Naoki Prize winner Mizuki Tsujimura takes on the Japanese animation sector in this fiery tale of an insiders look at one of Japan's most beloved industries.

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, toppingthe 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.
