    Hello!
[00:07] Pink
    Huh?
[00:10] ---
    No one's here?
[00:12] Neko
    Damn it, you're so noisy.
[00:14] Neko
    You woke me up.
[00:16] Pink
    Sorry, I might be here too early,
[00:19] Pink
    especially with Arisu-chan on cleaning duty.

    Hello.
[00:22] Pink
    Yes?

    I'll shut down your club.

    And...
[02:30] Yellow Grinch
    Chairperson.
[02:31] Green Grinch
    We've returned. As instructed,
    we've researched the club's expenditures,
[02:35] Green Grinch
    the members' friendships,
    their favorite anime...
[02:38] Green Grinch
    Everything there is to
    know about the Anime Club...
[02:42] Purple Grinch
    I see.
[02:44] Purple Grinch
    I don't care how insignificant it may seem.
[02:46] Purple Grinch
    Find any and every issue you can.
[02:48] Green Grinch
    Yes.
[02:51] Neko
    That was a close one.
[02:54] Pink
    You could have helped me,
    rather than just saving yourself.

    This is all anime?
[03:20] Ojojojo
    I ordered it all on Numazon so that we'd
    have a collection fit for the Anime Club.
[03:27] Green
    The special edition Dub Tone movie
    Blu-ray with limited-edition packaging.
[03:31] Green
    It has the uncut concert scene, too, right?
[03:35] Oatmeal Supreme
    Oh?
[03:36] Oatmeal Supreme
    The Chaos Mad Nova box set.
[03:39] Oatmeal Supreme
    The fan disc has the unthinkable, younger
    sister story, too, if I'm not mistaken.
[03:44] T_T
    You even got the latest volume of Anosuba.
[03:47] T_T
    I can watch the useless goddess Aquina's
    barfing scenes over and over in the club room!
[03:53] Ojojojo
    We've got a nice set of saucers?
[03:56] Pink
    Saucers?
[03:57] Ojojojo
    Not those saucers.
[03:58] Ojojojo
    It's what we call physical anime discs.
[04:04] Ojojojo
    Disc sales can make or
    break a late-night anime.
[04:09] Ojojojo
    It's a critical matter.

    People would talk about how
    the artwork is a disaster,

    but the artists would spend sleepless nights,
[04:37] T_T
    working their butts off to
    turn it into something divine.
[04:40] Oatmeal Supreme
    Once you're a master, like I am,
    you'll have a copy for storage,
[04:44] Oatmeal Supreme
    for decorating,
[04:45] Oatmeal Supreme
    for evangelism,
[04:45] Oatmeal Supreme
    for watching,
[04:46] Oatmeal Supreme
    for backup,
[04:48] Oatmeal Supreme
    along with all the store-specific exclusives.
[04:50] Oatmeal Supreme
    I don't hesitate to buy multiple copies.
[04:53] Green
    Sure, sure.
[04:54] Oatmeal Supreme
    Thus, no matter how much funding I
    have, it all vanishes into the discs.
[04:59] Oatmeal Supreme
    The time has come for me to tap
    into my Swiss bank account.
[05:01] Pink
    Why are they so desperate to sell discs?
[05:06] Ojojojo
    Good question.
[05:07] Ojojojo
    Airing anime doesn't actually make money.
[05:12] Green
    Making anime costs a lot of money.
[05:15] Green
    So multiple companies
    invest in a single show,
[05:19] Green
    and create an organization called
    a "production committee."
[05:22] Pink
    Committee?
[05:23] Ojojojo
    Production committees come up
    with budgets for the anime,
[05:26] Ojojojo
    and distribute revenue from
    the discs and merchandise,
[05:31] Ojojojo
    as well as from online streaming
    and overseas distribution.

