Seriously? For real?
[00:08] Konoha
I traveled back in time?!
SIGN Personal Computer Shop "R"
[00:13] Konoha
Wait!
[00:14] Konoha
Hold that thought!
[00:15] Konoha
Let's think about this!
[00:16] Konoha
Maybe I just made a mistake!
[00:20] Konoha
That's right!
[00:20] Konoha
Let's calm down before
I make a fool of myself!
[00:22] Konoha
There's no way an SSR event like
time travel would happen to me!
[00:28] Konoha
I must have taken a wrong turn!
[00:30] Konoha
That's why it's a different building!
[00:32] Konoha
Tee-hee!
[00:33] Mamoru
Hey!
[00:35] Mamoru
What's the big deal, running
into me like that?!
[00:38] Mamoru
Get off me already!
[00:40] Konoha
S-S-S-Sorry! Sorry!
[00:42] Konoha
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!
[00:43] Konoha
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!
[00:45] Mamoru
Seriously, what's wrong with you?
[00:48] Konoha
U-Um...
[00:50] Konoha
Wasn't there a game company here before?
[00:53] Mamoru
Game company?
[00:56] Mamoru
Yeah, this is the place.
[00:57] Konoha
Huh?

[03:00] Meiko
Bad news, Mamoru-kun!
[03:03] Meiko
Kao-san wants you to take a look
at a new error we're getting!
[03:07] Mamoru
You're not going to find any bugs.
[03:09] Mamoru
My program is perfect.
[03:11] Meiko
Oh yeah, were you talking
with someone outside?
[03:15] Mamoru
I bumped into a weirdo.
[03:17] Meiko
Huh?
[03:20] Mamoru
So sad to see, at the end
of the year at that.
[03:23] Konoha
Wh-Wh-Wh-What do I do?!
[03:25] Konoha
I really, really traveled back in time!
[03:29] Konoha
My workplace is a different company now,
[03:31] Konoha
and everyone in Akiba's low key
dressed for a funeral!
[03:35] Konoha
Why did this happen to me?!
[03:38] Konoha
I'm not cut out for an ordeal like this!
[03:42] Konoha
This is the worst of the worst!

What do I do now?
[03:56] Konoha
I don't know who I can turn to...
[04:17] Mamoru
So damn noisy!
[04:18] Mamoru
Oh, it's the girl from earlier.
[04:24] Konoha
U-Um...
[04:26] Konoha
I know this is a lot to ask of you,
but can you please help me?!
[04:30] Mamoru
Huh?
[04:31] Konoha
Until recently, I was in the year 2023!
[04:35] Konoha
For whatever reason, I traveled
back in time to 1992,
[04:40] Konoha
and now I'm in big trouble!
[04:41] Konoha
I don't have anyone else to ask for help!
[04:42] Mamoru
What the hell is she saying?
[04:44] Kaori
Friend of yours?
[04:45] Mamoru
Not a chance!
[04:46] Meiko
She looks so cold.
[04:48] Meiko
Why don't you let her in?
[04:50] Mamoru
Huh? Why, exactly?!
[04:51] Kaori
I agree.
[04:53] Mamoru
Huh?!
[04:54] Mamoru
Hey, stop!
[05:00] Kaori
You must be freezing.
[05:02] Kaori
Come inside.
[05:05] Konoha
Th-Thank you very much!
[05:07] Konoha
You're angels!
[05:09] Konoha
Total angels!
[05:12] Group

I'm in a real life-or-death situation here!
[05:41] Kyonshi
Hey, Mamoru.
[05:42] Kyonshi
Did you understand a single word of that?
[05:44] Kyonshi
I don't have a clue what she just said.
[05:46] Mamoru
Nope.
[05:48] Mamoru
Okay.
[05:49] Mamoru
Let's call the police.
[05:52] Mamoru
She's just an otaku
with anime on the brain.
[05:55] Mamoru
It's obvious looking at her.
