Main Description
Five high-school girls from their school's Animation Club vow to enter the world of anime production and one day make the show of their dreams together. Fast-forward two and a half years, and they all must contend with the stress, limited career opportunities, and tight deadlines of the anime industry, while contending with the outsize (yet strangely believable) personalities that make up their studio Musashino Animation. Stunt driving may also be involved.
Note that the two OVA bonus episodes are episodes of the two series that the fictitious Musashino Animation is making over the course of the show.

Personal Opinions
StandardVC10
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.
