    Anime within anime

    Tsutomu Mizushima's 2020 film carries on the popular anime series while emphasizing Aoi Miyamori's difficulty leading Musashino Animation through the creation of a new movie. The video offers an encouraging message about perseverance in artistic production despite obstacles and uncertainty by contrasting the realism of industry burnout and deadlines with an upbeat depiction of teamwork and storytelling joy.

    • Trivia
      The film's story centers on the fictional studio of Musashino Animation having a difficult and troubled production of an anime film. In a case of life imitating art, another P.A. Works production, A3! (2020) also faced production setbacks leading to a delay of that series's fourth episode and eventually later episodes.
