With the completion of the Summer Troupe's show, Izumi Tachibana must 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, a man wanting to impress girls through the stage; Omi Fushimi, a college student, amateur photographer, and adept cook; and Sakyou Furuichi, a yakuza member who shares a past connection with the Mankai Company.
But 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?

I've already made a review for the 1st Cour (Spring & Summer), so refer to that if this is the 1st time you're seeing A3! as a whole. For the hopefuls, if you are wondering what the 2nd Cour has in store: no surprise, TL;DR, everything stays the same. Except for some things that made the 2nd Cour better: an overhaul of staff: - Director Masayuki Sakoi taking over full directorial duties - Chief animation director replacing Mariko Komatsu - Art director Kohei Honda replacing Hiroko Tanabe (both from Kusanagi) - Color designer Manami Sasa replacing Yuko Tsumori - Editing-in-charge Hidemitsu Koi joined by Go Sadamatsu (Golden Kamuy, SAO Alternative: GGO) Ina nutshell, everything looks cleaner than the 1st Cour (except the facial designs which still look off, but not as bad as before).
A different repertoire of songs, but I'd have to say that I liked Spring & Summer's OP more than Autumn & Winter's OP, but both are really solid songs. As always, the seasonal Troupe EDs are also really good, I'd like Autumn & Winter's more than Spring & Summer. Regardless though for A3! fans, you're well blessed with great music.
As a whole, A3! the Animation (if you count all 4 seasonal Troupes together) is a must-watch for diehard A3! fans, but for anime-onlys (like myself), I can understand why it doesn't appeal to people that don't recognize the franchise outside of Japan.

A3! Season Autumn & Winter is just as enjoyable as Spring and Summer. The two new troupes are diverse in age and personality. Though they mostly stray to certain archetypes, the characters are likeable. The plays are just as engaging as the past. The stakes in this season is relatively higher than the previous as the final performances will make or break the Mankai Theater. Furthermore, they have an enemy troupe against them called the God Troupe who will do what they can to take them down. I have some minor nitpicks about this season. The morally gray nuance the characters have in the previousseason is not really there at this point. The characters' new rival God Troupe has a god complex who seem cartoonishly evil. They seem more like enemies than rivals because they are so into destroying Mankai by any means necessary for no good reason. The God Troupe is a weird bunch.
Production quality is more or less the same as Spring and Summer. The character designs are nice and I like the way lighting is used in this season. That being said, I began to notice its limitations in animation, namely when the characters nearly got to a fist fight. Characters would seem stiff, and while the performances still made the plays fun, the animation held them back a little bit. At least their faces look okay.
Overall, this is a fun addition to A3 and I recommend it if you already seen Spring and Summer.

-- Fluff ratings -- Art: 7 Best part of the show. Sound: 5 Mediocre. Nothing stands out -- literally. -- Actual evaluation --Okay so... This show... I was originally not sure to write a review or not. Partly, it is because I needed time to collect my thoughts but here goes:
Character: 3
Pretty much the worst part of this show is this. This show spanned 2x12 episodes. That's a total of 24. It has likely a character count exceeding its episode count and the regretable part of this, is that it developed NOTHING. The MC is effectively an audience insert. The guys are almost equally unimportant as each other aside from the two main leads of each "season"'s troupe. Even amongst the leads of the troupes, they feel bland. There is little to no development and whatever amount there is is generally cut short by the fact that each troupe only really appear for 6 episodes.
Story: 4
The original premise and execution of the first 6 episodes are fine -- in fact at that point I still wanted to watch more of this show. What went wrong was that whoever wrote this decided to do this in a repetitive manner.
Director: "Hey the first 6 episodes were great!! Okay man let's restart every 6 episodes with a fresh troupe to do it over and over again!"
Guy A: "Hey man that's great idea!"
Guy B: "Yeah! It worked for Re:Zero, people are suckers for watching the same thing over and over in the same show!"
Guy C: "No guys, then we will have more characters than we have budget to develop and also repetitive writing will bore the audience-"
(Guy C was tossed out the window.)
Right.
So there.
If story had the potential to be a 5, it got dropped to a 4 for exactly this.
Overall: 5
I watch everything that comes out. This show was the lemme-watch-it-if-i-close-enough-browser-tabs-from-completeing-the-other-shows-k-thx.

The choice of story structure in A3! is bizarre. The time spent on the seasonal troupes is evenly divided, so you get six episodes with each of them. The show starts off with recruiting mostly theater newbies and watching them learn how to act. Then, six episodes later, the show throws them to the side to focus on finding five new guys, who you watch learn how to act, get tossed aside, and repeat. And repeat is the keyword. The whole show is just watching some bumbling idiots learn how to act four times in row. Most of the characters don't get enough screentime todifferentiate themselves from the cast of 20 boys, so instead they have to fall back on one-trick pony gimmicks to have any memorability. There's occasionally some decent drama, though nothing unique, and most episodes end up quite boring.
The second cour is at least marginally better than the first. You have a solid character dynamic between two boys in the Autumn troupe who start out hating each other but end up forming some grudging respect for each other. The Winter troupe is where the show decides to introduce some supernatural elements for the first time 19 episodes in, including getting the boys stuck in a literal time loop. It's too little too late to really recommend, but hey, if you've made it this far, you might as well finish it out.
