| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- LOL, that's some serious speed for working. Workaholics. Some of the ideas implemented into the shows were interesting I guess. The voice acting was pretty good imo. The director definitely earned his moment and those flowers though. Good work. |
 |
| When he actually gets going the director does work really hard. Just getting him to actually get going in the first place is... extremely difficult. He'd much rather send the time... say... getting drunk. So Mii-chan is quitting her job. As, it seems, is half of Musashino Animation. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I guess the path of life can sometimes change rather abruptly as we find out with several characters this week. As the final episode's airdate draws closer I'm actually more curious about where this series will go in its second half. Hope it's as fun and interesting as the first half has been regardless. |
| Honda quitting for sure to follow his dream. Watching Aoi help on the sound effects was really interesting. Never gave it much thought on how the sounds would be made and the room that makes them. Mii quitting her job, the resignation letter and the feelings she has for it. That aura around the director while finishing the storyboard! Completing the recording and the last episode coming within a month. When would Aoi find the spark that would make her enjoy her work more. |
 |
| Good episode, nice to see that they followed their dreams. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| People leaving Musani left and right... even Yano seems to be considering quitting. It's definitely an admirable choice to pursue what you truly love to do, but that's not always the best choice in reality. I personally wouldn't mind doing what I love and not getting as much money versus doing what I mildly enjoy while having a stable income, but that all becomes a foolish thought once you start considering your retirement, family, etc. It's a really, really hard choice... We'll have to see where each character ends up: If Ochiai reaches the higher ups, if Honda becomes a master baker, and if Mii-chan actually lands another job. A pretty good episode exploring the dilemma for many employees, with just the right dosage of my favorite girl, Rii-chan (Imai) and introduction to sound effects. |
| I liked the part about sound effects. I guess the show will be about Miyamori finding her dream & making an anime with her friends from now on. It keeps getting better. |
 |
| Another great episode. I actually agree with 'follow your dream' part even if it isn't the best choice. My brother went through this, and it was too much for him, and he's happy with getting a new job that he loves even the payoff is a little less compared to the previous. I guess everyone has a limit. i sure wouldn't like to get stuck in a job i hate/dislike for more money, unless it's unavoidable. |
| Loved this ep. The part in the sound effects studio was nice. Director getting into hyper mode to finish the storyboard, Honda telling him he'll quit after that and them having a little sumo match. Misa leaving SMC to follow her dreams as well. Yano might end up quitting too. I have a feeling that the director will screw something up with the layouts checks. |
 |
| I initially thought that jump-cut near the middle to the recording of the last episode was a time-skip, but it seems that only five days passed. |
 |
| Good ep, finally they're ending with Exodus!, only 29 days left :). The sound effects part was good, I liked it. |
| I'm learning English so maybe I make mistakes :) |
| Miyamori is going to have a hard time to get everything ready for the last episode. And the director wasn't helping with the amount he was drinking, he likes his beer from the looks if it. The Dragonball reference was funny with the way the director was working in the story board and afterwords that Sumo match in the prison. |
| Wow. So that is how sound effects are made.. really interesting! And I hope the final episode will be good although I see a possible disaster coming. Too bad a lot of people are quitting now. But anyway, loving this series even more! |
| Lol'd so much at Super saiyan Director writing the end XD The sound effects were nice :3 Dat sumo wrestling with Honda was so lol XD I wonder if Miyamori's encounter with sound effects will affect her choices in the future? |
 |
| good for her. i dont think anybody in there 20s should be thinking about retirement, at least not having it as a priority. plus, look at it this way, if you're doing what you love, why the rush to retire? you think ghibli's miyazaki wants to retire? hell no. |
    |
| oh god.... 12 missed calls from Honda..... I really don't like the sound of that. lol, hope I'm just being paranoid |
| "Let's make a miracle happen using the power of friendship." "If that was all it took, there'd be no need for training arcs!" "Normal rabbits don't carry guns!" |
Kurogashi said: I'm early 30s and if there was possibility of retirement right now, I would do it :P good for her. i dont think anybody in there 20s should be thinking about retirement, at least not having it as a priority. plus, look at it this way, if you're doing what you love, why the rush to retire? you think ghibli's miyazaki wants to retire? hell no. even if I like my job. ok that was interesting... I get why Honda did it and it makes sense in his case. as for Mii-chan maybe also, if she doesn't like one repetitive job than she can find another place to do same things over and over again. at least good old Tarou will continue to work in same place. on the other side - I would watch that Danzig Corridor series. |
| The amount of people quitting their jobs is high. Well, if one thinks that they won't be happy on their job, and if they have what it takes to follow their dream, then sure, it's the wisest thing to do. Nice to see how the walking sounds are made. |
| Anybody got a starblazers/intrepdid/yamato feeling with that "29 days until last episode airing" quote? Like things are going to get from bad to worse >_< |
| The sound effects portion was pretty neat to watch. Of course they still do that doughnut thing. Huh, I really didn't expect Misa to quit the company. That director can be pretty amazing when he wants to be xD Honda-san is quitting?? Well I'm actually happy for him that he'll be able to become a baker, I just hope the company and that lousy director'll still be able to function properly. Most of the people in the first meeting discussion looked bored as hell. Awww the final recording was sweet, and I'm glad everyone could finally relax... until that director had to ruin the moment. Everyone went silent lol |
