Fixing Todays A3 Episode Because It Made Me Mad So I Made It Better For Myself

Fixing today’s A3 episode because it made me mad so I made it better for myself

They kith

As they should

Anyways where were the finger guns

Where was Azuma????

Why was Reni there instead!???

IMO the episode was rushed, the animation was bad, and they cut out way to much to the point where things don’t make since. I love Sakizu but it feels like the animations spent more time on them and the lighting of the episode than the plot which made it kinda suck Ngl

This is just my opinion obviously and feel free to talk about it with me or have your own opinion on the episode! It’s all fine!

That’s just me ranting lol

^^^^

All of that. Literally all of it. The episode was low key high key a disappointment and I was really upset.

However I do think that the voice acting was fine, but it was the animation that made Taichi’s VA seem much worse and over dramatic, because they animated Taichi so stiff and awkward.

This weeks Anime EP has me screeching, but not in a good way this time.

First of all, wait a sec TAICHI. WHAT IS THIS???

His hair is only dyed on A QUARTER of his HEAD? WHY WOULD DO THIS TO ME? I feel BETRAYED, utterly BETRAYED. Taichi has always given off moron energy, and it was an endearing trait, until I saw this.

I just CANT, I can’t TOLERATE IT.

I still love Taichi I just can’t get over this. This will always bother me. There’s no amount of space or time that could ever make me feel any better about THAT hairstyle. I’ll just do my very best to forget I ever saw it.

Secondly, what the heck did they do to Taichi’s confession scene? Like all of it??? I was really looking forward to it, and I was expecting some bad animation at this point, but not this. The camera angle cut SO MANY TIMES, that I literally couldn’t focus on what they were saying, and there was so little animation and none of it lined up with the audio.

Like, LOOK AT THIS. His mouth doesn’t even open when he makes that sound that’s SO UNNATURAL.

Not to mention the fact that Taichi’s voice acting was kinda terrible.

I’m no voice acting expert or anything like that, but as a normal human being, the way Taichi said like everything this episode feels so OFF. I feel like he was way over acting the crying, and when he’s performing his portrait he gets way too happy in the middle there when he’s talking about getting to perform a main part as a part of his deal with Beni. Like it made the whole performance feel fake. Just because of the way he said it.

Now, whether any of this is worse than normal for this anime, I don’t know. Maybe this is par for the course, and this only seems worse to be because of how much I was looking forward to this episode. That’s entirely possible, maybe I’m just too emotionally invested in this scene.

I was more that just disappointed by this episode, I don’t even know where to begin with how much I didn’t like.

I mean the cutting camera angles really, really, ticked me off. I mean, I could have drawn up a better storyboard for that scene in an hour and I haven’t even finished my degree.

Even so, even if the animation was terrible though, I feel like I could have dealt with it if the voice acting wasn’t so OFF. Like the voice actor is the same as the one from the game, so I don’t even know WHY it’s so bad.

On the bright side though.

Sakyo is pretty.

I’m going to say, I’m getting more and more sure that like all of the animation budget for this anime is spent on Sakyo, just ALL OF IT. I’m not even joking anymore, I genuinely think that this anime is playing favorites and over animating Sakyo.

I mean I’m not complaining.

Maybe 👉👈 some Muku and Yuki 👉👈 just being cute 👉👈 for the request thing? 👉👈

brooooo I love Muku & Yuki anything

------

“What do you think of this one Yuki-Kun?” Muku asked, shoving the manga in his friends face, his mouth beaming from behind the volume.

“I can’t see it if you shove it that close you idiot.” Yuki scolded, yet despite his harsh words, he scooted himself backwards to see the book. Their school was having a costume contest for a fundraiser, and Yuki had promised Muku he would help him cosplay a manga character, little did he know how difficult of a task that would be.

These authors always add way too many dumb details, isn’t that a pain to draw? Yuki thought to himself, looking at the cover of the newest suggestion. It had a prince, purple hair and bright blue eyes, in a purple basic prices outfit, though it obviously had taken some reference from historic western military uniforms with the golden button placement, and the sword at his side. At the prince's side was a princess, long blonde locks falling past her shoulders with little roses scattered through her hair. She was wearing a baby blue gown, with mesh shoulders and puffed sleeves that tightened at her wrists. Little butterflies were scattered throughout the gown.

“Hm, this one seems doable, I will have yo go and buy some new purple fabric, but I already have some buttons leftover from when I revamped the costumes for RomeJuli, plus I’m sure the Elite Swindler has a sword you could borr-”

“Oh, Yuki-Kun?” Muku’s meek voice broke his train of thought, changing Yuki’s attention to focus on his troupe-mate.

“Hm? What is it Muku? Did you change your mind?”

