1 day for 5 seconds of animation just really makes you think how hard these animators need to work to make 1 episode. Now I won't complain for when we only get 1 episode a week.
With the way perms work, they need it from all sides, like for example maybe even the Seiyuu agency. So they can’t show faces etc. copyright way too complex in japan
I love this series because you get to see how life really is in the respective careers. There’s no exaggeration, no one really living over the top lives, it’s honest. I’m currently studying animation too, so this one in particular is really inspiring for me !
@@samkeen98 There are animation courses in art colleges across the world, many people start there, or in related fields like general art courses, media courses, or digital media.
Shoutout to the anime director Shu. That dude works super hard long hours and still seems to love what he does. You could see the big smile on his face when he was watching the anime. He’s said he’s a freelancer so he doesn’t get overtime but I hope he’s compensated fairly for all that work.
It was amazing, especially considering how legendary Shu is in the Anime industry currently. For those that do not know.. he is one of most talented directors with his unique style being very sought after. He is knowns for his extreme attention to detail in his every execution and is highly regarded by his peers.
@@PaolofromTOKYO I get to meet few animators, anime directors, and seiyuus when they come as guests in the local anime convention here in Los Angeles. To see the in-depth look at how an anime episode is made through the Day in the Life series is a very unique take and experience. I really appreciate it and so glad that you went through to make this video to show it to all of us~
Hi Paolo, just wanted to say I REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I never visited Japan, but I'd love to and these slice of life videos feel like I can get a taste of it from my own home. It's really something, crazy time to live in when you can watch "quality TV" like this anywhere for free!!!
I don’t understand how he can work so diligently on so little sleep and food. The longest I’ve worked is about 14 hrs at a computer, and by that time my eyesight gets blurry. Insane.
animators deserves a huge respect like the amount of work that is put into an episode is crazy. hopefully, they get the rest they need. 1 episode per week is tough.
they probably make all the episodes before they start airing and then just release them one week at a time, they said 5 seconds takes a day so I doubt they could get an episode done in a week
I used to work in Animation. Did American TV and Japanese TV series. Production starts at mostly a Year or so before actual Broadcast, so it’s not really 1 episode per week. When the Series Broadcast catch up on actual Production there are usually 3 to 4 Groups of Animators who each does one episodes. That’s why there are multiple Animation Director and Episode Directors, giving Key Animators 3 to 5 Weeks of actual Production. The entire Production System is compartmentalized with different Divisions like In-Betweeners, Clean-Up Artists, Digital Ink and Paint, Compositing, Editing… etc. All working at the same time, so most jobs are actually Overlapping with each other when in Production. Most Studio pay by the Output not by regular time check-in schedule, like other jobs. An Animator is paid by the “Footage" (16 frames) or "Seconds" (30 frames) of work. [Take not; When I say 30 Frames, the Animator doesn’t necessarily draw each frames, usually we draw in 2’s or 3’s depending on the scene, so for a 30 frame work we might just draw only 10 to 15 drawings, sometimes even much less, the rest are drawn by the In-Betweeners) There’s a minimum Quota an Animator must deliver per week, but if the Animator want’s to earn more money, he would asks or volunteer for more "Scenes" to work on from the Animation Director. A lot of Jobs can be done at Home, specially if you’re a Journyman Animator. You can actually take it easy and just do the minimum work needed and have extra time for yourself. But, if you really want to earn big money or want to climb the Studio ladder quickly, you really have to outperform your other co-animators in the Studio. That’s where the job of a Production Assistant or Production Manager came in. It’s their job to keep track of every "Scenes" being made. Check that it’s being done on schedule. Check that they’ve been passed and Checked by the Animation Director and Episode Director. See that they’ve been passed on to Digital Painting department and so on.
That felt like an IRL episode of Shirobako and was very cool to see. I can only imagine the endless gauntlet of levels of permission Paolo needed to run in order to get this video made so I want say a big thank you for doing so.
@@this_dude5307 Yes! I was also gonna say this but I want to add that P.A. Works is such an underrated studio in general because 1. they treat their staff above average and 2. they do a lot of anime originals which never get as much attention as anime adapted from manga and LN's. "Akiba Maid War", "Charlotte", "A Lull in the Sea", "Angel Beats!", "Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms", and "Hanasaku Iroha" are all original anime that PA Works have made and I recommend watching all of them as well as Shirobako! At least watch Akiba Maid War, Charlotte, and Angel Beats if you want to be picky. PA Works is a rare breed that need to be protected since there just aren't enough original anime being made that isn't being funded by Netflix. Also, not an anime original but "Skip and Loafer" which PA did is also really good; it got me to read the manga and I just love all the characters. I'm currently watching their new original Mayonaka Punch as its airing but... it's okay. It's cute and funny but its really lacking in a lot of ways, I give it a 6/10. Good animation but the story and characters are pretty lacking.
