Premise
[edit]The series centers on Natsuko Hirose, a professional animator, who is known for her shut-in personality (represented by her long hair covering her face). Despite that, her first anime is an instant hit. She finally gets the chance to direct a new animated series, only to find herself struggling with the project (because it's a romantic comedy, her least favorite genre to work with) and eventually dies of exhaustion. She later wakes up in the world of A Tale of Perishing, her childhood anime series that led her to becoming an animator. Disillusioned with experiencing the sheer hopelessness of the anime's storyline in person, she later discovers that she has the power to re-animate scenes in order to alter the storyline to survive the cruelness of being in her childhood anime's world.
