I don&#8217;t know that I&#8217;ve watched another show, anime or not, that&#8217;s done such a great job of not only giving every character of a very large ensemble a fleshed-out feel and unique personality, but has also made every character sympathetic in some way, even the ones I initially disliked or misunderstood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned on my Twitter feed, it&#8217;s a must-watch for anyone who works in a creative field, as I do.  The daily struggles, especially the challenge of having to be creative on demand despite the lack of inspiration, are very real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s put together with a lot of care and is obviously a kind of love letter to the anime industry, with a lot of inside jokes and nods to things only those directly involved in anime production would know about.  The animation is consistently strong throughout and the music is perfect.  If I had one nit to pick, it&#8217;d be a wish for more differentiation between the main characters&#8217; designs.

At least the template, such as it is, is appealing.  Highly recommended show.