His workload is insane, makes me grateful of the job that I have now. When he casually mentioned that he worked on Paripi Kōmei / Ya Boy Kongming! anime I was surprised. I recommend to give it a shot. It still only have one season and I wish they would continue making the second but so far no news.
@@kamranrachlin2769same! Most of my most favorite anime ever are from KyoAni like K-on, Clannad, A Silent Voice, Amagi Brilliant Park, Violet Evergarden, Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Tamako Market... and when the arson incident happened, my heart was broken
Mayonaka Punch is really good! I honestly believe it's a hidden gem this season. So cool that you were able to tour P.A. Works! It was great to see so many shows I love from them on display around the office: Paripi Koumei, The Aquatope on White Sand, Akiba Maid War, and Skip and Loafer. That being said, a 17 hour work day is INSANE!
Omg it’s Midnight Punch! That’s awesome! This is such a hidden gem in the West from my perspective, so glad you go to cover how this anime came to fruition.
As I finished watching Mayonaka Punch Ep.11, I can confrim this ainme is now on my T1 anime tier list. Great plot, unique charater personality, crazy details, and you can feel the passion of the creator making this animation. 9/10 don't missed it
This is gonna be a hit on this series. As someone who loves anime, I’ve always known that it is hard work but seeing this video makes me really realize that it’s more than hard work, you need to be highly passionate about the job to work in this field.
I thought it was such a luxury he got up at 8:30, I'm already at work and had my first break by then. Then we watched his day go by and dang how the heck does he not just fall over?! At work by 10am and not getting off until after 1am the next day is insane! Plus he's a freelancer so no matter how long he works there's no overtime? He didn't even stop for proper meal breaks, just nibbled two snacks and kept going.
yeah, seems like a terrible life. even when you love the work, doing 15 hours every day is mental. and he only have 3-4 days off in a month. thats a joke too
@@TheTaker88 I thought he said 2 or 3 free Sundays a month? In any case that’s preposterous. No wonder the birth rate in Japan is so low! With work schedules this insane when do people have the time to meet a partner and spend enough time with them to have a kid with?! I’m low key surprised this anime director has a wife at all! He saw her for a few minutes in the morning and didn’t get home until sometime at 2am wtf
Thanks for sharing and giving light to the whole process. There have been tons of animes showing this process and seeing the process live really makes me appreciate each anime episode more and respect everyone working in the industry. Thanks and great work, Paolo!
As an American watching this latest edition of your “Day in a life” series Paolo, it has given me a ton more respect to Anime workers and what they have to go through on a day-by-day basis, because the high motivation they have inside of a working environment like this is extraordinary.

This is sooo cool! P.A. Works had become some of my favorite anime studios after their stellar job with Buddy Daddies and Skip and Loafer. Paolo truly gives us whatever we need!
Thank you so much for this Day in the Life. Animators work SO HARD. In an industry that pushes them every day to go faster, it's so eye opening to see the level of effort mere seconds of the final product takes. This is no glamorous job... every day they are giving their all because this is what they are passionate about. If you are an anime consumer, value quality over speed, these people need proper rest. I highly recommend the movie "Anime Supremacy!", if you liked this Day in the Life I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Thank you for also interviewing Shirasaka Hideaki (Series Composition), Hashimoto Masahide (producer), and Iida Satoki (sound director). Little bit sad that you couldn't interview the voice actors, but i bet it's because the different matter from PA Works and Kadokawa, mostly because the agency.
this was one of the coolest episodes in the series u have PAolo. Thank you for making such amazing quality videos all these years later. It feels comforting knowing that i can rely on getting amazing videos from you all these years
Yes! This is one of the Day in the Lifes I've been hoping for. PA Works has made some great anime. Their work is wonderful and greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I was watching this video in September 2024, waiting for the last episode of Mayonaka Punch next week. Congratulations on the work of all of you in the anime industry, who make our lives better.👏👏👏👏
Yes! This is the one I've been waiting fior! I aspire to be an anime director myself and seeing this gives great insight on what's it like in real life! Great video!
