SIGN    Student Council Room SIGN    Notice of Club Room     Use Prohibition [01:58] Green     What's the meaning of this? [02:00] More green     We can't grant you use of the club rooms [02:03] More green     when you haven't formally     registered your club. [02:05] Green     We got the six members that we need. [02:08] Purple     We received an application for an Anime Club, [02:11] Purple     but it's up to us, the Student Council, [02:15] Purple     to decide whether or not the     club can be established. [02:19] Pink     Gomon-sensei, do something! [02:22] Burnt-out Charlie from Omaha     What can I do? [02:24] Burnt-out Charlie from Omaha     The principal already stamped it. [02:26] Burnt-out Charlie from Omaha     I'm just a lowly teacher. [02:28] Yellow     You're not very dependable. [02:30] Yellow     And you call yourself our supervisor? [02:32] Burnt-out Charlie from Omaha     I told you not to expect much from me. [02:36] Puke Green     So we're out of luck. [02:40] Yellow     We were just getting started, too. [02:43] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     I think I'll go home and watch     yesterday's late-night anime. [02:47] Pink     Hey, Senpai... [02:51] Green     Let's hit up Akiba. [02:56] Pink     Akiba? [03:03] Pink     Akiba's awesome! [03:05] Pink     It's that anime Arisu-san lent me. [03:08] Pink     Over there! [03:09] Pink     It's that anime you showed me, Miko-chan! [03:12] Yellow     You need to calm down, Minoa. [03:14] Yellow     I know that it's exciting being     in Akiba for your first time. [03:17] Green     All right, [03:19] Green     I think I'll give you a lesson     on how to enjoy Akiba. [03:29] Puke Green     This would be a cosplay specialty shop. [03:31] Puke Green     Is this your first time     seeing this kind of thing? [03:33] Pink     Yes. [03:34] Pink     It's amazing! [03:36] Pink     It really is just like in the anime. [03:38] Yellow     Cosplay is certainly important     in discussing anime, [03:42] Yellow     but there are plenty of other     things to show an Akiba beginner. [03:46] Yellow     Erika-senpai? [03:53] Pink     I've seen that outfit before! [03:56] ---     What was it...? [03:57] Yellow     It's Nacchan from Dub Tone! [04:01] Yellow     You look fantastic. [04:03] FFFF00     They had a new one, so I had to try it out. [04:06] Pink     That voice... [04:07] Yellow     Erika-senpai?! [04:09] Green     Yup. [04:12] Yellow     I couldn't tell at all. [04:15] Green     People really can't tell who you are     once you wear a costume and a wig. [04:19] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Cosplayer problems. [04:22] Green     Speaking of cosplayer problems, [04:24] Green     you know when someone wants     to coordinate with you, [04:26] Green     and you get all kinds of suggestions, [04:28] Green     you go through all of them,     and you end up sleep-deprived? [04:31] Pink     Coordinate? [04:32] Green     Cosplaying characters from the same work. [04:35] Green     I ended up checking out tons. [04:38] Yellow     How many? [04:44] Green     I think just about everything     that's on display here. [04:48] Pink     That's amazing. [04:49] Green     If you're going to cosplay, you might as     well get your poses down, right? [04:53] Green     For that, you have to watch the anime, too. [04:57] Pink     Cosplay sounds like fun. [05:00] Green     Come to think of it, you've already     done a bunny cosplay, haven't you? [05:05] Green     Hey, we don't have enough     people to cosplay Toumabu. [05:08] Green     Want to try it? [05:10] Pink     Huh? Me? [05:12] Green     Nakimushi Saddle would work, too. [05:14] Green     I could lend you my cycling jersey. [05:16] Pink     Um... [05:17] Green     Don't worry. [05:19] Green     I'll teach you all you need to know—     poses, makeup, everything. [05:23] Pink     I guess I'll give it a try, then. [05:26] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     You've been sucked into     Aoyama's cosplay universe. [05:29] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     You're never getting out. [05:32] Yellow     Saddle's great, Minoa. [05:36] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Next up is definitely this place. [05:38] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Anime Soul. [05:39] @_@     It's very much the tower of dreams. [05:41] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     You could also say it's a Tower of Babel,     where lust and vices flourish. [05:47] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Asagaya, are you prepared to set foot? [05:50] Pink     Look at this huge stack of anime magazines! [05:54] Pink     Aren't you guys coming in? [06:02] Yellow     The first floor is magazines. [06:03] Yellow     The second floor is new book releases. [06:06] Yellow     The third floor is     previously-published books. [06:08] Yellow     You can get most light novels here. [06:10] Pink     It looks like a normal bookstore so far. [06:14] Green     So far, yeah. [06:15] Green     But from the fourth floor up, [06:17] Green     it's all anime merch! [06:23] Pink     Wow! [06:25] Pink     There's so much stuff! [06:29] Yellow     They have new Odopuri badges. [06:31] Pink     Badges? [06:33] FFFF00     She means these. [06:35] Pink     Oh, those badges. [06:36] Green     Minoacchi. [06:38] Green     Don't you think these Micross Gamma     rubber straps are really cute? [06:43] Pink     So these are rubber straps? [06:46] Green     It's such a cute SD character. [06:47] Yellow     I like the chibiness. [06:49] Puke Green     It makes you collect all of them. [06:51] Yellow     I know. [06:52] Yellow     I love the roundness of its form. [06:55] Puke Green     Yup. [06:55] Puke Green     Cuteness is justice. [06:57] Yellow     It is. [06:58] Yellow     By the way, where did Miko go? [07:03] Puke Green     Kaikai's missing, too. [07:04] Puke Green     They must have gone to the higher floors. [07:06] Pink     Oh, I'll go look for them. SIGN    Meido [07:14] Pink     Kaikai-senpai. [07:18] Pink     Hey, Senpai?

