Ema's cuteness is a miracle of the prefecture.
Ema's cuteness is a miracle of 7/23 of Tokyo's districts.
Best girl.
This show is way too enjoyable despite being a behind the scenes look at what goes on inside an anime studio.
I wanna give Ema a hot meal to come home to every day.
>>117544488
Maybe we'll see it in the Exodus OVA.
Bully, fuck in one night stand, Marry and have 2.5 children together
>>117544971
Because it's simultaneously a behind the scenes look at what goes on in the life of an attractive and single early-20's adult woman
Best cat.
Is there a .webm of Ema playing with the cat. Kawaii as fuck.

Has Ema never seen a fucking cat before?
>>117545124
She wasn't playing with it, she was groping it immensely.
>>117545392
>>117545431
But anon, that's Midori, not Ema.
Ema's back at the office, thinking of cats.
>>117545438
Introverted girl from a strict and extremely conservative old-style family with a domineering father. I'd gather the only time she ever saw a cat was cooked on her dinnerplate.
>>117545537

>>117545082
I love their Asian glow, especially the one on Zuka.
Zuka and Midori seem like they'd be fun to drink with, Oi-chan would get touchy feely.

Oi-chan would go bully mode, and bully you into her bed.

>>117544726
I've been away for half a year or so. Is this the third season of Nagi no Asukara?
>>117545816
Because it's just like real life.
Zuka doujins when?
>>117545654
Midori seems like she'd be tonnes of fun to drink with and have silly stupid conversations.
I'd have trouble keeping up with Zuka, she seems to be so high-energy. I bet she's a dancer.
Oi-chan would take the initiative so hard you'd need to wear a helmet. It might be dangerous for your pelvic bones to be around a drunk Oi-chan when she's wearing herspecial shampoo
>>117545853
>Zuka gets a role in an ecchi harem anime and while trying to improve her abilities she ends up acting out some parts with one of the producers.
My doughnut!
>>117545945
Your what?
>>117545721
Better rescue her from suicide first.
>>117544726
I wonder what cuteness would come if Segawa and Goth-loli-sama were added.
>>117545979
This kills the cat
Bitch, you stole it.
>>117546042
>stole
Copied anon, copied.
There's nothing wrong with copying another animator's doughnut
>>117545569
She didn't look like a cake at all.
>>117546078
Asian women only start to age when the menopause starts kicking in.
>>117545979
You will never be this cat.
[Mai uncontrollable boner for Twintails intensifies]
Wake up /a/, you need a job that hires easily even if you hate it. You can't have a dream job. They're all taken.
Finally an anime where I can relate to the characters. High school settings are making me sick.
>>117546074
But a copied doughnut will never taste as good as the original.
>>117546174
It's okay, you can develop your own style of doughnut eventually.
>>117546155
You can have a dream job, but only after going through some stupid jobs.
>>117546209
[existential screaming]
>>117546157
I know what you mean. While I'm not interested in doing animation, I can relate to Ema's frustrations. Sometimes you just want to git gud faster and you end up losing perspective.
This episode was actually pretty insightful.
>My tooth is hurting again
>But I can't go to the dentist...
>>117546157
Man i wish more shows would do college age shit.
>>117546209
You are now realizing that the reason her visit was so abrupt and short notice was that she had to take an emergency leave to narrowly avoid a total mental breakdown.
>>117546201
But time is the essence.
>>117546157
This, I wish more anime would deviate from those overused settings.
>>117546367
Too bad the core target demographic are all neets and college drop-outs.

Yep they've all done under 8 roles I think.
>>117546553
I have 27 years and have a fulfilling job in IT.
>>117546611
Her sister probably outearns most of Musashi animations because she's not in an industry that grossly underpays its workers.
>>117546665
Good for you, you don't mind being a drone.
>>117546553

Okay, then.
>>117546688
>>117546751
What is your job, anon? Other than whacking off to 2D characters trying their hardest doing a real job?
>>117546751
As fulfilling as an IT job can be.
>>117546800
please read before replying
>>117546553
But I am basically my own boss since I get to choose my own clients.
I'll probably open my own practice once I built up a significant client base and have enough of a nest egg to mitigate any financial risks.

