[00:02] Enemy Green
Looking at the Anime Club's
school festival plans...
[00:05] Enemy Green
What do you think you're doing?!
[00:07] Enemey Yellow
An anime screening, huh?
[00:09] Enemey Yellow
Although the student council president
is close with the anime club president.
[00:13] Enemey Yellow
I guess it's no use protesting.
[00:28] Sports
I could never figure it out.
[00:30] Sports
So I finally asked Senpai, and it turns out,
it's the word for the back of your knee!
[00:34] ---
What?! Amazing!
[02:06] Pink
Hello.
[02:08] Pink
Whoa, it's the Production Committee.
[02:10] Enemy Green
Student council!
[02:12] Pink
Are you occupied right now?
[02:16] Pink
Did Arisu-chan use a ton of club funds again?
[02:19] Friendly Yellow
What do you mean by "again"?
[02:21] Poor Guy
Not this time.
[02:22] Friendly Yellow
Not this time?!
[02:24] But he IS 2D!
The president submitted a proposal
for the school festival, but...
[02:27] But he IS 2D!
Go ahead.
[02:29] Friendly Yellow
"An anime screening? I can't approve."
[02:33] But he IS 2D!
...is what the council president said.
[02:35] Enemey Yellow
You sound nothing like her.
[02:36] Enemy Green
Arts clubs are required to present
something at the school festival,
[02:39] Enemy Green
in part, to demonstrate what
they've been working on.
[02:42] Enemy Green
Unless you can show off something
impressive for the Anime Club,
[02:45] Enemy Green
I won't let you participate.
[02:47] Ally Green
So why can't we have an anime screening
to show off the Anime Club's activities?
[02:54] Ally Green
Let me talk to Tsubaki.
[02:56] Enemy Green
The president won't be meeting with you.
[02:57] Enemey Yellow
If you can't present anything,
the club will be shut down.
[03:01] Pink
Shut down again?!
[03:14] Pink
What should we do?
[03:16] Enemy Green
We have to do it.
[03:17] Enemy Green
We need to come up with an
idea for something to present,
[03:20] Enemy Green
or we're getting shut down.
[03:24] But he IS 2D!
Shall we write a doujinshi or something?
[03:27] Puke Green
How about a concert?
[03:30] Poor Guy
A presentation of the special ability
battle anime concepts I came up with.
[03:35] Friendly Yellow
How about we invite voice actors,
and hold a public radio recording?
[03:38] But he IS 2D!
That's too bourgeoisie.
[03:42] Pink
I know, how about we make an anime together?
[03:53] Ally Green
Minoacchi, do you have any idea how
much work it is to make an anime?
[03:57] Pink
It is?
[03:59] But he IS 2D!
Scripts, storyboards, artwork, recording...
[04:02] But he IS 2D!
It takes a lot of people.
[04:04] Poor Guy
Not even my Swiss bank account
could cover the production cost.
[04:09] But he IS 2D!
Good for you and your imaginary bank account.
[04:12] Pink
But I...
[04:15] Pink
want to accomplish something
with the Anime Club.
[04:19] Pink
I want to show them something
that the Anime Club has done.
[04:23] Friendly Yellow
I appreciate your sentiment, Minoa.
[04:33] Pink
This is the power of real money.
[04:36] But he IS 2D!
So you really were a bourgeoisie.
[04:39] Puke Green
I'm on board.
[04:40] Puke Green
Making our own anime sounds exciting.
[04:44] Pink
Erika-senpai!
[04:47] Ally Green
All right, fine.
[04:49] Ally Green
However... we aren't using this money.
[04:53] Friendly Yellow
How are we going to make one, then?
[04:56] Ally Green
There are plenty of things we can do,
like asking other clubs for help.
[05:00] Ally Green
We have three months until
the school festival.
[05:02] Ally Green
Let's make an anime with our own hands.
[05:06] Pink
Okay.
SIGN Anime Club Original Anime Project Meeting!
[05:14] Ally Green
First, we need a project idea.

[05:43] Ally Green
I came up with a magic girl anime.
[05:45] Ally Green
Girls love transformation
and magic, after all.
[05:49] Ally Green
Even PreFae is getting into magic this year.
[05:53] Pink
I came up with something from
the anime I saw as a kid.
[05:57] Pink
The protagonist, separated from their parents,
[06:00] Pink
uses magic, transforms, pilots robots,
[06:03] Pink
and after a lot of suffering,
is reunited with their mother.
[06:07] Pink
In the last episode,
they're greeted to heaven,
[06:09] Pink
and the audience is moved to tears, too.

