Snowboarding is Fun!

"Snowboarding is Fun!"
[01:38] Gunma-chan
We're climbing so high!
[01:41] Akio
It's not too long before we pass
an elevation of 1,000 meters!
[01:45] Narrator
Seasons change rather suddenly
as needed in this show.
[01:49] Narrator
Right now, it's winter.
[01:51] Meemi
It's snow!
[01:53] Aoma
Sure! It's winter!
[01:54] Gunma-chan
I'm warm since I have a lot of layers on!
[01:58] Akio
Uncle Akio's responsible for you kids today,
so let's listen to instructions and have fun.
[02:04] Kids
Yeah!
[02:05] Akio
Alright, let's get on the lift
and go even higher!
[02:08] Akio
Grab your boards!
[02:10] Kids
Yeah!
[02:15] Aoma
We're up so high!
[02:17] Gunma-chan
Isn't it funny how
the height makes us all say that?
[02:20] Narrator
That's a good point, no one
mentions height on the ground.
[02:24] Akio
Alright, let's ride!
[02:25] Akio
I heard you kids are good at snowboarding!
[02:29] Gunma-chan
Yeah, we are! We do core
training in ninja class!
[02:33] Akio
Perfect! Let's go!
[02:51] Gunma-chan
So fun!
[02:53] Meemi
I love snow!
[02:54] Aoma
This is awesome!
[02:57] Akio
You're pretty good at this!
[03:04] Akio
For as long as it takes to get up there,
it sure is over in a blink!
[03:09] Gunma-chan
Let's go slide some more!
[03:10] Aoma+Meemi
More! More!
[03:13] Akio
Okay!
[03:17] Aoma
Yep, still high!
[03:19] Gunma-chan
Isn't it funny how the height
makes us all say that over and over?
[03:23] Narrator
True, it never gets boring to feel moved.
[03:26] Akio
Alright, kids! Let's ride again!
Careful not to get hurt!
[03:31] Kids
Okay!
[03:33] Akio
Let's go!
[03:50] Gunma-chan
It's still just as fun!
[03:52] Meemi
I can't get enough of this speed!
[03:54] Aoma
Feels super awesome!
[03:57] Akio
I love winter sports!
[04:04] Gunma-chan
I'm having so much fun!
[04:06] Narrator
The group took the lift two more times,
[04:10] Narrator
but let's fast forward to
avoid being repetitive.
[04:14] Akio
Let's take a lunch break!

Eating a hot meal after exercising
in the cold is an amazing feeling.
[04:32] Aoma
Yeah!
[04:34] Meemi
Definitely! I'm so glad we're here!
[04:38] Akio
You better not forget this
memory with your uncle,
[04:41] Akio
who's working as a
perfect guide, I might add.
[04:44] Akio
Who wants miso konnyaku for dessert?!
[04:46] Kids
Yay!
[04:52] Akio
We should start heading
back down the mountain.
[04:55] Akio
The weather can get unpredictable up here!

Attention, visitors.
[05:12] Announcement
Due to inclement weather and strong winds,
[05:15] Announcement
the ropeway will be closed
until further notice.
[05:18] Announcement
Please stand by as we work
to resume operation.
[05:21] Gunma-chan
What are we gonna do?
[05:22] Aoma
You mean we can't go home today?
[05:26] Akio
Let's go over there!
[05:29] Akio
We're full right now, anyway.
[05:31] Akio
Let's cuddle up around the warm
daruma stove and wait things out.
[05:38] Akio
It'd be awesome if fun times lasted forever.
[05:42] Gunma-chan
Yeah.
[05:43] Akio
But things aren't always that way.
[05:46] Aoma
What do you do when it's not?
[05:48] Akio
You can get frantic and try whatever,
but it's not bad to wait around, either.
[05:54] Meemi
But how do you know which to do?
[05:56] Akio
Experience and instinct!
[05:57] Kids
Experience and instinct?
[06:00] Akio
When you live long enough,
you start to figure things out.
[06:03] Akio
You kids don't have as much
experience or instinct as your uncle,
[06:06] Akio
so you can count on me as a pro.
[06:12] Akio
Come on, now. Trust me.
[06:14] Akio
I guess there could be times in your future
where a bad grown-up tries to trick you kids.
[06:20] Akio
It's up to you to decide who that may be.
[06:23] Akio
It's tough, but becoming a grown-up
means deciding who to trust on your own.
[06:33] Akio
Ha!
[06:33] Akio
Your uncle got serious for a change!
Now I'm a bit embarrassed.
[06:38] Akio
You know, it's cool if
you wanna brag to everyone
[06:41] Akio
about how inspiring Gunma-chan's uncle is!

