| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It was an alright episode, felt a bit slow though but it's good to see everyone working on schedule. I kinda like the way Yuka-sensei takes in charge of the studio members. The driving as usual is short and intense. Aoi, slow down lmao |
 |
| And so the great 2D vs. 3D conflict is resolved by going back to the origins of their passion with anime. I hope good things start happening for Shizuka too. |
| Nice and slow episode. Oh god, Initial D moe is back!: I liked that scene, Idepon Miyamori (lol) driving style is really aggressive. Finally they solved that 3d vs drawn animation battle :). |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| The director being a jailbreak from his cell! It was nice to see the director finally running his engine to get the storyboard done! I enjoyed Takanashi ringing the bell, he just looked... funny. Shimoyanagi and Endou finding a mutual ground between each other. Liked how Takanashi was wrong about anything xD Their passion completely breaking through the tension they had! Both of them willing to learn more from what they lack at the end. |
 |
| Segawa-san saving the day with that suggestion to Aoi-chan |
| More Segawa-san is always welcome. And the last few seconds with the explosion cuts were beautiful. just...beautiful. |
| So, they found a common theme in origins of their passion huh? Nice :) |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| A newly born BROMANCE :D Kantoku also seems to have finally started working hard ^^ |
 |
| Another great episode. Go Idepon Miyamori. |
| A P.A. Works anime is probably the last place I thought I'd see a reference to an existentialistic European absurdist play from the fifties. "All right. Let's die" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot |
| Poor Shizuka, it looks like she has no luck. Nice episode, finally every thing's settled. |
| I really hope that Japan doesn't outright abandon 2D in favor of 3D, It would suck to see it happen. Dat jailbreak tho lol. |
| So Miyamori saved the day in the end. Still this episode made me wonder about the people working in the business, things must be hard on there personal lives. Particularly with lovers and such they must have a lot of patience and understanding. |
 Aw yeah. Oi-chan is fantastic. Aversa said: Particularly with lovers and such they must have a lot of patience and understanding. Probably, but to a certain degree this is likely true for many occupations. The best thing is probably when the spouse has nothing to do with the stuff you do at work, I think. Just like what we saw in the episode. |

| Wow can't believe they referenced Waiting for Godot! I remember reading it in 10th grade and I really liked it. Perfect fit for Shizuka's current situation about waiting for a call back. Ugh, Tarou is still annoying as ever, can't listen to this guy. I'm glad though that Endou changed his perspectives a little at the end. Nothing like bonding over something that influenced you to go for a a job that you're willing to do for the rest of your life. It was really a relief and almost heartwarming end when Endou and Shimoyanagi were talking about animating together. Working together is much better than fighting against each other, and Endou has more things he could learn too about 3DCG. |
| Really cool that they showed us Endou's version of the explosions with just the keyframes at the end. |
| Good episode. Was great to see Endou-san and that 3D CG producer get along. All I really have to say at this point lol. |
| The fact that the fat director was actually able to climb out was something I found amusing. |
| Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.). Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!) Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics. Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it. Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something... |
| Would've loved seeing how Kantoku escaped from that cage with his heavy body. XD Tarou is still an annoying SOAB. It's him that's making Miyamori's life twice as hard. Why doesn't he get fired already? >.< Tateo-sensei's encouraging words to Shizuka were nice. I really hope she gets an active role soon. Her acting voice is <3. Idepon exhibition scenes were great! Shimoyanagi and Endou bonding over their mutual interest was nice to see. Ultimately, it was Idepon Miyamori that saved the day. Finally, she gets some good acknowledgements from her colleagues, except Tarou cause his flattery doesn't count. Good episode. Kantoku rejoicing only after finishing part A was pretty funny! |

| Poor Honda surrounded by striking stooges on the office He would have gotten a heart attack several times already The crisis seems to have ended finally Idepon sounds like a nice Mech series |
| not bad, I caught some feels around the ending there. |
 <--- Who Your Waifus Look Up To --->  |
| This was easily the weakest episode so far, but for the most part it was still a solid episode :) |
| the blonde guy is quite an irritation |

1lau said: Poor Honda surrounded by striking stooges on the office He would have gotten a heart attack several times already The crisis seems to have ended finally Idepon sounds like a nice Mech series Well, it's a Tomino series, so... |
| The director and Takanashi are seriously the biggest fucking scrubs I have ever seen. If this anime had even a hint of realism they would've both been jobless by episode 2. Besides those 2 wastes of life... Shimoyanagi and Endou are bros now. That's pretty cool. |
| That hand-drawn key frame animation for the explosions at the end of the episode was excellent. |
 |
| This show brings a smile to my face. More Segawa pls |
 |
| All of the character interactions in this episode were great. And dat bromanctic fanboyism between Endou and Shimoyanagi. :D This is my favourite episode yet. |

| How the hell did the director climb out of that cage?!?!??? The man will defy gravity for some fried chicken I guess... |
| ^ Maybe getting physical became an inspiration of sorts to overcome his slump. He properly returned to his cell afterwards and finished his job. I liked what Tateo-san shared with Zuka-chan. Waiting for something to happen is indeed important, but what one does in the mean time is crucial. Zuka may have failed the audition, but she could learn and gain more experience and confidence from her unrelated job. Could try to learn a foreign language, which is a good thing for VAs and singers, because they can exercise different prosody, vocalization and breathing techniques, etc. Back to the 2D vs. 3D debate, those who can draw, could learn some CG software; those, who can't draw, can learn to draw. It's essential to know where to put the lights properly, understand the impact of textures along with how to create raster and tweak image content and motion. With that being said, no one needs CGI TakanashiS in the creative decisions, otherwise we can call it quits for the industry or anime appeal in general right here and now. Good job, Idepon-Aoi-chan :) Well, the most hilarious thing in this episode was the otaku level of Andou and Shimoyanagi in front of Idepon. Brought tears of joy into my eyes ^^ and I don't even like Idepon that much. It was a feast to watch nonetheless :D |
| The episode felt a bit slow and boring, but it's not terrible. I'm glad this part is over. I wonder what they will bring for the next part. Hopefully the director and the blonde guy will become a bit more realistic/less annoying, but I have my doubts about that. x) |

