I'm Sick of Recap Episodes! (1x3)

Air date: Oct 23, 2014

General animation supervisory assistant Yumi Iguchi is impressed by the new iteration of the 4th episode & decides to begin work on the retakes. Aoi is faced with a heavy workload regarding the 4th & 9th episodes. After Rinko checks the key frames, Aoi sends them to in-between inspector Chiemi Dōmoto, then realizes she mistakenly sent one of the cuts to the camera department. She finds that one of the key frames she requested has not been delivered to her & calls lazy freelance key animator Mitsuhide Kisa to finish the cuts. Although he begins work, the process is delayed due to his laziness. The missing key frame is stuck on a truck being held back in roadworks. On the day before episode 4 is due to air, a problem with the studio's FTP server results in the delivery of an external studio's color shots getting delayed.