@@EliselinhfromVietnam Why do you ask such a stupid question? No one's interested in Vietnam. What interesting pop culture does Vietnam have to offer to the world? The only people who are interested in Vietnam are creepy old, white guys who go there for cheap prostitutes.
you didn't show it here but I feel that the best part of the DITL videos is seeing the freetime/hobbies of the people after work. A great glimpse into their personality
It's mind-boggling how much work goes into making anime. The anime they worked on Shirobako does an amazing job showcasing the whole process, highly recommend. Also Bakuman shows how starting a manga serialization works and the effort it takes. Good video.
This video is very timely for me as I am in the middle of watching "Mayonaka Punch" exactly as a Japanese anime fan, lol. I am honestly quite happy that this video is being watched by so many people. (This comment has been translated from Japanese by DeepL)
These guys are so awesome. No matter how many hours of overtime and gruelling work are required, they keep at it because their love and passion for it help overcome all obstacles.
This was even more interesting than I thought it would be. Great video! This dude work ethic is unbelievable! You can just tell that he never cuts corners either.
What a great episode!! Buddy Daddies is one of my all-time favourite anime and it means a lot to me, so it was super cool to see where it was created. I'm very grateful for the endless hard work of the animation staff and voice actors. Thank you for showing us behind the scenes, Paolo! 💖
Thank you for this Paulo. I love anime. But seeing how busy everyone was and have little break/day-off inorder to deliver a polished and satisfying episodes to us make me appreciate their hard work even more. I have seen some documentaries how the people anime industry is overworked which saddens me. I hope that as the new younger generation take-over, they will have a better work-life balance.
Not only did this day in the life vlog made my day as usual for your stuff, Paolo dude, but I'm super into anime these days as well. Great choice for your next day in the life vids. Keep it up as always. :)
Thank you ever so much for this latest video, Paolo! Can't imagine the hoops you had to jump through to gain all the necessary permissions. PA Works is one of Japan's top studios (& one of my faves!), I'm a fan of animation and can understand how much work goes into just a single frame or what would appear as 1 minute on screen. Such a great video and incredibly insightful, as always! Thank you 😊
15:43 Wait, isn't that the roof where a lot of things happen in SHIROBAKO!? Amazing! Also, I can't even imagine how tough would this have been to shoot and get approvals for... Amazing work, thank you Paolo! Thank you Shu for the wonderful anime you've made! Last but not the least, thank you PA Works for allowing this!
yakuza nowadays just own the entertainment district , business to business but in small (izakaya`s, hostess bar or even maid cafe hahahaha) and some of them are selling narcotics I guess
@@aroundtheflatearth2388 IIRC he did a day in the life of a pachinko parlor staff some time back. I think that's about as close to yakuza business as he's going to get.
i really like this channel, he gives so much insight, visuals, and details to everything goin on. One thing i really appreciate is that he'll translate his questions in english making it easier to follow the conversations
As an artist and aspiring animator/mangaka,I appreciate this video so much! Shoutout to Paolo ive been loving mayonaka punch so far the team did great on the first season!
man, this is shirobako live action. I didnt expect to see P.A works in daily live videos, the place its so familiar cause its like from shirobako, the room, the rooftop, etc. Great video 👍
You're right! I think they make shirobako based on their company because Shirobako is original anime if i'm not mistaken.. And shirobako is one of my fav anime from P.A Works because I really curious about behind the scene how to make an anime.. I also like their other animes such as Buddy Daddies, Sakura Quest, Hanasaku Iroha, Paripi Koumei
Wow, huge respect to Shu and all anime directors for all the work that has to be put in to make the anime that we all love to watch. I'm glad Shu knows when to take care of himself. Yikes, staying up till 2 AM. That's pretty late. I'll have to check out Mayonaka Punch! I would love to be a seiyuu, but I'm sure my voice would be hoarse by the end of recording if they have to go hours and hours on even just a single line!
Paripi Koumei was amazing, i'm highly recommended. Everything from the plots, storyline, animation especially music were amazing. 😍still waiting for ss2
This is why they can't produce anime in the US at the rate in Japan. If I worked the amount of hours the director works, I'd make 300k a year. This Director has to LOVE what he does completely in order to work so many hours at what is most likely a low rate.
