**[00:05] Pink**
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.
**[00:21] Numa Numa Yay**
Hello.
**[00:22] Pink**
Yes?
**[00:23] Numa Numa Yay**
Numazon delivery.
**[00:29] Pink**
Wh-What...
**[00:36] Numa Numa Yay**
Thank you.
**[00:42] Pink**
Help!
**[00:47] Sports**
Ready...

Anime Club...
**[02:23] Purple Grinch**
I won't give up.
**[02:25] Purple Grinch**
I'll shut down your club.
**[02:27] Purple Grinch**
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.
**[02:57] ---**
You okay?
**[03:00] Puke Green**
Nakano-senpai.
**[03:03] Pink**
Thank you.
**[03:05] Puke Green**
I'm glad for you, my little kitten.
**[03:09] Pink**
What do you think these boxes are?
**[03:12] Ojojojo**
Oh.
**[03:13] Ojojojo**
It looks like they've arrived.

**[03:17] Pink**
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.
***SIGN*** Wonderland Heart
**[04:11] Ojojojo**
They come with concert raffle tickets
and event invitations and such.
***SIGN*** Concerts Events Fan-Meets
**[04:18] Ojojojo**
The bonus material gets better every year.
**[04:21] Ojojojo**
They even come with figures or concept art.
**[04:24] Ojojojo**
Sometimes, you can't even
tell what's the main product.
***SIGN*** Blu-ray Volume 1 Includes Figure

**[04:28] T_T**
People would talk about how
the artwork is a disaster,
**[04:32] T_T**
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**
The production committee!
**[06:38] Green Grinch**
What?
**[06:39] Green**
Nothing, we were talking
about something else.
**[06:41] Green**
So what do you want?
**[06:42] Green**
What's got you so eager?
**[06:44] Yellow Grinch**
This is the receipt for club spending.
**[06:48] Yellow Grinch**
What is "Anime software costs"?
**[06:52] Yellow Grinch**
You didn't buy that using
club funding, did you?
***SIGN*** God's Love on This
Wonderful Blessing!
**[06:56] Green Grinch**
Don't bother trying to hide it.
**[06:58] Green Grinch**
The jig is up.
**[07:00] Green Grinch**
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.
**[09:39] Puke Green**
Yeah, it was an anime, though.
**[09:40] Pink**
Let's do this!

Hello, everyone—
**[11:02] Puke Green**
I don't understand you.

It's no use!
**[11:30] Ojojojo**
We've screwed up at every club we've helped.
**[11:33] T_T**
Where's Gomon-sensei when you need him?
**[11:35] Green**
He's on business abroad this week.
**[11:37] Green**
To China, apparently.
**[11:39] Ojojojo**
What terrible timing.
**[11:41] Oatmeal Supreme**
We only have two more days.
**[11:45] Oatmeal Supreme**
We're really going to end up being shut down.
**[11:48] T_T**
This was originally your fault, Arisu.
**[11:51] Ojojojo**
This calls for me to acquire this academy
and take over the student council.
**[11:55] Oatmeal Supreme**
Your thoughts are possessed by the devil.
**[11:59] T_T**
It appears so.
**[12:00] Ojojojo**
Wh-What?!
**[12:04] Pink**
G-Guys...
**[12:05] Green**
Stop.
**[12:07] Green**
This isn't the time to
be fighting with each other.

Here we go.

It's a request from the Drama Club.

Just watching them,

It's just utterly amazing.

Feature these, and I guarantee that
you'll have the best costume ever.

We can convince the student council now.
**[18:56] Purple Grinch**
No, we don't approve.
**[18:59] Purple Grinch**
You're sorely mistaken if you think you've
done enough to avoid getting shut down.
**[19:03] Purple Grinch**
That silly anime club of yours.
**[19:05] Green**
It's not silly.
**[19:08] Green**
Anime saved me when I was
alone, studying abroad.
**[19:12] Green**
So I'm not going to lose this Anime Club,

It's not true that anime
doesn't create anything.

Anime creates a lot of things.

Not just things, but bonds
between person and person.
**[19:28] Green**
Didn't it do that for us, too, Tsubaki?
