Ep. 3: Production staff coordinate retakes and resolve technical delays before the fourth episode airs.

Assistant Yumi Iguchi initiates retakes for the fourth episode, prompting a heavy workload for production assistant Aoi. Aoi delivers key frames for the ninth episode to director Masashi Yamada, who requests early review of pending materials. She subsequently passes these to supervisor Rinko Ogasawara, then to inspector Chiemi Doumoto, after correcting a misdirected file. Aoi contacts freelance animator Mitsuhide Kisa to complete missing frames, but his laziness causes delays compounded by a truck stuck in roadworks. On the eve of the broadcast, an FTP server issue delays color shots from an external studio. Production assistant Erika Yano comforts a panicked Aoi, and the team ultimately delivers the episode on time, with the retakes receiving positive feedback.