Still couldn't make anime like this in the US due to all the content restrictions in place by most US animation studios so nobody would even want to watch a anime from the US unless it was bankrolled by a independent investor.
I am pretty sure the director or the producer, with the highest salary for people appearing in the video, can't even get 60k a year while working 16 hours a day.
Thank you so much for this! Shirobako is one of my favorite anime ever, it's just so cool to be able to see how they were able to make it. Much love to both P.A. Works and Paolo! ❤

Kind of insane... I would not spend 5 seconds of my life for 1 day of Anime... but there is passion, to all their own!
thats quite fast btw depending on the animation it could take much longer
I remembered the Levi vs Beast Titan. I can't remember how long but it took like a month for that less than 2 minutes scene.
I know that gaining permissions from P.A Works & Kadokawa to film in their studio is indeed hard. Appreciate your content as always, Paulo.
Kadokawa has no relationship with pa works, the studio is owned by pa works. Kadokawa only contracts them
but I can only think of P.A Works is the only one who would permit something like this
*Paolo.

En, its like a flow state
Thank you so much for this Day in the Life. Animators work SO HARD. In an industry that pushes them every day to go faster, it's so eye opening to see the level of effort mere seconds of the final product takes. This is no glamorous job... every day they are giving their all because this is what they are passionate about. If you are an anime consumer, value quality over speed, these people need proper rest. I highly recommend the movie "Anime Supremacy!", if you liked this Day in the Life I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Thank you for also interviewing Shirasaka Hideaki (Series Composition), Hashimoto Masahide (producer), and Iida Satoki (sound director). Little bit sad that you couldn't interview the voice actors, but i bet it's because the different matter from PA Works and Kadokawa, mostly because the agency.
well seiyuus are god tier celebrities, completely cut away from us mere mortals
@@stormtrooperelite1453 yeah their tier nowadays is the same as celebrities, idol, model, and actor/actresses.
That’ll be good episode to make "A day in the life of a Seiyuu."
Fairouz Ai (powers va in chainsawman) was shown a lil
@@egsir We also heard Itou Yuina and Ai Kayano's voice
アニメに関する仕事は大変だと聞いていますが、本当に大変なのですね💦

This is humbling i will appreciate every anime i can watch and swear to never grumble (again) for delayed seasons, thank you for your hard work 👏👏👏
This demystifies a lot of the animation process from recording to drawing, this was really interesting - thank you!
You should watch Shirobako if you like to see this process in anime form
KyoAni and PA Works are my favorite anime studios. Thanks for the BTS of one of the studio's works.
Paolo hella lucky to see Ai Fairouz in person! And all of the behind the scene action for Mayonaka Punch! I’m jealous! 😭
Pawaaaa!!!!!!
time stamp?!?
I was like "oh I know that voice... I KNOW THAT VOICE!!" ... came to comments for confirmation and boom yea !!

@@MrRiverJude Thanks !
One of the best "Day in the life" video Paolo ever made & really big thanks to PA Works for giving the permission.
this was one of the coolest episodes in the series u have PAolo. Thank you for making such amazing quality videos all these years later. It feels comforting knowing that i can rely on getting amazing videos from you all these years
P.A Works is probably one of the famous anime studio in japan, and im surprise that they allow Paolo to make a video there, great job 👏👏👏
Yes! This is one of the Day in the Lifes I've been hoping for. PA Works has made some great anime. Their work is wonderful and greatly appreciated. Thanks.
This is gonna be as legendary as the "Day in the Life of a Mangaka" who turns out to be the author of Rent-a-Girlfriend
Really? Is he the author of Rent-a-Girlfriend??
That's so coool!!!
digging it
@@kondadadisriharshini6258 No. In the video "Day in the Life of a Mangaka", it shows the author of Rent-a-Girlfriend
@@nerolost4347Oh, the one with the worst MC ever? I'm not sure about legendary status, but everyone seem to hate that guy.
@@BobSaint yeah mid MC drop the anime on the 2nd season. I felt physical embaressment
This makes me appreciate people working on anime more and more. The hard work and passion they put in is simply amazing
I was watching this video in September 2024, waiting for the last episode of Mayonaka Punch next week.
Congratulations on the work of all of you in the anime industry, who make our lives better.👏👏👏👏
This one is gonna be good and a classic for the series, let's go!
Yes. He is back with day in life in Japan.😊 nice video by the way
Paolo, you never disappoint. I loved every second of this video. I can't believe how hard these animators work to put the magic up on the screen.
