![]() But such adaptational touches are much obliged given the frantic nature of the original manga, and also do wonders to cover over the fact that this episode only adapts two chapters of the manga. Of course, that’s not even mentioning the fantastic animation which is present all throughout this episode – it hardly stops moving, in fact. It also features more of a distinct back-and-forth between reality and imagination: the debris that heads towards Midori and Tsubame outside of the imaginary clearly symbolizes Tsubame’s need to pee, and her entrance into the imagination sphere is clearly linked to the fact that she joins Midori on the roof on Kanamori’s orders. Nevertheless, there are the voice actors, who are doing wonders with these lines, and Science SARU have changed the story from the source material in interesting, effective ways: the spaceman sequence, one of two flights of fancy that takes place in this episode, is much longer in the anime than it was in the original manga (where it only took up a couple of panels). One of the best examples of this is the scene where the three girls ‘mourn’ the loss of the money that they earned from submitting the home video of Midori to a TV show: Kanamori wishes for more, Tsubame doesn’t understand why her friends are so worried about some chump change, and Midori is more focused on the raccoon that suddenly appears outside the clubhouse.Īll of this is taken directly from Sumito Owara’s original manga, so too much praise can’t be heaped on the anime adaptation. Just like in last week’s episode, character dialogue in Eizouken episode 3 is excellent, serving to inform the reader of each characters’ personalities in a subtle way. Much of what gets across the core dynamic of the trio and the differing personalities of our main characters in this episode is simply transplanted from Sumito Owara’s original manga. Tsubame is excitable and passionate, willing to go along with anything as long as it interests her – including, but not limited to Midori’s flights of fancy: a spaceman-themed version of which is so prominent in the first half of this episode. Midori is scatterbrained and eccentric, always seemingly in a world of her own and full of ideas. ![]() Kanamori is the level-headed adult figure of the group, always trying to keep the others in line and on task. But Tsubame and Midori are more interested in playing spaceman than anything else – much to the frustration of Kanamori, who is actually trying to achieve the task at hand.īy now, the dynamic of the main trio should be becoming clear. This first part sees the main trio attempt to repair their ramshackle clubhouse and think about how they are going to shore up their already-tenuous existence as a school club. Try as she might, Kanamori isn’t quite going to be able to pin down Midori and Tsubame and get them to do some proper work, and nothing showcases this more than the first part of Eizouken episode 3. Interstellar DistractionsĪlthough this episode might be nominally about starting production on the Eizouken’s first short film, that’s easier said than done. ![]() While this does mean major diversions from the source material as a result, these diversions are mostly effective and only serve to better present the appeal of the original manga in animated form. In terms of adaptation, this episode follows the basic structure set out in chapters 4 and 5 of the original manga by Sumito Owara but sees fit to insert several new scenes and extend already-existing ones when necessary. The result is an episode that is part production drama, part imagination dreamscape and one of the most enjoyable of the series thus far. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! episode 3 attempts to track the initial stages of the development of the club’s first short film, but the hyperactive nature of two-thirds of the main trio means that there’s still plenty of room for irreverence along the way. Please flair your submissions as it helps distinguishing them from other posts.Now that the Motion Picture Club or ‘Eizouken’ has been set up, at least for the time being, it’s time for Midori, Kanamori, and Tsubame to hunker down and do some work.
