MODERATORS
I completed the Shirobako series over the past few weeks.
This is probably one of the most relatable anime for me. At first I thought it's because 95% (or some other stupidly high percentage) of software development work is in fact common to most other jobs as per Working with Coders.
However, the more I watch it, the more I realised just how similar anime production is to software development. It's not just the stand-up meetings, the team dynamics, suffering from burnout, etc. Even the creative process - the way animators / designers / etc approach their work - is so similar to building software.
Picking just one example out of many,
Shirobako spoiler
when the goth animator drew that one line to make the animation complete, it's basically like when a senior dev make a change to just one line of code that resolves a big issue.
With all the similarities, this anime may have as well been about making software.
Quality-wise (encompassing characters, story, and everything else), this anime is top-notch. To be fair, it would be ironic if an anime that's about making anime is badly produced.
As with any series that I'm extremely impressed by, I'm giving it a 10 / 10.
P.S. I would totally watch 3rd Girl Fighter Wing if it's an actual anime
They did a 1 episode OVA of it.
The OVA was great. 11 more episodes would be better.
