SIGN    Episode 3
[00:03] Mikoto
    Who are you?
[00:05] Nona
    Pleased to meet you. I'm Bouida's wife, Nona.
[00:08] Mikoto
    I'm Bouida's little sister, Mikoto.
[00:12] Mikoto
    Wait...
[00:12] Mikoto
    What?
SIGN    "What You Learn Today Can Be Overturned Tomorrow"
[00:17] Mikoto
    But for figurines to start moving around...
[00:20] Mikoto
    There really are strange things in the world.
[00:22] Haruto
    Huh... You're accepting it pretty easily.
[00:25] Mikoto
    But I do wonder why this happened.
[00:28] Ozma
    See? I'm telling you,
    this is the normal reaction.
[00:31] Mikoto
    Still, it makes me really happy!
    I liked this guy!
[00:38] Haruto
    That's it!
[00:39] Haruto
    I have a good idea.
[00:41] Haruto
    I'm going out for a bit!
[00:43] Mikoto
    Huh? Onii-chan?
[00:44] Nona
    Honestly.
[00:45] Nona
    Just when Mikoto-san went
    to the trouble of visiting...
[00:47] Mikoto
    In that case!
[00:48] Mikoto
    I will take this opportunity to unravel
    the mystery of your existence!
[00:52] Mikoto
    No matter how mysterious,
    everything has a logical explanation.
[00:54] Mikoto
    And I am the one who will discover it!
[00:57] Mikoto
    That is why "Planetary Explorer Girl" with
    its theme of "exploring the unknown"
[01:01] Mikoto
    shot straight into my heart!
[01:04] Nona
    Thank you so much for watching!
[01:06] Mikoto
    "What you learn today
    can be overturned tomorrow."
[01:09] Mikoto
    That was the anime's slogan.
[01:11] Mikoto
    Here, Ozma. It was in the
    box as part of the set.
[01:16] Ozma
    This outfit!
[01:17] Mikoto
    That's right!
[01:18] Mikoto
    It's from the explanation segment
    you did at the end of each episode!
[01:20] Mikoto
    It's what you wore for "Professor
    Ozma Exposes the Universe!"
[01:24] Ozma
    Hello!
[01:27] Ozma
    Habitability?
[01:28] Ozma
    Drake's Equation?
[01:30] Ozma
    I'll teach it all because I'm Professor Ozma!
[01:34] Mikoto
    But the person I really
    have questions for is Nona.
[01:36] Ozma
    Wha?!
[01:38] Mikoto
    Okay. Ready for some questions?
[01:40] Nona
    Yes! I'll do my best!
[01:42] Mikoto
    The anime only covered part of your
    story. What happened after that?
[01:47] Nona
    I don't know and I haven't looked.
[01:48] Nona
    Haruto-san said I don't need to.
[01:50] Mikoto
    What do you do for food?
[01:52] Nona
    I eat like a person does.
[01:55] Nona
    Investigating potential food
    sources is part of my job.
[01:57] Mikoto
    In the anime, it was like you had weapons
    all over your body. What about now?
[02:01] Nona
    I can use all of them!
[02:02] Nona
    But it seems they aren't
    as powerful as in the anime.
[02:06] Mikoto
    Just as an aside, my brother's
    never dated a girl before.
[02:10] Mikoto
    Is everything, you know, okay?
[02:12] Nona
    Yes! He's treating me very well.
    I'm grateful to him.
[02:15] Nona
    I have no experience dating
    the opposite sex either.
[02:18] Mikoto
    I apologize for the directness of this
    question... What do you two do at night?
[02:22] Nona
    Sleep! Very deeply!
[02:25] Mikoto
    Then... what about my brother made
    you like him enough to marry him?
[02:29] Nona
    I was made to serve people.
[02:32] Nona
    When someone wants me and I can
    be of use, that's all I need to be happy.
[02:35] Mikoto
    Not like that. I'm asking
    about your feelings, Nona!
[02:37] Mikoto
    What is Bouida Haruto to you?
