Just make an etsy where you make art with sakura petals.
Welcome to my world. I've been studying shows-within-a-shows for a long time now in order to see their real world influences, how they influence the characters, things like that. Gachiranger, Mirakurun, Grand Braver, Z-Cune Aoi, Blade Braver, etc.
Notice that most of them tend to be robot/Sentai/magical girl shows. To me, that says that the people who write anime and the source material it draws from have a lot of affection for the hero shows of their youth - something that Shirobako has actually touched on.
But seriously, make a real Z-Cune Aoi anime. I will buy all associated merchandising and music for it if they make it happen.

There's something really jarring about firehawk having an avatar again.

It's too late now.
It's still airing!
If only I had the time to make a big writeup about the show.
Notice how aggressive he is with one.

A Certain Scientific Railgun - 4
Seriously, whenever the main character of Magical Index shows up, I can't not see him as Gray Fullbuster from Fairy Tail.
A much better episode than the last nonetheless though, considering there was more action in it.

firehawk's alley doesn't include anything prior to 2007.
Holy shit, I missed a good argument on my flight.
There's some good arguments on both sides. I'll try to respond to some of them after I eat dinner.
Oh btw Forever War is a fucking terrible book. I'm halfway through and I'm already starting to loathe the shit out of the writer.

I don't think I really cared for it until the second half when the time dilation stuff really set in with the culture shock accompanying that.
Man there are like pages and pages of scientic, military, and medical jargon. I understand it's supposed to be hard scifi but holy fuck, some of this should have been held off to some side book.
That and the super thin characters is really starting to grate.

Haldeman was playing with time dilation as a way to talk about the experiences of being a veteran of Vietnam... I think in that regard, it works fairly well. I could never finish the sequel though.
(Still better than Interstellar)
(And all the posts I didn't quote)
Oh you guys.

This was such 80s cheese, from the Toku heroes, to the toyetic combinable mechas, to the Stan Bush soundtrack. Perfect fit for Trigger's style.

That's one intense argument about Shirobako
I'm on team Shirobako for several reason
- Relatable character and working environment. For me Shirobako potrayal in working environment really remind me of my working place. Heck, there's even a guy who act like Taro (and he is not fired yet)
- The behind the scene of animation industry.
- Reference and joke
- Comedy (that bicycle dude is really annoying and funny)
- The show don't tell approach in several scene. Ema home is barebone and she's eating heated curry, while Miyamori have a nicer home working as production assistant. The freelancer key animator also have small room. If this not telling that the pay as animator sucks, i don't know. It seem veteran got it better though.
Well, as good as it is, no show is perfect, and there's several flaw that need to be highlighted
The flaw
- Same face for most of the girls
- Paper thin characterization
- Too many characters
Overall, i enjoy Shirobako for being good workplace comedy in animation industry. I disagree with the selling waifu thing though.

Zel's back
Zel is like... trying to be proto Dante or something with how he acts. Kind of smug and shit. I'm guessing Amelia is part of our final party for this season, given the current premise, and how many episodes left there are, and quite frankly, it's nice to at least have someone to compliment Lina.
There's been some wacky episodes
And even a love interest for Goury, which is making me fear of a potential misunderstanding about feelings because Goury is legitimately stupid.
I'm not sure if we'll get more wackiness outside of the troublesome duo who keeps going NEXT TIME WE SETTLE IT, I SWEAR..... I REALLY MEAN IT!

and so is Rezo, and now we're trying to get his porno book collection to stop him

Your subjective response, while of note, does nothing to detract from the aim of the show. An aim which, for many people, has been fulfilled.
Why must I feel these feels. ;_;
Also the first ending song was the best.

Man that helicopter episode is pretty bad. No trollerino.
That's not even an anime thing, just a Japanese work culture thing.
Animator Expo 09 - Gridman (boys invent giant hero)
Fun short. Effective homage to the original franchise. It's pretty low budget, especially compared to some of the other shorts in the series so far, but considering it was entirely animated by two guys, it used the animation it had really well. The mecha action and effects are very Amemiya, but I love how they even managed to include a melee sequence near the end. This was good nostalgia.
