[00:02] Captain Hook
    The Anime Club is to be shut down.
[00:04] Pink
    Nakano-senpai, why?
[00:09] Glasses 2
    You screwed us over, Aurora!
[00:12] Aurora Green
    Please don't call me that.
[01:58] Green
    I gave the club room keys
    back to the student council.
[02:01] Ooooohohoho
    I see.
[02:02] Green
    Sorry, this is my fault.
[02:05] Green
    This wouldn't have happened
    if I'd been more careful.
[02:07] Ooooohohoho
    No.
[02:08] Glasses
    It's not your fault, Erika-senpai.
[02:10] Glasses 2
    Damn it, Aurora!
[02:12] Glasses 2
    I can't believe I didn't
    notice his evil conspiracy.
[02:15] Glasses 2
    I should have known.
[02:20] Bishoujo A
    The Anime Club's gone, huh?
[02:22] Mom
    The school festival was such a blast, too.
[02:26] Pink
    Yeah.
[02:29] Dad
    Even if we lost this house,
    we would still be family.
[02:33] Bishoujo A
    What are you talking about?
[02:35] Mom
    No, Dad, don't tell me you
    might get laid off again.
[02:38] Pink
    Again?!
[02:39] Dad
    I'm making an example.
[02:42] Pink
    Wait, so what's the point?
[02:44] Dad
    Even without the container that is
    the house, a family is a family.
[02:51] Pink
    Friends are still friends.
[02:54] Dad
    Yeah.
[02:59] A
    Hurry!
[03:00] B
    Yeah!
[03:01] Pink
    What?
SIGN    No shutting down
    Anime Club!!
SIGN    Don't Allow
    the Principal's Tyranny!!
SIGN    Withdraw the Shutdown!
[03:04] A
    Get out here, Principal!
[03:05] B
    Don't disband the Anime Club!
[03:09] Pink
    What's going on?
[03:10] Ooooohohoho
    Minoa.
[03:11] Ooooohohoho
    Over here.
[03:15] Pink
    What exactly is going on?
[03:17] Green
    I don't know, myself.
[03:19] A
    We can't live without the Anime Club!
[03:21] Glasses 2
    To think people need us this much...
[03:24] Ooooohohoho
    This is a bit extreme, though.
[03:27] Captain Hook
    Listen up, students.
[03:29] A
    It's the principal.
[03:31] Captain Hook
    If you want the Anime Club's
    shutdown to be withdrawn,
[03:35] Captain Hook
    then this school is hereby closed.
[03:45] Captain Hook
    Is this what you want?
[03:47] Aurora Green
    Yes.
[03:47] Aurora Green
    All it takes to silence small fry
    is to take them out of the water.
SIGN    Principal's Office
[03:58] A
    Come out, Ogikubo!
[03:59] A
    Explain this!
[04:00] Purple
    I can't.
[04:01] Purple
    I've been ordered not to let anyone through.
[04:04] Purple
    No, don't touch me!
[04:07] Purple
    If you really want to,
    you'll have to defeat me first.
[04:11] Purple
    You'll have to push me down by force!
[04:15] Glasses 2
    People are enraged.
[04:16] Pink
    I'm kind of scared.
[04:22] A
    Move it!
[04:27] Purple
    That's too rough!
[04:29] Purple
    Oh, crap!
[04:33] A
    What the...
[04:37] Purple
    You idiot, you just made it lock.
[04:40] Purple
    You're all coming with
    me to the staff office.
[04:46] >3
    This is one of my feeding spots.
[04:52] Pink
    What are you doing, Senpai?
[04:55] >3
    Don't just stand there, help me.
[05:05] Pink
    Ow...
[05:08] Pink
    Principal?
[05:12] Pink
    P-Pardon me.
[05:14] Pink
    I'm Asagaya Minoa, first-year
    student in from the Anime Club.
[05:18] Ooooohohoho
    I heard Minoa's voice.
[05:21] Ooooohohoho
    Minoa, open up.
[05:23] Green
    They might not hear us from inside.
[05:26] Pink
    Why do you hate the Anime Club so much?
[05:30] Captain Hook
    What the hell was that?
[05:32] Captain Hook
    The anime short for the school festival.
[05:34] Captain Hook
    You broke the 180-degree rule.
[05:36] Captain Hook
    The artwork broke down.
[05:38] Captain Hook
    The lines were read monotonously.
[05:39] Captain Hook
    It was a barrage of amateurish jokes.
[05:43] Ragewriter
    How dare you!
[05:45] Ooooohohoho
    I poured my soul into that art!
[05:49] Glasses 2
    I hate to admit it, but he has a point.
