[00:31] ---
    Smile!
[00:35] ---
    It just has to be your
    face, okay? Try smiling.
[00:38] ---
    Just my face?
[00:39] ---
    Right. We'll start with just the form.
[00:45] ---
    How is this, Master?
[00:52] ---
    Of course that won't work!
[00:55] ---
    What are you doing?
[00:57] ---
    I was teaching Ikaros how to smile.
[01:00] ---
    How to smile?
[01:02] ---
    She's says she wants
    to be more human.
[01:05] ---
    So I tell her she has to at least
    be able to make herself smile.
[01:09] ---
    A smile doesn't necessarily
    have to be from the heart.
[01:12] ---
    Just start by imitating
    the expression, and smile.
[01:15] ---
    Do it like you're beaming. Beam!
[01:18] ---
    Grin.
[01:21] ---
    You can't just say you're grinning!
[01:23] ---
    You haven't got it at all!
[01:25] ---
    Smiley.
[01:26] ---
    You're just saying it! That's not a smile!
[01:28] ---
    Cheese.
[01:33] ---
    And I'm... supposed to
    be here to take Alpha back.
[01:39] ---
    I can hear my heart bell
[01:42] ---
    What could it mean?
[01:45] ---
    A bell in my heart is ringing
[01:50] ---
    Heaven's Lost Property
[01:54] ---
    It all started way back then
    (ringin' ringin')
[02:00] ---
    Ever since before we were born
    (ringin' ringin')
[02:05] ---
    you were destined to appear out of nowhere,
[02:11] ---
    right before my eyes,
[02:14] ---
    I'm sure of it
[02:16] ---
    My wishes and ambitions and daydreams
[02:22] ---
    take me to an unknown
    level and knock on a door
[02:28] ---
    You give me the key and the future
    I need to take flight (with your wings)
[02:34] ---
    I can hear my heart bell
[02:37] ---
    There's no stopping it
[02:40] ---
    It's a sign, rung by an
    angel, saying "I love you"
[02:46] ---
    Can you hear my heart bell?
[02:49] ---
    What could it mean?
[02:51] ---
    A bell in my heart that I've
    never heard before is ringing
[02:56] ---
    But even so, you don't suspect a thing
[03:11] ---
    The Age of Exploration.
[03:13] ---
    The Europeans had
    discovered the New World,
[03:16] ---
    and in the name of colonialism,
    underwent global expansion.
[03:20] ---
    Japan would not remain
    uninvolved, either.
[03:23] ---
    At the time, large numbers of
    Japanese were sent to Europe,
[03:27] ---
    and treated as slaves.
[03:30] ---
    When their leader,
    Toyotomi Hideyoshi, learned of this,
[03:33] ---
    he banished the Jesuits from the country.
[03:36] ---
    This was the beginning of
    Japan's isolationist policy.
[03:40] ---
    Behind the glamorous foreign
    diplomacy lurked a slave trade.
[03:44] ---
    People's greed made
    them treat their fellow men
[03:49] ---
    as livestock, or pack animals.
[03:51] ---
    Perhaps, in the New World
    floating in the sky,
[03:55] ---
    a new class of slaves has been created,
[03:57] ---
    to satisfy the greed
    of their leaders, as well.
[04:02] ---
    Chains of No Escape
[04:06] ---
    Huh? How to smile?
[04:08] ---
    That's right. She can't smile,
    no matter what we try.
[04:11] ---
    Can you think of any way?
[04:13] ---
    Hmm, the thing is, smiles are
    something that happen spontaneously.
[04:17] ---
    I know! Ikaros, do a banzai cheer for me.
[04:21] ---
    A banzai cheer?
[04:23] ---
    Yes!
[04:24] ---
    Coochie-coochie-coochie!
[04:26] ---
    Well? It tickles, right?
[04:29] ---
    Ikaros, even you
    have to laugh at this...
[04:32] ---
    What?! What's wrong?!
[04:34] ---
    Looks like she's ticklish.
[04:36] ---
    And that reaction isn't weird?
[04:37] ---
    No! No! No!
[04:40] ---
    Sohara, your tickling
    method is not up to par!
[04:44] ---
    Allow me to demonstrate!
    Coochie-coochie-coochie-coochie!
[04:48] ---
    This is tickling!
[04:49] ---
    Tomo...!
[04:50] ---
    Well? How about that, huh?
    Stop it!
[04:59] ---
    U-Uh-oh...
[05:03] ---
    What do you think you're doing?!
[05:06] ---
    I do not understand.
[05:08] ---
    What can I do that will make me smile?
[05:12] ---
    I know!
[05:13] ---
    What?
[05:14] ---
    How to smile?
[05:17] ---
    Could you give her some advice?
