TV and Movies (Animation) Thread

Shirobako, ongoing series. It's an anime about an animation company. Seems pretty realistic apart from some comically exaggerated characters. It's not going to blow anyone's mind but if you're into anime as a medium it's an interesting and entertaining look at how it's made.

Good rec. And not just for the education - the whole show is very charming, though I agree nothing too special.

I second this, I think you could get as much information about the process of making anime out of this show as you would a documentary. If you've read Bakuman, it's like a more detailed anime version of that. Or if you've seen Paranoia Agent, it's like a series length version of the episode about making anime.

I've been enjoying Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo

It's awesome until the plot does a 90 degree turn near the end. Unfortunately their authors just aren't as good as Dumas and oynzvat Rqzbaq'f npgvbaf ba zvaq pbagebyyvat fcnpr nyvraf xvaq bs erzbirf gur cbvag.

Finished it last night.

Still one of the better animes I've seen recently, and probably the best adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo I've ever seen - though I haven't seen many.

Now I need a new animie.

If you liked the visual style, you could check out Mononoke and the last part of Ayakashi.

If you liked the visual style,

I liked it, but I think the static textures should have been used with a bit more subtlety.

Mononoke and Ayakashi.

I'll check those out, looks like they're both on Crunchyroll.

If you like visual weirdness in anime I highly recommend Kaiba; it's a rather cool sci-fi story too.
