I'm carsick.

Do you need a bag?

No.

Here's what you asked for, Asakusa.
[05:01] Kanamori
Red bean soup and green soybean mochi.
[05:03] Midori
Excellent work, Kanamori.
[05:05] Kanamori
If you're that curious, you could
always head down there yourself.
[05:09] Midori
I don't do well in crowds.
[05:13] Midori
Huh? Kanamori? Where's my change?
[05:18] Kanamori
I'm taking it as a service fee.

[05:38] Midori
Anyway, Kanamori, my friend...
[05:39] Kanamori
What's up?
[05:40] Midori
I'll buy you some milk,
[05:42] Midori
so would you come see the screening by the anime—
[05:44] Kanamori
Absolutely not. Sounds lame.
[05:45] Midori
I'm begging you!
[05:46] Midori
I'll up it to two bottles of the milk
they sell at the Ongyoku Bathhouse!
[05:49] Kanamori
Is this like how some people only go to
the bathroom as part of a group, Asakusa?
[05:53] Midori
I'd feel weird going alone.
[05:56] Kanamori
Why the anime club, exactly?
[05:58] Midori
Well, because I love anime, of course.
[06:00] Kanamori
Why not make something at home, on your own?
[06:03] Midori
It's hard to make anything more
than a short on your own.
[06:07] Midori
And I need the right kind of environment,
and an opportunity to get anything done.
[06:13] Kanamori
And that means you spend your days
just staring out at the campus?
[06:17] Kanamori
What exactly are you looking at, Your Excellency?
[06:21] Midori
Isn't it obvious, Kanamori?!
[06:24] Midori
Look at this campus, built on the water!
SIGN Shibahama High School
[06:26] Midori
The continued renovations, over time,
[06:28] Midori
have created a layout both
complicated and inexplicable!
[06:30] Midori
A total lack of consistency
between upper and lower levels!
[06:32] Midori
The bridges that go into town!
SIGN Shibahama High School
[06:34] Midori
That clock, which isn't visible
from most of the campus!
[06:37] Midori
Which means we usually end up looking at...
[06:39] Midori
The clock over on the coast!
[06:42] Midori
It's a public building shaped like a dungeon!
[06:44] Midori
I want to make an anime with
this school as the setting!
[06:47] Midori
It's gonna look like this! What do you think?!
[06:52] Kanamori
You get fired up at the drop
of a hat, don't you, Asakusa?
[06:56] Kanamori
I'm not sure what you want me to say...
[07:01] Kanamori
We just enrolled here, and you've
got all this... stuff.
[07:05] Kanamori
Don't you have anything better
to do with your energy?
[07:09] Midori
Come on, let's go to the anime
club's screening, Kanamori!
[07:13] Kanamori
Make it four bottles of milk.

You're taking advantage of me.

Let's sit in the back, Kanamori.
[07:39] Midori
Let's sit somewhere else!
[07:40] Club
Start it up, please.
SIGN Conaso
of the Lost Island
[07:55] Kanamori
What about this is entertaining to you?
[07:57] Midori
You have this simple-looking, round machine,
[08:00] Midori
that can fly thanks to a
unexplained anti-gravity device,
[08:03] Midori
which is depicted with an
attention to fine details...
[08:05] Midori
Like how they pick it up with their hands!
[08:07] Midori
It's like when you push a car,
hoping the engine will turn over!
[08:10] Midori
They're taking the obvious
visual cues of the animation
[08:11] Midori
and using it to create an air of reality!
[08:16] Midori
The spacing of the frame...
[08:18] Midori
Establishing the location...
[08:19] Midori
The relaxed pace that's set by the running!
[08:21] Midori
The way it sets up the character's physicality!
[08:25] Midori
And this sense of scale!
[08:26] Midori
Look at the size contrast created
in this crossover shot!
[08:31] Midori
And by having debris flying around,
[08:32] Midori
it creates a real sense of propulsion!
[08:35] Midori
And the movement of the air...
[08:38] Midori
With the character running against it,
showing the resistance,
[08:40] Midori
and how it pushes them around...
[08:41] Midori
Right here!
[08:42] Midori
You take something that's totally implausible,
but pass it off like it is!
[08:44] Midori
You take reality and then exaggerate
it in a way that makes sense!
[08:48] Midori
A character moves around on top of
a background, and it creates an entire world!
[08:51] Midori
Seeing a character wandering around a mysterious
world fills you with a sense of adventure—
[08:53] Kanamori
I understand, and you can stop now.
[08:56] Kanamori
Getting more of an explanation than
you asked for is excruciating.
[08:59] Midori
Sorry about that.
[09:00] Kanamori
I'll admit, anime is more
complicated than I ever thought.
[09:09] Tsubame
Excuse me, you in the hat?
[09:10] Tsubame
Nice to meet you. I'm a first-year, too!
Tsubame Mizusaki! I like anime, too!
[09:14] Midori
Wow, close! Uh, yes! Okay!
[09:15] Tsubame
Sorry to spring this on you,
but I need to borrow your hat!
[09:18] Goons
There she is.
[09:18] Midori
Whoa, are those MiBs?
[09:20] Tsubame
Thanks, see you later!
[09:22] Midori
Wait, my hat? Where'd it—

[09:27] Movie?

[09:30] Midori
A young girl, fleeing from villains...
[09:32] Kanamori
She's actually a famous fashion model...
[09:35] Kanamori
On top of being the daughter
of some huge megacorp's boss.
[09:37] Midori
I thought there were anti-monopoly
laws to get rid of those.
[09:40] Kanamori
This smells like cash...
[09:42] Midori
And adventure.

[09:59] Midori

[10:01] Kanamori
Well, now...
[10:07] Midori
What are they talking about?
[10:09] Midori
I can't hear.
[10:16] Tsubame
If this is just a lecture, you didn't
need to follow me to school.
[10:19] Tsubame
I was looking forward to the
anime club's screening.
[10:22] Tsubame
I don't understand why I'm supposed to put
on an act just because my parents both do it!
[10:27] Tsubame
I want a normal life! Going home with
my friends, doing after school activities!
[10:30] Goon
Our orders are to keep you
from joining the anime club.
[10:35] Tsubame
So if it was live action or any other
kind of film club, it'd be fine?!
[10:37] Goon
Correct.
[10:41] Kanamori
Asakusa...
[10:44] Kanamori
Go and make friends with Mizusaki, all right?
[10:50] Tsubame
Being an animator is a real job!
[10:53] Tsubame
You breathe life into all kinds of roles!
[10:54] Tsubame
And not just people, but wind,
the environment, machines...
[10:57] Tsubame
Sometimes they create performances
bigger than anything live action could!
[11:00] Midori
Hey...
[11:03] Tsubame
You're the girl who had the hat...
[11:05] Midori
S-Sup! Sorry about the delay!
[11:06] Midori
I was late catching my bike! Can you believe it?
[11:08] Midori
Hey, it's almost 2!
[11:09] Midori
Why don't we chill on the roof and chow
down our lunches, Tsubamecchy Mizusaki?
[11:14] Midori
Come on, there's a weirdo lurking around.
[11:17] Tsubame
Uh...
[11:18] Goon
Excuse me. Who are you, exactly?
[11:22] Midori
Run for it!
[11:22] Tsubame
Wait! Hey, hang on!
[11:24] Goon
Get back here!
[11:25] Midori
This way!
[11:30] Midori
Go up!
[11:36] Goon
There you are!
[12:07] Tsubame
That guy works for my parents!
[12:10] Tsubame
Thankfully, he's tough enough that
that probably didn't hurt him.
[12:13] Tsubame
Man, you grabbed me when I was taking a sip,
[12:15] Tsubame
and now I'm covered in strawberry milk!
[12:17] Midori
I am so sorry.
[12:18] Tsubame
It's kind of crazy you thought he
was some kind of bad guy, though.
[12:22] Kanamori
Sending someone to spy on you at school...
[12:25] Kanamori
Your parents keep you on
a short leash, don't they?
[12:27] Midori
Whoa, Kanamori!
[12:29] Tsubame
They won't shut up about
wanting me to be an actress.
[12:32] Tsubame
I'm not allowed to join the anime club,
[12:34] Tsubame
so I told him to get me a
strawberry milk and slipped away.
[12:38] Tsubame
Not that it matters now.
[12:40] Tsubame
Wow, I smell like strawberry milk.
[12:42] Crowd
That's Mizusaki Tsubame!
[12:53] Kanamori
No sense in chatting with an audience.
Let's get you cleaned up.
[12:58] Midori
Kanamori, I'm not sure we should
be butting in this much.
[13:02] Kanamori
What're you saying? First you save
the princess, then comes the treasure.
[13:07] Midori
This isn't about rescuing a princess
from a villain! It's a family disagreement!
[13:10] Kanamori
I know you heard her talk about anime, Asakusa.
[13:15] Kanamori
Let's just escort her to the laundromat for now.
[13:17] Midori
You're scheming something up,
aren't you, Kanamori?
[13:22] Tsubame
Is this where you sleep?
[13:24] Midori
Mizusaki, that's where actual people sleep!
[13:26] Tsubame
Wait, someone lives here?!
[13:30] Midori
Here we are.
[13:32] Tsubame
This is the laundromat?
[13:33] Kanamori
Admittedly, it doesn't exactly give
off the impression of cleanliness.

[13:43] Kanamori
Why's the air conditioner on the door?
[13:45] Midori
Lots of places have cramped entrances.
[13:50] Tsubame
It's bigger on the inside than I expected.

Oh, no, just think of it as an investment.

[14:42] Tsubame
I love weird buildings like this.
Can never draw them right, though...
[14:49] Midori
You draw, Mizusaki?
[14:52] Tsubame
Well, I want to be an animator.
[14:54] Kanamori
What kind of things do you draw?
[14:59] Tsubame
Take a look.
[15:09] Kanamori
What do you say, Asakusa?
[15:11] Midori
You can tell she's serious
about being an animator.
[15:14] Midori
Lots of figure drawing,
the kind I have trouble with.
[15:16] Tsubame
You draw too, Asakusa?!
[15:18] Midori
Uh, well, I...
[15:21] Kanamori
Here you go.
[15:22] Tsubame
Thanks!
[15:24] Tsubame
I'm gonna take a look.
[15:26] Midori
Damn it, Kanamori, who said you could—
[15:30] Midori
Let me go!
[15:31] Tsubame
These are... image boards
and concept designs right?
[15:36] Midori
E-E-Exactly.
[15:39] Kanamori
What's an image board?
[15:41] Tsubame
It's the art done early in
anime production to establish
[15:43] Tsubame
the look and feel of the world.
[15:48] Midori
Are you trying to kill me?!
[15:49] Midori
I've wanted to make anime
ever since elementary school,
[15:52] Midori
and this is the kind of
stuff I would always draw.
[15:54] Midori
But you're the first person to ever
recognize that it was concept art.
[15:58] Tsubame
I've never met anyone who
did concept design before.
[16:01] Tsubame
Most people just do character art. Including me.
[16:05] Tsubame
This is amazing... It's full of ideas.
[16:14] Midori
You want to try an overlay?
[16:25] Tsubame
It's like my art has a background!
[16:26] Midori
That worked better than I thought!
[16:28] Midori
Let's try with others.
[16:29] ---
Yeah!
[16:32] Midori
How about this?
[16:33] Tsubame
Nice!
[16:34] Midori
And this?
[16:35] Tsubame
It looks good! This is fun!
[16:38] Midori
This is starting to get interesting!
[16:40] Kanamori
Mizusaki, how would you like to make
anime with Midori Asakusa here?
[16:46] Tsubame
But I'm not allowed to join the anime club.
[16:48] Midori
That's right! Where'd that come from?!
[16:50] Midori
It's not like I have any experience,
or know-how, or the guts to—
[16:54] Kanamori
Why should a pair of bright young people
[16:56] Kanamori
let nonsense like that stop them?
[16:58] Kanamori
Do you want to make anime or not?!
[17:02] Kanamori
If you can't join the anime club,
[17:03] Kanamori
then you can just start a new club of your own!
[17:06] Kanamori
We've got youth on our side.
[17:09] Kanamori
That means we don't stand to lose
anything here. There's no risk involved.
[17:12] Kanamori
And I may not know anything about anime,
but I can back you up in other ways.
[17:16] Tsubame
Why would you do that?
[17:18] Kanamori
Because a famous fashion model making
anime sounds like a great way to rake in cash.
[17:23] Both
You want money?!
[17:27] Midori
This ship is cool.
[17:29] Tsubame
You think? I just drew it because I
felt like I needed to try and do something
[17:33] Tsubame
other than characters.
[17:40] Tsubame
Asakusa, try drawing some
lines on the frame there!
[17:43] Midori
A couple of safety stripes, right?
[17:49] Tsubame
Go ahead and pull mine out!
[17:56] Midori
What do you suppose it does, though?
[17:59] Tsubame
I hadn't thought about it,
but I guess it's for construction.
[18:02] Midori
In that case, some arms
and winches would be good!
[18:04] Kanamori
Winches?
[18:05] Midori
Like the kind for spooling cables!
[18:06] Tsubame
Good idea! Put some on!
[18:08] Midori
Does it look good here?
[18:10] Tsubame
Wow!
[18:12] Tsubame
Y'know, I've never done any concept art before.
[18:15] Midori
I like setting up concepts.
[18:17] Midori
Did you ever draw a layout for a
secret base when you were a kid?
[18:20] Midori
That was always a ton of fun!
[18:23] Tsubame
I remember adding traps
and setting mines...
[18:27] Tsubame
Not sure who they were supposed to be for.
[18:30] Midori
The greatest world I can imagine!
[18:33] Midori
I draw to bring that world to life,
[18:35] Midori
so concepts are what it's all about!
[18:41] Tsubame
You're really something, Asakusa!
[18:43] Tsubame
In that case, let's keep going!
Maybe it should have a light around here?
[18:47] Midori
That'd make the engine look kind of cramped.
[18:49] Tsubame
I'd like it better if it moved around
in a more distinct way, though.
[18:56] Tsubame
How about something like this?
Wings like you'd see on a bug.
[18:58] Midori
Oh, wow! That's awesome!
[19:01] Midori
It can't really land like that, though.
[19:03] Midori
Let's add some landing gear with
tires for a counterweight,
[19:05] Midori
and turn the ducted fans into
contra-rotating propellers.
[19:08] Tsubame
We can attach a tail to make
it look like a dragonfly!
SIGN All-Purpose Manned Flying Pod
Kairi
[19:11] Midori
It's done!
[19:12] Tsubame
Fantastic!
[19:13] Midori
And the wings' surfaces
are made of solar panels!
[19:16] Midori
Plus, the structure for
[19:17] Midori
the wing joints is modeled after
real exoskeletons and muscle fibers!
[19:20] Tsubame
It's tiny!
[19:21] Midori
It has to be, to be light enough.
[19:29] Midori
All right, let's do a motion
check for the wings.
[19:38] Midori
All good!
[19:45] Goons
Hold it!
[19:47] Tsubame
Oh, no! Let's get out of here!
[19:50] Midori
The switch for the launch
catapult is on the outside.
[19:52] Tsubame
I'll go!
[19:55] Kanamori
There was a door here?
[19:59] Tsubame
Is this it?
[20:05] Midori
Huh?
[20:05] Tsubame
It says number three is empty!
[20:07] Midori
That means there's no steam pressure!
The catapult's not gonna work!
[20:10] Tsubame
I'll push! Kanamori, help me!
[20:12] Kanamori
Whatever...
[20:20] Tsubame
Move!
[20:35] Midori
All right! Get in, you two!
[20:52] Midori
Come on!
[21:09] Tsubame
It worked! We're actually flying!
SIGN Mizu
[21:28] Tsubame
Is there no way out of here?!
[21:29] Midori
There are massive skyscrapers
in every direction!
[21:31] Kanamori
This is bad.
[21:33] Midori
Over there!
[21:34] Tsubame
It's too narrow!
[21:35] Midori
We'll fly sideways!
[21:35] Tusbame
It's not gonna work!
[21:38] Midori
Huh?
[21:39] Tsubame
What? What is it?
[21:40] Midori
One of the wings isn't responding!
[21:42] Midori
It took a hit!
[21:44] Midori
We're gonna crash!
[21:46] Tsubame
The three of us can figure this out!
[21:48] Tsubame
Kanamori, let's try and shift the weight!
[21:49] Kanamori
Oh, for the love of...
[21:58] Tsubame
Yeah!
[22:10] Tsubame
Ow, ow, ow...
[22:18] Midori
This... It's the greatest world.
[22:36] Midori
Is it just me, or did we go somewhere awesome?
[22:39] Tsubame
It felt like we saw something amazing.
[22:42] Tsubame
Oh, shoot, I need to go!
[22:44] Tsubame
The new anime by the animation dream team of
[22:46] Tsubame
Inoue-san, Ohira-san, and Iso-san is gonna air!
[22:48] Midori
Can't you record it?
[22:49] Tsubame
I've gotta see it live!
[22:52] Tsubame
Which way is the station?!
[22:53] Midori
I'll show you the shortest route!
[22:55] Kanamori

[22:57] Midori
But you always get better times than me.
[22:59] Midori
Mizusaki, how fast can you do 100 meters?
[23:01] Tsubame
When I was little, I used to say
I could do it in one second.
[23:03] Midori
Then we can get to the station in eight seconds!
[23:05] Kanamori
Whoever's last to the station
has to treat me to something.
[23:09] Kanamori
See ya!
[23:10] Tsubame
Hey, wait!
[23:11] Midori
That's cheating!
[23:12] Kanamori
You two are the ones who
decided to just stand around!

Why wouldn't we?!

[00:15] Tsubame
Yep! That shortcut you told
me about worked great!
[00:23] Tsubame
Asakusa, your bag looks really durable.
[00:27] Midori
You have quite the eye for quality, Mizusaki!
[00:30] Midori
It's made for military use!
[00:31] Kanamori
It looks cheap, from what I can tell.
[00:35] Midori
I spent all of my New Year's money on it!
[00:38] Midori
It's a big ticket item, Kanamori.
[00:40] Tsubame
Wow, so around 100,000?
[00:45] Tsubame
Well, you said used all of
your New Year's money...

We're working-class folks, so my

[01:10] Midori
Can't we all just join the anime club?
[01:13] Tsubame
But my parents said I couldn't.
[01:16] Kanamori
Since Mizusaki is unable
to join the anime club,
[01:19] Kanamori
we absolutely need to create
a new club to make anime.
[01:23] Kanamori
Are you chickening out?
[01:25] Midori
You make it sound easy, Kanamori,
but the idea of actually going in there...
[01:29] Tsubame
I don't mind! Starting a
new club sounds like fun.
[01:33] Midori
Do you really think that they're going
to let us start a new club for anime,
[01:38] Midori
when one already exists?
[01:40] Tsubame
Good point.

[01:57] Yokota
We already have clubs

[02:01] Yokota
We don't have one for feature-length films,
though. How about it?
[02:05] Yokota
There's a poster for a competition back there.
[02:08] Yokota
The clubs at our school tend
not to be very competitive.
[02:12] Yokota
Maybe you girls could make a feature and enter?

It'd be a big help if you could do

[02:47] Yokota
Huh? You can't make anime!
[02:50] Yokota
We've already got an anime club!
[02:51] Kanamori
What are you two talking about?
[02:53] Kanamori
Anime is film too, isn't it?
[02:55] Kanamori
So we call ourselves the film club,
and produce anime. It's that simple.

We'd love to start a film club!

