[00:08] [SONG] ---
    nanpehji mo tsuiyashite
    tsuzurareta bokura no kibun
[00:08] ---
    All our feelings that we've written
    lie across so many pages.
[00:15] [SONG] ---
    doushiteka ichigyou no
    kuuhaku wo umerarenai
[00:15] ---
    Still, for some reason that's lost to me,
    there's an empty line that I can't fill in.
[00:22] [SONG] ---
    oshibana no shiori hasande
    kimi to korogasu tsukaisute no jitensha
[00:22] ---
    I mark it with a pressed flower bookmark,
    and ride on a throwaway bicycle with you.
[00:31] [SONG] ---
    wasurekake no renga wo
    tsumiageta basho ni yukou
[00:31] ---
    Let's go to the place we know, with all those
    bricks, nearly forgot, stacked so high.
[00:39] [SONG] ---
    umi wo miwatasu saka wo kakenobotte
[00:39] ---
    And then we can climb the
    hill that overlooks the sea.
[00:44] ---
    Under a sky so blue it's almost scary,
[00:44] [SONG] ---
    kowaikurai ni aoi sora to
[00:48] [SONG] ---
    migite ni saidaa hidarite wa
    zutto kimi wo sagashiteiru
[00:48] ---
    my right hand holds cider, my left
    hand extends, searching for you.
[00:56] [SONG] ---
    souyatte ima wa boku no hou e
    toitsumeru koto mo nakute
[00:56] ---
    Just like that, the now that lives all around
    us never comes to me asking questions.
[01:03] [SONG] ---
    mada futari wa sugusoko ni irunoni
[01:03] ---
    The two of us are standing
    right here, still together.
[01:10] [SONG] ---
    douka mata aemasuyouni nante
[01:10] ---
    But then, to say, "I hope we meet again..."
[01:18] [SONG] ---
    douka shiteru mitai
[01:18] ---
    Something must be wrong with me.
[01:42] Menma
    Jintan...
[01:46] Menma
    Please, grant my wish...
[01:49] Poppo
    It's a textbook resurrection!
[01:52] Poppo
    Menma came back so she could have
    her wish granted! That's awesome!
[01:57] Jinta
    Um...no, I'm pretty sure I'm
    just hallucinating her.
[02:02] Poppo
    Hallucinating? You mean, like a fantasy?
[02:04] Poppo
    So friggin' cool! Hey, so is she here, too?
[02:08] Jinta
    Uh...not right now.
[02:09] Poppo
    Menma! It's me! Down here, maybe?
[02:13] Poppo
    Or in here!?
[02:15] Poppo
    Where ya hiding, Menma?
    C'mon, let me get a look at ya!
[02:18] Jinta
    I told him about Menma without
    really thinking about it, but...

[02:22] Jinta
    I had no idea he'd be so
    willing to just accept it...

[02:25] Poppo
    Damn, it's no use... I don't
    see her anywhere...
[02:29] Jinta
    Like I said, she's just—
[02:30] Poppo
    You really are strong, Jintan!
[02:35] Jinta
    Oh, um...nothing.
[02:38] Jinta
    So you've been using the secret base, huh?
[02:41] Poppo
    Yup! Well, only when I'm in Japan.
[02:44] Jinta
    In Japan...?
[02:45] Poppo
    Yup! The red circles represent
    all the places I've been!
[02:48] Poppo
    I want to see places all over the world.
[02:51] Poppo
    Whenever I save up enough from my
    part-time work, I go off traveling.
[02:54] Jinta
    What about school?
[02:56] Poppo
    Like I have time for that!
[02:58] Poppo
    I was just in Southeast Asia recently...
[03:01] Poppo
    And damn are those Vietnamese girls cute!
[03:04] Poppo
    You're so strong, Jintan!
[03:07] Jinta
    He used to be so small...
[03:08] Jinta
    - They go like this, and this, and this!
    - And now look at him.
[03:11] Jinta
    Still...
[03:12] Jinta
    So damn cute!
[03:13] Jinta
    - I just can't get enough!
    - He hasn't changed at all.
[03:16] Poppo
    Who, me?
[03:18] Poppo
    Oh, I've changed a ton. Wanna
    check out my jungle cruise?
[03:22] Jinta
    - I wonder what we'll find!
    - I'll pass, thanks.
[03:24] Poppo
    Aww, cruise derailed!
[03:26] Poppo
    Anyway, back to Menma's wish. Did you
    make her a promise or something?
[03:30] Jinta
    Not that I can remember...
