    Are you okay, Midori?
[00:11] Midori
    I'm carsick.
[00:13] Mom
    Do you need a bag?
[00:15] Midori
    No.
[00:17] Mom
    Okay, almost there.
[00:24] Midori
    By the time I was in sixth grade,
    my dream was to become an adventurer.

    We're gonna live here?

[00:42] Mom
    You are? Be careful!
[00:56] Midori
    It's gonna take a long time
    to see everything here!

    I'm going to the airport to pick Dad up.
[01:47] Mom
    Watch some anime and wait for me, okay?
[01:49] Midori
    Okay. Be safe.

[02:51] Midori
    It wasn't something I could do myself.
[02:54] Midori
    But the big, epic world of adventure
    I wanted to experience...
[02:58] Midori
    was right in front of me.
[03:03] Midori
    That was the first time I realized...
[03:04] Midori
    that someone made the anime I watched.

[04:58] Kanamori
    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.
[05:22] Kanamori
    Why, Asakusa, did you expect to
    get my labor without compensation?

    I guess I didn't think it through.
[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.
[07:15] Midori
    You're taking advantage of me.

[07:23] Kanamori
    Please stop using me as a shield.
[07:26] Midori
    Doesn't seem to be very busy...
[07:28] Midori
    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—
[09:25] Movie?
    Conaso!
[09:27] Movie?
    Lana!
[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.

[13:40] Midori
    There's a walkway on the second floor
    that leads to the Ongyoku Bathhouse!
[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.
[13:52] Midori
    This place is a bit like my secret hideout.

[13:58] Midori
    Take this as an apology.
[14:00] Tsubame
    Aw, you didn't have to...
[14:08] Kanamori
    I've got some cash.
[14:09] Tsubame
    Wow, thanks!
[14:11] Kanamori
    Oh, no, just think of it as an investment.
[14:13] Midori
    There's a waiting room on the second floor!
SIGN    Coin Laundry
[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!

[22:52] Tsubame
    Which way is the station?!
[22:53] Midori
    I'll show you the shortest route!

    I am not running.

    But you always get better times than me.

    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!

    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?

    Well, you said used all of

[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

    Do you really think that they're going

    There's a poster for a competition back there.
[02:08] Yokota
    The clubs at our school tend
    not to be very competitive.

    Hang on, Kanamori!

    Huh? You can't make anime!
[02:50] Yokota
    We've already got an anime club!

[02:53] Kanamori
    Anime is film too, isn't it?
[02:55] Kanamori
    So we call ourselves the film club,

    We'd love to start a film club!

    I'm going to go ahead and take some video.
     It'll help for a plan of action.
[05:53] Tsubame
    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,

    Well, good luck.
[06:13] Kanamori
    Holes in the ceiling and walls, and no

[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,

[09:00] Tsubame
    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
    You have really long legs, Kanamori.
[09:30] Kanamori
    I slept a lot, so I grew up big and strong.
[09:32] Kanamori
    And now the upload is complete.
[09:35] Tsubame
    And we're going to get paid for it?

[10:59] Kanamori
    What exactly is this idiocy, Asakusa?
[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
    when she's got a cool head.
[14:07] Kanamori
    A complete idiot when she's worked up, though.
[14:10] Tsubame
    That's funny!

    I wouldn't say a complete idiot...

[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!

    Let's set out!

    Too far.

[00:42] Kanamori
    It just looks like a random

    A good design is about paying attention

[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?

[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

     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
    club room ship's emergency lock engage!
[09:43] Tsubame
    This is bad! I have to go to the bathroom!
[09:46] Midori
    We don't have much oxygen left.
[09:55] Tsubame
    Hey!
[09:57] Midori
    Mayday, mayday! Please respond!
[09:59] Kanamori
    Yeah, yeah, this is the command room!
[10:02] Kanamori
    Is it an incident or an accident?
[10:03] Midori
    An accident! The ladder fell down,
    and we're stuck up here!

    Requesting assistance!
[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
    Please! We're gonna die!
[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
    The bathroom emergency is taken care—
[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.

[12:46] Kanamori
    The format has each team make their
    presentation in the gymnasium,
[12:50] Kanamori
    which is then the basis for
    their budget during that period.
[12:54] Lunch lady
    Here's your shoyu ramen with

    Two bottles of milk, seven croquettes,

    Wait, we've gotta go up in front of a crowd?
[13:03] Kanamori
    That's right.
[13:06] Kanamori
    Each group has ten minutes
    to make their presentation.
[13:08] Kanamori
    Our film production association is
    going to be requesting 60,000 yen.
[13:13] Kanamori
    That's the maximum amount an
    "association" can ask for.
[13:16] Tsubame
    So the anime should be about five minutes long?
[13:18] Midori
    We'll have to start with a
    script and some storyboards.
[13:20] Kanamori
    Quality isn't our prime concern here.
[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.