[05:57] Konoha
No!
[05:58] Konoha
Not the police!
[05:59] Konoha
Not the polic—
[06:00] Konoha
Please don't!
[06:02] Konoha
Don't kick me out of Akiba, pwetty pwease!
[06:05] Mamoru
Stop talking like that!
[06:07] Konoha
Wh-What do I do? What do I do?!
[06:09] Konoha
If he calls the cops on me,
I know it won't end well!
[06:13] Konoha
They won't believe me if I say,
"I traveled back in time from the future"!

SIGN Right upstairs
[06:21] Konoha
Oh yeah, didn't he say
this was a game company?
SIGN Doukyuusei
[06:26] Konoha
By games, does he mean bishojo games?!
[06:29] Konoha
If it is, if it is...
[06:33] Konoha
U-Um...
[06:35] Konoha
D-Do you make bishojo games here?
[06:38] Mamoru
Huh?
[06:40] Meiko
Y-Yes, we do.
[06:41] Meiko
We run a computer shop, and also
develop games on the side.
[06:44] Konoha
U-Um...
[06:46] Konoha
Can you please let me work here?!
[06:49] Meiko
What?
[06:49] Konoha
I work at a bishojo game
studio as an illustrator!
[06:53] Kaori
An illustrator?!
[06:56] Manager
We're not hiring at the moment...
[06:59] Konoha
Um, please take a look at my art!
[07:01] Konoha
I'm pretty confident in my
drawings of cute girls!
[07:05] Konoha
I may not look it, but I've made my way
on the daily rankings countless times!
[07:09] Konoha
Around 1,000th place!
[07:16] Konoha
I-It won't turn on!
[07:19] Konoha
This stupid tablet!
[07:21] Kyonshi
What's that? A PDA?
[07:23] Mamoru
They don't make ones that big.
[07:27] Meiko
What should we do, Kao-san?
[07:29] Meiko
I'm starting to feel a little sorry for her.
[07:38] Kaori
Hey, Manager.
[07:40] Kaori
She seems funn— to be in trouble,
[07:42] Kaori
so why don't we have her help with painting?
[07:44] Kaori
We just happen to be
short-handed right now.
[07:46] Manager
Well, I guess we'd take anyone
who can paint at this point.
[07:52] Manager
Is she really going to be useful?
[07:53] Kaori
You can paint CGs, right?
[07:55] Konoha
Y-Yes!
[07:56] Konoha
Why, I've painted hundreds in my time!
[07:59] Kaori
Okay.
[08:01] Kaori
Please help us, then.
[08:03] Kaori
For now, you'll be working
unpaid, if that's okay.
[08:06] Konoha
Yes! I'd be happy to!
[08:08] Kaori
Okay, Mamocchi.
[08:10] Kaori
Please teach her how to use all the tools.
[08:14] Mamoru
Huh? Why me?!
[08:16] Kaori
The two of us still have CGs to work on.
[08:19] Kaori
Besides, the programmer's got nothing
to do without any bugs, right?
[08:24] Meiko
Ask if there's anything you need help with.
[08:24] Mamoru
I know how to use the tools, but I can't
teach her anything about painting!
[08:26] Konoha
Yes!
[08:28] Kaori
She's in your hands.
[08:32] Konoha
Now I'm stuck with this scary kid!
[08:35] Konoha
P-Please go easy on me...
[08:40] Mamoru
Fine.
[08:42] Mamoru
Let's go upstairs.
[08:43] Konoha
Wait, upstairs?
[08:46] Mamoru
The development room.
[08:48] Konoha
The development room!
[08:53] Mamoru
This is where we make games.
[08:55] Konoha
That old computer still works! Pog!
[08:58] Mamoru
That's a DA.
[08:59] Mamoru
It's not that old.
[09:01] Mamoru
You'll be sitting over there.
[09:03] Mamoru
Go take a seat.
[09:04] Konoha
Y-Yes!