>>117547554
We have her so that's all it matters. Her headphones are on sale too.
Saving animation!
I was thought it was neat that Sugie passed 'it' down to Oogasawara who passed it down to Iguchi who passed it down to Ema.
>>117547588
she is practically never shown
>>117547449
>>117547431

>>117547588Name of headphones?

>Oi-chan's Nee-san's vacation was to actually get away from her dead end job and now she had to return and suffer all over again
Why must you do this PA Works? ;_;
>>117547805
Animators usually die of illness or tiredness before they can breed. Yes, Ema won't reach the thirties.
>>117547854

>>117548146
What's with those stupid sleeves?
>>117548074
To be fair the animation business is pretty unforgiving in Japan.
>>117548201
You have no fashion sense, anon.

>>117548074
How about this
You don't work, you will never appear in the anime at all to begin with
>>117548172
Ghibli net income was 11 million USD last year, is the entire anime industry even a billion dollar industry?
>>117548074
It's a good thing I realized this early.
>>117548146
Those are cheap as fuck. Do people really use them for fucking studio work?
>>117548413
Any well made studio headphones can be used for studio work or casually.
No nee-san to dote on you. ;_;

If I wasn't watching the show, I would think this was a middle schooler.
>>117548588
>throwing money around
>>117548644
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought she looked way younger than... well, everyone.
Time to make more money soon, eh Kirito?
>>117548710
There's just a sort of desperate energy to her. Like she's throwing herself at fun as though her sanity depended on it.
It was kind of sad, really. Especially when you realize she had to visit her sister because she had no social life of her own to speak of and it was the only way to get real human contact.
>>117548588
Somebody, shoop a tooth out.
>>117548588
Why is their family so perfect? I want their charismatic genes.
>>117547732
My fucking uni years. Bloody good times.
>>117548943
I miss them.
>>117548588
I bet she lost self-esteem every time her mom talks about how proud she is about Aoi.
>>117548943
>Can't have Uni years at 25 now
>>117548964
Had this Slav friend that was real into Dost-chan while she was simultaneously slipping into nihilism, the exact opposite view of that guy. Made for hilarious conversations and existential dread to deal with nihilism sessions.
>>117548891
Their cheerfulness and optimism are just a farce
Deep down they are actually suffering.
>Nee-chan is struggling and hating on her dead end job as an OL
>slightest stress/things not going her way will cause Aoi to talk to herself and have mental disillusions of talking dolls
>>117549092
There's always grad school?
Except if you in a good grad program it's pretty much non-stop suffering.
Dammit.
>>117549179
vocational schools?
>>117549112
What if the sudden introduction of Dost-chan and Rii-chan's idealism is to serve as a counterpoint to the absurd nihilism of everyday existence?
Aoi sees you being idle.
>>117549204
Couldn't say, only have experience with BA/PHD things.
I thought audio engineering courses are easy to found?
>>117549046
I can only imagine
Working in that drab existential nightmare of an office, slowly dying inside while your parents priase your younger sister that's run off to the city to pursue her dreams
Think the grass must be so much greener every moment of every day your mind slowly rots in that grey block of a life
Finally snap, able to bear it no longer
Book time off and pack up to visit your sister in short notice
Absolutely everything you see and do while visiting just goes to show how, in every way shape in form, the grass is actually so much greener
Realize with a cool emptiness that the only thing you have over these wonderfully cheer and vibrant people is money, which now seems to weigh in your pocket like a black lump of coal, reminding you of the chances you threw away just to have a safe and steady supply of it.
All too soon, leave to return home, with the painful understanding that you're stepping out of colour and happiness only to return to pallid grey nothing, and that there's absolutely nothing you can ever do that will change that fact
This must be what the face of anguish looks like
>>117549377
Literally screaming internally
>>117549377
It's her fault for working at a job she doesn't enjoy.
>>117549335
Apparently the school of arts near me has horrible ratings offms
>>117549377
And guess what
The first thing your siater does to you is complain about how her friend have it hard for working something she actually enjoys.
>>117549377
You can tell the exact moment when her heart breaks and is filled with nothing but anguish and despair
>3 year time skip
>Tarou gets promoted and becomes Erika and Aoi's superior
How does think make you feel?
>>117549377
Don't worry, she'll get a position in the Shirobako's studio and be happy, right? R-Right, guys?
>>117549614
>Tarou gets promoted
Joke of the week right there.
>>117549614
It makes me feel like I should invent a machine that lets me enter the 2D universe and kill that faggot.
>>117549614
this will never happen
>>117549094
An old bud of mine in college always used to go out of his way to chat up homeless folks whenever we were out. I remember one time after a barhop he started talking to some shady looking old guy on the buss. The dude had a big, scraggly grey beard and looked like he must easily be 50. The 2 of them, my shitfaced friend and this total fucking stranger, end up chatting about Plato's Republic, which the old dude actually fucking had a copy on him, for like an hour long bus trip. Those 2 hit it off so hard we invited him along and ended up playing poker in a public park and talking about greek philosophy until sunrise
God I miss having friends
>>117549377
>tfw my sister is like this
I feel sorry for her. She's 38 and unmarried.
>>117549614
Think make me feel hurt in head
Think is hard
>>117549614
I want to punch his face so hard.
>>117549650
Then she realizes that the grass was not greener on the other side and moves back to the countryside within 3 months.
>>117549377
I found it really wonderful that there was so much understanding between those sisters in that scene with barely any words between them. This is storytelling at work.
>>117546174
>tfw I'm tearing up while watching chinese cartoon characters talk about their dreams
this reminds me of myself a few years ago.
>>117549614
>Tarou
>promoted
This is anime, not real life, anon. If Tarou even manages to stay employed over the next three years the only career change he'll get is being demoted from Production Assistant to Erika's bitch.Lucky bastard.
>>117550019
Those 2 are probably already fucking on the side, and are just keeping it private from the rest of the cast.
Top or bottom
>>117549377
Rewatching that scene, it must've taken literally every fibre of her being to not break down right fucking there. That silent moment of hesitation spoke a fucking novel.
>>117549948
This and Gargantia both talk about youngsters moving into society and facing the hardships of life. I cannot believe how Shirobako sends the message right compared to Gargantia.
>>117550093
Top, or bottom if she tops
>>117550093
Both are good, based Numakura.
>>117550093
C-can I have both?
>>117550110
I miss Gargantia.
>>117550093
I like top's look better but bottom's smug look and personality makes my dick diamonds.So, both I guess.
>>117549226
I want her to pop my testicles and look at me like that.
>D-Deito!?
>>117550132
This.
>>117550093
Both shit
>>117550248
>hfw you say yes
>>117550058
Tarou couldn't fuck a paper bag if he tried.
>>117550287
Back off, nerd.
>>117550093
Bottom has sexy adult charm. The best moments with any of the characters have been the ones that remind us of how adult they are, Iguchi is no different.
>>117550248
Putting aside which girl is the cutest or which girl is the best girl, she'd probably make the best girlfriend.
Wife, mother, sex-friend and whatever is up for debate.
Is working in a credit union better than being a banker?

