[00:01] Anaru
    So she got really mad.
[00:05] Anaru
    She was like a total demon!
[00:07] Anaru
    I was like, "I'm running away!" and she
    was just like, "Go ahead, I dare you!"
[00:12] Anaru
    She totally called my bluff.
[00:15] Anaru
    Yadomi?
[00:15] Jinta
    Hey...so uh—
[00:18] Anaru
    I can't sleep without it!
[00:19] Jinta
    And this towel?
[00:21] Anaru
    I need that to sleep, too!
[00:23] Jinta
    How hard is it for you to get decent sleep?
[00:26] Jinta
    Anyway, calm down and think.
[00:28] Jinta
    You can't just be running away forever.
    You have to go to school and stuff.
[00:33] Anaru
    What? You're saying that to me?
[00:35] Jinta
    Listen, Anjo. Once you stop going to school,
    it's really hard to go back on that, okay?
[00:42] Jinta
    That first step is really easy.
[00:44] Jinta
    Taking a day off...it's like nothing.
[00:47] Jinta
    But because it's so easy, you decide
    to stay home a few days in a row.
[00:51] Jinta
    And next thing you know... But I guess
    I'm not in any position to talk.
[00:58] Anaru
    I see...
[01:00] Anaru
    Yeah...I get what you mean.
[01:03] Anaru
    You're amazing, Yadomi.
    Like a shut-in professional.
[01:06] Jinta
    Dammit...
[01:07] Anaru
    Seriously, Yadomi. You
    haven't changed at all.
[01:10] Anaru
    Even when you've got your own problems,
    you always put others first.
[01:16] Jinta
    That's enough!
[01:19] Jinta
    You always put other people's
    feelings in front of your own!
[01:24] Jinta
    I'm not like that. Menma's way more...
[01:30] Anaru
    Um, listen...
[01:32] Anaru
    I talked to Yukiatsu about this too, but...
[01:34] Anaru
    All of us are really stuck on Menma.
    I don't think it's very healthy...
[01:40] Jinta
    I agree, but...I mean, she lives with me.
[01:43] Anaru
    Yeah...that's what I'm talking about.
[01:45] Jinta
    What, you mean you don't
    believe me about Menma?
[01:49] Anaru
    I-It's not that I don't believe you.
[01:54] Jinta
    I think I'd better get going.
[01:57] Anaru
    Yadomi, wait—!
[02:09] Poppo
    Hey, Anaru! I got us some Curry Express!
    You owe me ¥520, okay?
[02:20] Poppo
    Curry Express retreat!
[02:22] Jinta
    I-It's not what you think!
    I just came for the diary—
[02:27] Anaru
    My Curry Express!!!
[02:38] [SONG] ---
    nanpehji mo tsuiyashite
    tsuzurareta bokura no kibun
[02:38] ---
    All our feelings that we've written
    lie across so many pages.
[02:45] [SONG] ---
    doushiteka ichigyou no
    kuuhaku wo umerarenai
[02:45] ---
    Still, for some reason that's lost to me,
    there's an empty line that I can't fill in.
[02:52] [SONG] ---
    oshibana no shiori hasande
    kimi to korogasu tsukaisute no jitensha
[02:52] ---
    I mark it with a pressed flower bookmark,
    and ride on a throwaway bicycle with you.
[03:01] [SONG] ---
    wasurekake no renga wo
    tsumiageta basho ni yukou
[03:01] ---
    Let's go to the place we know, with all those
    bricks, nearly forgot, stacked so high.
[03:09] [SONG] ---
    umi wo miwatasu saka wo kakenobotte
[03:09] ---
    And then we can climb the
    hill that overlooks the sea.
[03:14] [SONG] ---
    kowaikurai ni aoi sora to
[03:14] ---
    Under a sky so blue it's almost scary,
[03:18] [SONG] ---
    migite ni saidaa hidarite wa
    zutto kimi wo sagashiteiru
[03:18] ---
    my right hand holds cider, my left
    hand extends, searching for you.
[03:26] [SONG] ---
    souyatte ima wa boku no hou e
    toitsumeru koto mo nakute
[03:26] ---
    Just like that, the now that lives all around
    us never comes to me asking questions.
[03:33] [SONG] ---
    mada futari wa sugusoko ni irunoni
[03:33] ---
    The two of us are standing
    right here, still together.