[06:51] Gunma-chan
That was so fun!
[06:53] Aoma+Meemi
It was awesome!
[06:56] Akio
Oh, no! I accidentally locked us out!
[07:00] Narrator
This means he locked the car
while the keys were still inside.
[07:05] Narrator
It used to be a rather frequent
occurrence with older cars.
[07:07] Narrator
People who are forgetful tend to be
at higher risk of this incident.
[07:11] Akio
Someone help us!
[07:15] Akio
Huh? Keys?
[07:16] Gunma-chan
Dad gave me a spare set of keys
because he said you can be
[07:20] Gunma-chan
a bit forgetful and might lock us out.
[07:23] Akio
Wow!
[07:24] Akio
Thank goodness for eldest kids
who don't trust their siblings!
[07:35] Akio
Since I'm the only one who can drive,
this is where I need to shine!
[07:46] Meemi
We've barely moved...
[07:49] Aoma
I guess it's fine as long
as we get home by tonight.
[07:52] Gunma-chan
Uncle Akio worked too hard today.
[07:55] Narrator
Uncle Akio must be grateful
to be surrounded by such nice kids.

Hello!
[08:19] Mini Haniwa
We've met a few times before.
[08:21] Mini Haniwa
You may remember me as "Mini Haniwa".
[08:23] Mini Haniwa
What's that?
[08:24] Mini Haniwa
It's not the usual setup
and there's no Gunma-chan, you say?
[08:30] Mini Haniwa
...You're right.
[08:31] Mini Haniwa
Gunma-chan isn't around,
but I think we'll be able to see him soon.

