[00:28] Atsushi
    Jinta-kun! So, how about today?
[00:34] Jinta
    Nope.
[00:35] Atsushi
    Gotcha. Well, I'm off to work!
[00:45] Jinta
    Why doesn't Dad yell at me...?
[00:49] Jinta
    But I guess that's good, right?
[00:53] Jinta
    No...I'd feel better if he did.
[00:56] Menma
    What are you doing, Jintan!?
[00:58] Menma
    You have to go to school
    to tell Anaru thank you!
[01:02] Jinta
    Kh—! Knock it off!
[01:07] Anaru
    Come to school...
[01:11] Jinta
    You heard that...?
[01:14] Menma
    She helped you catch the Nokémon!
[01:17] Menma
    And breaking promises is bad.
[01:20] Menma
    Oh, I know!
[01:22] Menma
    Maybe this is my wish—
    For you to go to school!
[01:30] Jinta
    So that's it...
[01:40] Menma
    J-Jinta—eurg!
[01:43] Jinta
    Get out. I gotta change.
[01:51] Jinta
    This summer beast came out of nowhere,
    making all these crazy demands.
[01:57] Jinta
    My hallucination.
[01:59] Menma
    But you know...I think I probably
    want my wish to be granted!
[02:05] Jinta
    The calendar says fall is here, but my
    summer beast is still hanging around...
[02:12] Jinta
    So, after all her pushing and prodding...
    I reluctantly decide...
[02:23] Jinta
    to go to school.
[02:32] [SONG] ---
    nanpehji mo tsuiyashite
    tsuzurareta bokura no kibun
[02:32] ---
    All our feelings that we've written
    lie across so many pages.
[02:39] [SONG] ---
    doushiteka ichigyou no
    kuuhaku wo umerarenai
[02:39] ---
    Still, for some reason that's lost to me,
    there's an empty line that I can't fill in.
[02:46] [SONG] ---
    oshibana no shiori hasande
    kimi to korogasu tsukaisute no jitensha
[02:46] ---
    I mark it with a pressed flower bookmark,
    and ride on a throwaway bicycle with you.
[02:55] [SONG] ---
    wasurekake no renga wo
    tsumiageta basho ni yukou
[02:55] ---
    Let's go to the place we know, with all those
    bricks, nearly forgot, stacked so high.
[03:03] [SONG] ---
    umi wo miwatasu saka wo kakenobotte
[03:03] ---
    And then we can climb the
    hill that overlooks the sea.
[03:08] [SONG] ---
    kowaikurai ni aoi sora to
[03:08] ---
    Under a sky so blue it's almost scary,
[03:12] [SONG] ---
    migite ni saidaa hidarite wa
    zutto kimi wo sagashiteiru
[03:12] ---
    my right hand holds cider, my left
    hand extends, searching for you.
[03:20] [SONG] ---
    souyatte ima wa boku no hou e
    toitsumeru koto mo nakute
[03:20] ---
    Just like that, the now that lives all around
    us never comes to me asking questions.
[03:27] [SONG] ---
    mada futari wa sugusoko ni irunoni
[03:27] ---
    The two of us are standing
    right here, still together.
[03:34] [SONG] ---
    douka mata aemasuyouni nante
[03:34] ---
    But then, to say, "I hope we meet again..."
[03:42] [SONG] ---
    douka shiteru mitai
[03:42] ---
    Something must be wrong with me.
[04:04] Jinta
    So hot...
[04:15] Jinta
    Cicadas.
[04:17] Jinta
    Cicadas. People. Cicadas. Sweat. Sweat.
[04:24] Jinta
    Sweat. Sweat. Sun. Sweat.
[04:29] Jinta
    People. People. Glances.
[04:35] Jinta
    I feel sick...
[04:42] Jinta
    I can't...
[04:54] Anaru
    You decided to come...?
[04:57] Jinta
    - Um...I guess.
    - Cool.