[06:58] Ally Green
Yours sounds the most unrealistic.
[07:01] Pink
That was amazing.
[07:03] Pink
Who made that?
[07:05] Friendly Yellow
Sebas did the script, storyboards, key art,
backgrounds, photography, editing,
[07:09] Friendly Yellow
all by himself, all in one night.
[07:10] Poor Guy
Why don't we just let Sebas do everything?
[07:15] Ally Green
This may all be way too much for
high schoolers to do by ourselves.
[07:21] But he IS 2D!
Oh, have you forgotten
[07:23] But he IS 2D!
about the Anime Club's most
well-read, intellectual
[07:26] But he IS 2D!
Kouenji Miko?
[07:29] But he IS 2D!
My proposal is for an alternate
world summoner story.
[07:32] Friendly Yellow
There's no way we'll be able to do all that.
[07:35] But he IS 2D!
It'll be three minutes long.
[07:38] Puke Green
I see, an anime short.
[07:40] Ally Green
Right, that's one option.
[07:42] Pink
An anime short?
[07:45] Ally Green
There are many three-minute
and five-minute long anime,
[07:48] Ally Green
since anime budgets and production
time are in short supply these days.
[07:52] Ally Green
Those are anime shorts.
[07:54] But he IS 2D!
In Yasuda and Iwakura,
[07:55] But he IS 2D!
they use the same 30-second shot in every minute-and-a-half episode,
[07:58] But he IS 2D!
while the screenwriter worked really
hard each episode to write to length.
[08:02] Puke Green
There are lighter anime, like Immun-kun,
[08:05] Puke Green
which are targeted at a broader
audience beyond just anime fans.
[08:08] Puke Green
In Malcom Gakuen, they hired a
ton of high-profile voice actors
[08:11] Puke Green
from the original games
for a really short anime,
[08:14] Puke Green
and earned a reputation for being
a complete waste of voice talent.
[08:18] Friendly Yellow
What's Up, Girl ZOO!, also known as Whagzoo
[08:20] Friendly Yellow
shows a character dying in each episode,
[08:22] Friendly Yellow
despite being an idol anime spin-off.
[08:24] Friendly Yellow
It's popular among fans of crazy anime.
[08:27] Ally Green
They stuff as much ideas and content
as they can into a limited time span.
[08:32] Ally Green
It's amazing how satisfying they are.
[08:35] But he IS 2D!
I also like how convenient it is to
watch them online with your smartphone.
[08:39] Puke Green
It's easy to get through them, too.
[08:42] Ally Green
It's settled.
[08:43] Ally Green
Mikocchi, could you start on
the screenplay right away?
[08:46] But he IS 2D!
Got it.
[08:47] But he IS 2D!
An anime short script is a piece of cake.
SIGN First Script Meeting
[08:52] Ally Green
Let's begin the script meeting.
[08:55] But he IS 2D!
It's a pleasure to work with you all.
[08:59] Friendly Yellow
The protagonist walks into a shopping
center door, and it's an alternate world?
[09:03] Friendly Yellow
Is that interesting at all?
[09:05] But he IS 2D!
The first issue in any alternate
world story is food.
[09:08] Puke Green
Who even cares?
SIGN Fourth Script Meeting
[09:13] Pink
I definitely want a moving scene.
SIGN Eighth Script Meeting
[09:19] Ally Green
We'll need a transformation scene.
SIGN Thirteenth Script Meeting
[09:23] Poor Guy
About this scene...
[09:24] Poor Guy
I came up with a concept for a way
more spectacular special ability.
[09:27] Poor Guy
I wrote alternate dialogue, too.
SIGN 28th Script Meeting
[09:32] Puke Green
It's missing a mid-story climax.
[09:34] Puke Green
Let's have a concert scene.
SIGN 45th Script Meeting
[09:40] Pink
Where do the commercials go?
[09:42] Friendly Yellow
For an anime short?
[09:44] Ally Green
I think it would be funny.

Like, bam, like in the middle of the story.