[03:40] [SONG] ---
    douka mata aemasuyouni nante
[03:40] ---
    But then, to say, "I hope we meet again..."
[03:48] [SONG] ---
    douka shiteru mitai
[03:48] ---
    Something must be wrong with me.
[04:02] Poppo
    If we really analyze this thing, maybe
    we'll figure out Menma's wish.
[04:07] Jinta
    Okay, here we go...
[04:11] Jinta
    A Menma I've never known is in here...
[04:14] Jinta
    Her feelings that I never
    knew are in here...

SIGN    "February 12 (cloudy): Today, I played with my friends. It was fun."
SIGN    "February 14 (sunny): Today, I played with my friends. It was fun."
[04:32] Jinta
    Huh? This is...
[04:33] Anaru
    So simple.
[04:34] Poppo
    "It was funny" or "I had fun."
    That's all she ever wrote.
[04:38] Jinta
    Well, she never did like writing.
[04:41] Anaru
    Oh, this one's a little different.
[04:43] Anaru
    "I fell down when I was playing
    with everyone. It really hurt."
[04:48] Poppo
    Hey, this one's different, too!
[04:50] Poppo
    "Today, we went and saw
    Jintan's mom at the hospital."
[04:55] Anaru
    The hospital...?
[04:58] Poppo
    I remember that. We used to go
    all the time. All of us...together.
[05:04] Jinta
    Mom!
[05:06] Tsuruko
    Jintan's mom's been in
    the hospital forever...
[05:10] Menma
    Oh, I know! Let's write God a letter!
[05:14] Menma
    We can say, "Please make Jintan's
    mom better really soon!"
[05:17] Anaru
    How do we do that?
[05:22] Poppo
    Jintan, look!
[05:33] Jinta
    Oh yeah... That one time!
[05:36] Poppo
    Jintan?
[05:39] Jinta
    We all decided to make fireworks together.
[05:42] Jinta
    "It sounds really hard.
    But we're gonna do our best."
[05:47] Poppo
    I remember now! We were gonna send
    the letter by sticking it on a rocket!
[05:52] Poppo
    Hey! That's gotta be her wish, right?
[05:55] Anaru
    Right! It has to be! We tried to make it, but
    we failed miserably. Remember, Yadomi?
[06:02] Jinta
    For...my mom...
[06:12] Menma
    Late Jintan.
[06:14] Menma
    Bad Jintan... Evil Jintan...
[06:20] Menma
    Owwieee...
[06:36] Menma
    I don't care about Jintan!
[06:47] Menma
    Eating at night's gonna turn
    you into a big fat piggy!
[06:50] Jinta
    You're the one becoming a pig.
[06:56] Menma
    Ramen...with scrambled eggs!
[07:00] Jinta
    I couldn't find any Ken-chan Ramen.
[07:03] Jinta
    I thought I'd do something to
    make up for what I did earlier.
[07:07] Menma
    Jintan...
[07:12] Menma
    Soooo good!
[07:14] Jinta
    Dad'll be home soon, so
    speed it up a little, okay?
[07:19] Jinta
    Oh, I think I'm gonna go to
    school again tomorrow.
[07:23] Jinta
    So...don't follow me, okay?
[07:33] Menma
    Great!
[07:36] Menma
    Here's a reward!
[07:39] Jinta
    N-No thanks...
[07:42] Menma
    But don't do anything weird again, okay?
[07:48] Tsuruko
    So...why are you wearing your school
    uniform while ditching school?
[07:52] Jinta
    Wh-Who cares? I can
    wear whatever I wa—
[07:56] Yukiatsu
    Nope.
[07:58] Yukiatsu
    According to the Control of
    Explosives Regulations,
[08:00] Yukiatsu
    only people 18 or older with special
    certifications can handle gunpowder.
[08:06] Poppo
    Damn... Really?
[08:07] Yukiatsu
    If it fell under the "recreational fireworks"
    category, there are some loopholes.
[08:11] Yukiatsu
    But we'd still need a license.
[08:14] Poppo
    Man...so there's nothing we can do.
[08:16] Jinta
    Well, yeah. It only makes
    sense we'd need a license.
[08:20] Anaru
    Oh yeah! I was doing some
    cleaning yesterday, and...
[08:26] Yukiatsu
    Is this for real...?
[08:28] Jinta
    "Get a bunch of small fireworks, take out
    the gunpowder, then put it all together."
