    "Aoma's Manga Project."
[01:34] Aoma
    Gunma-chan, I've decided... to
    become a manga author!
[01:40] Aoma
    Hey, you're gonna become one
    with me, you know!
[01:43] Gunma-chan
    Really? I didn't know that.
[01:46] Aoma
    Well, I just announced it.
[01:48] Gunma-chan
    Oh, gotcha...
[01:49] Meemi
    What are you talking about?
[01:51] Aoma
    Don't worry, Meemi.
    You're a part of this project, too!
[01:55] Meemi
    I don't remember asking.
[01:57] Aoma
    Come on, hear me out.
[01:59] Aoma
    I'll be the manga artist Aoma...
[02:02] Aoma
    but I won't be drawing the manga.
[02:04] Gunma-chan
    Huh?! Then who will?
[02:07] Aoma
    You, Gunma-chan!
[02:08] Gunma-chan
    What?! Really?
[02:10] Aoma
    All you need to do is draw.
    Meemi will write the story.
[02:15] Meemi
    What? Then what are you gonna do?
[02:18] Aoma
    I'll be the project leader...
[02:22] Aoma
    The producer!
[02:24] Gunma-chan+Meemi
    Producer...?
[02:26] Aoma
    Yeah.
[02:27] Aoma
    The three of us will work together
    to make a manga series,
[02:31] Aoma
    and I'll promote it into a huge hit.
[02:32] Sign
    Cinema
[02:32] Aoma
    It'll get adapted into an anime,
    movie, or stage production!
[02:35] Aoma
    We can even develop merch
    and make boatloads of money!
[02:40] Gunma-chan
    Awesome!
[02:41] Meemi
    Sure, but what will it be about?
[02:43] Aoma
    Meemi, that's your job to figure out.
[02:46] Meemi
    Huh?
[02:47] Aoma
    I told you.
[02:48] Aoma
    This is a project we
    have to work on together.
[02:51] Aoma
    I'll be the one to judge
    whether your story is any good.
[02:56] Aoma
    Since I'm the producer and all.
[02:58] Meemi
    Don't you think that's a bit too convenient?
[03:00] Aoma
    It's all about giving
    people jobs they're best at.
[03:02] Aoma
    And producers decide where to put people.
[03:05] Meemi
    Fine then, Producer. Where's my allowance?
[03:08] Aoma
    Allowance?
[03:09] Meemi
    That's crucial to any type of work.
[03:12] Aoma
    No allowance for now!
[03:15] Meemi
    Get real! You can't make
    people work for free!
[03:19] Aoma
    Only for now! For now...
[03:22] Aoma
    After it sells, we can share the profits.
[03:24] Meemi
    That's hardly reliable.
[03:27] Aoma
    I'm sure we can do it if we work together!
[03:29] Meemi
    This is a total joke! I quit!
[03:35] Aoma
    You sure about that?
[03:36] Aoma
    Say I ask someone else to write the
    script and it becomes a huge hit.
[03:40] Aoma
    We'd be able to buy whatever we want.
[03:44] Meemi
    Whatever we want...
[03:53] Aoma
    You could buy as much
    Meows merch as you want.
[03:56] Meemi
    I'll do it! I'll think of the story!
[03:59] Meemi
    You better do your part
    and make sure it sells!
[04:02] Aoma
    You can count on me!
[04:04] Meemi
    Alright! Let's start writing!
[04:07] Meemi
    What about a story set in
    Katakana Gunma starring GUNMA-CHAN?
[04:10] Sign
    GUNMA-CHAN
[04:11] Aoma
    I see the vision!
[04:12] Aoma
    Gunma-chan, let's sketch our lead character!
[04:15] Gunma-chan
    Mkay, let's see...
[04:17] Gunma-chan
    There! How's that?
[04:19] Aoma
    Umm... Okay! This is fine!
[04:21] Meemi
    Are you sure?
[04:22] Gunma-chan
    I'll keep drawing!
[04:24] Aoma
    Perfect! Let's move on to design.
[04:27] Meemi
    We can add the characters MEEMI and AOMA!
[04:29] Sign
    MEEMI
[04:29] Sign
    AOMA
[04:30] Aoma
    Familiar characters will
    help us gain an audience!
[04:40] Meemi
    Are you sure this design will be popular?