[09:09] Konoha
Check out these clicking noises!
[09:10] Konoha
Is that the disk drive?
[09:12] Mamoru
What else would it be?
[09:13] Mamoru
You don't own a computer?
[09:15] Konoha
I-I sure do!
[09:17] Konoha
But my computer doesn't have a floppy drive!
[09:20] Mamoru
What, are you still using tape drives?
[09:23] Konoha
I have an SSD!
[09:26] Mamoru
The hell is that?
[09:27] Konoha
Anyway, I'll be fine!
[09:29] Konoha
I've been drawing on my
computer since middle school!
[09:34] Konoha
Hold it!
[09:36] Konoha
Everyone in this era is drawing
on these ancient machines!
[09:40] Konoha
Which means...
[09:42] Konoha
as an artist from the 21st century with
my cutting-edge bishojo art techniques,
[09:47] Konoha
if I make art in this era...
[09:52] Konoha
I could be invincible!
SIGN Maru Painter
[10:00] Mamoru
Have you used a painting program before?
[10:03] Konoha
Yeah, more or less.
[10:07] Konoha
Um, that's a mouse you're using.
[10:10] Mamoru
Yeah, it's a mouse.
[10:11] Konoha
Where's the pen display?
[10:12] Mamoru
Huh?
[10:13] Konoha
Wait, you want me to paint with a mouse?
[10:15] Mamoru
Of course.
[10:17] Mamoru
What else are you going to use?
[10:19] Mamoru
Were you expecting a paintbrush?
[10:20] Konoha
U-Um, um...
[10:22] Konoha
I've only ever used Photoshop
and a tablet to paint!
[10:26] Mamoru
What are those?
[10:29] Meiko
We use MaruPaint and a mouse here.
[10:34] Konoha
This isn't good!
[10:36] Konoha
I've never done it that way before!
[10:40] Mamoru
First, you scan the line art
and load it onto the computer.
[10:42] Konoha
Y-Yes!
[10:44] Meiko
Okay, here you go, Kono-chan.
[10:46] Konoha
Yes!
[10:49] Konoha
What a cute drawing!
[10:51] Konoha
Um, who drew this?
[10:54] Meiko
Well, me...
[10:58] Meiko
Please stop staring at it.
[11:00] Meiko
It's a little embarrassing.
[11:01] Mamoru
Hey, hurry up and get it on the computer.
[11:08] Mamoru
Wait, wait!
[11:09] Mamoru
You can't just scan the pencil lines!
[11:11] Konoha
What?
[11:13] Mamoru
That should do it.
[11:15] [SONG] Sign
An old trick using a photocopier to adjust the darkness
of line art and make the line work stand out
prior to the spread of photo editing software.
[11:16] Mamoru
Make a copy of the line art so that you
get lines with the right thickness.
[11:23] Mamoru
Then take the copy you made,
[11:25] Mamoru
scan it in grayscale...
[11:29] Mamoru
Look, there you go.
[11:32] Mamoru
The data's on here.
[11:34] Mamoru
Meiko's lending it to you,
so use that for now.
[11:34] [SONG] Sign
Meiko's
[11:37] Konoha
Transferring data with a floppy...
[11:40] Konoha
Th-That's so 90s!
[11:44] Mamoru
Next, convert the grayscale
line art into black and white,
[11:47] Mamoru
and redraw all the jagged lines
while cleaning everything up.
[11:51] Konoha
Redrawing all these lines with just a mouse!
[11:54] Konoha
Wh-What a pain...
[11:57] Kaori
Mei-chan, how much longer for that one?
[12:00] Meiko
Sorry, I'll be done in a moment.
[12:03] Konoha
They're both working so fast!
[12:07] Konoha
There goes my confidence
as a time traveler...
[12:11] Konoha
Is this really only 16 colors?
[12:15] Meiko
Yeah.
[12:15] Meiko
The system takes up one
color, so actually it's 15.
[12:19] Konoha
15 colors?!