It's really hot in here.
[05:55] Fujimoto
There's no air conditioning, after all.
[05:57] Kanamori
Can't the school arrange for an air conditioner?
[06:02] Fujimoto
You girls are still a loose association
with nothing to your name.
[06:05] Fujimoto
Once you've been officially recognized,
you might net yourselves an AC.
[06:11] Fujimoto
Well, good luck.
[06:13] Kanamori
Holes in the ceiling and walls, and no
financial support from the school.
[06:19] Tsubame
It cost 20,000,000 yen to get
the roof redone at our house.
[06:22] Tsubame
I don't have that kind of money!
[06:24] Midori
We don't need to do renovations
like your house would call for.
[06:27] Midori
I bet 30,000 will be enough!
[06:28] Kanamori
That is very unlikely.
[06:30] Kanamori
I suppose we should clean up for now,
[06:33] Kanamori
and make this place a bit more tolerable.
[06:35] Midori
I wonder where the switch for the fans is!
[06:40] Tsubame
I found a broom!
[06:41] Kanamori
Our priority should probably be
fixing the walls and ceiling.
[06:45] Kanamori
Between labor and materials,
it's likely to be more than 50,000.
[06:49] Kanamori
I suppose we should do it ourselves, if we can.
[06:51] Midori
Hey, listen!
[06:53] Midori
This place is going to be our
base of operations, right?
[06:56] Tsubame
That's right.
[06:58] Midori
So it's like a villa just for us!
[07:00] Midori
We should bring in a sofa,
and a TV, and bookshelves,
[07:03] Midori
and make it a lot more comfy!
[07:05] Tsubame
I want it to be like the

after a fall like that.
[08:43] Kanamori
She's most likely worked up from the
excitement of getting the space.
[08:48] Kanamori
But you did well, Asakusa. Very well.

We can sell the footage of
your fall at a high price,

and use it to fix up the room.

You can sell that kind of thing?
[09:02] Kanamori
Haven't you seen the shows
where they talk about how much
[09:05] Kanamori
"shocking footage" sells for?
[09:07] Kanamori
Most of the footage you see on TV along
those lines is bought and paid for.
[09:12] Kanamori
So that that bit of candid footage
might mean a payout for us.
[09:16] Midori
It's just me falling down. You're not
gonna get a TV station to pay for that.
[09:21] Kanamori
There are middle men who handle
that part, so we don't have to do much.
[09:27] Tsubame

And now the upload is complete.
[09:35] Tsubame
And we're going to get paid for it?

still, as far as gear and budget go.

[11:04] Midori
I'm spinning plates.
[11:05] Kanamori
I can see that.
[11:07] Tsubame
Asakusa said you'd probably
complain a bunch,
[11:09] Tsubame
so we should have our celebration
before you showed up—
[11:16] Kanamori
I have problems with people who try and
use random excuses for celebrations.
[11:20] Midori
Roger, dodger, and wilco on that.
[11:22] Tsubame
Aw, it's fine, Kanamori!
[11:24] Tsubame
We've got croquettes from the cafeteria,
[11:26] Tsubame
and the canned milk they sell
at the Ongyoku Bathhouse!
[11:29] Kanamori
You could've just said that.
What a wonderful party.
[11:32] Midori
You're such a mercenary!
[11:34] Midori
More importantly, Kanamori,
have you noticed something?
[11:39] Kanamori
The sofa, I assume?
[11:41] Midori
That's right! Mizusaki brought it in.
[11:44] Tsubame
We weren't using it at home, so I had
the property clerk send it down here.
[11:49] Kanamori
You have one of those?!
[11:51] Midori
Using tires for chairs in your secret base
is strictly for elementary schoolers.
[11:55] Midori
We're in high school.
That is to say, we're adults.
[11:58] Midori
And this sofa is the proof of that maturity!
[12:02] Midori
I propose a toast to celebrate
our graduation from tires!
[12:05] Kanamori
My problems also extend to people who
will use any old excuse for a toast.
[12:09] Kanamori
I'm curious. How much did
this sofa cost, Mizusaki?
[12:13] Tsubame
About three million yen.
[12:16] Kanamori
I thought as much.
[12:17] Midori
Three mill—?!
[12:20] Midori
I-I j-just stabbed a three
million dollar sofa with a fork!
[12:24] Tsubame
Oh, it's fine! It's not like we were using it.
[12:27] Tsubame
It was basically junk, just taking up space.
[12:30] Tsubame
More importantly, we need to
talk about making this anime.
[12:33] Midori
I'd say the sanctity of the
sofa is a bigger deal.
[12:36] Tsubame
I want to draw the natural movements
you see in daily life,
[12:39] Tsubame
with lots of realistic acting that feels alive.
[12:41] Midori
You're just ignoring what I said, huh?
[12:43] Tsubame
Lots of realistic, subtle facial
expressions and camera angles...
[12:46] Tsubame
Good lip sync and blinking...
[12:47] Tsubame
And I want to focus on the timing of
intercharacter conversation, too!
[12:51] Midori
If we're talking about focus,
[12:53] Midori
then mine is making sure the details of the settings
and the gimmicks are as detailed as possible.
[12:57] Tsubame
That's your specialty, Asakusa!
[13:00] Midori
The right use of sound effects
can add a bunch of texture, too.
[13:04] Midori
Like making sure a "boom" puts the
right emphasis on an explosion...
[13:05] Tsubame
It'd be great to do it on paper, too!
[13:07] Tsubame
I usually use a tablet.
[13:09] Kanamori
Why don't we settle on a genre, first of all?
[13:13] Kanamori
Sci-fi and romance...
[13:16] Kanamori
We don't have brand recognition
like big-name studios,
[13:19] Kanamori
so we'll need a genre with mass appeal
if we want to see any profit from this.
[13:23] Tsubame
We don't get the club's funding
from our audience, though.
[13:26] Tsubame
I want our focus to be the animation,
[13:27] Tsubame
and the kind of scenes we want to make!
[13:29] Midori
We can settle on a genre later. It'll be fine.
[13:34] Kanamori
It's best to let them do what they want for now,
to size up what they're capable of.
[13:38] Kanamori
We'll table the question of genre for now.
[13:41] Kanamori
What exactly do we need to make anime?
[13:45] Tsubame
There's lots of stuff...
[13:46] Tsubame
But if we're doing it by hand,
we'll need animation paper.
[13:49] Kanamori
Animation paper?
[13:51] Tsubame
It's really just paper with holes in it.
[13:53] Tsubame
But you use pegs to hold it in place
when you're actually animating.
[13:57] Kanamori
What pegs?
[13:58] Tsubame
The pegs are—
[14:00] Midori
Whoa, hang on. We don't even have a desk yet.
[14:04] Kanamori
Asakusa's actually fairly sharp

[14:10] Tsubame

I'll prove to you both that I'm no idiot!

Mr. Fujimoto... is not here?
[14:34] Yokota
Hey, it's the eizouken's shock troop girls.
[14:37] Yokota

[14:38] Midori
We need desks for the club room,
but since we don't have any budget,
[14:42] Midori
we were hoping there were some we could borrow.
[14:44] Yokota
Oh, right.
[14:46] Yokota
We've got a few long desks, in addition
to the kind that are in classrooms.
[14:49] Yokota
What do you have in mind?
[14:50] Midori
If there are any, a desk with
a light box would be perfect!
[14:54] ---
Huh?
[14:55] Midori
You need them for making anime—
[14:56] Yokota
Anime?
[14:58] Yokota
I said no anime!
[14:59] Midori
Uh, we—
[15:02] Midori
Shoot!
[15:03] Yokota
We've already got an anime club!
You girls need to be working in live action.
[15:07] Yokota
Having two groups with the
same focus is a bad idea.
[15:09] Kanamori
We in the film club are operating with
an eye towards general film production,
[15:14] Kanamori
and as such, have a right do just that,
[15:16] Kanamori
regardless of whether such films
are animated or live action.
[15:19] Kanamori
Besides, isn't the anime club's
official designation the
[15:22] Kanamori
"anime culture research group," sir?
[15:24] Kanamori
And, as that entails, their focus
is currently on researching anime,
[15:28] Kanamori
not the production of film.
[15:31] Kanamori
A club making claims on other activities
with no actual intent of engaging in them
[15:35] Kanamori
is a nuisance to other groups.
[15:36] Kanamori
Not to mention how a teacher infringing
on a student's right to organize
[15:39] Kanamori
for legitimate activities without
a proper reason is a matter
[15:42] Kanamori
worth bringing up to the PTA
and the Board of Education—
[15:43] Yokota
I get it, I get it!
[15:45] Yokota
Man, kids are scary nowadays.
[15:49] Yokota
This is the key to the storeroom
the old anime club used to use.
[15:52] Yokota
I think they have an old desk
for tracing in there.
[15:55] Yokota
Go ahead and use anything you need.
[15:57] Yokota
But try and avoid anime, if you can!
[16:01] Yokota
And there's supposed to be a big rainstorm later,
[16:02] Yokota
so hurry and take care of your business.
[16:06] Midori
Copy that! Thanks!
[16:13] Midori
Man, get a load of that!
[16:16] Midori
There's an actual windmill!
[16:18] Midori
It must've been for the wind from the canal!
[16:20] Tsubame
It's like we have a river, too!
[16:21] Tsubame
I never thought there'd be something
like this right below our clubroom.
[16:24] Midori
Careful there, Mizusaki!
[16:26] Kanamori
Let's check out the storeroom.
[16:35] Midori
Holy cow, there's a generator!
[16:37] Tsubame
These are the folders you keep cuts in!
SIGN Monstrous Mastermind
[16:41] Tsubame
There are cells and backgrounds, too!
[16:48] Kanamori
You mean to tell me someone painted
each one of these, individually?
[16:52] Tsubame
Yep!
[16:53] Tsubame
And then you put it on the
background when you film it.
[16:57] Tsubame
Too many at once makes it blurry,
so generally it was four at a time.
[17:01] Tsubame
The people who handled the coloring
[17:03] Tsubame
would even compensate for the
differences in coloring the layers caused!
[17:08] Midori
I see... It's connected to the windmill outside.
[17:12] Midori
But if it's not going to turn...
[17:14] Tsubame
I wonder what this is...
[17:16] Kanamori
You've got a real thing for high
places, don't you, Mizusaki?
[17:17] Midori
I guess they were using wind
to power to this place...
[17:22] Midori
That's a camera stand!
[17:25] Tsubame
You're right! This thing's a camera!
[17:28] Midori
It's huge! This is the real deal!
[17:30] Midori
You turn this crank...
[17:32] Midori
And by moving the background
a little bit at a time,
[17:35] Midori
you can make a single stationary
cell look like it's in motion.
[17:40] Midori
Each turn is 0.1mm, so a fourth
of that would be 0.025mm.
SIGN Monstrous Mastermind
[17:46] Midori
You can raise the camera with this crank,
which lets you zoom in and pull out.
[17:52] Midori
If you use the different levels,
you can change the point of focus...
[17:55] Midori
And you can manage light permeation
[17:57] Midori
by using the mirror on the bottom to
reflect the right amount for your brightness.
[18:04] Tsubame
There's so much valuable stuff here!
[18:07] Kanamori
What about the desk that we came here for?
[18:10] Kanamori
One with this light box thing.
[18:13] Tsubame
This is it!
[18:18] Tsubame
It's just like I've seen in books!
[18:20] Tsubame
There's animation paper,
pencil sharpeners, a feather sweeper...
[18:25] Tsubame
Clips, tape... wow!
[18:28] Tsubame
We can use this stuff as-is! We've won!
[18:31] Tsubame
This is a big win for us!
[18:34] Tsubame
This is the peg I was talking about!
[18:36] Tsubame
You run it through the hole in the paper.
[18:38] Tsubame
That way, you can draw with
a bunch of sheets at once!
[18:43] Kanamori
And what's this?
[18:44] Midori
Someone must've drawn the
windmill that's outside.
[18:47] Kanamori
Looks rough.
[18:48] Tsubame
It's just a layout. The early stuff.
[18:52] Kanamori
Is it any good, Mizusaki?
[18:56] Tsubame
Well, they did a good job of drawing it, but...
[18:58] Tsubame
What do you think, Asakusa?
[19:01] Midori
I don't think it'll turn like this.
[19:06] Midori
There's no angle on the blades.
[19:08] Tsubame
Hey, you're right.
[19:09] Tsubame
It can't catch the wind like that,
so it won't spin.
[19:13] Tsubame
Y'know... what if we finish it?
[19:16] Midori
Good idea!
[19:21] Tsubame
I underestimated animation.
[19:23] Tsubame
Doing things analog... is rough.
[19:26] Tsubame
It's easy to get dirty, and my fingers hurt.
[19:28] Tsubame
It's really hard to draw any good, fine lines.
[19:31] Tsubame
And the oil from my hands
is making the paper curl up.
[19:33] Tsubame
Animators were getting paid
how much for each drawing?
[19:37] Midori
We're not getting paid anything, Mizusaki!
[19:40] Midori
There! All done.
[19:42] Kanamori
Let me see.
[19:46] Tsubame
You're good at that, Kanamori!
[19:48] Midori
A knack for handling stacks of paper. Figures.
[19:50] Midori
Something's still weird, though...
[19:54] Tsubame
I think maybe the angle isn't quite right.
[19:58] Tsubame
In terms of a face, you have
the profile, and then the frontal...
[20:02] Tsubame
Most people think that the mid-point is
like this, but it's more like this one.
[20:10] Tsubame
I think the different blades aren't
visible enough at this angle.
[20:13] Midori
Good point!
[20:15] Midori
Let's adjust for that, then.
[20:18] Midori
How's that look? It seems more natural now.
[20:22] Tsubame
Yeah, it looks like it's spinning now.
[20:25] Midori
It's still lacking something, though...
[20:28] Tsubame
Yeah, it works, but it's got no impact.
[20:32] Tsubame
Some color would probably help, but...
[20:35] Tsubame
Maybe some shadows?
Some faint ones, from a distance...
[20:40] Midori
I think it needs wind.
[20:43] Midori
The windmill is turning,
but you can't see the wind.
[20:47] Kanamori
And wind... is visible?
[20:50] Midori
Some people depict wind like this,
[20:53] Midori
or by showing stuff being blown around by it.
[20:57] Midori
But as far as I'm concerned...
[21:03] Midori
The reason this windmill isn't spinning...
[21:10] Midori
is because that building is blocking the wind!
[21:15] Midori
Off we go, people!
[21:18] Tsubame
We're doing this right now?
[21:19] Midori
The sun's gonna set if we don't get a move on!
[21:21] Tsubame
Okay!
[21:23] Kanamori
The sun is going to set either way!
[21:25] Kanamori
You two get like this every time you're excited!
[21:28] Tsubame
Let's go!
[21:32] Midori
Run for it! It's gonna blow!
[21:39] Kanamori
Wouldn't the building collapse after that?
[21:41] Midori
It's fictional, so we'll be fine!
[21:51] Kanamori
Why would water come out of there, Asakusa?
[22:03] Midori
The whole area's flooded now.
[22:05] Tsubame
Makes me wish we had a boat.
[22:07] Midori
And just like that, a sailing
dinghy floats our way!
[22:11] Midori
Let's set out!

[00:47] Kanamori
More importantly...
[00:48] Kanamori
We need to fix up the building

[03:02] Midori
It's time to begin the briefing
for our repairs of the club room.
[03:05] Midori
A lack of suitable seriousness
will not be tolerated!
[03:08] Tsubame
Okay!
[03:09] Midori
Kanamori, if you could get us started.
[03:11] Kanamori
The phrase "pure profit" speaks to the
[03:14] Kanamori
long-held dream of doing business
without any initial costs,
[03:18] Kanamori
but in reality, doing anything without
incurring costs is next to impossible!
[03:23] Kanamori
We've been able to obtain an animation desk
and fans from the school for free,
[03:28] Kanamori
but even those aren't usable
without additional elbow grease.
[03:30] Kanamori
The greatest example of which
is this decrepit club room!
[03:33] ---
To wit: if we do not repair the
holes in the walls and roof,
[03:37] ---
our crucial equipment runs
the risk of water damage—
[03:40] Midori
That's a alpine black swallowtail!
[03:42] Midori
Catch it!
[03:43] Tsubame
Wow, a butterfly!
[03:43] Midori
Butterfly, flutter butter fly fly!
[03:49] Kanamori
I have to say, the two of you are doing
an incredible job of staying serious.
[03:53] Midori
Uh... at this point I'd like
to remind you all that we,
[03:56] Midori
previously, came upon the
sizable sum of 30,000 yen!
[03:59] Tsubame
We did!
[04:01] Midori
The footage of my fall from the second floor
[04:03] Midori
managed to sell for 30,000
as accident footage.
[04:06] Midori
And if you'll look here, this is
all that remains of those 30,000.
[04:10] Midori
It has been nearly exhausted in
service of the roof and wall repairs.
[04:13] Midori
A moment of silence for our
late comrade, the 30,000 yen!
[04:16] Tsubame
Silence!
[04:18] Kanamori
Dearly departed 30,000 yen,
please send a large group
[04:20] Kanamori
of your comrades to my pocket.
[04:23] Tsubame
I guess 30,000 yen is a lot of money?
[04:25] Tsubame
That's about as much as I got for
allowance when I was in third grade.
[04:29] Midori
Raccoon dog!
[04:31] Midori
Row row woof, it's a raccoon dog!
[04:32] Tsubame
It's a sign!
[04:33] Tsubame
Asakusa, we should start
a festival! It'd be great!
[04:33] Midori
Row row woof, it's a raccoon dog!
[04:36] Kanamori
Get serious!
[04:39] Kanamori
We are finishing these repairs today!
[04:42] Kanamori
Any idiot who wastes further time
[04:45] Kanamori
will be punished without mercy,
so keep that in mind!
[04:49] Both
R-Roger that.
SIGN Film
[04:52] Midori
Well, I'll handle the external holes,
so the inside's all yours, Kanamori.
[04:56] Kanamori
Please take this seriously, Asakusa.
[04:58] Midori
But of course!
[05:02] Kanamori
I have my doubts about that.
[05:07] Tsubame
You say that, but Asakusa is pretty cool.
[05:11] Kanamori
Gross. What brought that on? And how, exactly?
[05:14] Kanamori
I have a big problem with people who
start a conversation by praising someone.
[05:20] Tsubame
That sounds like you!
[05:22] Tsubame
But repairing the walls
seems like a lot of work.
[05:24] Tsubame
Isn't it impressive that
she volunteered to do it?
[05:27] Kanamori
She's only doing it because she wants to.
[05:30] Kanamori
Asakusa is self-interested in that way.
[05:32] Tsubame
You mean she enjoys helping people?
[05:34] Kanamori
She isn't considering the fact
that the work might be difficult.
[05:38] Kanamori
Getting to play with a drill is fun to her,
and that gets her motivated.
[05:41] Tsubame
So it's more like our interests aligned!
[05:43] Kanamori
That what she's like.
[05:45] Kanamori
Think about grade school.
One student always rushed to
[05:47] Kanamori
the broom closet when clean-up time came.
[05:49] Kanamori
They didn't really want to help clean.
[05:51] Kanamori
They wanted to play with
the coolest-looking broom.
[05:53] Tsubame
That's a great example!
[06:03] Midori
I guess there wouldn't be any
motor noise, since space is a vacuum.
[06:06] Midori
The effects make for a stronger impact,
[06:07] Midori
but I think I'll deliberately
go with muted sound.
[06:12] Midori
There!
[06:13] Midori
Would liquid paint float off
before actually drying in space?
[06:21] Midori
That calls for electrostatic powder coating!
[06:25] Midori
Hang on...
[06:26] Midori
In a vacuum with no gravity, wouldn't the
ship develop an electric charge?
[06:30] Midori
Will a regular electrostatic charge be
enough for the powder to coat properly?
[06:33] Midori
Ah, who cares, it's my fantasy!
[06:35] Midori
No big deal if it's a little
bit more convenient for me.
[06:38] Midori
That just leaves applying the heat.
[06:44] Kanamori
Care to explain why you're doodling and
wearing a worn-out bucket on your head?
[06:48] Midori
Uh, well...
[06:49] Midori
I was just imagining what it'd be like
to train to repair a spaceship.
[06:52] Tsubame
A spaceship?! That sounds like a ton of fun!
[06:55] Kanamori
I figured as much.
[06:57] Kanamori
The walls can wait for now, so could
you at least take care of the roof?
SIGN Film
[07:03] Kanamori
What do you have your bag?
[07:05] Midori

[07:18] Tsubame
There we go.
[07:32] Tsubame
This is so high up! Awesome!
[07:42] Tsubame
Wow, the hole is huge up close.
[07:48] Kanamori
It's set. Do you think you'll
be able to close the hole?
[07:51] Midori
It's just sticking another
panel over it! Piece of cake!
[07:54] Kanamori
No accidents, please.

