I am watching now Shirobako.

Well basically an anime about an anime studio watched trough mostly Aoi who with her friends always wanted to make their own anime.
Personally a must watch for any anime fan it makes you appreciate anime a lot more.

I am kind of shocked how unpopular it is based on ratings especially for a show that is very recent.
Honestly this is more of my cup of tea, I like 'more' realistic anime and you feel the struggle of some characters.  I enjoy New Game but some moments make me cringe and feels like fan service.   Anyway Shirobako and Genshiken are the kind of anime that i enjoy the most. Tried some other anime because I want to find a very funny one, As a teen I was really into Azumanga D'aioh pity their will never a Yotsuba& anime.

Also awkward to read Lucky's last comment cause the studio titanic is also in the anime:

If Shirobako has a low rating then that tells me everything I need to know about the site where that happens.  It's easily one of the best anime of the last several years.

I was conflicted between two words praise and ratings but I felt both are not right and cause I did not find any word in the english vocabulary that explains what I mean I just went with ratings. I was in a manga anime club in Belgium and in Osaka basically was nothing more than a club for people who atleast once a week want to meet people and talk about their hobby have activities. Those people still send me a lot of recommendations but Shirobako was not one of them. I asked them before watching Shirobako if they liked it and I got the standard answer 'it is good' that mostly means that it is okay but doesn't sound like it is great.

Just like Genshiken I feel it is not underrated but euhm under'praised'. Like a great game releasing on a platform that is not popular so most people don't talk about it and the fans don't understand why it is not more popular.  Meh you get what I mean =p.
