StevenHu said: Asada-san said: perhaps the name of their studio if they'd create one, or an anime title. anyway, this is getting really interesting. "Shirobako" means "white box" whilst the OP is called "Colourful Box"; I found that kind of interesting. I wonder if it is simply used as contrast or something else. All colours combined gives you white. The opposite happens in the light prism - you'll see the full rainbow when lit by white light. I think it supposed to mean that each team member as a colour adds to the team production, a white box. Corruption Robot Sadoka Mazoka totally made my day. Fits for Kyuubei so much xD |
| I definitely don't mind girl groups, and the one here is great. Cute, non-teenagers, and having (more) realistic problems. ^^ Hopefully the VA will get another chance in the near future. Tough competition she has. Oh crap, I wonder what happened at the end there. The assistant producer is so incompetent... |
| Totally loving this show! Love how the girls each have their own field of expertise, though it's kind of sad that the main girl doesn't think her Production skills are an expertise... ah well, she'll figure out soon enough that not everyone can do the things she's been doing to keep her episodes afloat. I am so gonna enjoy the next episode. That Tarou dude has been getting on my nerves for the past 4 episodes. I hate people with that blame everyone else but yourself attitude. I hope he messes up enough to either get his shit together or get fired altogether. |

Is it really? At the very least, I disagree that it is obvious. First off is that she Satou Rina didn't star in Sadoka Mazoka. Also she is voiced by Tamura Yukari for some reason whereas previous seiyuus referenced were voiced by their respective seiyuus. Animation ”Fight" is nothing else but "Fate", any Japanimation fan would guess that. First thing to come into my mind when I heard it was also Fate, which happens to be airing this season right now :D |
| That Shizuka screentime plays right into my weakness for redhead girls. The start of the episode was alright, and then it got better when the mother called and when Shizuka talked about her unfortunate event at the audition. I swear that if she continued talking about it a bit more when the friends were together, she would cry. ;( Great seiyuu work there, Haruka. |

| More Shizuka <3 |
| Interesting lines to be rehearsing on a train... Arguments over the air conditioning. Yup. Everyday event. Been there, done that. Rii-chan completely overwhelmed by the others. One day off and the whole thing's fallen apart when you get back... |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| This was a relatively slower episode compared to last week. That's not exactly a bad thing, though. One thing that I'm curious about though is, where is this heading? This doesn't seem to be the type of anime that will have a major over-arching story, so it makes me wonder how this show will continue. |
| Mean while in the States, non of that stuff happens regarding our cartoons. ;_ ; |
 |
| I think I can say that Shizuka and Ema are my favorites so far... It's nice to finally get to meet all five of the girls, and get them together. Even if it was mostly to drink which is something I don't really condone. But it happens! Shizuka practices for her erotic sounding audition on the train was a problem, but it was pretty comical still. The director is basically a manchild, but he's a manchild with the right idea, he wants things to be done right, in a way I can relate to him... |

That phone call was really sweet. And lol when her mother said that they did not understand the show but just watched for the ending credit. Haha. Parents. And yes, that mohawk guy is really messed up. They should really fire him already. Even his voice is annoying. |
| probably my least favorite episode thus far, mainly cause i just dont think the girls are all to entertaining talking together unlike everyone at the animation studio |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Practicing on the train made me laugh, decent episode. Shit is gonna hit the fan next ep xD |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |
| I like it, each time I watch it, I feel a little bit jealous of their line of work. |

| Aw, we should get to see more of the girls interact again, that was heart-warmingly adorable~ <3 That and I want more Zuka-chan~ |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| Zuka had a rough time at the Seiyuu audition The famouse competitor did Madoka, Non non Biyori and Ai something which was a nice reference Seeing the girls hanging out was nice, no drama inserted thankfully So much information about the anime production and it's getting better each episode |
| 5/5 The episode is slow in the narrative, but I think this is a fundamental and inevitable in the way of telling the story, but in the end does not leave disappointed if you look at the rest. The animations are good, well-made designs. The Costume Design is nice. The plot moves forward albeit slowly, finally coming on stage the other girls to complete the main cast. I do not think that there is also a lot to be disappointed, right? I look forward to the next episode to make me a hypothesis based on what is the history of anime, but I guess the main story will be the one to tell the professional growth and character of Aoi. |
 |
| Zuka-chan-senpai, ganbare! |
 |
| 0025 aaaa iiiii 7/10 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| LOL at the Nom Nom Biyori reference. The show is pretty slow but enjoyable. The people in the train gave that weird look because of Zuka's line practicing, she was making moaning sounds xD Miyamori shocked at the end of the episode because someone quit. |
 |
| A nice laid down episode to relax a bit since last episode was stressful enough. Zuka practicing on the train is kinda embarassing. I would never do that. |
| Shizuka's moans were pretty...inspiring. I think she should have taken that phonecall btw. |