Since it's a medium-sized

control is a pricier option, it'll
be operated in zero gravity.
SIGN A ramen bowl developed with the
intent of making ramen slurpable
even in zero gravity.
SIGN The scientific community spent 10 years
and 12 billion dollars to develop this bowl
which rectifies the issue. (79,8000 yen)
[08:02] Midori
The Eizouken's Club Room Ship!
[08:04] Midori
The hull! Since it's a medium-sized
space-faring vessel,
[08:07] Midori
it can't fly in high atmospheric
pressure or high gravity,
[08:09] Midori
and it also can't withstand
atmospheric entry.
[08:11] Midori
It uses typical vertical orientation,
[08:12] Midori
but since gravity control is a pricier option,
[08:16] Midori
it'll be operated in zero gravity.
[08:17] Midori
Classical design!
[08:19] Midori
It has a bulbous bow like you'd see in a
maritime vessel for wave resistance,
[08:22] Midori
but since that's pointless in space,
we'll stick the radar in there!
[08:25] Midori
The frame is made of a special material
[08:27] Midori
that can transmit electrical
and optical signals,
[08:29] Midori
which eliminates the need for various cables!
[08:31] Midori
By altering this material, you can create
[08:32] Midori
optical and electric circuits inside of
the frame that function like computers!
[08:36] Midori
This is the part of the vessel that
needs the most advanced technology!
[08:40] Midori
And to allow for the slurping of
ramen in zero gravity, there is—
[08:42] Kanamori
Enough!
[08:45] Midori
The hole must've been caused by a debris impact.
[08:48] Tsubame
It's pretty long.
[08:50] Midori
The impact must've been at a shallow angle.
[08:52] Midori
We'll use a hydraulic cutter
to remove the warped parts.
[08:55] Midori
And here's the Pistol Grip Power Tool,
PGT, which needs no introduction!
[08:59] Tsubame
I've never heard of it before.
[09:01] Midori
Well, it's a battery-powered
driving tool that's been
[09:04] Midori
used since the first mission
for the space telescope's—
[09:09] Midori
Debris! Take cover! Now!
[09:27] Tsubame
No way! It's hailing!
[09:28] Midori
Yeowch!
[09:39] Midori
The sudden rush of debris made the

Mayday, mayday! Please respond!
[09:59] Kanamori
Yeah, yeah, this is the command room!
[10:02] Kanamori

[10:03] Midori
An accident! The ladder fell down,

[10:07] Tsubame
I need oxygen—I mean, to use the bathroom!
[10:10] Kanamori
What in the world are they doing?
[10:15] Tsubame
Kanamori, I have to go!
[10:17] Kanamori
That assistance is going to take a second.
[10:20] Kanamori
I've got a bit of situation down here, too.
[10:23] Midori
Help me!
[10:25] Midori
We're down to the air in our suits!
[10:27] Tsubame

[10:30] Kanamori
Good grief.
[10:31] Midori
M-Mizusaki, calm down! Take deep breaths!
[10:39] Midori
We're doomed!
[10:48] Kanamori
I'm not sure why, but please
release the emergency lock.
[10:52] Kanamori
We've got two astronauts on the
verge of bladder rupture. Over.
[10:57] Kanamori
Or alternatively...
[11:13] Kanamori
All right, the ladder is up! Now get down here!
[11:18] Midori
K-Kanamori...
[11:23] Midori

[11:24] Kanamori
How'd you get down?
[11:26] Midori
We slid down the gutter pipe—
[11:27] Kanamori
I ended up having to smash through a wall.
[11:30] Kanamori
That's extra labor and expenses,
which I assure you will come at a cost.
[11:36] Kanamori
This rescue costs a week's worth of
bottled milk from the Ongyoku Bathhouse.
[11:40] Midori
S-Seven hundred yen, huh...
[11:42] Kanamori
Fourteen hundred yen, actually.
I intend to drink two a day.

[13:22] Kanamori
We need to make a big impact
with the least effort possible.
[13:25] Kanamori
Our goal is to overwhelm the
committee and secure funding,
[13:28] Kanamori
along with a promotion to club status.
[13:31] Tsubame
Aw, I wanna take the time to make something good.
[13:34] Kanamori
Easily said, but we only
have 55 days to finish it.
[13:38] Kanamori
If we go for 12 frames a second,
[13:40] Kanamori
a five minute film means you'd
need to produce 3600 drawings.
[13:42] Kanamori
Factor in additional work beyond animation,
[13:44] Kanamori
and the two of you would need to work
50 days in a row non-stop, without sleep.
[13:50] Kanamori
That being the case, we need
to begin as soon as possible.
[13:53] Midori
Let's... make the runtime...
three minutes, then.
[13:57] Tsubame
We can't get started if we don't have
any idea what the story is, though.
[14:01] Midori
I've got a bunch of ideas
stockpiled over at my place.
[14:14] Midori
End seat is first come, first serve!
[14:17] Tsubame
Well, I get to sit on the end on the way back!
[14:19] Midori
This is my trip home anyway,
so no rematch for you!
[14:22] Tsubame
Dang it!

[17:28] Midori
Think about light—
[17:28] Kanamori
Okay, enough.
[17:30] Kanamori
This is great and all, but can
you draw it, Mizusaki?
[17:33] Tsubame
Well, I've never done effects
[17:36] Tsubame
like smoke and fire before,
so I'd have to try first.
[17:39] Tsubame
But the kind of animation
I want to make is more like...
[17:50] Tsubame
Sliding down an incline—
[17:53] Tsubame
And falling!
[17:55] Kanamori
Too plain.
[17:59] Tsubame
You know that some animation
puts a focus on realism, right?
[18:02] Tsubame
It can be really ordinary, everyday actions...
[18:05] Tsubame
But when animated, it looks really amazing!
[18:08] Kanamori
Isn't there something more efficient?
[18:10] Kanamori
Some kind of animation spectacle that
[18:11] Kanamori
would be impressive to anyone who's watching?
[18:14] Tsubame
To me, this is the most
spectacular animation there is!
[18:18] Kanamori
It'd cost too much for how plain it is!
[18:20] Kanamori
You can even use limited animation, but please,
[18:23] Kanamori
make something that's more flashy!
[18:27] Tsubame
Animation is supposed to be about motion,
[18:29] Tsubame
and animators are supposed
to make stuff move!
[18:32] ---
—make stuff move!

Y'know, some professional
animators will pick up a sword
[18:39] Tsubame
and swing it around while working.

[18:58] Tsubame
How do the wrinkles bunch up

[19:00] Tsubame
They work while studying all
those details, not just imagining them!
[19:06] Tsubame
Being an animator is like being an actor!
[19:09] Tsubame
But you portray more than just people...
[19:11] Tsubame
The movement of dogs and cats,
the ocean, the weather...
[19:14] Tsubame
Cars, planes, all of that
is the animators acting!
[19:19] Tsubame
I want to draw realistic,
lifelike acting with my own hands!
[19:23] Tsubame
I don't just want to make anime,
I want to make animation!
[19:25] ---
—to make animation!
[19:29] Kanamori
It won't matter how flashy
the subject matter is
[19:31] Kanamori
if the final product has
less motion than a picture book.
[19:34] Kanamori
That won't make a good impression
with the review committee.
[19:37] Kanamori
Technical experience
is valuable, but more than that,
[19:39] Kanamori
hurting the artist's motivation seems unwise.
[19:42] Kanamori
Fair enough. Let's combine the tank
with what you're trying to do, Mizusaki.
[19:48] Midori
How about a schoolgirl with a
sword fighting a tank?!
[19:53] Midori
You can put the focus on realistic
acting with the girl's animation!
[19:57] Tsubame
Oh... okay.
[19:59] Midori
And we can balance that by
making the parts with the tank
[20:02] Midori
and the explosions as over-the-top as we can.
[20:07] Tsubame
Sounds good to me!
[20:32] Tsubame
Should the sword be a katana?
[20:34] Midori
How about a machete?
[20:36] Midori
It's a bit more realistic for combat,
[20:37] Midori
and you see them in action movies all the time,
[20:40] Midori
but not too much in anime, I think!
[20:43] Tsubame
I like the realism! Let's go with that!
[20:50] Tsubame
Her hair should be able to flutter in the wind.
[20:57] Midori
So cool!
[20:58] Kanamori
Maybe I'm missing something, but how's
she going to be able to fight a tank?
[21:04] Midori
What if we give her an oxygen tank and mask?
[21:06] ---
Huh?
[21:07] Midori
The world she's on has low gravity!
[21:09] Midori
Which means the atmosphere is thin,
and you need the mask to breathe!
[21:13] Midori
But in exchange, since she came
from a world with stronger gravity,
[21:15] Midori
she can jump around all over
the place, really quickly!
[21:19] Midori
Since you won't have to worry about the face,
[21:20] Midori
you can put your focus on the action!
[21:22] Midori
Faces take quite a bit of time, after all.
[21:25] Tsubame
I wanted to draw expressions, too.
[21:27] Midori
Then how about simplifying
things for the long shots,
[21:29] Midori
but then you go for detail
during the close ups?
[21:33] Tsubame
Yeah! That should work!
[21:36] Tsubame
Okay! Let's do that!
[21:38] Midori
You're getting fired up!
[21:40] Kanamori
I can't believe that animation
paper costs so much,
[21:43] Kanamori
when the only thing
special about it is the holes.
[21:44] Kanamori
Wouldn't punching holes in
regular paper be good enough?
[21:48] Kanamori
Hello... a hole puncher for animation pegs?
[21:51] Kanamori
It's the exact three holes needed...
this'll cover its own cost in no time.
[22:03] Midori
So one thing we can do to make things
look flashy without extra work
[22:06] Midori
is draw one explosion,
[22:09] Midori
and then copy it, to make it
look like a string of blasts.
[22:14] Kanamoto
I see.
[22:16] Tsubame
Oh, there's that thing where you build up
tension during a big attack...
[22:19] Tsubame
Cut between the tank, the girl,
the tank, and the girl,
[22:21] Tsubame
enough that it starts to seem repetitive!
[22:26] Midori
Ta-dah! A vast world!
[22:29] Midori
A girl in a gas mask!
[22:30] Midori
And her foe...
[22:52] Tsubame
Wouldn't it be easy to shoot
someone who's jumping around?
[22:55] Midori
We can give her a cable gun, then.
[22:59] Midori
And then, while firing
the cable, she climbs up a wall!
[23:03] Midori
All to get in the blind spot of the tank,
[23:05] Midori
since its turret can't aim high enough!
[23:13] Midori
But then!
[23:21] Midori
Will it all work out in the end?!
[23:26] ---
Dun dun...

[00:18] M
The shape's so hazy,
[00:20] M
and the shadows end up looking
totally flat and different...
[00:25] A
I ended up drawing a pond up top,
even though there's no water source.
[00:27] M
How does the smoke flow
from an explosion, anyway?
[00:32] A
This is gonna be hard to adjust.
[00:35] A
Maybe a bunch of roots would imply
capillary action in a way that—
[00:39] M
I'm getting nowhere, and it's
making my brain boil!
[00:49] A
You've gotten really good
at handling a machete.
[00:52] M
I wanted a real one, but they
said it was too dangerous.
[00:55] M
I have no idea how this smoke is moving...
[00:59] A
Smoke can be pretty
complicated in motion.
[01:02] ---
There's nothing wrong with
using live action references,
[01:04] ---
but check out the kind of
stuff our forebears did.
[01:10] M
I guess it can change pretty suddenly,
without much transition, too.
[01:18] M
This has a lot of impact.
[01:20] M
And this one is just shaking the screen?
[01:22] A
You can learn a lot from studying
what our predecessors did!
[01:25] M
There's something about the pace here...
[01:28] K
Both of you, in the PC room, now!
[01:32] A
Hey, there's color, and it's composited!
[01:34] K
Is that really all you have to say?
[01:36] M
This feels totally different
from just flipping pages.
[01:39] M
Since there's no option for previews,
[01:41] M
only getting to see it once it's
finished makes a stronger impression.
[01:43] M
The extra time until it's ready gives
you a more objective view on it...
[01:46] M
You get that, "So that's how
it turned out!" feeling,
[01:47] M
like after you fire some sculpted clay.
[01:49] M
You imagine how it'll turn
out while you work on it,
[01:50] M
but once it's finished, it's hard
to make any corrections.
[01:52] M
It makes you think about where
you could do a better job!
[01:55] M
Since the screen's big
with good picture quality,
[01:57] M
you get a better idea of how it turns out.
[01:59] M
It's still kind of rough...
[02:00] A
Adding sound effects and music
will give it a new vibe, too!
[02:03] A
Gotta say, I can't wait to
see the finished product!
[02:07] K
Do you realize whose job that is?!
[02:10] K
You'd like to see all the finished cuts, yes?
[02:13] K
Because we only have a month
left until our deadline.
[02:15] A
Hang on... is that all we've
got for finished animation?
[02:19] K
Exactly.
[02:21] K
Mizusaki, what cut were
you working on last week?
[02:25] M
Number four...
[02:26] K
What about this week?
[02:29] M
Number... four.
[02:31] K
After an entire month,
we only have four cuts done?!
[02:34] K
This pace is too slow! Try to consider
that we have to finish the entire thing!
[02:38] K
Here we have two typical cuts.
[02:40] K
And here are our four!
[02:43] K
Each one has enough art for 36 cuts.
[02:46] M
You said I could make the
acting realistic, Kanamori!
[02:50] K
Only when there's leeway to do so,
[02:52] K
in the context of finishing
the whole product!
[02:53] K
At this rate, we have no chance of
finishing before the budget committee review!
[02:57] K
You'd need to draw 24 hours a day for
the next month, starting today.
[03:01] M
That impossible! Thirty all-nighters in a row?!
[03:04] K
In that case, we'll shorten it to 48 hours
a day over the course of 15 days.
[03:08] M
All you did was halve one of those
numbers and double the other!
[03:12] A
That ought to give us another ten seconds.
[03:15] K
What kind of magic did you use to do that?
[03:17] A
I added a pure background to the cut.
[03:19] A
Then throw in a little camerawork to jazz it up.
[03:22] A
We don't have to animate every single scene.
[03:25] K
Good! More like that!
[03:26] A
Yes, ma'am!

Now, where's our subject?
[05:04] M
Asakusa! That car!
[05:05] A
Rotating camera platform!
[05:07] A
We can get away with just rotating the
cel for the camera with top down shots!
[05:10] A
Wait, maybe we could rotate
the rest instead...
[05:12] M
Asakusa, hurry!
[05:13] A
Get rid of anything that hasn't been painted
[05:15] A
in an otherwise a pure background shot!
[05:17] A
Got it!
[05:18] A
If it's a close up of a rotating wheel,
[05:20] A
we only need three frames to reuse over and over!
[05:22] M
I'm not a fan of these highlight-only
backgrounds, though.
[05:24] A
Then we can zoom in and add the sky!
[05:26] M
But wouldn't that be a waste,
since we drew the bottom?
[05:29] A
We could cycle three frames for the ground,
[05:31] A
and fade them into the horizon!
[05:32] A
How's that?!
[05:33] A
Plus a side-scrolling cut!
[05:35] M
It's the same background repeating, huh?
[05:37] A
That one is pretty infuriating...
[05:39] A
Okay, let's take a cool pose, and stretch
it out to fill a bunch of time!
[05:43] A
Pan! Pan! Pan!
[05:45] M
Too close!
[05:46] A
Since it's hand-drawn, we just rescan the art.
[05:48] M
These are still roughs!
There's not enough detail.
[05:50] M
The lines...
[05:51] A
So we throw in a light source!
[05:55] A
We can add additional cuts to focus
on the parts with a lot of movement!
[05:59] A
Tight focus, horizontal pan!
[06:00] A
Make the background slightly
off-set from the character!
[06:02] M
This is like cheating.
[06:03] A
Aw, shut it!
[06:04] M
It's not holding up with this zoom,
so I'm gonna add an additional frame.
[06:07] A
That looks more natural!
[06:08] M
I don't really like these kind of loops!
[06:11] M
I'd rather draw a unique fluttering animation.
[06:13] A
Too fancy!
[06:13] M
If it's gonna hold on the shot
for so long, then one more frame!
[06:15] A
That made a difference!
[06:17] A
You take the classics and then add a
little variation to keep things fresh!
[06:21] A
Just like the menu at a popular cafeteria!
[06:23] A
Let's shoot the sky!
[06:26] A
Everybody loves a blue sky with clouds.
[06:28] A
Movies set in summer are bound to
have a shot with clouds scrolling by.
[06:31] A
If a character is framed against the sky,
it makes the backgrounds simple.
[06:34] A
There are lots of panels in
manga with white backgrounds.
[06:37] A
It makes you wonder why the backgrounds
bother being so detailed in anime!
[06:41] A
Manga is monochrome! Is there
really any need for color?
[06:44] M
But it's pretty!
[06:46] A
We can change the level of exposure
to simulate a real camera.
[06:48] A
That's how it works for
the human eye, after all.
[06:50] A
Even if there are no animation cels involved,
[06:52] A
we can't just show a purely static shot!
[06:54] A
That said...
[06:55] A
If we overdo it, the story
is going to fall apart,
[06:59] A
considering we've already
got a storyboard.
[07:00] K
It makes a good impression, though.
[07:03] A
Th-The thing is, even if it
looks good, without a story—
[07:05] K
I'm trying to say that it's already cool.
[07:08] K
Even in black and white.
[07:10] A
You're not about to lay some kinda
weird stuff on us, are you?
[07:13] M
It would be a lot easier
without a story, though.
[07:17] M
You think we can pull that off somehow?
[07:19] K
Let's drop the narrative
and have Asakusa figure out
[07:22] K
a way to re-contextualize it all.
[07:23] A
Whoa, hold on—
[07:24] K
We do not have enough time for
additional color, sound, or photography.
[07:29] M
Wait, you mean actually going monochrome?!
[07:31] K
It should be fine.
[07:32] K
We'll make it stylized, and present it
like a preview for the finished product.
[07:35] K
Manga is monochrome too, but it's still
a full-fledged entertainment product.
[07:38] A
But the story...
[07:42] K
The story won't matter if we can't finish it!
[07:45] K
Listen. As long as we can deliver on
this presentation, we'll have funding.

Then, by all means, make whatever
you want, however you want.