[05:00] Jinta
    I-It's not 'cause you told
    me to or anything...!
[05:05] Anaru
    Okay.
[05:07] Aki
    - Huh?
    - Is that really Yadomi?
[05:10] Aki
    So you came to school, huh? Good job!
[05:13] Anaru
    Aki! Haruna!
[05:14] Haruna
    Morning, Naruko. And Yadomi...
[05:17] Haruna
    Don't worry. Nobody cares that you missed
    one little trimester of school.
[05:21] Haruna
    I mean, nobody cares about
    you in the first place, so...
[05:24] Aki
    Oh, don't say that, Haruna!
[05:26] Anaru
    Hey, knock it off—
[05:27] Haruna
    Isn't the power of love just amazing?
    And all because you went over to his house.
[05:33] Aki
    Ohh, they must be getting hot and heavy!
[05:36] Anaru
    Not cool, you two! Cut it out!
[05:40] Jinta
    Getting hot, huh...? Yeah, maybe.
[05:46] Jinta
    The heat must really be getting to me.
[05:49] Jinta
    Why else would I come to a zoo like
    this filled with idiots like these?
[05:53] Anaru
    Jin—Yadomi!?
[05:55] Haruna
    Huh? Going home already?
[05:57] Aki
    So was that like, his parting
    shot or whatever?
[06:01] Haruna
    Really? That was it?
[06:10] Menma
    Being home all alone is sooo boring!
[06:16] Menma
    Don't mind me...
[06:20] Menma
    Time for an adventure through
    Jintan's house! Let's see...
[06:23] Menma
    Over here is...
[06:31] Menma
    That's right... Jintan's mom died.
[06:38] Menma
    This picture doesn't really
    show how pretty you were.
[06:42] Menma
    I didn't like the picture
    of me they used, either.
[06:46] Menma
    But I guess since I always made
    a peace sign in my pictures,
[06:50] Menma
    they probably couldn't find many
    normal pictures of me.
[06:58] Menma
    I'm dead too, but for right now
    I'm doing pretty good!
[07:05] Menma
    Huh?
[07:08] Menma
    I'm crying again... Jintan's probably
    gonna yell at me like before.
[07:22] Jinta
    This is stupid.
[07:24] Jinta
    Why should I care about the
    promise I made to Anaru?
[07:28] Jinta
    Menma's just a hallucination—my own
    mind telling me to go to school.
[07:33] Jinta
    I think somewhere inside me...
[07:37] Jinta
    I'm goin' home.
[07:38] Menma
    What are you doing, Jintan!?
    You have to go to school...
[07:49] Jinta
    I...can't go home.
[07:56] Poppo
    Ventla, ventla, space people...
[07:58] Poppo
    Ventla, ventla, space people!
    Ventla, ventla, space people!
[08:02] Poppo
    Ventla, ventla, space peo—
[08:04] Jintan
    What the hell are you doing?
[08:08] Poppo
    Partner!
[08:09] Jinta
    P-Partner...?
[08:11] Poppo
    I saw her, too!
[08:12] Jinta
    Saw her? Saw who?
[08:14] Poppo
    Come on. Menma, duh!
[08:17] Poppo
    - Damn, I'm getting strong, too!
    - *How could he see * my hallucination...?
[08:22] Poppo
    I think it must have been
    my miraculous timing!
[08:26] Poppo
    I made the most beautiful arc with my pee.
[08:29] Poppo
    And then there was a delta change. Delta!
[08:33] Jinta
    Maybe you were just seeing things...
[08:36] Poppo
    Huh? Nah, not a chance. I've got the eyes
    of an eagle! Menma was all grown up.
[08:43] Jinta
    G-Grown up...?
[08:45] Poppo
    Yup! And she was beautiful.
[08:47] Jinta
    Wh-What was she wearing?
[08:50] Poppo
    That same dress she always
    wore in the summer.
[08:54] Poppo
    Menma came back so she could
    have her wish granted, right?