| So much fun in this episode, good shit! I really need to watch this more often. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I just started watching this series yesterday and gotta say there so much depth to the anime lingo it makes it hard to understand..this episode when all the girls were drinking I related so much since I work also......something so fun about this episode seeing them release their stress from work....I just did that tonight haha. Anyways, this series is super growing on me..it feels like Servant x Servant but with a K-On! sorta feels to it. |
| 'if it ain't broken don't fix it.' I think that's what the story writers a the episodes are actually pretty nice and the overall pace doesn't change much. This is one solid series, it probably won't set the bar for new anime to come but what it will provide is constant entertainment(I hope) for two cours. It's O-K. |
 |
| Lol I shall refer him with Fried chicken director!! xD So, what happened in Zuka's audition? Aww, Aoi's parent T_T Sadoka Madoka, Mon Mon Biyori, Aipuri Dat references xD I really want to see Zuka in action I mean I want to become seiyuu too, I should learn more from her xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Very good so far. I like how it successfully concentrates on every character once in a while. |
| so the delicious brown/morena girl is actually a 3D animator/modeler good choice, and im so sorry for Miyamori since i heard being production assistant is like a clerical work and not much promotion on the anime industry so she really have to worry about her future |
| Aoi is totally waifu material. |
 |
| Solid daily life episode, quite liked to see them all together! |
 |
| The director is so fucking unreliable it's not even funny. Tarou's such a jackass and never gets shit done properly, I'm in awe that he hasnt been fired. |
| Seems like she screwed up that audition. |
 |
| ohhhhhhhhh boy i think i found another anime im gonna marathon :DDDDDDDDDDDD |
wow |
| awhh poor Zuka :'( I know that feel that moment when Aoi was talking with her mom on the phone was so nice. lolol jeez their anime production in high school... xD Mon Mon Biyori and Sadoka Mazoka lol |

| nice break from the previous episodes. |
| Jajaja what a way to start the episode when those suggestive lines of that redhead jajajja And the other guy wakes up all of the sudden jajaja xD At least this episode was not as stressful (good stress) as the past episode, so you could relax a little bit. It doesn't matter how of a pro somebody is as a VA, it's an audition, so if the voice of that VA doesn't suit the character, it's gonna be rejected. So, there's always chance. This episode had so many great lines like "Are they cute?", "Is my wife among them", "who turned off the A/C?" and the best of all "You can't do anime without a kid's heart" xD amazing. |
| Probably my favorite episode so far. Feels and light-heartedness and away from all that stress! :p Looks like we're back at it again next episode though. All because of the annoying faux hawk guy.. |
| After watching this episode, all I can say is: Kanpai! (o.o) |
 |
| At first I liked Shizuka moaning voice but when she cried after audition, I feel sorry for her :( I want to give her a hug T_T I can feel you director! You are the best chara in this show. When he said "If you are not child at heart, you cant make anime", I deeply moved by his words. I gave him a plus points for that. For those who watch anime are young at heart no matter how old you are. *repetitive nod* Among the 5 main MC, I like her voice who are still college student. 4.1/5 |
 |
| Another great episode, nice change of pace from the first three. I liked seeing the high school gang together and seeing more of Zuka, curious if she'll get the part after that one guys comment. But the scene after they watch the movie together where they all comment on the part of anime they're most interested and working in was kind of clumsy. I'm also appreciating the setting of the series more and more, I liked Miyamoto and Ema parting ways at the prettily animated subway station and yeah as others have commented Miyamoto is a fun drunk. The phone call from her parents was sweet too, especially laughed at the mom saying she just didn't understand the anime. I'm starting to kind of enjoy Taro and Miyamoto's interactions together not in a shipping kind of way more of just her thinly veiled hatred really amuses me. |
 |
You take one day off work, and when you come back everything's on fire. It's funny 'cause it's true. |
 |
| 4 episodes in and I still don't know the names of at least half the staff at MusaAni, but that's probably why I liked this episode a lot more than the previous episodes. Everything within this episode was much easier to keep track of. It was also probably because of that phone call Aoi got from her mom, which was actually really adorable. |
 |
| See,see. No one called it "total garbage" so yay. And the 3D girl....go away. Your kind is not wanted here. And half price lunches...i guess they got the animator wages right. |