>>117550486
Yuri is like T&A, it loosely permeates everything
>>117550457

>>117550093
Top is a virgin, bottom has had her share of dicks.
It's all in the eyes.
>>117550987
There will be no end to the suffering anon.
To be alive, to walk this earth; that's the real suffering right there.
Was she going to reveal the power level of the old man?
Old man, stronk.
>>117551048
>That one girl everybody knows, more average than your average geek, less attractive than your average girl. Gets a little attention from desperate guys and she fucks them to reassure herself. Don't be that girl.

Why's she so mean to the old man?
>>117545124

>>117551230
Yeah it is.
Also, Yamakan sure is charming there.

She's just an OL. She could be at any company and it would be the same depressing.

He keeps an image of Aoi in his wallet just to remind himself of how much he hates her.

Goth Loli-sama forgot to fix her chin.
>>117551607
Does he take it to the bathroom and sleep with on the other pillow?
>>117550357
It's more ethical if you are the type of person who cares about those things.
But let's be honest, she's a low level employee and low level employees are generally going to be treated similarly whether they are at banks or credit unions. It's not like she's an investment banker
Ponkan8 version of the all the girls when?

>>117552125
you don't always look good in selfies
>>117551379
She can't relate to old man.
So he'll watch her from the shadows. He'll take her abuse, because he can handle it.
He's the studio's dark knight.
What a bitch.

