I hate inside baseball anime. Anime about animators or otakus are the worst. It's like comedians joking about what it's like being a comedian. I was really disappointed when I saw that's what this new Mappa anime starts out as.
I consider Otaku no Video a classic. Genshiken was thoroughly enjoyable. And I thought Eizouken was nice enough for what it was.
Different strokes etc.
I dunno, I recall enjoying Shirobako, so I guess I enjoy getting glimpses from behind the screen, just maybe without all the gory details of how soul-crushing that industry is. I'll probably at least give it a chance.
I love Shirobako, but what a stressful show to watch. It felt like the world was threatening to end every other episode!
On the flip side, I hate how everything seems to be an isekai these days. Feels like a cheap and overused plot point by now.
I would much rather watch an entire series covering the “rising star animator on the verge of burning out” part, than the “she's spirited away into her favorite childhood anime” part.
