Seriously, you didn't think Shribako devolved into self-congratulatory bullshit? I thought it was the straw that stirred the drink, personally - but to each their own. And it was indeed sincere, at least.

Should we blame her for how bad was PAW's fan-service? Well. Not that I mind either anyway. |

Plus, this is one of PAW's most consistent series up there with Tari Tari whereby it was good (great imo) from start to finish. There wasn't any stinker or trainwreck episodes from memory and some episodes simply hit it out of the park. Last edited by Pocari_Sweat; 2015-04-02 at 08:59. |

I do have to disagree though. At least what I understand of Archon when he means self-congratulatory, I think he's talking about more of the Light novel type writing when it's fanfiction wank level. I don't that's the case with Shirobako though I won't deny there is definitely a marketing element (the five main girls for example) which I know annoyed you, but like I said before I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. I tend to get annoyed if such elements are overpowering a series which it didn't for Shirobako. |

Actually if you take out the supernatural element, Glasslip makes perfect sense. I would say it has better and more consistent characterization which isn't saying much, but in the end I think it's a wash. But the later wins because it's better to look at. And the latter has chickens. And nudity. I mean it's the same reason why you prefer Guilty Crown over that other stuff. It looks better. Quote:

I don't think Shirobako is self-congratulatory because it never came off as arrogant or full of itself. Passionate yes. Egotistical no.

It's about perceived intent, Enzo.
Perhaps you wanted to express that they really do believe their own nonsense. That's definitely what you think and that's fine. I disagree, because I feel the creators have their own experience to input into the show. When people have different life experiences, it can be hard to make sense out of it when yours is different enough. Of course, it looked more like by you using "seriously" in a seemingly ironic tone to suggest what I said was absurd, that'd you're simply making something passive aggressive on disrespecting my post since you didn't bother to engage in any substance, and are simply trying to save face here. In that case, I do respect you for at least continuing on to clarify yourself, since I really wasn't seeing that. Perhaps you just phrased it badly, and you could work on it, for even when I'm posting opinions aggressively in disagreement, I go out of the way to try and entertain the crowd or put some kind of wit. I can't say I see that here. Please don't try that stuff on folks again, especially against the likes of me. That pisses me off.

I never said these are mutually exclusive concepts, but now you're basically telling me that the creators are akin to pathological liars. If that's the angle you really want to go with here, then you have totally lost me.

Necroing this thread in regards to an announcement for one of my most tsundere favourite studios!
http://www.pa-works.jp/aisatu/index.html Copypasta rough translation which I got from somewhere (not by me I can't read japanese) "First, PA's boss promise they will continue being a company that excite people(like keep making original shows). 1.15th anniversary anime will announce soon(mostly later this year). 2.15th anniversary event currently planning. 3.Headquarters will move to a new building own by PA Works themselves. 4.PA Works will team up with kogumakai to launch innovative learning courses for kids. 5.PAX, a new studio under PA Works to focus on 3DCG animation. 6.PARUS, a new studio under PA Works to focus on supporting Nanto city." Looks like PA works is gonna bring something big for their 15th anniversary. Most likely going to be an anime original. So charlotte is a filler (along with haruchika in winter 2016) series eh? Interesting that PAW is making two subsidiary studios following the pattern of other major studios. Maybe that means they will be keeping work more in house in the future? The Nanto partnership/arrangement is interesting. I guess we should expect more tourism shorts from now on. Or maybe their 15th anniversary project will be set in Nanto.

I had to look up the air date of P.A. Works' first anime again, and it's 8 years after they were actually founded. Very progressive indeed.
I'm wondering how they'd do if their 15th anniv. project tapped into certain brands that are sweeping across Japan right now. Shirobako planted the idea in my head that anime aren't built in a day, and by the time you start channeling another franchise the train might have already left. But does anyone know if directors can actually throw fireballs?

However, there should still be a decent story or at least the tourism aspect isn't shoehorned so that it doesn't create a backlash as hard as in Rinne no Lagrange. At the very best, they should help the community the same way they boosted the sales of the inn used as the setting for Hanasaku Iroha.

I can say though that their character designs are regressive lately... Quote:

Even I can't tell how sarcastic I am sometimes.
Charlotte is the least doey-eyed they've been since NagiAsu. The latter also proved P.A. Works can make great assets...when they want to (Tari Tari had that one shirt unbutton scene, but meh).

The other studio sounds like the product of financial/tax incentives from the municipal government. It could be about tourism, but the creation of a separate company seems strange. I'm thinking it's part of a job creation initiative for youth, but then again, the anime business hardly offers a bright future to most entrants. |

My guess would be spring 2016, since Hanasaku Iroha aired in April 2011 rather than on PA's actual 10th anniversary of November 10, 2010. Though, HSI had already been announced by August 2010 so they're leaving the announcement later this time if this is the case.