Incoming request from Gunma-chan.
[08:41] Announcement
Those with the role of Imaginary Friend,
please head to the real world.
[08:45] Mini Haniwa
Roger that!
[08:47] Mini Haniwa
Gunma-chan's imaginary friend
here, reporting for duty!
[08:58] Mini Haniwa
Hello.
[08:59] Gunma-chan
Hello.
[09:00] Mini Haniwa
Sounds like you needed me.
Are you lonely again?
[09:05] Gunma-chan
...Can you tell?
[09:06] Mini Haniwa
I can.
[09:15] Mini Haniwa
What's the matter?
[09:18] Gunma-chan
I have fun every day.
[09:20] Mini Haniwa
That's wonderful.
[09:23] Gunma-chan
But... sometimes...
[09:24] Mini Haniwa
Sometimes?
[09:27] Gunma-chan
I feel a small hole
in the middle of my heart.
[09:32] Gunma-chan
When that happens,
I start to not like myself,
[09:36] Gunma-chan
and I feel like not doing anything.
[09:39] Mini Haniwa
Gunma-chan, that's...
[09:42] Gunma-chan
Yeah?
[09:44] Mini Haniwa
...very normal.
[09:46] Gunma-chan
It is?
[09:47] Mini Haniwa
Very common. Happens to everyone.
[09:50] Gunma-chan
Oh, okay.
[09:51] Gunma-chan
I thought it was Gunma-chan being weird...
[09:55] Mini Haniwa
Whether you're a child or an adult,
[09:57] Mini Haniwa
life can feel full and fun,
but it also comes with struggles.
[10:03] Mini Haniwa
And it's very normal to feel a bit down
when we encounter those times.
[10:09] Mini Haniwa
It would be nice if we could
live life smiling all the time,
[10:12] Mini Haniwa
but even if we can't,
that's not a bad thing at all.
[10:15] Gunma-chan
Really?
[10:17] Mini Haniwa
Even as your imaginary friend,
I find myself down sometimes, too.
[10:25] Gunma-chan
What do you do when that happens?
[10:27] Mini Haniwa
I do this.
[10:32] Mini Haniwa
This is my imaginary friend,
Mini Mini Gunma-chan.
[10:36] Mini Mini Gunma-chan
Hello.
[10:37] Gunma-chan
Hello.
[10:39] Mini Haniwa
It's nice to have company even when
you don't feel like talking to anyone.
[10:45] Narrator
This may seem a bit out there,
[10:47] Narrator
but as they say, people
are full of contradictions.
[10:51] Mini Mini Gunma-chan
I'm a great listener!
Catch ya soon! Bye-bye!
[10:58] Gunma-chan
I didn't know that Mini Haniwa-san
had friends other than Gunma-chan.
[11:04] Mini Haniwa
It's hard for one person
to know everything about someone.
[11:08] Mini Haniwa
Actually, there's quite a bit we don't know
about ourselves, either.
[11:12] Gunma-chan
Really?
[11:13] Mini Haniwa
Yes!
[11:14] Mini Haniwa
Same goes for your Dad and Mom,
[11:17] Mini Haniwa
Yuumi-chan, Aoma, Meemi,
Haniwa-san and Daruma-san...
[11:22] Mini Haniwa
You have many people
on your side, don't you?
[11:25] Gunma-chan
I sure do.
[11:27] Mini Haniwa
I think they all love you very much.
[11:31] Gunma-chan
I dunno...
[11:32] Mini Haniwa
Of course they do!
And you love them too, right?
[11:38] Gunma-chan
Yeah!
[11:39] Mini Haniwa
Even if that "love" takes a back
seat every now and then, it's okay.
[11:43] Mini Haniwa
Just caring about them is enough.
[11:46] Gunma-chan
Okay... that makes me kinda happy.
[11:50] Mini Haniwa
No problem has a simple solution.
[11:53] Mini Haniwa
I hope you can take the time
to find your answer slowly and kindly.
[11:57] Gunma-chan
Yeah, me too!
[11:59] Narrator
In that moment,
[12:01] Narrator
Gunma-chan found himself feeling
a little better after being down.
[12:16] Gunma-chan
Gunma Power!
[12:25] Mini Haniwa
I'm just as much a part
of Gunma-chan as you are,
[12:28] Mini Haniwa
so Gunma Power doesn't work on me.
[12:33] Gunma-chan
Oh...
[12:35] Mini Haniwa
Personally,
I'm fine with deviating from
[12:37] Mini Haniwa
the original plot as long
as the viewers have fun...
[12:39] Mini Haniwa
But it's important
as an adult to follow the rules.
[12:43] Gunma-chan
Being a grown-up sounds hard.
[12:46] Mini Haniwa
The thing is, kids don't have to
do anything to become an adult.
[12:51] Gunma-chan
I didn't know that!
[12:53] Mini Haniwa
Yup, people become adults
without even realizing it.
[12:58] Gunma-chan
That's kinda sad...
[13:00] Mini Haniwa
In fact, whether you struggle
doesn't have much to do with it.
[13:04] Gunma-chan
What?!
[13:05] Mini Haniwa
But it's still important to experience it.
[13:08] Gunma-chan
Which is it?
[13:10] Mini Haniwa
That's up for you to decide, too!
[13:13] Gunma-chan
That sounds hard...
[13:15] Mini Haniwa
And also easy!
[13:24] Mini Haniwa
Alright, then! I should get going now.
[13:27] Gunma-chan
See you soon!
[13:36] Mini Haniwa B
Well? How was Gunma-chan?
[13:39] Mini Haniwa
We had a nice, long talk
and he felt much better!
[13:42] Mini Haniwa B
That's good!
[13:43] Mini Haniwa
You know, it's not so much us making him
feel better, but the other way around.
[13:51] Mini Haniwa B
Good job today!
[13:52] Mini Haniwa
See you tomorrow!
[13:53] Narrator
You see, the more you learn about the world,
[13:57] Narrator
the more we realize
how little we actually know.
[13:59] Gunma-chan
Thank you for this meal!

Now, let's demonstrate
the animation process.
[15:33] Haniwa E
This is the screenwriter.
[15:35] Gunma-chan
But there's no drawing.
[15:37] Haniwa E
First, the screenwriter creates
the overall plot and writes it out.
[15:42] Haniwa E
This is called the "script".
[15:44] Gunma-chan
Cool.
[15:45] Gunma-chan
Funny how it's not written
on paper with a pencil.
[15:48] Haniwa E
We live in the 21st century, Gunma-chan.
[15:51] Writer Haniwa
Uhhm... Err... There!
[15:55] Writer Haniwa
Finished...
[15:58] Gunma-chan
It's full of words...
[16:01] Haniwa E
This is the screenplay.
[16:03] Haniwa E
The next phase is the storyboard.
[16:06] Gunma-chan
...Skateboard?
[16:08] Haniwa E
It's like a blueprint to make animations.
This is my work as the Producer.
[16:14] Gunma-chan
Producer?
[16:16] Haniwa E
It's the main person responsible
for creating animations at studios.
[16:21] Gunma-chan

