I actually think the way they animated that explosive chase scene to be decent or actually good. It might not be perfect but it's a good effort.

Speaking of efforts, I notice that some of the guys in this show really tires himself out at the studio. It looks like some of them really are going to put all their efforts to finish what they've started. Wow.

A conflict between animation styles....interesting. Heh, this was the second show I watched today where a character did a rolling on the floor style tantrum...pretty different character though. :D Also, Takanashi really is the most annoying character pretty easily.

I feel a little bad for the director to get locked up like that! But more for Honda of course.

3D vs 2D in anime! It escalating too with episode 9 being done with key animation while episode 8 is now going for 3D! The talk about learning to accept the coming of 3D and how their passion is just as much as theirs!

A recap episode for the last episode xD

A battle between 2D and 3D, well, I'm from the 2D era so I'm more confortable with 2D, CGI looks weird sometimes (and don't mix both please).

Anyways, it's understandable why the 2D guy was mad, good episode.

I feel this anime is extremely interesting even though I know nothing about the animaton industry. This is getting better by the episode too.
I feel all the girls will work together in the next project or maybe even in this one.
I want more Shizuka :3

That stupid Mohawk's miscommunication caused a friggin mess <_< What a loser.

He's relaying the messages in way too much summarized version that causes lots of misunderstandings.

And I definitely prefer Sakuga over 3D.

Loved how Honda was treating the Director like a criminal XD Didn't expect Seiichi to have been such a successful director before :O

Poor Myamori, Takanashi is gonna give her a heart attack soon.

Takanashi is a real trouble maker especially for others and now he draws Miyamori into his trouble as well.
I guess Miyamori will go straight to Honda next episode.
Time will tell i guess.

Seems 3D is really the future for anime and i don't think it's such a bad thing tho i would like to keep the authentic drawing style in anime.

It feels quite stressful watching this... I'm already stressed out enough these days but this seems to add to the stress somehow? ^^" Though it would have been fine if I wasn't stressed out from the beginning...

Anyway still nice ep :) The ending felt quite abrupt though oO

Yet another dope Shirobako episode. I can't just get enough with all of these characters interacting, there's something that makes their conversations refreshing and that's a good thing.

Just fucking fire that Tarou guy already, Musani.

Actually, the director was kind of cute during his tantrum. Throwing him out of the fifth floor - repeatedly - still remains.

2D vs 3D is a good debate for the industry. The TakanashiS are cancer everywhere.

I personally do not like 3D since they usually look weird and lifeless.. and when the episode title " Those Who Blame Others Should Just Quit!" popped up, I instantly thought of Takanashi. He really messes up everything..

Hmm not liking Endou-san so far; way too stubborn and close-minded for my liking, even though I do understand where he's coming from and the fact that I myself prefer key animation over 3D. But he needs to open up and realize that his immaturity is affecting the rest of the team > > Looks like he may be changing his mind though near the end.

Oooh another predicament Oi-chan and Takanashi find themselves in. Lelelelego and see.

Tarou is a stupid SOAB! Why is he even an assistant at this point? Couldn't even relay a message properly, which ended up causing the misunderstandings. >.<

Honda was the best character of the episode. His way of dealing with director Seiichi was hilarious! That was quite the "Demon Mode." XD

3D vs. Hand-drawing animation was the focus this time. Kitano-san's viewpoint of compromising with the 3D to improve the quality of anime seemed to be the best solution. Good seeing Endou is trying to follow his notion.

Decent episode. Miyamori will probably never get a break again. Last episode was her only time..

Nice and interesting episode.

Why are they saying "3D just takes forever"?
I thought that one of the reasons to use 3D were because it is a faster way to produce specific scenes or entire sequences.

You know, Takanashi is the kind of employee I wouldn't mind berating and humiliating before I fire him in front of the whole company. And then as a parting gift, I'll send in a recommendation to a rival company and watch that company crash and burn. No wait...nobody deserves to work with him. Nobody deserves such a cruel fate.

Wow who let that dumbass be part of the team...terrible negotiating skills by saying all the wrongs things and thus leading to misunderstandings. Jfc. And wow, didn't expect to see an argument about 3D vs key animation, but I guess it's also a topic people working in the anime industry would talk about and not just us anime watchers complaining. I think 3D animation is fine as long as it blends well into the 2D that it's barely or not noticeable. But if it's humans, then I would always prefer 2D because there's more you can do with facial expressions whereas 3D can feel a little stiff. Well they're talking mainly about the explosions I think in this episode though. Seems like Endou has gotten some inspiration or a new pov about the 3D after asking Aoi to look at the scene. He's stubborn, but at least he listened to that other guy and then decided open his mind a little bit.

Great episode. Miyamori is climbing the ladder to becoming one of my favorite female character.

Takanashi is funny & cool, i don't understand why everyone hates him so much. he's a airhead newbie, come one guys take it easy on him.

Was...that a Honey and Clover reference I heard at he awards ceremony flashback? Nice. Good episode, pretty interesting how it kind of tackled 3D and 2D animation styles here, hopefully the next one will go a bit more in depth though.

Honda gets shit done, btw. Can't help but find Takanashi's incompetence amusing, though. Particularly him fucking up the messages between Endou and the 3D guy and the sparkling at Miyamori being put in the same position as him.

Everyone is a noob in the beginning. But did everyone blamed the others for his own incompetence. It's immature and counterproductive. One can clearly see the difference b/w him and Endou. When Endou was scolded directly for blaming others for his own misgivings, he took it to heart and went to fix the things somehow, because he loves his work and wants it done.
Takanashi created a problem for the whole studio, disrupted the workflow by thinking only for himself, expecting someone else to do his job, and clean his mess. Please, don't offend "airheads". They may lack awareness and self-organization, but they aren't irresponsible and egoistical brats.

They're really saving it up for Yano to catch wind of Tarou's mess so that she can give him a mouthful that he'll end up crying or resigning himself. It's all a build up and it'll be glorious.
