So MAPPA does Shirobako?
Although is it a romance what with the lead trying to understand love so as to do her work properly?

A very small correction: the director/original creator should be Mitsue Yamazaki, not Yamasaki. The typo is preventing her encyclopedia page from being linked.

This gotta be one of the most shameless projects coming from this company. Mappa executives have no self awareness, unless they do and they just don't care.

Frankly, just makes me want to watch Animation Runner Kuromi again, and instead.

So, I'm guessing when she eventually shows her face, she'll be revealed as being the most beautiful woman in the world or something? That's typically how these things go.

*Recalls the whole selen tatsuki/dokibird situation*
*also recalls the sexuals harassement and abuse controveries surrounding Activison Blizzard and Ubisoft*
Of course they are aware of the misery they generate. The system is designed that way to maximize profits for them.
Executives only care about money, everything and everyone else is expendable, empathy and decency be damned. They need to be forced by law to be even mildly decent.

….
No way. These people have to know what they’re even remotely getting into by making an anime about making anime. They have to be self-aware, I don’t see any other way…

It feels like I'm watching kayfabe, only where people actually suffer.

Pro wrestler whose gimmick is that he's a guy who works in an industry where steroid abuse is rampant and everything is scripted.

I'm half-expecting she's not going to reveal her face until she's fallen in love.

Not sure why all the hate, this looks really interesting and cute. Shirobako was a cute series too and more meta series about anime characters making anime is always nice. Bakuman was good too.
sidenote: the mc made me think of of Rita from King-Ohger at first due to the purple hoodie and black hair hiding her face

Well you certainly don't get more meta than a Shirobako-style show about an animation studio suffering production issues, when it's actually animated by a studio with such a poor open record for production issues and employee mismanagement & abuse that an actual animator posted an illustration of Shirobako's Ema Yasuhara tying a noose around her neck, while working on Jujutsu Kaisen S2. Black comedies wish they could be that bleak.

Can't wait for the part where the protagonist looks directly at the camera and says "animator unions are bad!"