[05:28] ---
    Takehara sure was funny earlier, huh?
[05:46] ---
    I guess it was no help asking
    someone who never smiles, huh?
[05:50] ---
    Let's go, Alpha.
[05:52] ---
    What should I do so that I can smile?
[05:54] ---
    Beats me.
[05:56] ---
    My... if it isn't Ikaros and Nymph.
[06:03] ---
    How to smile, huh?
[06:06] ---
    Yes.
[06:07] ---
    Student Council Room
[06:07] ---
    It is difficult.
[06:09] ---
    World Domination
[06:09] ---
    Like, say, at what times
    do you smile, Chairman?
[06:15] ---
    Let's see...
[06:16] ---
    When I get in a really solid
    whack with a flyswatter, I'd say...
[06:20] ---
    Like, on a person.
[06:39] ---
    St-Stop!!
[06:59] ---
    Tomoki...?
[07:00] ---
    Now that's hilarious.
[07:07] ---
    Good grief,
[07:08] ---
    what am I going to do with you?
[07:10] ---
    I am sorry.
[07:11] ---
    Oh, it's all right, isn't it?
[07:13] ---
    Your life wasn't actually in peril.
[07:16] ---
    It is not all right!
[07:17] ---
    And Chairman, please don't
    tell her to do anything weird!
[07:20] ---
    So, have you gotten to where
    you can smile at all, Alpha?
[07:24] ---
    Mm-mm... not yet.
[07:29] ---
    Hmm, come to think of it,
    Christmas is almost here.
[07:33] ---
    I know!
[07:34] ---
    This coming Sunday, let's all
    get together at Tomoki's place,
[07:38] ---
    and have a Christmas party!
[07:40] ---
    If we all have a merry old time together,
    it might make Ikaros smile.
[07:46] ---
    Indeed.
[07:47] ---
    Sounds like fun.
[07:48] ---
    Come on, Tomo, let's do it.
[07:51] ---
    I'll have my mom bake a cake.
[07:53] ---
    We'll decorate, and exchange presents!
[07:57] ---
    Yeah, sure.
[08:01] ---
    Okay, Sunday. It's a date!
[08:06] ---
    Why... can I not smile?
[08:14] ---
    I know I removed your
    emotion block a long time ago.
[08:18] ---
    You are an Angeloid specializing in combat,
[08:20] ---
    so maybe that's just how
    your functions in that area are.
[08:23] ---
    I am... a combat model...
[08:26] ---
    Well, being able to
    smile is a simple thing.
[08:29] ---
    You don't need to agonize over it.
[08:31] ---
    It is not simple.
[08:33] ---
    After all, I have not seen
    you smile, either, Nymph.
[08:42] ---
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[08:45] ---
    I have not seen you.
[08:58] ---
    I...
[09:00] ---
    have not seen you smile, Nymph,
[09:06] ---
    in all this time.
[09:11] ---
    You're right. Perhaps we Angeloids
    have never genuinely smiled.
[09:19] ---
    What is more, there is something
    that seems to be on your mind lately.
[09:27] ---
    I do not know what
    that might be, though.
[09:36] ---
    All right, then.
    Let's think about it together.
[09:39] ---
    How can we Angeloids
    manage to smile? Okay?
[09:44] ---
    Mm-hmm.
[09:49] ---
    Ah... I'm so hungry. Hey...
[09:55] ---
    Ikaros...
[09:56] ---
    Yes, Master?
[10:03] ---
    Good... morning...
[10:07] ---
    Master.
[10:08] ---
    Take it easy! Take it easy!
    Remember, she has wings!
[10:12] ---
    Is something... the matter?
[10:15] ---
    N-No...
[10:17] ---
    Her rack is huge! I mean...
[10:19] ---
    Wait, wait, wait!
[10:22] ---
    Just a moment, now...
    Your face is red, Master.
[10:25] ---
    Huh...?
[10:27] ---
    Hey, what have you done?
[10:31] ---
    Your face is hardened like this!
[10:34] ---
    Is that no good? We forced her
    to make that expression,
[10:36] ---
    then solidified it with some
    fixative.
[10:38] ---
    Are you guys idiots?!
[10:40] ---
    Come on, hurry and wash your face!
[10:45] ---
    Tomoki, you were a little
    pleased by that, weren't you?
[10:48] ---
    Sh-Shut up!
[10:49] ---
    Can't you smile when
    you look at me anymore?
[10:52] ---
    N-No...
[10:54] ---
    I know. Why don't you go on a date with me?
[10:56] ---
    If you walk down that
    tree-lined avenue with me,
[10:58] ---
    you might get your smile back.
[10:59] ---
    What is a date?
    You might get your smile back.
[11:05] ---
    Tomoki,
[11:07] ---
    I had a great idea.