[07:24] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     You're one of them, aren't you? [07:27] Pink     Them? [07:28] Pink     I'm with the Anime Club. [07:30] Pink     By the way, Kaikai-senpai... [07:32] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Musashisakai Kai! [07:34] Pink     What kind of merch were you     looking at, Kai-senpai? [07:39] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Margedo Lee from Higan no Arina! [07:42] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     She's the character who wields     the evil book, Grimoire! [07:45] Pink     So that's that Grim-whatever     you were talking about. [07:51] Pink     Huh? [07:52] Pink     But how does she fight with a book? [07:55] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     That's a good question, coming from you. [07:58] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     That's where special power battles shine. [08:01] Pink     Meaning? [08:02] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Things that aren't usually used as weapons,     or abilities that aren't meant for fighting. [08:05] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Those are used in special power battles     and that's why they're interesting! [08:10] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     This is a book, but other examples include... [08:13] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Paper, [08:14] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     coins, [08:15] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     electricity, [08:17] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     and cards!

[08:33] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     You aren't bored? [08:37] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     I mean, you're just listening to me. [08:40] Pink     I'm excited just listening. [08:44] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     You sure are weird. [08:45] @_@     If I may... [08:47] Pink     You scared me. [08:49] @_@     Are you aware that Margedo     Lee has a very good backstory [08:52] @_@     that isn't shown in the anime? [08:54] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     What?! [08:55] @_@     I was about to soak the book in tears. [09:00] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     You know the truth of a     world that I've yet to see? [09:03] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     You've taken a glimpse into     the other side, have you? [09:05] @_@     I love Higan no Arina, after all. [09:09] @_@     Though I prefer the original. [09:12] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     The first-years this year amuse me. [09:20] Green     What the heck is that? [09:22] Pink     I'm so glad those two are hitting it off. [09:24] Pink     Akiba's an amazing place. [09:26] Green     Sure, let's just leave it at that. [09:30] Pink     That really was fun. [09:33] Green     Right? [09:34] Green     I come here whenever I'm down. [09:38] Green     Hey, why don't we keep doing the Anime Club, [09:42] Green     as an out-of-school thing? [09:44] Pink     Well... [09:46] @_@     I oppose. [09:48] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Two objections at the same time. [09:50] Green     I-Is there a reason? [09:52] Yellow     Because, in The Club Room     and the Fish Cat's Elegant Life... [09:56] @_@     ...they had a club room. [09:59] Pink     The Club Room and the Fish Cat? [10:01] Puke Green     It's a slice-of-life anime that focuses     on conversations in a club room. [10:04] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     I saw people online three-ep-cutting     it because it made them sleepy. [10:11] @_@     How could they drop it     after only three episodes?! [10:13] Yellow     It's that chill atmosphere     that makes it so great! [10:15] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Don't tell me, tell them! [10:17] Pink     Three-ep-cutting? [10:22] Green     They're talking about dropping     the show after episode 3. [10:25] Green     Basically, they stopped watching it. [10:28] Pink     Why three episodes? [10:30] Yellow     A lot of anime has a turning     point on the third episode. [10:35] @_@     You start watching it, thinking it's     a lighthearted magic girl anime, [10:38] @_@     when suddenly someone gets killed. SIGN    3Kiriize Debut [10:41] Puke Green     They practice their songs,     work on their costumes, [10:43] Puke Green     and finally debut as idols! [10:44] Puke Green     And there isn't a single     person in the audience. [10:48] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     It's a technique used to shock the audience [10:52] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     and get them to watch the series     until the end out of curiosity. [10:56] Green     In other words, if they don't     jump the shark in episode three, [10:59] Green     they're declaring that they