Somebody's knowledge of Japanese and Japanese culture is worse than they think it is.
Anon, what's your number?
>>117552974
He's an old man, she's a cute girl, you expect him to call him Iguchi-chan? That'd just sound perverted at the worst, and Iguchi-san would imply they're even roughly on the same level, when he's much much older and much more experienced. Kun is a polite way of addressing her in this case, it neither is overly respectful nor is indicating he sees her as lesser or less capable because she's a woman or because she's younger.
I feel Shirobako is the kind of show I have to rewatch twice to get everything.

Marry = Blue
>>117554407
Bully all, sex all, marry Oi.
>>117553732
This greatly amuses me.
>>117545845
When did that shit get a second season in the first place?
>>117547275
>people in the anime industry can't retire even if they wanted to
>>117555298
look at jii-san
This show suffers from boring shit. Dropped until there's Goth Loli-sama episode.
>>117555424
See you next week.
>>117555576
The two faces on the right are way too arousing
Why are so many girls in this show so great
>>117555663
Because they aren't completly designed after the typical archetype formula.
>Nabe-P is special
How awesome of a Producer is this guy?
>>117555774
>EH MAJI
Oi chan makes the best faces.
>>117555872
Loved that part. He collected himself not a second after that.
as confectioner I disliked the anti confectionery and credit union propaganda.
>>117555946
>you will never play with a cat with ema
>>117556140
>>117555979
Shirobako is clearly in the pocket of Big Banks and Big Pastry Makers, trying to run credit unions and pop & mom confectioneries out of business.
>>117545082
Have there ever been three girls so perfect?
>>117545082
Ignore blue
Bully blonde
Marry red
Fuck and have 2.5 children with blonde behind red's back
What a surprise that a show about making anime can be that refreshing and free of otaku-selfinserting.
>>117556371
I self-insert as Tarou
>>117556392
Tarou is a great character after all.
>>117556371
I self insert as Kao-chan neesan so I can go on a date with Dost and pressure her into compensated dating
>>117556371
>Not self-inserting as multiple characters within an anime, even little girls
You're limiting yourself.
>>117556371
I self-insert as the audio girl.
>>117556371
i want to self insert into aoi-chan's anus
>>117556330
But how many kids will you have with Zuka
>>117556472
I would like crazy amounts of sex with you while you wear the headphones
Wanting to fuck Aoi isn't noteworthy, it's natural.
>>117556519
what the hell, I am a lesbian
>>117556597
I want Oi-chan-sempai to brutalize my ass
>>117556371
I can easily self insert as Ema
Hypothetically, what would it I mean if I had a dream where Iturn into Aoi and get down on my knees with my ass pointed at a mirror and watch myself fingering my pussy.
>>117548074
But what about all the cute petite and goth loli coworkers?
>>117556614
I want to insert myself into Ema.
Tenderly. Whileholding hands
>>117556806
I want that too.
>>117556806
While you tell her how she's worthless and how her daddy was right all along?
>>117556781
Is there a proper name for these promotional images? Key visuals?
>>117556499

>>117556781

Shit nigga what are you doing?

>>117557076
Beautiful she is.
>Segawa this episode
Her clothing was a lot more modest than usual. Disappointing.
>>117556851
no that would be bullying
>>117557171
You aren't allowed to sexualize a 40 years old key animator anyway.
>>117557200
It's role playing, anon.
>>117557226
Nigga try and stop me.
>>117557226
I will sexualize every character in this show and there is nothing you can do about it.
>>117557271
fatalpulse plz go back to drawing your shit.
>>117557300
Fatapulse only has it out for Yano and Ema, anon