We're going into this

[09:51] A
I think it'd be good for the

[09:54] A
with simple proportion changes.
[09:55] A
The way the lines stay clean even
when you zoom in is pretty handy.
SIGN Finished In-Betweens
[09:59] K
But if we can't use digital at all,
we won't be able to finish.
[10:03] K
Is it all right if I ask the art club
for help with the backgrounds?
[10:07] K
I want you to be able to back
Mizusaki up as soon as possible.
[10:11] A
I couldn't possibly start bossing
around the folks in the art club...
[10:17] K
Then we'll use solid white or
black shots for backgrounds.
[10:21] K
And the remainder of our cuts will
be panning, static lip sync shots.
[10:24] M
Using lip sync shots when there isn't
any dialog?! That misses the whole point!
[10:28] K
Then it'll have to be a static picture story.
[10:30] M
We can't do that! No way!
[10:33] K
Would you rather screen the
line art we have right now?
[10:36] K
I'm going to talk to the art club.
SIGN Hold That Machete Tight!
[11:16] K
The art club was no help.
[11:18] K
They've got their hands full preparing
for the budget review committee,
[11:22] K
and apparently don't feel anime backgrounds
[11:23] K
are a sufficient outlet for
their artistic ambitions.
[11:26] K
That being the case...
[11:28] K
Moving forward, it'll be
stills and keyframes only—
[11:30] M
I'll test out the automatic
in-betweening program!
[11:33] M
In exchange, can I still do the cuts
that I want to focus on by hand?
[11:37] K
That should be fine, as long as
you pull back some on other cuts,
[11:41] K
and are willing to split the
work with Asakusa occasionally.
[11:43] M
Okay! Then I'll put my focus where
it's needed, and get get to work!
[11:46] K

It's better than I thought!
[12:03] A
This is gonna work!
[12:05] A
The lines are clean and flow smoothly,

Yeah, something about 4:00 AM says,
"It's morning now," huh?
[13:19] K
So, were you able to finish?
[13:22] A
I'd say it's less about finishing
or completing the project,
[13:25] A
and more the outcome of passion
crashing against compromise and resignation.
[13:28] K
Where's Mizusaki?
[13:30] A
The last cut is a pretty beefy one...
[13:33] K
I suppose we'll have to
use line art for that one.
[13:37] A
No time to color it, huh?
[13:39] A
I gotta say, there's something
humiliating about having to toss out the story
[13:43] A
in favor of doing something
more like a preview!
[13:46] K
Given the situation we were in,
what was the alternative?
[13:49] K
And even then, we ended up having to stay
[13:50] K
at school overnight the
day before the screening.
[13:53] K
The night watch is going to
be making the rounds soon.
[13:56] A
That's bad, Kanamori!
[13:58] A
Then again, considering we never left,
[14:00] A
it's not like we snuck in,
so we won't be arrested.
[14:02] K
You realize being on campus
outside of designated hours is

[14:06] A

Our club room was damaged

The school has admitted that already,

and if there is an issue with
the outsiders on school grounds,
[17:25] K
that would be a matter to
bring up with the school
[17:27] K

A giant model robot that's been passed
down through the robot club's history,
[03:31] Kobayashi
and although it's undergone modifications,
it dates back over 100 years!
[03:35] Kobayashi
The robot club's roots can be
traced back to the late 1800s,
[03:38] Kobayashi
before anyone knew what a "robot" was,
[03:41] Kobayashi
with a collection of individuals
who studied French culture,
[03:44] Kobayashi
and were fascinated with "The Future Eve."
[03:46] Kobayashi
With the dawn of the 1900s, Japan created
Asia's first robot, Gakutensoku,
[03:52] Kobayashi
which led to a shift in the
group's focus to giant robots.
[03:55] Kobayashi
And after basing their first model
on the robot from 1952's
[03:59] Kobayashi
The King and the Mockingbird,
it's continued to be modified...
[04:02] Kobayashi

[04:20] K
If nothing else, we'll be getting paid.
[04:23] A
You're such a money-grubber!
[04:24] A
Bam!
[04:25] K
You accept money in order to

[04:29] K
Pay exists to ensure a
quality standard for labor.
[04:33] K
If we're accepting money for this job,
[04:34] K
it means we have an obligation
to deliver to a certain standard.
[04:38] ---
Which sounds more wholesome:
[04:40] ---
accepting money for something
and being responsible for it,
[04:42] ---
or not getting paid and not
caring how it turns out?
[04:45] M
Yeah, but wouldn't not
having to worry about money
[04:47] M
and just making anime be the best?
[04:50] A
I was thinking that!
[04:51] K
Absolutely not!
[04:53] K
It's 3.5 meters in height,
[04:55] K
weighs 4.7 tons, and can
move at up to 70 km/h...
[04:59] M
That's fast... Wait, this thing can run?!
[05:01] A
Nah, that ain't happening.
It's got no power source.
[05:04] M
It says they want it to fight a giant monster.
[05:06] A
I don't see how it can be all that giant.
[05:08] Goto
I mean... three meters is pretty big!
[05:11] Ono
Building-sized giant monsters are unrealistic!
[05:14] A
I dunno about buildings, but a
giraffe is taller than this thing.
[05:17] A
If the monster is only three meters tall,
[05:19] A
wouldn't a heavy machine gun do the job?
[05:21] Ono
Shooting in the middle of
the city is too dangerous,
[05:23] Ono
so they need the robot to take it down!
[05:25] M
Wouldn't ramming it with a truck be easier?
[05:27] K
It says that the monster has a heat attack.
[05:29] M
Okay, now that is unrealistic!
[05:31] A
Maybe a fire-breathing giraffe...
[05:31] K
I'd like to get a broad estimate on the budget,
[05:33] A
No, it could be a rhino that threatens
to burn the whole city down.
[05:34] K
so I can break down the time frame
and the work hours involved.
[05:35] A
Like how the Asian bombardier beetle can
[05:36] A
emit a gas that's over 100 degrees Celsius.
[05:38] M
Seriously?
[05:39] M
You'd need a machine gun for sure.
[05:40] A
Y'know, "massive frontal profile"
[05:41] K
It'll also help with my analysis,
which is already under way,
[05:41] A
is basically giant humanoid
robots in a nutshell.
[05:43] K
and knowing exactly how much
more I need to figure out.
[05:45] M
Having an opening in the front
would be like an exposed weakness,
[05:48] M
so wouldn't it make more sense
for the hatch to be on the back?

[07:26] K
Is this it?
[07:28] A
Seems like it.
[07:29] M
Man, it goes so far down!
[07:33] A
This underground pit is supposed
to predate the school's construction.
[07:35] K
Why, exactly?
[07:36] A
They built it beforehand to make it easier
to maintain pipes and the like.
[07:40] M
This is absolutely the kind of
place a creature would pop up!
[07:45] M
Are you scared, Asakusa?
[07:48] M
All right, let's start scouting the location
for our robot-versus-monster battle!
[07:52] A
But I don't like being scared!
[07:53] M
You're the one who wanted to
stage the battle down here.
[08:01] M
And we're already stuck.
[08:03] A
It's rusted shut.
[08:04] A
I think I've got some oil...
[08:10] A
Scared...
[08:11] A
Well, it didn't open! Let's leave!
[08:13] K
There's no such thing as
a door that doesn't open.
[08:15] K
A door's whole job is opening.
[08:18] K
So do your damn job!
[08:19] ---
[08:21] M
Classic Kanamori! She can even get
inanimate objects to fall in line.
[08:25] K
Considering this isn't live action,
is location scouting really necessary?
[08:28] A
Experience makes a difference.
[08:30] K
For the record, I'm not here
to play explorer with you two.
[08:33] A
It helps stoke...
[08:36] A
the imagination.
[08:40] M
Seems pretty... haunted down here, huh?
SIGN Asakusa's Anti-Poltergeist Loadout
[08:57] M
Hey, it's those shoes for kids
that light up when you walk!
[08:59] A
We're looking for monsters,
not ghosts! Get serious!
[09:02] M
Oh, I'm sorry! What else do
you have in that bag, Asakusa?
[09:08] A
I'm not saying!
[09:09] K
Would you two please focus on this?
[09:12] K
We're going to have the spotlight
at the culture festival.
[09:16] A
You didn't mention that!
[09:17] K
The theme this year is robots, so the
robot club will be the big stars.
[09:21] K
We're doing a promotional video for them,
which will be good for us, too.
[09:26] M
That's a pretty big spotlight!
[09:28] A
I'd settle for a desk lamp.
[09:29] A
I've always preferred quiet places,
away from the lights.
[09:32] M
I thought you were afraid of the dark.
[09:34] K
If you want people to appreciate your work,
it needs to see the light of day.
[09:39] A
Isn't that the exact opposite
of what we're doing right now?!
[09:42] A
And for the record, dark places
don't bother me. Creepy ones do!
[09:50] A
Those boards are gonna break!
Walk along the walls!
[09:52] K
It'll be fine.
[09:53] A
But they sound so dull. And soft.
[09:55] A
They're rotten!
[09:56] A
If there's a big hole underneath, we'll be dead!
[09:59] K
It looks like there's more space up ahead.
[10:04] M
Fantastic! This place is perfect!
[10:06] K
You're taking pictures too, Mizusaki?
[10:08] M
Of course I am!
[10:09] M
There's background animation to consider,
[10:11] M
and the setting influences the movement!
[10:15] M
Like that beam that looks
like it could collapse!
[10:27] K
What exactly are you doing?
[10:28] A
Picturing the in-frame imagery, I bet.
[10:30] K
That looks an awful lot like screwing around.
[10:33] A
Well, it kind of is.
[10:35] A
We're making something fun.
[10:36] A
It's better to get out in the world
than stare at a blank sheet of paper.
[10:40] A
Locations like this feed your imagination.
[10:42] A
The things you experience
personally lead to originality.
[10:45] A
Do you follow?
[10:47] K
Over your fear of the dark now?
[10:54] A
I forgot until you reminded me.
[10:56] M
Asakusa!
[10:57] M
Come here for a sec!
[10:59] A
Whatcha want?
[11:00] M
I want the monster to blast out of here!
[11:03] A
From water?
[11:04] ---
Yeah.
[11:08] A
From out of the mist it appears...
[11:10] A
A giant pistol crabtle!
[11:12] M
Is that the right size?
[11:13] A
It's a giant monster with
an arm like a pistol shrimp,
SIGN A Turtle x Crab
Monster That Has
the Claw of a
Pistol Shrimp!
SIGN Weight:
Height:
Length:
SIGN Has no tail
SIGN Pistol Crabtle:
Combines Crab and
"tle" from turtle"
SIGN The shell's thickness can change
over time. Used defensively,
but also helps with thermoregulation.
SIGN Crab liver
SIGN Crab intestines
SIGN Crab stomach
SIGN The crabtle has two arms and four legs.
These legs are supporting a body
that weighs over six tons.
SIGN Crab vision:
Not particularly
good or bad
SIGN Legs are covered in scales
[11:16] A
that resembles both a crab and a turtle.
[11:18] A
By locking its open claw, flexing,
and then releasing the lock,
SIGN Bam!
SIGN This part is flexible
SIGN Locks it's open claw, builds up it's strength, and releases the lock to slam it shut, causing a shockwave. Can defeat an African elephant in an instant. Is more dangerous in the water.
[11:21] A
the claws snap shut with a ton of force,
causing a powerful shock wave!
[11:25] A
It likes to eat Japanese alders
that grow in wetlands.
SIGN Likes to eat Japanese alders that grow in wetlands
SIGN What it looks like when eating
SIGN Closes with over one ton of force,
but its opening strength isn't remarkable. Like a crocodile's jaws.
SIGN Omnivorous; will eat wood,
aquatic plants, and algae.
SIGN Here it's eating water
chestnuts. Will not eat
them when they are
still covered in spines.
[11:29] A
They're generally pretty docile,
and in the old days,
SIGN Their relatively docile nature meant that, in the old days, people who lived in the wetlands used them for trade and land development.
[11:31] A
they helped the people of the wetlands
with trade and land development!
[11:36] K
That sounds more like livestock.
[11:39] M
It's endearing, though.
[11:42] A
Couldn't you turn it into roast crab
with a flamethrower, even without a robot?
[11:47] K
You're going to set the robot club off again.
[11:49] M
Asakusa, sometimes your focus on
realism can be pretty harsh on fiction.
[11:53] A
Facing it will be our robot!
[11:56] M
What should its weapon be?
[11:58] A
How about fighting with a chainsaw?
[12:00] M
Do you know how much work
those teeth are to draw?!
[12:02] A
You can't tell them apart when
it's spinning, so it's fine.
[12:05] A
The handle!
[12:06] A
A recoil starter!
[12:14] A
The pistol crab's special attack
is the massive shock wave
[12:17] A
generated when it unlocks
its claw after flexing!
[12:23] K
That's kind of like a forehead flick.
[12:28] A
So the robot digs into the
ground with the chainsaw...
[12:31] A
And uses it to move faster!
[12:35] M
That's really intense! It seems super strong!
[12:37] A
Let's head back!
[12:38] K
You're just scared, aren't you?!
[12:41] M
Asakusa—
[12:42] A
Hang on, don't push!
[12:51] A
We fell!
[12:52] K
I noticed.
[12:54] A
This is why I said to walk along the walls!
[12:56] M
We're lucky these leaves were here.
[12:59] M
And it's nice and warm.
[13:01] M
Let's calm down and call for―
[13:03] K
No reception.
[13:06] M
This place was used to dump leaves.
[13:09] M
And it's warm because the
leaves are fermenting!
[13:12] M
Which means there's gas everywhere...
[13:13] M
If we stay here for too long, we'll die!
SIGN Dead
[13:18] A
At times like this...
[13:20] A
You take out your rope,
[13:21] A
take a sock off,
[13:22] A
put your Swiss army knife in the sock,
[13:25] A
tie it to the rope, and throw it!
[13:28] A
Take out your collapsible shovel,
[13:29] A
pile up the leaves and dirt in one spot,
[13:32] A
to get some height...
[13:34] A
And escape!
[13:35] M
Holy cow.
[13:36] K
That's just who she is.
[13:39] K
Now that we've got our
suggestions for the setting,
[13:42] K
it's time for a meeting with the robot club.
[13:45] M
Did you get a haircut, Kanamori?
[13:47] K
I did.
[13:48] A
Girls, this is our first paid job!
[13:51] A
We'll need game faces on in there!
[13:53] M
I didn't know you could be so motivational.
[13:58] K
She's awkward in conversations,
[13:59] K
so she tries to sound quirky
as an emotional defense.
[14:02] A
Are you trying to make me more defensive?!
[14:03] K
The deal is basically done already,
[14:05] K
so the presentation should
be a piece of cake.
[14:08] K
We won't try to sell them
on our own suggestions,
[14:12] K
but instead, choose one of
their suggestions to work on,
[14:14] K
all while nudging things in
the direction we want to take.
[14:17] A
Do you think they'll get mad again?
[14:20] K
It's not an actual disagreement,
[14:22] K
so as long as they think they're in charge,
it'll be a pretty smooth process.
[14:26] K
But for the worst case scenario...
It wouldn't hurt to have an advantage.
[14:32] K
I'll put my feelers out for blackmail bait.
[14:35] Ono
The eizouken is bad news!
[14:37] Ono
They're nothing but trouble!
[14:38] Ono
I heard them mention that nonsense
about frontal profiles myself!
[14:42] Kobayashi
There goes Ono, again.
[14:43] Ono
Those girls don't even enjoy fictional robots!
[14:47] Ono
The entire reason we wanted this anime made
[14:49] Ono
was to secure funding for our new giant robot!
[14:53] Kobayashi
Yeah, but—
[14:54] Ono
And who are we partnered with?!
[14:55] Ono
The kind of plebs that would make an
anime about a robot losing to a tank!
[14:59] Ono
Even though the entire point of giant
robots is that they're a fantasy!
[15:03] Ono
Here! This is the plan I've put together
to keep the eizouken under control!
[15:07] Goto
When did you have time to make this?
SIGN Take Down the Eizouken
[15:09] Ono
We need to think seriously
about one thing!
[15:11] Ono
Our love for robots, which the
eizouken could never understand!
[15:14] Ono
And the beauty of that love, and our ideology!
[15:17] Ono
At this rate, we're going to be
responsible for a reprehensible anime,
[15:21] Ono
with the eizouken cooking up
something full of homing lasers
[15:21] K
Excuse us...
[15:23] K
Excuse us!
[15:24] A
No response.
[15:24] Ono
and sudden power ups, instead of realism!
[15:25] M
He is being loud.
[15:26] Kobayashi
Ono...
[15:27] Kobayashi
Wait, Ono!
[15:28] Kobayashi
Before you said the whole appeal
of giant robots is the fantasy!
[15:30] K
Excuse us.
[15:31] K
We're here.
SIGN Take Down the Eizouken
[15:31] Ono
Before that unrealistic nonsense gets made,
SIGN Take Down the Eizouken
[15:35] Ono
we need to find some advantage
over the eizouken!
[15:41] K
Well, our client certainly
doesn't seem to trust us.
[15:46] Ono
Forgive me...
[15:48] K
Such a lack of faith.
[15:49] K
There have been times when this sort of
thing could get you executed, you know?
SIGN Take Down the Eizouken
[15:52] K
I think I'll make a record
of this, for future use.
SIGN Take Down the Eizouken
SIGN Take Down the Eizouken
[15:58] A
Kanamori is really good at negotiating.
[16:01] M
I don't know if that's what I'd call it.
[16:08] Seki
Your tea.
[16:10] K
We've got our documents right here.
[16:12] Ono
Right...
[16:12] K
Asakusa, you can show them the actual proposal.
[16:16] A
Oh, right.
[16:17] K
The idea is for it to take place on
the Shibahama High School campus.
[16:21] Kobayashi
All right...
[16:22] K
Next are the details on the giant monster.
SIGN A Turtle x Crab
Monster That Has
the Claw of a
Pistol Shrimp!
SIGN Weight:
Height:
Length:
SIGN Has no tail
SIGN Pistol Crabtle:
Combines Crab and
"tle" from turtle"
SIGN The shell's thickness can change over time. Is used defensively, but also helps with thermoregulation.
SIGN Crab liver
SIGN Crab intestines
SIGN Crab stomach
SIGN The crabtle has two arms
and four legs. These legs
are supporting a body
that weighs over six tons.
SIGN Crab vision:
Not particularly
good or bad
SIGN Legs are covered in scales
SIGN View from above
[16:26] Kobayashi
Is that a turtle?
[16:27] A
I-It's a crabtle.
[16:29] A
From combining crab and turtle... crabtle.
[16:33] A
It can generate shock waves with
its claws, and has a heat attack.
[16:36] A
Underwater, it can create
cavitation by closing its claws,
[16:39] A
which results in sonoluminescence,
[16:40] A
the plasma from which reaches
a temperature of 5000 degrees Kelvin...
[16:44] A
And a pressure of 1000 millibars.
[16:45] Kobayashi
W-Whoa, isn't that a little extreme?
[16:48] A
It's an ability taken from pistol shrimps,
which live in the Atlantic Ocean.
[16:53] A
Since it's 507.3 times the size,
its abilities increase proportionately.
[16:58] A
The robot sticks the chainsaw on its right arm
[17:01] A
into the ground in order to move at high speeds.
[17:03] Kobayashi
This is great, Ono.
[17:05] Kobayashi
Doesn't sound like there are
any last minute power-ups,
[17:07] Kobayashi
but it's just fantastical enough that—
[17:08] Ono
This is all wrong!
[17:09] Ono
It can't have a flashy weapon like a chainsaw!
[17:11] Ono
And it sounds like there's too much action!
[17:13] Ono
I thought the robot club's goal was
preaching the merits of down-to-earth,
[17:16] Ono
real robot aesthetics!
[17:18] M
But real robots are more like...
[17:20] Ono
Not what I meant!
[17:21] Ono
The big ones! That people pilot!
[17:24] A
Then...
[17:24] Ono
Not that, either!
[17:27] Ono
It has to be humanoid and piloted by someone!
[17:29] Ono
And it fights!
SIGN Seeing someone stump for such a
typical contradiction is disheartening.
[17:31] Ono
It needs to be realistic! Like in
real life! A real-life giant robot!
[17:35] A
Realistically speaking, I thought it
was generally accepted that humanoid robots
[17:38] A
exceeding a certain size
have really limited uses.
[17:42] Kobayashi
It's true that human-scale
ones could do more jobs.
[17:45] Kobayashi
They'd be more versatile, I guess.
[17:47] Goto
It's frustrating, really.
[17:49] Goto
Even when tanks stop being useful,
[17:51] Goto
it won't mean bipedal robots being deployed.
[17:53] Goto
They'll probably just make stronger tanks.
[17:56] Seki
Yeah, realistically speaking,
they'd probably evacuate the town
SIGN Glass
Bottles
Fragile
[17:58] Seki
and then bring out the tanks.
[18:00] Seki
People who want to make robots
because of anime run into that fact
[18:04] Seki
sooner or later...
[18:06] Kobayashi
But what we're after has always been
the machines we've admired in movies,
[18:09] Kobayashi
manga, light novels, and anime.
SIGN Take Down the Eizouken
[18:12] M
So it's reality that doesn't
care about humanoid robots.
[18:16] M
Come to think of it, there are
fewer giant robot anime lately...
[18:20] M
Should I have not brought that up?
[18:22] A
Yep.
[18:23] Ono
I get it.
[18:25] Ono
I know it's actually impossible!
[18:29] Ono
I realize that... it's probably impossible.
[18:31] Ono
But I still want to pilot a robot, okay?!
[18:35] Ono
So much I could die! Damn it!
[18:38] Ono
"Anything one man can imagine,
another man can make real"?!
[18:42] Ono
Screw whoever said that!
[18:44] Ono
Even if it's possible, if it
doesn't happen during my lifetime,
[18:48] Ono
then that Wells guy sold me a bill of goods!
SIGN What a huge
pain in the neck.
[18:50] Ono
I can see it right now when I close my eyes...
SIGN I wish I had blackmail material to speed this negotiation along.
[18:55] Ono
And when I try to think about it
realistically, it becomes contradictory!
SIGN Take Down the Eizouken
[18:59] Ono
I hate how it puts me in this place
where all I can do is dream!
[19:01] Ono
I hate it so damn much!
[19:03] K
I see now.
[19:04] K
He's not making sense because he
can't visualize the finished product.
[19:10] K
That makes him so anxious,
[19:11] K
all he can manage is a passionate
plea full of incoherent ranting.
[19:15] K
If we present a calm response,
[19:18] K
it should calm him down
and make controlling them—
[19:21] A
I wanna travel to the fringes of space!
[19:24] A
I cry in the bath every night
about how big the universe is!
[19:27] M
I try to do a Hadoken every night before bed!
[19:31] K
You two are crying now?
[19:33] Ono
I like to imagine I'm in a cockpit
when I'm on the toilet...
[19:37] Trio
Comrade!
SIGN Sudden harmony
[19:39] K
I have huge problems with people who
solve problems with emotional appeals.
[19:44] A
All right, let's modify this robot together!
[19:48] Goto
You mentioned having the hatch
in the front would be a weakness,
[19:52] Goto
and moving it to the back would help, right?
[19:55] A
In the name of high adventure,
[19:56] A
we're going to keep it in the front,
like your actual model Talos.
[19:59] A
Plus...
[20:03] A
You can do a shot reverse shot
with the pilot and robot.
[20:05] A
Like this...
[20:07] A
Which makes for a really cool
depiction of two pilots talking!
[20:11] Kobayashi
I'm not so sure.
[20:12] Kobayashi
I think having it open up
in front seems weaker, too.
[20:16] Ono
But the back of a robot
has to look cool, too!
[20:19] A
Okay, then.
[20:21] A
In that case, we'll ditch the
rule of cool on the hatch,
[20:23] A
and go for a safer choice.
[20:25] K
She's got a tendency to only enjoy working
[20:27] K
when there's some odd line
of reasoning into it.
[20:31] A
Right here.
[20:32] A
Let's make the entrance on the top.
[20:35] Kobayashi
That works.
[20:36] A
Next up is the cockpit.
[20:39] A
It's not a cockpit unless
it looks like this!
[20:41] A
Analog-style instruments.
[20:43] A
CRT monitors have good response time.
[20:46] M
The main monitor seems to have
a pretty wide range of vision.
[20:49] M
Is the camera in the mono-eye
really going to cut it?
[20:51] Goto
Should we add more?
[20:52] Seki
Cameras?
[20:53] Ono
Let's change it.
[20:54] Kobayashi
Let's change the model and add some.
[20:56] Ono
We'll add more, and different, cameras!
[20:58] A
Copy that.
[20:59] Goto
The kind of cameras and sensors that
robots use are usually along these lines.
[21:04] Goto
So if we combine them...
[21:07] A
Cool!
[21:07] Ono
Lame!
[21:08] A
Okay, how about something like this?
[21:11] A
Ta-dah!
[21:12] Goto
It's got kind of a classic vibe.
[21:15] M
Time to activate!
[21:25] K
Are all these switches
actually helpful as controls?
[21:28] M
It shows that the people making robot anime
[21:31] M
ultimately put their faith in people!
[21:34] M
I'm disengaging the break!
[21:38] M
Starboard clear!
[21:40] M
Port side clear!
[21:42] M
All clear below!
[21:43] M
We're rising up! Please brace yourselves!
[21:46] A
Wasn't it standing already?
[21:49] M
Time to go for it!
[21:52] A
All at once?!
[21:54] A
Oh man, I forgot seat belts!
[21:55] M
Those are important!
[21:57] M
We'll partially engage the clutch,
and then make our way up!
[22:04] M
That's a lot of Gs!
[22:08] M
Time to straighten up!
[22:20] Kobayashi
It... It stood!
[22:23] Seki
I want a pile bunker!
[22:26] A
Okay!
[22:26] M
It'd be a good idea to change
the body to match the face!
[22:28] A
A hydraulic cutter! Snip!
[22:30] Kobayashi
We've come this far, let's go harder!
[22:33] Ono
How about a drill?
[22:35] A
A boom-mounted cutting head!
[22:37] Goto
Is it a hole-digging robot now?!
[22:39] A
This one, then!
[22:41] Ono
Those bits are for wood!
[22:42] A
Ah, you noticed.
[22:44] Ono
You realize the robot club is a
technical club, right? Of course I did!
[22:47] Ono
At least use one for metal!
[22:51] Kobayashi
It's already got a chainsaw!
We're gonna need more arms.
[22:54] K
Can you even animate something
with all these add-ons?
[22:57] K
Why not just remove the legs and make it fly?
[23:00] M
That'd take the fun out of making it move!
[23:02] M
But... is it okay if we cover up the joints?
[23:07] A
It's done!
[23:08] Kobayashi
Holy cow!
[23:09] Goto
It looks totally different.
[23:13] M
Isn't it kinda... elaborate?
[23:16] K
Are you sure you can animate this thing?
[23:19] A
We ended up with a blue-collar robot!