| so many cheezy lines - it can't just be a coincidence that my stomach hurt after watching that episode Looks like the art took a hit: some of the characters weren't drawn as crisp and detailed as before and then there was that silent expolsion scene with little background colour before the ED that was just awkward coming after the production desk scene at the end cringe when Endou and Shimoyanagi were talking outside the office after Endou drew all the key frames and stuff the night before They both blushed during the conversation. What is this, yaoi? Endou's already married. 1/5 bleh worst episode of this anime series so far |

Darstorm-Sandude said: .. and then there was that silent expolsion scene with little background colour before the ED that was just awkward coming after the production desk scene at the end .. Err, you do realize that those key frames were the episode 8 explosion scenes that the show has revolved around for the past couple of episodes? The ones that Endou spent a whole night drawing. Anyone who appreciates this show should understand the significance of actually showing that sequence. In fact, would someone be kind enough as to .gif the CG and key frame sequences side by side? Pretty please.. |

| I loved the Ideon references in the episode, they went to the point of even doing remixes of the opening and ending which was really unexpected |
| Welp, they managed to sort it out in the end:) |

What is this, yaoi? Endou's already married. 1/5 bleh worst episode of this anime series so far No, they were just feeling flattered, or that sort of happy feeling you get when praised. Blushing =/= romance. And that wasn't really blushing, I would say. I found this a great episode. I still hate Taro and everyone's tolerance of him, but I'm glad everything worked out. I especially like that the Endou and Shinoyanagi bonded over a passion, that was really nice! When they were re-enacting dramatic lines and correcting silly Taro, I had to grin. ^^ The 2D vs. 3D talk was nicely realistic in their benefits and detriments too. :) |

Apparently colleagues, who were previously at odds, can't show admiration for each other's work and is automatically considered yaoi. |

| Loved this ep. I seriously always felt that 2D explosions were so much cooler than the 3D explosions but this opened my eyes a little in respecting both This anime once again fulfills it's duty as a feel good anime as I certainly FEEL GOOD after watching it :D Can't wait for next weeks ep |
The best anime is the Road to El Dorado |
| i don't mind CG too much. heck, i liked the ending theme of smile precure and the insert songs in Love Live which were made in CG. Ushinawareta was made in CG and it looks pretty decent (though i still prefer hand drawn animation) |

| The official website shows eight new technical terms which were used in Episode 6, here at the top of this webpage, highlighted with yellow boxes. This is all in Japanese only. http://shirobako-anime.com/words.html There is quite a lot of jargon to learn in order to follow this series. - - - - - - - - - - - As for me, to be honest, I find this series very challenging to watch. There are so many characters, and it seems overwhelming to keep track of their names, their job titles, and what in fact they actually do. So I can't even attempt to watch an episode unless I am wide awake and keeping my eyes continuously focused on the screen. I wonder, then, do anime fans in Japan find this series so high-level that it does not appeal to them? Is this series only of interest to a small group of otaku who are specifically interested in the precise details of the animation production process? Is the animation team doing this as "a labor of love" which accurately documents their life but without a serious expectation of being financially viable? Well, as it turns out, it seems that SHIROBAKO is a business success. I checked out the "Amazon Stalker points", which are one way of measuring the popularity of a series among fans in Japan. These points an indication of the number of pre-orders of the Blu-rays and DVDs. Many fans place these pre-orders well before the BDs/DVDs actually go on sale. As of this moment, here are the Amazon Stalker points. Note that, for every volume, there is a regular edition and a special limited edition. Volume 1 (on sale Dec 24) BD(reg) 3079 DVD(reg) 206 BD(sle) 298 DVD(sle) 68 Volume 2 (on sale Jan 28) BD(reg) 2982 DVD(reg) 190 BD(sle) 345 DVD(sle) 86 Volume 3 (on sale Feb 25) BD(reg) 3437 DVD(reg) ... BD(sle) ... DVD(sle) .. Volume 4 (on sale Mar 25) BD(reg) 3922 DVD(reg) ... BD(sle) ... DVD(sle) .. Volume 5 (on sale Apr 22) BD(reg) .... DVD(reg) ... BD(sle) ... DVD(sle) .. Volume 6 (on sale May 27) BD(reg) .... DVD(reg) ... BD(sle) ... DVD(sle) .. Volume 7 (on sale Jun 24) BD(reg) .... DVD(reg) ... BD(sle) ... DVD(sle) .. Volume 8 (on sale Jul 29) BD(reg) .... DVD(reg) ... BD(sle) ... DVD(sle) .. Sorry, I got lazy so I did not fill in all of the numbers. In any case, the major contributor to the points are clearly the regular edition Blu-rays. I am not expert on analyzing "Amazon Stalker points", and I know that many other people on these threads are very knowledgable about them. So all I will say is that these numbers look astoundingly high to me, for a series which appeared to me to be aimed at a small niche of specialized viewers. |