    Are we fine with using this for the location?

    I like it! So, what's going to happen here?
[16:13] Kanamori
    We just need the animation.

[17:21] Kanamori
    The sound's a bit out of sync.
[17:24] Midori
    That's detail in the sound effects.
[17:25] Midori
    Light travels faster than sound, y'know.
[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,

[18:58] Tsubame
    How do the wrinkles bunch up
     when you move in a hakama?
[19:00] Tsubame
    They work while studying all

[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?!

    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

[00:49] A
    You've gotten really good

[00:52] M
    I wanted a real one, but they

[00:55] M
    I have no idea how this smoke is moving...
[00:59] A
    Smoke can be pretty

[01:02] ---
    There's nothing wrong with

[01:39] M
    Since there's no option for previews,

    only getting to see it once it's
    finished makes a stronger impression.
[01:43] M
    The extra time until it's ready gives

[01:46] M
    You get that, "So that's how

    like after you fire some sculpted clay.
[01:49] M
    You imagine how it'll turn
     out while you work on it,

[01:52] M
    It makes you think about where

    Since the screen's big

    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!

    We will now begin shooting with our

[05:02] A
    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.
[07:49] K
    Then, by all means, make whatever
    you want, however you want.
[07:53] K
    We're going into this
    budget review committee...
[07:57] K
    And our plan is to bluff.
[08:34] M
    It's hard to get the right
    line quality with a scan...
[08:37] K
    You're the one who wanted
    to do this with paper.
[08:41] K
    Getting the lines to look nice and
    finishing the coloring takes time.
[08:45] K
    We're not going to be able to finish this anime
[08:47] K
    with just what you have on paper.

[08:50] M
    Automated inbetweening?!
[08:51] K
    Right. We generate the art between
    key frames automatically,
[08:55] K
    which should save us on the
    time needed to color them.
[08:57] K
    That'll let you focus more
    on the general animation.

    We're already using digital

[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.

    and apparently don't feel anime backgrounds
[11:23] K
    are a sufficient outlet for

[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.

    it's needed, and get get to work!

    So, were you able to finish?
[13:22] A
    I'd say it's less about finishing
    or completing the project,

    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?

    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?

    And even then, we ended up having to stay

    The night watch is going to
    be making the rounds soon.

[13:58] A
    Then again, considering we never left,

    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

    still trespassing, right?

[22:25] Sakaki
    Huh... they were actually
    working on something.
[22:25] Crowd
    I wanna see more.
[22:28] K
    What do you two think?
[22:29] A
    Aw, come on.
[22:30] M
    You're seriously asking that, Kanamori?
[22:33] M
    It was hard to pick the tank out
    with the two-tone coloring.
[22:36] M
    We should've added some gray.
[22:37] A
    The transitions during the
    fall didn't look too good.
[22:39] M
    And the dust clouds look really flat
    unless you add textures to them all.
[22:42] Sakaki
    They got something done even without a budget.
[22:42] A
    The rough parts look more
    obvious on a big screen.

    Just shows you must do the job right,

[22:47] K
    One of the frames in the loops
     was missing a shadow.
[22:49] K
    That made it look a bit choppy.
[22:50] A
    Some stuff only becomes obvious
    when you see the final product.
[22:52] A
    Like how almost all the cuts
    are with a wide angle lens.
[22:54] M
    We should bring a PC into the club
    room so we can do regular checks!
[22:57] K
    I'll take it under advisement.
[22:58] A
    Anyway, we've gotta move on from here.
     The editing is pretty rough.
[23:00] A
    You've gotta be thorough, or it wrecks the thing.
[23:02] Sakaki
    What do you think they'll come
    up with if they get a budget?
[23:06] K
    Wouldn't the tank shoot her down?
[23:08] A
    Don't be stupid! Those flight
    suits are really fast!
[23:11] K
    We should probably go over what
     we've got so far and redo the plan.
[23:13] A
    All right! Onto the next phase!
[23:16] A
    Our goal is to put everything
    we want into this thing!

[02:20] ---
    Something about how plain it looks

    Like, it'd barely be able to walk. It's so blocky!
[02:27] ---
    And it's got an action camera for an eye!

    Weapons development is behind schedule.

    Would this really be able to kill them?

