A3! Season Autumn & Winter

About A3! Season Autumn & Winter

Here is what A3! Season Autumn & Winter is about, retold in plain terms: a slice of life and drama anime by P.A. Works, Studio 3Hz (2020). In short: With the completion of the Summer Troupe's show, Izumi Tachibana needs to now recruit five members for the next sub-troupe, the Autumn Troupe. Luckily, enough people arrive at the audition: Banri Settsu, a talented but boastful jack of all trades; Juuza Hyoudou, a stone-faced delinquent passionate about acting; Taichi Nanao.

Also worth knowing: Between the non-existent teamwork and multiple threats jeopardizing the show's success, Izumi realizes that the troupe might be more difficult to handle than she first thought. How will she be able to unite them in time for their debut performance?

With slice of life at the core, small, quiet moments and character warmth are the main appeal. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want a calm, character-first watch.
