Shirobako

Simply because it works with her name. Even if she doesn't have cat like qualities herself the fact part of her name nearly looks like Nya is enough to give her that nickname. Think about it people get nicknames all the time that don't exactly fit their personalities but just happen to work really well with their names.

 

im amazed at the quality at which pa works is making this show but im mostly amazed as to how they didnt fu** it up yet like they usually do *cough* *cough* Glasslip *cough* *cough* RDG *cough* *cough*

 

"Usually do" is kind of harsh since they've made more than just two other shows in the past and apparently those are regarded as bad even by P.A. fans.

Also I think the reason this is so good is because they are litterally experts on the subject matter. This is about the life of animation studios so they already know everything they need to know. They just need to write it in an entertaining way and they are done. Because the thing that makes this show good is how real it feels. While the drama is clearly played up a little at times I could totally see these situations and these people being in the real world and the level to which this feels life like is more than you normally see.

Again even the characters I hate feel extremely realistic to the point I can't say they don't belong in the show.

 

ok fine but its still possible for them to mess up the show so i still say be on your guard, i wasnt on my guard now im not sure if i should finish samurai flamenco (manglobe) it is now so.......Kamen Rider

 

At this point I don't think the show could be anything worse than "okay". meaning even if it ends disappointingly it will only drag the show down to okay. You'd pretty much have to try to screw up to have an endings bad enough to make this show bad just with that alone.

 

i say having an unfulfilling ending can still ruin it like Genshiken 2 it ended with no ending which was good but it skipped a major part in the manga that they referance in Nidaime, having a show drag on is bad but its still watchable like Rurouni Kenshin so like you said that would be ok; but then think about it based on where the show is you can guess its going to end like Hanasaku Iroha or a fastforward since having a S2 is very unlikely

 

Fair enough then. I was confused.

In regards to this current discussion, I'd be happy for it to be of "usual" standard. Angel Beats! and Another, anyone?~

 

Am I the only one who thought during this episode " Miyamori's hallucinations are getting worse!"

 

I like the dolls at times because they are more interesting than if Miyamori was just talking to herself. Because that is essentially what is happening at those moments she's just thinking about stuff and instead of listening to those thoughts and watching her sit there we have the two dolls discuss it. Plus it's a convenient place to put explanation for that terms mean since everyone in the industry would generally know them and thus not need them explained.

But that scene was just full on "She is clearly reacting to it meaning they are saying she is legit hearing and seeing this". I guess they added stuff like this in to squeeze in some of that P.A. animation you love so much (since the normal show rarely takes advanatge of it) because I can't think of any other reason for anything besides the dolls to exist.

 

Time to say the following: TWIST

 

Honestly this kind of feels like a rehash. We already did the "Author acts like a total dick by calling for a redo after all the work is already done" so why again? I honestly could not hate this author or that fucking editor any more than I do now because of how they just fuck everyone over and don't seem to even care. I know we need some kind of crisis for the last couple episodes but doing this just feels a tad lazy. I would have liked something like "Fire destroyed their work" or "Author accused of plagerism stalling all projects related to it" or something like that.

It's not enough to ruin the whole series but it's making it feel like it's going to end on a lower note than I had hoped.

 

Oh I do blame that editor alot. But this takes place over months and it wouldn't kill the author to check in himself to see how things are going. Unless he is just the most ignorant person alive he has to realize what a joke his editor is and thus should know he's probably not keeping him updated properly. So while I blame the editor I also blame the author a bit to for not fixing the situation himself.

Also while I agree that the author has a right to complain about the character designs and Original ending I also think if you wait months into production to say anything you lose the right to complain. It's like in school if you turn homework in late with a strict teacher. Sure you did it and technically have the right to turn it in but you missed the cut off date so too bad so sad you get a zero. Same thing here especially since being late with his feedback and then saying "no good" throws their schedule completely off. If we give the author the benefit of the doubt maybe he doesn't know he's being such a tyranical slave driving ass. But ignorance doesn't give him the right to throw everything into a mess it only means he still might be a nice guy.

I didn't mean a super big fire. just like something happen to the cuts and voice acting data for the last episode forcing a rush to fix the last episode. Because even if the stakes are higher it's still the exact same problem as before with the author calling NG after the work is pretty much done.

I agree with you on that last bit though. I still dislike both of them but I was kind of happy for them too. Just a bit.

 

Okay so I haven't watched this in a while so I must ask this. Is Manager-san still relevant?

 

My reaction to this episode:

Spoiler

DID THE DIRECTOR MET CHUCK NORRIS OR WATCHED A LOT OF CHUCK NORRIS RELATED MEDIA OR WHAT HAPPENED? HE JUST WENT BADASS MODE WHEN GOING THRU THE BUILDING

 

Doesn't matter. I like my sexy cougars.
