**[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...?
**[21:41] ---**
**[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.
