasty, which will probably be the entirity of our finale tomorrow. Really nice stuff - maybe a bit rushed due to the 4-koma format, but the anime's done a great job of expanding and connecting scenes all season, so I'm really excited to see how DogaKobo sees us off tomorrow.

It's okay fellas, Shirobako is my show and I freely admit it suffers from sameface. It is still excellent though!

shirobako doesnt really have sameface, i can tell the characters apart at a glance. they have different eyeshapes and builds and stuff. the 'main' 5 girls look kind of similar but all the guys and all the older women look very different from each other. I never had a problem telling characters apart at all. I mean, I didn't remember everyone's names but whenever someone showed up I was like 'yeah, that guy.'

edit: accusing shirobako of same face in the new game thread is some next-level mixup

they said the villain was a sick girl who created the world to escape from the fact that she was dying so i guess the ending would be her accepting death

or maybe bear murder cured her illness and her and peco become friends in the real world

IIRC they never said anything about her dying, just that she has been very sickly and unable to go outside and make friends so she escaped into this fantasy world populated by her stuffed animals where she controls everything. It makes a lot of sense because children often desire control over their surroundings and long term illness makes you feel even less in control than normal, combine that with loneliness and some magic bullshit and you get this stuffed animal fantasy world.

The big issue to me was that there are a crapton of characters introduced all at once and it's a style that's a little more realistic so it was hard to remember who was who

Same. It's easily my AOTS, and it's gonna be really hard to decide between this and MaiDragon for my AOTY. Great adaptation of a good manga. Even besides just how good DogaKobo's production values are throughout, they did a great job of adding in more meat and connective tissue in and around scenes that the manga, being a 4-koma kind of had to compress or awkwardly transition between. Rin and Kou's confession and all the surrounding material is a prime example. I can see how one could walk away from the manga feeling that things went a bit too quietly or quickly, but the adaptation reorders things slightly, recontextualizes a scene or two, and fleshes out key conversations to make the whole arc really sing - plus the character animation on both of them is just gorgeous throughout. There were moments when this show could have passed for a KyoAni production.

Show's probably up there with Hidamari Sketch and K-On as far as Top-Tier Slice Of Life goes, as far as I'm concerned. It balances comedy and drama really well, has a really charismatic cast of characters that bounce off of each other wonderfully, and just exudes an air of overwhelming affection for its characters that it invites the audience to share in. A+ stuff.

Spiritus Nox

I'm pretty sure I heard that, not counting volume 5, which is a prequel that the anime skipped, we ended only a few chapters behind the most recent release, with new chapters releasing monthly. Could be a while before there's enough material for a season 3, barring DogaKobo or someone just deciding to do original material.
