The tradeoff Nips make for their low salaries is cradle to grave security a position in a respectable company offers.

Anime doesn't have that? Why is this so low? How can they even eat? This isn't the third world they have real living expenses that are not cheap and in some cases, like Tokyo, world famous for being expensive.

yes, I do work in a very lucrative industry. but still its amazing to me this disparity. how the hell does someone at executive levels earn so little? what how the hell are those in the lower levels even pay rent? Those animators are making less than minimum wage! (~12K annual here, and its nearly impossible to live here with that money) how do they even afford basic things like food and shelter?

It's for people that are interested in anime as an industry, as it breaks down a lot of what goes into making an anime. It's also structured very well and has a lot of great payoffs later on in the show. Add in cameos/references from like, every important real life person in the anime industry and tons of meta anime history jokes, it's very enriched in otaku culture. Also cute girls.

Getting into blogshit territory, it's literally the story of my life as a professional artist and I empathize with the characters so much, it's basically an anime about me.

>>149872401
>It's for people that are interested in anime as an industry
No, it's really not. That's a minor part of the enjoyment at most.

Speak for yourself then, because just following Aoi throughout her day interacting with industry people and watching them play out the creative process had me excited every episode. That's very much a personal thing and it doesn't appeal to everyone or even most people, but it really hits home with me considering my own work.
>Either there were dozens of background cameos I didn't notice, or you know very little about the anime industry.
You're right, I exaggerated quite a bit there, but there were still a lot. You can look it up for yourself, but a lot of the minor cast has at least some tie to real life people, and they add a lot of nice details like basing parody studios off the locations of the real life studios they're parodying and shit like that. Referencing places is pretty common in anime, but it's still a nice touch.

First, slice of life isn't a genre, your retarded is showing. Shirobako is a dramedy.

Second, it gets praise because it's incredibly well paced, directed, designed and animated, and to top it all off it's a beautiful and heartfelt loveletter to the medium. The reason Shirobako is truly great is because of how it serves as a self-portrait for the show's creators. The thematic goal of the show isn't to accurately illustrate how the anime industry works, or to be funny, or to have cute girls, or to make you feel things, it's to communicate why these people (the characters in the show and the creators of the show) have such passion for their work, why they love it despite the many, many hardships, and the show accomplishes this beautifully. If you can't appreciate this, then you're just tone deaf.

>>149867764
>Give me one good reason why I should give it a second chance.

>>149877015
Aoi-chan wouldn't like foreign guys.

>>149880964
Hell, I think there was an entire episode dedicated to the different characters answering why they chose their line of work.

If I had to name one thing I disliked about it, was how Aoi's own reason didn't feel that developed towards the end. She spends a good amount of the show pondering why she wants to work in the anime industry, and by the end of the second half, when she gets some alone time and starts to think it through (there's that scene with the bear that tells her now is the time to climb up and see things from a height), all she comes up with is "I want to make anime".

I understand, it doesn't have to be more meaningful or insightful than that. It's a story about a highschool anime club that eventually, through their own means, end up working to make anime together. She gets to work with her friends doing what they all like, but I was still left with a sense of "That's it? That's all you have to say for yourself after all you've been through?"

I still love her. Oi-chan best bako

I would say the show resonates more for me because of this.

There's not some great storybook reason that she loves her work, no dramatic moral to the story, because those things, more often than not, don't actually exist in real life. I think that's the whole point of her character arc. The whole time she's trying to come up with some rational, logical reason for why she's doing this, but at the end of the day there isn't one, it's just gratifying for her individually. Personally, I think this is a very important message because it reflects a greater truth. Society teaches us that all people should hunt for some great calling, some great meaning, but that is only so much bullshit. She ends up realizing that happiness is to live in the present, to just do what makes you happy, regardless of whether you completely understand it, and in this realization she is liberated.

Aoi always felt like the weakest character to me. As much as I enjoyed her antics in the moment she honestly just didn't have that much depth as a person. Quite frankly not a whole lot of characters did, but it wasn't that big of a deal because there were so many of them and attention was usually spread out among them (sometimes being spread too thin and "main" characters like Misa often not appearing for several episodes at a time).

I still love the show for it's atmosphere, hectic pacing, and overall character, it's just that Aoi got so much attention personally that her plainness was much more apparent. In a roundabout way I guess it's possible to argue that plain people often do exist in real life too so maybe it's not that big of a deal but those were just what my initial thoughts were.

>>149869315
I guess the part-timers don't have the same advantages, like the company paying for health insurance, transports, meals. I don't know if this is a thing in the anime industry but I think it's pretty common in japanese companies.
So the position as a production assistant is still more interesting (probably).

>>149869757
It isn't that expensive actually if you don't live in Tokyo itself but in its periphery. Then the rents aren't that high and the only really expensive thing is the transportation. And usually your commuting fees will be payed by the company you work for.

The show certainly didn't have deep characterization, but I felt like it was effective. Aoi, as the protagonist, is the endearing but mostly just normal so that we as the audience can relate to her. It's a standard archetypal protagonist. The story is about her traveling through the world of the show meeting wacky characters, and she is our rock as we go on this journey with her. She's not super interesting on her own, though I did find her journey of self-discovery compelling. She is usually playing the straight man, or our emotional arbiter, illustrating for us how we are supposed to react to events.

In general I felt the cast had very strong characterization, though again not deep, it's not like the show was intended to be an intensive character study. Mostly the characters succeed in being distinct and impactful. The sheer number of criss-crossing arcs going on and how clearly they are rendered is almost unprecedented.