plan     to keep going as they were. [11:02] Puke Green     Unfortunately, [11:03] Puke Green     at that point, some people will drop the     series because it isn't their thing. [11:07] Yellow     That's way too cheap! [11:09] @_@     Episode three is when the background     and setting have been presented, [11:12] @_@     and the story begins to really move forward. [11:14] Yellow     The characters start to build rapport,     and their dialogue becomes more fun. [11:19] @_@     It's wasteful to drop an anime     after the third episode, [11:21] @_@     when it's just getting started. [11:22] @_@     Right? [11:23] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     You two are pretty close. [11:29] Yellow     The Anime Club's going to get the     three-ep-cut, if we don't do something. [11:33] @_@     It hasn't even started, so zero-ep-cut? [11:36] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Back to what I was saying... [11:38] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     It's when they unleash their abilities     that a battle anime is at its best. [11:42] Pink     When they unleash their abilities? [11:43] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     For example, removing the     bracelet from their wrist, [11:46] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     removing their eye patch, [11:47] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     unleashing their true powers. [11:50] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     The catharsis is pure bliss. [11:53] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     As for me... [11:55] Pink     You have one, too, Kaikai-senpai? [11:57] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     It's Kai! [11:59] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     When I remove this Witlim Opticum, [12:02] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     handed down to me from     sages of generations past, [12:04] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     the power of my evil eye will be released, [12:06] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     and there will be hell on earth! [12:13] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     But the best part of special     power battle anime is... [12:13] Nasalis Transitus Voxum     We will soon be arriving at Ikebukuro. [12:14] Green     Hey, we're there. [12:16] Nasalis Transitus Voxum     Please be sure to take     all of your belongings. [12:23] Pink     Tell me more about anime sometime. [12:37] Pink     I wanted to hear more. [12:39] Pink     If only we had a club room,     we could talk for a lot longer.

[13:10] Yellow     That's way too harsh! [13:13] Pink     Please go protest them, Gomon-sensei. [13:17] Burnt-out Charlie from Omaha     I don't know, I was the one     who brought it up, after all. [13:21] Burnt-out Charlie from Omaha     Explain the need for an Anime Club.     If it's approved, [13:25] Burnt-out Charlie from Omaha     it'll be given official permission     to operate as a club. [13:28] Burnt-out Charlie from Omaha     Of course, we get the club room back. [13:31] Pink     And if it's not approved? [13:33] Burnt-out Charlie from Omaha     Shut it down! [13:38] Burnt-out Charlie from Omaha     They wouldn't bite without those conditions. [13:43] Burnt-out Charlie from Omaha     Besides, you were the one who     asked me to do something about it. [13:46] Pink     Come on! [13:50] Green     And so we don't get to have     a club this year, either. [13:53] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     What do you plan to do, Aoyama? [13:55] Green     Nothing, really. [13:56] Green     If those girls want to keep working     at it, I'll have their back. [13:59] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     But you're not going to take any initiative? [14:01] Green     That's why I suggested doing it     as an out-of-school activity. [14:05] Green     That was your intention the     whole time, too, wasn't it? [14:11] Yellow     Erika-senpai says she won't make a speech. [14:14] @_@     I figured as much. [14:15] @_@     She said she wasn't particular     about making it a club. [14:19] Pink     But... [14:22] Pink     I wanted to hear more. [14:23] Pink     If only we had a club room,     we could talk for a lot longer. [14:28] Pink     I still want somewhere     I can be with you guys. [14:33] Yellow     Minoa... [14:34] Pink     Let's protect our club room. [14:37] Pink     Let's make the speech count. [14:39] Yellow     Yeah. [14:40] Yellow     Leave the script to me. [14:42] @_@     I believe in you. [14:46] Yellow     I know you're nervous. [14:47] Yellow     I am, too. [14:49] @_@     But the Anime Club's future     rests on your shoulders. [14:54] Pink     Uh... [14:55] Yellow     I'll support you with everything I've got. [14:57] @_@     This anime has my favorite speech. [15:00] @_@     Please watch it by tomorrow. [15:03] Pink     Right...

