I just googled it and it looks like the anime equivalent of Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard.

Edit: TBH that's probably not fair but an anime about making anime seems recursive and lame. Is it actually good?

I don't think they convinced anyone of anything. I think they just did it.Sadly if we ever get another anime deep dive I think it'll have to be on Netflix. My guess is the only way they were able to convince their superiors at Vice to allow the Eva rewatch is the combo of how big a fan base it already has and how many new people just got access to it.

But I don't think they're slipping anything by. Waypoints is already the "not videogames" podcast so they kinda have carte blanche to do whatever with it, they're just giving up a month of talking about any random thing to focus on Eva with it. I doubt they had to clear it with anyone, because what would they say? "Look instead of football and where glitter comes from we're gonna talk about an anime for a few weeks"?After being specifically told to shut down the Be Good and Rewatch It pod? Gotta disagree. Back when Austin was EIC I think they'd take that risk. Now at the very least he ran it past whomever he reports to, with the justification that it wasn't going in a separate feed and Wednesdays were already used for Waypoints. Right after a big round of corporate restructuring and layoffs is a dangerous time to try to slip something by people who are watching you more closely.

it's honestly one of my favourite series though it's more on the idealistic side of looking at life in a creative industry. it's a workplace drama that really puts the joy of helping make something front and center, though still tinged with the realities of office politics, securing funding, working with occasionally shitty teammates and publishers, and the ongoing shitstorm that is getting anything to happen right ever.
the character designs for all the lead girls is awful moeblob stuff unfortunately which you look past eventually, but it really stands out next to all the other characters who are largely specific caricatures of actual people in the industry

If they really pushed it they could have done it in two, but I guess we don't really need four hour podcasts outside of Giant Bomb's GotY discussions.Next EVA podcast is 14 - 19, one after that is 20 - 24, after that is 25, 26 and End of Evangelion.

I'm interrupting your normal Eva rewatch podcast talk to thank you all for introducing me to Shirobako. I mainlined a bunch of episodes yesterday and it's not only entertaining, it's gotten me to think about where I am in my career (not in animation, but with a lot of the same "everything's on fire" aspects) and what I actually want to do with it all. It's really sweet without feeling like it's just a bunch of shitty anime tropes mashed together.