[02:39] Nona
    Since we're married, he's my husband. Right?
[02:42] Mikoto
    Professor Ozma. What's going on here?
[02:45] Mikoto
    Nona and my brother dated
    before they got married, right?
[02:48] Ozma
    Well, allow me to explain!
    I am Professor Ozma!
[02:52] Ozma
    I don't really get it either.
[02:54] Mikoto
    What?
[02:55] Ozma
    Well, in the anime there wasn't any
    romance or depiction of sexuality, right?
[02:59] Ozma
    I don't think Nona and I can comprehend
    things that weren't in the anime.
[03:05] Mikoto
    I sort of understand... maybe...
[03:08] Nona
    Um... Did I do something wrong?
[03:12] Nona
    Would it be better for Haruto-san
    to have a regular girl as his wife?
[03:16] Mikoto
    No, it's fine.
[03:18] Mikoto
    I think the only thing you're
    missing as a married couple
[03:20] Mikoto
    is memories of being together.
[03:22] Mikoto
    If you have those, then it won't matter if you're
    2D or 3D. You'll be able to overcome it all!
[03:27] Mikoto
    My brother and I watched your
    anime together, talked about it...
[03:32] Mikoto
    It was so much fun!
[03:34] Haruto
    I'm back!
[03:36] Haruto
    And I object!
[03:38] Haruto
    Anime should be watched and enjoyed alone!
[03:42] Haruto
    Using it as a communication
    tool is just utter heresy!
[03:46] Haruto
    At least that's how I feel about it, Mikoto.
[03:47] Haruto
    Oh. Nice lab coat.
[03:49] Mikoto
    So. Did you figure something out or not?
[03:53] Haruto
    When investigating unknown phenomena,
    the best thing is to try to recreate it!
[03:56] Haruto
    Recreate the exact same circumstances
[03:59] Haruto
    and attempt to pin down the exact
    conditions necessary for the event to occur!
[04:03] Haruto
    Which is why I went out and bought these!
[04:04] Haruto
    A TV! A vacuum! A toy car!
[04:07] Haruto
    Animals and monsters!
[04:08] Haruto
    And figurines of beautiful girls!
[04:11] Haruto
    And... And! Two more figurines
    at the same 1/6 scale as Nona!
[04:16] Ozma
    You got carried away and
    bought way too much, idiot!
[04:18] Mikoto
    This is bad. Weren't you thinking, Onii-chan?
[04:21] Nona
    That's right!
[04:22] Nona
    If all of these started moving like me,
    what were you planning to do?
[04:26] Haruto
    Huh?
[04:28] Haruto
    I'd have a harem!
[04:30] Mikoto
    Nona... You've got a rough road ahead.
[04:33] Nona
    Yeah.
SIGN    "Christmas for Two"
[04:34] Nona
    What? A date?
[04:36] Haruto
    Yeah. Because it's Christmas.
[04:39] Nona
    That sounds wonderful!
[04:41] Nona
    Oh, but... I've already cooked.
[04:43] Haruto
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[04:45] Haruto
    I'll have it after we get back.
[04:47] Haruto
    So, I'll leave the house to you while I'm gone.
[04:49] Nona
    Huh?
[04:50] Nona
    But, the date... It's not with me?
[04:52] Nona
    Who are you going with?
[04:54] Haruto
    Oh, uh... Who am I going with?
[04:58] Nona
    What's going on?
[05:00] Nona
    This wouldn't be the cultural event
    I've seen on TV: an affair?!
[05:04] Nona
    Any planet with such a custom
    should just crumble into ruin!
[05:07] Haruto
    Take care of the house.
[05:10] Haruto
    Nona, since you came,
[05:12] Haruto
    any anime or game that has
    girls in it has been off-limits
[05:15] Haruto
    and I haven't seen any at all!
[05:17] Haruto
    My frustration level is at three bars!
[05:25] Nona
    Really... You haven't watched any at all?
[05:29] Nona
    Haruto-san. I have learned
    a lot about this real world.