[08:59] Poppo
    So I hafta think about this
    as hard as I can, Jintan!
[09:03] Jinta
    I gotta go.
[09:05] Jinta
    It's my turn to make dinner. See ya.
[09:08] Poppo
    Wh—? Dinner? But it's
    not even lunchtime yet...
[09:11] Poppo
    Oh! Are you making curry? An eight-hour
    curry stew!? I want some!
[09:16] Poppo
    Hey, Jintan! I—
[09:19] Poppo
    Huh...?
[09:24] Jinta
    A grown-up Menma...
[09:38] Menma
    Welcome home!
[09:39] Jinta
    Uh...I'm home. Wait, no! You—
[09:42] Menma
    You're home early, aren't you?
[09:44] Jinta
    Huh? Oh. Umm...today was just
    the commencement ceremony.
[09:50] Jinta
    So we got out early...
[09:54] Menma
    Oh yeah!
[09:57] Jinta
    You... What did you do?
[09:59] Menma
    Home economics!
[10:01] Jinta
    Jeez...look at this mess—
[10:06] Jinta
    Those are...
[10:09] Jinta
    I'm starving! Come on!
[10:13] Poppo
    Wait up!
[10:17] Anaru
    Stop pushing, Poppo!
[10:18] Jinta
    Mom! Did you make 'em!?
[10:22] Touko
    I sure did.
[10:27] Touko
    Jinta...you came to see me?
[10:36] Atsushi
    Go on.
[10:43] Jinta
    Mom...
[10:46] Jinta
    Everyone...wants more of
    your steamed bread.
[10:51] Touko
    Sorry...
[10:54] Atsushi
    Jinta-kun! Hey, come back here!
[10:59] Menma
    Jintan? Jintan...
[11:04] Menma
    Jintan!
[11:06] Menma
    Let's try 'em!
[11:07] Jinta
    Oh...sure.
[11:09] Menma
    Let's see how I did!
[11:17] Menma
    Hrmm...the ones your mom
    made were way better.
[11:22] Menma
    Maybe if I'd had some raisins...
[11:25] Menma
    I'll keep trying more and more to
    make it better and better, okay?
[11:30] Jinta
    Keep trying...? You mean you're
    planning to stay here longer?
[11:33] Menma
    Can't I?
[11:34] Jinta
    I-I didn't mean it like that. It's just...
[11:37] Jinta
    Oh! Hey, did you go over to Poppo's place?
[11:41] Menma
    Huh? What do you mean?
    I've been here the whole time.
[11:45] Jinta
    Oh... But he told me he saw you.
[11:48] Menma
    Whoa! Maybe it was my ghost!
[11:50] Jinta
    Then what would that make you?
[11:52] Menma
    I'm Honma Meiko!
[11:54] Jinta
    This is dumb...
[12:01] Jinta
    Whatever it is...it doesn't really matter.
[12:06] Jinta
    Forget it.
[12:11] Jinta
    There's egg shells in here...
[12:13] Menma
    Huh? Oh, umm...calcium?
[12:24] Tsuruko
    Having trouble deciding? I do
    have other plans, you know.
[12:29] Yukiatsu
    Sorry. Just a little longer...
[12:35] Tsuruko
    What is it?
[12:36] Yukiatsu
    It's Hisakawa.
[12:37] Tsuruko
    Hisakawa? You mean Poppo?
[12:40] Tsuruko
    I didn't know you had his contact info.
[12:43] Tsuruko
    Menma...found?
[12:45] Worker
    - Is this a gift?
    - Yes.
[12:48] Worker
    You're a very lucky young lady!
[12:52] Worker
    Umm...yes, well...we have plenty of items to
    choose from, so feel free to look around.
[12:58] Tsuruko
    You always make me come
    shopping with you...
[13:01] Tsuruko
    But who exactly are you
    spending all this money on?
[13:05] Yukiatsu
    I'm not telling.
