[00:04] Kohane
The three of us are finally
going to be working together!
[00:06] Kohane
I'm so excited!
[00:08] Kohane
Come on, Uki! Let's go to club!
[00:10] Uki
Huh? I'm not going.
[00:12] Kohane
You're already skipping?
Uki, you delinquent!
[00:15] Uki
Hey! Don't say it like that!
[00:17] Hizume
What's the matter?
[00:19] Kohane
Arima-san!
[00:21] Kohane
Let's go to club!
[00:23] Hizume
Proficiency tests are coming up,
so we're putting club activities on hold.
[00:27] Kohane
What?! But we finally got three members!
SIGN Anima Yell!
SIGN Episode 3: The Cheer Association,
Cheering for Love!
[02:03] Hizume
There's more to cheer than club activities.
[02:06] Hizume
Academics is another important field
that cheerleaders should concentrate on.
[02:11] Hizume
It's essential to cheer.
[02:15] Uki
Thank goodness. Kohane has no
idea what's going on, either.
[02:20] Hizume
In America, where cheerleading hails
from, cheerleaders are admired
[02:24] ---
by all and considered to be top-class women.
[02:26] Hizume
They are proper, intelligent,
[02:28] Hizume
beautiful, with sparkling smiles,
[02:32] Hizume
and have the ability to be
motivational leaders.
[02:34] Uki
She did her best...
[02:37] Hizume
I'm not saying we have to go that far,
[02:39] ---
but it doesn't hurt to have good grades.
[02:43] Hizume
Speaking of, how are your overall grades?
SIGN Below average Above average
[02:47] Hizume
Then we need to train.
SIGN Entered School as an Elite
[02:51] Hizume
Let us work together to lift Hatoya-san up!
[02:55] Kohane
Yeah!
[02:57] Uki
Arima-san, you're good!
[02:59] Hizume
Let's start with English.
[03:01] Kohane
I hate English.
[03:03] Uki
All you did was open your textbook.
[03:05] Hizume
Most cheer calls are in English.
[03:08] Hizume
Audiences might understand your cheers
better if you understand English.
[03:11] Kohane
Oh, yeah!
[03:12] Hizume
She's so close.
[03:14] Kohane
Like, "Go to wah!" Right?
[03:17] Hizume
It's actually "go for win."
[03:20] Hizume
There's more to this than just being loud.
[03:23] Hizume
You could damage your throat that way.
[03:28] Hizume
The trick to doing proper calls is to
call from deep down within your stomach.
[03:32] Kohane
Like this?
[03:33] Uki
What happened to English?
SIGN Japanese History
[03:36] Uki
It's easiest to learn history by writing it down.
[03:38] Kohane
I hate it.
SIGN Fight!!
[03:43] Uki
What are you even trying to learn?!
[03:46] Kohane
My hand has a mind of its own.
SIGN Math I
[03:50] Uki
You probably can't work cheer into math...
[03:52] Math
Hey!
[03:53] Uki
Seriously! What are you drawing?!
[03:56] Hizume
Squee.
[03:59] Kohane
Cheer power... I lack cheer power...
[04:03] Uki
Even after you kept forcing
cheer into everything...
[04:06] Hizume
You leave me no choice.
[04:11] Uki
What?!
[04:12] Hizume
Go, go, Hatoya! Let's go, Hatoya!
[04:15] Hizume
Go, fight, win!
[04:17] Hizume
Go, go, Hatoya! Let's go, Hatoya!
[04:18] Kohane
Now I'm overflowing with cheer power!
[04:20] Hizume
Go, fight, win!
[04:20] Uki
Shut up!
[04:22] Uki
Also, that outfit? Did you
forget we didn't have club?
[04:26] Hizume
O-O-O-Of course I didn't...
[04:29] Kohane
Now I have to return all that cheer power!
[04:32] Uki
How about you put it toward your studies?
[04:35] Kohane
I'll be done in a jiffy.
[04:42] Kohane
Ta-da!
[04:43] ---
The super awesome shorts
I got from Arima-san!
[04:46] Kohane
They give you the amazing ability
to cheer with just your butt!
[04:49] Uki
That's not what those were made for!
SIGN The Next Day
[04:53] Hizume
So... What subject should we work on today?
[04:57] Kohane
U-Um...
[05:00] Kohane
I'll study on my own today!
[05:03] Hizume
You mustn't run away!
[05:06] Uki
I don't think she's trying to run away.
[05:07] ---
I think she's worried that we
might not be able to study.
[05:10] Hizume
So she's worried about us?
[05:11] Uki
Yeah.
[05:15] Hizume
If that's the case, I'd feel much better
[05:17] ---
if you'd study where we can see you.
[05:20] Uki
True...
[05:23] Kohane
I'm sorry.
[05:25] Uki
It's fine. You're the one
doing the hard work here.
[05:28] Hizume
But I think you should
be studying every day.
