[00:07] ---
    We don't have time to waste on the fighters.
[00:09] ---
    Let's do this quick!
[00:10] ---
    Enemy craft at two o' clock.
[00:12] ---
    Five o' clock, too.
[00:13] ---
    They're on both sides of us?
[00:15] ---
    Kei, fire.
[00:17] ---
    It will hit.
[00:18] ---
    They're behind us!
[00:19] ---
    Fire.
[00:25] ---
    It hit!
[00:26] ---
    It's fine.
[00:27] ---
    I can take down most enemies
    within our firing range.
[00:30] ---
    Seriously?
[00:32] ---
    Kei-san, conserve your missiles.
[00:35] ---
    Ready guns. The next ones
    are coming in from above.
[00:37] ---
    A-Above?
[00:38] ---
    Pitch up.
[00:40] ---
    Right!
[00:41] ---
    Adjust throttle.
[00:43] ---
    Right.
[00:46] ---
    Fox 3!
[00:51] ---
    Wow...
[00:53] ---
    This definitely isn't my piloting, though!
[00:57] ---
    Remember that feeling.
[00:59] ---
    I'm not a puppet!
[01:02] ---
    But that feeling...
[01:13] ---
    Where are they coming from?
[01:15] ---
    Kei, below us!
[01:16] ---
    New units. From the island.
[01:22] ---
    The SAM cluster rounds?!
[01:24] ---
    Phantom, circle around the
    island and try to evade them!
[01:43] ---
    Second wave, incoming.
[01:45] ---
    Crap!
[01:51] ---
    Third wave.
[01:52] ---
    There's no end to them...
[01:54] ---
    We can't protect Phantom like this.
[01:58] ---
    Barbie 04?
[02:15] ---
    Viper Zero.
[02:17] ---
    She destroyed the enemy air defense
    network with an NOE bombing run.
[02:20] ---
    I have ASuW capability as well,
[02:23] ---
    but I can't carry that kind of firepower.
[02:26] ---
    She really is a pervert.
[02:33] ---
    She's gone.
[02:35] ---
    The threat has passed.
[02:37] ---
    Let's get started.
[02:48] ---
    Can I trust you to protect me?
[02:50] ---
    Yes. I won't let a single
    one get close to you!
[02:53] ---
    You'll have front-row seats
    to watch my performance.
[02:56] ---
    Oh my. How cool.
[02:58] ---
    Barbie 03 to Dollhouse.
[03:01] ---
    Ready for control.
[03:02] ---
    Request permission to begin mission.
[03:04] ---
    Roger.
SIGN    Survivors of the 7th Fleet
SIGN    Ishigaki Island
SIGN    JGSDF Artillery Regiment
[03:55] ---
    Wow...
[03:57] ---
    EPCM levels dropping.
[03:59] ---
    Surviving Xi are retreating.
[04:00] ---
    Is it over?
[04:02] ---
    Yes.
[04:03] ---
    Eagle safely protected the fleet, too.
[04:06] ---
    This mission was a big success,
[04:08] ---
    and I did just what she told me.
[04:10] ---
    I took control.
[04:16] ---
    Okay!
[04:17] ---
    Let's get back.
[04:18] ---
    Mission complete! RTB!
[04:29] ---
    Take that!
[04:32] ---
    You seem to be enjoying yourself.
[04:36] ---
    Do I?
[04:38] ---
    You've got a full lineup
    of extra large, medium,
[04:42] ---
    and petite to choose from.
[04:44] ---
    What?
[04:45] ---
    I'm kidding.
[04:48] ---
    Thanks to you, we were able
    to complete our mission.
[04:52] ---
    To be honest, I expected to
    lose an Anima out there.
[04:56] ---
    So this was the best possible outcome.
[04:58] ---
    Phantom?
[04:59] ---
    That aside,
[05:01] ---
    pilot Narutani Kei with fire control
    and radar officer Gripen...