SIGN    Episode 3: Menma Search Party
[13:16] Jinta
    Okay, okay, I hear you!
[13:18] Poppo
    Here's your newspaper!
[13:19] Jinta
    We don't get the Sankei paper...
[13:21] Poppo
    That's okay. Here ya go!
[13:24] Jinta
    Huh? What's this?
[13:25] Jinta
    "End of Summer Menma Search Party"?
SIGN    "Let's say goodbye to summer with a barbecue, and figure out Menma's wish with everyone!"
[13:30] Jinta
    Menma, goodbye to summer, barbecue...
    I have no idea what I'm looking at here.
[13:35] Poppo
    That's fine! All you need to know is you have
    to come no matter what, okay? Later!
[13:39] Jinta
    No matter—hey!
[13:43] Jinta
    "Everyone" must mean...
[13:46] Menma
    Ahh, this is gonna be so much fun!
    I wanna look for Menma, too!
[13:50] Menma
    What should we take to the party?
[13:52] Jinta
    Who said I was going!?
[13:54] Menma
    Say you'll go!
[13:56] Menma
    Oh, maybe this is the wish I
    wanted to have granted...!
[14:00] Menma
    Maybe I wished to see my ghost!
[14:04] Jinta
    You're really taking full advantage
    of this wish thing, aren't you?
[14:30] Haruna
    Hey, Naruko! Let's hit up some
    karaoke on the way home.
[14:38] Anaru
    Sorry, think I'll pass this time.
[14:42] Menma
    Hey...so all you're bringing to the
    barbecue is those little sausages?
[14:46] Jinta
    This was the only thing I saw in the fridge
    that you could actually barbecue...
[14:50] Jinta
    I'm sure someone else'll bring something.
[14:53] Menma
    And we have my steamed bread!
[14:55] Jinta
    Well...
[15:02] Menma
    Anaruuu!
[15:05] Menma
    Jintan, look! It's Anaru!
    C'mon, let's go meet up with her!
[15:11] Menma
    Wait, Jintan! Hold on!
[15:16] Menma
    Stop, Jintan! What's the matter with you!?
[15:20] Jinta
    I forgot I had other plans!
[15:22] ---
    Jin...tan!
[15:33] Anaru
    Yadomi...
[15:35] Anaru
    What was that just now?
[15:41] Jinta
    Nothing. Later...
[15:43] Menma
    Hey, stop! Bad Jintan!
    Friends have to stick together!
[15:48] Anaru
    That looked like way more than "nothing."
[15:51] Anaru
    We're going to the same place anyway...
[15:54] Tsuruko
    - Hi, everyone.
    - Yo!
[15:56] Menma
    Tsuruko!
[15:58] Menma
    - Your ponytail's so cute!
    - Poppo! You invited Tsuruk—Tsurumi-san?
[16:01] Poppo
    Didn't you read the paper?
[16:03] Poppo
    When I said "everyone," I meant everyone!
[16:06] Tsuruko
    - What's this?
    - Masala chai.
[16:08] Jinta
    I know you said everyone, but I
    doubt Yukiatsu's gonna show.
[16:12] Jinta
    He would never believe something like this.
[16:15] Tsuruko
    He'll be here.
[16:21] Poppo
    Jinta, lift your side up a little more.
[16:23] Jinta
    G-Got it...
[16:24] Menma
    - You can do it, Jintan!
    - There!
[16:27] Poppo
    Pretty nice grill, right?
[16:28] Poppo
    A guy from work let me borrow it.
[16:31] Jinta
    So what are we grilling?
    I brought some sausages.
[16:35] Tsuruko
    I just brought candles...
[16:38] Tsuruko
    We want to summon Menma, right? I figured
    we should have some ghost story props.
[16:43] Menma
    Ghost story?
[16:43] Poppo
    Ah, yeah...thanks. So anyway,
    how about that barbecue?
[16:48] Tsuruko
    Oh, I don't eat much at night. So you
    don't have to worry about me.