[05:32] ---
It's harder to learn when
you don't stick with it.
[05:34] Uki
Well, when your grades are good,
the teachers remember you more,
[05:37] Uki
plus it's easier to find an advisor.
[05:44] Hizume
I sense a sudden and drastic change...
[05:47] Uki
Y-Yeah...
[05:49] Hizume
You need to remember to take breaks, too.
[05:53] Kohane
Go for win!
[05:55] Uki
That's not an answer!
SIGN The Next Day
[06:02] Hizume
She's even studying during her break?
[06:05] Uki
She seems to be trying hard
not to bring up cheer, too.
[06:08] Hizume
After she kept saying "cheer" all the time...
[06:14] Kohane
Now that I've gotten into it,
studying is so much fun!
[06:19] Kohane
I don't care about cheer anymore!
[06:20] Kohane
Anymore... anymore...
[06:23] Hizume
And then I'll be all alone again...
[06:26] Uki
I think your trauma switch flips
on a little too easily!
[06:30] Uki
Studying while you're walking is dangerous.
[06:33] Kohane
With my grades, I have to
study on my way home, too.
[06:37] Uki
I mean, it's nice that she's not
doing anything crazy, but...
[06:48] Uki
Kohane would usually be like...
[06:50] Kohane
"I'll hold your stuff for you!"
[06:52] Uki
Koha—
[06:52] Lady
Pardon me...
[06:55] Lady
I've never been in this area
before, and I think I'm lost.
[06:59] Lady
I'd like to go here.
[07:01] Uki
Oh, sure. To go here...
[07:05] Kohane
I'll take you there!
[07:06] Lady
Oh, great! Thank you so much.
[07:13] Lady
Thank you for your help.
[07:15] Kohane
Bye-bye!
[07:19] Uki
Kohane! What's wrong? Do you feel sick?
[07:22] Kohane
I-I'm trying to make sure the stuff
I learned doesn't spill out...
[07:25] Uki
Physically?!
[07:28] Uki
But I'm relieved. You're acting
like the Kohane I know.
[07:32] Kohane
But this isn't good!
[07:34] ---
If my grades don't improve,
we might not find an advisor!
[07:38] Uki
That's what you were worried about?
[07:40] Uki
We were just talking about
that as a possibility...
[07:44] Uki
Sorry.
[07:47] Uki
But if you kept acting weird like that,
[07:50] ---
it probably would've thrown
me off and affected my grades.
[07:53] Uki
Arima-san's on the brink, to be honest.
[07:55] Kohane
Weird?!
[07:57] Uki
You just need to keep being the usual Kohane.
[08:01] Kohane
But I want perfect scores...
[08:02] Uki
You were planning on
getting perfect scores?!
[08:04] Uki
Just leave that to Arima-san.
[08:08] Kohane
I see...
[08:13] Kohane
My shoulders feel a bit lighter now.
[08:21] Kohane
Bye-bye, cheer!
[08:26] Hizume
It looks like Hatoya-san's calmed down.
[08:29] Uki
Yeah.
[08:30] Hizume
She was definitely pushing herself,
so this is probably for the best.
[08:34] Uki
Arima-san is really good
at reading emotions...
[08:37] Hizume
However...
[08:39] Hizume
The timing is pretty bad.
SIGN Proficiency Test First Period Math I Second Period Communication English I Third Period Basic Chemistry Fourth Period Japanese History B
[08:42] Uki
Yeah, our tests do start today.
SIGN A few days later
[08:46] Inukai
All right. That's it for today.
[08:50] Kohane
Uki, Uki, let's go!
[08:53] ---
The three of us are finally
going to start our club!
[08:56] Inukai
Yes. Let's go... take your supplementary exam.
[09:00] Kohane
U-Uki!
[09:02] Uki
You can do it. I'll be cheering you on.
[09:05] Kohane
But I'm the one who wants to cheer!
[09:12] Kohane
I'm finally free...
[09:14] Uki
Good work.
[09:15] Kohane
So what are we going to do?
[09:17] Hizume
The first thing you need to do is stretch.
[09:20] Hizume
We need to take time to
work on your flexibility
[09:23] ---
so you don't get hurt.
[09:25] Hizume
Meanwhile, Sawatari-san will be
practicing the starting position.
[09:29] Hizume
First, put your hands on your hips
so that your arms form triangles.
[09:33] Hizume
Stick out your chest,
and lift up your chin slightly.
[09:35] Hizume
This is the basic stance.
[09:38] Hizume
While in that position, put your strength
[09:40] ---
into your abs and stand tall.
[09:47] Uki
By the way, I see you're both
in your practice clothes.
[09:52] Kohane
Arima-san gave me these!
[09:54] Uki
I see. So those are Arima-san's clothes.
[09:59] Kohane
Okay! I'm done with all my stretches!