| Misa quits her job to pursue her dream. Hopefully, her new position will be suiting this time around. Kantoku went ham on that storyboard! That aura and that sound effect though.. XD Honda also decides to quit to become a baker. I hope we still see him around just as much as now. He's a fun character. Decent episode. Miyamori should always think about her dream too, though she barely has any time for it. |
 |
| Damn, really good episode. Honda x kantoku forever, hope to see some sick ass doujins for best couple. If I dont puke then its not good enough |
 |
| Great episode again, happy to see them keep on track, hope they will finish before the deadline. |
 |
| Oi chans sound effect recording, Mii chans resignation and the Director on storyboard frenzy mode were great scenes |
| Gran Turismo and Need for Speed reference random ass way to showcase sound production briefly inb4 something bad happens cuz the director drank too much/long |
| I don't consider myself a good judge. trying not to be an obnoxious otaku |
| love that 3dcgi penguin part |
 |
| Good reference to Gran Turismo, Need For Speed and Formula 1 at SMC. It's always a tough choice for Misa to make, but hopefully she'll land the job suited for her soon. Getting a well paid job might be good at first, but stress, as we've seen with Aoi's older sister a few episodes back, and other factors can really take their toll. Even if Misa gets a job that isn't as well paid, as long as she fully enjoys it, then it should be worth it. Also sad to see Honda leaving Musashino. I'm hoping that these departures doesn't de-stabilize the company in the future. =/ |
| LOL the sumo between Honda and kantoku XD Then the music stopped when everyone realized kantoku shouldn't at the after party. Honda quitting his job actually carried a deep message that even when you're an adult with a steady job, it's never too late to pursue your dream because truthfully most adults don't know what they really want. |
 |
| Loved this episode~! It was very nice to see people following their dreams and the part about sound effects was great |
| I like how this anime shows about reaching your goals and pursuing your dreams. |
| There is something about the director that just really pisses me off lol other than that, good episode :) |
| [quote=Takuan_Soho] Magito said: I like how this anime shows about reaching your goals and pursuing your dreams. Agreed, it isn't flashy, but it is real: it's about deciding what you want to do with your life and then making the steps and doing the hard work needed to reach that goal./quote] It definitely is. Sometimes no matter what other people say they will do whats needed to reach their goal. Takuan_Soho said: Like the president of the 3D company, a 50 person company is an enormous responsibility, probably not the course he wanted to take, but he accepts the fact that he has achieved it and feels protective of his employees. Good small business owner. It was said in last episode. Making CG Cars is what gives his business a stable income and doesn't see making other than cars in the long run so his company won't lose. People who likes cars would be very suitable to work in the company. I feel the president also wants to make other than cars but he has no other choice. Takuan_Soho said: Hoping he helps Mii find a new job, given that she quit under a year she made things harder on herself, but with his help it would be much easier. It would be advisable if she stayed a year there before quitting. Its also the same in our neck of woods that you need at least a year of experience for better job opportunities. And she should have look for other jobs before quitting her current one. But its her choice to pursue her dream, I think she's probably aware of the difficulties ahead but it doesn't stop her to find what she wants. I kinda admire that. Takuan_Soho said: The only off this show has is Tarou. I know he is supposed to be comedic relief, but damn he is just a little too close to life of that one person in a company who dumps his responsibility, whines about every little thing, makes everyone else's life harder, but for some reason ends up getting promoted (and subsequently destroying the division he is in. Everyone who has ever worked at a company knows this person, and death is perhaps not an unwarranted fate for them :-) I have never encountered a coworker like Tarou here. If there is one he'll probably won't last long and get fired. His less as a comedic relief and more of a annoyance for me, but I think that Japanese employers are kinder to be able to tolerate that kinda of guy. Live is full of tough choices and hardships, that's why I can really, really relate so much on pretty much every character in the series. I would love to see how the main characters slowly make the dream of making their own anime together. |
| I've wanted to smack Tarou from the start... Why he hasn't been reprimanded is beyond me. Well anyways, rant aside... I'm really enjoying the series. I hope it ends on a very strong note. :) (Sorry for crappy grammar, not in the mood to edit. :>) |

Just for your reference. I guess this picture at 19:10 of Episode 10 is a reference to the art and teen's library in Musashino Public Library. According to the English leaflet, the facility is a public place named Musashino Place, in Misashino City, Tokyo, which has several different kinds of libraries, studios, a printing shop and others to support people's “lifelong learning”, “civic group activities” and “youth activities” around Musashino City.

| It takes a lot of stones to quit a job in order to pursue your dream. Let's see how it goes. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Honestly, I never really put very much thought into what goes on behind the scenes in the sound effects department of an anime. That seems like such an interesting job. Of course, I highly doubt that it would be all fun and games. It makes me wonder what the atmosphere in the sound department must be like when they're on a tight schedule. I'm not quite sure if quitting was a good idea for Misa or not...at least not initially anyway. I wonder how things are going to turn out for her. |
| So 3D guy was surprised Miyamori's friend was quitting her job because it's one of the best companies she'd working for. Well even though her job isn't hard, mainly repetitive work, one would eventually lose interest. Honda going to work as delivering cakes. A bit unexpected. |
 |
| I wish them the best of luck for them. |
| This anime really makes me want to do work, it's ruining my vacation |
| Just realized that this is a 24 episode show. It felt like the show was wrapping up. |
 |
| It takes two months to complete an episode. Learning about sound effects was nice |