[05:36] Nona
    Your life of anime, games, and manga
    is not considered a proper way to live, is it?
[05:43] Haruto
    Whether it is proper or mistaken...
    That judgment itself is wrong!
[05:48] Haruto
    If you really consider us married, then...
[05:53] Haruto
    Huh?
[05:56] Haruto
    Oh, I don't care! I'm going!
[05:58] Haruto
    I'll be back!
[06:03] Seijirou
    Then... you haven't watched
    most of the anime this season?
[06:07] Seijirou
    What's the meaning of this?
SIGN    Kanmuri Seijirou
SIGN    Bouida's Otaku Friend
[06:09] Seijirou
    What about our otaku discussion?
[06:11] Seijirou
    Could it be... a woman?
[06:14] Seijirou
    Bouida, you jerk!
[06:15] Seijirou
    After getting a place of your own,
[06:18] Seijirou
    have you betrayed 2D women
    for 3D flesh and blood girls?
[06:22] Haruto
    No, no. It's not like that.
[06:23] Haruto
    It is absolutely not that.
[06:26] Seijirou
    Of course not. For you to have an
    interest in girls other than 2D girls...
[06:30] Seijirou
    We've been stuck together since middle school.
[06:33] Seijirou
    Together, we were isolated
    in our profound otakuness!
[06:35] Seijirou
    School was much too constraining for us.
[06:38] Seijirou
    That's exactly why we have
    so many strong, vivid memories.
[06:42] Seijirou
    Right! We won't waste this opportunity.
[06:43] Seijirou
    Tonight, we shall speak of works past!
[06:48] Seijirou
    But for the answer to the mystery of the
    main character's two sets of memories
[06:53] Seijirou
    to be that a doctor implanted them
    at the character's request...
[06:57] Seijirou
    It's not right! It's impossible!
[07:02] Haruto
    Well, when I first saw it I thought, "What?"
[07:04] Haruto
    But the planet had been taken
    over by a hostile organization.
[07:06] Haruto
    Maybe they'd developed
    that kind of technology.
[07:09] Seijirou
    No matter what work it is,
    you always just accept the logic.
[07:13] Haruto
    Using imagination to fill in
    that gaps of a work is fun, too.
[07:17] Haruto
    You always reject everything. Is that fun?
[07:20] Haruto
    "It's impossible," "It can't happen."
[07:22] Haruto
    You mock and snicker
[07:24] Haruto
    and every time you do the doors
    of possibility close one by one.
[07:27] Haruto
    And once they're closed, they
    can never be opened again.
[07:30] Seijirou
    Ah, that's a line from
     "Planetary Explorer Girl," isn't it?
[07:34] Seijirou
    You really liked that one, didn't you?
[07:36] Seijirou
    That piece-of-trash anime.
[07:37] Haruto
    What did you say?!
[07:40] Seijirou
    Bouida...
[07:41] Seijirou
    You asked if it's fun rejecting everything.
[07:45] Seijirou
    Yeah! It is fun!
[07:47] Seijirou
    Criticism and bad-mouthing are completely
    legitimate forms of entertainment!
[07:50] Seijirou
    And it's my right to feel that way!
[07:51] Seijirou
    This is the perfect opportunity!
[07:52] Seijirou
    I've been biting my tongue
    out of consideration of your feelings,
[07:55] Seijirou
    but after all this time, I'm finally
    really going to tell you
[07:58] Seijirou
    exactly what I think about
    that piece-of-trash anime!
[08:01] Seijirou
    First! Through the whole thing,
    mostly the only thing you see is Nona!
[08:04] Seijirou
    She's traveling to different
    planets, right? Show me that!
[08:07] Seijirou
    I'm sorry, but I got sick of it
    partway through. Super sick of it!
[08:11] Seijirou
    And the biggest problem is that Nona
    as a character is neither this nor that!
