Synopsis

Shirobako is a term used in the movie industry. It means a VHS tape enclosed in a white box, and also the first thing a producer can obtain when the work is complete.
"SHIROBAKO" is the anime which honestly, softly and sometimes rigidly depicts the busy daily scenes in the reality of the animation industry.

The 5 members of Kamiyama High School Animation Club have made a promise to definitely make an anime together in the future. They made the promise with the donuts of Hyotan-ya. Each member is involved in the anime production in their own ways after graduation. Miyamori Aoi is slowly getting close toward her dream, through the productions of "Exodus" and "The 3rd Aerial Girls Squad", gradually getting an idea on what she really wants to do.

Four years have passed since then. Aoi, who spends her time worrying about her daily tasks, is called by Watanabe after the morning meeting and is told that she will be in charge of a new movie project. But there is a big loophole in the project. Can this company in the current situation really be able to achieve success in this project...? Anxious Aoi begins to work with new partners Miyai Kaede and Musani members toward the completion of the project. Can the movie meet the the deadline..?