>A Fatalpulse doujin based on this
I just checked and it looks like my dick is not prepared.
>>117557329
thats two girls too many
>>117557411
Don't call me names.
>>117557329
for now
>>117556851
No. I'd tell her that she is a good girl, gifted artist, and a beautiful person who deserves to have all of her dreams come true.
What kind of sick fuck do you take me for?
>>117551230
>dat tomboy in the foreground
I guess CG is a magnet for delicious tomboys.
>>117557534
>What kind of sick fuck do you take me for?
You'll come around.
How did PA Works go from Glasslip to this masterpiece?
>random tires
>>117557226
Are Ogasawara and Iguchi older than Segawa since they have the senior positions?
>>117557613
Is CG going to get lynched next episode? What's the tires for?
>>117557606
It's strange, they made both one of the worst and one of the best anime this year.
>>117557640
No. Satou is animation director and childhood friend of Sagawa.
She just picked the less stessful life of a freelancer.
>>117557688
>>117557606
It's like completly different staff were making the two shows.
>>117557534
I'd tell her that no matter how hard she tries, it doesn't mean that things will work out. That she might not have any talent, or any hope.
But that despite that, I'd love her any ways and that as long she's willing to try, I'd be willing to support her no matter how many seasons seem to pass. That I'd be ready to celebrate her success and pick her up from her failures.
YOUR MOVE.
>>117556371
>self inserting
wait, you mean people actually do this?
I thought it was just an /a/ inside joke for the past few years...
>>117557722
>>117557534
You guys are weird, I just want to tie her up.
>>117557688
>>117557722
>>117557746
I want to tie her up and spit on her face and rub out any last remains of self-esteem that she may have had left.
Lovingly of course
>>117557589I already am a sick fuck too be completely honest. Ema is just 2pure4me so I feel an overwhelming desire to protect and make her happy rather than my usual inclination to degrade and defile.Shit sucks.
>>117557534
>>117557722
you are the light that shines in this darkness.
One of my favorite shows this season.
>>117557534
>>117557722
>>117557821
Based on my knowledge of shoujo conventions, the bad boy that treats her like shit wins. Congrats on the Emabowl man.
>>117558025
Bad boys always win
>>117557919
I want to pick it up but I always end up dropping SoL shows.
>>117557722
>That she might not have any talent, or any hope.
Your joking right? She's already got her foot in the door as it is and her superiors and co-workers have stated on numerous occasions that she has serious talent/potential. We're well and truly past the point of questioning whether or not Ema has the necessary talent, it's simply a matter of refining her skills and improving her output.
Also,she's not real so none of this really matters.
>>117547275
Ema...
>>117558025
But I wanted to win the Dost-bowl. Can I trade in my trophy?
>>117558157
Too late, she's mine
>into Russian literature
disgusting
>>117558157
Sorry bud, waifus can't be returned except in the case of Japanese cold or unlikely bus accidents.
>>117558157
>>117558204
DON'T YOU GET ANY IDEAS M8
>>117558204
She's going to be perpetually stressed, exhausted, and starving. Oh, and she commutes to work on a bike.
I give it two weeks before the Japanese cold makes her swerve her bike into a truck.
>>117558204
>>117558271
>>117558275
See you next week!

