Another great volume, giving us more characters and focusing on someone else than the 3 girls. I love how this is so positively about problem solving but also still being dorkily nerdy. The deep dive into foley sound production was so cool!

(Sadly my print edition got a bit f-ed up, so many of the panels on the right side pages were cut in the middle.)

As Midouri and Doumeki are working on sound design, they discover together the importance of the pillow shot. Pillow shots are those quiet moments in a film that are a restful scene of a single item and the sound that goes with it. These scenes help punctuate the mood to give room for the more dramatic, loud moments.

This volume also looks at how art can do more than just reflect the world. It can also influence it. What begins as a project to recreate the sound of the clock tower before the clapper fell becomes a call to fundraise to restore the clock tower through sales of the Eizouken's latest animation.

Continues to be a delightful look into youthful imagination, the hard work and teamwork that goes into collective creations like anime, and the practical matters--budget, technical and time limitations, etc.--that must accompany its creation.

I read the Dark Horse edition translated into English.
