| Could someone tell me where to find a subbed version of the episode? HorribleSubs hasn't posted it and it's been 24 hours, so I don't think they will. I'm having a hard time finding anything but raws. |
 |
| That belly martial arts was gold lol, couldn't stop laughing. That editor is pretty annoying, felt like the upper staff put every blame on the editor, best scapegoat too. It was pretty nice seeing all the support the director got. The sensei was pretty nice, getting to an understanding with the director and sharing each others passion. Shizuka finally getting a role, the dialogue really fitted too, being one step closer. Oi-chan crying really got me, cried a little too. Quite the amazing episode to see Zuka part of the Aerial Girls! 6/5 button please... A fun and emotional episode, can't ask for more! |
 |
| I cried the greatest feeling manly tears ever. OMG. |

| Now tell me, why does this brilliant of a show only have 7.66 rating and 39,919 members? Where is the love for this show, MAL? Are you tsundere for good shows? Please tell me why, how, what did go wrong? Please. PLEASE TELL ME! |
 |
| This was well worth the wait. 10/10 would cry again T.T |
 |
| That was so damn sweet, Miyamori just broke my heart in the best way. |
 |
| finally zuka-chan gets a role this needs a S2 |
| And last scene was much more moving than whole last Shigatsu episodes. The feelings were just real and honest. 5/5 and probably 10/10. I always loved P.A. Works productions (I liked even Glasslip, which was not that bad, really, I'm not trolling or something). P.A. Works is on 1st place in my studios rating chart (together with Shaft).

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| That last scene was great. Started tearing up while Shizuka was reading her lines and lost it when Aoi started crying. So many feels ;______; |
 |
| Easily the best episode of the series so far. I was wondering how they could get Sakaki into the production so close to the end so I'm very impressed by the script of the episode. The perfect blend of humour, drama and tears. |

| So glad that Zuka finally got a role |

| Now that the show is so close to ending, I've come to realize just how much I like it. I really thought it was going to end up being one of those ones I watch, rate average, and then don't think about again afterwards but now it's probably up there in my favourites. I really hope there'll be a season two or at least a little 2-3 episode OVA arc or something. pakoko said: This. Shigatsu was obviously going to be sad; Shirobako came out of nowhere, and it managed to get all the girls to work on an anime together in a roundabout, though fairly realistic, way.Definitely choked up harder seeing Oi-Chan's tears than seeing the last episode of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. I could totally understand why Miyamori would cry so much and the emotions didn't feel fake at all. Shizuka getting a voice role was just the perfect way to end the whole miscommunication fiasco between the studio and the author. Not only are the viewers relieved to see the show back on track, viewers are also relieved that one of our beloved protagonists finally became a step closer to her dream after not having much success throughout twenty episodes of this show. 11/10 |
 |
| Nice ending to Aerial Girls :) And when Aoi cried... ;_; |
| So it wasn't Nogame who wan no game but it was the editor or was no game. Well he wasn't really fir for the job trying to shift his responsibilities elsewhere. I wasn't surprised that Nogame and the director worked things out so quickly, since the fact that the never met was the problem. It was nice to see that they gave each other ideas to work with, is the boss would say it was a win win situation. |
| That annoying editor finally got what he deserved. Dunno how much blame the other editors had, but at least the worst offender was removed. The scene was funny, a bit fantastic but I supposed what we saw is what Miyamori was imagining while waiting. Skullcrusher said: The unexpected factor plays an important role.

rsc-pl said: And last scene was much more moving than whole last Shigatsu episodes. The feelings were just real and honest. 5/5 and probably 10/10. I agree. that was so natural and unexpected that I almost shed manly tears on how surreal, subtle yet emotional it was. Definitely worth the anticipation that Shizuka will get a role |
| This was a beautiful episode. I know I always said previously "this episode is now my personal favorite" but damn, this one is just on a whole new level. Everything was just handled so well, I was astonished. From the director's super cool epic badass cowboy entry to the ending, where Zuka finally gets a role and Aoi starts crying. I was moved on so many levels. This show is definitely an all time favorite for me. NihonFalcom said: Cried rivers there ;_; 10/10 would cry again. One of the most emotionally impactful scene I've seen in anime, on par, if not better, than my favorite scenes. |
| Henna Hanashi finally got what he deserves!!! Dat Hadou belly XD Henna Hanashi JANAI!!! Turns out Nogame's a bro :D I guess I understand why Nogame-sensei is so persistent seeing how his previous series turned out ^^; Like the guy. Dat Bromance with Kinoshita was awesome :3 It was quite ridiculous how quickly he replied though <_< The Dramatic cowboy exit from the car Kantoku had with the Old American OST was so cool and hilarious with all dem belly attacks XD Zuka getting a new character's role and an imouto's as that was awesome!! Oi-chan's teary face was so kawaiii <3 |
 |
| Zuka got role~! I couldn't stop crying and I still can't... I so happy for her! Finally! I thought she will be only one who will be left out... SO HAPPY! Aoi's reaction - basically me Really, all girls have parts in this anime. Just. Right. In. The. Kokoro. Also... I almost fainted when I heard Nogame's voice. I was really curious what kind of mangaka he is xD Really like his talk with Kantoku. Really love this episode :) One more time - ZUKA, OMETETOO! |
    |
| Aaaw that made me cry too!!! I'm so happy she finally gets to play a role :D |