[04:43] Aoma
    We gotta make sure it's original.
[04:45] Aoma
    It looks like nothing we've
    seen before. That's talent!
[04:48] GUNMA-CHAN
    I thought so!
[04:49] MEEMI
    Now what?
[04:51] AOMA
    If you think of a great story,
    we can make it a hit series.
[04:56] Meemi
    Umm...
[04:58] Meemi
    GUNMA-CHAN, MEEMI, and AOMA
    are all rulers of their own separate universes!
[05:05] Sign
    GUNMA-CHAN Universe
[05:09] Sign
    AOMA Universe
[05:12] Sign
    MEEMI Universe
[05:16] Meemi
    And they have to fight each
    other in a brutal battle
[05:19] Meemi
    over the golden kettle to rule the entire world!
[05:22] Gunma-chan
    That's really intense.
[05:24] Aoma
    Kids love battle manga!
[05:27] GUNMA-CHAN
    Wah!
[05:29] AOMA
    Gah!
[05:30] MEEMI
    Take that!
[05:34] AOMA
    Come on, GUNMA-CHAN, be serious!
[05:38] MEEMI
    AOMA, you don't look so great either.
[05:43] GUNMA-CHAN
    I'll send you all to the underworld!
[05:55] MEEMI
    GUNMA-CHAN, say that again.
[05:57] GUNMA-CHAN
    I'll send you all to the underworld!
[06:03] AOMA
    I can't take the story
    seriously with this art style.
[06:06] MEEMI
    You're right.
[06:07] MEEMI
    Let's shift gears to
    a lighthearted comedy manga.
[06:10] AOMA
    GUNMA-CHAN, do something funny.
[06:13] GUNMA-CHAN
    Huh? Umm...
[06:22] GUNMA-CHAN
    Something funny!
[06:24] MEEMI+AOMA
    Not funny!
[06:26] GUNMA-CHAN
    Umm...
[06:36] GUNMA-CHAN
    Something funny!
[06:39] MEEMI+AOMA
    Not funny!
[06:48] GUNMA-CHAN
    Something funny!
[06:50] MEEMI+AOMA
    Not funny!
[06:52] GUNMA-CHAN
    Something funny!
[06:54] MEEMI+AOMA
    Not funny!
[06:55] GUNMA-CHAN
    Something funny!
[06:56] MEEMI+AOMA
    Not funny!
[06:58] GUNMA-CHAN
    Something funny!
[07:02] GUNMA-CHAN
    I've heard even unfunny things can become
    funny if you do it over and over again.
[07:07] MEEMI+AOMA
    No, it's not funny!
[07:10] GUNMA-CHAN
    Gunma-chan's done playing now. Bye...
[07:16] AOMA
    Hey!
[07:17] MEEMI
    I quit, too.
[07:21] AOMA
    I can't make manga
    without a writer or artist.
[07:26] AOMA
    There's no point in this
    project... I guess I quit.
[07:34] Meemi
    Honestly, how can you be a manga
    author without making it yourself?
[07:38] Aoma
    I told you!
[07:39] Aoma
    As the Executive Producer,
    it's my job to promote the manga!
[07:42] Aoma
    My actions will make it a global
    comic that reaches worldwide...
[07:49] Gunma-chan
    You should write it yourself.
[07:51] Narrator
    Precisely.
[07:54] Aoma
    It wasn't a bad idea, it was just
    a decade ahead of its time!
[07:59] Narrator
    We've all certainly heard that one before.

    "Gunma-chan Learns About the Internet."
[08:24] Wise One
    Gunma-chan?
[08:25] Gunma-chan
    Yeah?
[08:27] Wise One
    Aren't you paying me
    a visit to ask a question?
[08:31] Gunma-chan
    Not really.
[08:34] Wise One
    Oh! Why not?
[08:36] Gunma-chan
    I borrowed my dad's tablet today, so...
[08:40] Wise One
    Tablet?
[08:41] Gunma-chan
    As long as I have this, I can search
    for any information I want.
[08:45] Gunma-chan
    So I don't have to ask
    the Wise One any questions.
[08:49] Gunma-chan
    And I can listen to music and watch videos!
[08:53] Wise One
    ...How convenient.
[08:55] Gunma-chan
    Yeah!
[08:59] Wise One
    But then why would you need to come here?
