A3! Season Spring & Summer

I've watched the show when it first started and when it came back, and it's been a while since I last re-watched it but I would like to say that this anime is good, it stick's to the game plot and the characters,they got the original voice cast from the game, yes the animations was not that good at sometimes but it's not that bad, there were some parts that was not included in the anime from the game *maybe because of budget or timing * but I think its a nice way for playing the game. Speaking of the game I do recommend playingit because *to me* it's more entertaining and you get to learn/more of the characters and their backstory. Over all I will give this a 7/10 It's good but not great, however I'm looking forward to the Autumn and Winter anime adaptation.

I personally think that this anime is underrated. I liked the art style, character setting and character development though the sound effects were nothing out of ordinary. Considering that it has 12 episodes only, I think the story progression was decent as well. I liked how every character had developed with the flow of the story and how the story was not following and orienting around one character only but all of them. I'll be looking forward to the next season~ ( I liked the tringle obsessed guy xd and I somehow can relate with tenma with the whole being a hard headed and kind of arrogant guy)

Another anime of a game adaptation, but not the usual kind of "idols" that we'd expect. Instead, it's all about theater troupe acting. A simple act of gesture can go a long way...or so it's said. Based on the game A3!, the player (director) must navigate through the simple plot about saving a theatre company (that's the Mankai Company) from the demolition of its "good ol' days", which specializes in 4 troupes that's named after the 4 seasons. Sounds simple enough? The anime also has that plot, but for the sake of time, the 1st cour here samples the Spring and Summer Troupes, with every troupebeing unique and of itself that's based on the past experiences of the niche in talents. Each and every troupe's group has a specialized theme, of which its 5 grandiose bishounen members must venture though high hell and back to cooperate with one another, and going through their hard-felt journeys of cohesive learning makes for one of the show's finest moments. The times where everyone couldn't see eye-to-eye, or have disagreements pertaining to personality or plain characteristics, all these are the hallmark of good and successful group camaraderie, and by the end of it, the groups are able to pull off their success "stories", which are the icing on the cake, and able to save Mankai Theatre from one step closer to shutting down for good. Different characterizations for all, and while generic, is still good. Needless to say, the production for this series is quite horrid, but overall poor. A Studio 3Hz and P.A. Works collaboration (with 2 directors), the show really doesn't look any gorgeous, but it resembles ugly paintwork jobs all around, even for the character designs, which look at all decent to the honest eye. Originally set to finish in the Winter 2020 season, the production problems suspended the show for a postponed season (that is Spring), so that's that. Despite that, it's bearable to watch though. Music? Of course. When it comes to "idol" shows (I'm not saying this is one), music helps a lot in gaining traction, and the songs here are fine though. From the OP to the season troupe's EDs, they sound fine really, nothing that will blow you away (that is if you've played the game and enjoyed for what it is). Overall, a fine taste of what the series will be like for a start, since there's still the 2nd cour (comprising of the Autumn and Winter troupes) coming up this Fall (postponed from Summer 2020). But as for now: "The world is your oyster." To build the stage together and act their hearts out.

I went in thinking this was going to be way worse than it was. Despite being better than expected, it at no point was a memorable experience for me. The characters bring a sense of life to this anime and that is effectively it. They have interesting a realistic stories that are easily accessible to anyone. I teared up a couple of times at the writing with how well they handle the emotions of characters, and I think this is the only selling point to this series. On the other hand, the animation was boring and stiff, and there are multiple points inthe show where so little movement was happening at all that I was surprised when something moved. The show felt like a visual novel. There were sequences where characters will hold conversations off screen while we looked at a piece of background art, or characters would be talking but to skip on animating anything at all we were made to look at a still image of the character's body below the head. Comparing that to other series I have watched and it practically put me to sleep. If your show is going to have every character be attractive, the least you could do is animate them decently. This could be a good series if they animation team starts animating the characters who have so much life to them. My recommendation if you are considering watching is that this could easily be skipped, but if you feel like watching focus on the characters and their growth and try not to focus on the animation for your own sake.
