| Summary: | Japanese animation, the globally acclaimed, family-friendly theatrical features are the exception rather than the rule for a TV-oriented industry that has been pushed into late-night slots in an era of fragmented audiences. When only three titles among fifty might turn a profit, topping the charts is hardly an overambitious aim. Yet as three women, a producer, a director and an animator, survive in a business infamous for its murderous schedules, demoralizing compromises and incorrigible men, moments of uplift emerge against all odds, and how. More than just a window into an entertainment niche, here's a kickass ode to work. |