[12:21] Konoha
It really looks like it
uses a lot more colors...
[12:29] Konoha
This spot right here is painted
a little differently!
[12:32] Meiko
That's called "dithering".
[12:34] Meiko
You place two colors in
a checkerboard pattern,
[12:36] Meiko
to create the illusion
of a color in-between.
[12:39] Konoha
T-Technology of the ancients!
[12:43] Kaori
Mei-chan had the same reaction that you did.
[12:46] Meiko
Anyone would be surprised.
[12:48] Konoha
I thought pixel art was
only for chibi stuff!
[12:52] Konoha
They're drawing huge bishojo
game graphics with it,
[12:55] Konoha
representing shades of
colors with just pixels!
[12:57] Konoha
Absolute peak!
[13:00] Mamoru
Okay, try using what you
just saw to paint this.
[13:03] Konoha
Yes.
[13:05] Konoha
Um... this color goes here...
[13:08] Konoha
And this one... huh?
[13:10] Konoha
How do I undo? Huh?
[13:13] Meiko
How's it going, Kono-chan?
[13:15] Meiko
Think you can handle it?
[13:16] Konoha
Meiko-san!
[13:19] Meiko
Wh-What's wrong?!
[13:21] Konoha
Look at this!
[13:22] Konoha
All of my knowledge is
completely useless here!
[13:29] Konoha
It's just so frustrating!
[13:31] Konoha
I'm mad salty!
[13:36] Meiko
Don't cry, Kono-chan!
[13:38] Kaori
You can do it!
[13:40] Konoha
Wh-Wh-Wha?!
[13:42] Konoha
They're so touchy-feely!
[13:44] Konoha
Is this what it was like
at old game studios?!
[14:41] Konoha
I-I did it!
[14:43] Konoha
I finally finished this CG!
[14:46] Konoha
I made it with just 16 colors!
[14:49] Group
Congratulations!
[14:51] Kyonshi
Huh, you really pulled it off.
[14:53] Konoha
Thank you very much!
[14:58] Mamoru
Does she really have prior experience?
[15:06] Konoha
The hot water is melting
all my fatigue away!
[15:10] Meiko
Kono-chan, do you dye your hair?
[15:13] Konoha
Yes, that's right.
[15:16] Kaori
How unique.
[15:21] Konoha
When will I be able to go back?
[15:24] Konoha
And how did this happen to begin with?
[15:31] Konoha
If I don't find a way to go back,
[15:33] Konoha
I wouldn't mind just staying here!
[15:37] Mamoru
Did you finally snap?
[15:40] Mamoru
You started laughing to
yourself at nothing just now.
[15:43] Konoha
Ah, no...
[15:48] Mamoru
You've been here working for days on end.
[15:50] Mamoru
Aren't you getting sick of it?
[15:52] Konoha
Well, I don't have anywhere else to go.
[15:56] Konoha
Not to mention...
[15:59] Konoha
Making games is fun!
[16:03] Mamoru
You're so weird.
[16:04] Konoha
Oh, that's right!
[16:07] Konoha
Mamoru-kun, do you want some fruity milk?
[16:10] Mamoru
"Mamoru-kun"?
[16:11] Mamoru
Why is it "Mamoru-kun" now?!
[16:13] Mamoru
You called me "Mamoru-san" before!
[16:14] Konoha
Hey, I'm 19 years old!
[16:17] Konoha
You're younger, aren't you?
[16:18] Mamoru
And what if I am?!
[16:19] Kaori
It looks like those two are getting along.
[16:19] Konoha
That's why you're Mamoru-kun!
[16:21] Mamoru
I still have seniority here!
[16:22] Meiko
Thank goodness.
[16:23] Mamoru
You're just a temp worker!
[16:28] Kaori
The end is finally in sight!
[16:31] Kaori
I can sleep tonight!
[16:33] Kyonshi
I'm stepping out to go buy some cigs.