[08:15] Seijirou
    The thing about mecha girls
    is that if they look mecha,
[08:17] Seijirou
    then their personalities
    should be more human
[08:19] Seijirou
    and if they look human, their
    personalities should be more mecha!
[08:21] Seijirou
    They should be designed with
    that exquisite balance in place!
[08:24] Waiter
    Excuse me, sir...
[08:25] Seijirou
    On that point, Nona was
    designed without deciding
[08:27] Seijirou
    whether she would look
    more mecha or more human.
[08:29] Seijirou
    And just when you think her
    personality is like a normal girl,
[08:32] Seijirou
    she'll suddenly go super mecha on you!
[08:34] Haruto
    You need to dive in.
[08:37] Haruto
    You freakin' lead weight!
[08:39] Haruto
    Even if you never do it at any other
    time, when you're watching anime,
[08:41] Haruto
    dive in and immerse yourself
    in the warmth of this world!
[08:43] Haruto
    I said I haven't watched
    any anime recently,
[08:46] Haruto
    but late at night I've been secretly
    re-watching Planetary Explorer Girl.
[08:49] Haruto
    Because I want to know more about Nona!
[08:51] Haruto
    The reason Nona seems incompletely
    halfway human as you say
[08:54] Haruto
    is so that she can descend
    onto distant planets
[08:56] Haruto
    and convey humanity's form and will!
[08:58] Seijirou
    Huh? What's that? Is that official?
[09:01] Haruto
    No! It's something I thought up!
[09:04] Haruto
    She shoulders that heavy responsibility
    all by herself and keeps trying.
[09:07] Haruto
    That girl, on her own! Nona!
[09:10] Haruto
    Watching that, how can you not
    find it incredibly endearing?
[09:13] Waiter
    Sir.
[09:16] Background character
    That was so much fun!
[09:17] Background character
    What should we do next?
[09:19] Background character
    Wasn't it?
[09:22] Haruto
    I was pretty harsh with Nona earlier...
[09:25] Haruto
    Maybe I should buy her something.
[09:28] Background character
    It's so cute!
[09:32] Haruto
    Nona!
[09:33] Haruto
    You came with me?
[09:35] Haruto
    When did you get in there?
[09:36] Nona
    You lied about the date.
    You were with a man, weren't you?
[09:40] Haruto
    I-I'm sorry.
[09:41] Haruto
    Back before I left, I was teasing,
    but I went too far.
[09:44] Nona
    About what your friend said...
[09:46] Haruto
    Don't pay him any mind. He's always
    been like that, denying everything.
[09:51] Nona
    And the anime you've been
    secretly watching at night.
[09:54] Haruto
    What? You knew about that, too?
[09:57] Haruto
    I'm sorry!
[09:58] Nona
    I should have been more like that gentleman
[10:00] Nona
    and said exactly what I was feeling.
[10:03] Haruto
    Huh?
[10:04] Nona
    Haruto-san, I don't want you
    going on dates with other women!
[10:09] Nona
    Instead of using indirect
    words like "right" and "wrong,"
[10:13] Nona
    I should have just said so from the start!
[10:15] Haruto
    Nona...
[10:17] Nona
    That's why, I was a little
    jealous of your friend.
[10:21] Nona
    Because he seemed to know
    all about you in a way I don't.
[10:26] Haruto
    R-Right, you were listening...
    all the way to the end.
[10:33] Nona
    Yes!
[10:37] Kusabi
    Are you okay with fighting like that?
[10:40] Seijirou
    It's not like we're friends because
    we get along all the time.
[10:43] Kusabi
    Really... You are a weird one.
[10:46] Kusabi
    You really are too mean, Seijirou,
[10:49] Kusabi
    going out of your way like
    that to badmouth Nona.
[10:51] Seijirou
    He didn't budge even when
    I tried to lure him into misspeaking,
[10:54] Seijirou
    so I might've gotten a little worked up.
[10:56] Kusabi
    So, today might have been
    about testing the waters, but...
[10:59] Kusabi
    What's next?
[11:01] Seijirou
    The second unit has already been sent in.