[09:02] Gunma-chan
    Cause I'd get in trouble if I
    were on the tablet all day at home.
[09:07] Wise One
    Ah, so that's why.
[09:09] Gunma-chan
    Yup.
[09:12] Gunma-chan
    Ohh, so that's what that means!
[09:19] Wise One
    Gunma-chan...
[09:22] Wise One
    Gunma-chan?
[09:25] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, what? I'm kinda busy.
[09:32] Gunma-chan
    Hey, I can't connect to the Wi-Fi!
[09:36] Wise One
    Gunma-chan, you can't connect
    to the internet without Wi-Fi.
[09:40] Narrator
    "Wi-Fi" is a wireless way
    to connect to the internet.
[09:44] Sign
    Hello
    Gunma-chan
[09:47] Narrator
    There are plenty of Wi-Fi signals emitted
    around us so we can connect to the internet.
[09:54] Wise One
    Let's have a little chat about the internet.
[09:57] Gunma-chan
    What kinda chat?
[09:59] Wise One
    The internet is very convenient,
    but it's actually very hard to use.
[10:03] Gunma-chan
    Nuh-uh! It's super easy!
[10:06] Wise One
    Yes, the "super easy" part
    is precisely what's so difficult.
[10:11] Gunma-chan
    What do you mean?
[10:12] Wise One
    It's only been about thirty years since
    we've all been able to use the internet.
[10:18] Wise One
    There are actually a lot of
    issues around the internet.
[10:21] Gunma-chan
    Really? I didn't know that.
[10:23] Wise One
    Whether the computer and internet can make
    people happy is up to those who use it.
[10:32] Gunma-chan
    I've never even thought about that.
[10:34] Wise One
    Of course not.
[10:35] Wise One
    The internet already existed
    when you were born.
[10:40] Wise One
    If there were a sandbox,
    it's only natural for children to play there.
[10:40] Sign
    Safe Sandbox
[10:43] Wise One
    They won't care to know who exactly made it.
[10:43] Sign
    Creator Unknown
[10:46] Gunma-chan
    Probably not.
[10:48] Wise One
    But that's only given
    the fact that it's safe.
[10:52] Wise One
    With the internet, there's no assurance
    that the information you find is true.
[10:57] Gunma-chan
    What?! There isn't?!
[11:00] Wise One
    No.
[11:01] Wise One
    You might find it surprising, but
    it includes both true and false information.
[11:05] Gunma-chan
    How can you tell which is which?
[11:07] Wise One
    Say one source on
    the internet claimed I were green,
[11:07] Sign
    Wise One
[11:10] Sign
    Who is the Wise One?
[11:12] Wise One
    and they even included a picture.
[11:12] Sign
    Known for his green body
[11:13] Sign
    Loves to party
[11:14] Wise One
    What would you think?
[11:14] Sign
    Hates reading
[11:16] Gunma-chan
    There's no way that's true!
[11:18] Wise One
    Exactly!
[11:19] Wise One
    You would see right through
    that since you know me personally.
[11:23] Gunma-chan
    For sure.
[11:24] Wise One
    But, for those who don't know me,
[11:27] Wise One
    there's no way to know whether
    that information is true or not.
[11:31] Gunma-chan
    Oh, yeah... That's hard.
[11:34] Wise One
    Indeed.
[11:36] Wise One
    The internet can be a fun
    and convenient place,
[11:39] Wise One
    but we must be careful how we use it.
[11:41] Gunma-chan
    Hmm...
[11:43] Wise One
    What's the matter, Gunma-chan?
[11:51] Wise One
    Gunma-chan?!
[11:55] Gunma-chan
    Maybe it doesn't need to be hard, just fun!
[12:03] Gunma-chan
    Is that wrong?
[12:05] Wise One
    Not at all. Right you are.
[12:08] Gunma-chan
    Really? I thought you'd be mad.
[12:11] Wise One
    Between the two of us,
    we're bound to see things differently.
[12:16] Wise One
    And there's no guarantee
    that my opinions are correct.
[12:18] Gunma-chan
    Really?
[12:20] Narrator
    Very flexible thinking!
    How wise of the Wise One.
[12:24] Gunma-chan
    He sure is!
[12:25] Wise One
    Gunma-chan, who are you talking to?
