    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The title Shirobako refers to videos that are distributed to the production staff members prior to its release. These videos were at a time distributed as VHS tapes enclosed in white boxes and are still referred to as "white boxes" (thus the meaning of shirobako) despite the fact that the white enclosures are no longer in use. Complimenting the title, the DVD & Bluray releases also used this design.

    Shirobako

    Shirobako

    Anime portrays the anime industry as such. Any lover of this entertainment should see this anime as a must, since it portrays the emotions, difficulties and viscissitudes of this world and what its creative world entails, from the approval of the manga or the original story to the delivery of the episode to the network that will broadcast it.

    I thank @Josafat for such a wise recommendation.
