 Anime |
 Episode 5 |
 0h25m |
Today I watched another episode of Girls Und Panzer, so… anecodote time about one of my other favourite anime, Shirobako. Shirobako is an anime about anime production.
The director in Shirobako, Kinoshita Seiichi, is haunted by one of his past anime, Jiggly Jiggly Heaven, where production utterly broke down and there was a famously badly animated episode aired, followed by both the final slots being filled by recap episodes. Now Kinoshita Seiichi is based on Mizushima Seiji, who has never had that kind of failure.
But another director we should talk about is Mizushima Tsutomu. He’s important for this story, because he’s the director of both Girls Und Panzer, and Shirobako. And Girls Und Panzer’s original run had collapsed, with the final two episodes replaced by recap episodes. So there’s a good chance that Girls Und Panzer is Jiggly Jiggly Heaven. Though at least Girls Und Panzer never got as far as actually airing the cursed episode.
