Shirobako: The Movie (Japanese: 劇場版 SHIROBAKO, Hepburn: Gekijōban Shirobako) is a 2020 Japanese animated film and a sequel to the anime television series Shirobako (2014–2015). Produced by P.A. Works and Infinite and distributed by Showgate, the film is directed by Tsutomu Mizushima from a series composition led by Michiko Yokote and features an ensemble cast including Juri Kimura, Haruka Yoshimura, Haruka Chisuga, Asami Takano, and Hitomi Ōwada. Set four years after the events of the anime series, the film follows Aoi Miyamori leading an anime film project at Musashino Animation.

Talks for a sequel to the anime series began in 2016. The sequel, which was revealed to be an anime film, was announced in April 2018, along with the confirmed return of Mizushima and Yokote. The staff from the anime series were confirmed to be returning for the film in July 2019. The returning cast from the anime series were also confirmed that month and in January 2020. The film was completed three days before its theatrical release.

Shirobako: The Movie was released in Japan on February 29, 2020. The film grossed over $3 million worldwide and received a nomination at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards.

Plot

[edit]

Time Hippopotamus, Musashino Animation's original anime series, gets canceled after its sponsor could no longer finance it. As a result, some of the staff leave the studio and Masato Marukawa resigns as its president. In April 2019,[b] Aoi Miyamori and the remaining staff watch an episode of Third Aerial Girls Squad Medusa☆, an ecchi sequel to Third Aerial Girls Squad animated by Studio Taitanic Film. Shun Watanabe, the new president of Musashino, discusses with Miyamori the possibility of her producing Air Amphibious Assault Ship SIVA, an original feature-length anime film set to be released in February 2020. Gōtarō Katsuragi pleads to Miyamori to finish the film after GPU, the studio attached to it, failed to complete its storyboards while also demanding a bigger budget. With motivation from Marukawa, Miyamori accepts the job. She then meets Kaede Miyai, an assistant producer and Katsuragi's colleague at Western Entertainment who will be working with her on the film.

As the production starts nine months before the film's release, Miyamori suggests using the materials from Time Hippopotamus. She then convinces Seiichi Kinoshita to direct the film. Afterward, the two meet with Shimeji Maitake, who agrees to write the film's script. Miyamori invites Yumi Iguchi, who only offers to help with the character design, and recruits Rinko Osagawara. Misato Segawa and Yūichiro Shimoyanagi attempt to recruit Ryōsuke Endō, the one who has been affected by the cancellation of Time Hippopotamus the most. With motivation from his wife Mayumi, Ryōsuke finally decides to join the staff. Miyamori recruits Ema Yasuhara, while Shizuka Sasaki plans to audition for a role in the film and Misa Tōdō accepts the position as the film's chief animator. Miyamori asks Shigeru Sugie to help with an animal drawing in exchange for her accepting his favor to help with his animation class for children.

With six months left until the premiere, Maitake is not feeling satisfied with his script but after hearing Sasaki's audition and getting ideas from Midori Imai, he manages to complete it. Meanwhile, Masashi Yamada has been falsely accused of controversy and Yasuhara is encountering a problem with her corrected keyframes. Tarō Takanashi and Daisuke Hiroaka offer help with the film despite them now working in another studio. Two months later, Erika Yano returns to Musashino, helping with Kinoshita's storyboarding and recruiting Hiroshi Iketani. Miyamori, Yasuhara, Sakaki, Tōdō, and Imai participate in Sugie's animation class, during which they also garner experience and motivation. Sometime later, Sasaki passes the audition for the role of Arte in the film and Yasuhara finally submits well-corrected keyframes.

Katsuragi later informs Miyamori, Miyai, and Watanabe about GPU President Yoshio Misaki's claim that his studio has also the rights to the film. They fear that GPU might halt the production or wants to have a joint production as the lead. Miyamori and Miyai storm Misaki's office and inform him that he violated sections of the contract. With three weeks remaining until the premiere, the film has been completed, but Kinoshita feels the ending is rushed. Miyamori requests the production team to remake the final part to make the film satisfactory for themselves and the filmgoers. On the film's premiere, Miyamori, Yasuhara, Sakaki, Tōdō, and Imai visit a theater to watch the finished product.