[11:10] ---
    Let's all three of us go on a date.
[11:13] ---
    Huh?!
[11:16] ---
    Heaven's Lost Property
[11:22] ---
    You guys don't really know
    what a date means, do you?
[11:26] ---
    Dates have always been something
    that men and women pair up on.
[11:30] ---
    You mean you can't
    do it with three people?
[11:32] ---
    No, that's not what the problem is.
[11:35] ---
    Then it's okay, isn't it?
[11:36] ---
    Sohara did say that
    if we did something fun,
[11:39] ---
    Alpha might manage a smile, right?
[11:42] ---
    Besides...
[11:45] ---
    I'm sure we'll look back fondly on this.
[11:47] ---
    A date with Master...
    What is this? I feel excited.
[11:54] ---
    Ah, fine. Well then,
    I'd like to start our date now.
[11:58] ---
    What do we do on a date?
[12:00] ---
    Well, on a date, we...
[12:04] ---
    Yeah, what do we do, anyway?
[12:08] ---
    Sakurai Tomoki...
[12:10] ---
    has never been
    popular in his entire life.
[12:13] ---
    He has also never had
    any reason to be on a date.
[12:17] ---
    How to Date
[12:19] ---
    Hey, let me see that a minute!
[12:21] ---
    "Take your date shopping.
[12:24] ---
    If you give her something she
    wants as a present,
[12:26] ---
    your stock with her will rise."
[12:28] ---
    That's it!
[12:29] ---
    All right, you guys,
    go buy whatever you like!
[12:36] ---
    Come to think of it,
    Christmas is almost here.
[12:40] ---
    I have to think of
    what presents I should get.
[12:43] ---
    Master, I bought these.
[12:47] ---
    Did you buy the grocer out?!
[12:50] ---
    What's the matter, Nymph?
    Isn't there anything you want to buy?
[12:54] ---
    I was going to buy something...
    but it doesn't matter.
[12:59] ---
    Even if you bought it for me now,
    there wouldn't be any meaning.
[13:06] ---
    "There are many more
    places to take your date.
[13:09] ---
    How about going to a touching movie?"
[13:14] ---
    Were there any movies
    you wanted to see?
[13:16] ---
    The Pink Pantser
[13:17] ---
    How about this?
[13:18] ---
    Absolutely not!
[13:20] ---
    Why not?
[13:21] ---
    Master, how about this?
[13:23] ---
    Watermelonman
[13:26] ---
    Forget about the movie.
    What's next?
[13:29] ---
    "Why not go to a theme park,
[13:31] ---
    where you can rub elbows
    with beloved characters?"
[13:41] ---
    Stop that!
[13:44] ---
    Well, we're already here.
    Let's go ride some of the rides.
[13:55] ---
    Master...
[13:56] ---
    is delighted.
[14:00] ---
    The whole world is spinning around me!
[14:05] ---
    Bleh... I feel sick...
[14:08] ---
    Are you all right?
[14:10] ---
    A date with Master is fun...
[14:15] ---
    but something is not right.
[14:16] ---
    You're so pathetic.
    Come on, we're going to the next place.
[14:20] ---
    Get up, Tomoki.
[14:30] ---
    Commencing system scan...
    No damage to any systems...
[14:33] ---
    Biological structures operating normally...
[14:35] ---
    Reactor operating normally...
[14:37] ---
    All green.
[14:39] ---
    What was that just now?
[14:42] ---
    For a moment, it seemed
    like I felt pain in my reactor...
[14:53] ---
    Wow, amazing!
[14:57] ---
    Well, well, she's finally settled down.
[15:00] ---
    I'm going to go get some tea.
[15:07] ---
    You two take your time looking, okay?
[15:14] ---
    I wish Tomoki had been my master.
[15:18] ---
    But he's not... my master...
[15:23] ---
    Say, Alpha...
[15:26] ---
    Why do you suppose
    these animals are in cages?
[15:31] ---
    Who knows?
[15:33] ---
    Do you suppose these cages...
[15:36] ---
    are something like our collars?
[15:41] ---
    If that's the case,
    they'd want to run away.
[15:46] ---
    Isn't that right, Alpha?
[15:49] ---
    I'm sure that these guys would
    be happier if they got out of here,
[15:53] ---
    and were free.
[15:56] ---
    If they were able to escape,
    do you think Tomoki would be delighted?
[16:01] ---
    Master?
[16:04] ---
    Master... will be delighted...
[16:08] ---
    Say, Alpha...
[16:13] ---
    Whoa, Alpha!
[16:19] ---
    Master...
[16:22] ---
    Master...
[16:25] ---
    will be delighted...
[16:31] ---
    Nothing beats peace and quiet, all right.