[08:33] Anaru
    "Put it in a toilet paper roll—wait, no!
    That'll just catch on fire." Well duh!
[08:38] Poppo
    Man, kids are terrifying!
[08:40] Yukiatsu
    Still...
[08:41] Yukiatsu
    Back then, we were all sure
    that this would work.
[08:46] Jinta
    Yup. We thought this thing
    would just take right off.
[08:53] Jinta
    We figured it'd be even better than the
    real thing. We thought it'd really fly.
[09:06] All
    There it goes!
[09:08] Poppo
    Even high schoolers seemed so old.
    We thought we could do anything.
[09:23] Anaru
    Yeah, I feel like anything
    was possible back then...
[09:29] Yukiatsu
    Anyway, for now let's just
    keep brainstorming ideas.
[09:33] Yukiatsu
    That being said...
SIGN    STOP
[09:35] Yukiatsu
    There's really no point, no
    matter how you look at it.
[09:38] Jinta
    But...
[09:39] Yukiatsu
    We can jump through all the hoops,
[09:41] Yukiatsu
    but if this isn't the "wish" you've been
    talking about, it's all meaningless.
[09:47] Yukiatsu
    Hey, Yadomi-kun, did you run this
    by the Menma at your place?
[09:51] Tsuruko
    Yukiatsu.
[09:56] Jinta
    I think...I think I'm afraid
    to bring it up with her.
[10:04] Jinta
    See ya.
[10:07] Tsuruko
    Total déjà vu...
[10:10] Tsuruko
    Yadomi leading the way while poor little
    Yukiatsu-kun stands by watching.
[10:17] Tsuruko
    So, why didn't you tell him?
[10:20] Yukiatsu
    Even on that day... If he hadn't told
    us to meet up at the secret base...
[10:25] Tsuruko
    Wasn't it Menma who asked
    us to get together that day?
[10:30] Tsuruko
    Hmm...that's right. Menma called everyone.
[10:34] Yukiatsu
    She called us...
[10:37] Yukiatsu
    Oh yeah! She said she had something
    she wanted to talk about.
[10:41] Tsuruko
    You were able to remember...but why?
[10:45] Yukiatsu
    Yadomi was there.
[10:47] Yukiatsu
    You're forgetting one important fact.
[10:51] Yukiatsu
    We were asked to get together and not
    tell Yadomi about it. By Menma.
[10:59] Tsuruko
    Menma...?
SIGN    Episode 7: True Wish
[11:03] Atsushi
    Fireworks? Yeah, I know someone
    who can make 'em.
[11:06] Jinta
    Really!?
[11:07] Atsushi
    Sure, this guy I know from work.
[11:09] Atsushi
    He works as a pyrotechnician
    for festivals and things.
[11:13] Atsushi
    So what, you want to make fireworks?
[11:15] Jinta
    Huh? Well...sorta.
[11:17] Atsushi
    Why's that?
[11:19] Jinta
    Why? Because, you know...just because.
[11:22] Atsushi
    By yourself?
[11:24] Jinta
    Uh...no. With Poppo and the others.
[11:30] Jinta
    Wh-What?
[11:31] Atsushi
    Oh, nothing. So, you want
    me to talk to him for you?
[11:37] Menma
    Jintan! Jintan! Jintan! Jintan!
[11:40] Menma
    - I can't get out of Condor!
    - Whaddya say? Ask him, or no?
[11:43] Jinta
    C-Can we talk about it some other time?
[11:49] Olddude
    Yup, even a basic one's gonna
    run ya at least that much.
[11:53] Olddude
    I could do it for ya, but...
[12:02] Anaru
    Oh, welcome back! How'd it go?
[12:09] Anaru
    ¥200,000!?
[12:10] Poppo
    I've never even seen that much money!
[12:14] Jinta
    Right?
[12:16] Poppo
    No! It's all good! We got this!
[12:19] Poppo
    Me and Anaru just gotta
    work our butts off, right?
[12:22] Anaru
    Hey, hold on! Speak for yourself!
[12:25] Jinta
    Work...
[12:26] Poppo
    Come on, we're helping
    each other out, right?
[12:29] Anaru
    But—
[12:29] Poppo
    We can do this if you start
    working seven days a week!
[12:32] Anaru
    What!? I haven't agreed to—
[12:34] Jinta
    I'll help, too.
