I liked it. Episodes were hit or miss but it did hit a lot. The OP is amazing.

Personally I want season 3 to be the girls like 5 years later gathering all their contacts and forming a little studio to make their project from high school and then that comes out as a film as well, separately.

Huh, I didn't realize that show was so popular. I couldn't really get into it myself.

Yes! baseball might be duller than watching paint that has already dried but anime can make it interesting.

I think the gimmick on any of the potential spin-offs would wear thin after, at most, a few episodes. Therefore, they should make just 1-3 episodes of each and string them together as a one cour show while they're figuring out how to make Shirobako season 2 as awesome as the first.

It might work best if they just animated the climactic episode of each:

GothLoli Baseball team competes at Koushien against a normal highschool team!
Exodus! girls run away on horses or whatever!
Aerial Girls girl decides to fly again and fucks up the commies or whoever it is they're supposed to fight!
Seven Lucky Gods do... lucky... god... things.

Fangz: Jul 5, 2007; Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!

Shirobako spin-offs of the shows within shows are intrinsically a bad idea. The point is that these premises are appearing in this show because they are premises that they aren't interested in making anime of. Otherwise they wouldn't be making Shirobako, they'd be making those other shows instead!

Exodus was a bad show and the ending was stupid. :colbert:

Spoken like someone who hasn't seen the director's previous show, Jiggly Jiggly Heaven. Now that was a trainwreck.

RoboHaru would be a great one cour show though.

I've seen many shows where mecha pilots go through puberty, but shows where the mecha itself goes through puberty? Well that's a twist I can't resist.

God drat PA Works, a bunch of sellouts.

edit:

quote:

Shirobako�s final dakimakura features the brunette Ema, who isn�t only playful like her friends, but turns out to be a nymphomaniac as one side of the pillow cover has her excitedly removing her clothing.

The other Shirobako dakimakura aligned with what we see on the front of this one. Clothing is coming undone slowly, and with a sense of embarrassment. However, the reverse end of the previous three would be a tease and little more, with the girls still maintaining their embarrassed look. It basically kept in line with what you�d expect out of a good, honest anime girl in an intimate scenario.

This pillow goes against expectations though, revealing Ema to be unlike most other anime girls.

Ema is more timid than embarrassed on the front, and that perhaps alludes to what we learn of her on the other end. After her first time, she becomes addicted. Look at her face, she�s unusually happy as she�s throwing her clothing off her body. Visage full of pleasure, and eyes affixed our way � it�s like she knows she knows this is what it takes to stimulate a man�s lascivious desires, and based on the inevitable lower body response a man will have, she�s pleased to see how happy we are to see her.

None of the other Shriobako girls expose this much of their bare body, while Ema is only a second away from stripping off her top. Her arms have the ends of her blouse in her delicate hands, the image frozen just short of her pulling the cloth away to show us everything she has.

There are a lot of raunchy and naughty dakimakura out there, but this isn�t either of those, it�s not naughty or illicit so much as it an expression of pure unadulterated affection. Ema looks like she couldn�t be happier to have us get on top of her naked body and fill her with children, and neither could we really.

Shirobako is a show made by idealists who tried to be realists.

At this rate Shirobako season 2, featuring Aoi's rise to producer, is going to be depressing as hell.

Exodus was already skeevy as hell and Aoi didn't really have a problem with it.

I was looking this up the other day, and I was really disappointed it wasn't NISA. I think they'd have done a really good job with their premium edition treatment.