[03:07] Goto
    No, not here. It'd be too dangerous.

    Hey, it hit somebody!
[03:16] M
    Wait, Asakusa?
[03:18] Kobayashi
    Aw, shoot! Someone get a towel!
[03:19] K
    As usual, she has incredible timing.
[03:23] A
    What the heck is that thing?
[03:26] Kobayashi
    This is Talos.
[03:27] Kobayashi
    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
    To this very day!
[04:05] K
    They've just been changing the head—
[04:06] A
    Don't!
[04:07] A
    What are you two doing here, anyway?
[04:10] K
    They're hiring us to make an
    anime based on this robot.
[04:15] A
    Robot! Anime! Fun...
[04:19] A
    Wait, what's the catch?
[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
    accept responsibility for a job!
[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?
[05:49] Robot Club
    These...
[05:50] Robot Club

[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

[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

[07:53] M
    You're the one who wanted to

[09:12] K
    We're going to have the spotlight

[09:16] A

[09:21] K
    We're doing a promotional video for them,

[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!

    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!

    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.

    It's better to get out in the world

[11:31] A
    they helped the people of the wetlands

    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!

    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!
[23:22] A
    But what'll happen next?!

    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

[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.

[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.

[08:08] A
    They're really important.

    Good question. What should we do?
[08:16] M

    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

[08:41] K
    It's already taken care of.

[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.

    Here you are. One red pepper ramen.
[09:09] M

[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!

    Our goal this time is to complete this anime!

[13:34] Doumeki
    And you want me to clear out in a rush?

     I don't have a budget.
[13:40] A

[13:48] Doumeki
    I'm begging you, could you

[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.
[13:58] Doumeki
    What?! I won't let them dissolve the club!
[14:01] K
    I'm not seeing any other
    outcomes for you right now.
[14:04] A
    Yeah...
[14:05] A

[14:55] Doumeki
    Please, make it stop!

    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

[15:47] K
    You'll need to empty this place
    out and move everything today.

    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'm Nakamura.
[17:47] Kubo
    I'm Kubo. It's nice to meet you.
[17:50] A

[17:52] K

[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.

    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.

    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!

[23:18] A
    I'm resuming my expedition!
[23:20] A
    Behold my blade, the Lightning Flash!
[23:23] M
    I guess Asakusa's motivation
    switch is pretty random.

    Random enough that we should let her run free.

[00:10] Mom
    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!

[06:13] D
    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.

[08:03] A
    so you don't have to describe every moment.
[08:05] D
    And you don't have to
    vocalize the sound effects.
[08:08] D
    They'll overlap everyone else's dialog.
[08:11] D
    I think we'd be better off
    recording Seki and Goto's dialog
[08:13] D
    for cuts 12 through 21 separately.

    Can we adjust the volume differently per actor?
[08:24] D
    Of course.
[08:25] D
    But we need that storyboard
    video for him to practice with,
[08:29] D
    or it's going to be really hard to get
    him to match the timing of the animation.

[08:52] M
    Wait, the song for the

[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!
[09:07] A
    Chomp, chomp!
[09:09] A
    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
    are never going to see the light of day.
[12:05] M
    No way!
[12:05] M
    I'm gonna draw it all!
[12:13] Teacher
    And with that being the case...
[12:16] Teacher
    All right, we'll continue next time.
[12:18] A
    Time to chow down!
[12:20] A
    Let's sit somewhere we can see the lightning.
[12:22] M

[15:09] A
    By the way, Mizusaki,
[15:10] A
    will your parents be mad about

[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
    An ostrich egg?!
[15:31] K
    I tried to raise pigs for meat once.
[15:34] A
    Who does that?!
[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

[19:02] A
    Pull yourself together!
[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!

    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

    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!

[03:53] K
    Unlike last time,
[03:55] K
    we're going to need to attract an
    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,
[04:00] K
    but our primary objective
    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
    amateur model Tsubame Mizusaki,
[04:27] K
    and how much we can
    put her out in front of this.
[04:30] M
    Whoa! Hang on!
[04:32] M
    That makes it sounds like the anime
    would be playing second fiddle
[04:34] M
    to Tsubame Mizusaki!
[04:36] K
    What're you talking about?
[04:37] K
    We're using you along with
    air-conditioning to get people
[04:40] K
    to pay attention to the anime,
[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
    Oh, right, if your parents find out...
[05:20] M

[05:44] M

[05:27] A
    Must be from all the rain yesterday.
[05:29] A
    It acts like a natural refrigerator...
[05:30] K
    Stop dawdling, Asakusa. It's obnoxious.
[05:34] M
    Gotta say, I wasn't expecting you to suggest
    we go out of our way for lunch, Kanamori.
[05:38] M
    You'd normally say it's a waste of time.
[05:40] A
    You're up to something, aren't you?
[05:42] M
    Hey, what's that?
[05:44] A
    It's an offering. For kappas.
[05:46] M
    Kappas?
[05:47] K
    There are apparently legends about
    kappas having inhabited Shibahama.