[15:15] Neko-senpai     Are you all right? [15:17] Pink     Neko-senpai! [15:19] Pink     I can't make a speech! [15:24] Neko-senpai     Here. [15:27] Neko-senpai     It's a good luck charm. [15:28] Neko-senpai     Keep it. [15:31] Pink     Dried sardine? [15:35] Neko-senpai     Good luck, samurai girl! [15:39] Neko-senpai     I've always wanted to say that once. [15:43] Purple Popo     The purpose of extracurricular     activities at this academy [15:46] Purple Popo     is to enrich school life, to improve     friendships between students, [15:51] Purple Popo     and to thus create something meaningful. [15:54] Purple Popo     Meanwhile, watching anime is nothing     more than unproductive pastime. [15:58] Yellow     She's just bashing anime non-stop. [16:01] Green     Although she's right about what she's saying. [16:02] Purple Popo     They immerse themselves in     these childish, empty stories, [16:04] Green     Anime is fun, but it isn't     really creating anything. [16:05] Purple Popo     wasting huge amounts of time. [16:07] Purple Popo     It is not becoming of a student. [16:09] Yellow     Erika-senpai? [16:10] Green     But whether anime has value or     not isn't for anyone to decide. [16:11] Purple Popo     An extracurricular that does not     produce any value is worthless, [16:15] Purple Popo     and is nothing but a     hindrance to our education. [16:19] Purple Popo     Therefore, I move that the     Anime Club be abolished. [16:28] Voice     Next, Asagaya Minoa-san of the Anime Club. [16:32] Pink     Yes. [16:36] Puke Green     Minoa-chan's really tense. [16:38] Yellow     Don't worry, I gave her the best script ever. [16:44] Pink     We have lost but one club room. [16:46] Pink     Does this foreshadow our defeat? [16:48] Pink     Nay! It is a new beginning! [16:53] Pink     Huh? [16:54] Pink     Arisu-chan told me this     would get the crowd going. [16:58] Green     Would you actually use that? [17:00] Yellow     That's supposed to be a     perfect hook for a speech. [17:04] Yellow     This isn't right. [17:05] @_@     Useless. [17:07] Pink     Um, er... [17:09] Pink     We of the Anime Club research anime. [17:13] Pink     I mean, we don't really     research anime, but... [17:15] Pink     Um... [17:16] Pink     Like, we talk about what we watched     last night, what shows we recommend... [17:16] A     Huh? [17:17] A     What kind of club is that? [17:19] B     A light convo club? [17:20] C     Do we need that? [17:22] Pink     And I, well, I don't know     anything about anime. [17:27] ---     E-Er... Um... [17:28] Pink     So, I... [17:30] Pink     But anime is... [17:48] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     When I remove my Witlim Opticum handed     down to me from sages of generations past, [17:53] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     the power of my evil eye will be released, [17:55] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     and there will be hell on earth! [18:00] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Hear me: I love special power battle anime! [18:05] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     I love them! [18:06] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Why, you ask? [18:08] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     I could give you many answers. [18:10] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     The weakest use their abilities,     which couldn't possibly be useful in battle, [18:13] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     to make themselves into the most powerful. [18:16] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     They engage in battles impossible in     reality, razing buildings in their wake. [18:21] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     It is all magnificent! [18:23] Cranky Green     Chair! We're done, right? [18:26] Cranky Green     We don't need to listen to any more of     his arguments— I mean, his nonsense. [18:29] Cranky Green     Just carry the motion to abolish... [18:29] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Listen when I speak! [18:34] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     The best part of a special     ability battle anime is... [18:39] Pink     He's continuing where we left off. [18:43] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Is that they always side with the weak, [18:47] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     and overturn the strong but tyrannous! [18:51] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     They hear the voices of the voiceless. [18:53] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     They become power for the powerless. [18:55] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     That is the essence of the     special power battle anime. [18:58] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Make-believe? Convenient? [19:01] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Laugh if you must. [19:02] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     But it's in anime that we learned justice,     friendship and perseverance. [19:09] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     What gives the student council the     right to declare that "worthless"? [19:14] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     This student council has not one member     that can do an electric attack! [19:17] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Not one that can teleport! [19:19] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Not one with any special powers! [19:23] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     If you choose to yield to the student     council and vote to end the Anime Club, [19:26] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     that is your choice to make. [19:28] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     But if that's how you make your decision,     you'll be crowd characters all your lives! [19:33] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     Do you not want to become a main character,     standing true to your beliefs? [19:39] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     I do! [19:41] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     For that is what anime has taught me to do. [19:44] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     That is all. [20:10] Puke Green     You can't see anything without     your glasses, can you, Kaikai? [20:15] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     It's Kai. [20:17] The Universal Color of Various Blended Foods     I could have never done that if I could see. [20:25] Puke Green     We won about half the male vote [20:28] Puke Green     and quite a bit of the female vote, [20:30] Puke Green     and we managed to reclaim the club room.
