I love fiction the most when it teaches me things about real life, and after watching Shirobako I feel like I now know more about anime industry than I would have ever dared to hope to.

Besides the obvious, this anime also offers a bunch of likable characters and a plot, that while not exactly groundbreaking, will most likely keep you glued to your screen from start to finish. The best anime I’ve seen in a long while (granted, I really haven’t been watching much lately but shows like this might very well change that).

Positive:	Negative:
Attractive character designs	The plot and the story offer few surprises
Likable characters	The arcs of some of the characters feel unfinished
Addicting plot
Enlightening on anime industry
