This is a huge cast. Most of the characters I remembered well enough, but a few I remembered very vaguely, which probably made their scenes less impactful for me than if I had watched the TV series shortly before watching the movie.

I remember watching this one back in March of last year (and writing extensively about it, although to my disappointment, there was very little discussions of the film back then). It's a bit of a downer in the beginning, but after Aoi's musical number, things pick up big time
If memory serves, the film was a satisfactory way of bringing everyone back together for one rousing conclusion: it didn't do anything revolutionary per se, but it did handle an issue that the TV series didn't cover, allowing it to bring something new to the table, making it a worthwhile experience for viewers. I would tend to imagine that accessibility is one of the main reasons why this film wasn't discussed more in general, but it's also the case that many of the biggest players in our old Shirobako thread are no longer active here, which is probably why Shirobako discussions has decreased here.

I'm one of those "players," and I'll admit I forgot about this movie. Was pretty tough to see in theaters in the US when it was limited to a single-day's run. Then it wasn't available via alternate means, but I've since acquired a copy of this film. I'll post back after I've watched it. First I'm going to watch My Dress-up Darling!

Finally got around to rewatching the series and watching the movie. Rewatching the series probably wasn't necessary since the movie provided a recap of sorts and characters that weren't Aoi or Kinoshita didn't get that much screentime (although almost every character came back so it was pretty nice), but I had a blast so I don't regret it. Definitely the best anime PA works made.
The movie was really good, although I'd say it was too depressing for the first half. Seeing Musani having almost completely fallen apart for circumstances that were beyond their control and Aoi herself not even enjoying her job anymore was just really sad. It felt like they took a dump on the ending of the original series. Thankfully, Aoi picks herself up and brings most of the cast back to produce a movie that apparently managed to bring Musani back on the right track, given the number of projects they had lined up at the end. So it's a good ending. We also got to see the progress the other four girls made, even if some didn't have much screentime. Would love to see a sequel in the future where the girls finally get to make their Seven Lucky Gods anime. Would require a big timeskip, though. Maybe one day. I was a bit confused about one thing: in the series Nogame (3rd Wing author) had gotten burned with one of his past anime adaptation so he was really strict about what the anime could or couldn't do. And yet, the sequel to 3rd Wing, made by another studio, completely raped his work by turning it into a fanservice anime. How did that happen?

His previous work was turned into a gag series, not as a much a fancervice one, if I am not mistaken. Hard to say when. Maybe it was to show how studio change may mess up a relatively popular but not super hit show. Maybe editors just pushed to much to benefit from the initial shows sucess and made the wrong decisions. This is why Musashino was proposed to make a remake(?) at the end of the movie.