[12:29] Gunma-chan
    It's a secret!
[12:30] Wise One
    Perfectly alright.
[12:31] Wise One
    Which reminds me, there are
    no secrets on the internet!
[12:35] Gunma-chan
    What do you mean?
[12:36] Sign
    User Name
[12:36] Wise One
    Even if you post something
    on the internet anonymously,
[12:39] Wise One
    it's not as though people
    can never find out it's you.

    Disclosure of Information
[12:51] Narrator
    All you need is for internet providers
    to disclose information.
[12:54] Wise One
    So you must remember to never write badly
    about people or post false information.
[13:00] Wise One
    Can you promise me that one thing?
[13:03] Gunma-chan
    I'll never do it. I promise!
[13:06] Narrator
    The internet is a fun form of media,
    but our relationship with it isn't so simple.
[13:12] Gunma-chan
    I guess there's been a bunch of changes since
    the computer and internet were invented.
[13:17] Narrator
    This depiction may be a bit exaggerated,
[13:20] Narrator
    but the internet impacts our planet,
    and even Hiragana Gunma.
[13:26] Narrator
    And it's up to us to decide what
    that impact will be.
[13:29] Gunma-chan
    That's a lot of responsibility!
[13:32] Wise One
    Who are you talking to?
[13:34] Gunma-chan
    It's a secret!
[13:35] Wise One
    I see.
[13:37] Wise One
    I have my own fair share
    of secrets, you know.
[13:40] Gunma-chan
    Are they on the internet?
[13:42] Wise One
    I'm afraid not.
[13:43] Wise One
    My secrets are written
    in my secret notebook.
[13:47] Gunma-chan
    Cool! I wanna read that!
[13:50] Wise One
    You may one day get to see it
    as we spend time together like this.
[13:55] Gunma-chan
    That's exciting!
[13:58] Wise One
    The internet is certainly fun,
[13:59] Wise One
    but isn't talking with
    each other like this fun, too?
[14:03] Gunma-chan
    Super fun!
[14:04] Wise One
    Alright then...
[14:05] Gunma-chan+Wise One
    Let's sing!
[14:09] Gunma-chan
    Let's dance!
[14:12] Wise One
    Let's eat!
[14:15] Gunma-chan+Wise One
    Let's rest.
[14:21] Wise One
    Good morning.
[14:24] Gunma-chan
    Morning!
[14:26] Gunma-chan
    Bye, Wise One!
[14:29] Wise One
    See you soon, Gunma-chan.
[14:31] Gunma-chan
    It's so much fun to talk with you, Wise One!
[14:36] Wise One
    How nice of you to say that.
[14:38] Narrator
    Great job, Wise One!

    It's a Ghost
[14:50] Gunma-chan
    "It's a Ghost!"
[15:09] Gunma-chan
    I wanna go to the restroom,
    but I'm scared...
[15:26] Gunma-chan
    What's wrong...?
[15:44] Narrator
    The two of them went on
    to scream like this for quite a while.
[15:47] Narrator
    Let's fast forward a bit.
[15:51] Ghost
    I'm Ghost. I was crying
    because I got lost so late at night.
[15:57] Gunma-chan
    Oh, okay. I'm Gunma-chan.
[16:00] Ghost
    Good evening, Gunma-chan.
[16:02] Gunma-chan
    Good evening.
[16:05] Gunma-chan
    Um, can you do me a favor...?
[16:09] Ghost
    What's that?
[16:11] Gunma-chan
    Can you go to the restroom with me?
[16:15] Ghost
    This late at night?! But it's too scary...
[16:20] Gunma-chan
    Not if we're together.
[16:24] Ghost
    I'm scared...
[16:27] Ghost
    Hurry and come out, Gunma-chan!
[16:35] Gunma-chan
    Phew, I feel so much better!
[16:37] Gunma-chan
    Thanks, Ghost-san!
[16:38] Ghost
    That was scary, but I'm glad I could help!
[16:46] Gunma-chan
    This way, it's not scary.
[16:48] Ghost
    Yeah, you're right!
[16:51] Gunma-chan
    I used to be scared of ghosts,
[16:54] Gunma-chan
    but being with Ghost-san,
    I'm not so scared of ghosts anymore!
[16:58] Ghost
    Me, too!