    Hey!
[06:46] Kashima
    You came by!
[06:48] K
    Hello.
SIGN    Tsubame Mizusaki
[06:50] M
    Huh...
[06:50] Kashima
    That's right! I watched your robot
    anime at the culture festival!
[06:54] A
    I remember you!
[06:56] K
    And afterward, he sent a
    passionate note of praise.
[07:00] A
    So that's it.
[07:02] Kashima
    Y'know, I watch a fair bit of anime,
    and yours was great! I was moved!
[07:05] Kashima
    The combination of realistic
    robot design principles
[07:08] Kashima
    with fantastical super robot action!
[07:11] Kashima
    That's the kind of robot anime people
    like me have been waiting for!
[07:14] Kashima
    It had the verisimilitude
    that makes you think
[07:16] Kashima
    the creators knew their stuff!
[07:17] Kashima
    And the monster seemed
    like it'd be right at home
[07:18] M
    He's actually praising the short.
[07:19] Kashima
    in the Shibahama underground...
[07:20] Kashima
    It's incredible you girls managed to
    pull that off while in high school!
[07:20] A
    I still feel like we've got too much to
    work on to accept it openly, though...
[07:23] Kashima
    You're prodigies!
[07:26] A
    This is better than I thought.
[07:29] M
    Yeah, seriously! I didn't think fruit
    would go well with ramen.
[07:33] K
    Star fruit has a pretty mild flavor,
    so there's pear juice in this.
[07:37] K
    You could even call it pear ramen instead.
[07:40] K
    It goes to show that a dish can be good
[07:42] K
    even if the fruit used is barely noticeable,
     or bad if you notice it too much.
[07:45] K
    Although part of it being good means
[07:46] K
    demonstrating what's unique
    about the fruit used.
[07:50] M
    You never usually go that deep
    with your thoughts about food.
[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.

    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,

    giving people an idea of the
    material we're working on...

    help us in a variety of ways.

[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!

    Look!

[11:56] A

[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.

    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.

    But people need to buy stuff all the time.

[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

    Thing is, you can be a math wiz, but if
     you don't have a head for business—
[13:23] Uncle

    It's all clear.

    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

    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,

    and you need advertising!
[16:15] K
    If you think a good product is all

[18:24] K
    has agreed to fully finance the short.
[18:27] M
    That's awesome!
[18:28] A
    How'd you do it?! Was it thuggery?!
[18:30] K
    Mr. Kashima from the
    dandan noodle shop lent his support.
[18:34] K
    He's the president of the
    Young Person's Association,
[18:37] K
    and has been working on local
    revitalization projects for a while now.
[18:41] K
    I pitched the idea of a local
    promotional anime, and they ate it up.
SIGN    Revitalizing the town through animation!!
SIGN    • Tsubame Mizusaki will be involved
     • Entertain kids
     • Make it an event for the
     shopping district
     • Voice acting auditions
    
SIGN    Fun!
[18:44] A
    I didn't know Kashimacchy
    was into stuff like that!
[18:46] M
    That's a crazy coincidence...
[18:48] M
    Wait, Kanamori, did you take us to
    his shop knowing this would happen?!
[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!

    They've been releasing tracks through

[00:29] M
    and have worked on indie

[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

[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.

[02:38] 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.

[04:41] M
    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?

[12:29] D
    You're sure you want to come along?
[12:31] K
    Why exactly are we meeting up on bikes?!
[12:34] A

    Let's hunt some sounds!
[12:41] K
    Work on the storyboards!

    What hunt?
[13:11] A
    Scenario hunting!
[13:14] A
    I wanted one last idea to put a

[14:19] K
    And this has something to do
    with the Shibahama-UFO Battle?
[14:23] A
    Probably!
[14:26] M
    No roof, huh?
[14:27] A

[14:38] A
    Interesting to catch a glimpse up close.
[14:40] D
    This is one of the things I'm here for.
[14:43] M
    It's kinda like a tourist spot...
[14:49] A
    Oh, wow! It's a pendulum!
[14:52] M
    I wonder what this place was?
[14:53] A
    Looks to me an awful lot like an alien
    base disguised as a clock tower.
[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
[15:03] K
    fix the place up and turn it

[15:11] A
    It was once a luxurious home to wealthy tenants!