[00:12] M
If we're going to have dialog,
that means we need voice actors, right?
[00:14] M
We'll need to hold auditions.
[00:15] K
I'd wait until the storyboard
is done to worry about that.
[00:18] M
What about backgrounds?
[00:19] A
Colored this time. Naturally, I'll—
[00:21] K
The art club actually wants
to help us out this time.
[00:25] K
They said our work
[00:26] K
made an impression on them at the
budget committee, much like the robot club.
[00:30] M
Huh, that's pretty cool.
[00:32] k
I'm sure they realize they
can get something out of it.
[00:34] k
As soon as Asakusa finishes the storyboards,
[00:36] k
we'll meet with them to
hash out the backgrounds.
[00:38] M
A meeting...
[00:40] K
You're going to need to explain
to them what kind of art we need.
[00:44] A
I-I can't tell people what to do...
[00:47] K
Well, you also can't draw the backgrounds
for every cut on your own, can you?
[00:51] K
No groaning, moaning, or excuses.
[00:54] K
There's one other hurdle to deal with.
[00:57] K
The robot club has requested that an

We'll discuss it in more detail
once the demo track is ready.
[01:08] A
What about the music during the actual film?
[01:10] M
I think it should be epic!
[01:15] A
Could you handle that, Mizusaki?
[01:17] M
Never done it before.
What about you, Asakusa?
[01:20] A
I've never had a chance to try before.
[01:25] M
I'll ask around to see if
anyone I know writes music.
[01:28] K
We've got three times the amount
of time for production...
[01:32] K
But will our club activity
time be enough, Mizusaki?
[01:34] M
No way! I've gotta work at home, too!
[01:37] M
Animating designs with so many
lines is a ton of work, y'know.
[01:41] M
They say you're not a real animator
until you can do 500 pieces of art a month,
[01:45] M
but for anime, you need to be able
to draw the necessary amount of art
[01:48] M
at the required standard of quality,
[01:50] M
which is nothing like randomly dashing
off 500 doodles of whatever you want!
[01:54] K
How difficult is it, exactly?
[01:57] M
Imagine having to draw 500 rough drafts
while wearing gloves and handcuffs,
[02:03] M
and if you're even 0.02 millimeters
off from frame to frame, you end up in hell.
[02:07] M
But even before that, imagine having
to uniformly draw ten pieces of art
[02:10] M
that accurately move a millimeter at a time,
while wearing armor, or you starve.
[02:14] M
Having to draw three pieces
of art, every hour,
[02:16] M
with so many lines, while thinking
about how it moves?
[02:18] M
It's basically a curse!
[02:18] M
Producing anime while in
high school is impossible!
[02:22] K
So the entire premise of this club is invalid.
[02:27] K
How are things coming along
for you, Asakusa?
[02:30] A
So far, so good!
[02:31] K
I'm pretty sure that can't be the case
since we're having to adjust the schedule
[02:34] K
based on your progress with the storyboards.
[02:36] K
Mizusaki, do you have any suggestions
for how we can improve our efficiency?
[02:39] M
Well, it'd definitely be faster if
we had a computer in the club room.
[02:44] M
That way, we can handle the finishing
touches and the photography here.
[02:47] A
Having to use the PC room every time
we need to make slight adjustments
[02:49] A
definitely eats up time.
[02:53] K
I'm heading out.

They're really important.

Good question. What should we do?
[08:16] M
For now, I can look into
using royalty-free ones.
[08:19] K
That reminds me, I've made
arrangements for a computer.
[08:22] M
How much was it?
[08:23] K
Thirty-two thousand yen.
[08:25] A
That is a thuggishly low price!
[08:27] K
I talked to the information
service research group.
[08:30] K
Apparently, every time they
put together a new PC,
[08:33] K
they dispose of the old one,
no matter how powerful it was.
[08:37] A
Like when they tear down new buildings
[08:38] A
just to throw up newer ones.
[08:40] M
What about the software and other stuff?
[08:41] K
It's already taken care of.
[08:43] A
It is?!
[08:44] A
You sure about this, Kanamori?
[08:47] A
We're not gonna get raided later, are we?
[08:50] K
Would you put a sock in it already,
you cowardly raccoon dog?
[08:54] K
For the software... the school
already had paid for the licenses.
[08:58] K
So it's... basically free.
[09:07] Server
Here you are. One red pepper ramen.
[09:09] M
I guess this is part of why she's so tall.
[09:11] A
Her ramen's gonna get cold.
[09:13] M
Okay, I'm ready to start
drawing when I get home!
[09:15] M
If we're doing this on PC, there's a
tablet at home I can animate on.
[09:19] A
You sure you won't get caught?
[09:20] M
It's easy to hide stuff when you're in bed!
[09:23] M
I'm gonna be animating at home and on the train!
[09:25] M
Our goal this time is to complete this anime!
[09:28] K
Completion isn't our goal,
it's a predetermined outcome!
[09:35] K
We're not starting production,
we've already started!
[09:39] A
That is a terrifying way to eat.
[09:42] K

This place is totally amazing!
[11:35] A
This room has every sound

[11:39] K
And how much do those cost to use?
[11:42] A
There are free libraries,

[13:34] Doumeki
And you want me to clear out in a rush?
When there's four whole rooms?!
[13:37] Doumeki
That's not happening, especially considering
I don't have a budget.
[13:40] A
Wait, there's another four rooms like this?!
[13:42] Doumeki
The whole reason I joined
was the sound library,
[13:44] Doumeki
but I'm the only club member...

And now I'm supposed to clear
out right after joining?
[13:48] Doumeki
I'm begging you, could you
pretend you didn't see me?
[13:51] Doumeki
Either that, or loan me some cash?
[13:54] K
You expect a loan when your club's got no budget
[13:56] K
and is on the verge of
being dissolved? Damn, you're dumb.

What?! I won't let them dissolve the club!

outcomes for you right now.

Stop those sound effects right now!
[14:45] A
This is what we're actually dealing with.
[14:55] Doumeki
Please, make it stop!
[15:01] A
We've got basically no sound effect files.
[15:04] K
And even if we were to take
all of these files in,
[15:07] K
we wouldn't be able to
digitize them quickly enough.
[15:10] K
How about it?
[15:11] K
We're willing to loan the
sound club our two stories
[15:14] K
and one basement's worth of storage.
[15:16] K
We'll also guarantee your independence
and continued existence.
[15:18] K
In exchange, we'll be granted
free use of your sound library.
[15:24] K
You can digitize and sell
[15:25] K
the sound club's library in
order to secure your own funds,
[15:28] K
and we'll take a service fee.
[15:31] K
One other thing... I'd like you to
be an audio advisor on our projects.
[15:36] Doumeki
If it'll keep the club from being dissolved,
and won't cost me anything...
[15:40] Doumeki
O-Okay, agreed.
[15:42] K
We have a deal, then.
[15:44] A
Yes! We just scored all
the sound effects we need!
[15:47] K
You'll need to empty this place
out and move everything today.
[15:50] Doumeki
Whoa, I can't manage that! I've got
my hands full with existing business!
[15:55] Doumeki
I should be able to manage next month...
[15:56] K
I suppose that'll have to do.
[15:59] K
But make it some time this month.
[16:02] Doumeki

[17:01] K
Asakusa has this ability to draw an
incredible amount once she gets going,
[17:04] K
but she spends too much
time not drawing otherwise.
[17:07] K
How do the storyboards look, Mizusaki?
[17:11] A
There's a big clang, and then a rumble...
[17:14] A
And boom...
[17:20] K
Four days of delays, and then
three days' worth of progress.
[17:30] K
Asakusa's motivation switch...
[17:36] Okamoto
Okay, lemme introduce you.
[17:38] Okamoto
I'm the club president, Okamoto.
[17:40] Okamoto
And working on this is gonna be...
[17:42] Okamoto
Nakamura and Kubo.
They're both second-years.
[17:45] Nakamura
I'm Nakamura.
[17:47] Kubo
I'm Kubo. It's nice to meet you.
[17:50] A
H-Hello there! It's nice to meet you!
[17:52] K
Let's begin, then. Asakusa?
[17:55] A
R-Right!
[17:57] A
Uh, um...
[17:58] K
Here's the storyboard.
We've also got the data for you.
[18:03] A
This scene takes place at around 6:00 AM,
[18:05] A
so the light would be coming
from this direction.
[18:07] Nakamura
Huh? What're these holes?
[18:10] A
Oh, those are for pegs.
[18:12] Nakamura
What pegs?
[18:14] A
Uh, well, um...
[18:17] Kubo
They hold the animation paper in
place when animation is being drawn.
[18:21] Kubo
It's also on the layouts, so you
can use them to make sure
[18:24] Kubo
the animation and backgrounds line up correctly.
[18:31] A
They'll be fastened to them too,
[18:33] A
so please be sure to note the peg
locations in the backgrounds.
[18:35] Nakamura
What color is this car? And the model?
[18:38] A
Uh, the car is going to be
a cel, so we'll be drawing that.
[18:41] A
Anything you see that's yellow will be on a cel.
[18:43] Nakamura
A cel? What's that?
[18:45] A
Well, it's not actually a cel in this case...
[18:50] A
So, considering the type of material...
[18:52] Okamoto
Hey, why's there no students around?
[18:55] Okamoto
Wouldn't a buncha people running
around be more of an anime thing?
[18:58] Okamoto
Not that I'd know, but...
[19:00] A
W-Well, having additional people
makes it more difficult to draw.
[19:04] A
That's why it's going to take
place so early in the day.
[19:06] Okamoto
Yeah, but don'tcha think it'd be weird
if there wasn't a night watchman around, y'know?
[19:14] Okamoto
Oh, sorry? Did I say something funny?
[19:18] Okamoto
Never mind me!
[19:20] Nakamura
What were you thinking for this one?
[19:21] A
Uh... W-Well...
[19:23] N
Something like this?
[19:24] A
Oh, right. Yes.
[19:26] A
You just need something similar
in atmosphere. I'll leave the details to you.
[19:30] A
But since it's going to need to match the cel,
[19:32] A
make sure you keep these lines intact—
[19:33] Nakamura
Okay.
[19:35] Nakamura
So, where is this building?
[19:37] A
R-Right...
[19:40] A
Wait, what?
SIGN Film
[19:44] M
Welcome back!
[19:45] M
Huh? Where's Asakusa?
[19:49] K
She needed to oxygenate her depleted brain.
[19:58] A
Obsidian!
[20:00] A
If the soil here was brought
in from the residential area,
[20:03] A
that means there might be more
obsidian over on that mountain...
[20:06] A
Since the school grounds are
reclaimed land from a lake.
[20:11] A
A groundhopper! They're so round and cute!
[20:13] A
Groundhopper goes in the creature log.
[20:16] A
I'll mark the boat remains and tires
as not being able to be removed.
[20:20] A
As for the geological log,
I found some obsidian.
[20:22] A
Soil is mostly clay, but with lots of stones.
[20:28] A
There's a logic to all things.
[20:31] A
A monster-fighting robot...
[20:33] A
Wait. Is this really what we should go with?
[20:36] A
I've been trying to avoid thinking about it,
[20:38] A
but shouldn't it be able to fold
its arms? And look directly up?
[20:42] A
How does the pilot stay safe?
Would they be protected in this thing?
[20:47] A
I'm having trouble breathing.
What if people criticize it?
[20:52] A
Should we really have a robot like this?
[20:54] A
Not to mention, giant robots are like a
collection of lies in the first place!
[20:57] A
In that case...
[21:03] A
Let's ditch the giant robot anime!
[21:04] K
Dumbass!
[21:05] K
That's the one thing we can't do!
[21:07] K
Stop rocking the boat.
[21:09] A
But I can't come up with a robot
premise that can satisfy everybody!
[21:13] K
It's fine. Your art is already amazing.
[21:16] A
People who can't draw always say that!
[21:19] K
You're more cynical than I figured.
[21:21] A
Don't you worry.

I've got an alternative in mind.

It's perfect!

Completely unacceptable!
[21:41] K
We all agreed to this after trampling through
[21:42] K
those contradictions in that
pain-in-the-neck meeting!
[21:46] A
But the audience can be really harsh.
[21:48] A
If we cut corners, the robot
police will catch on fast.
[21:51] A
The pilot can't see behind them.
There's no space for an engine.
[21:54] A
And how do they escape if there's an emergency?
[21:56] M
Giant robots carry a lot
of responsibility, after all.
[21:58] M
And working on a robot anime means
having to commit all kinds of crimes.
[22:02] M
You're kind of doomed either way.
[22:05] M
An imperfect giant robot...
[22:07] M
Is my only option being doomed
to settle for what we've got?
[22:10] K
Since when are you slick enough to
satisfy everybody with your art, anyway?
[22:14] A
Well, what the heck am I supposed to do?!
[22:16] K
Just draw, and stop worrying
about anyone else.
[22:19] A
My dear Kanamori, if I were that bold,
we wouldn't be having this discussion.
[22:21] A
You can be quite foolish!
[22:23] K
You want me to slap you silly?
[22:24] K
Listen here. This project is only in
trouble if you think it's in trouble.
[22:28] K
It's got nothing to do with anyone else.
[22:31] K
Your only choice here is
to draw the kind of robot
[22:33] K
that you would be satisfied with!
[22:37] K
Everyone is working their hardest
to follow your directions.
[22:40] K
That's because we all believe you've
imagined something incredible.
[22:44] K
I won't be particular about
the final product as long
[22:46] K
as it's done in time for the culture festival.
[22:48] K
But if the finished product
is some boring piece of crap,
[22:52] K
then that's your responsibility!
[22:54] K
Because you're the director!

I guess Asakusa's motivation
switch is pretty random.