Can I have my Dost-chan now? I'll take an Aoi if I can't swing that.
>>117558330
That's not what he said at all, next time wipe the cum out of your eyes before you post.
Ri chan's face when she can never meet Dost kun. ;_;
>>117558621
He was a raging asshole, she's better off this way.
>>117558656
Gulags will do that to a man
>>117553132
Christmas cake girls are one of my biggest fetish.We need more cakes in the anime.
Holy shit, the implication of the mixer conversation.
So the credit union organizes a mixer between single, young woman employees and married men, so they could develop business connections, right?
Holy shit that's called whoring your employee and force them to please old men for money.
>>117558720
It's nice to see cakes that aren't out of control oedipus fantasies on legs for a change.
>>117558866
The idea is that the 'mixer' is really just an intercompany social. The company has no real stake in hooking up its employees, they just call it a mixer to get their desperate single employees to go to it out of false hope. Even the ones that know it's a glorified social and is going to be full of married folk are still going to go, because it's literally the only chance to 'mix' they have.
And that's just utterly pathetic.
>>117558951
Someone needs to make Tinder for 2d Christmas cakes
>>117558986
A what?
>>117558993
GPS based hook-up app
>knowing the skytree's height is common sense
>the comment about how Aoi should eat fancier snacks
>comment about how tokyo doesn't look much too different with her hometown
Why is the sister so sad? Only an excited tourist would actually care about the height of a tower. And she also project herself to Aoi, thinking that unlike herself, city girls should act like how she thought city girls should be.
>>117558570
Not that anon but he kind of does actually. He just dresses it up nicely.
>There's a good chance you will fail no matter hard you try but it's okay because I will support you unconditionally while you waste time chasing a unrealistic dream
>and if by some small chance you suceed than we'll have a party
So what anon was offering her is a safety net that shits on her dreams and doesn't really believe she has what it takes to suceed. While such a safety net is undoubtedly useful it is probably nowhere near what Ema wants or even needs and not the least bit romantic as far as I am concerned.
>>117559062
Life is sour, anon.
>>117559047
So like an erotic SOS?
I don't think hook-ups would help these folk much. Once you pass cake-age trapped in a dead-end job, about the only hope left in your life is that you'll manage to get married.
Most people have learned by the time they're that age that a fuckbeacon emanating from their phone isn't a way to find a stable long-term relationship.
>>117559090
Better to just destroy her self-confidence outright instead of doing it like that
>Emafags are now a thing that exists
How did we go so wrong? Did we not bully her hard enough?
>>117559090
then*
Hgggh.
>Daijobu?
;_;
>>117559159
>tfw they say daijobu but you know it's not daijobu
>>117559133
you bullied her too hard
>>117559222
Trips are never wrong.
She is never daijobu to begin with.
>>117559222
>>117559133
By bulling her so much and so hard you inadvertently awakened anon's repressed inner whiteknight and dormant paternal instincts.
Who's this semen demon?
>>117559439
read the thread
>>117559159
>>117559222
It never is daijoubu. They say it will be daijoubu after the storm, they always do. I told them it will be a storm after daijoubu.
>>117559222
will things be ever daijobu again
>>117559439
>>117559782
>>117559439
The actual OC potential here is staggering.
>>117554232
>>117554289
Most people on this show seem to be suffering.
Is Shirobako actually a deconstruction of modern Japanese society enclosed in a seemingly happy SoL shell? If so, it would certainly explain all the Dostoyevsky references. Shirobako has it all: the trials of both realism (soul crushing bank job) and idealism (working 80 hour weeks in poverty), the ephemeral nature of youth and success (Segwa, the director), irrational visions and voices (creepy dolls), etc etc.
It really is brilliant.
I love Oi-chan, but recently I've taken a liking to Erika, what should I do?
>>117559843
P.
BRAVO
>>117559782
Disgusting, doesn't look like Oi-chan at all. I like >>117559439 better
>>117559843
It's just more realistic than usual
Which, for anime, is pretty revolutionary
>>117559843
It's all clear now.
The disconnect between this show's content and promotional material is starting to get ridiculous
>>117559940
Just stick to Judo.
>>117559940
Embrace yourgoodtaste
Why are assholes are only male? Female characters are all good people. Irresponsible and childish people are all male. (Tarou, director, bicycle guy etc).
>>117560021
Everytime she talks, there's this some kind of warm feeling in my heart and dick.
>>117560129
Because 2D girls are perfection. Unlike real world 3DPD whores.
>>117545083
>Because it's simultaneously a behind the scenes look at what goes on in the life of an attractive and single early-20's adult woman
That's bullshit. If that's true, then why aren't there any scenes of them riding 4-5 different dicks a month?
>>117560202
Because the 3dpd they are based on aren't like the west's multiculti new age blacked out jizz deposits we call women.
>>117560202
>>117560129
Or you can see it as the males have a complete character while the females are walking plot device.
>>117560202
>>117560270
More like because it's real life and not your twisted brain.