[05:05] ---
    It worked out pretty well, didn't it?
[05:07] ---
    You can hit any enemy in your
    firing range with a missile,
[05:08] ---
    Wait for me!
[05:09] ---
    regardless of their exact location.
[05:12] ---
    With that sort of advantage, a small loss
    of maneuverability isn't a problem.
[05:16] ---
    So it all worked out like you planned?
[05:19] ---
    No, I just bet on one of those
    "new possibilities" you talked about.
[05:26] ---
    Kei-san, why do you think that girls
    like us, made from parts of the Xi,
[05:30] ---
    are allowed autonomy?
[05:33] ---
    The natural choice would have been
    to have the Anima support humans.
[05:39] ---
    It feels to me like you two
    are the right way to do this.
[05:45] ---
    You may be the key to winning this war.
[05:46] ---
    Come and get me!
[05:50] ---
    We're the key?
[05:56] ---
    If you ever feel like having a new partner,
[05:58] ---
    I'll be waiting.
[06:02] ---
    I won, so that's not happening, right?
[06:05] ---
    I wouldn't force you.
[06:08] ---
    But I think I can show you some
    things you'll never see with her.
[07:51] ---
    Die.

    Hey!

SIGN    Emergency

[08:02] ---
    Emergency. Sending a car.
[08:05] ---
    Seriously?
[08:07] ---
    What?!
SIGN    Naha Base
[08:15] ---
    And now I'm back in Okinawa.
[08:18] ---
    Sorry, there was a screw-up and some
    parts for Gripen ended up coming here.
[08:23] ---
    It would take too long to get a plane
    ready to get them sent to Komatsu,
[08:28] ---
    so the director said to just do the
    work here and bring them back.
[08:31] ---
    You guys are as crazy as ever.
[08:33] ---
    Everyone makes mistakes.
[08:35] ---
    It's not their fault.
[08:37] ---
    But who sends a fighter plane up
    into the air to correct a mistake?
[08:40] ---
    You were able to get to Okinawa from your
    house in 30 minutes because of that.
[08:44] ---
    You should save stunts
     like that for a hot scramble!
[08:47] ---
    How long is this going to take?
[08:49] ---
    What, did you have plans?
[08:52] ---
    No, not really.
[08:54] ---
    Probably not that long.
[08:58] ---
    Kei, I need tuning and have
    to stay here for a while.
[09:01] ---
    What do you want to do?
[09:04] ---
    I'll just go for a walk.
[09:07] ---
    Call my phone if you need something.
[09:09] ---
    Sure, thanks.
SIGN    Minghua
SIGN    Yesterday
SIGN    How much longer?
SIGN    Sorry, I lost track of time. I'll be back around 6:40.
SIGN    That's super late! I needed you to buy some groceries, but forget it!
SIGN    How would I know that?!
SIGN    Could you buy some cabbages after all?
SIGN    Sure...
[09:17] ---
    No word from her, huh?
[09:26] ---
    M-Minghua?
[09:28] ---
    Minghua! Minghua!
[09:31] ---
    Wh-What are you doing here?
[09:34] ---
    And that outfit...
[09:36] ---
    Did somebody bring you here?
[09:39] ---
    Um, well...
[09:41] ---
    There's a reason I'm dressed like this.
[09:43] ---
    It was kind of an accident.
    Not really my fault...
[09:46] ---
    And I was piloting that f-fighter because...
[09:49] ---
    O-Or well, it's kind of a fighter...
[09:52] ---
    I mean, it's a normal aircraft!
[09:54] ---
    And it was because somebody
    from the base told me to!
[09:56] ---
    So you don't need to worry.
[09:58] ---
    I'm not planning on joining the military.
[10:03] ---
    H-Hey, Minghua!
[10:06] ---
    What's your problem today?
[10:15] (Flashback) ---
    Hey, Kei,
[10:15] (Flashback) ---
    do you still want to go see that movie?
