CATDOLL: Kenji Horikawa: Director Mizushima Tsutomu is too busy, no sequel to Shirobako is planned

The second installment of PA WORKS' "Girls at Work" series, Shirobako, has been well received and attracted strong attention since it was released because it depicts the real situation in the animation industry. Since the work, including the voice actor Shizuka, has not really achieved success, many people are looking forward to the sequel. However, the official recently revealed that there will be no second season for the time being.

This was revealed by Kenji Horikawa, the president of PA WORKS, the production company of Shirobako, during an interview. He said that although there are enough ideas for the second season, Mizushima Tsutomu, who is responsible for directing the work, is fully booked in the next few years, so even if they want to entrust Mizushima Tsutomu to produce the second season or the movie, it is impossible. Now they have not considered the sequel at all, and even OVA is difficult.

To this end, many netizens expressed their opinions:

Then let's put the sequel a few years later. If the sequel keeps pace with the real time, everyone will have new developments in various aspects, and there will be more NETA.

Alas, some good works are ruined by forcing a sequel. If it ends beautifully, it will leave a very deep impression on people, and the voice actors in the voice acting will also make people feel promising. And there is no need to stick to the current lineup, can't we give the idea to others to produce it? In addition, can't we do a play within a play of the work?

Mizushima Tsutomu is really too famous. You can see that this season of "Prison School" said that it would not be made without him. So the director's plan was arranged several years ago. Of course, it feels like I was forced to participate in the OVA and theatrical version of "Girls und Panzer".

It's not bad to come to 7 years later. Meow Sen was completely destroyed due to various blows and became a person with no highlights in the industry. As a result, he was decisively performed a "Friendship Breaking Face Punch" by a hot-blooded new producer 233.

Why not just let his brother Seiji produce it? It will be in sync with the work!