She works. She barely has time to hang out with her friends. She's lucky that she gets to go home to sleep most of the time. And even if she had the time for a guy she doesn't have a lot of good ways to meet them given that the ones she interacts with most are old, fat or Tarou. They're all work colleagues anyway, and most people try to avoid that.
>>117560307
The guys are bigger plot devices though, it's their incompetence that drives most of the plot, the girls just react to it.
>>117560307
Yeah, that annoys me a little. Girls are all pretty and good natured. No lazy girl or mean girl. That's somewhat unrealistic and unfair to them.
>>117560400
The the males are more independent than the girls.
>>117560459
All the main girls are newbie workers anyway, they don't have whole lot of leeway to do anything else
There's no mean girl in anime!
How can a girl with such a simple design like Aoi be 100 times sexier and more attractive than busty, hyper-sexualized characters in other anime shows?
>>117560684
because she is pure
>>117560443
They'd be fired if they were lazy or mean. No male priviledge to protect them.
>>117561070
>Japan
>getting fired
>>117560307
>while the females are walking plot device.
Using words you don't understand again?
Sweet mother of Odin, just look at them.
>>117560129
Who are the assholes?
>>117561302
I'd take this show a lot more seriously if the marketing wasn't entirely based on cute girls doing sexy things
>>117545082
bully the blond because she has cute faces
one night stand the redhead because redhead
marry the genki on the right
>>117561429
What has the marketing got to do with your perception of the show? Many great pieces of art across all media have had dodgy marketing.
>>117561302
I'd NEVER get tired of fucking Aoi.
>>117561429
tough luck
Why is everybody suffering at their job? Even the not relevant ones?
>>117561592
The GM seems to be doing okay. Will there be more about her?
>>117561592
Most people suffer at their jobs irl, too.
>>117561592
Entry level work is terrible no matter where you go.
You gotta pay your dues and move up the ranks before you start getting the dividends:Namely letting young associates do all the mindnumbing, pain in the ass work and taking all the good part for yourself.
>>117561621
She was a PA at some point in her career before she took the cushier job.
>>117561643
>>117561657
>yeah yeah, now bring me 280 more millions
Jesus is this what real life is like?
>>117561696
2.8 million dollars? Talk about low ambition.
>>117561592
It's like you've never had a job before.
Protip: every job is suffering, that's why they have to pay people to do them.
>>117561696
No, it's usually worse.
The good news is that you can order people around if you get promoted to management.
A dream job...
>>117561771
I want to cum on that forehead
>>117561696
If you're lucky. That's a pretty cushy job she has, really. You could do a lot worse, at least.
>>117561771
Not really. There is a large middle ground of jobs which are satisfied and earn you enough to live.
That's basically the point of her subplot. All the other girls doing something they love after all even if they need to deal with a lot of shit.
>>117561592
Thank God I can be a NEET. I don't know how normalfags can put up with having jobs. Oh right, alcohol and suicide.
>>117561771
There are some great jobs out there. The problem is that they are super competitive and require that you have experience, connections, and some degree of competence. So most 20-30 year old are not getting those jobs.
So how long has Goth loli sama been in the business?
I'm guessing at least a decade or two.
>>117562077
Somehow I doubt 40yo goth loli aficionados would really be this sexy
Erika is just so damn fine.
>>117560684
You mean Goth loli-sama right?
>>117562424
I'm not a fan of twin tails usually, but she rocks it.
>>117560684
Because personality actually goes a long way to make someone attractive.
>>117562424
Just imagining all the different facial expressions she could make during sex makes my dick diamonds.
>>117562424
So did she and Ochiai have make-up sex or something? She was very quiet when they were talking about his transfer.
>>117560684
Because less is more.
>>117562424
>>117563046
you can put lipstick on a pig...
>>117562144
Here's IRL Goth loli-sama, she's 45-46yrs old now.
>>117563244
Sure, photoshop is a powerful tool.
Did Kaori take the maid home with her?
>>117563301
You know nothing.She is the truest of all MILFs. That or korean surgery.
Ema is just so soft and cute.
I want to cuddle with her on a cold evening whilst she's wearing a too-big sweater.
>>117563320
Yeah stuffed her right into her luggage.
>>117563202
let's see it
>>117563320
made for raping
>>117563301
Asians man, she's still in her 20s to 30s for another few years until she loses a foot of height to gain wrinkles and white hair.
>>117563419
Only elf maids are for raping.
Human maids are for tender love-making.
>>117563364
Ema is made for hugs and gentle kisses. She`s so pure and innocent, like flower.
>>117545979

For good reason too. Her petite body, shorts and socks are to die for.

I fear it's kind of impossible to stay on the high level for the next 1 1/2 seasons.
But fuck, the show is so good!
>>117564991
I recced it to someone, and they weren't impressed by the "Arupin is here" scene, which I had forgotten all about probably because I wasn't impressed either and must have wanted to forget about it.
Apart from that, though, this does seem to be a very good show. Surprise of he season.