[16:59] Ghost
    I'm scared of everyone else,
    but I'm not scared of Gunma-chan.
[17:04] Gunma-chan
    Wanna stick together while we sleep?
[17:06] Ghost
    Yeah! Let's stick together!
[17:12] Ghost
    I get told to scare people, but I really
    don't like doing that kind of stuff...
[17:20] Gunma-chan
    I used to be scared of ghosts,
    but I'm not scared of Ghost-san.
[17:25] Ghost
    I'm glad to hear that!
[17:28] Gunma-chan
    Good!
[17:30] Ghost
    This is fun!
[17:32] Gunma-chan
    Super fun!
[17:33] Ghost
    It's much better than scaring people.
[17:36] Gunma-chan
    It's much more fun
    than being scared of ghosts.
[17:55] Gunma-chan
    Huh?
[17:59] Gunma-chan
    And then, Ghost-san and I went
    to the restroom together.
[18:04] Mom
    Sounds like you had
    a funny dream, Gunma-chan.
[18:08] Gunma-chan
    It wasn't a dream, I really met them!
[18:12] Yuumi
    I'm jealous of your imagination, Onii-chan.
[18:17] Gunma-chan
    But it's true...
[18:19] Dad
    Come on, guys. Let kids be kids.
[18:32] Gunma-chan
    I really did see a ghost...
[18:34] Ghost
    Gunma-chan...
[18:37] Ghost
    Gunma-chan!
[18:39] Ghost
    I can't go to the restroom alone.
    Can you come with me?
[18:45] Gunma-chan
    Okay!
[18:51] Gunma-chan
    Hurry and come out!
[18:58] Ghost
    Thanks, Gunma-chan.
[19:00] Gunma-chan
    You're welcome, Ghost-san.
[19:03] Ghost
    I went home yesterday and
    told everyone about our adventure.
[19:07] Ghost
    They were really proud of me.
[19:09] Gunma-chan
    Really? That's nice.
[19:12] Ghost
    Did you tell your family about me, too?
[19:15] Gunma-chan
    Yeah! But they didn't believe me...
[19:19] Ghost
    I'm a ghost, so I can't be around
    in the daytime... sorry.
[19:23] Gunma-chan
    That's okay, as long as I can see you now.
[19:27] Ghost
    That makes me real happy!
[19:30] Gunma-chan
    I'm happy, too!
[19:33] Ghost
    Um, Gunma-chan, can I ask you a favor?
[19:38] Gunma-chan
    Sure, what is it?
[19:40] Ghost
    Can you... be my friend?
[19:44] Gunma-chan
    What?!
[19:46] Ghost
    I'm sorry, never mind!
    It was silly of me to ask...
[19:51] Gunma-chan
    No!
[19:52] Gunma-chan
    I meant we're already friends.
[19:55] Ghost
    What?!
[19:58] Narrator
    That was when Gunma-chan was overcome
    with emotion and released his Gunma Power...
[20:01] Gunma-chan
    Gunma Power!
[20:08] Ghost
    Wow! Gunma Power is so cool!
[20:11] Ghost
    I feel a rush of energy!
[20:13] Gunma-chan
    That's good!
[20:14] Ghost
    Yeah, it's great!
[20:16] Ghost
    We're best friends now!
[20:18] Gunma-chan
    Yeah, we're best friends.
[20:20] Narrator
    "Best friends"... What a beautiful phrase.
[20:25] Ghost
    I just happened to come
    to this house, but I'm so happy.
[20:28] Gunma-chan
    Me, too!
[20:32] Ghost
    Promise me we'll be friends forever!
[20:35] Gunma-chan
    Sure! I promise.
[20:39] Ghost
    One day, I'll be sure to scare you!
[20:44] Gunma-chan
    I dunno if I like that, but okay!
[20:48] Ghost
    If we ever fight, we have to make up.
[20:51] Gunma-chan
    There's so much we have to do.
[20:53] Ghost
    I'll stay in this house forever,
    so please don't get rid of me!
[20:58] Gunma-chan
    Okay!
[21:00] Narrator
    There certainly are many ways
    to meet new friends.
[21:05] Narrator
    Although I'm not sure Gunma-chan will ever
    get to introduce Ghost-san to his family...
[21:10] Narrator
    I'm sure their friendship
    will last for eternity.
