Shirobako (しろばこ)

I'd like to name it "Shinbutsu Konkou: The Seven Lucky Battle Gods."

Animation Club

All right, everyone. Please get ready.

Upon these Hyotanya donuts...

...we, the members of the Kaminoyama High School Animation Club...

...solemnly swear to do our best on our...

...self-produced...

...feature!

Don-Don-Donuts, let's go nuts!

Shinbutsu Konkou: The Seven Lucky Battle Gods

All you have to do is just leave home, then.

What?

You make it sound easy, Suga-senpai.

You'd be just fine, Ema. You're talented at drawing.

But I wonder if I'd be able to get into a company.

If you're saying that,

I don't know if I could even get into the training program.

There are so many people who want to be voice actors.

Sorry... It's so hot. I need a break.

Mii-senpai, I'll do it.

Wow, apparently Tokyo was 36 degrees Celsius today.

So we're a little better off here.

If we make it to Tokyo,

let's be sure to live somewhere that has air conditioning, Ema.

Ah, right.

What? Still arguing at home?

Oi-chan, I don't really think that donuts are a summer thing.

What? I totally think donuts are all-season, almighty, and all-okay.

It's the perfect food as far as I'm concerned!

It moved!

It's definitely moving.

Hey, that there! That's the part I drew.

Doesn't it pump you up when you actually see it move?

But we're still in the key animation stage,

so we're still only about halfway through the production.

No, maybe a third? A fifth?

Jeez, Ema. Why'd you have to bring that up?

I mean, are we going to make it in time for the school festival?

Okay if I watch it one more time?

Let's do it!

Seriously?

They said they'd send me money for a year.

But during that time, I need to figure out a way to support myself.

Did you go on a hunger strike?

Did you refuse to talk to them? Cause some violence in the household?

I wrote a letter every day... I'm not very good with speaking.

Wow, that's amazing!

You're tenacious!

I'm definitely going to Tokyo, too.

We'll be waiting for you, Mii and Rii.

What about you, Oi-chan?

After you finish junior college here, you're coming to Tokyo, right?

I'll do my best.

Sequence 01

All right, let's do it one more time.

Impudent fools! I'll cut down all ten of ya!

What? You're just a god!

Don't let them rile you up! This is a trap!

Yeah, this has to be a twap—

All right, one more time.

Sorry.

Graduation Ceremony Kaminoyama Prefectural High School

Does everyone have their donuts?

Yeah!

No matter what, one day...

...the five of us together...

...will make an...

...animated...

...feature!

Don-Don-Donuts, let's go nuts!

Okay, that was an email from pen name, Anime Gensui-san.

Thanks for always sending us emails, Anime Gensui-san!

Two and a Half Years Later

It's true, as mentioned in the email,

there's so much anime this fall, it's hard to pick what to watch.

I'm just recording all of them for now,

Segawa-sama, Thank you for all of your hard work. Exodus #4 has begun the animation supervision stage. We look forward to working with you once again. Miyamori

but my hard drive fills up so fast that

I have to delete the summer anime episodes.

Musashino Animation

Well, this age is being called the anime bubble...

Meaning one day, it's going to burst!

Don't say things like that!

The good times only last for a moment!

Miyamori Aoi Production Assistant

Yeah, yeah. Now, putting the negativity aside...

Out of all the fall anime shows,

New Item!

Three Garlic Beef Bowl

the one that we here at AniRaji Poku Poku are pushing is...

Ta-da! Exodus!

That's right! And from that highly-recommended show...

We've invited the people voicing the characters!

Yay!

Good evening!

I'm Nakaharu Mei, and I play Akane in Exodus.

Thank you for all your... Exodus #4 has begun...

I'm Itou Suzuka, and I play Aya on Exodus.

I'm Kayana Mui, and I play Arupin on Exodus.

That's Mui, written with the kanji "dream" and "cloth."

Sorry to have you girls come here for free.

For free?!

Well, it'll be airing right after this show, so we came here to promote it.

Yeah, we have a ton of rival shows, so we can't lose.

We've gotta beat them down!

And we should probably stop the dangerous talk there.

So what's Exodus about?

Well, it's a story about the idol unit, Tracy, running around. That's all.

That's it?! Well, that was a vague synopsis...

Well, we'll get more into the details later. But first, please listen to this.

This is a song that we sing on the show as the idol unit, Tracy.

"I'm Sorry, Exodus."

Sing, dance, and run away, Tracy...

Idols trying to atone for their past...

Wait for us...

Curses! Not you again, Miyamori Aoi!

I'll be heading in first, Tomigaya-san.

Exodus to Tomorrow!

Exodus to Tomorrow!

It's Miyamori Aoi from Musashino Animation.

I've come to get the checked animation for Exodus episode 4.

Coming.

Segawa Misato Animation Supervisor

Animation Supervisor Segawa

I don't have very many today, but...

No, thank you very much.

Actually, this would be all of it.

Just two more days until we wrap up the key frames check, right?

Episode one airs tonight, doesn't it?

It does! It's finally starting!

I see... So you're excited about it, huh?

Huh?

I'm always the most nervous right before the first episode airs.

That's when I know the thirteen-episode cour is starting, and there's no going back.

The quality is amazing since you joined, Segawa-san!

The director is thrilled!

Really? I hope so.

My shoulders are so stiff.

I'm sure it must be rough...

Well, we've only got a little more to go, so I'll do my best!

Yes, thank you!

Sure.

Musashino Animation

I'm back!

Honda Yutaka Production Desk

Do you think it'll be Fight this season?

Ochiai Tatsuya Production Assistant

I think G Colle is the series everyone's looking forward to.

Takanashi Tarou Production Assistant

Nah, I'm gonna say it's our Exodus that everyone's looking forward to!

Shimoyanagi Yuuichirou 3D Director

Oh, so you're from that studio?

Doumoto Chiemi Inbetween Check

Yeah. The bathroom situation there was the worst.

Iguchi Yumi General Animation Supervisor Assistant

I heard that Kisa-san lost 20 kilograms by riding a bicycle,

Ogasawara Rinko Character Design General Animation Supervisor

but then got hurt and gained 23 kilograms while in the hospital.

Uchida Akane Key Animator

The first on-air is kinda nerve-wracking, huh?

Yasuhara Ema Key Animator

Yeah. I can't help but wonder if my drawings are good enough.

Sakura Yoshiki Camera Director

Huh? By the way, Where's Nabe-P?

Shinkawa Nao Color Coordination and Check

Playing Mahjong as usual, most likely.

But the first episode's about to air. That's unbelievable.

Yano Erika Production Assistant

Well, it's Nabe-P we're talking about.

Kinoshita Seiichi Director

Director, people are already starting live commentary.

Madoka Hironori Animation Director

You don't have to tell me.

Yamada Masashi Animation Director

Madoka, you're looking at the internet too much.

Marukawa Masahito President

Oh, Miyamori-san. We have curry!

Oh, okay.

Myamori. Over here.

Just twenty more seconds. Should we post a tweet and hashtag it?

I'm not going on the internet!

Could you stop tapping your foot?

Sorry.

Ten more seconds.

Seven, six, five...

Taro, quiet.

On sale October 25th!

A Certain Temple's Self-Mummified Monk

It started!

We can see that.

Wh-Wh-What should we do?