[10:02] Kohane
I wanna do the starting position, too!
[10:04] Basketball
Um...
[10:07] Basketball
The basketball club is
going to be using this area.
[10:10] Basketball
Each club should have designated areas.
[10:13] Basketball
What club are you guys in?
[10:15] Kohane
U-Um...
[10:17] Kohane
The cheer club... we hope... ma'am!
[10:20] Basketball
Wait, what?
[10:21] Kohane
The cheer club... we hope... ma'am!
[10:24] Uki
Does she think that actually helped?
[10:26] Basketball
Whatever. We'll be using this area.
[10:27] Kohane
Please! Let us use this area, too!
[10:30] Kohane
We'll cheer you on! Come on, Uki!
[10:33] Basketball
Come on! You'll just be in the way!
[10:38] Kohane
We only know the starting position!
[10:42] Kohane
I guess we didn't think about
where we could practice.
[10:45] Uki
We can check some places out.
[10:53] Hizume
This area's filled with sports clubs.
[10:55] Uki
I wonder if they'd let us use some corner...
[11:00] Kohane
I'll hold this end for you.
[11:02] Girl
Uh, who are you?
[11:04] Hizume
We're probably better off if there
aren't other people around.
[11:08] Uki
Yeah, I completely agree.
[11:10] Bg
There...
[11:11] Bg
Make sure you stretch...
[11:12] Uki
This place is pretty packed today, too.
[11:15] Hizume
The only place left is...
[11:23] Kohane
If you guys are okay with me only
working in this spot right here...
[11:26] Uki
That's too small!
[11:28] Uki
Maybe we can't get a practice area
if we aren't an official club.
[11:32] Kohane
Social stratification...
[11:38] Uki
Perfect timing, Inukai-sensei!
[11:42] Inukai
A place to do your club activities?
[11:44] Inukai
Well, the areas are assigned
depending on what club you're in.
[11:47] Kohane
U-Um... Could we be considered
a club with just three members?
[11:52] Kohane
I mean, we have three out of five
people! That's close enough, right?
[11:57] Kohane
If we round it off, it'd be five! Right, Sensei?
[12:00] Uki
Actually, if you round off
three, it'd be zero...
[12:03] Inukai
Three...
[12:06] Inukai
Congratulations on three members!
[12:10] Uki
Why are you walking around with that?!
[12:13] Kohane
Congratulations?
[12:15] Inukai
With three members,
you can be an association.
[12:21] Hizume
Wh-What's an association?
[12:23] Inukai
You can be considered an
association with three people.
[12:26] Inukai
You don't get funding or a club room,
[12:28] ---
but you'll be given a place
to do your activities.
[12:33] Kohane
We'll establish that nao!
[12:35] Inukai
Sure thing.
[12:36] Inukai
Let's see... the space that's
available right now is...
[12:39] Hizume
We'd like a space in the gym, if possible.
[12:41] Inukai
Yeah, not happening.
No way there'll be space.
[12:43] Inukai
Oh, it looks like the roof
is open on some days.
[12:47] Kohane
No!
[12:48] Inukai
Apparently this old AV room is open.
[12:51] Kohane
Wow, this is amazing! It's so big!
[12:56] Hizume
The ceiling is a little low,
but this should work for a while.
[13:00] Uki
This is a great room.
[13:01] Uki
Why isn't anyone else using it?
[13:04] Inukai
Well, that's because you can
hear the sounds of the piano
[13:07] ---
from the old music room below at night...
[13:10] Uki
So it's a stigmatized property!
[13:11] Uki
We can't, we can't, we can't!
No, no, no! No way!
[13:14] Kohane
It'll be fine, Uki.
[13:16] Uki
Your words aren't reassuring at all!
[13:18] Hizume
That's rather unrealistic.
[13:20] ---
It's probably a patrolling
teacher sneaking in to play it.
[13:23] Uki
And she doesn't believe in ghosts!
[13:24] Hizume
We'll be fine. Apparently,
it only comes around at night.
[13:28] Uki
That's not the point!
[13:31] Kohane
Uki.
[13:33] Kohane
Let's just go to the roof, then.
[13:35] Uki
Huh? But, Kohane...
[13:37] Kohane
I'll just keep my eyes
closed and do my best.
[13:40] Uki
This place is fine!
[13:41] Inukai
Okay, let's have you fill out the paperwork
to make your association official.
[13:46] Uki
And she pulled something
out of nowhere again.
[13:48] Kohane
Sensei... She's done so much for us...
[13:51] ---
I want to express how thankful I am!
[13:55] Kohane
Thank you very much!
[13:57] Inukai
You got it!