“Um, not exactly.” Muku’s cheeks seemed to go almost as pink as his hair as he carefully took back the manga, pointing to the princess on the cover.

“I was sort of hoping you would do that one... I love the heroine in this manga. She's so feisty and strong, not caring what others think about her. She’s so cool... like you Yuki-Kun. So I was sort of hoping I could dress like her if that’s okay...” He held up the book to hide his flushed face, quietly muttering how he knew he could never be like her because he was nothing but a “discarded piece of lettuce that fell from a salad and onto the floor where ht would collect dust and not even be enjoyed by the ants.”

“Okay.” Yuki's voice stopped Muku before he could continue on his tangent, and he peeked from behind the novel to look at him.

“Really?”

“Sure, I can’t see why it would be a problem. It’s  areally pretty dress...” Yuki picked up another volume of the same series, flipping though to find a full-length view of the gown and started writing down some notes.

“Oh... Thank you Yuki-Kun!” Muku beamed, going over to hug his friend only to be stopped because of possible wrinkles.

“Oh, sorry Yuki-Kun, I wasn't thinking...” Muku gave a nervous chuckle, but Yuki shook his head and laughed.

“Stop apologizing wonder-boy. You can make it up to me by showing off my work and placing second in that contest.”

“Second?”

“Behind me, obviously.”

So that’s what happened, and a few weeks later the pair came home from school each holding a respective ribbon and a smile for being called the “best pair of princesses St. Flora has ever had.”

Requests??

I’m tired, have writers block and won’t work on my big fic, and procrastinating, so please give me requests. I will write any a3 related thing that isn’t an X reader or smut, I want to break out of my comfort zones and not only do my otps, so uh

hand them over :)

(I also won’t do pedophilia in any way which includes banita and omitai)

my fics will be posted on A03 when they accept my request so if I write anything long that I’m really proud of it’ll be there

I also may start ranting about my WIP one of these days, so uh prepare for that lol.

May I introduce you in the Sakoda cult? Where we worship and praise A3′s true bestest boy?

Y’all better stop sleeping on Best Boy Sakoda

Ok, so can I just say, that of all the side characters, Sakoda is HANDS DOWN the best one. Seriously, every time he comes on screen I end up smiling and laughing. Now that we get to see more content with him and more about Sakoda through Azami’s arc, I really feel like I get him better.

First of all, Sakoda isn’t just some underling of Sakyo’s. I know that how we all think of him, and that’s the way it appears when he first appears on screen, but Sakoda purposely goes out of his way to make himself useful because he’s grateful to Sakyo for picking him up off the streets. We don’t get much context as to exactly what that means because it’s only briefly mentioned in a conversation between the two of them, but I think it’s clear that he’s just grateful to him.

Plus, Sakoda just seems to be a genuinely helpful person, even when Azami asked him to go grab some of his things from home he doesn’t hesitate to agree. This also happens in various backstages, and other small little clips, Sakoda isn’t always being ordered around by Sakyo, it’s just most of the time.

In fact, I’d imagine that if things really did go down the way they’re telling it, and Sakyo took Sakoda in. That Sakoda probably started following Sakyo around before Sakyo started ordering him around, and after he realized there was no way to get rid of Sakoda, he just accepted it.

Can we also talk about how Sakoda got so angry for Azami’s sake, like he literally just started yelling like mad at the kingpin of this yakuza like it was nothing. I get that hes been a part of this family for years now but, even that’s not enough to exempt this.

Sakoda is like seriously yelling and almost insulting the head of the family in front of his son and I was expecting heads to roll, ok. I was proud as heck of him anyway and I was cheering him on, but I was just sitting here waiting for the fallout.

Like, I think it’s more impactful that he’s yelling like this because of how genuinely kind and helpful Sakoda’s always been, he’s never been shown being anything other than upbeat and supportive, so when he ups and starts SCREAMING, I seriously got goosebumps.

I think it’s also worth noting, that Sakoda was getting so worked up because of how he just dissed Azami’s dreams like they were childish and stupid, Sakoda isn’t upset because of something personal, he’s upset for Azami, and that’s important.

The best part of all this, the hammer never does come down, there’s no punishment, just Azami explaining his dream to his dad and him accepting that dream, and not only that, but telling him to go for it and not to look back.

Not only is there no punishment but the Boss drops a not so subtle hint that Sakoda would be the heir to the family in Azami’s place, and Sakoda just COMPLETELY MISSES IT. Sakyo even brings it up again later and it just goes completely over Sakoda’s head.

I’m LoSING IT.

Sakoda, the myth, the legend, he walks into the room yells and talks back to the boss, and walks out the heir to the family.

Absolutely ICONIC.
