Shirobako is a great show about creatives in the anime industry. It has a wide cast of too many characters (affectionate) involving production assistants, animators, 3DCG artists, writers, directors, project managers, voice actors, sound designers, concept artists, and more. And the coolest thing? Each one of these characters have multiple unique outfits; these are people who change their clothes every day. This actually isn't common in media at all, especially animated media.
In real life, a person's clothes say a lot about them. We all know this, I'm not going to dwell on it. Characters in movies, tv, and games tend to have an iconic outfit that represents them. From superhero costumes to the outfit of any character from Ed, Edd, and Eddy. Even in settings where there is a uniform or a dress code, people find ways to be unique; wearing a sweater over a school uniform or wearing the uniform's shirt unbuttoned for example. But Shirobako goes above and beyond.
I'm being kind by collapsing the rest of this long post, but I will not be kind about telling you to hit Read More, you coward!
