Anime supremacy!

No pun intended obviously. Are into animated movies? Or Anime as the title suggests? This is specific to Japanese animation, not just because it was produced there, but because of the topic of course. There are some interesting insights into the making of ... a behind the scenes look if you want to call it that ... but also interesting shot ... like one shots, but also how it edits and cuts to further the story.

The one shots are about characters and how they interact with each other ... then you also get the dialog, where you cut in between them ... both used depending on what the movie (director) is trying to tell us.

A lot of decision have to be made ... economically but also artistically ... the movie is shining a light on many of those ... and animates us to think about stuff I reckon ... yes I went there.

Everything is so omg can't explain how wonderful the movie was and how it was portrayed so beautifully and the essence and thrill so amusing a splendid movie indeed I recommend it so much! The movie contains such impact and such meaning to the point of tears. This is truly a master peace. My first impression was so out of relation to what the movie really is. Trust me it is and truly lovable! All the casts really did their parts and their acting was so maywash. When it comes to the visuals omg it was so beautiful and how the camera works in every scenario truly a director's applaud. This was a top notch movie! Please do consider watching it T v T !!!

Don't forget to watch the post credits scene.

As someone who has experienced the difficult line between producing "art" and "entertainment", I felt the storylines of the primary and secondary characters in this film were mostly realistic. The director Oji (male) and the producer Yukishiro (male) were the weakest characters, but it's understandable as the spotlight for this film are the female characters, and I feel they truly shine.

I liked how they showed what life can be like when working overtime in the creative industry - sometimes it's an absolute nightmare with rework and sometimes you feel like you're part of something much greater than you.

I also like that most characters' struggles felt relatable. The plot left me guessing how things would turn out right up to the end.

I already liked the anime TV series, "Shirobako", which is also about the anime industry and felt this film was one level better due to the competition between the two studios.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that Tsujimura Mizuki, the author of Lonely Castle in the Mirror (I felt the book was much better than the anime) was also a writer for this film.
