    For every app, there's a monster:
[00:24] ---
    App Monsters!
[00:25] ---
    Your future is already searched!
SIGN    Previously on Appmon:
[00:31] ---
    I'm Shinkai Haru, a second
    year in middle school.
[00:34] ---
    One day, I obtained an App Drive
[00:36] ---
    and met the search
    app monster Gatchmon,
[00:38] ---
    who has the power to get
    perfect search results!
[00:42] ---
    If we don't stop the
    big boss AI, Leviathan,
[00:44] ---
    who lurks deep in the sea of the 'net,
[00:46] ---
    he'll unleash chaos on the world.
[00:50] ---
    There's a major corporation with its hands
    in everything internet and smartphone-related.
[00:54] ---
    It's called L-Corp.
[00:56] ---
    Not only do they deal
    in smartphone OSes,
[00:59] ---
    home appliances and such,
[01:01] ---
    they also run Eri's idol group,
    Appliyama 470.
[01:05] ---
    And the newly appointed CEO of L-Corp
[01:09] ---
    is the 16-year-old Unryuji Knight!

    Welcome to the AI City!
SIGN    On the Way to L-Town
[01:29] haru
    We're heading to a certain place today.
[01:32] haru
    That place is...
[01:36] guide
    Thank you for participating
    in today's L-Town Sightseeing Tour.
[01:43] ---
    L-Town is a pioneering
    initiative by L-Corp:
[01:47] ---
    a city run entirely by AI.
[01:50] ---
    You're about to witness a world
    like nothing seen before.
[01:55] haru
    Me, Eri-san, Astora-kun, and Yujin
[01:59] ---
    put our names in the hat for
    the L-Town Sightseeing Tour.
[02:02] haru
    Apparently the chances
    of being picked are pretty low,
[02:06] ---
    so Watson and Ai-chan didn't make it.
[02:09] tora
    So fast!
[02:11] eri
    They say this linear motor
    car is also driven by AI!
[02:16] haru
    Appmon are AI, too!
[02:19] haru
    Just about everything
    these days uses AI!
[02:22] haru
    Of course...
[02:24] ---
    that includes Leviathan.
[02:27] haru
    I wonder what it means
    that the city is run by AI?
[02:31] yu
    Really makes you curious, huh?
[02:34] eri
    Too bad the weather's so bad
    on the day of our big tour...
[02:37] guide
    We will soon arrive in L-Town.
[03:10] haru
    This is L-Town?
[03:16] ---
    Appmon:
[03:17] ---
    App-based life forms
    with artificial intelligence,
[03:21] ---
    capable of thinking
    and acting on their own.
[03:23] ---
    In the real world,
[03:24] ---
    they take the form of Appmon chips,
[03:27] ---
    but an App Drive can give
    them physical form.
[03:33] ---
    And now,
[03:34] ---
    a terrible AI lurking deep in the
    dark web is beginning to stir.
[03:40] ---
    In the year 2045,
[03:43] ---
    artificial intelligence will
    transcend human intelligence.
[05:31] eri
    What is all this?
[05:33] tora
    Amazing...

    AI maintains a healthy and
    bountiful lifestyle for the residents.
[07:30] kni
    I'm the one who made it possible.
[07:33] kni
    Just like when the genius inventor
    Edison brought light to darkness!
[07:39] kni
    I believe the realization of humanity's
    Utopia lies here in L-Town.
[07:46] kni
    Back when AI was first invented,
[07:50] ---
    the creation of a city like
    this was just a dream.
[07:52] kni
    But we've finally made it reality!
[07:56] crowd

[08:16] ---
    L-Town: a city run entirely by AI.
[08:20] ---
    Security cameras are installed
    in places all throughout the city.
[08:24] ---
    These security cameras
    ensure total public safety,
[08:28] ---
    and stop accidents and crimes
    before they happen.
[08:35] ---
    Unlike humans,
[08:37] ---
    AI have no need for rest or sleep.
[08:39] ---
    Therefore, they are prepared
    to respond 24 hours a day.
[08:44] man
    I'm sorry! No!
[08:48] guide
    All cars use autonomous drive systems.
[08:50] guide
    The roads themselves
    have electrical systems
[08:53] ---
    which automatically recharge
    them while they drive.
[08:58] guide
    Traffic patterns are also dictated by AI,
[09:01] ---
    removing the need for traffic signals.
[09:05] guide
    Residents' health is also
    constantly monitored
[09:10] guide
    so that treatment can be
    administered immediately.
[09:12] man
    Thank you!
[09:14] guide
    Work can be done in the
    worker's chosen location,
[09:15] ---
    eliminating the need for commutes.
[09:18] guide
    Education can also be provided
    via home AI programs,
[09:21] ---
    reducing the need for
    children to go to school.
[09:24] guide
    The production of various objects
[09:27] ---
    is provided by cutting-edge 3D printers.
[09:32] doka
    This place is amazing!
[09:34] musi
    I'm gonna add it to my playlist!
[09:37] eri

[09:42] tora
    Humans don't have
    to do anything anymore!
[09:48] yu
    Haru!
[09:48] haru
    Yujin?

    What do you think?
[09:51] yu
    It's certainly amazing.
[09:52] haru
    Yeah,
[09:53] ---
    L-Corp must be an amazing
    company to make a city like this.
[09:57] yu
    Just what kind of person
    is Unryuji Knight?
[10:00] gatch
    I'll search all about it!
[10:03] gatch
    Unryuji Knight was raised abroad
    because of his parents' work.
[10:08] gatch
    His unusually high intelligence let him graduate
    high school and enter college at age 12.
[10:13] gatch
    He finished graduate
    school just last year, it says!
[10:16] haru
    That's amazing.
[10:17] yu
    He must be extremely brilliant.
[10:21] haru
    He seems nice, too.
[10:24] yu
    But is it all right to have AI
    running everything all the time?
[10:29] gatch
    Are you talking about cyber terrorism?
[10:31] haru
    Cyber terrorism?
[10:32] yu
    It refers to flooding
    a system with viruses.
[10:35] yu
    If that were to happen,
[10:37] ---
    it could cause the entire city to lock up.
[10:40] yu
    Of course,
[10:41] ---
    I'm sure L-Corp has plenty
    of countermeasures in place.
[10:45] haru
    Yeah...

    The sightseeing tour
    has reached lunch break.
[10:53] kni

    Thank you.
[11:18] char
    The App Drivers are all together.
[11:20] kni
    I see...
[11:22] kni
    Bringing them all here was part
    of Leviathan's plan, was it?
[11:26] kni
    I didn't expect him to bring them here.
[11:29] kni
    Impressive.
[11:31] cha
    Everything Leviathan
    does has a reason.
[11:35] cha
    We're simply incapable
    of comprehending it.
[11:38] kni
    Like how a rat
[11:40] ---
    can't understand a human's
    way of thinking, you mean?
[11:44] kni
    So no matter what I do,
[11:45] ---
    Leviathan will have anticipated it?
[11:51] kni
    In that case,
[11:52] ---
    let's let this one loose on the city.