[12:36] Jinta
    I'm gonna get a job, too!
[12:41] Anaru
    Just punch in the price here.
[12:44] Anaru
    This is the used price, and this is for new—
[12:46] Jinta
    Oh, I get it. Then I just
    put the difference in here.
[12:51] Anaru
    Damn, it took me a month to master that...
[12:54] Jinta
    Why would it take anyone that long?
[12:59] Anaru
    Welcome!
[13:00] Jinta
    Welcome...
[13:04] Anaru
    You totally suck at that part, though.
[13:06] Jinta
    Shut up.
[13:08] Anaru
    Okay, next one...
[13:09] Anaru
    Welcome!
[13:10] BoyA
    Hey, that's that one girl...
[13:12] BoyB
    Oh, you're right.
[13:13] BoyA
    She's been coming to work at least, huh?
[13:15] BoyB
    Ditching school and—whoa, isn't that
    the guy that's been skipping forever?
[13:20] BoyA
    Oh yeah. Are they like, a thing?
[13:22] BoyB
    Lucky guy...
[13:24] Jinta
    W-WEL-C-COOOOOME!
[13:29] BoyA
    What's his problem?
[13:33] Jinta
    How was that? Pretty good, right?
[13:40] Jinta
    Wh-What's with you?
[13:44] Anaru
    I dunno...
[13:49] Anaru
    Hanging out like this...
[13:52] Anaru
    It reminds me of back then.
[13:55] Anaru
    Could you get the tape, Jintan?
[14:03] Anaru
    Y-Yadomi...
[14:08] Jinta
    Here ya go, Anaru!
[14:10] Anaru
    D-Don't call me that!
[14:12] Jinta
    Nice catch!
[14:19] Yukiatsu
    Yadomi got a job, huh?
[14:21] Tsuruko
    I guess he's really serious
    about that rocket.

[14:26] Tsuruko
    What do you think? Should we pitch in, too?
[14:30] Yukiatsu
    You want to be part of
    Yadomi's little hobby?

[14:32] Tsuruko
    If you're not going to, I won't either.
[14:36] Yukiatsu
    Hey, you wanna meet up?
[14:40] Yukiatsu
    Maybe get some tea.
[14:43] Tsuruko
    Can't. We have that test coming up.
[14:45] Yukiatsu
    Truly the fourth in her class.
[14:47] Tsuruko
    Says the second in his class. Bye.
[14:54] Tsuruko
    You have no idea how hard
    it is to keep up with you...
[15:03] Tsuruko
    Okay!
[15:05] Jinta
    I'm home.
[15:09] Menma
    Jintan! You're really late! Bad boy!
[15:14] Menma
    Jintan!
[15:15] Jinta
    I'll be in the shower.
[15:18] Menma
    Jintan's acting super weird!
[15:24] Menma
    He goes straight to bed...
[15:27] Jinta
    See ya later!
[15:28] Menma
    - Bye!
    - He leaves first thing in the morning...
[15:31] TV
    And now, for Today's Doggy.
[15:33] Menma
    If the doggy's a girl, Jintan's
    doing something bad for sure.
[15:38] TV
    Today's Doggy is Oscar,
    a seven-year-old female.

[15:42] Atsushi
    Pugs and their wrinkles are so cute!
[15:45] Menma
    It's a girl...
[15:48] Atsushi
    Coming!
[15:52] Atsushi
    Good morning.
[15:53] Woman
    Good morning. Here's the registry.
[15:56] Atsushi
    Oh yeah, okay...
[15:58] Woman
    Oh...did Jinta-kun give up on school?
[16:02] Atsushi
    No...but why do you ask?
[16:06] Woman
    Oh, sorry for bringing it up.
[16:08] Woman
    I just...thought I saw him out
    working somewhere the other day.
[16:14] Woman
    Does he talk to you about all
    the things he gets up to?
[16:18] Atsushi
    Well, yeah... But we believe in
    laissez-faire, you know?
[16:23] Atsushi
    I just let him do whatever
    he feels like. So it's okay.
[16:27] Menma
    Not okay!
[16:29] Menma
    Not okay! Not okay! Not okay!
[16:31] Menma
    NOT OKAAAAY!!!
[16:40] Menma
    Anaru...
[16:45] Anaru
    Oh, Poppo? Uh-huh...