we're allowed to put up posters.

I already put them up on all the

You really do work fast!
[14:43] Kohane
I also made sure to throw one into
the old music room downstairs, too.
[14:46] Uki
Why would you do that?!
[14:48] Kohane
Maybe ghostie-chan will want to join, too!
[14:51] Uki
How stupid are you?!
[14:53] Hizume
Indeed. Ghosts don't exist.
[14:56] Uki
Yeah, yeah!
[14:57] Hizume
And even if they were to join,
our kicks would never line up.
[15:01] Hizume
Ghosts don't have legs, after all.
[15:04] Hizume
It'd be difficult to hold their
legs during stunts, as well.
[15:07] Kohane
Oh, yeah!
[15:08] Uki
You took it seriously?
[15:10] Uki
That's not the problem here!
We need to be more serious!
[15:13] Uki
If we get too involved with stuff
like that, they might even possess us!
[15:18] Hizume
You know a lot, for someone
who can't stand this stuff.
[15:20] Uki
A long time ago...
[15:22] ---
I researched everything about it
to find out why I was so scared.
[15:27] Kohane
And now she knows even more about
it, making her even more scared.
[15:32] Uki
Of course I could never
really understand it!
[15:34] ---
My old self should've figured that out!
[15:36] Kohane
But we really can hear the
piano from time to time.
[15:40] Uki
Right?!
[15:41] Uki
Not to mention, I can feel
someone's eyes on us.
[15:43] Uki
I swear someone's staring right at us...
[15:47] Uki
Like right now!
[15:51] Kohane
There's no one here.
[15:52] Uki
I'm pretty sure I felt someone's presence...
[15:56] Kon
Um...
[15:59] Kon
We came here because of your poster.
[16:01] Kohane
Akitsune-san! Tatejima-san!

Do you know them?
[16:05] Kohane
Yeah! They're in my class.

Right, Uki?

Y-Yeah...

I figured you'd be one of the
ones doing this, Hatoya-san.
[16:16] Kohane
Yeah! Did you need some cheering?
Or did you want to join?
[16:20] Kon
I wanted you to cheer me on so I can
tell the person I like how I feel!
[16:23] Hizume
H-How you feel?
[16:26] Hizume
That's not what cheerleading is for...
[16:29] ---
But...
[16:30] Kohane
I'll do anything that'll
help people out, peep!
[16:33] Hizume
I wouldn't be surprised if
Hatoya-san went along with it.
[16:37] Kohane
Well, um... I don't really understand
stuff like love very much...
[16:42] Kon
You'll just be cheering me
on. It's not a big deal.
SIGN Desire to help
SIGN Can't
[16:47] Kon
Was I asking for too much?
[16:49] Kon
Should it have been something club-related?
[16:54] Kohane
I'll do it! I'll cheer you on!
[16:56] Uki
Is this cheer power?
[16:58] Kohane
But this isn't what cheering for
a confession looks like, right?
[17:02] Kon
Actually, I was wondering
if you'd hear me out, too.

Smart! The person's my PT, after all!

Yeah, they definitely sound smart.

Yeah.

Does that mean they're older?

Yeah, a sophomore in college.

Peepity tweet.
[17:32] Kohane
Wow, they're an adult!
[17:34] Uki
That four-year age gap is huge.
[17:36] Hizume
They're in college, so that means
seminars, part-time jobs, mixers...
[17:41] ---
They're always looking to meet someone.
[17:43] Uki
Don't make her more uneasy.
[17:45] Hizume
No, I'm talking about my older brother.

