But usually, trying to take so many different things and putting a number on them doesn't seem to work out so well imo. Not to mention, everyone has different priorities.
omg, the gen urobuchi, Nasu, narita, and other person self-insert novel made over a table top rpg. I'm so excited for that.
Gakkou Gurashi sounds funny shirayuki-hime sounds like akatsuki no yona I wonder if godeater will have normal ufotable budget. maybe i will watch ilya if i ever get to watching the first season (prob not)
Hmm the author is taking it back to childhood story and promise angle. Hopefully the next few chapters fills in some of the blanks of what that all means.

They give you a lighthearted perspective on the production of anime. I enjoy it quite a lot.
Huge rebound from Glasslip imo. This is prolly my fav PA Works show yet.
The director in the cowboy getup and kicking ass at the book company was great. And the whole shizuka part was perfect.
I like shirobako for a few reasons. First is the characters, the main girls all have their good points that i really like. The characters i thought i wouldn't like I ended up really liking as it went further on (the director mainly). Second is the concept. It's super interesting to learn some of what goes into making an anime. Third is the pacing. Everything seems to be going good then something terrible happens and everything feels so hectic insane with the feeling that they'll never successfully complete what they're trying to do, and then when everything falls into place and it works out, they do it in a way that doesn't seem like just some bullshit and actually make me feel intense joy for them having gotten everything done. And it's never one of those, you knew all along everything would work out. Even though it does work out (or has so far), there's still that nagging doubt that this time everything will come crashing down.
I've laughed a lot, I've cried a bit, I've been worried, and elated. This show hits me in so many different ways it's hard to explain it.
I thought the atmosphere, animation and sound during Onna's figure skating were stunning. Seems like Decim learned a lot and will judge her next time. I'm curious if he is going to judge himself together with her. Seeing how Ginti jugded the other girl into the void, intertwined with the soul of the other guy, I could imagine that some changes to judging in general might come up in the future.

Going purely by animes it feels like German is something they (Japanese) learn at school, lol. I'm sure it isn't so though.
EDIT: Though wiki says it's the 3rd most spoken foreign language for them.
I also read it is often used when they need a hard, cold, mature, cruel etc. language. That's why they are using it in animes like Hellsing, SnK and so on. Doesn't make sense for Shirobako though. Also, I'm really surprised everytime foreigners say how hard german sounds. For me, other languages sound much harder but that's probably because we are accustomed to the sound. It's also funny because I think german is a beautiful language in regards to its fluid possibilities of building descriptors and coherence into sentences.

I think German is pretty hard grammatically, not only for foreign people. Though just by looking at languages, Finnish gives me a headache.