[03:32] Poppo
    Hmm... Oh, didn't she say she wanted that
    autograph you got from that one comedian?
[03:38] Jinta
    She wouldn't resurrect herself
    just for an autograph.
[03:41] Poppo
    Hrmm... Could it be...that one thing!?
[04:05] Oldlady
    Stop it, Kurimaru! What's
    the matter with you?
[04:08] Oldlady
    Behave yourself, and I'll give you
    some yogurt when we get home.
[04:13] Menma
    Home...
[04:21] Haruna
    Ewww, Naruko! Did you really
    go over to Yadomi's place?
[04:25] Anaru
    Uhh...well, yeah.
[04:28] Aki
    Sucks that you gotta deal with
    a total shut-in like that.
[04:32] Anaru
    B-But...don't you get like that sometimes?
[04:37] Anaru
    Like, you wake up and you don't
    feel like doing anything...
[04:41] Anaru
    I know I do... It just happens sometimes.
[04:45] Haruna
    Yeah, maybe. But I'd hate it if people
    saw me the same as him.
[04:49] Aki
    I bet he's totally thinking all kinds
    of gross stuff about you right now.
[04:54] Haruna
    Oh yeah, for sure!
[04:56] Aki
    Ewwww!
[05:05] Haruna
    What's her problem?
[05:06] Aki
    She goes to King College High.
    Hate those skanks!
[05:09] Anaru
    Tsuruko?
[05:13] Haruna
    What's up?
[05:14] Anaru
    Uh...one sec.
[05:16] Storeworker
    Thank you for coming.
[05:21] Anaru
    Tsuru—! Tsurumi-san!
[05:25] Anaru
    Wait! You forgot something!
[05:33] Anaru
    Umm...
[05:36] Tsuruko
    Feel free to ignore me when
    you're with your friends.
[05:40] Tsuruko
    I'd rather not be seen talking
    to someone from Midori High.
[05:44] Anaru
    Wh—! What's that supposed to mean!? Hey!
[05:50] Anaru
    I was nice enough to bring you your stuff!
[05:52] Tsuruko
    Who asked you to?
[05:55] Anaru
    - No, no, stop! Anaru, Tsuruko!
    - When did you start acting all superior?
[05:58] Anaru
    - No fighting, you two!
    - You used be so timid...
[06:01] Tsuruko
    You haven't changed at all.
[06:03] Tsuruko
    You always let the people around
    you change who you are.
[06:08] Tsuruko
    You're just like those girls, who look like
    they'd spread their legs at a glance.
[06:10] Menma
    Legs?
[06:11] Tsuruko
    Back then, you would always just
    copy whatever Honma Meiko did.
[06:16] Anaru
    H-How can you say a dead girl's
    name so casually like that!?
[06:23] Menma
    Anaru...
[06:26] Tsuruko
    Getting so upset over something
    you brought up yourself...
[06:29] Tsuruko
    How hopeless you are. You...
[06:33] Tsuruko
    and Yukiatsu, too.
[06:37] Tsuruko
    Bye, then.
[06:39] Menma
    Tsuruko!
[06:46] Anaru
    Menma...
[06:49] Anaru
    I always did want to be like Menma...
[06:55] Anaru
    And that day...
[06:56] Anaru
    Hey, Jintan...umm...
[07:01] Anaru
    Do you...like...Menma?
[07:05] Anaru
    If I hadn't said something so...
[07:09] Jinta
    Who...who would like an ugly girl like—
[07:25] Menma
    Jintan, wait!
[07:27] Menma
    Jintan!
[07:30] Anaru
    And then...it happened.
[07:47] Anaru
    Oh, crap!
[07:52] Menma
    Anaru...
[08:00] Menma
    When you hear the frogs groan,
    it's time to go home.
[08:07] Menma
    When you hear the frogs...
[08:13] Menma
    Where...? Where do I go home to?
[08:23] Owner
    Can I help you find something?
[08:27] Jinta
    Uhh...umm...
[08:32] Anaru
    Sorry I'm late!
[08:38] Jinta
    H-Hey.
[08:40] Anaru
    Seriously? Nokémon?
[08:42] Jinta
    You shouldn't judge your customers...
[08:46] Anaru
    So which Nokémon would
    you like, sir? Opal? Emerald?
[08:51] Jinta
    Gold.
[08:53] Anaru
    Nokémon Gold? How long ago
    did that even come out?
[08:59] Jinta
    Anyway, if you have it, just sell it to me.
    I mean c'mon, just let me buy it already!
[09:03] Jinta
    Huh? A rare Nokémon?
