    Really shows how an anime is truly developed!

    If you watched Bakumon first on how a manga is developed, then watch this anime as a sequel to how an actual anime is made in a production studio. It's very interesting but also very intense to see what each role a person takes to make us audience wait for an anime to come out each week. I know a range of animes can be equally good or bad but you still have to give props to the people behind the scenes of the anime. It's not at all an easy task and Shirobako proves that well enough to wake you up with reality!

    Definitely watch this folks if you're thinking about doing animation as a career or are a curious cat like me to see how a anime is created!

    An unexpected downer..?

    What's better for an anime lover than a "behind the scenes" anime right? And regarding that only it was accurately good, which is why I gave it a considerably high rating..? In fact it was too detailed that I ended up getting confused over what was going on, who was doing what and why, and when did it happen... which brings me to my next point: too many characters and too much shallowness. It was so hard to keep track of people's names and jobs, and I needed more of a backstory to add some depth to the main characters, if not everyone else. There were many dragged episodes as well, so it got less exciting as time passed by.

    I really wish I was able to enjoy it though, it had the potential..

    Anime portrays the anime industry as such. Any lover of this entertainment should see this anime as a must, since it portrays the emotions, difficulties and viscissitudes of this world and what its creative world entails, from the approval of the manga or the original story to the delivery of the episode to the network that will broadcast it.

    I thank @Josafat for such a wise recommendation.

    • Trivia
      The title Shirobako refers to videos that are distributed to the production staff members prior to its release. These videos were at a time distributed as VHS tapes enclosed in white boxes and are still referred to as "white boxes" (thus the meaning of shirobako) despite the fact that the white enclosures are no longer in use. Complimenting the title, the DVD & Bluray releases also used this design.