That's EXACTLY what I've been waiting for! I always wanted to know more about anime production and how it differs from the 90s and stuff...
Yes! This is the one I've been waiting fior! I aspire to be an anime director myself and seeing this gives great insight on what's it like in real life! Great video!
Glad it was helpful!
What a video!! Watching this feels like having an educational tour or a field trip inside the animation studio. (AND ITS P.A. WORKS)
Watching A day of Life in Japan is absolutely one of my favorite videos. I learned so much about Japanese culture and society. Keep it up Paolo! 👍
Would you like to learn about Vietnamese?
@@EliselinhfromVietnam Why do you ask such a stupid question? No one's interested in Vietnam. What interesting pop culture does Vietnam have to offer to the world? The only people who are interested in Vietnam are creepy old, white guys who go there for cheap prostitutes.
you didn't show it here but I feel that the best part of the DITL videos is seeing the freetime/hobbies of the people after work. A great glimpse into their personality
It's mind-boggling how much work goes into making anime. The anime they worked on Shirobako does an amazing job showcasing the whole process, highly recommend. Also Bakuman shows how starting a manga serialization works and the effort it takes. Good video.
This video is very timely for me as I am in the middle of watching "Mayonaka Punch" exactly as a Japanese anime fan, lol.
I am honestly quite happy that this video is being watched by so many people.
(This comment has been translated from Japanese by DeepL)
I'm just watching the latest episode of this Anime, and we get a Day in the Life of the Director and how things are made is so cool
Paripi Komei is 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
That’s so cool you got to make a video about this director. He needs to make another season. I’ve been waiting for so long!
Paolo do not stop making this series! I love this series! love the intro music, etc.
I feel like you're really improving with these day in the life videos, really enjoy this video thanks for you and Maiko's hard work!
One of the best series on TH-cam, thanks for your hardwork, Paolo!
I 'm loving Mayonaka Punch! It's a lot of fun, so continued success to PA Works! Thanks for another insightful video Paolo!
The is truly a “Behind the Magic” episode. So many talented people doing hard work. Wonderful, thank you for sharing!
These guys are so awesome. No matter how many hours of overtime and gruelling work are required, they keep at it because their love and passion for it help overcome all obstacles.
This was even more interesting than I thought it would be. Great video!
This dude work ethic is unbelievable! You can just tell that he never cuts corners either.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR YEARS THANK YOU PAOLO
What a great episode!! Buddy Daddies is one of my all-time favourite anime and it means a lot to me, so it was super cool to see where it was created. I'm very grateful for the endless hard work of the animation staff and voice actors. Thank you for showing us behind the scenes, Paolo! 💖
Best series in the world of Japan TH-cam content, keep em coming!
Thank you for this Paulo.
I love anime. But seeing how busy everyone was and have little break/day-off inorder to deliver a polished and satisfying episodes to us make me appreciate their hard work even more. I have seen some documentaries how the people anime industry is overworked which saddens me. I hope that as the new younger generation take-over, they will have a better work-life balance.
MAYONAKA PUNCH???!!! OMG I DIDNT KNOW THEY WORKED ON IT I LOVE THE ANIME SM
Not only did this day in the life vlog made my day as usual for your stuff, Paolo dude, but I'm super into anime these days as well. Great choice for your next day in the life vids. Keep it up as always. :)
5 second of animation take a whole day is crazy. Props to all animator!!
This is one hell of a work in just a day. Imagine doing this for 20 yrs! Respect 🔥
OMG, Tks you so much for this video, Paolo. P.A's Charlotte and Angel Beats are the first two animes that introduced me to the anime world
Thank you ever so much for this latest video, Paolo! Can't imagine the hoops you had to jump through to gain all the necessary permissions. PA Works is one of Japan's top studios (& one of my faves!), I'm a fan of animation and can understand how much work goes into just a single frame or what would appear as 1 minute on screen. Such a great video and incredibly insightful, as always! Thank you 😊
15:43
Wait, isn't that the roof where a lot of things happen in SHIROBAKO!? Amazing!
Also, I can't even imagine how tough would this have been to shoot and get approvals for... Amazing work, thank you Paolo! Thank you Shu for the wonderful anime you've made!
Last but not the least, thank you PA Works for allowing this!