[09:05] Poppo
    Yup! Menma really wanted one, but we
    were never able to track it down.
[09:10] Jinta
    Now that you mention it, she did say
    something about a Lickachu...
[09:13] Poppo
    Then that must be it!
[09:16] Anaru
    That'll be ¥4,571.
[09:19] Jinta
    Don't you think it's kind of a ripoff to charge
    full price for a five-year-old game?
[09:22] Anaru
    For your information, it's perfectly fair.
[09:26] Anaru
    It's really rare now, so people'll
    pay a premium for it.
[09:31] Jinta
    Thanks...
[09:34] Jinta
    Wh-What're you doing?
[09:37] Anaru
    Yadomi...
[09:42] Anaru
    Forget it! Have a nice day!
[09:54] Atsushi
    Oh, welcome back, Jinta-kun!
[09:57] Jinta
    Thanks.
[09:58] Atsushi
    I got some darling plates from work today,
    so it's BBQ for dinner tonight! ...Huh?
[10:04] Jinta
    Sorry, not hungry!
[10:06] Atsushi
    What!? Come on, that's not cute at all!
[10:10] Jinta
    Okay, how's this work...? I pick
    one of these three, and then...
[10:23] Jinta
    Menma's not back yet...
[10:26] Jinta
    The manifestation of my
    stress—my hallucination.

[10:31] Jinta
    She doesn't even really
    exist, anyway. But still...

[10:37] Jinta
    Still...
[11:12] Menma
    Thank you...
[11:15] Menma
    Jintan...
SIGN    Episode 2: The Hero Menma
[11:26] Menma
    Yukiatsu!
[11:29] Yukiatsu
    Menma...
[11:34] Poppo
    Yo, Yukiatsu!
[11:36] Yukiatsu
    Po—! Hisakawa...
[11:39] Poppo
    Come on, that's not cool. Call me Poppo!
    Just like the good old days, right Yukki?
[11:45] Yukiatsu
    Nobody ever called me that.
[11:47] Poppo
    Whatever, whatever.
    By the way, Yukiatsu...
[11:50] Poppo
    Did ya hear? Menma's been
    resurrected at Jintan's place!
[11:55] Yukiatsu
    Damn him. Why now...?
[11:58] Yukiatsu
    Nothing...
[12:00] Yukiatsu
    So what did Yadomi say about her?
[12:03] Poppo
    Man, Jintan...I haven't seen him in forever,
    but he's just as strong as I remember.
[12:08] Yukiatsu
    But what did he say about Menma?
[12:13] Poppo
    Oh, umm... Hollow...? Hallucination?
[12:18] Poppo
    I didn't really follow. But basically,
    Menma has a wish she wants granted.
[12:31] Jinta
    Oh crap! I fell asl—
[12:33] Menma
    Gooood morning, Jintan!
[12:39] Jinta
    Menma...you came ba—
[12:45] Jinta
    Y-You...
[12:47] Jinta
    What made you think it was okay to take
    a bath!? My dad's still home, you know!
[12:51] Menma
    Hey, Jintan...
[12:53] Menma
    All you had was that soap that
    makes your skin all tingly.
[12:57] Menma
    I really don't like—Jintan...?
[13:00] Jinta
    You...you need to—need to realize
    that you're more mature now...
[13:06] Jinta
    Well...I guess there are parts of you
    that haven't matured that much...
[13:10] Menma
    Parts?
[13:13] Menma
    Coming!
[13:14] Jinta
    Hey! Put some clothes on first!
[13:17] Atsushi
    How can I help you?
[13:19] Atsushi
    Huh? Haven't I seen this kid
    somewhere before...?
[13:24] Poppo
    Greetings! Long time no see!
[13:26] Atsushi
    Whoa...is that you, Poppo-kun?
    Man, you're huge!
[13:30] Atsushi
    - Puberty is so cute!
    - Poppo!
[13:33] Poppo
    Yo!
[13:36] Jinta
    You have to trade with a friend?
[13:38] Poppo
    Yup. You get it by connecting two games
    with a cable and trading Nokémon.
[13:47] Poppo
    Hey, Pops! This meat is fantastic!
[13:49] Atsushi
    Oh, it's just some leftovers. Okay,
    Pops is heading off to work.
[13:54] Poppo
    Hrmphagrk—have a good time!
[13:57] Jinta
    Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that.
[14:00] Jinta
    That's right...Menma was saying how she
    needs everyone together to grant her wish.
[14:05] Poppo
    Yeah, right?
[14:07] Jinta
    Good job, Poppo. How'd you
    manage to remember that?
