| Miyamori when under severe stress goes schizophrenia mode like hallucinating those 2 creepy dolls of her lol but good that episode 4 is finish |
| yup this shit is a waste of time for me... pretty sure it's the non-stop retarded shit they talk about + I despise anything 'moe' related |
 |
| Nice episode! Let's see what's next! |
 |
| ew goodness. this episode was a little too stressful for me to watch right now. i wanted something to unwind after a hard week myself so i decided to watch a few eps of something that didnt have to deal with supernatural or action. but this show is just as hectic as anything else i watch. or at least it feels that way. i look forward to the next ep where all her friends finally get back together and have a good time... then again the ep is called "i messed up" so it looks like more trouble :P |
| Holy crap that was stressful to watch! Really well directed, the characters stress really got to us. |
| I'm seriously wondering if all these guys get paid overtime or not. |
| Definitely not my type of job lol. |

gnodab said: I'm still overwhelmed with the huge cast and the process of producing anime. I'm glad we're getting a break next episode. Aoi is a lovely main character. Yes.... worst start ever for an anime |
 |
| I'm not sure how I feel about this anime. Too much characters to follow instead of Bakuman focusing only on 2 characters. Though anime is harder to make than manga. I don't think I can enjoy much of this anime, so I'm gonna put this on-hold. |
 |
| You see? You see? You see? If it weren't for the Director's whims the final scene wouldn't have ended so good! Respect! (Also, the whole team's work) I feel bad for laughing at Aoi's stress and mental collapse xD But it was all so funny! Really, the episode was really stressful to watch xD The stress of the characters really gets you. I'm loving this anime so far. PD: That gothic loli mad drawing skillz! |

Hahaha, I love all her expressions. This show has just been Stress: The Anime so far 😂 |
| I am surprised how much I like the show. Maybe it is because I work in an industry similarly stressed out, so I can totally feel for them... anyways, loving it! |
 |
| OP Animation: 4.9/5 What an stressful job it is to work in a anime production. I was right not to take a job. Just a few seconds correction can cause disaster. That Arupin over emotional scene was the result?? I think it should tone down a bit. I got stress after watching this episode, haha. 3/5 |
 |
| This episode did a good job of illustrating how work can exhaust you. I thought the scene between Miyamoto and Yano on the rooftop was a real highlight and brought Yano to life a little more. And not just because of the butt slap to get Miyamotos tired brain working. I also laughed a lot at the Director and the Animator geeking out over their favorite girls in their own anime. |
 |
| I want to like this...I really do. But I'm just not getting into it. It just reminds me of a day at work so far. |
 |
on 
| Aoi is a veritable storm of sumimasens. What a ride this episode was, I had the hardest time keeping up with everything - which is how it's exactly supposed to be, I guess! Phew. |
| Haha, all those efforts to remake a single scene and I found it worse than the original take. Hurry and finish this whole deal with that trashy moe anime. Hopefully it'll be more interesting to watch the girls get together and work on a new project from scratch. kitten320 said: This show is clearly not meant to be a standard entertainment medium, it is more of a documentary about an anime industry with couple anime like jokes. Yes it does convey information about how a studio works practically, with the reach every member has, how the work is done and by whom, and a bit about the deadlines and time it takes to do proper work. However it's still definitely entertainment. So far, all we got was a pretty simple and kindhearted look at a random imaginary studio through a rozy lens. |

kitten320 said: So working in a middle of a night for days, almost dieing from tiredness and being forced to do tons of extra work under same deadline just cause client decided to change idea is a rosy lens? I won't deny it's still an anime and has it's own comedy and exaggeration moments, but it's pretty solid in idea it covers. And just for information, client changes aren't always for the best. Some of them make shots look worse. Sad truth. It's not what is shown in the anime, as much as how it is shown. The series is accurate with its facts but always goes out of its way to show you the best outcome possible and paint people in a positive light. That's what I meant with the rozy lens comment, it's more about the tone of it. I just disagree with it being called a documentary. To me it was more about the overall atmosphere and getting swept up in the flow of events. Rather than being a documentary about making anime, it is a story about how two particular anime series called "Exodus" and "3rd Aerial Girls Squad" were made. What it manages to show well iis that every single anime has a unique story behind it, as do the people who work on each of them. |
| Whoa, this industry seems VERY strict, guess I'm somehow glad that I'm not talented enough to ever become a part of it o_o It's a bit scary when you think that people REALLY die from stress and overworking themselves to death, gosh. |
  |
| All that work to a change a 10 second scene!! Maji risupekuto!!  |
 |
| I liked how their waifu came to life. |
| That retake was absolutely worth it. Miyamori had a ton of fun expressions in this episode, too. I didn't expect this show to be so binge-friendly, I thought I could be satisfied with just one episode a day, but nope. I'm feeling the magic.

This series shows us how taxing it is to work in this industry, and how many ways a production can go wrong. It merely picks an optimistic route where things do work out in the end, where all the painstaking work ends up paying off. And well, it really is true that in the overwhelming majority of the cases, with very few exceptions, the episodes somehow manage to make it to the station on time. |

| This show really feels hectic to watch. It somehow really makes you feel how it may feel in the animation workplace. |
  |
| Aoi seemed like she was about to lose it...everything amazingly turned out okay. Anime production sure is a busy and very time-dependent process. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Episode 4 really hard works |
| Can't help but feel this entire show is a cry for help. So much work just to be entertainment to be eaten up by our asses, I love it so far |
| I wonder if a hentai anime studio experiences the same issues we've seen in this episode. Well, I'm sure they don't have to worry about broadcast deadlines.. lol |
| So stressful, just how I imagined anime production to be. For a newbie she seems to handle it quite well though, apart from that one breakdown lol |
| So when these anime characters are drawing anime, is that the equivalent of us drawing photo realistic drawings that are so real that when you put them into motion it looks like live action??! |

| I thought this was a little better than the previous two, although it's again, focuses on more of the hectic nature of deadlines and potential delays like the first one. It felt a bit more impactful due to seeing how Aoi Miyamori, someone still new to the company and adjusting on her own, was in absolute hell there for a while as she was everywhere having to deal with so many issues that her brain was about to fuse out due to the stress levels but in the end after relying on others, it all worked out and they managed to get the episode done in the end. It definitely felt hectic to watch so the anime staff translated the message of the episode well here to the audience, making it more engaging in the process (clearly had too much experience first hand with that amount of stress and more, so no wonder I could feel the anxiety from here as just a viewer). Despite the intensity translating really nicely, still wish that there was a little more to the premise than just seeing Aoi work in an animation studio and seeing chaos happen each and every single time. Bakuman admittedly's spoiled me since it gave me the production of manga with realistic options with a story to connect everything together whereas with here, its just sort of running the entire thing on its momentum at just producing anime without much else to really dig into beyond that, especially with the large cast they have (including the main character). |
| This show so far has been a constant marathon. I'm struggling to breathe just watching it, and sometimes my mind can't keep up with how fast-paced it is! I knew anime production was tough, but I didn't know it was THIS tough. Anyway, Aoi's expressions and mannerisms can be really cute! |
 |
| Eyyy they managed. Noice! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I feel stressed just from watching. Holy crap, these are absolutely not sustainable business practices. |
| Feeling stressed in just three episodes. Better drop it. Who put a comedy tag -_- |
 |
| damn this is most definitely an intense anime, had to rewind a few times to make sure I was talking in everything and I’m still sure I missed some stuff; like if I’m being honest I don’t even really remember many of the character’s names or roles in the studio |