[16:52] Poppo
    Look at that! Tsuruko's only
    thinking about herself.
[16:56] Poppo
    Selfish girls like that really
    turn my crank, man!
[16:59] Jinta
    Dumbass.
[17:00] Anaru
    Umm...I kinda figured everyone
    else was gonna bring food...
[17:06] Anaru
    And I didn't wanna bring doubles, so...
[17:09] Jinta
    Fireworks?
[17:10] Tsuruko
    We're not kids, you know.
[17:12] Anaru
    - What—!?
    - Hey hey hey, chill!
[17:15] Poppo
    Check out what I cooked up!
[17:17] Anaru
    Wh-What is it...?
[17:19] Poppo
    It's called keel.
[17:21] Poppo
    I had it while I was in India!
    It's sweetened rice cooked with milk.
[17:24] Menma
    Wow...looks like barf!
[17:28] Tsuruko
    Whatever it is, it's clearly not barbecue.
[17:31] Poppo
    Fine, wanna try using it to
    make some okonomiyaki?
[17:35] Anaru
    Just get the sausages out...
[17:40] Poppo
    Yes, finally! Raging flames are a must!
[17:44] Jinta
    So we're still able to get together,
    even after all these years...
[17:50] Anaru
    How do I make a crab again...?
[17:51] Menma
    Crab!?
[17:53] Menma
    You can make a crab!?
[17:54] Menma
    - Just like these coals...
    - Make one!
[17:56] Poppo
    They came from trees, right?
[17:59] Poppo
    And they don't light up so easily at first,
    but once they do, they burn bright.
[18:05] Jinta
    That's a terrible metaphor...
[18:07] Poppo
    Damn, really...?
[18:15] Anaru
    N-Need some help?
[18:18] Tsuruko
    I'm fine. Go enjoy the barbecue.
[18:21] Anaru
    All we have is sausages.
    I did get them ready, but...
[18:27] Menma
    Crab?
[18:29] Tsuruko
    A white dress...
[18:33] Anaru
    Yeah...like what Menma
    always used to wear.
[18:37] Anaru
    It's just like you said, you know...
    I always let people affect me.
[18:42] Anaru
    Back then...and even now.
    I haven't changed at all.
[18:46] Anaru
    But still...this dress is sorta like
    Menma's, but hers wasn't this short.
[18:50] Anaru
    And my friends might wear it
    this short, but, you know...
[18:54] Anaru
    They'd probably never wear white. So I...
[18:57] Anaru
    I do have some free will.
[19:00] Anaru
    I do let things affect me, but I can
    think and act on my own, too...
[19:07] Tsuruko
    What's the point of you telling me this?
[19:12] Tsuruko
    Should I tell you good job?
    Say that I'm proud of you?
[19:17] Anaru
    No.
[19:20] Anaru
    I think...
[19:21] Anaru
    I wanted you to yell at me...
[19:25] Anaru
    for letting others influence me.
[19:31] Menma
    Look, Jintan! There's crabs!
[19:33] Menma
    And octopuses, too!
[19:34] Poppo
    Damn this is good! The true
    taste of Germany right here!
[19:38] Tsuruko
    Without a doubt.
[19:40] Poppo
    Oh! You get what I'm saying, Tsuruko?
[19:43] Anaru
    Oh, this is actually really good!
[19:45] Jinta
    - Really?
    - Told ya!
[19:46] Anaru
    - It's very...desserty.
    - The crabs are burning!
[19:50] Tsuruko
    So anyway, about Menma's wish...
[19:53] Poppo
    Oh yeah! You're gonna help us, right?
[19:58] Tsuruko
    You really believe it?
[20:00] Anaru
    I-I, um...
[20:04] Menma
    Poor crabs...
[20:06] Anaru
    I...I think I can believe.
[20:11] Tsuruko
    Fine. Then I do, too.
[20:14] Poppo
    Nice! So you're joining in,
    huh? You rock, Tsuruko!