[16:43] ---
    It's them! This is definitely
    Ikaros and Nymph's doing!
[16:48] ---
    Hey! Just a minute, you!
[16:52] ---
    Master will be delighted...
[17:00] ---
    Master...
[17:04] ---
    will be delighted...
[17:09] ---
    Take it easy, everyone!
[17:12] ---
    Please, return to your cages!
[17:20] ---
    What? There's a
    naked man inside the park
[17:21] ---
    running around, destroying cages?!
[17:24] ---
    All cars, proceed immediately to the scene!
[17:27] ---
    Repeat, all cars,
    proceed immediately to the scene!
[17:30] ---
    A new terrorist group?
[17:32] ---
    Go to heightened alert status!
[17:34] ---
    Mess with us, will you?!
[17:36] ---
    Damn you!
[17:37] ---
    Take back our peace!
[17:43] ---
    Today, shortly after noon,
    a naked man was allegedly running loose
[17:47] ---
    inside the zoo at a theme park.
[17:50] ---
    I knew he would do
    something like this eventually.
[17:52] ---
    He's really a good person at heart.
[17:55] ---
    Capital punishment!
    I demand capital punishment!
[17:58] ---
    I'm innocent!
[18:04] ---
    I am sorry, Master.
[18:06] ---
    Never mind! We're going home!
[18:09] ---
    We've done plenty of date stuff, right?
[18:12] ---
    There's still something
    missing, isn't there?
[18:14] ---
    Huh? Like what?
[18:17] ---
    At the end of the date, kiss him
[18:19] ---
    Are you dense?!
[18:20] ---
    But it says here that at the
    end of a date, you should kiss.
[18:24] ---
    K-Kissing is only done with the one
    you have in your heart, you know!
[18:28] ---
    Oh... You can only do
    it with one person.
[18:34] ---
    Say, Alpha...
[18:36] ---
    I want to do it.
[18:39] ---
    That's okay, right, Alpha?
[18:43] ---
    Hey! Listen to me!
[18:46] ---
    Tomoki...
[18:58] ---
    Hey, where are you going?!
[19:00] ---
    D-Don't leave me here!
[19:04] ---
    W-What should I do?
[19:11] ---
    No, stop!
[19:13] ---
    Sorry! I-It was a joke! A joke!
[19:17] ---
    W-What is this feeling?
    What's happening? Am I...
[19:25] ---
    getting feelings for Tomoki?
[19:29] ---
    Hey...
[19:31] ---
    Are you all right?
[19:33] ---
    It's nothing! My reactor is
    just a little out of whack!
[19:38] ---
    Don't hit me!
[19:40] ---
    I've done a bad thing to Alpha.
[19:45] ---
    Hey, hold on!
[19:48] ---
    I'm sorry, Alpha.
[19:51] ---
    I just wanted to have
    one more, final memory.
[19:55] ---
    But I've had enough.
[19:58] ---
    Reactor function 100% normal.
[20:05] ---
    The time we spent together
    wasn't very long, but it was fun.
[20:11] ---
    It's all right, Alpha.
    Even if you aren't able to smile,
[20:16] ---
    with Tomoki as your master,
    he will take good care of you,
[20:21] ---
    forever and ever.
[20:30] ---
    My reactor...
[20:33] ---
    hurts.
[20:43] ---
    No sooner do you go off on your own
[20:45] ---
    than you come back looking all ragged.
[20:47] ---
    I am sorry, Master.
[20:49] ---
    Nymph up and leaves on me, too.
    What the hell is going on?
[20:53] ---
    We went to all the trouble of
    this date, and I still cannot smile.
[21:05] ---
    Come on, we're going home.
    As for our date,
[21:09] ---
    the date is over once we get home.
[21:14] ---
    Yes...
[21:25] ---
    You've been set free. Good for you.
[21:41] ---
    Farewell, Alpha. Farewell, Tomoki.
[21:55] ---
    I'll pick a red flower
    and give it to my lover
[22:08] ---
    I'll place this flower
    in my lover's hair
[22:20] ---
    Red flower, red flower,
    in my lover's hair,
[22:36] ---
    you will bloom and bounce,
    just like the sun
[22:56] ---
    Just like the moon
[23:13] ---
    Now then, where shall I do this?
[23:17] ---
    The sea? Or up in the mountains,
    where no one is around?
[23:21] ---
    If I pass away someplace
    secluded, no one will notice.
[23:26] ---
    Then again, going back to
    Synapse with a bomb in tow
[23:31] ---
    might be comical, too.
[23:32] ---
    I wonder what my
    master would say if I did that.
[23:58] ---
    Gammas...
[24:00] ---
    Next time, "Queen of the Sky"
[24:02] ---
