Oh Tsumugi, going through the stress of life...because living a life especially as an idol isn't easy.

In times like this as a leader, he definitely needed the support of others.

Well that whole time loop was a good opportunity to develop Tsumugi and Tasuku but especially that whole contest against the god theater, also it was nice to see every character from Mankai

That large group shot was nice to see, even if most of the details were lost because of how many characters had to fit in one picture. But definitely rare.

Why are the faces still so inconsistently bad though??? It's legit making me cry.

So that whole Groundhog Day effect to both Tsumugi and Tasuku a.k.a the "urban legend", the testament stays true: unless they make up in a specific fashion, the time loop will continue flowing between the Winter Troupe.

And it was an impromptu candid street act that bonded the two actors back together during their younger days. Though the journey taken was different, it was fate that bonded them together in God Troupe, and now in Mankai Company. Good character development, I'd say.

Ready for the act-off between Mankai Company and God Troupe? YES, most definitely, their Final Act but with their competitor's strong niche and grandiose theme. Bring the challenge on!

Top part of the entire Mankai Company? YEAP. Now that's HOT and RARE.

And keep on complaining, because the poor quality has been that way since Spring & Summer.

Does this relationship problem really need supernatural help (Deus ex machina for correct term)? I find it kinda strange to suddenly have timeloop in realistic anime.

Anyway, there are so many things I love in this episode.
First, the entire company is back, and look like everyone will help in some way. At risk of Winter Troupe being less important, but it's yet to be seen.
Second, our leader Tsumugi and Tasuku have childhood relationship! And in front of tormented doll, they almost make out instead of make up! LOL, Might be the strongest yaoi ship in this series.

Back again with the Winter Troupe/Fuyugumi arc!

The Torment Doll strikes again, loved the 'attempts' at trying to convince the doll. That street act always hit deeper than the rest, so I'm so glad to see it animated! Also, please tell Tsumugi what you were going to say Tasuku. I love you and all Taichi, but that was the worst timing you had there T.T

Whole company together, I think I'll just ignore the low quality, but yes, all the acting babies in one room for once ^v^

The theme angels has arrived, causing discussion. Tasuku lowkey wants Tsumu's acting to be the key point of the play. Wonder if they'll animate the


Sympathy of the Angel, yay! Finally, we get to see the scenes, outfits and more fuyu drama ^^

TasuTsumu is quite the popular ship, but quite frankly, fuyugumi is said to be the gayest troupe by many fans. There are fans who even ship fuyugumi as a poly ship, due to what a character will say (it will DEFINITELY not be cut, as it is a key turning point). I may or may not be one of them, but you will understand after seeing their dynamic together as five

Tsumugi and Tasuku interaction somehow funny. That moments of them to convince their made up were hilarious. They did it with a lot of effort. Lol.

But sometimes, you just need to be honest with your true feelings. By saying it out loud would make you feel better. Then, it could connect well for you to your partner, made it easy for you all to made up like the old times. Yes, its same with their situations. Its time for Tsumugi to not running away again, while in fact Tasuku must support him as a good friend and stop being a jerk. At the end, everything went well, and they finally succeeded get out of the loop. Goodbye, weird looking plushie. You were really help a lot xd.

A big decision has been made to the whole Mankai Company. Yes, to accepted the challenge of act-off! What kind of play they had there with such a broadly imagery of angel? Then, they've come up with a tragedy storyline. At the end, its a tragic story, full of mature feel, by using an angel kind of personality as a leading role? Its sounds sadly, but truly intriguing me to see their real act. So, lets see the next!

For a moment I thought the magic doll thing was a setup created by the remaining Winter Troupe members and Izumi + Triangle Boy but nope, it was really magic. It still doesn't explain how Misumi wasn't affected by the time loops but eh, he's mysterious.

I wonder if three episodes will be enough to develop the three characters left + show the act, although I wouldn't be surprised if Arisugawa remains a joke character like what happened to Citrion and Misumi.

That's why it's so baffling to me. I remember it had a troubled start, delays and all because covid, I could and did chalk it up to all that. But it's been so consistently bad ever since, it's like it was outsourced to a junior high or some such. Even weirder how they look perfectly fine in one frame and then completely off in the next.

It's actually a pretty common theme in joseimuke and otome games, see Uta no Prince-sama for instance. And I wouldn't say A3! is realistic.

I would prefer Tasuku being the leader of the Winter troupe.
He has a lot of leader qualities. He can take control of the situation, and make decisions very clearly. Despite being hotheaded, he is also aggressive enough to be a leader. He also knows that Tasuku was running away from his acting passion by leaving town. He has standards.

Tsumugi is very timid and gentle. He reminds me of Hinata Hyuga.

It was so nice seeing all the troupes together. They have over 20 members now including the female manager and the other staff member. Muku, Sakuya, and Tenma are my favorites. I miss the Spring and Summer troupes. I wish Muku had more screen time. He seems very sweet.

Time loop? Who turned on Steins Gate?

I almost forgot about the triangle guy. A lot of crazies in that dorm. I'd move out. But this piss poor animation budget needs the money, so maybe I should stay for charity's sake.

ah this is what I enjoyed about this series in the first place. Already the Winter troupe has proven to be a lot better than the Fall one, and nice to see the two once friends being able to patch things up.


Now that they're challenging God Troupe, masaka time for ultimate collab loL?