[05:51] Green
    I actually thought so, too.
[05:56] Captain Hook
    Worse, you held a concert because
    you couldn't finish the ending.
[05:59] Captain Hook
    The title is too long!
[06:02] Pink
    U-Uh...
[06:04] Captain Hook
    Do you have anything to say for yourself?
[06:05] Pink
    You actually paid that much attention?!
[06:08] Pink
    Thank you so much!
[06:11] Ooooohohoho
    What a passionate roast.
[06:11] Ragewriter
    The title is too long.
[06:12] Ragewriter
    The title is too long.
[06:13] Ragewriter
    The title is too long.
[06:14] Ragewriter
    The title is too long.
[06:15] Green
    Is the principal an anime fan?
[06:18] Glasses 2
    Then why does he try to take the Anime
    Club down the path of destruction?
[06:22] Pink
    Parts of it may have been bad,
[06:25] Pink
    but it's the best piece ever,
    filled with my favorite anime.
[06:30] Captain Hook
    Your favorite anime?
[06:32] Pink
    It's the anime that I saw when I was a kid.
[06:35] Pink
    Robots going bam!
[06:37] Pink
    Grandpas going boom!
[06:39] Pink
    A girl's song defeats the enemy,
[06:42] Pink
    a fish goes flip flap, and an angel descends.
[06:46] Pink
    I still have dreams about it.
[06:48] Captain Hook
    Burndown, Stretch Dawn,
[06:50] Captain Hook
    Mermaid Melody Pichipichipacchi,
    and Andromeda Angel.
[06:54] Captain Hook
    All masterpieces.
[06:55] Captain Hook
    So how did they end up the way they did?
[06:57] Pink
    Wow, you know so much about anime.
[07:01] Pink
    But those aren't the anime I love.
[07:03] Captain Hook
    What are they called?
[07:05] Pink
    I don't remember.
[07:06] Captain Hook
    You say that with such confidence!
[07:07] Captain Hook
    You're in the Anime Club, and you
    don't even remember the titles?
[07:10] Captain Hook
    Is the girl from Strange Midia?
[07:13] Captain Hook
    The giant mech, is it GahXephon?
[07:15] Captain Hook
    Defeating an enemy with singing,
    is that Super Dimension Bonsai Micross?
[07:18] Captain Hook
    Is the angel from A Dog of Decadence?
[07:22] Pink
    Those aren't it.
[07:24] Ragewriter
    The principal sure likes picking
    fights with the Anime Club.
[07:27] Ragewriter
    He's acting like a senpai.
[07:29] Ooooohohoho
    Come to think of it, the rough sketches in
    the club room were like Midia and GahXephon.
[07:35] Green
    Maybe the principal was in the Anime Club.
[07:37] Ooooohohoho
    Let's find out.
[07:41] Captain Hook
    A cute anime girl.
[07:42] Captain Hook
    The raw depiction of a girl in the scene
[07:45] Captain Hook
    where Mei Minling is given a choice
    between her life and her hair,
[07:48] Captain Hook
    and she chooses her hair, was shocking.
[07:51] Captain Hook
    Bishoujo Fighter Sailor Bunny was the
    first shoujo battle heroine manga.
[07:55] Captain Hook
    There would never be enough time to
    talk about the heart-filled final episode.
[08:00] Captain Hook
    And man, Ham-chan in
    Nurusei Yakara is so devoted.
[08:05] Captain Hook
    I want to cheat on her so she'll zap me.
[08:08] Captain Hook
    Hiatari Sokosoko! and Kimamani Mikan Road
[08:10] Captain Hook
    are the two best slice-of-life
    bishoujo anime.
[08:12] Captain Hook
    Ayuyama was based on an idol that
    was really popular at the time.
[08:16] Ooooohohoho
    Holy crap, that's him!
[08:18] Green
    From anime fan to anti-anime.
[08:20] Green
    What happened to him?
[08:22] Ragewriter
    Maybe he was an aspiring
    writer who came to hate anime
[08:25] Ragewriter
    after he was asked to rewrite the school
    festival script, like, 58 times.
[08:34] A
    We're protecting the school
    and the Anime Club ourselves!
[08:37] Aurora Green
    Pests.
[08:39] Captain Hook
    Back before the Internet,
    we read Animeta with hunger.
[08:43] Pink
    I shall study.
[08:45] Captain Hook
    It's too late.
[08:47] Captain Hook
    Your school festival anime will
    haunt you for the rest of your life.
[08:52] Pink
    Hey, now!
[08:54] Pink
    Making anime is hard, you know.
[08:57] Pink
    A battle of passion and personality.
