PA works’ stuff is a hit or miss. Shirobako is still my top anime from them.
They really do well in this genre: slice of life + personal development drama involving a numinous taste from the environment both with beautifully drawn locale/scenery and the tint of super/paranatural.
Shiroi Suna no Aquatope is about two women and their dreams… but also about everyone.
I thought the show ended at episode 12… and it could have… but apparently this is the halfway point.
I really like how they took the route where not everything gets resolved in the desired way…
It reminds me of the alchemical and Jungian perspective of death and resurrection. When a way of living dies it allows for another to rise from it.
