The focus is instead on their synergy and infectious passion. Produced by Science SARU, the series swaps Yuasa's typical young male protagonist for a trio of high-school girls, but it doesn't emphasise their gender. With three oddball protagonists who represent various facets of the profession, the series showcases not just the intense creativity and technical knowhow that go into making a successful animation, but also the practical negotiations with all stakeholders that determine its final shape.

Then, when it becomes clear that their classmate, charismatic fashion model Tsubame Mizusaki, really wants to be an animator, they create an animation club to realize the "ultimate world" that exists in their minds. The producer-type Sayaka Kanamori is the first to notice Asakusa's genius. Though she draws a variety of ideas in her sketchbook, she hasn't taken the first step to creating anime, insisting that she can't do it alone.