    And inside the clock, high atop it,
     a massive treasure is hidden!
[15:19] A
    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!

SIGN    K
[16:07] A
    It's a DEW the Imperial Army
    was cooking up in secret...
[16:11] A
    A Directed-Energy Weapon!
[16:14] D
    Those are urban legends, right?
[16:15] A
    But then, it turns out, they're real!
[16:18] A
    And maybe this is the forgotten
    laboratory where it was worked on!
[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
    Crap, my target!
[17:13] D
    Everybody, gimme a hand!

[17:25] K
    Is this it?
[17:26] D
    Mizusaki, your jacket's kinda noisy.
[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

[20:42] Sakaki
    This?

[20:54] D
    No, it's wavy sound.

    same way you would an image.
[21:04] A

[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

[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?!

    I forgot that they're in their own world, too.

    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.
SIGN    Bunny High Altitude ver.

    It's completely flooded!
[08:47] A
    There are fish!
SIGN    Submarines
SIGN    Yeah!!!!
[08:56] M
    Where's that swing, though?
[08:57] A
    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.
[09:09] K
    I'm pretty sure this is a road, not a river.

    Whuzzat?!
SIGN    EXIT
[09:14] A
    You're right!
[09:21] A
    I saw something at the other end of the tunnel!

    Was it a kappa? You think?
SIGN    Let's all make this a solar town
[09:26] A

SIGN    The Greater Atlantis Alliance
     of Archipelago States
    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
     the same world as ours despite having developed in
    such a unique way, in theory.

SIGN    In spite of making floating buildings
     so that the nation could be seaborne,

[09:42] A
    it's the embodiment of lost

SIGN    By extending snorkel-like tubes, life on
     the seabed was made possible.
[09:44] ---
    But this is the real draw:
SIGN    Urban area that spreads out across the bottom of the sea
SIGN    Closer
SIGN    Large elevator used for
    distribution of goods
SIGN    Faster
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
    city outward and traveling underwater
[09:52] ---
    would be more efficient in
    terms of energy and time!

    You two can pair up.
[11:55] (Flashback) A
    U-Um, I can manage on my own...
[11:58] (Flashback) Teacher
    No, you can't.
[12:00] A
    Being alone is scary, but so are other people.
[12:04] (Flashback) Teacher
    Okay, one!
[12:06] (Flashback) Teacher

[12:33] (Flashback) A
    Leaves?
[12:34] (Flashback) K
    Leaves.
[12:35] (Flashback) K
    You were playing around in the grass, right?
[12:38] (Flashback) A
    I... uh... don't know any magic tricks,
     so I wouldn't be able to...
[12:44] A
    I wasn't sure how to say no,
    so I ended up going along with her.
[12:51] A
    Is this good enough?
[12:54] (Flashback) A
    Uh, I have some here.
[12:56] (Flashback) K
    Thanks.
[12:58] (Flashback) K
    Here.
[13:00] (Flashback) A
    A thousand yen?!
[13:02] (Flashback) A
    My mother told me never to
    accept money from strangers!
[13:05] (Flashback) K
    I need to take the train to
    sell these, so if you'll excuse me.
[13:10] (Flashback) A
    Train?!
[13:11] (Flashback) A
    I-I'll join you!
[13:13] (Flashback) K
    You don't have to do that.
[13:16] (Flashback) A
    I've never rode a train before.
[13:21] (Flashback) A
    Uh, well...
[13:24] (Flashback) K
    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!

    I'll carry this for you.
[14:09] (Flashback) A
    I'll be joining you, and you
    won't have to carry the bag!

    So we can finish the short?
[17:16] K
    Speaking of, is it done? The concept

[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

    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] ---

    out of the deterioration

[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!
[03:50] A
    We'll ditch the dance scene! And make
     major adjustments to the story!

[05:29] K
    You get two seconds to explain.
[05:31] A
    Can't... Neck...
[05:33] K
    Oh, right.
[05:35] A
    I'm sorry, Mizusaki.
[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
    and how a misunderstanding is
    what caused the conflict.
[06:24] A
    "There's no real reason to fight."
    In order to convey that message,
[06:29] A
    the duo repair, and then activate
    a tool that sends a message.
[06:33] A
    The signal goes out.
[06:34] A
    A sound that reaches everywhere.
[06:36] A
    After everyone hears it, they understand
     the truth in an instant,

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.