[10:01] Pink
Lunch break's going to end soon.
[10:04] Puke Green
We're kind of stuck.
[10:06] Poor Guy
We underestimated anime shorts.
[10:09] Friendly Yellow
It's actually pretty hard making
a short show interesting.
[10:15] Ally Green
Hey, Mikocchi, we still haven't come up
with any ideas after all this discussion.
[10:19] Ally Green
I don't think it's a problem with the
dialogue or anything minor like that.
[10:24] Ally Green
Why don't we go back to the drawing board?
[10:27] But he IS 2D!
The drawing board?
[10:31] Ally Green
Think it over from the top.
[10:35] Ally Green
The first one was the best.
[10:38] Ally Green
Let's change it back. Have
it done by after school today.
[10:42] But he IS 2D!
I'm sick of you ordering me around.
[10:45] But he IS 2D!
Do you have any idea how much work it
is to write from scratch, you jerk?!
[10:50] But he IS 2D!
I don't care, figure it out yourselves!
[10:53] Poor Guy
The scriptwriter's down.
[10:55] Puke Green
Anime production problems.
[10:58] But he IS 2D!
Don't stop me, let me sleep!
[11:03] But he IS 2D!
No, I'm sleeping!
[11:04] But he IS 2D!
Now!
[11:05] But he IS 2D!
Here!
[11:07] Pink
Ow...
[11:24] Friendly Yellow
They're image boards for anime.
[11:30] Pink
"Don't... open... it"?
[11:34] Pink
I'm... sor... ry.
[11:36] Puke Green
It looks like something that the
old Anime Club members drew.
[11:40] Poor Guy
The concept is a complete mess.
[11:42] Friendly Yellow
But they have everything we like.
[11:48] Pink
This is...
[11:50] Pink
A lot like the anime I saw a long time ago.
[11:53] Pink
That anime I saw as a kid was a complete
mess, too, but it was really interesting.
[11:58] Friendly Yellow
Oh, the one you were talking about.
[12:00] Pink
I think it'll be fun if we each made our
own characters and have our own voice.
[12:04] Pink
Let's do this.
[12:06] Ally Green
I see.
[12:07] Ally Green
Can you do the script, Mikocchi?
[12:09] But he IS 2D!
Nope.
[12:11] Ally Green
Come on, chan-Miko!
[12:14] Ally Green
You're the only one who can write.
[12:17] Ally Green
You read a ton, you write fast,
[12:20] Ally Green
and you always put up with all our revisions.
[12:26] Poor Guy
She's a producer.
[12:28] Friendly Yellow
She's a producer.
[12:30] Ally Green
Okay, so I'm the producer.
[12:33] Ally Green
Why don't we decide on everyone's roles?
[12:35] Friendly Yellow
I'll be the character designer.
[12:38] Poor Guy
I can do all the digital production.
[12:41] Puke Green
I'll do the audio work.
[12:43] Ally Green
I guess Gomon-sensei can be
the production assistant.
[12:48] Pink
U-Uh, what about me?
[12:51] Ally Green
There's something only you can do, Minoacchi.
[12:53] Pink
Oh, right, like taking out the trash.
[12:57] Ally Green
You're the director.
[12:58] Pink
D-Director?
[13:00] Ally Green
You're the one who came up with the idea.
[13:03] Ally Green
Write up the story with Mikocchi, and once
you have a script, draw the storyboards.

What's a storyboard?
SIGN Final

[13:24] Ally Green
Good work.

Uh, what do I do?
[13:28] Pink
A storyboard?
[13:29] Puke Green
A storyboard is an anime's blueprint.
[13:32] Puke Green
You take the script, and draw up the specifics
[13:34] Puke Green
on things like settings, atmosphere,
and character actions.
[13:37] Puke Green
You should take a look at other anime.

looking for storyboard references.

anything I can help with.

Velar nasals?

[20:01] Friendly Yellow
Do you want me to redo everything?
[20:03] Pink
Sorry, please, thank you, Arisu-chan.
[20:09] Pink
Just a little more.
[20:12] Enemy Green
President, this is bad!
[20:14] Enemey Yellow
The Anime Club's anime is nearing completion.
[20:18] Darth Purple
I see.
[20:20] Darth Purple
Inform all clubs to cease
cooperation with the Anime Club.
[20:24] Darth Purple
Should they resist,
their clubs will be shut down.
[20:27] Enemey Yellow
That's taking it too—
[20:28] Darth Purple
I'm ordering you, as the
student council president.
[20:32] Darth Purple
Inform them immediately.
[20:34] Enemey Yellow
O-Okay.
[20:36] Darth Purple
Oh, one more thing.
[20:43] Pink
It looks good.
[20:44] Poor Guy
Three more days until the school festival.
[20:46] Poor Guy
I think we can make it!
[20:48] Friendly Yellow
This is bad!
[20:50] Friendly Yellow
Gomon-sensei...
[20:51] Pink
What about Gomon-sensei?
SIGN Please don't look for me.
[20:55] Poor Guy
The production assistant escapes?!
[20:58] Puke Green
It's one of those things.
[21:00] Ally Green
The concert band refuses
to do the ending song.
[21:03] But he IS 2D!
The broadcasting club says they can't lend
us the studio to record the remaining lines.
[21:06] Pink
What happened all of a sudden?
[21:11] Darth Purple
I have a message for the Anime Club.
[21:13] Darth Purple
We've prepared a special place for you.
[21:19] Darth Purple
It's a special stage at the track field.
SIGN B. Seating Area
[21:21] Darth Purple
If you can't fill this up, we'll
deem your presentation a failure.
SIGN A. Special Stage
SIGN Sakaneko Academy Festival Venue
[21:29] Ally Green
Tsubaki, why?
[21:32] Darth Purple
I look forward to an amazing performance.
[21:45] Friendly Yellow
There's no way the anime screening
can fill the seats by itself.
[21:50] Pink
I think we might be out of options...
[23:24] >3
I wish I had some lines.
[23:26] >3
All I say is "meow."
[23:29] >3
Of course, I gave it all I had.
[23:31] >3
Next episode, calamity
befalls the Anime Club.
[23:34] >3
We're literally five seconds
to dropping the anime.
[23:37] >3
Just please, don't deliver
the show on the day-of.
