ANIME SUPREMACY!

After quitting her job to join an animation production company, Hitomi spends years working her way up the ladder until she finally gets to direct an anime series. However, she has to win the cooperation of stubborn craftsman-like staff to create an anime to her satisfaction. At the same time, the producer is focused on the bottom line and cuts no slack for newbie Hitomi. To add to her troubles, Hitomi's anime occupies the same time slot as the hotly anticipated new anime from genius director Chiharu. Hitomi feels crushed by the pressure, but the seemingly confident Chiharu also feels the weight of everyone’s expectations. Sparks fly as they head for a showdown! This heartfelt and hilarious comedy-drama about pursuing your dream without compromise provides great insights into how things actually get done in the competitive world of anime.
