    I'm Shinkai Haru,
    a first year in middle school.
[00:34] ---
    One day, I obtained an App Drive
[00:37] ---
    and met the search
    app monster Gatchmon,
[00:39] ---
    who has the power to get
    perfect search results!
[00:42] ---
    Then one time, I heard this
    mysterious voice from my App Drive.
[00:46] ---
    Haru!
[00:50] ---
    Who could that have been?

    The App Drive talked?
[01:04] haru
    Yeah.
[01:05] ---
    It was a while back, though.
[01:07] gatch
    You never told me about that.
[01:08] haru
    I thought I was dreaming it,
[01:11] haru
    so I forgot to tell you.
[01:12] tora
    But the App Drives always talk!
[01:16] tora
    "Apprealize!!!" and stuff.
[01:19] musi
    "App Fusion!!!" and stuff.
[01:22] haru
    No...
[01:23] ---
    I think it was calling my name.
[01:26] gatch
    Your name?
[01:27] haru
    It said "Haru."
[01:28] eri
    I wonder...
[01:30] ---
    just what is an App Drive?
[01:34] eri
    I feel like I was guided
    by a claw machine to get mine.
[01:38] haru
    I got mine from a vending machine.
[01:41] tora
    A drone brought mine to me.
[01:43] eri
    You think maybe

    a terrible AI lurking deep in the

[03:09] ---
    In the year 2045,

    transcend human intelligence.
[04:46] haru
    My grandfather?

[04:52] mom
    Goodnight.
[04:57] gatch
    That was your grandpa's voice?
[05:00] haru

[05:01] haru
    Deneimon was my father's father,
[05:05] haru
    but he died when I was little,

    so I don't remember him.