[14:10] Poppo
    Oh, well Yukia—
[14:12] Poppo
    Umm...a hallucination! I heard
    a, uh...hallucination.
[14:16] Jinta
    You don't hear hallucinations.
[14:18] Poppo
    Oh, really?
[14:19] Jinta
    But okay...if we can get a hold
    of another copy of Nokémon...
[14:24] Jinta
    But the only person I know
    who might have a copy is...
[14:31] Anaru
    She was so cute...
[14:40] Anaru
    Back then...
[14:41] Anaru
    I really hated my curly hair and glasses.
[14:44] Anaru
    The silky-haired Menma...
[14:47] Anaru
    The Menma that Jinta liked...
[14:51] Menma
    Anaru! Let's have matching stickers!
[14:55] Menma
    Look! Isn't he cute? Here,
    you can have one, too!
[15:03] Menma
    Here you go!
[15:04] Anaru
    Uh...thanks.
[15:08] Anaru
    I loved Menma, but I hated her, too...
[15:19] AnaruMom
    Naruko! You got a sec?
[15:25] Anaru
    Jeez...like I'm her slave or something.
[15:27] Poppo
    This way!
[15:28] Jinta
    Around here?
[15:29] Poppo
    I think so...oh!
[15:32] Poppo
    'Sup, Anaru?
[15:38] Jinta
    Why!?
[15:41] Anaru
    You can't be serious!
[15:43] Anaru
    You want me to "Nokémon"
    with you? That's stupid!
[15:46] Poppo
    It wouldn't hurt to relive some
    precious childhood memories.
[15:50] Poppo
    Right, Jintan?
[15:53] Poppo
    Where'd your glasses go?
[15:54] Anaru
    Shut up! Who cares about my glasses!?
[15:57] AnaruMom
    - Who wants tea?
    - Oh, thanks...
[16:00] AnaruMom
    Well now, it's certainly been a while
    since the two of you paid us a visit.
[16:04] AnaruMom
    Oh! You boys wanna try the Jell-O
    Naruko made last night?
[16:07] Poppo
    Woop woop! Anaru's Jell-O!
[16:09] Anaru
    Stop calling me that!
[16:11] Poppo
    Anyway, I'm sure that rare Nokémon
    is what Menma wished for.
[16:15] Jinta
    Sh-Shut up, stupid!
[16:17] Anaru
    Menma?
[16:18] Poppo
    Anaru...?
[16:19] Anaru
    Oh, uh...so, what about Menma?
[16:23] Jinta
    No, it's just that...I think she came
    to me in a dream...or something.
[16:28] Anaru
    Menma...
[16:32] Anaru
    Let's see...Nokémon should be...
[16:35] Poppo
    In here, maybe?
[16:36] Anaru
    No! That's where I keep
    my Love and Parry cards.
[16:39] Anaru
    And that's Bovine King!
[16:41] Poppo
    Oh...so you have Bovine King, huh...?
[16:43] Jinta
    How come you're standing out here?
[16:46] Menma
    'Cause...whenever I'm around, Mama
    and Anaru both get really sad...
[17:02] Jinta
    Just come sit down.
[17:06] Poppo
    Oh! It's Bobo-bo!
[17:08] Anaru
    Found it!
SIGN    Nokezori Monster
[17:12] Poppo
    But did you really have to put your
    name on something so small?
[17:15] Poppo
    You sure were meticulous.
[17:17] Anaru
    Shut it!
[17:30] Poppo
    Man, I forgot how much I love Bobo-bo!
[17:33] Anaru
    You gotta be kidding. How do
    you not have Pudgidiot?
[17:36] Jinta
    We have to trade Poisian and Gangrenegar
    to get the rare Nokémon, right?
[17:40] Anaru
    Yeah, but you can't catch Poisian in the wild.
    You have to evolve it from Pudgidiot.
[17:45] Anaru
    Here, lemme see.
[17:50] Menma
    Anaru...
[17:52] Jinta
    What's wrong?
[17:54] Menma
    Anaru really hasn't changed at all.
[17:57] Menma
    She's so nice, and she has so many games
    and comics. She's exactly the same.
[18:03] Jinta
    I guess you're right.
[18:05] Menma
    Having everyone here...it reminds me of
    how things were before. I'm so happy...

[18:27] Yukiatsu
    Menma...
[18:39] Jinta
    I got my Poisian!
[18:41] Anaru
    Way to go, Jintan!
[18:50] Jinta
    Thanks...Anjo.
[18:53] Anaru
    D-Don't mention it. It was a
    good way to kill some time.
