Troubled Production/Anime and Manga

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Troubled Productions shown in Anime and Manga include:

  • Paranoia Agent: the production of an anime series is increasingly troubled by Executive Meddling, staff infighting, deadlines approaching, supernatural bad vibes everywhere, and the sociopath killing everybody related to the production.
  • The school film directed by Haruhi Suzumiya. Among the things going wrong are a cast of amateur school kids doubling as equally inexperienced filming staff, the main actress developing eye powers, doves changing colors, a cat gaining sentience and speech, and Haruhi taking her usual self to higher levers of jerkassery. That they had an actual video at the end of such a disaster of a filming to exhibit at the school festival was a little miracle by itself.
