The original Shirobako television anime focuses primarily on Aoi Miyamori, a production assistant at a fictional anime studio called Musashino Animations.
The website also reported that the Tokyo MX channel will rerun the original Shirobako television anime starting on July 4 at 10:00 p.m. The staff had said that the “story will continue” in the film from the earlier television anime.
The story follows the daily office life and problems that arise in an animation studio, and the workflow in making an anime.
The previously confirmed returning staff includes director Tsutomu Mizushima, animation studio P.A. Works, series script supervisor Michiko Yokote, character designer Ponkan8, animation character designer and chief animation director Kanami Sekiguchi, and production company Infinite.