[05:34] Ojojojo
    If the sales figures are good,
    sometimes they'll even get a second season.
[05:39] Green
    At times, they'd work
    to hype it up, at times,
[05:42] Green
    they'd change the content of the
    anime for the sake of business.
[05:45] Green
    They're kind of like a
    powerful shadow organization
[05:49] Green
    that has immeasurable influence
    over the production.
[05:54] Pink
    I never knew.
[05:56] Puke Green
    You see it on the screen
    in school anime a lot.
[05:59] Puke Green
    For example, Sakaneko Academy
    Private School Student Council
.
[06:02] Pink
    So then,
[06:03] Pink
    the student council is a shadow
    organization that controls the school?
[06:08] Ojojojo
    Minoa, are you sure you haven't
    been watching too much anime?
[06:12] T_T
    Although she's probably right in that
    you'd be in trouble if you opposed them.
[06:15] Green
    Hey, did you buy all these discs?
[06:19] Ojojojo
    Well,
[06:20] Ojojojo
    what belongs to the Anime Club belongs to me.
[06:22] Ojojojo
    What belongs to me belongs to me.
[06:27] Oatmeal Supreme
    Wait, so, what?
[06:31] Green Grinch
    We've finally got you, Anime Club!
[06:35] Pink
    It's them!
[06:36] Pink

[06:38] Green Grinch
    What?
[06:39] Green
    Nothing, we were talking
    about something else.
[06:41] Green
    So what do you want?

    What's got you so eager?

    This is the receipt for club spending.

    The criminal is among us!
[07:03] Ojojojo
    You're correct.
[07:05] Green Grinch
    Wait, why are you so quick to confess?
[07:08] Green Grinch
    Give me a chance to show off
    my Vice President skills!
[07:11] Yellow Grinch
    This is where the treasurer gets to show off.
[07:14] Yellow Grinch
    A total cost of 341,951 yen.
[07:17] Yellow Grinch
    To think you wasted club
    funding on such a thing.
[07:20] Ojojojo
    With all due respect, the club
    funding belongs to the club members.
[07:23] Ojojojo
    That is, it belongs to me.
[07:25] Ojojojo
    What's wrong with using
    my own money for myself?
[07:28] Oatmeal Supreme
    That's what you meant?!
[07:30] Purple Grinch
    In any case,
[07:32] Purple Grinch
    a newly-founded Anime Club won't be allowed
    to spend such a large amount of money.
[07:37] Ojojojo
    Then I'll use my pocket money.
[07:40] Ojojojo
    Sebas.
[07:41] Green
    Wait a minute, Arisucchi.
[07:44] Green
    As the president, it's my fault that I
    failed to adequately manage the members.
[07:48] Green
    Besides, this is the kind of thing
    that we need to solve for ourselves.
[07:53] Purple Grinch
    Then how about this:
[07:55] Purple Grinch
    For the next week, you'll assist the
    other clubs without compensation.
[07:59] Purple Grinch
    Unless the student council
    approves of the work you do,
[08:02] Purple Grinch
    the Anime Club will be abolished.
[08:04] Green
    Th-That's too...
[08:06] Purple Grinch
    Of course you can't.
[08:07] Purple Grinch
    The Anime Club isn't good for anything.
[08:11] Purple Grinch
    It can't create anything.
[08:12] Purple Grinch
    It's just baggage.
[08:14] Purple Grinch
    There's no way you can do anything
    of merit for the other clubs.
[08:19] Purple Grinch
    You'll have to prove otherwise,
    if that bothers you.
[08:23] Purple Grinch
    That I'm wrong.
[08:24] Yellow Grinch
    It'll be interesting.
[08:34] Pink
    We just survived getting shut down.
[08:37] Puke Green
    Here you go.
[08:39] Pink
    Nakano-senpai.
[08:41] Pink
    Thank you.
[08:43] Pink
    I never knew we were at the same station.
[08:46] Puke Green
    A heavy-handed student council
    threatening to shut down a club.
[08:49] Puke Green
    It's a club anime classic.
[08:51] Pink
    I know, right?
[08:52] Pink
    I saw something like that on a TV drama.
[08:54] Puke Green
    Yeah, I mean in an anime.
[08:56] Pink
    Oh. Okay.
[08:58] Pink
    So why did you join the Anime Club?
[09:02] Puke Green
    Well...
[09:04] Puke Green
    I think I've always aspired to be
    in a club with like-minded people.
[09:09] Puke Green
    The moment we come together
    and grow as a group
[09:14] Puke Green
    is quite spectacular, don't you think?
[09:17] Puke Green
    Just like that Onotokisaka Academy Idol Club.
[09:21] Pink
    Onotokisaka?
[09:23] Puke Green
    It's a legendary high school idol club.
[09:27] Puke Green
    They overcame the student
    council's sabotaging,
[09:29] Puke Green
    and saved the club from being abolished.
[09:31] Pink
    And those are high schoolers?
[09:34] Pink
    That's amazing.
[09:35] Pink
    We have to do what we can, too, then.