Are you still awake?
[00:11] M
I was just about to sleep.
[00:13] Mom
Okay. Well, I'm heading to work.
[00:16] M
Have a safe trip.
[00:17] Mom
Good night.
[00:24] (Flashback) Granny
I've got snacks, too.
[00:27] (Flashback) Granny
Let me put some fresh tea out.
[00:37] (Flashback) M
That was cool!
[00:38] (Flashback) Granny
What was?
[00:40] (Flashback) M
Just now.
[00:55] (Flashback) M
I'm sorry...
[00:56] (Flashback) Granny
It's okay.
[01:13] (Flashback) M
Grandma, can you do it again?
[01:16] (Flashback) Granny
You're a silly girl.
[01:24] (Flashback) M
Again!
[01:25] (Flashback) Granny
Oh my... what a waste of tea.
[01:30] (Flashback) Teacher
Now, when you're nervous,
your movements can get clunky,
[01:34] (Flashback) Teacher
so we're going to practice just
getting up and sitting down.
[01:38] (Flashback) Teacher
Note the difference between standing
right up and standing up slowly.
[01:43] (Flashback) Teacher
That was standing straight up.
[01:45] (Flashback) Teacher
Slowly, it's more like this.
[01:48] (Flashback) Teacher
You lean over first, and then stand.
[01:50] (Flashback) Teacher
Do you understand the difference?
Then let's try it.
[02:01] (Flashback) M
Ow!
[02:22] (Flashback) Teacher
Tsubame?
[02:27] (Flashback) Teacher
Okay, step, step, step.
[02:30] (Flashback) Teacher
You want to have your hands out
and your chest up,
[02:32] (Flashback) Teacher
walking along a straight line.
That's the pretty way to do it.
[02:36] (Flashback) Teacher
Motohashi, your head's swinging
a bit too much from side to side.
[02:39] (Flashback) Teacher
Try to walk in a straight line.
[02:41] (Flashback) Teacher
It might be easier to sway like that,
but does not look as nice.
[02:45] (Flashback) Teacher
Yamashiro, your head is moving, too.
[02:55] (Flashback) Teacher
Now, with a model's walk, your
legs cross in front of you,
[02:58] (Flashback) Teacher
so even if your hips swing,
your head has to stay steady.
[03:05] TV
So there you have it. The bottom line is...
[03:08] TV
Maeda did it!
[03:14] TV
Maeda did it!
[03:26] (Flashback) M
I did it!
[03:33] (Flashback) Granny
I'm not sure you're strong
enough to help, honey.
[03:36] (Flashback) M
Try leaning over more!
[03:37] (Flashback) M
So that your head is this far down.
[03:40] (Flashback) Granny
Wouldn't I fall over if I did that?
[03:44] (Flashback) M
Look at this!
[03:45] (Flashback) Granny
Oh, this is impressive.
[03:47] (Flashback) M
You lean down like that, and then when
your behind goes up, you straighten!
[03:52] (Flashback) M
Like, bam, bam!
[03:53] (Flashback) Granny
Bam...
[03:55] (Flashback) M
Bam.
[03:56] (Flashback) M
See! You were able to stand!
[03:58] (Flashback) Granny
Wow...
[03:59] (Flashback) M
Left, right, left, right...
[04:05] (Flashback) M
You can sway all you want, okay?
[04:07] (Flashback) Granny
You've got a knack for this, Tsubame.
[04:09] (Flashback) M
When you go to the left,
it pulls your right leg along,
[04:12] (Flashback) M
and then to the right, with your left leg.
[04:15] (Flashback) M
It's totally natural, and should be easier!
[04:35] (Flashback) M
Okay!

Thanks for the lift!
[06:15] D
I'm going to unload this stuff,
so it'll just be a minute.
[06:22] M
Huh, this one says, "Eating bread crusts."
[06:22] D
That ought to do it.
[06:25] A
This one is the sound for
eating a croissant...
[06:27] D
Hey, stop that!
[06:29] K
Get that stuff unpacked, and then get in here!
[06:32] K
We need to have a sound meeting.
[06:35] Trio
Right.
[06:40] D
I think I get what you're going for.
[06:43] D
I'll look into how the sounds for
monsters and robots are done.
[06:47] D
But in terms of specific sounds
that will match your footage,
[06:50] D
even for the more mundane scenes,
[06:52] D
it's hard to know what'll be needed
without seeing what you're dealing with.
[06:55] D
And it'll be really tough to set
you up without knowing the timing.
[06:59] K
I see.
[07:01] D
The dialog will also have to be
balanced against the rest of the sound,
[07:04] D
so if I knew the timing and volume
you wanted, it'd be easier to figure out.
[07:07] D
There are also the things
that affect acoustics,
[07:09] D
like the size of the location and its layout,
[07:11] D
so even if it's just a broad outline,
that'd be handy to know.
[07:14] K
Understood. We'll get the dialog
recorded as soon as we can.
[07:17] A
That means it's time for edits.
[07:19] A
Should we make a video out of the storyboard?
[07:22] A
That way we can set the
timing up for the sounds.
[07:24] M
The timing is hard to guess at
until it's actually animated...
[07:28] M
But it needs to be done to
get the sound ready in time,
[07:30] M
so I'll figure something out!
[07:31] M
How are we going to handle casting, anyway?
[07:33] K
It's actually been settled already.
[07:37] K
The client has demands.

[08:52] M
Wait, the song for the
opening still isn't ready?
[08:55] K
Not only is it not ready,
[08:57] K
there was so much trouble putting it
together that they said to forget about it.
[09:01] K
Which means less work for us, thankfully.
[09:03] A
If there's no opening, I kind
like the idea of just—boom!

And starting with the monster showing up.
[09:13] A
Mizusaki, how about the music?
[09:16] M
I forgot! Let me ask now!
[09:18] K
We'll use something from a free music library.
[09:20] K
Doumeki, can you look into it?
[09:22] D
Uh, sure. I can try.
[09:26] Nakamura
Excuse us.
[09:27] M
Oh, wow, nice.
[09:31] A
U-Um...
[09:33] A
About the sun, this would be the west,
which would make this a sunset...
[09:37] A
I was hoping it could be consistent.
[09:41] Nakamura
I mean, is it really a problem?
[09:43] A
W-Well, I think...
[09:45] A
Since it's an actual location, and
changes the connotation of the camera pan...
[09:50] A
Uh, the car here was supposed
to be drawn as a cel.
[09:53] Nakamura
It looked a little barren,
composition-wise, without it.
[09:56] A
But the cels will be animated,
[09:58] A
so if it's in the background too,
there'll be two of them.
[10:01] Nakamura
So is it not gonna work?
[10:02] A
If we erase the car...
[10:05] M
Huh, that doesn't look right.
[10:09] A
Did you cut the image board out for this?
[10:11] M
Oh, I see. You copied Asakusa's
board and then stuck it on there.
[10:15] Nakamura
Is that a problem?
[10:15] A
It's just kind of blurry...
[10:18] A
And the texture is...
[10:20] M
Wait, is this line right?
[10:23] M
A character's supposed to pop out from there.
[10:26] Nakamura
I made it so the light was
shining down, like you said.
[10:30] Nakamura
Pretty good, right?
[10:32] Nakamura
Or isn't it? That's what you asked for, right?
[10:35] A
It's just... it's turning
into a different film...
[10:39] M
Oh, this isn't gonna work!
[10:41] Nakamura
But Asakusa, you said the
details were up to me, right?
[10:46] A
Yes, but while following the image board,
[10:49] A
and keeping the layout lines in mind.
[10:54] Nakamura
This sounds different from what
you were asking about before.
[10:56] Nakamura
So there's no room for expression?
[10:58] Kubo
Hey...
[10:59] Kubo
Um, let me know if there's
anything else that needs fixing.
[11:02] Kubo
I can adjust it digitally.
[11:05] Nakamura
You're gonna change it?!
[11:06] Kubo
Just making a few changes
to the general look!
[11:09] A
S-Sure. That'd be a big help.
[11:13] K
I like that Kubo girl.
She's willing to make corrections.
[11:17] K
That should help take care of some of it.
[11:21] K
That said...
[11:25] K
You didn't need to take over all of these!
[11:28] A
Doing it myself is faster than
explaining how to fix it.
[11:31] K
A director needs to be able to give
directions to other artists.
[11:35] K
You're supposed to be helping with animation,
[11:37] K
and handling the photography,
[11:38] K
on top of the edit!
[11:40] M
I get how she feels, though.
It's just faster to redraw it yourself.
[11:46] K
You do realize that
[11:47] K
our delays are due to being behind
schedule with animation, yes?
[11:51] K
The PC room where the animation needs
to be done won't be free forever.
[11:54] K
If you don't get in there soon,
you won't finish all the art we need.
[11:58] K
For the record, if we fall any further behind,
[12:01] K
the dozens of cuts you have
cooking in that tablet
[12:03] K

All right, we'll continue next time.

[12:20] A
Let's sit somewhere we can see the lightning.
[12:22] M
I'm gonna work on this a bit more...
[12:26] A
I guess I should work on the backgrounds.

By the way, Mizusaki,
[15:10] A
will your parents be mad about
your clothes getting soaked?
[15:13] M
Nah. My parents give me a lot of freedom.
[15:16] M
The only times I can
remember them being mad...
[15:18] M
is when I tried to push the house with
a car in preschool and broke a wall.
[15:22] M
And when I tried hatch an egg,
but it rotted instead.
[15:25] A
The egg thing! I did that, too.
[15:27] K
They said we couldn't have an ostrich as a pet.
[15:30] A

I tried to raise pigs for meat once.

[15:36] A
You know, other than forbidding anime,
[15:39] A
your parents seem pretty lenient, Mizusaki.
[15:42] M
Yeah. They generally let me do what I want.
[15:46] M
I think this stuff about me being an actress
[15:48] M
is my dad's idea of trying to
make my mom's dream come true.

And your mother doesn't care?

[19:04] A
What's wrong, Mizusaki?
[19:05] M
Well, it's about the chainsaw's movement...
[19:09] M
I didn't want it to just breeze
by like "bzzzt" and "shwooom"
[19:13] M
but more like... grind, grind, crunch, crunch,
with rocks flying around and stuff,
[19:17] M
but I can't get it right.
[19:20] A
What about making the screen pan around?
[19:22] M
I thought about that!
[19:23] M
But then it makes the movement of the
treads more smooth, and less impactful.
[19:30] A
Come on over, Kanamori.
[19:32] K
How am I supposed to be able to help?
[19:35] A
There you go again. Isn't a producer
supposed to develop a discerning eye?
[19:40] K
Fair enough.
SIGN I just won an argument
SIGN with Kanamori
[19:45] K
To be honest, I can't imagine
what else you might want to add.
[19:51] K
The big movements are satisfying to look at,
[19:53] K
so I don't see a problem with
just going with what you have.
[19:57] M
I dunno.
[19:59] A
Let's try adding sound to it.
[20:01] K
As it is?
[20:03] A
It changes the whole feel it gives off.
[20:06] M
She's right.
[20:07] M
Animation otaku go as far as to mute
the sound when they look at something.
[20:30] K
It definitely helps convey
the impression of movement.
[20:33] A
A technique unto itself.
[20:35] A
Having proper sound takes some
of the burden off an animator.
[20:38] M
I... I hate to admit it, though!
[20:41] K
You do realize film basically
consists of images and sound, right?
[20:44] K
Have you considered that your vision for animation
[20:46] K
is too technical for people
to understand, Mizusaki?
[20:49] M
But the people who can understand do,
y'know? Everyone does it.
[20:54] M
Think about how pretty it is when
a goldfish's tail is fluttering.
[20:59] M
Or swirls of cherry blossom petals...
[21:02] M
Dancing, too! That's all
a performance of motion!
[21:05] K
And anime is another way to appreciate movement?
[21:07] M
I'd say it's the best way to appreciate it!
[21:10] A
Certainly, considering that
every single motion is something
[21:13] A
intentionally depicted by an artist.
[21:15] M
It can be a pretty subtle movement,
without a lot of exaggeration,
[21:18] M
but the fact that someone
had to draw it out
[21:21] M
in order to make it move
gives it a bigger impact.
[21:23] M
That's the big difference
from live action.
[21:26] M
Think about a rocket. The rocket
itself isn't the cool part.
[21:29] A
Yes, it is!
[21:31] M
Well, yeah, but what I'm saying is...
[21:32] M
The trail and clouds of smoke it gives off
are all part of why it's cool!
[21:35] A
Exactly!
[21:36] M
Which is why this won't cut it!
[21:39] M
You want a long shot, like this!
[21:40] M
Then a close-up!
[21:43] M
And then the... uh...
[21:45] A
The nozzle's skirt.
SIGN Mizu
SIGN Asa
[21:46] M
You see that vibrate!
SIGN Kana
[21:48] M
You see all of this white
smoke coming from the rocket,
[21:50] M
spreading and billowing outwards,
[21:52] M
and depending on the location,
it shakes like it's a solid shape!
[21:55] A
A big portion of the white smoke
near the launchpad is actually steam
[21:59] A
that was vaporized by the rocket as part
of the water sound suppression system.
[22:03] A
The water sound suppression
system being—
[22:05] K
Stop.
[22:07] M
The shake of the security camera!
[22:12] M
And as it starts to tilt,
[22:13] M
the angle of the rocket and its
exhaust stop being vertical!
[22:16] A
The tilt is a big deal.
[22:18] M
It continues to expel smoke!
[22:23] M
"This is the coolest part of a rocket!"
[22:25] M
You've got to make the art
give that kind of feeling!
[22:28] M
Then it's like, "Yeah, you really get it!"
[22:30] M
"I don't know who you are, or where you are,"
[22:32] M
"but I appreciate your attention to detail!"
[22:35] M
That's why I want to make animation.
[22:38] K
As unpleasant as I find artistic passion,
I think I grasp the concept.
[22:43] M
Would you prefer if I said, "I want to
make lots of people smile with my anime!"?
[22:46] K
That would actually be more gross, yes.
[22:49] M
I think I'm starting to get you, Kanamori!
[22:52] A
You have to draw the greatest world
you imagine yourself, after all.
[22:56] K
So, Mizusaki, you don't want to make anime,
[22:59] K
but are more concerned with animation, huh?
[23:02] M
That's what I've been saying this whole time!
[23:05] M
There might be someone out there dying
to see the vibrations of a chainsaw.
[23:10] M
I want to see the teeth of
the chainsaw jump around,
[23:12] M
and those kinds of details
are how I'll survive.
[23:15] M
Even if most people don't appreciate it,
[23:17] M
I have to do it for myself!
[23:20] M
I have to proclaim "Here I am!"
[23:22] M
to the people who can appreciate
each individual movement!

[00:03] A
Once again, we're wrapping up
at the very last second.
[00:07] M
I'm glad we made it in time, though!
[00:09] K
Excuse me?
[00:11] K
Not being able to record the voice-overs
means we didn't make it in time.
[00:14] M
True...
[00:15] M
We'll have to do the dubbing live.
[00:18] K
All thanks to a certain someone
and their late animation.
[00:22] D
I can go ahead and record the performance,
[00:24] D
but there's a lot of echo
in the auditorium...
[00:27] D
I don't know if it'll be good
enough to use on the DVDs.
[00:30] A
I'm still worried about how Onocchy's
reads are gonna turn out.
[00:33] D
I'll go ahead and run it.
[00:59] D
What do you think, Asakusa?
[01:02] A
You haven't balanced it yet, right?
[01:04] D
Right. As it stands, only the timing is done.
[01:06] D
Although I was making adjustments
while it was playing...
[01:09] A
About the music in cut 6...
Does it seem out of sync to you?
[01:13] D
Probably because the action
on screen doesn't happen
[01:15] D
until after the music peaks.
[01:17] D
We could try delaying it.
[01:19] M
You mean offsetting it even
more from the action?
[01:21] M
Wouldn't that mess with the big hit?
[01:23] D
Let's see.
[01:29] M
I'm not sure why, but I think that's better!
[01:32] A
The music is setting the tone before
the action, and leading the audience along!
[01:36] A
There were a few spots where the music
and the action didn't have the right tone,
[01:40] A
where I was thinking we
could use different tracks.
[01:43] A
For cut 150 and 82...
[01:47] A
If we use the music from cut 24,
[01:49] A
we can create a motif linking
the different scenes.
[01:51] A
What do you think?
[01:52] D
Sounds like it might work. Let me try it.
[01:55] M
Something about the music for
cut 86 doesn't sit right with me.
[02:01] A
What if we dropped
the music for that part?
[02:05] D
You mean to put an emphasis
on the sound effects from 79?
[02:11] A
The animation is amazing for that part.
So by subtracting the music...
[02:27] M
So cool!
[02:28] A
That makes the scene really stand out!
[02:30] M
You're some kind of music master, Asakusa!

audience for today's screening.
[03:57] M
I definitely want lots of people to watch it!
[03:59] K
That's part of it,

today is to score preorders
[04:02] K
for the DVD release after
the screening today.
[04:05] A
Again with the money...
[04:06] M
And that's why we need an audience.
[04:08] K
First, since it's summer, we'll need to
make sure our auditorium is nice and cool.
[04:12] A
Good idea.
[04:13] A
But I hear the HVAC club are
lackeys of the student council.
[04:17] K
It'll be fine. I've got
what I need to negotiate.
[04:20] K
But more important than even that...
[04:24] K
is the involvement of the popular

[04:27] K
and how much we can
put her out in front of this.
[04:30] M

[04:42] K
not the other way around. Right?
[04:46] M
I-I guess, but...
[04:48] K
We're going to win over the people who
came to see you with the anime's quality.
[04:52] K
Which we can't do if they won't show up.
[04:55] K
And if the short is good enough,
they're bound to preorder the DVD.
[04:59] A
That's a lot of extra responsibility..
[05:00] K
We've got a big spotlight that'll
allow us to draw plenty of attention.
[05:05] K
We need to use that to our
advantage as much as possible.
[05:08] K
Whether we like it or not,
[05:10] K
if it benefits our production situation
in the long run, we need to do it.
[05:14] M
I'm kinda worried
[05:15] M
my parents might find out if
I draw too much attention, though.
[05:17] A

[07:53] A
I think I get it.
[07:54] A
Sometimes you need to smother the taste
of the fruit for it to be good.
[07:58] Kashima
Welcome!
[07:59] M
It's probably a little late to point this out,
but this place is built on an angle, huh?
[08:04] K
Right. Supposedly part of the reason
the noodles are served without broth
[08:07] K
is to keep it from spilling out.
[08:09] Kashima
One pineapple dandan noodles,
and one dragon fruit dandan noodles!
[08:15] Kashima
Just between you and me, I've got
an incredible idea up my sleeve.
[08:19] Kashima
For an anime!
[08:20] Kashima
I just have no idea how I'd ever get it made.
[08:23] Kashima
You wanna hear?
[08:24] A
Uh, sure, sure!
[08:25] Kashima
The protagonist is an
ordinary guy who works at a
[08:28] Kashima
dandan noodle place like this!
[08:30] Kashima
But he has a secret identity...
[08:32] Kashima
He's actually an agent with the secret
police force that protects world peace!
[08:37] Kashima
He uses his red pepper bombs
to fight off an alien invasion!
[08:40] Kashima
Coming!
[08:41] K
Sounds good to me. Let's use
that for our new project.
[08:45] Other diners
The Yoshidas' place is gonna
be closing this summer, too.
[08:48] Other diners
It's getting more and more lonely around here.
[08:53] M
Looks like our film club has a fan!
[08:56] A
There are a lot of deserted storefronts.
[08:58] K
Not a lot of customers outside of ski season.
SIGN Don't play in the river by yourself!
[09:01] M
So what are we doing for our next project?
[09:03] M
Are we gonna base it on one
of Asakusa's concepts again?
[09:06] A
Last time, we knew from the outset
[09:08] A
it was going to be a robot
versus a giant monster...
[09:10] K
The first short had a setting from your
back catalog of ideas, right, Asakusa?
[09:16] A
That was just because we needed
something fast, so we chose something simple.
[09:20] A
And the second time around,
we used the school.
[09:22] M
What've you been doing there, Kanamori?
[09:24] K
Making posts.
[09:25] A
Having fun playing around on
social media. Must be nice!
[09:28] K
There is nothing fun about social media!
[09:31] M
Wait, you're already doing publicity?
[09:32] K
Right. It's better to attract eyes beforehand
[09:34] K
than trying to get attention
around the time of release.
[09:37] K
Say butter.
[09:39] M
Wait, what?
[09:40] K
Is it all right if I post this?
[09:43] M
Well, sure, if it gets us attention.
[09:44] K
I've been conscientious about
likeness rights so far,
[09:48] K
but I'd like to set it up so that
[09:50] K
only our followers can view the
posts with your face in them.
[09:53] M
That's fine. My parents
handle my management anyway.
[09:55] M
I really wish people would pay
attention to our projects and not me, though.
[09:59] K
I wouldn't worry about that.
[10:01] K
The whole intent is to get people
to pay attention to the eizouken's output.
[10:04] K
We get them to develop an emotional attachment,
SIGN (Film) Merchandise in the Works
[10:05] K
and stimulate their urge to spend money.
[10:08] M
We're selling merch?
[10:09] K
There's demand for merchandise.
SIGN What kind of Eizouken merchandise
would you want?
T-shirts
Towels
Pins
Art books
[10:11] K
That can be pricey to put together,
[10:13] K
but if we measure demand correctly,
we can avoid risk.
[10:15] K
We can bust our humps working on a new DVD,
and it might not sell at 1,000 yen...
[10:18] K
But all we need is to
stamp the club's logo on a
[10:20] K
t-shirt and we can sell that for 2,000 yen.
[10:22] K
Even if Tsubame Mizusaki is
what got them in the doors,
SIGN @ACertainProgramDsAccount
and 76 others liked your post.
[10:24] K
the number of people who are genuinely
interested in our work is increasing.
[10:28] K
Part of our goal here is to ensure
SIGN Film
[10:29] K
everyone who watched our last
project picks this one up, as well.
[10:32] K
The clips we post might go viral,
[10:35] K
giving people an idea of the
material we're working on...
[10:37] K
Having a large digital footprint can
help us in a variety of ways.
[10:40] A
You're a social media master.
[10:45] A
Wow! That's the Mizusaki bump!
[10:47] M
I never realized how important
advertising could be.
[10:49] K
Long ago, I bore witness to
the death of a liquor store!
SIGN Fukuya Liquor Store
SIGN Fukuya
Brewery
[11:04] A
Is this the liquor store you mentioned?
[11:05] A
Seems busy enough.
[11:06] K
My relatives ran it.
[11:08] K
It was a drinking spot with a good reputation,
[11:11] K
particularly among fans of Japanese sake.
[11:13] K
But the owner had a high standard for quality,
[11:16] K
which did him no favors with the locals
[11:18] K
who just wanted to get hammered at a low price.
[11:21] M
That's a shame.
[11:23] K
The construction of the monorail
[11:24] K
meant that the street trolleys
were done away with,
[11:27] K
and since people drove more,
they couldn't drink as much,
SIGN Fukuya Liquor Store
[11:29] K
leading to even fewer customers...
[11:30] K
Which meant less of an emphasis on brewing,
SIGN Fukuya Liquor Store
[11:33] K
and by the time my uncle was running it,
they called it a general store.
[11:37] A
It's a bit more run down, now.
[11:41] A
An exemplary general store!
[11:43] M
It's so cute!
[11:44] A
Look!
[11:47] A
Minimori!
[11:56] A
What a hard worker.
[11:57] K
I heard pensions weren't
enough to get by anymore,
[12:00] K
so I was trying to earn money
apart from just my allowance.
[12:04] Auntie
This place looks a lot cleaner! Thank you.
[12:08] Auntie
Here's a little tip.
[12:10] K
Thank you very much.
[12:11] Auntie
You should really wait until
you're home to open it...
[12:13] K
There's extra.
[12:15] Auntie
I wanted to add something special
since you come by every day.
[12:19] K
I'm gonna clean some more.