[10:17] (Flashback) ---
    Movie?
[10:18] (Flashback) ---
    Jeez!
[10:20] (Flashback) ---
    This one!
[10:21] (Flashback) ---
    Our favorite actor is in it.
[10:24] (Flashback) ---
    We were talking about going to see it!
[10:26] (Flashback) ---
    Oh, that was a great movie.
[10:29] (Flashback) ---
    I love that actor.
[10:32] (Flashback) ---
    You should go see it if you get a chance.
[10:35] (Flashback) ---
    Who'd you go with?
[10:37] (Flashback) ---
    A friend. Yesterday.
[10:39] (Flashback) ---
    Listen, I didn't go with my
    friend because you invited me.
[10:44] (Flashback) ---
    If you didn't want to go together,
    you should've said so.
[10:47] (Flashback) ---
    That's really mean.
[10:48] (Flashback) ---
    Huh?
[10:49] (Flashback) ---
    I never said I was going with you.
[10:52] (Flashback) ---
    If you wanted to go,
    you should've said something.
[10:55] (Flashback) ---
    You're the one who brought it up!
[10:57] (Flashback) ---
    "There's this great movie out.
     I want to go see it."
[11:00] (Flashback) ---
    That's why I said to myself,
    "Oh, I bet he wants to go with me!"
[11:04] (Flashback) ---
    I just told you about a movie!
[11:08] (Flashback) ---
    You're the one who got the wrong idea!
[11:09] (Flashback) ---
    So you're saying it's my fault?
[11:11] (Flashback) ---
    It's not anybody's fault.
[11:14] (Flashback) ---
    You're just being weird.
[11:16] (Flashback) ---
    Fine. If I see something I think
    you'll like, I just won't tell you.
[11:21] (Flashback) ---
    That's what you want, right?
[11:24] (Flashback) ---
    Why are you being so mean?
[11:28] (Flashback) ---
    I was looking forward to it.
[11:35] (Flashback) ---
    I'm sorry.
[11:36] (Flashback) ---
    We're living together, after all.
[11:38] (Flashback) ---
    It would be weird to find out about
    something fun and not tell you.
[11:42] (Flashback) ---
    From now on, I'll make sure to add,
    "Go see it with somebody else."
[11:47] (Flashback) ---
    That's fine, right?
[11:50] (Flashback) ---
    Die.
[11:55] ---
    Listen, Minghua.
[11:56] ---
    Are you still mad?
[11:59] ---
    I don't want to fight with you.
[12:02] ---
    I want to be friends.
[12:04] ---
    But she keeps crying and picking fights...
[12:07] ---
    I don't understand her.
[12:10] ---
    She and I used to get
    in fights all the time.
[12:14] ---
    But as time passed, we always made up.
[12:19] (Flashback) ---
    Don't worry!
[12:20] (Flashback) ---
    Big Sis Minghua is here for you!
[12:22] (Flashback) ---
    You don't have to worry about a thing.
[12:27] ---
    Listen, Minghua.
[12:29] ---
    I don't know how to handle this, either.
[12:31] ---
    I don't know what you're thinking.
[12:34] ---
    Have I done something to upset
    you without realizing it?

    Let me think!
SIGN    Text Memo
SIGN    Think about it until you're satisfied. The choice is yours to make.
SIGN    Problems with your condition affect the combat power of autonomous flight unit #4. If left unfixed, this could threaten operational efforts.

    "Problems with your condition affect the
    combat power of autonomous flight unit #4."
[14:17] ---
    "If left unfixed, this could
    threaten operational efforts."
[14:22] ---
    You're really Minghua, right?
[14:24] ---
    Oh, Narutani-kun! There you are.
[14:28] ---
    I don't know why she's here, either!
[14:32] ---
    I definitely didn't—
[14:34] ---
    What are you talking about? Nobody's there.
[14:37] ---
    Huh?