Development

[edit]

Initial talks for a sequel to the anime television series Shirobako (2014–2015) began a year after the end of its broadcast.[13] During the P.A. Works panel at the Tokyo Anime Award Festival in March 2016, Shirobako producer Takayuki Nagatani teased that "there might be a chance [for a sequel]" to the anime series if a theme could be decided. P.A. Works CEO Kenji Horikawa would like "to see a story about Aoi [Miyamori] going back to her hometown and teaching an anime class for children" in the sequel.[14] The staff "could always make a sequel if [they] wanted to" since they could use their daily lives during the production of an anime as the story, but it took a few years for them to ask the anime series director Tsutomu Mizushima to helm the sequel due to his "far in advance" schedule.[13]

Pre-production

[edit]

In April 2018, an anime film project, which was described as an "all-new work" and would continue the story seen in the anime series, was confirmed to be in the works at P.A. Works, with Infinite producing, and to be helmed by the staff from the anime series, including Mizushima, screenwriter Michiko Yokote, character designer Ponkan8, and animation character designer Kanami Sekiguchi.[15] Since a film had a limited runtime as opposed to a 24-episode television series, Nagatani decided the film's theme would be about depicting the behind-the-scene production of an anime film; the theme that made him become interested as he saw the anime market "somewhat transitioning" to films and due to fact that Shirobako had already depicted the behind-the-scene production of an anime television series.[16] At the AnimeJapan 2019 in March, it was revealed the script for the film has been written.[17] During the attendance, Horikawa revealed that he was expecting the film to be completed by the end of that year. He also revealed the film's timeline to be taking place five years after the events of the anime series, which would be equivalent to the gap between the end of the anime series' broadcast and the film's early 2020 release. Additionally, a character sheet for the new character named Miyai was exclusively revealed to the audience. Her design was described as "very much in the style of the other Shirobako principal cast, with similar facial features but a more mature hair style."[18]

Additional staff from the anime series was revealed to be returning for the film in July 2019, including cinematographer Yukiyo Kajiwara and editor Ayumu Takahashi. A key visual drawn by Sekiguchi was also revealed, which introduced Miyai.[19] That month, Juri Kimura, Haruka Yoshimura, Haruka Chisuga, Asami Takano, Hitomi Ōwada, Shūya Nishiji, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Yuri Yamaoka, Hiroyuki Yoshino, Ai Kayano, Masaya Matsukaze, and Mai Nakahara were revealed to be reprising their roles from the anime series as Aoi Miyamori, Ema Yasuhara, Shizuka Sakaki, Misa Tōdō, Midori Imai, Yutaka Honda, Tatsuya Ochiai, Erika Yano, Tarō Takanashi, Rinko Ogasawara, Hayabusa Watanabe, and Yuka Okitsu, respectively.[19]

Post-production

[edit]

At the C3AFA Tokyo 2019 in August, Horikawa revealed that the dubbing was completed, while the storyboard for the film's last scene was not yet finished. At the same time, Nagatani confirmed the film would not be completed by the end of that year and corrected the story's timeline to be taking place four years after the events of the anime series.[20] In September 2019, Ayane Sakura joined the cast as the voice of the new character fully named Kaede Miyai.[21] Additional returning cast from the anime series were revealed in January 2020, including Ikumi Hayama as Tsubaki Andō, Madoka Yonezawa as Sara Satō, Shiori Izawa as Ai Kunogi, Yūsuke Kobayashi as Daisuke Hiraoka, Nobuyuki Hiyama as Seiichi Kinoshita, and Nobuyuki Kobushi as Gōtarō Katsuragi, with Atsushi Tamaru joining them as Kyūji Takahashi.[22]

The final cut of the film was finished on February 3, 2020, with its runtime clocking in under two hours.[23] The film was completed on February 26, 2020, three days before its scheduled theatrical release.[24] By the premiere, Kaede Yuasa,[25] Masayoshi Sugawara,[10] Rie Takahashi,[11] and Genki Muro confirmed their casting in the film.[26]

Music

[edit]

In July 2019, Shirō Hamaguchi was revealed to be composing Shirobako: The Movie after previously doing so for the anime series Shirobako.[19] In December 2019, Fhána revealed that they would be performing the film's ending theme music titled "Trace the Stars" (星をあつめて, Hoshi o Atsumete).[27][c] Fhána's leader Jun'ichi Satō suggested a theme music with the similar tempo as "Somewhen, Some Worlds with You" (いつかの、いくつかのきみとのせかい, Itsuka no, Iku Tsuka no Kimi to no Sekai), the opening theme music of The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior (2014), when the staff wanted to have a "ballad-like" song. They settled with "a mid-tempo song that was relaxing, but also had dramatic and serious elements."[30] The theme music's single was released in Japan on February 26, 2020.[27] That month, Cher Watanabe revealed that he was the composer of the film's opening theme music "Well, It Can't Be Helped" (仕方ないのでやれやれ, Jikata Nai Node Yare Yare), performed by Shito from the Japanese musical duo ReReGRAPHICS.[31]

All music is composed by Hamaguchi, except where indicated

Reception

[edit]

[edit]

Shirobako: The Movie grossed $3.75 million in Japan and $36,091 in South Korea, for a worldwide total of $3.78 million.[3][4]

The film grossed ¥115 million ($1.05 million) in its opening weekend in Japan.[53] It debuted third place at the box office in terms of ticket sales, behind Stolen Identity 2 (2020), but it earned ¥3 million more than the latter due to high ticket price, ranking it second in terms of box office earnings for that weekend.[54] It was also the highest-grossing new film released that weekend, surpassing the 2020 American film The Call of the Wild despite playing in half as many theaters as the latter.[55] The film earned ¥42.9 million ($414,000) in its second weekend, dropping to sixth at the box office,[54] and ¥23.6 million ($221,400) in its third weekend, dropping to eighth.[56] It dropped off the box office ranking in its fourth weekend after earning ¥20 million ($181,300).[57]

Critical response

[edit]

Audiences polled by the Japanese ticketing and publishing company Pia gave Shirobako: The Movie a first-day satisfaction rating of 93.6%,[53] the highest among the films released on February 28–29, 2020.[55]

Daryl Harding of Crunchyroll felt the film was "a love letter to the anime industry, while not (totally) sugarcoating the issues that currently face everyone working in it. Anime and animation itself are wonderful, but Shirobako clearly shows that the industry is teetering on the edge with poor scheduling habits forced upon studios that clearly can't handle it." Harding praised the musical interlude that he described as "an ode to different styles of anime past, blended together into one scene", and how the film depicted an anime being produced in 2020 and referenced other works in the background (specifically One Piece, Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma, Girls und Panzer, and the 2019 South Korean film Parasite). However, Harding noted the little presence of Aoi Miyamori's high school friends in exchange for Kaede Miyai and the runtime had caused the film to not "dive a little deeper into the industry and newer methods of animation that have changed since 2014."[58] Kim Morrissy of Anime News Network graded the film "B", feeling that it was "more like a throwback than a sequel, despite chronologically taking place four years after the ending of the original anime." Morrissy praised how the film depicted the entirety of the characters despite some of them only appearing in the background, stating that "Shirobako is more of an ensemble story anyway", and liked how it gave highlights to the personal lives of side characters such as the animator Ryōsuke Endō "since it's not often that we get to see animators existing outside of their work, even in real life." However, Morrissy noted the "lack of realism" in the film "in favor of pursuing a fairy tale ending."[59]

Brittany Vincent gave the film 7 out of 10 for IGN, feeling that it was "a charming addition to the slice-of-life drama series, and it's undeniably fun to catch up with a wide array of characters who popped up throughout the course of the anime. Unfortunately, while it maintains its enjoyable look at how real-world animation studios operate, it's all too content to tread the same familiar waters. It's worth watching for hardcore fans, but for newcomers, it's not really necessary." Vincent lauded how the film highlighted the moments between the employees of Musashino Animation without leaving anyone out of the spotlight, feeling that it was "satisfying in a distinctly Shirobako way", and featured personal lives of characters outside their work, particularly Endō's interaction with his wife Mayumi. However, Vincent found similarities in terms of story beats when comparing the film with the anime series and felt the progression of the characters after the story's four-year gap "may not seem worthwhile".[60] Writing for The Japan Times, Matt Schley gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, feeling that it "doesn't bring much to the table that the series didn't five years ago." Despite stating that it "doesn't feel essential", he felt the film was "a lot of fun to see these characters again, fighting against scheming rights holders, seemingly impossible deadlines and creative doubts to dream up something that is worth their viewers' time." He felt the film served as "a kind of greatest hits for the original, with many situations and jokes repeated almost line for line", while finding the new characters lacking a dynamic. He noted Miyamori and her high school friends had the same existential questions from the anime series despite the story progressing four years later.[61]