SIGN Closed
[12:31] K
Hello.
[12:33] Auntie
Oh my goodness! You're covered in snow!
[12:35] Auntie
Did you walk here? That couldn't have been easy!
[12:38] K
You're not going to open the store?
[12:39] Auntie
No one's gonna be out in this snowstorm.
[12:43] Auntie
Even the convenience stores are closed.
[12:46] K
But people need to buy stuff all the time.
[12:49] K
If we open up right now, we'll be
the only place making money.
[12:52] K
I saw footsteps in front
of the store, too.
[12:55] Auntie
Okay, we'll need that snow shoveled, then!
[12:57] K
Okay.
[12:59] Uncle
You ever notice the kinds of things she does?
[13:02] Uncle
She started shoveling in front of
the vending machine, for instance...
[13:05] Uncle
That means we can start making money
as soon as that bit of snow is cleared.
[13:08] Uncle
Hot drinks sell at times like this.
[13:11] Auntie
She really is thoughtful.
[13:12] Uncle
She's always got her little eyes open.
[13:14] Uncle
Did you know she has trouble with math?
[13:16] Auntie
When she's got such a mind for business?
[13:19] Uncle
Funny, isn't it?
[13:20] Uncle
Thing is, you can be a math wiz, but if
you don't have a head for business—
[13:23] Uncle
the way I don't—it won't matter.
[13:28] K
It's all clear.
[13:29] Uncle
Attagirl!
[13:30] Uncle
No tip this time.
[13:33] Uncle
Instead, you can have these. Sell what
you've got, and make some money.
[13:39] Customer
Man, it's cold.
[13:40] Uncle
Welcome.
[13:41] Customer
Do you have any gloves?
[13:42] Customer
I was thinking about shoveling,
but all I had were thin rubber ones...
[13:47] Customer
Oh, not like those.
[13:49] Customer
I was looking for something nice and thick
that the snow couldn't soak through.
[13:52] K
If you put your rubber gloves on top of these...
[13:54] Customer
Hey, yeah!
[13:56] K
Thank you very much.
[13:58] Uncle
Already making a sale!
[14:00] Uncle
And you sold a single pair of
working gloves for 100 yen,
[14:02] Uncle
when they're usually a dozen for 300!
[14:04] K
Individual sales stack up.
[14:11] Truckers
Hey, you're open!
[14:13] Granpda
Welcome.
[14:13] Truckers
Hey mister, is the vacant
lot across from you open?
[14:16] Truckers
We were hoping to park there for a bit.
[14:18] Uncle
Not a problem.
[14:19] Trucker
Is it all right if we eat in here?
[14:21] Uncle
Make yourself at home.
[14:22] K
We have instant noodles.

[14:35] Trucker
We set out to help folks stuck in
the snow, but everywhere was closed!
SIGN
[14:41] Trucker
Even the convenience store, and we
were starving! I thought we might be done for!
[14:46] Trucker
I never knew a place like this
was just across the way...
[14:48] Trucker
I'm coming here every week from now on.
[14:50] Uncle
I appreciate the thought, but we're
actually closing this month.
[14:55] Trucker
What, really?
[14:56] Uncle
We've been in the red for a while...
[14:58] Trucker
Well, it's not the best location.
[15:00] Trucker
You're kinda out of the way and hard to notice,
[15:03] Trucker
plus there's a convenience
store right over there.
[15:05] Uncle
It was better when the trains
were still running, but...
[15:08] Trucker
They never finished that damn monorail, either.
[15:10] Trucker
How about you only open up on snowy days?
[15:13] Uncle
I don't think we could manage that.
[15:15] Trucker
Man, if I had known sooner,
I would've told all my pals!
[15:18] Trucker
You let our nasty old cars park outside,
and you let people stay and eat...
[15:21] Trucker
This is a great place.
[15:22] Trucker
But I guess since everyone going into
the mountains uses the other road...
[15:28] Uncle
Thanks, come again.
[15:30] Uncle
...well, I guess not.
[15:33] K
You're closing even though
you could get customers?
[15:36] Uncle
You need money to even keep a store open.
[15:40] Uncle
Heating, repairs, taxes, insurance...
[15:45] Uncle
The money to buy stock and have it brought in,
[15:48] Uncle
which goes to waste if anything doesn't sell...
[15:50] Uncle
And since we're out of the way,
customers just don't come by.
[15:54] Uncle
We've been spending all kinds of money,
and only surviving off of what was left.
[15:58] Uncle
You can't keep a business open with
only the odd customer here and there.
[16:03] Uncle
No one's gonna come to a store...
[16:05] K
...that nobody knows about.
[16:08] K
There's no point in focusing entirely
on the quality of your product.
[16:11] K
You need the right methods
and products at the right time,
[16:13] K
and you need advertising!
[16:15] K
If you think a good product is all
it takes to attract customers,
[16:17] K
you're dreaming!
[16:18] K
You can't do business without promotion,
[16:21] K
but without a product,
you can't even get started!
[16:23] K
High standards aren't enough!
[16:24] K
You also need to think about how
to loosen people's purse strings!
[16:27] K
And I'll make sure people
hear about what we make.
[16:29] A
About that...
[16:32] A
Last time, we used the Shibahama High campus,
[16:34] A
but this time, I'm thinking of basing
the story in the town itself!
[16:40] A
The bizarre terrain and constructions!
[16:42] A
A town that's like a watery labyrinth!
[16:44] A
Shibahama is a town where you can
see the remains of trial and error

What about the budget for the new project?!
[18:20] K
I just finalized a deal where the

Wait, Kanamori, did you take us to

[18:51] K
All I did was help the two of you brainstorm.
[18:57] K
How is the story progressing?
[19:00] A
I'm getting there.
[19:03] K
Where's Mizusaki?
[19:04] A
Over there.
[19:08] A
She said she was working on a
new model of Adamski saucer.
[19:21] K
Let me see the storyboard.
[19:23] A
Here's what I've got.
[19:26] K
This is all the direction
you've given so far?
[19:29] K
You're overdoing it again, damn it!
[19:31] K
Quit making extra animation work!
[19:34] M
It's already done! It'll be fine!
[19:36] K
Get down here, now!
[19:37] M
Might need a few adjustments,
or there could be—
[19:38] K
Your little R&D project is canceled!
[19:40] K
It's just gonna get shot down
by this thing, anyway!
[19:57] K
Where's the beam? What about the laser?
[19:59] A
Energy weapons weren't originally supposed to be
[20:01] A
in the visible spectrum, anyway.
[20:02] A
There's no type of light that just
zips through the atmosphere like that!
[20:05] A
And besides, there are different
types of directed energy weapons.
[20:09] A
It's not all about lasers, y'know!
[20:11] A
And even with lasers, they fire
light at speeds the eye can't track,
[20:14] A
for only a fraction of a second,
[20:16] A
so it's not gonna look like
the spotlight at a concert!
[20:18] A
Even if it was plasma, there'd be—
[20:19] K
You might know what you're saying,
[20:22] K
but normal people are
going to be watching this.
[20:24] A
D-Does it not work?
[20:26] A
Wh-What the—?!
[20:28] K
What's this sound?
[20:31] D
I don't really get all the specifics,
[20:33] D
but I was imagining this for after the gun fires.
[20:37] A
You can hear fans and chains come in contact.
[20:39] A
And the rumble is the excitation
of an electric generator.
[20:41] A
This really fits the way
the concept is conceived.
[20:44] K
Save the protracted analysis for
the next time we're getting ramen.
[20:47] K
Isn't it rattling a bit too much?
[20:49] A
Maybe a bit...
[20:50] D
What are you talking about?!
[20:52] D
This is how it's supposed to sound!
[20:54] A
That's not it, the sound is fine...
[20:56] A
But I was thinking something more like...
[21:15] A
Like that!
[21:16] K
And what does that mean?
[21:18] A
For the, "Pow!" part, it doesn't
need any additional sound!
[21:23] A
And then no sound after that!
[21:24] K
Oh, so that's how you want it performed.
[21:27] A
Performed?
[21:29] K
What do you think of her take, Doumeki?
[21:32] D
I'm not opposed to it.
[21:34] A
That's it... It's a performance.
[21:38] A
The reason the plane's interior
was pitch black...
[21:42] A
It was to demonstrate how
vast and bright the sky was.
[21:46] A
Everything I've been doing
so far has been a performance.
[21:48] A
It's been that all along...
[21:50] A
To depict a vast, unknown world that you
[21:52] A
could never grasp from the
glimpse of a single image...
[21:55] A
I've been choosing what
to draw, and how, all along!
[21:57] A
But I never realized that what
I was doing was a performance!
[22:02] A
Oh, what bitter fruit my ignorance has borne!
[22:04] A
Construction and consistency!
[22:07] A
The glory that these factors give rise to!
[22:09] A
Performance will be how I demonstrate
the greatness of the world I've imagined!
[22:13] A
And with that being the case,
I must consider the issue further!
[22:18] A
I ain't drawing no lasers!
[22:21] A
Down, girl. Let me explain.
[22:24] A
Drawing a cannon that doesn't
emit a beam is important to me.
[22:29] A
Using this cut, you can make it obvious
that the gun is what shot down
[22:32] A
the UFO from their relative positions.
[22:35] A
But that's not enough to resolve the issue.
[22:38] A
You think there'll be dissonance
if there's no beam or bullets involved?
[22:40] A
Wrong!
[22:42] A
Listen up, people...
[22:43] A
"This is a directed energy weapon
that doesn't project a ray!"
[22:46] A
We have to make sure the
scene conveys that clearly!
[22:50] A
In other words, we add a cut that
makes it obvious something was fired,
[22:53] A
even if there was no beam!
[22:54] A
We beef that sucker up with visual cues
for a massive energy expenditure,
[22:57] A
whether it was visible or not!
[23:00] A
And we need sound, Doumeki!
[23:04] K
I get how you want the scene performed,
but what are the UFOs here for?
[23:08] M
Hey, yeah. Who's in them?
[23:11] A
That... I am not sure about, yet.
[23:13] M
Actually, why was the town
so heavily armed, anyway?
[23:17] A
I'm gonna think that up later, too!
[23:20] A
For now, our goal is to prepare for Comet A...
[23:24] A
By creating the greatest world!

[00:07] A
Very nice. I can see the
picture forming in my mind.
[00:13] M
I know, right?
[00:14] A
Can we have them do our music?
[00:16] M
I'll ask!
[00:18] K
Who exactly is this?
[00:20] M
I only know them from online, but...
SIGN Hot! Hot!!!
[00:25] A
That's stylish.
SIGN Brought the new track and things got hot!!!
Haven't played here in a while. Still the best.
Crowd was super into it. Thank you!!
SIGN Nice change of pace.

[00:26] M
They've been releasing tracks through
music sites for a while now,
[00:29] M
and have worked on indie
anime and movies before.
[00:33] K
Mizusaki, is that tan going to be a problem?
[00:37] M
It could've been,
[00:38] M
but I haven't been doing any
modeling jobs lately, so no sweat!
[00:41] K
Any offers?
[00:43] M
Not sure. Haven't been really
keeping up with them.
[00:46] A
Three of a kind!
[00:48] K
Mizusaki, could you accept the
occasional modeling job from now on?
[00:53] K
And watch the tan lines.
[00:55] A
What's this all about, Kanamori?
[00:57] K
What do you think the eizouken's
number one selling point is?
[01:01] A
Refined and carefully-crafted animation!
[01:04] K
It's Mizusaki's fame.
[01:07] K
Of course, she will be animating
until her hands fall off, too.
[01:11] M
They'll fall off?
[01:12] K
But the stardom of the model Tsubame Mizusaki
[01:16] K
dimming would be like having
one of our wings clipped.
[01:20] K
Incidentally, here's a promotional
plan that Mr. Kashima
[01:23] K
from the dandan noodle shop just sent over.

[01:30] K
Once the idea was proposed
to the chamber of commerce,
[01:32] K
they enthusiastically agreed, thinking it'd
be good advertising for the town.
[01:37] M
I don't wanna—
[01:38] K
You could have the starring role.
[01:40] K
Except I know you'd rather not.
[01:42] K
Which is why I'm asking for your
help with this instead.
[01:45] M
Well, I'll take it over being in the cast.
[01:47] K
I'll let them know, then.
[01:49] A
And if we're going to secure
music and have auditions,
[01:52] A
it'd help to know what the
story was going to be.
[01:56] A
A party!
[01:57] A
After hearing that music, I was
inspired to make our finale into a dance scene!
[02:01] M
It's a party! That seems fun! I love it!
[02:05] M
If we're going to be animating to music,
[02:07] M
we'll need to get an early demo
of the music for the dance scene!
[02:09] K
Why exactly are they partying?
[02:12] A
Maybe it's a...
[02:13] A
Celebration for a hard-won victory!
[02:15] K
"Inspired." "Maybe."
[02:18] K
It feels like you're just
submitting scenes you thought up
[02:21] K
with no thought to the overall picture.
[02:27] K
I don't care what the actual story is,
but it's about time you—
[02:31] Sakaki
It's lively in here, as usual.
[02:34] Sakaki
Having a little party, Kanamoney?
[02:38] A
Kanamoney!
[02:40] Dotonbori
Quiet, you!
[02:43] K
Did you think of another excuse to fine us?
[02:45] Sakaki
It's not about that.
[02:47] Sakaki
You've always got your mind on cash, huh?
[02:48] K
It's not money that I like,
it's productive activities.
[02:52] Sakaki
And the money?
[02:53] K
The money helps quantify that productivity.
[02:56] Sakaki
Well, there's a little problem with that...
[03:02] Sakaki
Turns out, the school isn't thrilled
about you making money on the outside.

Are we in trouble?
[04:43] K
There's so damn much I can poke holes
in here, I can't bring myself to start.
[04:50] M
That's bad. Because the
two of us can't exactly...
[05:01] Teacher A
Extracurricular activities are
considered a full-fledged part of education.
[05:05] Teacher A
The government curriculum details
as much, along with the rules involved.
[05:09] K
We're fully willing to consider
any directions you have,
[05:11] K
if they actually serve a purpose.
[05:12] Teacher A
Well, it's not very educational to use
club activities to earn money, is it?
[05:17] K
Isn't the culture festival a means of
[05:19] K
securing profits from
outside of the school, too?
[05:21] Teacher A
That's... a special exception.
[05:23] Teacher A
Look, here... "Athletic,
cultural, or technical pursuits
[05:28] Teacher A
in order to exercise intellectual curiosity,
[05:30] Teacher A
cultivate a sense of responsibility,
and develop teamwork."
[05:32] Teacher A
That's what it says!
[05:33] Teacher A
We all saw your film. It was incredible!
[05:38] Teacher A
Especially for high school students.
[05:40] Teacher A
So we think what you're doing is wonderful.
[05:42] Teacher A
But you can't try and profit off of it.
[05:45] Teacher A
That makes it something else
than education. Don't you see?
[05:48] K
You've been avoiding explaining why,
exactly, turning a profit isn't educational.
[05:55] Teacher A
I have not!
[05:57] Teacher A
It's just that, working diligently
with your friends on something
[06:00] Teacher A
can provide things money can't buy!
[06:05] K
I'm starting to wonder if the
government curriculum guidelines
[06:07] K
say something about only
fools becoming teachers.
[06:11] Dotonbori
How could you say that?! They're all
great people! I mean, they're teachers!
[06:15] Sakaki
I think you might have what it
takes to be a teacher, president.
[06:19] Dotonbori
Y-You think?
[06:23] Sakaki
Let's get to the real issue.
[06:25] Sakaki
The bottom line is, a lot of people outside
the school, including parents,
[06:29] Sakaki
aren't comfortable with students
getting involved with money.
[06:33] Sakaki
And schools don't cope well with pressure.
[06:35] Sakaki
Which means they don't feel like
the risk your little operation
[06:38] Sakaki
might incur is worth the trouble.
[06:41] Teacher A
There are a lot of political
considerations for a school.
[06:44] Teacher A
To say nothing about the legal—
[06:45] K
What's the point of an educational institution
[06:47] K
if it won't stand up for its students?
[06:49] K
People who don't understand business
[06:51] K
will fall behind those who do,
and be worse off for it.
[06:55] K
Spewing out superficial pleasantries
about "dreams" and "hard work,"
[06:58] K
while turning away from anything
that might cause a headache.
[07:01] K
Is that your idea of teaching?
[07:03] Teacher B
We just can't have you doing whatever you want.
[07:05] Teacher B
The school has to consider its
relationship with the town, too.
[07:08] Teacher B
What would you be using this money for, anyway?
[07:11] Teacher B
For all your talk about how this is
some high-minded business exercise,
[07:15] Teacher B
aren't you just using the school's
name to benefit yourself?
[07:20] K
Indeed, I am.
[07:22] K
I'll use anything that helps.
Call it a "means to survive."
[07:26] Teacher B
You're all still students.
[07:28] Teacher B
Aren't there things your club
could only be doing while you're still here?
[07:31] Teacher B
We all want you to cherish
the time you have.
[07:34] Teacher B
There's no need to rush into adulthood.
[07:36] Teacher B
Because once you've grown up, you'll have to—
[07:37] K
Too optimistic.
[07:39] K
"The effort itself was the reward."
[07:41] K
It's an extracurricular cliche,
[07:42] K
and people who indulge in it learn
the hard truth when they're adults.
[07:46] K
Besides, we didn't ask the chamber
of commerce to fund the production,
[07:50] K
we proposed a joint operation with them.
[07:53] K
And they decided to accept.
[07:56] Teacher B
I think we're done here.
[07:58] Teacher B
The point is, you're free
to participate in the event,
[08:00] Teacher B
but you can't accept any money earned at it.
[08:01] Teacher B
Understood?

Probably!

[14:58] M
It's so big! And you can
see the back of the clock!
[15:01] K
I'd wager the owners or some
politician thought they'd

It was once a luxurious home to wealthy tenants!

Thus...
[15:25] A
An alliance of thieves has targeted it!
[15:34] A
They face...
[15:36] A
The bodyguard hired by the building's owners.
[15:39] M
So a security guard, basically.
[15:42] A
The last scene is a duel atop the
grass field that grows on the roof...
[15:45] K
Stop. Hold it right there.
[15:47] M
This is one huge clock!
[15:50] A
How about that concept? It'd make
for a great 15-minute short!
[15:53] K
Stop talking about other projects.

