As a fan of P.A Works both as a studio and as a company, I must say this show features many of the studio's own personal values which is why I belive this is one of the best shows P.A has put out there.
Story:9/10
The story features five young adult girls working in the tourism board of a small rural town trying to revive both the town and the local tourism. It has this Shirobako thing, but here is where P.A portrays its own values the most. The studio is one of fewest who doesn't have their headquarters in Tokyo, their headquarters is located in Nanto
...
a rural town with arround 50,000 inhabitants. What i'm saying is the references for the show come directly from their own daily lives in the town, the wood carving district, the temples, festivals everything has a relation to Nanto. It's like a declaration of why they love their town. For more information i'd likie to reccomend Koitabi: True Tours Nanto, that is an anime P.A has made especially to show the tourism in Nanto, and also the youtube channel The Canipa Effect that has a execelent video about the studio (and it's where i got most of this info).
Art:9/10
The background art and the character designs are great just what you would expect from P.A Works. The details, colors and styles of the characters clothes are amazing.
Sound:8/10
The Soundtracks fits well the atmosphere set by the show, as well both the openings and endings performed by (K)NoW_NAME and the outstanding inserted song on Ep7 -thyme- that made me shed a tear or two.
Characters:10/10
The characters are awesome, their personalites and strengths are well portraied, and their growth from the beggining to the end of the show is so visible. Also the way they learn things with each other from the experiences they have during the show or that they had during their lives, makes you wanna cheer for their sucess all the way. Also if you like strong female characters this show has plenty of them.
Enjoyment:10/10 - Overall 9/10
For me its a great and relaxing show to watch, just the right ammount of things that make a great and enjoyable slice of life anime with something more than just routine our cute girls doing cute stuff (not that I have a problem with that). For people who like more action based shows this one may feel a little boring but for the people who are looking for a great slice of life, this one can surely fill your quota.