[09:00] Pink
    Looming deadlines and dwindling stamina...
[09:03] Pink
    But it is the work of the director to bring
    the minds and talent together as one.
[09:12] Captain Hook
    You don't get to talk
    like you're the director!
[09:16] Captain Hook
    A director is a much more high-minded,
    noble, solitary figure.
[09:20] Captain Hook
    He's by himself!
[09:22] Captain Hook
    Nothing gets done without the director!
[09:24] Captain Hook
    Worship the director more!
[09:26] Captain Hook
    Suck up to them!
[09:27] Pink
    I understand.
[09:28] Pink
    I really understand.
[09:30] Ooooohohoho
    She totally doesn't.
[09:32] Green
    What a stuffy talk, though.
[09:36] Green
    Do you think the principal
    was an anime director?
[09:40] Glasses 2
    It's possible.
[09:42] Glasses 2
    Aurora!
[09:44] Glasses 2
    Why are you here?
[09:45] Aurora Green
    I'm sorry!
[09:47] Aurora Green
    There's a reason for this.
[09:49] Ooooohohoho
    We don't need your excuses, Aurora-senpai.
[09:51] Ragewriter
    It's too late, Aurora-senpai.
[09:54] Aurora Green
    I have five siblings.
[09:56] Ragewriter
    Six Aurora-senpais?!
[09:59] Aurora Green
    My older brothers are all
    complete losers, and...
[10:01] Aurora Green
    Wait, let's not talk about this.
[10:03] Aurora Green
    Anyway, I worked my butt off
    at a high-class coffee shop.
[10:08] Aurora Green
    The principal was a regular there.
[10:12] Aurora Green
    With my family's financial problems,
    I wasn't sure I should attend high school.
[10:15] Aurora Green
    That's when he gave me a hand.
[10:17] Aurora Green
    That's why I can't go against what he says.
[10:20] Aurora Green
    It was so terrible.
[10:22] Ooooohohoho
    Aurora-senpai, I had no idea.
[10:25] Glasses 2
    Yet you were always smiling.
[10:28] Glasses 2
    Aurora, damn it, man!
[10:31] Ragewriter
    Bliss!
[10:32] Green
    I can't blame you, then.
[10:34] Green
    Welcome back, Auroracchi.
[10:38] Aurora Green
    Thanks, everyone.
[10:41] Aurora Green
    Also, can you stop calling me Aurora?
[10:45] Captain Hook
    The director is number one!
[10:48] Pink
    Of course!
[10:50] Pink
    After talking to you, I'm as pumped
    as ever to get back to work.
[10:53] Captain Hook
    Back to work?
[10:54] Pink
    I'll work even harder on the second piece.
[10:56] Captain Hook
    Second piece?
[10:58] Pink
    Because I love anime.
[11:01] Pink
    Even without the Anime Club, we're friends.
[11:04] Pink
    As long as we're together,
    we can make a second one.
[11:10] Captain Hook
    There is no second one.
[11:15] Captain Hook
    Everything's over if you
    screw up the first episode.
[11:18] Captain Hook
    Even if you devote your entire
    being into creating two seasons,
[11:22] Captain Hook
    if the first episode gets
    canceled, it's all over.
[11:30] Pink
    What's going on?
[11:31] Captain Hook
    It's not my fault!
[11:33] Captain Hook
    It's not my fault!
[11:35] Captain Hook
    It's the anime fans' fault!
[11:37] Captain Hook
    Every freaking night, they gather in the
    corners of the Internet, nitpicking.
[11:42] Captain Hook
    Who the hell is "anon" anyway? Damn it all!
[11:46] Pink
    Have you made anime before, Principal?
[11:50] Glasses 2
    So he was a director.
[11:52] Green
    But canned after the first episode?
[11:54] Ooooohohoho
    He got dissed too hard; it broke him.
[11:56] Ragewriter
    As a creator, I have nothing but sympathy.
[11:59] Captain Hook
    My work was banished into oblivion!
[12:04] >3
    What a pain.
[12:06] Ragewriter
    Neko-chan.
[12:07] >3
    It's Neko-senpai!
[12:09] Glasses 2
    Cold!
[12:10] Green
    There's a cat door here.
[12:12] >3
    He's surprisingly fond of cats.
[12:16] Ooooohohoho
    Minoa, are you all right?
[12:20] Pink
    Arisu-chan?
[12:21] Ooooohohoho
    Open up.
[12:23] Pink
    Uh...
[12:25] Pink
    There are a ton of buttons.
[12:26] Pink
    I don't know.
[12:28] Ooooohohoho
    Principal, what's the password?
[12:32] >3
    He can't hear your voices right now.