[17:54] Hizume
They say that soldiers honor swiftness.
[17:57] Uki
Soldiers?
[17:59] Hizume
But wouldn't you already be at an advantage
since students and PT, or rather,
[18:03] ---
private tutors, tend to be close?
[18:05] Uki
What are you doing back there?
[18:07] Kohane
I don't know what to say,
so I thought I'd at least cheer.
[18:10] Uki
Hey, don't they say the fastest way to
someone's heart is through their stomach?
[18:14] Kohane
I see! So you have to strengthen
your grip strength and bam!
[18:17] Uki
I didn't mean literally...
[18:19] Kon
Oh, I've actually tried that before...
[18:22] Kon
But they ended up stuck
in bed the next day.
[18:24] Kon
"Feels like my stomach's being
twisted around," they said...
[18:26] Uki
So she did actually grab
their stomach, literally!
[18:29] Kohane
I know! Why don't you try telling
them how you feel with a cheer?
[18:33] Kon
With a cheer?

[18:36] Uki
All right, any questions so far?
[18:39] Kohane
Yeah!
[18:41] Kohane
I love you!
[18:43] Uki
No thank you!
[18:47] Uki
They say when you want to tell someone
[18:49] ---
how you feel, the setting is important.
[18:52] Hizume
I hear it might go better
between dusk and nighttime.
[18:55] Uki
Oh, and the first three
months is the best time!
[18:58] Hizume
Why not put yourself in an extreme situation
[19:00] ---
so that the suspension
bridge effect might occur?
[19:03] Uki
That sort of sounds scary coming from you.
[19:05] Hizume
I know! You should definitely
wear your uniform!
[19:09] Kon
You mean, like, dress to impress?
[19:11] Hizume
"Just the fact that they're high
school girls makes them precious."
[19:13] Hizume
That's what my brother says.
[19:15] Uki
Arima-san, let's forget about your brother.
[19:18] Kohane
What's most important is
to tell them how you feel.
[19:22] Kohane
With the best smile!
[19:24] Uki
And hopefully you'll be able to
become boyfriend and girlfriend.
[19:28] Uki
An older boyfriend, huh?
[19:32] Kon
Uh...
[19:34] ---
You've got the wrong idea.
[19:39] Kon
Um... This tutor is...
[19:45] Kon
a girl.
[19:56] Kohane
Then whatever Arima-san's brother
said might not help that much.
[20:00] Kon
Huh?
[20:01] Uki
Uh, I'm not sure how much his opinions
would've helped with a guy, either.
[20:06] Kon
Um... Well...
[20:10] ---
Are you sure?
[20:11] Kohane
Of course!
[20:13] ---
I think the fact that you can fall
in love with anyone is great!
[20:18] Kohane
I don't understand love and
relationships, but I know that much.
[20:26] Kon
Thanks!
[20:31] Kotetsu
Hatoya-san is amazing.
[20:34] Kotetsu
I couldn't even think of
what to say. I'm useless.
[20:39] Uki
That's not true.
[20:41] Kotetsu
I-I accidentally said that out loud.
[20:43] Uki
The reason you couldn't say anything
[20:45] ---
is because you care about your friend
[20:47] ---
and couldn't say anything lightly.
[20:51] Uki
But that means you're thinking hard about it.
[20:55] Kotetsu
Now I feel like I'm being cheered on, too.
[20:58] Uki
Wait, did I sound like some know-it-all?
SIGN A Few Days Later
[21:04] Kon
It worked!
[21:08] Kohane
Good for you!
[21:09] Kon
The Arima method worked!
[21:12] Uki
The Arima method?
[21:13] Kon
I told her how I felt while
I was still wearing my uniform.
[21:19] Kon
"I like you."
[21:20] Hizume
Does this mean that my brother was right?
[21:23] Uki
No... Or I guess he was...
[21:25] Kon
This really made me realize
how great cheer is.
[21:30] Kohane
D-Does that mean you want to give it a try?
[21:33] Kon
Hmm... Maybe.
[21:35] Kohane
Then... Then fill out this form!

[21:38] Kon
Oh, but I decided to join the home ec club.
[21:41] Kon
I'm gonna make her a
delicious meal next time!
[21:44] Kon
Thanks for everything!
[21:46] Uki
If we'd acted a little sooner,
they might've joined.
[21:50] Uki
Too bad.
[21:51] Kohane
But I'm glad the first cheer from
the cheer association went well!
[21:56] Hizume
Indeed.
[21:57] Kon
I wonder what I should cook first...
[23:38] Kohane
Next time: "Let's Cheer Up!"