[20:18] Menma
    Hey Jintan, The Super Peace Busters are—
[20:20] Poppo
    The Super Peace Busters
    are still number one!
[20:23] Anaru
    Super Peace...?
[20:25] Tsuruko
    It's been a long time
    since I heard that name.
[20:28] Anaru
    Wow...yeah, it's been a while, huh?
[20:30] Poppo
    No slacking off! We're still on active duty!
[20:33] Jinta
    Stop crying...
[20:36] Menma
    I-I'm not crying!
[20:39] Menma
    I'm not crying...
[20:40] Poppo
    If we keep this up, Menma might decide
    to swing by, just like the good ol' days!
[20:48] Yukiatsu
    What? Real nice way to greet a guy.
[20:52] Menma
    - Yukiatsu!
    - Long time no see.
[20:54] Poppo
    If it isn't Yukiatsu!
[20:56] Poppo
    - Anjo, right?
    - Took ya long enough!
[20:58] Anaru
    That's right. Been a while.
[21:00] Yukiatsu
    I brought ribs, and some vegetables.
[21:03] Yukiatsu
    I also have herb salt and olive oil.
[21:05] Poppo
    - All right! You rock, Yukiatsu!
    - I knew you'd come.
[21:08] Poppo
    Leagues ahead of these useless women!
[21:10] Anaru
    Come again!?
[21:11] Poppo
    But man, you almost gave me a heart attack!
    I thought maybe you were Menma—
[21:16] Yukiatsu
    I was with Menma. Earlier.
[21:18] Anaru
    - No way!
    - Are you serious!?
[21:21] Poppo
    Where was she? Where were you!?
[21:23] Yukiatsu
    Over there, by the marsh.
[21:24] Poppo
    All right! Jintan, let's move!
[21:27] Menma
    Gooo!
[21:28] Jinta
    H-Hey!
[21:29] Anaru
    W-Wait for us!
[21:32] Jinta
    You guys...
[21:34] Yukiatsu
    Guess you aren't the only one.
[21:36] Jinta
    Huh? What do you mean?
[21:39] Yukiatsu
    The only one who can see Menma...
[21:45] [SONG] ---
    deai wa futtoshita shunkan
    kaerimichi no kousaten de
[21:45] ---
    We first met at that moment, at an
    intersection on my way home.
[21:52] [SONG] ---
    koe wo kaketekuretane issho ni kaerou
[21:52] ---
    You looked at me and said,
    "We should walk home together."
[21:59] [SONG] ---
    ureshikutte tanoshikutte
    bouken mo iroiro shitane
[21:59] ---
    You gave me happiness, and excitement too.
    We went on many, many adventures...
[22:06] [SONG] ---
    futari no himitsu no kichi no naka
[22:06] ---
    In the secret base that belonged
    just to you and me.
[22:13] [SONG] ---
    kimi to natsu no owari shourai no yume
[22:13] ---
    And I will not forget the summer
    days we spent together,
[22:17] [SONG] ---
    ohkina kibou wasurenai
[22:17] ---
    sharing all the dreams
    and hopes in our lives.
[22:20] [SONG] ---
    juunengo no hachigatsu mata
    deaeruno wo shinjite
[22:20] ---
    And in another August ten years from now,
    I trust I'll get to see you one more time.
[22:28] [SONG] ---
    kimi ga saigomade kokoro kara
[22:28] ---
    And till the very, very end
    I was sure, I knew
[22:31] [SONG] ---
    arigatou sakendetakoto shittetayo
[22:31] ---
    that you were crying out "thank you"
    from the bottom of your heart.
[22:35] [SONG] ---
    namida wo koraete egao
    de sayonara setsunai yone
[22:35] ---
    So now we're smiling and holding back tears;
    it's just too sad to have to say goodbye.
[22:42] [SONG] ---
    saikou no omoide wo
[22:42] ---
    To our memories...our fondest memories.
