Aoi will never forget how she felt the day her high school animation club's labor of love was shown at the cultural festival. The sense of awe and the feeling of accomplishment that came with completing their very first project are exactly what encouraged Aoi and her club mates to enter the animation industry in the first place. But two years later Aoi has graduated, and now that she works as a production assistant for a big-name animation studio, the daunting reality of her job has somewhat diminished her enthusiasm. Despite the long hours and the punishing schedule, Aoi still hopes to fulfill the promise she and her club friends Ema, Shizuka, Misa, and Midori made: to one day reunite and make a real animated feature of their own as professionals!

The latter half is absolutely awesome. An inside view about how anime is made is very informative and entertaining. The characters are also hilarious. I think the strongest point of this show is its execution.
Anyone else watching this? Final episode airs next week. The second half is much better than the first, so for those who gave up early on, I strongly implore you to continue. You will be rewarded.