[16:22] K
Gonna stop you right there again.
[16:23] K
Get back on topic with our current project.
[16:25] A
I feel a guiding hand here...
[16:27] A
This time, we're working something
we were destined to make!
[16:36] A
Essentially...
[16:37] A
In our club room, on the
other side of the coast,
[16:41] A
the subject for an exposure
test was being stored.
[16:44] A
Something was fired from this side...
[16:46] A
Which lit something in the eizouken club room
[16:49] A
that kicked those fans we have
into gear, to awaken something!
[16:54] M
Asakusa's gone crazy!
SIGN K
[16:56] A
I just figured out the
connection to my storyboards!
[16:59] A
A mecha to fight those UFOs was
developed right where we stand!
[17:03] A
Basically, this was the base
for the Shibahama military!
[17:06] M
That sounds good to me.
[17:08] A
See, Kanamori? This bit of sound
hunting paid fine dividends!
[17:12] D

[17:26] D

[17:28] M
Really?
[17:36] D
Almost time. Nobody move a muscle.
[18:13] D
Good work, everyone. That went smoothly.
[18:17] A
That was nerve-wracking!
[18:18] D
I finally got it!
[18:21] A
I'm surprised you didn't have it already.
SIGN K
[18:23] D
There's an old one in the club's collection,
[18:25] D
but the sound has degraded with time.
[18:28] D
But even though everything else is
in ruins, this bell still rings out.
[18:33] K
It's probably just been forgotten about.
[18:36] A
It continues to ring for some reason?
[18:42] A
That's magnificent!
[18:44] A
All right,
[18:45] A
the bell that continues to chime for
some reason has given me a new idea!
[18:49] K
That's enough out of you!
[19:06] M
I wanna go next!
[19:07] Sakaki
Hey, eizouken.
[19:10] A
The class president!
[19:11] Sakaki
Uh, no. I'm actually the secretary.
[19:16] Sakaki
So, did you figure out what to
do about that stuff from before?
[19:19] K
The copyrights of works belong
to their individual creators.
[19:22] K
We'll enter Comet A as the film club,
[19:26] K
and then any sales and collection of
cash will be done on an individual basis.
[19:30] Sakaki
Couldn't you just enter a contest?
[19:32] K
A contest would be good for our reputation,
[19:35] K
but it'd take too long to pay dividends.
[19:37] K
An event like this gets us instant
recognition, an influx of income,
[19:41] K
and market research, all in one.
[19:45] Sakaki
The eizouken's agenda is production
and research, isn't it?
[19:49] K
Management is a type of research, too.
[19:52] K
The baseball club does that kind of thing.
[19:54] K
They keep records of their sales,
organize the data, and then report on it.
[19:59] K
It's only natural that popularity
[20:01] K
would be the standard by which
club activities are measured.
[20:06] Sakaki
You could manage all that inside
the school's jurisdiction.
[20:08] K
It wouldn't be anything more
than a simulation, then.
[20:11] Sakaki
Well, it's not exactly a model for society.
[20:14] Sakaki
Schools are a world unto themselves.
[20:16] Sakaki
Step too far outside of that world,
and you won't be protected anymore.
[20:20] K
What're you getting at?
[20:24] A
Behold!
[20:28] A
We're moving beyond simple rotation!
[20:31] A
Fans, drills...
[20:32] A
propeller skirts, ducted fans, and chainsaws!
[20:37] A
It's time we reconsider all
of these spinning machines!
[20:40] Sakaki
What is this thing?
[20:41] K
Her job.
[20:42] Sakaki
This?
[20:44] A
This motion is more like a gear.
[20:46] M
Like in a clock?
[20:52] A
What is this? Wavy grass?
[20:54] D
No, it's wavy sound.
[20:59] D
You layer it like this, the
same way you would an image.
[21:04] A
I can hear it.
[21:09] A
You knock it around, layer it,
clip it up, and reattach it...
[21:12] Sakaki
What kind of tool is it supposed to be?
[21:15] A
I'll think that up.
[21:28] A
I've got it!
[21:31] A
This equipment is said to be able
to transmit wishes and gratitude
[21:33] A
from the surface world to the underwater one!
SIGN A device (ritual tool) that was created by using machine technology
originally designed for milling

that mutual exchange!

[21:45] A
The tradition behind it is eventually forgotten,
[21:49] A
but the technology itself evolves
into becoming the basis for
[21:51] A
clockwork machinery, and is passed on.
[21:53] K
And the bells?
[21:54] A
Festival rites.
[21:56] A
They purify people of their evil,
[21:57] A
and call upon the water for a bountiful harvest.
[22:10] M
The chime!
[22:59] K
I'm curious...
[23:01] K
Does this have anything to
do with our current project?
[23:05] M
Did you figure out how to connect this to it?
[23:06] D
You're really gonna need
to decide on the villains,
[23:08] D
or I won't be able to make
much progress with the sounds.
[23:10] K
What about the climax? Have you figured
out the identity of the bad guys?
[23:14] A
Not yet...
[23:15] K
And what are they after?! I thought you
were gonna put a bow on the concept?!
[23:23] Sakaki
I forgot that they're in their own world, too.

[05:53] K
I'd say the tech marks him
as a human being, actually.
[05:56] M
What's he doing here on a Sunday, though?
[05:59] F
I must be present whenever you girls
are at the school for club activities.
[06:03] F
Them's the rules.
[06:04] F
And with you three, that means
I basically never get a day off.
[06:09] F
Not to mention I'm always here late
without getting paid overtime...
[06:12] F
Being a club adviser is a lot
rougher than I imagined.
[06:18] F
I figured I'd play video games all day,
[06:21] F
but had trouble deciding on which one.
[06:25] F
See, you can't expect
someone to be able to work
[06:28] F
with no time off or no enjoyment.
[06:29] F
Don't work more than you have to,
[06:32] F
and when you find the time to, you play around.
[06:34] F
That's the trick to working.
[06:38] A
That's it! We haven't
been playing around enough!
[06:41] A
Time to make up for lost time!

So have fun, young lady.

SIGN Underground Tunnel
[07:27] A
There's a sheer cliff on the other side of here!
SIGN This is less making the project fun,

[07:31] K
It's a freaking sheer cliff! We could
actually die if we fell from here!
[07:35] A
Look at you, repeating what I just said like
[07:39] A
you're the first one to realize it—
[07:42] M
There's a swing!
[07:43] K
That thing that looks like it's meant
for trapping people by the behind?
[07:46] A
You'd have to be nuts to get on that thing!
[07:49] A
You could end up biting the big one!
[07:50] M
Aw, man, I wanna swing on it!
[07:52] M
I don't think there's a route
to get down there. How come?
[07:55] K
All roads lead to Rome.
Maybe you need to go there first.
[07:57] A
You'd still need a road from Rome,
and I don't see any leading to the swing.
[08:00] M
Let's take the river, then!
[08:02] K
Are we headed toward heaven or hell?
[08:06] K
Either way, make sure to
pay the ferryman yourself.
[08:09] A
Y'know you cross the river
Styx widthwise, right?
[08:13] A
That makes the afterlife over there!
[08:14] M
So the world we live in is heaven and hell, huh?
[08:18] A
No wonder it's so hard to "live" in it!
[08:24] A
What's up, Kanamori?
[08:27] K
Well, I think I just saw a ghost.

On the other side, likely.
[09:00] A
I guess we'd have to go through here...
[09:03] M
There's too much water to pass through.
[09:06] A
I guess we really do need a sub.

I'm pretty sure this is a road, not a river.

Its Golden Age and Fall
SIGN Due to several inventions created in the civilization's
earliest period they became relatively more advanced,
which only led to further technical optimization
brought on by even greater technological innovation
over time. This explains why their culture can exist in

SIGN Urban area that spreads out across the bottom of the sea
SIGN Closer
SIGN Large elevator used for

SIGN As nations began to be constructed at the bottom of the sea, a shift
occurred in transport infrastructure.
SIGN Massive shift in infrastructure!!
[09:46] ---
Instead of ascending to the surface
[09:48] ---
via an underwater elevator to travel at sea level,
[09:49] ---
they realized that spreading the

would be more efficient in

[12:38] (Flashback) A
I... uh... don't know any magic tricks,

So why haven't you?
[13:27] (Flashback) A
I'm bad with crowds.
[13:29] (Flashback) A
And I wanted to be with a friend when I did.
[13:34] (Flashback) K
Please stop hiding behind me.
[13:37] (Flashback) K
Besides, I'm not exactly your friend, am I?
[13:40] (Flashback) A
But what about in PE?
[13:42] (Flashback) K
The idea that all children
can potentially be friends
[13:44] (Flashback) K
is magical thinking on
the part of the educators.
[13:47] (Flashback) K
Our interests simply coincided at the time,
[13:50] (Flashback) K
since we had no one else.
[13:54] (Flashback) A
So friendship is magical?
[13:56] (Flashback) K
That said... we'll probably be
coexisting at school for the time being,
[14:00] (Flashback) K
so there's bound to be a bit of give-and-take.
[14:02] (Flashback) A
Coexistence?
[14:04] (Flashback) K
I'll be going now.
[14:06] (Flashback) A
Wait!
[14:07] (Flashback) A
I'll carry this for you.
[14:09] (Flashback) A
I'll be joining you, and you
won't have to carry the bag!
[14:13] (Flashback) A
It's coexistence!

The school has no choice but
to let us move forward at this point.
[17:11] A
Goodness gracious, that sure is something.
[17:13] M
So we can finish the short?
[17:16] K
Speaking of, is it done? The concept
for the enemy, and the story?
[17:23] A
You bet your butt!
[17:26] A
Es perfecto!
[17:27] A
Ta-dah!
[17:32] A
An enemy UFO is shot down and crash-lands.
[17:41] A
There's a silhouette inside the cockpit....
[17:47] A
The enemy is a kappa!
[17:50] A
They didn't come from space, but nearby!
[17:53] A
But through a quirk of fate,
[17:55] A
they learn about their history
as a result of the crash-landing.
[18:06] A
As water levels began to rise,
[18:09] A
the remaining cities were
built higher and higher,
[18:12] A
but those forced to live in
the water eventually found
[18:15] A
their bodies adapting to their new way of life.
[18:17] M
The Atlantis Alliance!
[18:21] A
A race from below the waves!
SIGN Gills
[18:24] A
For a while, they communicated
[18:25] A
with their distant brethren with a
device that worked like a prayer wheel,
[18:29] A
but in time the tradition
faded and was forgotten,
[18:31] A
leading to ignorance that
bred fear, and then enmity...
[18:34] A
with both sides arming themselves.
[18:37] A
That's how land reclamation
turned into an invasion.
[18:40] A
A war waged because of a forgotten kinship...
[18:43] A
Conflict born from focusing
only on one's own conditions.
[18:45] A
A battle rooted in a lack
of concern for each other.
[19:03] A
"The humans we were so afraid of..."
[19:05] A
"They're not different
from us kappas after all!"
[19:07] A
He realizes what they have in common.
[19:09] A
And at the same time, a human
enemy has a similar revelation.
[19:12] M
Wait, new material?
[19:14] A
W-We can manage it by altering
the footage of the kappa POW,
[19:17] A
so it won't be as much work as it sounds like!
[19:20] A
He hears the chime of the
harmonious prayer bell...
[19:29] A
Things play out the same way.
[19:42] ---
And the human has the same realization:
[19:50] ---
"The enemy isn't something dreadful,
but the same as us."
[19:56] ---
The entire conflict spins
out of the deterioration
[19:59] ---
and disrepair of a system for interchange!
[20:02] ---
It's war!
SIGN Zoom Screech Pow
[20:04] ---
Then they both take action.
[20:07] ---
To repair the signaling device
that allows for communication
[20:10] ---
with the other side,
and restore trust in each other...
SIGN Prayer bell

SIGN This time the light crosses by up close in front of the screen
[20:17] A
The POWs don't betray their own kind,
[20:19] A

reconcile with their lost kin!

And then...

[20:44] A
Hearing the sound, all parties involved
learn the truth about each other.
[20:50] A
They come to an understanding,
and the fighting stops.
[20:56] A
The theme of this work...
[21:01] A
is coexistence.
SIGN Coexistence
[21:10] A
Values are shaped by surroundings.
[21:13] A
It's only natural that there'd be
different ways of looking at things.
[21:16] A
A mutually beneficial relationship
of give-and-take...
[21:21] A
And the grand finale is a
dance party with the kappas!
SIGN Dance party with kappas and people begins!
[21:25] M
Kappas?
[21:26] M
But I was drawing people in the rough drafts.
[21:29] A
They're basically the same shape as humans!
[21:31] A
You just need to add a little bowl
to the top of their heads.
[21:35] M
Well, I guess that shouldn't be too hard.
[21:38] K
11:30?!
[21:40] K

[00:30] D
The track itself isn't a bad one, but...
[00:33] M
It doesn't fit the story at all!
[00:35] D
It's kinda the opposite. It's got a sad vibe.
[00:39] M
Which isn't fun at all!
[00:41] M
We can't use this!
[00:43] M
Is there anything else?!
[00:44] K
This is the only track that was sent?
[00:46] D
It is.
[00:47] D
I wonder if the idea was to compose it
using traditional film scoring.
[00:50] M
It doesn't match the visuals at all!
[00:52] M
Why?! Let's call them!
[00:53] D
I dunno, I really doubt a
rewrite would be ready in time.
[00:58] K
Is there any other music we can use?
[00:59] M
Well, we can't use this in the dance scene!
[01:02] M
It was done to fit the demo,
so it won't work with anything else!
[01:05] K
What about the demo itself?
[01:07] M
Ugh, why'd he change it out of the blue?!
[01:10] M
Of all the... It's so...!
[01:13] K
Well, we can't use this. I understand.
[01:19] K
We'll have to pass on this music.
Look for some free tracks we can—
[01:24] M
I'm telling you, there are none!
[01:25] M
I made sure the animation matched
the exact timing and rhythm!
[01:28] K
Well, what do we do, then?
[01:31] K
We've dragged a lot of other people
into announcing the day of the sale.
[01:35] K
All of our advertising and DVD
sales are targeted for Comet A.
[01:39] K
Everything has been moving
toward that one day.
[01:42] K
Not to mention, having Tsubame Mizusaki at the
event selling DVDs was a big part of our draw.
[01:48] K
And there are a lot of
people who are going to be
[01:50] K
participating at the special
screening in Shibahama, too.
[01:52] K
No matter how the short turns out,
[01:54] K
our participation in Comet A
is a 1,000% foregone conclusion.
[01:59] K
Do you have any ideas, Asakusa?
[02:02] K
We've got one hour and 32 minutes before
[02:04] K
our arrangement with the company we
have making the DVDs for cheap is broken.
[02:08] A
Can we stretch that out a little?
[02:10] A
Maybe get us until the morning?
[02:12] K
I'll try negotiating, just in case,
but don't get your hopes up.
[02:19] K
There's something I need your help with.
[02:22] K
Right. Do you think it's possible?
[02:25] K
Yes, it's an emergency.
[02:29] K
I see.
[02:31] K
Okay, in that case, don't worry about it.
[02:34] K
Yeah. Right.
[02:36] K
I hope we can work together
again some time.
[02:42] ---
They could only wait as late as midnight tonight.
[02:45] ---
Any later and the delay fee
would nearly double the price.
[02:49] ---
Since we're on a tight budget,
[02:51] ---
and it probably won't be ready,
I went ahead and canceled.
[02:53] M
It wouldn't kill them to just wait a little.
[02:56] M
We're in big trouble here!
[02:57] K
This is how it works.
[03:00] K
An overnight job would mean making
extra arrangements for their staff...
[03:04] K
And it'll affect their workload tomorrow.
[03:06] K
This have their own business to worry about.
[03:08] K
They don't gain anything by indulging
our trouble for fun, or out of curiosity.
[03:14] K
If anything, they're already at a loss,
since we canceled so suddenly.
[03:17] K
The school has protected us,
[03:20] K
and taken our side when they've
deemed us in need of it,
[03:23] K
but once we're outside of their jurisdiction,
[03:25] K
the fact that we're "just students"
doesn't hold water anymore.
[03:29] K
That being the case,
[03:30] K
I now need to come up with a way
for us to produce these DVDs.
[03:34] K
I'll figure it out, so don't worry.
[03:36] K
In the meantime,
[03:37] K
I need the rest of you to think
up a way to finish the short.
[03:41] M
No... but it's already...
[03:42] A
Think...
[03:44] A
That's it! Keep thinking!
[03:47] A
Let's adjust the whole thing to fit this score!

We'll ditch the dance scene! And make
major adjustments to the story!

[05:35] A

[05:36] A
Something's actually been kinda
bothering me about the finale.
[05:39] A
Whether it was a good idea.
[05:40] A
We can adjust the whole
thing to suit this music,
[05:44] A
and then, if we make a new finale,
[05:45] A
I think it'll turn out even
better than we we have.
[05:47] M
Adjust to the music?
[05:49] A
We can release the dance scene as
special extra footage somewhere.
[05:55] K
"Adjust the whole thing."
"Change the finale."
[05:57] K
There's no way we have time to—
[05:58] A
We can use the material we already
have for everything except the finale!
[06:01] A
And the finale would only
be another two cuts!
[06:03] A
So... we should be able to
finish by... morning, I think.
[06:08] M
And the final result will something
you'd be satisfied with?
[06:12] A
Indeed!
[06:13] A
Right now, we have a story where two
sides with different positions start fighting,
[06:17] A
and then a pair of prisoners from each side
[06:19] A
realize everything they have in common,
[06:21] A

I'm hungry for some sincere criticism.

Is that Tsubame Mizusaki?
[12:10] A
Seems pretty obvious who she is, bag or not.
[12:13] K
And that's fine. It's all stagecraft.
[12:16] K
The idea of "The model who makes anime"
helps strengthen Mizusaki's identity,
SIGN @kpst_066 I saw something, but I dunno if it's her or not. #TsubameMizusaki @mooric_07 Whoa, there's someone who kinda looks like Tsubame Mizusaki at Comet A #CometA @gmzymt I think she's selling something, but Tsubame Mizusaki being at Comet A freaked me out... #CometA @2000tinachu Oh, that's cool. #CometA @gmzymt Apparently Tsubame Mizusaki is making an anime while in high school. Impressive. #CometA @mtbokkuri_t2 Saw Tsubame Mizusaki at Comet A with a paper bag on her head lol #CometA @a2k801 Huh?! That was actually Tsubame?! I should've shaked her hand.... <- #TsubameMizusaki #CometA @chelyama wiped out from setting up table #CometA @ryuusis_1710 hang on!!! tsubame's at comet a!!!! she's got a paper bag and is selling an anime for some group!!! why!?!?!?!?! #CometA @bujisawa_0827 It's unbelievable that she's a popular amateur model and an animator. I guess God gives some people two gifts. #CometA @cs_1992_mnm Wow someone at Comet A looks a lot like Tsubame Mizusaki! is what I thought when I passed by, but I guess that's really her. I wonder if she made something. #CometA @asstnt_ss I'm almost there! I hope the book I wanted is still in stock... #CometA @kkk375 That was Tsubame Mizusaki selling something, right?! She was super cute #CometA @yoi_0902 Tsubame made an anime? I should've gone...! #CometA @minami47uv why the paper bag tho #TsubameMizusaki #CometA
[12:22] K
but if we have people speculating on why
[12:23] K
she would go as far as to hide her identity,
[12:25] K
just because she's making anime...
[12:26] K
It will amplify their interest in the project.

I'd like a copy.

Turning a profit from these kinds of
events is a bit of an anachronism,
[13:40] K
but when you factor in the awareness
that this has built for us,
[13:44] K
I think we can call this project a success.
[13:46] M
The reactions on social
media were pretty good, too!
[14:01] A
Come to think of it,
[14:02] A
Doumeki just recorded some audio from
the show floor and then left, huh?

She doesn't believe in group activities
for their own sake, after all.

Even then, it's pretty easy...

We've got more to do tomorrow,
