A show with a lot of insider jokes, but very funny and clearly put together with both dedication and direct inspiration from real events. It's a large cast of characters, but their problems carry surprising emotional weight. Definitely worth checking out.
unpronounceable
This show is utterly fantastic. It does a great job of conveying how hard making anime is, the struggles between the different production teams, and the pressure on the production as a whole, while somehow maintaining a sense of optimism about the whole ordeal.
While the show follows the studio, and the main 5, when I came away from the show, I saw it as being about the trials and tribulations of young professionals entering the work force. I've seen others that felt that the main point of the show was about the struggles inherent in any creative industry. I think that really speaks to the strength of the show: that for how shallow it could be, there's enough there to draw your own meaning.