[18:58] Anaru
    So...what do I get for helping?
[19:00] Jinta
    Gh—! You want...money?
[19:02] Anaru
    That's not what I meant!
[19:06] Anaru
    You should...come to school.
[19:15] Poppo
    Nng... How's it coming?
[19:19] Jinta
    Oh! Uhh, we're almost done.
    Just need to connect the cable...
[19:34] Jinta
    Okay, now we go to "Trade with a friend"...
[19:39] Jinta
    Anjo?
[19:41] Anaru
    Oh, yeah, just a sec...
SIGN    Transferring. Do not unplug the cable.
SIGN    Congratulations! Rare Nokémon BUDDYKING was born!
[19:52] Anaru
    We did it!
[19:53] Jinta
    All right!
[19:54] Poppo
    Nokémon...
[19:56] All
    captured!
[20:01] Menma
    Good job, Jintan!
[20:02] Jinta
    Thanks! ...Huh?
[20:10] Anaru
    What's up?
[20:12] Poppo
    Way to go, guys! Menma's gonna love this!
[20:15] Jinta
    Umm...yeah...
[20:22] Jinta
    Yeah.
[20:25] Menma
    I guess my wish must have
    been something else.
[20:27] Jinta
    Uh-huh.
[20:28] Menma
    But still, all kinds of nice things happened!
[20:31] Menma
    You got to become friends with
    Anaru and Poppo again!
[20:35] Jinta
    You're so matter-of-fact sometimes...
[20:42] Jinta
    Hey, be careful!
[20:46] Menma
    Don't worry!
[20:49] Menma
    Now Menma's got fun
    stuff all over the place!
[20:53] Jinta
    Are you for real...?
[20:55] Menma
    I'm the realest!
[20:57] Jinta
    So dumb...
[20:58] Menma
    Huh? Really?
[21:00] Jinta
    "Now Menma's got fun
    stuff all over the place"...

[21:04] Jinta
    I had fun for the first time in a while, too...
[21:06] Menma
    Huh? What'd you say?
[21:09] Jinta
    Nothing!
[21:11] Menma
    Today's so nice!
[21:13] Jinta
    My trauma...
[21:14] Menma
    - And Menma's tomorrow
    - It isn't going anywhere. But...
[21:16] Menma
    - is gonna be super fun, too!
    - If I get another tomorrow...
[21:20] Jinta
    I think...it's okay for me to
    take my time to apologize.

[21:28] [SONG] ---
    deai wa futtoshita shunkan
    kaerimichi no kousaten de
[21:28] ---
    We first met at that moment, at an
    intersection on my way home.
[21:35] [SONG] ---
    koe wo kaketekureta ne issho ni kaerou
[21:35] ---
    You looked at me and said,
    "We should walk home together."
[21:42] [SONG] ---
    aah hanabi ga yozora
    kirei ni saite chotto setsunaku
[21:42] ---
    Ahh, fireworks bloom in the sky, they grow
    lovely and full, and yet a bit sad.
[21:50] [SONG] ---
    aah kaze ga jikan to tomo ni nagareru
[21:50] ---
    Ahh, just like a summer breeze,
    our time is passing by.
[21:56] [SONG] ---
    ureshikutte tanoshikutte
    bouken mo iroiro shitane
[21:56] ---
    You gave me happiness, and excitement too.
    We went on many, many adventures...
[22:03] [SONG] ---
    futari no himitsu no kichi no naka
[22:03] ---
    In the secret base that belonged
    just to you and me.
[22:11] [SONG] ---
    kimi to natsu no owari shourai no yume
[22:11] ---
    And I will not forget the summer
    days we spent together,
[22:15] [SONG] ---
    ohkina kibou wasurenai
[22:15] ---
    sharing all the dreams
    and hopes in our lives.
[22:18] [SONG] ---
    juunengo no hachigatsu mata
    deaeruno wo shinjite
[22:18] ---
    And in another August ten years from now,
    I trust I'll get to see you one more time.
[22:25] [SONG] ---
    kimi ga saigomade kokoro kara
[22:25] ---
    And till the very, very end
    I was sure, I knew
[22:28] [SONG] ---
    arigatou sakendetakoto shittetayo
[22:28] ---
    that you were crying out "thank you"
    from the bottom of your heart.
[22:32] [SONG] ---
    namida wo koraete egao
    de sayonara setsunai yone
[22:32] ---
    So now we're smiling and holding back tears;
    it's just too sad to have to say goodbye.
[22:39] [SONG] ---
    saikou no omoide wo
[22:39] ---
    To our memories...our fondest memories.
