Inhaltsangabe

Naoki Prize winner Mizuki Tsujimura takes on the Japanese animation sector in this fiery tale of an insiders look at one of Japan's most beloved industries. Three talented women come together to take on the hegemony that is the Japanese animation industry. Told through the eyes of three characters Kayako, Kazuna and Hitomi, a producer, an animator and a director will make their marks on this beloved but very rigid industry by challenging one of the biggest names in the business.

Reseña del editor

Japanese animation—the globally acclaimed, family-friendly theatrical features are the exception rather than the rule for a TV-oriented industry that has been pushed into late-night slots in an era of fragmented audiences. When only three titles among fifty might turn a profit, topping the charts is hardly an overambitious aim.
Yet as three women, a producer, a director, and an animator, survive in a business infamous for its murderous schedules, demoralizing compromises, and incorrigible men, moments of uplift emerge against all odds—and how. More than just a window into an entertainment niche, here’s a kickass ode to work.
