Shirobako

Synopsis: It all started at Kaminoyama High School, when five best friends - Aoi Miyamori, Ema Yasuhara, Midori Imai, Shizuka Sakaki and Misa Toudou - discovered their collective love for all things animate and formed the animation club. After making his first amateur anime together and displaying it at the Culture Festival, the group promises to pursue careers in the industry, with the goal of one day working together and creating their own show mainstream.

Two and a half years later, Aoi and Ema were able to get jobs at the illustrious producer of animation production Musashino. The others, however, are finding it difficult to get the job of their dreams. Shizuka is feeling the weight of not being recognized as a capable voice actor, Misa has a safe but unsatisfactory career, projecting 3D models for a car company, and Midori is a university student who wants to pursue her dream as a story writer. These five girls will learn that the way to success is one with many fun, but dreams can still be achieved through perseverance and a touch of eccentric creativity.