[16:47] Anaru
    I'm not working right now,
    but my boss really likes him.
[16:52] Anaru
    He's with you tonight, right?
[16:55] Anaru
    Huh? You're doing construction
    on Hitsuji Mountain?
[16:57] Anaru
    Don't you think that's too much too soon?
[17:00] Anaru
    I mean, sure, manual labor's the
    best way to make a quick buck...
[17:05] Anaru
    But all our money's gonna just
    fly away with the fireworks.
[17:11] Menma
    Fireworks?
[17:14] Menma
    My...wish...
[17:19] Jinta
    You need to start thinking of yourself first!
[17:22] Jinta
    It...it annoys the hell outta me!
[17:31] Anaru
    Hmm...yeah, true.
[17:34] Anaru
    Oh yeah...have you heard
    from Yukiatsuruko?
[17:37] Poppo
    Ehh, kinda-sorta.
[17:39] Anaru
    They should come, too. They
    obviously care about Jintan.
[17:44] Poppo
    Huh? "Jintan"?
[17:46] Anaru
    Wh-What's wrong with that!? Jintan's
    Jintan! You call him that, too!
[17:51] Anaru
    So what's the big deal!?
[17:53] Menma
    Jintan...
[17:57] Menma
    Jintan...!
[18:04] WorkerA
    New guy, over here!
[18:06] Jinta
    Coming!
[18:11] WorkerA
    Over here when you're done!
[18:13] Jinta
    Okay!
[18:14] WorkerB
    That's one hardworking kid.
[18:18] Poppo
    Better believe it.
[18:19] Poppo
    Jintan's the coolest.
[18:30] Menma
    While I was spending all that time
    not thinking about myself...

[18:35] Menma
    Jintan...he was thinking
    about me all along.

[18:43] WorkerA
    Hey, watch your step, okay?
[18:45] Jinta
    G-Got it!
[19:02] WorkerA
    Hey, what the—? Whoever's moving those
    lights around better knock it off!
[19:06] WorkerB
    - What the heck?
    - Maybe it was the wind...
[19:10] WorkerB
    The wind moved the light? Really?
[19:17] Menma
    He's the coolest.
[19:20] Menma
    He's shining so bright.
[19:28] Menma
    He's the coolest...
[19:37] Jinta
    This is...
[19:39] Menma
    I made a ton!
[19:41] Jinta
    Yeah, too much.
[19:51] Jinta
    - It's...good!
    - Really?
[19:53] Jinta
    It's actually really close to how
    my mom used to make it...
[20:00] Menma
    Hey, Jintan...is school hard?
[20:03] Jinta
    Well, yeah...
[20:05] Jinta
    But it's fun, I guess.
[20:07] Menma
    Fun...?
[20:09] Jinta
    I'm not sure how to put it, but...
    It's a lot better than just staying home.
[20:14] Jinta
    I feel like...I'm alive again.
[20:17] Menma
    Alive...
[20:19] Jinta
    Oh, no! I mean...not like, literally. But—
[20:22] Jinta
    You know what I was
    like before and all that...
[20:25] Menma
    Me too...
[20:27] Menma
    I feel the same way. When I see you
    feeling alive, I feel like I'm alive, too!
[20:33] Jinta
    Menma...
[20:40] Jinta
    Here, we got enough for the deposit!
[20:42] Olddude
    Umm...yeah, well...
[20:44] Jinta
    I know it's not enough for everything,
    but could you at least start working on it?
[20:49] Jinta
    Please!
[20:52] Olddude
    Ahh, listen...I don't like
    having to say this, but I can't.
[20:57] Olddude
    I was talking to an officer for the
    festival, and I kinda let it slip...
[21:00] Olddude
    I got yelled at not to go around helping
    high school kids do stuff like this.
[21:04] Olddude
    I can't apologize enough!
[21:06] Anaru
    No...
[21:07] Poppo
    We worked really hard on this!
[21:09] Jinta
    Who is this officer?
    I'll go talk to them myself!
[21:13] Olddude
    Well...Honma-san...
[21:20] Jinta
    Menma's...
[21:27] MenmaMom
    Meiko-chan...Jinta-kun and the others are
    working so hard to do so much for you...
[21:39] MenmaMom
    Do they really not see...?

[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.
[22:27] [SONG] ---
    kimi ga saigomade kokoro kara
[22:27] ---
    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.