[12:35] >3
    The lock to the door is the
    lock to his heart, perhaps.
[12:38] Ooooohohoho
    Lock to his heart?
[12:40] Ragewriter
    He probably means that until the principal
    opens his heart, it will never open.
[12:45] Glasses 2
    What are you, chuuni?
[12:46] >3
    You're one to talk.
[12:48] Ooooohohoho
    A password that would open his heart?
[12:51] Green
    If he broke down because of anime,
    he can only be saved through anime.
[12:57] Glasses 2
    Indeed.
[12:57] Glasses 2
    A ray of light at the end of the darkness.
[13:00] Glasses 2
    Let's find it!
[13:01] Green
    Yeah.
[13:04] Green
    Begin Project M.
[13:05] Green
    Ambitious start!
[13:07] Ooooohohoho
    Minoa, I promise I'll find
    the principal's anime.
[13:11] Ooooohohoho
    And I'll save you.

    week after, it never aired.
[17:58] Captain Hook
    That's because the director put a
    lid on the second episode onward.
[18:05] Green
    No way, we're going viral.
[18:10] Ooooohohoho
    Senpai!
[18:12] Ooooohohoho
    A fan sent me a link.
SIGN    Eternal Symphony
[18:23] Green
    Isn't this...
[18:25] Ragewriter
    Ultra Katharsis Koritsi.
[18:27] Ragewriter
    Could this be...
[18:32] Pink
    You know the director behind Ultra
    Katharsis Koritsi Eternal Symphony?
[18:37] Captain Hook
    He's right in front of you.
[18:43] Pink
    Whoa!
[18:45] Pink
    I'm a huge, huge, huge fan.
[18:48] Pink
    It's a treasure.
[18:50] Pink
    I love it.
[18:51] Captain Hook
    Okay, okay.
[18:53] Captain Hook
    So my work touched someone's heart.
[19:02] Captain Hook
    And that became that piece of shit anime?!
[19:08] Green
    Everything's fallen into place.
[19:15] Glasses 2
    We're here.
[19:17] Green
    Kaikai.
[19:18] Green
    Mikocchi.
[19:19] Green
    The password wasn't "catharsis."
[19:31] Glasses 2
    "Katharsis" is a Greek word.
[19:33] Glasses 2
    Philosopher Aristotle described it
    as the purification of the mind.
[19:34] Green
    Minoa!
[19:35] Ooooohohoho
    Minoacchi!
[19:35] Ragewriter
    Minoa!
[19:37] Pink
    Guys!
[19:39] Ooooohohoho
    Thank goodness, Minoa.
[19:42] Pink
    Arisu-chan.
[19:44] Ooooohohoho
    You're drenched.
[19:46] Ragewriter
    This is awful.
[19:48] Green
    The floor's soaked.
[19:50] Pink
    Um...
[19:51] Ooooohohoho
    Hold still.
[19:57] Captain Hook
    What?
[19:58] Ragewriter
    Right.
[19:59] Ragewriter
    Principal, look outside the window.
[20:17] Captain Hook
    What...
SIGN    Arisu FTW
[20:23] A
    Ultra Katharsis Koritsi!
[20:25] B
    Eternal Symphony!
[20:27] C
    Arisu-chan!
[20:29] Captain Hook
    Yes, just like them, I love anime.
[20:35] Captain Hook
    Even now.
[20:37] Glasses 2
    The effectiveness of a tragedy
    is in the fierce emotions of fear
[20:41] Glasses 2
    and sympathy that an audience experiences.
[20:45] Glasses 2
    To be freed from such is
    what is known as catharsis.
[20:57] Captain Hook
    Bye bye-ki...
[21:01] Green
    I love the club room.
[21:04] >3
    I feel the most relaxed here, too.
[21:07] Ragewriter
    I'm the same, Neko-senpai.
[21:10] >3
    Wait, that's too relaxing!
[21:13] Pink
    Miko-chan, you can understand
    what Neko-senpai is saying?
[21:16] Ooooohohoho
    Obviously.
[21:18] Ooooohohoho
    Hold still.
[21:20] Pink
    Weird.
[21:22] Pink
    What happened to everyone?
[21:36] Pink
    So that rain was real.
[21:41] Pink
    A yearbook.
[21:43] Pink
    It's the principal's.
[21:47] Pink
    No!
[21:48] Pink
    Wh-Why?
[21:52] Pink
    Aurora-senpai?
[23:28] >3
    The next episode is the climax.
[23:31] >3
    Let me tell you now: don't believe anything!
[23:34] >3
    Otherwise...
[23:38] >3
    You'll end up like this.
