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

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

    Voice actor auditions?
[01:28] M
    And I'm the judge?!
[01:30] K
    Once the idea was proposed
    to the chamber of commerce,
[01:32] K
    they enthusiastically agreed, thinking it'd
     be good advertising for the town.
[01:37] M
    I don't wanna—
[01:38] K
    You could have the starring role.
[01:40] K
    Except I know you'd rather not.
[01:42] K
    Which is why I'm asking for your
    help with this instead.
[01:45] M
    Well, I'll take it over being in the cast.
[01:47] K
    I'll let them know, then.
[01:49] A
    And if we're going to secure
    music and have auditions,
[01:52] A
    it'd help to know what the
    story was going to be.
[01:56] A
    A party!
[01:57] A
    After hearing that music, I was
    inspired to make our finale into a dance scene!
[02:01] M
    It's a party! That seems fun! I love it!
[02:05] M
    If we're going to be animating to music,
[02:07] M
    we'll need to get an early demo
    of the music for the dance scene!
[02:09] K
    Why exactly are they partying?
[02:12] A
    Maybe it's a...
[02:13] A
    Celebration for a hard-won victory!
[02:15] K
    "Inspired." "Maybe."
[02:18] K
    It feels like you're just
    submitting scenes you thought up
[02:21] K
    with no thought to the overall picture.
[02:27] K
    I don't care what the actual story is,
    but it's about time you—
[02:31] Sakaki
    It's lively in here, as usual.
[02:34] Sakaki
    Having a little party, Kanamoney?
[02:38] A
    Kanamoney!
[02:40] Dotonbori
    Quiet, you!
[02:43] K
    Did you think of another excuse to fine us?
[02:45] Sakaki
    It's not about that.
[02:47] Sakaki
    You've always got your mind on cash, huh?
[02:48] K
    It's not money that I like,
    it's productive activities.
[02:52] Sakaki
    And the money?
[02:53] K
    The money helps quantify that productivity.
[02:56] Sakaki
    Well, there's a little problem with that...
[03:02] Sakaki
    Turns out, the school isn't thrilled
    about you making money on the outside.

[04:39] A
    Wh-What's wrong, Kanamori?
[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?

    see the back of the clock!
[15:01] K
    I'd wager the owners or some

[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.

    The last scene is a duel atop the

    Stop. Hold it right there.

[16:37] A
    In our club room, on the
    other side of the coast,
[16:41] A
    the subject for an exposure

[16:44] A
    Something was fired from this side...
[16:46] A
    Which lit something in the eizouken club room

    into gear, to awaken something!

    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!
SIGN    K
[17:16] D
    Kanamori, get the fluffy thing from my bag.
[17:19] D
    Asakusa, set up the tripod!
[17:21] A
    Roger Wilco!
[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
    We're moving beyond simple rotation!
[20:31] A
    Fans, drills...
[20:32] A
    propeller skirts, ducted fans, and chainsaws!
[20:37] A
    It's time we reconsider all
    of these spinning machines!
[20:40] Sakaki
    What is this thing?
[20:41] K
    Her job.
[20:42] