when’s someone gonna make an anime about drawing webcomics

hell, when’s someone gonna make an anime about drawing porn comics (THAT ISN’T JUST AN EXCUSE TO GET AWAY WITH CREEPY SHIT)

It also makes me want to try the Bakuman anime too because that one’s about COMICS, even though Bakuman is also ABSURDLY SEXIST and objectively worse than this series. but those boys, they’re doing what I’M doing for a living!!! WOW

The anime that the studio is working on, btw, is this bananas series called “Exodus!” that seems like it’s about a 29-year old woman getting forced into pretending she’s 17 and a pop idol as part of an elaborate revenge plot. It sounds DEEPLY weird and I want to watch it as much as Shirobako itself, as well as its director’s FIRST series “Jiggly Jiggly Heaven!” which was so fucking disastrous that it became The Standard By Which All Shit Anime Is Judged amongst otaku

Like seriously, the first episode is like ten minutes of “haha, we’re adorable high schoolers who want to make our own anime someday!” And then smash cut to two years later where our main character is driving over in a company car to get some keyframes to one of her studio’s supervisors when another guy in a “G.I. Production” car pulls up next to her and revs his engine. AND THEN THEY RACE AND DO ALL THESE SICK-ASS JUMPS AND TOKYO DRIFTS AND SHIT, IT’S NUTS

started watching this on a lark bc it’s about the animation industry. I was bracing for some tooth-rotting moe shit based on the promo art, but it’s actually a pretty fun and grounded look inside the animation industry, with a big cast of characters working to get a fledgling anime series out while every possible thing goes totally wrong. The main character is a beleaguered but feisty animation assistant who can also FUCKING STREET RACE

HOLY SHIT THE ENTERTAINMENT VALUE OF THIS LARGE SCREEN IS ENDLESS https://mastodon.social/media/dX7lMi1KgXoGrvciZh8 https://mastodon.social/media/eh6PogDs04FKC_pbVMg https://mastodon.social/media/V_BHV9JVOqlchXCNyGE

Laser videos appear to interest him even less https://mastodon.social/media/gyHxIBD9WdFbg3mfMWg

Aaaand now he’s back to being completely uninterested. Well, that was fun https://mastodon.social/media/7KWcGLBxaz5WeJqApoI

He’s like Super Activated rn. I think he’s trying to find out where the fish are coming from https://mastodon.social/media/__NoeMLl0fT73LbQ8cU

ohh he’s into this one though https://mastodon.social/media/W5a6U5srKjN1wYAfEpM

JUST LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT THE THING https://mastodon.social/media/EkDhnbqFQcl87DMG58M

Chester is unimpressed by our Black Friday purchase, but is astounded at how much delicious dust there was on top of the TV cabinet this whole time https://mastodon.social/media/8y0c1RQRC_4oo_TSMPU

WHAT I USED THIS TIME:

solid bits: canned tuna, diced onion and garlic, matchsticked carrot and daikon radish, chopped spinach (kale is better if u got it), sliced and toasted bagels

spices: black pepper, basil, nutritional yeast

liquid parts: 3 parts japanese mayo, 1 part brown mustard, a spoonful of gochujang, and a splash each of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and mirin

directions: put the dry stuff in a bowl and mix in the wet stuff and spices. put it on the bagels. done

i make an absolute banger of a tuna salad sandwich, if i do say so myself

i fucking love my veggies but celery is a totally superfluous ingredient that could be better served by other, better veggies (bok choy immediately comes to mind)