[14:38] ---
    I tried integrating the
    new parts with Gripen,
[14:41] ---
    but they're not working
     like we thought they would.
[14:44] ---
    I'm taking a little break.
[14:46] ---
    I want the pilot's opinion,
    too, so head back.
[14:49] ---
    W-Wait!
[14:55] ---
    Hey, Minghua! Where did you go?
[14:58] ---
    Stop wandering around!
[15:00] ---
    Come back!
[15:01] ---
    That's my line!
[15:03] ---
    You run out of the house
    and vanish for hours,
[15:07] ---
    and then you want to know where I went?
[15:08] ---
    So that's how you want
    to do this, huh? Fine!
[15:11] ---
    I'll come to you right now.
    Tell me where you are.
[15:15] ---
    Are you at home, Minghua?
[15:18] ---
    Of course I am!
[15:19] ---
    Fine. We can talk when I get back.
[15:22] ---
    I'm hanging up now! We'll talk later!
SIGN    Minghua
SIGN    Call Time
[15:24] ---
    Hey, Kei!
[15:27] ---
    What's going on?
SIGN    Komatsu Airbase
[15:33] ---
    That was probably Viper Zero.
SIGN    No Smoking
[15:36] ---
    Huh? Um, Yashirodoori-san...
[15:39] ---
    That was Minghua I saw!
[15:41] ---
    But Minghua-san never left Komatsu, right?
[15:44] ---
    You ran into somebody else in Naha.
[15:47] ---
    From what you said about her clothing,
    I'm 99% sure that was her.
[15:50] ---
    She likes dressing up.
[15:53] ---
    You made contact with the F-2A Anima.
[15:56] ---
    F-2A?
[15:59] ---
    Viper Zero...
[16:04] ---
    But that doesn't make sense!
[16:05] ---
    Why does the F-2A look like Minghua?
[16:09] ---
    That Anima's a little special.
[16:12] ---
    It doesn't have a single form.
[16:14] ---
    Or well, to be more precise,
[16:16] ---
    it does have an original form,
    but it can't be observed.
[16:19] ---
    How it looks depends on who's looking at it.
[16:24] ---
    It changes how it looks?
[16:26] ---
    It's similar to the
    observation selection effect
[16:28] ---
    you read about in the philosophy of science.
[16:31] ---
    When a phenomenon is observed,
    the characteristics and abilities
[16:35] ---
    of the observer create a bias
    in the observation results.
[16:38] ---
    Recording her with machines or photographing
    her with a camera doesn't help, either.
[16:42] ---
    Whenever a human's subjective
    vision comes into play,
[16:44] ---
    she'll take the form of whoever the
    viewer thinks about the most.
[16:48] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[16:50] ---
    An illusion? Some kind of hypnosis?
[16:53] ---
    We don't know how it works.
[16:55] ---
    Her core itself is unstable.
[16:58] ---
    An Anima's EGG is supposed to be stable,
    but hers is constantly changing.
[17:02] ---
    She's like a mirror, you could say.
[17:05] ---
    A screen that reflects the heart
    of the person looking at her.
[17:09] ---
    Then what I saw...
[17:12] ---
    ...was a reflection of your mind.
[17:14] ---
    Of course, she can't copy someone's
    personality or knowledge.
[17:19] ---
    Well? How does it feel to
    have touched our top secret?
[17:23] ---
    I made somebody crazy like
    that worry about me?
[17:27] ---
    So why did she look like Minghua-san to you?
[17:31] ---
    What do you mean?
[17:33] ---
    I told you, she responds to the
    emotions of those she meets.
[17:37] ---
    For example, if you're
    starting to develop feelings
[17:40] ---
    for your pretty childhood friend...
[17:43] ---
    No! No way! You've got the wrong idea!
     It's not like that!
[17:47] ---
    We got into a real fight for
    the first time in years,
[17:50] ---
    and I wasn't sure what to do. That's all.
