Read full review on AniList →Realistic, relatable characters and its unique premise of anime production make Shirobako a breath of fresh air
[MINOR SPOILERS ABOUT CHARACTERS]
Shirobako is one of the most unique anime I've seen, with a realistic take on the challenges people have to go through, especially as new high school/college grads. This isn't an anime about cute girls doing cute things at their jobs, like New Game is. Instead, it'…

__Shirobako (2014)__
[SPOILERS]
Never have I experienced a story that so fully encapsulates what it means to be an artist than _Shirobako_. While being an anime about an animation studio, it not only provides insight into the complex nature of producing a creative project, but also delves deep into…

If I had to use one word to describe Shirobako, it'd be Genuine. Shirobako starts off with 5 friends making an anime with their high school club and wanting to chase their dream and working together to make an anime professionally.
The story is super grounded and realistic while not being overdrama…

As it stands, _Shirobako_ (stylized _SHIROBAKO_) was, and still is, my favorite anime that aired in 2014. P.A. Works, which has produced other good anime like _Charlotte_ and _Nagi no Asukara_ (and has produced some real stinkers like _The Day I Became a God_ and the infamous _Glasslip_), has not ha…
Read full review on AniList →A charming and intriguing metanarrative look into the industry that sells itself a bit too much as character-driven
Shirobako is, by its nature, a unique show. Not just due to its subject matter about making anime, but the questions the show poses its creators. Although the summary presents the show as a character-centric narrative, it is actually more premise and concept driven. While Aoi's is the primary perspe…

_Just my opinion:_ I would really recommend people to watch this anime after they have worked for at least a year or so. I personally feel that one will not be able to grasp what the anime wanted to portray if you were to watch the anime when you are still a student or have no working experience.
