I made it 8 eps into Shirobako before I dropped it.

My primary complaint (besides Tarou's ungodly amounts of screentime) was how poor the show was at actually describing what goes on in the industry. For instance, one of the early plot points was that the director was being a douche. Production was being held up since he was indecisive and wasn't finishing storyboards. Wow, that actually sounds like a real life problem! Their solution? Lock him up in a cage. Thanks for your valuable insight.

There was also a bafflingly large amount of time spent on production. It was as if the other girls didn't even matter in the context of the plot.

At least Bakuman taught me some amusing things. Reverse-foreshadowing comes to mind.

Tonari as in Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun? That was a solid one. Ao Haru Ride is sol/romance but it has plenty of drama. Most of the romance stuff I am reading right now have fantasy elements and/or harem elements too like Jitsu wa Watashi Wa or Yamada-kun (only really good 1st 100 or so chapters).

I have stuff like Suki tte Ii na yo, Obaka-chan, Tonari no Kashiwagi-san on my to do list though.

Two new Aquarion things announced. I didn't think it was popular enough for a new series, but apparently its getting both a new series and a new OVA.

The new series is called Aquarion Logos:

I know nothing about the plot of the new TV Series, other than the new Aquarion in it is the worst Aquarion design yet.

The new OVA is... I can't figure out wtf its called:

It seems like some Genesis of Aquarion vs Aquarion EVOL thing. Like, they are actually fighting, and those are characters from both anime together in there. Looks like they are making an actual crossover OVA. Haven't seen one of these in a while.

Omfg that shirobako. Was such a great episode. + Show Spoiler +

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.