I planned give this series 7/10, I usually don't rate series based on final episodes, but... this comment and yeah... That episode give more feelings than final episode of Shigatsu... |

| That episode was such a masterpiece. Suspenseful, funny and moving. Everything was here. Seriously, I can't believe how better this series is getting with each new episode. |
| Best episode of the series 10/10 I loved how she hid behind the book |

clannadlover said: Imagine though her happiness and relief that her friend finally took the first step, that simple and honest emotion of joy for someone else other than you. Miyamori, in this one simple performance, easily becomes one of my fave heroine's ever. It was definitely one of the most honest and natural reactions I've seen recently in anime. Starting right from Aoi's surprised and kind of dumbfounded expression at seeing Shizuka, I felt like I was in Aoi's shoes. I cried so hard seeing Aoi's expression change throughout the scene, and especially at the end. Also that last line from Lucy pretty much mirrors Shizuka's current situation. Pallando said: Easily the best episode of the series so far. I was wondering how they could get Sakaki into the production so close to the end so I'm very impressed by the script of the episode. The perfect blend of humour, drama and tears. Agreed! And this is how you properly fit in comedy and drama together in a single episode without interrupting the flow. Granted, the show was more comedy than anything to begin with, so we're not totally weirded out by the ridiculousness of Kinoshita's belly power techniques, but I think they built up the tone very well throughout the episode. It went from dire situation, to comedic showdown, to inspirational resolution (between Kinoshita and Nogame), to touching scene at the end with Shizuka. And I love that feeling of satisfaction that we (or I) got when Nogame knocked down the editor with his "HEN NA HANASHI JANAI!!!" Sakurai was a fitting choice for the role. Nogame-sensei is a pretty chill dude, really enjoyed the scene where he and Kinoshita talk it out about the ending, and how Nogame himself felt "hopeful and excited" working on his story with someone else. Part of it has to do with how well Kinoshita could change his view on the meaning of the story when he heard what the Thrid Aerial Squad meant to Nogame. |
| My favorite episode so far... How the Director fought his way to the creator was just so stupid that it actually was hilarious lol and aaaaawwwwwww that end really moved me when Aoi had to cry that Shizuka finally got her role and now all five of them worked on the same show like they dreamed about in the beginning |
| Perfect. Just perfect. Like Tingy above wrote, it's one of the most honest and natural reactions I've seen in anime where things generally get blown a bit out of proportion for dramatic effect. This was just right. After seeing Shizuka struggle for 22 episodes, her best friend gets to see her come closer to her dream and cannot hold back the tears. |

| The fight scene was absolutely hilarious! Omg zuka finally gets a scene, myamori crying nearly made me lose it too :( This series has been getting better and better every episode, definitely hoping for a season 2 announcement next week. |
pakoko said: Definitely choked up harder seeing Oi-Chan's tears than seeing the last episode of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. Same here! Shigatsu was sad for sure, but didn't have the waterworks going the way that last Shirobako scene did. Every time I rewatch Zuka and Aoi at the end, I start crying all over again. :') |
|
| An epic battle between the director and the creator (I can tell conflict like that must be hard) The girls are finally in a produced anime together as well even I kinda knew they would, I couldn't feel anymore happy for them!  This scene in particular hit me a little to much on the feels too. 5/5 |
 |
This show is without a doubt the best anime of the current season. Though you cannot see me, there flows true tears of happiness from both sides of the screen, Aoi. |
 |
| The ending got to me big time. I'm so happy for Zuka. ;_; About damn time. She deserves it! Laughed at all the Street Fighter references in this episode. Just a great episode in general. |
| The moment when Zuka-chan FINALLY got a role in the show. Miyamori's tears pretty much sum up how most of us feel. It's ok Aoi, cry all you want, we are here for you. Zuka getting rejected multiple times finally gets to end show with a bang.  Chubby guy pulling a Kirito as he goes to meat Noragame. Evades all those gold balls, KIRITO style xD |
 |
| Best episode by far! The director was surprisingly bad-ass in his cowboy get-up, fighting his way to the top like a boss! I'm glad that we get to meet the author at last. Putting their ideals together for the best outcome for TAG, the two eventually agree with each other with an ending that they both approve of. Also glad to see the useless agent getting put in his place too! >D But the best part was that Shizuka FINALLY got to be part of the show at last. The realisation of this fact overwhelmed Miyamori and cried. This alone made me shed tears too. T_T Let's hope the final episode wraps up this great anime in style! =D |
| *slow clap* Second season,please. And aldo a season or two of actual aerial girls squad anime. |
| That last scene was just beautiful. |
| Wow, there are so many awesome episodes this week! Kantoku's meeting with Nogame-san was amazing. I had to laugh tears when they used Street Fighter references, like Hadoken and Shoryuken XD And I'm glad Nogame and Kantoku get on pretty well for the first time seeing each other. That was amazing. I'm also glad that the production of the last episode went smoothly. I think nobody expected that Zuka-chan got the role of Lucy. I was so touched when she voiced her. And Miyamori's tears moved me so much, I even had to shed a tear. |
 |
| I watched this on my way home on the lightrail. Bad idea.... After the episode was over, I had the biggest smile on my face with watery eyes. That shouldn't have hit me as hard as it did considering how telegraphed everything was but I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. 10/10 |

| This is by far my favourite and best episode of Shirobako in my opinion. The scenes with Kinoshita entering the building was so entertaining, oh my goodness. I loved the whole cowboy outfit and music playing in the background. I laughed so hard when he used "Hadou-belly" and "Tatsumaki Snepuu-belly" - totally didn't expect those Street Fighter references. KINOSHITA'S SECRETLY RYU!!!111 The scene with Kinoshita and Nogame-sensei was also really great. I loved the end part where Zuka finally got a voice-acting role and Miyamori burst into tears, such a beautiful moment. 5/5 |
 |
| Finally!! Zuka got a role!! One of the best episodes of this series so far. The dialogue really matched her story :) |