Funny how it's not written
on paper with a pencil.
[16:26] Haniwa E
We live in the 21st century, Gunma-chan.
[16:29] Haniwa E
Umm... Let's make this... No, wait...
[16:35] Gunma-chan
What's wrong?
[16:37] Haniwa E
I'm facing some difficult decisions.
[16:40] Haniwa E
Should it be this
angle... Or maybe this one...
[16:43] Haniwa E
Which is it...
[16:45] Haniwa E
Wait, should this even be set in the day?
[16:46] Haniwa E
Or should it be night?
Rain? Snow? During winter?
[16:48] Haniwa E
Is it even set in the right place?
[16:49] Haniwa E
A height difference, or no, distance...
[16:51] Haniwa E
What's the best choice?
What's the right answer?
[16:54] Gunma-chan
Probably whatever makes the best story.
[17:02] Production Haniwa
Hi, sir.
[17:04] Production Haniwa

I'm fine!
[17:21] Production Haniwa
I just deal with Producers who say they'll be done
tomorrow only to be five days late to the deadline...
[17:25] Production Haniwa
Or oversleep and get
to the dubbing sessions late,
[17:27] Production Haniwa
or those who accidentally save data
to the wrong files, that's all.
[17:30] Production Haniwa
I'm totally fine!

Wow, there's so many of them!
[18:14] Haniwa E
This is the main area
of animation, after all.
[18:16] Haniwa E
Animators who work on illustrations
and animators who work
[18:18] Haniwa E
on videos both work here,
along with the Animation Director.
[18:21] Gunma-chan
Funny how it's not written
on paper with a pencil.
[18:23] Haniwa E
We live in the 21st century, Gunma-chan.
[18:36] Haniwa E
Roughly 1,500 illustrations are necessary
for a seven minute animation.
[18:40] Haniwa E
These people are responsible
for every single one of them.
[18:44] Haniwa E
What's the matter?
[18:46] Gunma-chan
Why does everyone have manga
and dolls and stuff on their desk?
[18:52] Gunma-chan
Even though... they're all... adults..?
[18:55] Haniwa E
Oh, umm... they're for... r-reference..?
[18:58] Haniwa E
Right! Reference when they draw!
[19:03] Gunma-chan
Huh... really...
[19:05] Haniwa E
Well, there are many reasons.
[19:08] Haniwa E
Generally, animators draw illustrations
based on the earlier meeting.
[19:12] Gunma-chan
Illustrations?
[19:12] Haniwa E
They'll be the basis for moving animations.
[19:17] Haniwa E
Next, the Animation
Director will make edits.
[19:20] Gunma-chan
Hey, it changed a bit.
[19:22] Haniwa E
And now, it becomes a video.
[19:24] Gunma-chan
Wow, it moved!
[19:26] Haniwa E
Then, the material is sent
to another location for the next phase.
[19:30] Haniwa E
This is the Art Background team.
[19:36] Haniwa E
This is the Art Finishing team.
[19:44] Haniwa E

You'll pay for this!

Haniwa-ha-ha-ha!
[20:44] Haniwa E
Man, am I glad we finished on time!
[20:46] Production Haniwa
Barely, as always.
[20:48] Gunma-chan
That's hard work.
[20:50] Haniwas
Yes, it is.
[20:52] Gunma-chan
Then why do you do it?
[20:55] Haniwa E
That's because...
[20:56] Haniwa E
we want to make kids who love anime smile!
[21:00] Production Haniwa
If we can make it a global show and
the characters are loved all over the world,
[21:05] Production Haniwa
everyone will be happy.
[21:07] Gunma-chan
I hope so.
[21:09] Narrator
I hope so, too.
[21:12] Haniwa E
By the way, did you all notice
that I'm the fifth Haniwa?
[21:16] Haniwa E
Looks like I've found my best position.
[21:20] Narrator
Did you hear that? Good for him!

I've actually been keeping
a secret from you all.
[23:07] Narrator
And that secret is... I've found
the key to Hiragana Gunma!
[23:10] Narrator
As much as I want to share it with you now,
it's a secret until next week.
[23:14] Narrator
I can give you one hint:
it's not over until it's over!
[23:20] Narrator
Oh, did I mention the next
