| I am currently on episode 3 but i am having a super hard time finishing the episode. There are just too many characters for me to remember and honestly i dont care much about them. I started watching it because it thought it would be much like Bakuman. But so far it has been nothing like it. Granted Bakuman was slow AF in the beginning and season 1 kinda blows but the other 2 seasons are fucking awesome. So what i am asking is does Shirobako change much over time like Bakuman did? Will there be alot more drama or any romance as time goes on? Or are the first 3 eps more or less a fair presentation of what the entire show is like? |

| It sure as hell gets better. I think that they do a superb job keeping track of each character and making us care about them. The exploits of the main 5, most of them anyway, are especially charming, both in terms of their personal journey, and their interactions with the industry at large.

| It definitely get better. The first few episodes are merely introduction for the whole show. I don't encourage you to compare it with Bakuman. Those two shows are completely different and imo, bakuman is nothing as good as shirobako. |
| Yes, it does. It's the very definition of a slow-burner, it starts off seeming rather pointless, but every episode that comes is just a little bit better than the previous one, until everything is working brilliantly. |
| Nope. It's just as boring all the way through. |
Yeah thats what i thought. I dropped it a while ago. Just didnt catch my interest. Nice to see a fellow northerner here on MAL btw. It is not often that i meet one. |

| It's not boring in the slightest. Like wat. |
 |
| I love Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! and Bakuman, I'm not sure if I gonna like this.. the rating is so high though. |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| I loved Bakuman and started watching this. I also watched 3 episodes and started looking if people have same problems as me, lol. To me it was just exhausting to watch, constant deadlines imposed upon characters and tight schedule, I felt like doing overtime at work watching this. I will continue though, maybe it will chill a little. |
| Topics like this cringe the life out of my Body. I don't know this anime but it has a high overall Raiting, so maybe it just doesn't hit your taste. Or maybe this show is really bad, but who can actually give a real answer to this? Half of people will Say NO, the other half Yes. |

I don't dislike it and for the few eps I've seen it seems like a really well made show, I refuse to drop it cause I think I'll be rewarded by watching it to the end. But at the time I was often looking for pretty much contrary soothing anime to help me wind down, not anime filled with worklife stress and deadlines that remind me of work and stress me out. I could just go back to work for that. I loved Bakuman too and didn't feel the same thing from that show. |

Shirobako has plenty of soothing and light-hearted moments, especially in the later episodes. It's definitely not all about the stress-inducing worklife as you seem to be implying. And even the rather serious and dramatic scenes have an underlying sense of optimism. |

| What ive noticed with Shirobako with viewers is that if you like the anime, then youll LOVE the anime While the other thing ive noticed with Shirobako is that if you dont love the anime, then youll simply not care at all about what is happening in the anime and be bored and uninterested. This is where I feel that I am with this anime. Dont get me wrong, Shirobako had its positive moments that even I cared for = There were some sentimental moments that were nice, like the drawing girl MC and her struggles, and the redhair girl finally getting a voice acting job near the end of the anime, and I also liked the episode where they were picking voice actors for each character role. But asides from this, nothing ever hooked me in about this anime. If I had to reason why Shirobako cant connect with many viewers its that its a bunch of pointless and unimportant side characters (not even uniimportant side characters in anime, more like background characters / NPC), all of them getting together and all of them acting like the main characters, and that can turn many viewers off as the anime progresses. This anime should have been 10-13 episodes, instead of two-cours. Or do two seasons of 10-13 episodes. |
