I think the polite term for that is "networking". I would think it's a bit different though in a situation with auditions. Although now that I think about it I guess I'm not sure how that's different from a job interview. Because the trial involves actually doing the job itself, in some small part?

Right, but Shizuka didn't fail at doing her job, she was a good voice actress and one of the favourites of the Director before that got shot down. I mean, you can say its pseudo-nepotism, but the voice meeting ep was all about how the choice of voice actress isn't purely "who sounds best"

It was a bit of tease for them to say at that point that some of the VAs were really busy and might not have time for their roles. Made me near-certain at the time that she was going to get one of the roles, being second in line. Still, it was nice of the show to defy my expectations and not go down that road, though it does make me wonder if Shizuka is ever going to land a role within the show's run, let alone one on the project the rest of them are working on.

It's probably better that she didn't have a kind of nepotism with that role. The way this show is, she probably would rather feel like she earned it than to have a friend cast her because they're friends.

Exodus episode 1 was pretty good. I wonder if PA Works will make it into a real series? Genshiken Season 1's show-in-a-show, KujiUn, started out as a OVA bundled with the Genshiken DVDs but eventually got made into a full 13-episode cour. Director Kinoshita's VA was Madarame in the original Genshiken.

Latest episode was pretty intense. I laughed pretty hard when Tarou popped up just because he heard his name. Also, Hiroaka continues to be a gently caress, big surprise! Also, it's really great to have Yano back. Good Listener fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Feb 26, 2015 |

I loved the discussion between the studio head and Hiroaka. "Upset about him calling you a lazy gently caress? Yeah. That hurts because you know it's true." Hopefully we're going to see Hiroaka smarten up a little. Also, going ahead on the story idea seems like a bad idea especially after what happened with the character designs. I'd go to the editor in person again and have them check right there that they have the go ahead. It's probably gonna bite them in the rear end again.

/\/\/\/\/\ Hell, I'd have surprise dropped in on the author himself months ago. I still don't really understand how Tarou metamorphosed from "loving idiot that I hate" to "lovable idiot who I love to hate." I... I no longer want him to lose his job.

He's always energetic and upbeat and generally means well and actually tries to do his job, but is still a complete doof and sort incompetent. Compared to most of the cast, the doof part was what made him relatively unlikable. However, now there are characters who actually don't care or otherwise want to avoid responsibility relative to the rest of the cast.

Yeah, we all thought Tarou was pretty awful, then that new production assistant dropped in and it was like staring into the abyss in comparison.

Wait, is there an actual episode of Exodus released, or are people just talking about the episode fragments in the main series? Man, that was an intense episode. Also, based on those two seconds of interaction, I want the lovely production assistant to reluctantly become the second person in the office that can actually communicate with moeblob artist.

The difference is that Tarou got promoted into a position where he can no longer sabotage production, so suddenly he goes from being goofball who creates suffering to just goofball

That scripting argument they had really reminded me of the discussion about whether Shizuka is going to get a role at the end. Also I look forward to the Tarou and Hiroaka buddy-cop episode.

Definently Aoi. Shizuka and the others all know what they want. Become a voice actor, a CG animator, a 2D animator and a writer. Aoi doesn't, she loves anime and she loves her friends but she doesn't really have a goal out side of helping her friends. Which is exactly what production does, helps facilitate the creation of art.

The amazing part is that one day, Tarou will probably become a director and maybe not actually terrible at it. Miyamori would become studio head though and she'll treat everyone to donuts like what's his name does with all sorts of food.

Didn't he get promoted to head production assistant? Perhaps his work now more involves delegating tasks to the other production assistants rather than doing most of it himself, so the work actually gets done (unless Hiraoka's told to do it).

No that's Miyamori's job as Production Manager. Ochiai the old Head Production assistant still did normal production assistant stuff and Tarou is still in charging of getting stuff for certain episodes. (Generally the more important ones from what I can tell.) In fact I don't think there is that big a difference between the jobs. It should be pointed out that he only got the role as Head Production Assistant because there was no one else around to take that job at the time

The thing about Tarou is that he only makes the same mistake once. Whereas Hiroaka just does the same lazy unmotivated cynical bullshit day after day for year after year.

Is it weird that I find this show...kind of theraputic? Like, it feels weird to get kind of a fundamental emotional reaction off of a show that doesn't...feel profound or game-changing or anything, but I dunno. Something about its fundamental optimism with regard to the daily grind combined with how cool all the characters are make it kind of a revitalizer for my own college grind. I mean, I'm about the same age as Aoi and Friends, so it's entirely possible the show's just better than I've given it credit for and I'm right in one of its target audiences. Just sayin'. Also, Diesel is really cool and got some great characterization this scene, Hiraoka needs to be punched.
