The Meanings of Western Perspective in japan. (I did a presentation on this during my Asain art history class back at Community college. A little extra out of anime but facinating to see the influence of Ukiyo-e anyway and how perspective played a role in japanese art. Ukiyo-e is pretty much the early versions of manga)

Actual Anime/Manga about Making anime/manga:
Shirobako:
Its an anime mostly artist can relate to. A reality tv about anime. It does show the actual way that japanese studio work and its pretty accurate to our life! I was welled up in tears when they talked about 3D vs 2D, how her mom was appreciating her name in the credits, and the day they spend as friends. I Â was also screaming thats adobe after effects. Its really raw anime, and how life compares.

Barakamon:
Anime/manga that is about a Calligrapher. Not really about manga but it still a life of an artist. He punches a Critic, and is exiled to an island to litterally breath more life into his work. With a little flair of Yotsuba, because of the kawaii kid who calls the Caligrapher, Sensei.

Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun
An anime that is just willing to make fun of shoujo archetypes, and put Nozaki who in reality is pretty ignorant about love, and yet can write a romance shoujo manga. He seek inspiration from every day life.

Bakuman:
Don't know too much about the other volumes, but its at most about making a manga and the realities surrounding it.