So cool Paolo. I'm currently watching the series and when I saw the tumbnail I knew the anime right away. Thabks for this experience
Loved this episode, probably I'll rewatch later to really soak in every detail. Thank you!!! One of the best DITL episodes yet.
Thank you Paolo for your hard work! And thank you to the P.A Works staff for their incredible hard work and passion as well!
thanks people in the anime industry for giving us entertainment and shows we love
i love this episode i shows how hard every anime was made. so guys support the anime so we can support the animators tooo
We still have yet to see "Day in the life of a Yakuza". We have yet to see Paolo and "Kazuma" walk around Kabukichō beating up menacing men.
yakuza nowadays just own the entertainment district , business to business but in small (izakaya`s, hostess bar or even maid cafe hahahaha) and some of them are selling narcotics I guess
"While Kazuma bashes Tsuyomi's head because of turf disagreements, let's look around the Izakaya and see what we find. Let's Go!"
maybe Ichiban, he trusts people easily, Kazuma would prolly push him away
At this point you would probably be following a bunch of guys using walkers.
@@aroundtheflatearth2388 IIRC he did a day in the life of a pachinko parlor staff some time back. I think that's about as close to yakuza business as he's going to get.
i really like this channel, he gives so much insight, visuals, and details to everything goin on. One thing i really appreciate is that he'll translate his questions in english making it easier to follow the conversations
As an artist and aspiring animator/mangaka,I appreciate this video so much! Shoutout to Paolo ive been loving mayonaka punch so far the team did great on the first season!
man, this is shirobako live action. I didnt expect to see P.A works in daily live videos, the place its so familiar cause its like from shirobako, the room, the rooftop, etc. Great video 👍
You're right!
I think they make shirobako based on their company because Shirobako is original anime if i'm not mistaken..
And shirobako is one of my fav anime from P.A Works because I really curious about behind the scene how to make an anime..
I also like their other animes such as Buddy Daddies, Sakura Quest, Hanasaku Iroha, Paripi Koumei
Because it is the studio used in Shirobako lol
Wow… what an extremely long workday for animators. Thank you for sharing this!
Oh my gosh. They are very dedicated to their work. Bravo.
I love video like this. Thank you for making more videos.
Brings back memories seeing the old school 2D animation. Going it frame by frame. So much respect for them.
Wow, huge respect to Shu and all anime directors for all the work that has to be put in to make the anime that we all love to watch. I'm glad Shu knows when to take care of himself. Yikes, staying up till 2 AM. That's pretty late. I'll have to check out Mayonaka Punch! I would love to be a seiyuu, but I'm sure my voice would be hoarse by the end of recording if they have to go hours and hours on even just a single line!
Paripi Koumei was amazing, i'm highly recommended. Everything from the plots, storyline, animation especially music were amazing. 😍still waiting for ss2
This is why they can't produce anime in the US at the rate in Japan. If I worked the amount of hours the director works, I'd make 300k a year. This Director has to LOVE what he does completely in order to work so many hours at what is most likely a low rate.
Still couldn't make anime like this in the US due to all the content restrictions in place by most US animation studios so nobody would even want to watch a anime from the US unless it was bankrolled by a independent investor.
it's ok, AI is gonna take over in the next 10-20yrs.
@bvbxiong5791 way sooner than that.
I am pretty sure the director or the producer, with the highest salary for people appearing in the video, can't even get 60k a year while working 16 hours a day.
@@bvbxiong5791 AI can't make original works unfortunately and AGI is a dream atm.
Being a big fan of anime a high thanks to you for this one. I have an even greater respect for all those working in the anime industry after this.
Thank you so much for this! Shirobako is one of my favorite anime ever, it's just so cool to be able to see how they were able to make it. Much love to both P.A. Works and Paolo! ❤
PA Works is a great studio, all three of their summer shows were 100% complete before airing unlike most productions.
They even have an under the radar film called Komada A Whiskey Family. I have yet to see the film and I love Japanese whiskey.
I really liked this one! I'd love to see more behind the scenes of anime production!
Omg he Directed one of the best anime that ever existed. HE'S MY IDOL NOW.
hi winged canvas
SUCH A GOOD JOB PAOLO! All that hard work was totally worth it! PA Works do such an amazing job!
It's insane to see how many locations from Shirobako were taken from the actual office, great nostalgia hit
We don't know the effort and hard work you put behind this day int he life videos, but this one is awesome, the best for me, nice work Paolo !!!😁
Paolo! youre awesome and keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do!
