    Amazing!
    What a bitter sweet story. It’s not heavily influenced by romance but there are moments which is nice. It really felt like I was watching someone start their journey into adulthood. The story didn’t just focus on the MC which was nice. Definitely recommend!

    Grounded and Somber
    A grounded and somber look into the animation industry. The idealistic and fresh-out-of-high school protagonist works alongside veterans, both successful and unsuccessful, as they deal with the consequences of their chosen life paths.

    The perception of animators
    If you've watched Shirobako or Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, or if you have read Bakuman and want a different perspective of the behind the scenes of anime and manga production, then this might be right up your alley.

    People need to be more open-minded
    Going against the grain isn't something the average person is accustomed to, so when you tell someone you're gonna do things differently, don't listen to their naysaying and strive to become the person you wanna be!