[17:54] ---
    Yashirodoori-san, what about you?
[17:56] ---
    Does Viper Zero look like
    somebody special to you?
[18:00] ---
    An ex-girlfriend or something?
[18:02] ---
    I'm afraid there's no space
[18:04] ---
    in my brain for remembering
    girls I've broken up with.
[18:09] ---
    But when I see her, I do realize
    that I've lived a complicated life.
[18:14] ---
    It's not a bad feeling.
[18:17] ---
    It makes you realize that the path you've
    walked wasn't always through a wasteland.
[18:23] ---
    What does that mean?
[18:25] ---
    Well, someday I'll tell
    you about it over drinks.
[18:38] ---
    I'm bac—
[18:42] ---
    Welcome back.
[18:44] ---
    You're late... aren't you?
[18:47] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[18:49] ---
    You left without even doing the dishes.
[18:52] ---
    Yeah.
[18:54] ---
    And you made that weird phone call.
[18:57] ---
    Sorry.
[18:58] ---
    You're going to explain where you
    were and what you were doing, right?
[19:05] ---
    Forget it.
[19:07] ---
    You've been gone all day,
    and you have to be tired, right?
[19:10] ---
    Come on in.
[19:12] ---
    I'm sure you haven't eaten dinner.
[19:14] ---
    It'll just take me a second to warm it up.
[19:32] ---
    You're not mad?
[19:34] ---
    Of course I'm mad.
[19:36] ---
    Yeah...
[19:39] ---
    But I'd be madder if you hadn't come back.
[19:43] ---
    Um, Minghua...
[19:45] ---
    Wh-What?
[19:47] ---
    I could've come home earlier,
[19:50] ---
    but I stopped somewhere on the way.

    It might not be your favorite
    kind of movie, but...
[20:04] ---
    You don't have to say yes!
[20:05] ---
    If you say no, I'll see it on my own.
[20:07] ---
    I'm going! I'm definitely going!
[20:10] ---
    I s-see...
[20:15] ---
    B-But what's gotten into you?
[20:18] ---
    You were mad this morning.
[20:21] ---
    Well, I didn't realize how
     my words affected you.
[20:27] ---
    I realized I'd done something bad.
[20:29] ---
    I'm really sorry.
[20:31] ---
    I went too far, too.
[20:33] ---
    I'm sorry. I should've calmed
    down instead of yelling.
[20:37] ---
    And I shouldn't say, "Die,"
    even if I'm joking.
[20:39] ---
    Yeah, so...
[20:42] ---
    Let's just both admit we were wrong.
[20:44] ---
    Yeah.
[20:49] ---
    Um...
[20:51] ---
    The miso soup!
[20:53] ---
    Hey, are you okay?
[20:56] ---
    It wouldn't suit you at all.
[20:58] ---
    Huh? What?
[20:59] ---
    I was just thinking how weird
    you'd look in a frilly skirt.
[21:04] ---
    You're not really the feminine type.
[21:07] ---
    You're better off in shorts.
[21:09] ---
    A blouse with a ribbon on it, or a dress,
    none of that stuff is good for you.
[21:13] ---
    Honestly, even seeing you in a
    school sailor uniform is weird.
[21:17] ---
    You might look better wearing my uniform.
[21:22] ---
    What are you even talking about?
[21:25] ---
    Are you picking a fight with me?
[21:26] ---
    You suck!
[21:27] ---
    I was an idiot to expect
    any kind of tact from you!
[21:31] ---
    Stupid Kei! Die!
[21:32] ---
    You just told me to die again!
[21:35] ---
    Shut up!
[21:35] ---
    I hate you! Don't even talk to me.
[21:38] ---
    Go to work or wherever!
[23:28] ---
    Next time on Girly Air Force...
[23:30] ---
    ALT 09: "Unphysical Layer."
SIGN    Unphysical Layer
[23:33] ---
    Barbie 01, cleared for take off!