    This calls for me to acquire this academy

    Anime creates a lot of things.
[19:24] Green
    Not just things, but bonds
    between person and person.
[19:28] Green
    Didn't it do that for us, too, Tsubaki?
[19:37] (Flashback) Green
    Tsubaki, it's time to transform!
[19:41] (Flashback) Green
    PreFae is two people.
[19:43] (Flashback) Green
    I need one more.
[19:45] (Flashback) Purple Grinch
    Erika-chan...
[19:51] (Flashback) Green
    Enemies of Mother Earth...
[19:55] (Flashback) Purple Grinch
    ...cease your evil deeds!
[20:01] Purple Grinch
    You and I aren't the same anymore.
[20:04] Purple Grinch
    I'm the student president.
[20:05] Purple Grinch
    I can't let this slide.
[20:08] Ponytail
    Raise the curtains.
[20:19] Ponytail
    Our costumes today were put
    together by the Anime Club.
[20:23] Ponytail
    It's thanks to them that our
    performance was a success.
[20:28] Ponytail
    Please give a grand round of applause.
[20:35] Baseball
    Thanks for the help!
[20:37] Radio
    We got more listeners thanks to you.
[20:39] Chef
    We got our club room renovated!
[20:42] Purple Grinch
    I hate to admit it, but you win this time.
[20:45] Purple Grinch
    I'll take back abolishing the club.
[20:47] Green
    Tsubaki...
[20:48] Purple Grinch
    But don't you forget.
[20:50] Purple Grinch
    I'll never get to like what you like.
[20:54] Yellow Grinch
    Wait, President!
[20:56] Green Grinch
    How can you be so easy?!
[20:59] Pink
    We did it, Erika-senpai.
[21:02] Ojojojo
    I'll be more careful about how
    I use club funding from now on.
[21:05] Green
    Thanks, guys.
[21:08] Pink
    Erika-senpai!
[21:11] Puke Green
    We're dazzling right now.
[21:14] Puke Green
    You're all my beautiful little kittens.
SIGN    Student Council Room
[21:18] Purple Grinch
    Yes.
[21:19] Purple Grinch
    I failed to shut down the club.
[21:21] Purple Grinch
    This situation is no longer under my control.
[21:26] Purple Grinch
    Yes.
[21:27] Purple Grinch
    Pardon me.
[21:29] Yellow Grinch
    President.
[21:31] Green Grinch
    Guess what they did this time!
[21:35] Pink
    300,000 yen worth of cosplay costumes!
[21:38] Purple Grinch
    I don't need any more reports.
[21:42] Purple Grinch
    It seems your resolve will
    be tested even more, Erika.
[23:22] Neko
    Anime, back in the day, had people
    become idols with just a bit of magic.
[23:26] Neko
    It was so filled with dreams!
[23:28] Neko
    Idol anime these days have them
    legit practicing and auditioning.
[23:32] Neko
    Tough times we live in.
[23:34] Neko
