That's most likely the wrong Tanaka Rie. The one in the photo is the voice actress, as far as I can tell. There's an entirely different person working as a sound producer who happens to have the same name.

Has anything P.A. Works been amazing before now? I really liked The Eccentric Family but that was mostly because the source material was good, and while they didn't gently caress it up they didn't do anything really exceptional with it. They seem like a low rent KyoAni with a little more eclectic output.

To be honest though, that this show is coming from this studio makes the whole thing more likable and more convincing. Maybe this is the moment they come into their own?

I guess it depends on your taste? I personally thought true tears, Hanasaku Iroha and Uchouten Kazoku were all excellent.

Was that Hanasaku Iroha movie any good, anyone know?

It was like an extended episode, fitting in somewhere toward the end. I enjoyed it.

...What does Shirobako mean, anyway? I assume it's not "White Baka?"

'A "shirobako" refers to the white box into which a finalized tape of a film is put, full of the effort of everyone who worked on it.'

There's a post back on the first page with a bunch of real people (although the Rie Tanaka part is probably a misattribution).

While the photo mistakenly shows Tanaka Rie the voice actress, there is a real Tanaka Rie the sound producer. She talks in one of the commentary tracks for the Hanasaku Iroha movie, and is even credited in the very episode of Shirobako in which she appears.

I can't stand watching the voice actress sequences, because my stress level shoots straight through the roof.

A somewhat odd thing I noticed.
The new ending song is performed by the "Donuts Quintet", nothing surprising there. However, it was written and composed by Momoi Halko. Has she stopped performing her own things now, or did they just get her to do something unusual for this show?

Dunno about her solo career, but she did ED1 as well.

I love watching this show, even if the final episode is more and more likely to end up with the girls all visiting Myaamori at a mental institution.

Hanasaku Iroha averaged about 8500 units per volume, while Shirobako is doing around 10k sold per volume so far. Might still increase, though.
More importantly, Glasslip has almost been doing 400/volume!

Of course, Angel Beats did 34k on average, so they've had bigger hits.

Superduper good news you guys! The director has tweeted that Yano and Hiraoka are not and never have dated!!

(2ch was on fire with the fear that Yano isn't a virgin)

To be fair to Zuka's situation, do we have any reason to think she's even a good VA aside from "She's one of the protagonists, sort of!"?

Well, she's young and she's cute, which covers about 93% of today's VA requirements!

Wonder if that tape will reach someone in power and give VA girl a job at last.

Just watched the final episode, and my jaw is breaking from all the smiling. And tears. And smiling. Parts of this episode explain clearly why poor CR is getting so screwed by delays.

Pretty sure that's the Best Anime of 2015 wrapped up already, but it'll be a lonely year from now on. Wonderful show. Need doughnuts.