[16:35] Meiko
Kono-chan, if you're cold,
we have some extra bedding!
[16:38] Konoha
I'm fine!
[16:40] Konoha
Now then, good night!
[16:43] Mamoru
Hey, why are you sleeping here?!
[16:45] Mamoru
Go sleep by your own desk!
[16:47] Konoha
But it's cold over there!
[16:50] Konoha
And it's so messy with all
the stuff lying around!
[16:53] Mamoru
You always sound so timid, but you're
incredibly demanding, you know.
[16:57] Kaori
I'm turning off the lights!
[17:10] Konoha
Mamoru-kun, you're not going home tonight?
[17:13] Mamoru
I can do whatever I want.
[17:15] Konoha
Are you looking at a bug?
[17:16] Mamoru
My program has no bugs.
[17:19] Mamoru
This is something I'm working on for fun.
[17:21] Konoha
Fun?
[17:22] Konoha
F-Fun...
[17:25] Konoha
Oh yeah, why do you work here, Mamoru-kun?
[17:29] Konoha
Because you like bishojo games?
[17:31] Mamoru
I'm not doing this because I want to.
[17:34] Mamoru
I just help out because my dad asked me.
[17:37] Mamoru
Well, I've always liked
fiddling with computers.
[17:41] Mamoru
But I'm calling it quits.
[17:42] Konoha
What?!
[17:43] Konoha
You're quitting?!
[17:44] Konoha
What a shame!
[17:45] Konoha
I think you could become an
amazing game programmer!
[17:50] Mamoru
I'd rather join a normal
game company, then.
[17:52] Mamoru
Bishojo games are made by people
who can't make regular games.
[17:57] Mamoru
These aren't real video games.
[18:00] Konoha
That's not true!
[18:01] Konoha
Bishojo games are so much fun!
[18:04] Mamoru
They may be selling now, while
they're not very common,
[18:07] Mamoru
but people will stop buying them in no time.
[18:09] Konoha
No, they won't!
[18:11] Konoha
Y-You're wrong, Mamoru-kun!
[18:13] Konoha
Eventually, Akiba is going to
be filled with cute 2D girls!
[18:16] Konoha
No, not just Akiba!
[18:18] Konoha
Games, anime, and manga, too!
[18:21] Konoha
Trains, buses, and even bags
of rice and bottles of sake!
[18:24] Konoha
They're all going to be plastered
with bishojo characters!
[18:27] Mamoru
Like that'll ever happen.
[18:28] Konoha
It really will happen!
[18:30] Konoha
I'm telling the real, honest truth here!
[18:32] Konoha
Mamoru-kun!
[18:33] Konoha
The future is filled with cute 2D
girls because of bishojo games!
[18:37] Konoha
Even a cringe otaku like me,
thanks to bishojo games,
[18:41] Konoha
can play it off as, "that's just my
character trope, tee-hee", and keep on going!
[18:47] Konoha
Maybe you're right that this company
can't make normal video games.
[18:52] Konoha
But you know, everyone here is making
the bishojo games of their dreams!
[18:58] Konoha
What could be better?!
[18:59] Konoha
I love this company, and
everyone who's a part of it!
[19:07] Konoha
Mamoru-kun, let's make
bishojo games together!
[19:20] Mamoru
You really do have a screw loose.
[19:21] Mamoru
Go see a doctor.
[19:26] Konoha
After I tried so hard to talk with him!
[19:28] Konoha
I thought everyone would be nicer here!
[21:07] Mamoru
There, done.
[21:09] Manager
That's a wrap! Good work!
[21:11] Kakori
We did it...
[21:12] Meiko
It's over.
[21:13] Konoha

[21:38] Mamoru
No, she's a total beginner.
[21:41] Mamoru

Our savior!
[22:36] Konoha
I did draw with a mouse back
in the oekaki board days!
[22:41] Konoha
No wonder it came so easily to me!
[22:48] Konoha
Mamoru-kun, you worked hard, too!
