Episode 6 got pulled from Crunchyroll, possibly because of all the Ideon references.

Or because of the all-female rendition of Waiting for Godot:

It got pulled from niconico as well.

I don't know, I'd watch the poo poo out of that ending he came up with. Well maybe not the horses with wings, that seems a bit excessive.

So Misa actually has the most stable and well-paying job of the group but it turns out to be total drudge work through and through. As a programmer I feel for her.

I guess this was implied to be the next project for the second half of the show. Probably a parody of GuP/Area 88/whatever girls and military equipment series you like.

Shirobako is pretty good though. CG Classmate's conflict of a well paying and secure job VS an interesting one is another good thing to spotlight, and probably the one I've related to the most.

Strongly seconding the relating to Toudou most. I'm only part-time so I can't talk much, but having worked a job I hate for the past three years to pay my way through college and being unable to leave due to the reasonable pay, I really felt for her. At least her job is in the field she wants to work in, but that's not much of a silver lining.

I don't know how anyone would want to model car wheels for three years. I'd sooner rather work in that bar the voice actor girl works at. :smithicide:

Hej min vän, hur står det till?
Seems like she really fell on the harsh end of the current, accelerating division of labor problem going on in the animation industry (especially in CG and VFX). There was a studio contracted out just to make the folds on the Winter Soldier's leather glove look right in the last Captain America movie, so if she stays at that studio she's gonna be doing tires for the rest of her life (until that gets outsourced to India.) The big push at studios for recruiting now is for people to do just one small part of the process, and have them do that alone with almost no room for advancement. (They even create new job titles so they can circumvent Union rules about certain seniority granting specific pay, so instead of moving up to "supervisor" you become a "Rigger (2)".) Generalists and people who have aspirations of moving up need not apply, as the recent Pixar/Dreamworks/Hollywood pay scandals and non-competition pacts going around have shown.

Not sure if this is exactly the same trends going on in Japan, though.

Pretty sure they also implied the owner worked on Madagascar, considering the movie title.

Tsundere would imply she later comes around to loving car wheels, as opposed to a burgeoning sense of existential dread at the tedious reality of being stuck working on them for the rest of her foreseeable future.

The scene in the parking lot is there to tell us that while she's disappointed in not working on anime she still likes working in CG animation and isn't completely burnt out yet. So when she sees something related to her work, a certain rim size on a certain car, she focuses on it and examines it. It's almost the same scene from last episode with the cat but under different circumstances.

I hope it's a direct reference to GuP and they replicate its production as much as possible. If only 25% of all the rumors about that shows production issues are true, it'll be a hilarious and painful clusterfuck.

My bet's on Emi getting fired for trying to sneak panty shots into the animation.

It's actually 24 episodes. Amazon Japan has eight volumes up. Volume eight lists having episodes 22-24 on it.

If you're going by ANN, don't. They stick 12 on any airing show that they don't have an official episode count for.
