If you loved xxxHOLiC The Movie: A Midsummer Night's Dream, try SHIROBAKO the Movie

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Tsutomu Mizushima, and they sit in Animation / Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to xxxHOLiC The Movie: A Midsummer Night's Dream, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What SHIROBAKO the Movie is

Here's a film that remembers how hard animation production is. Aoi Miyamori returns to a struggling Musashino Animation to manage a new theatrical project with a tight deadline. It is a film about the nuts and bolts, for those who like that sort of thing.
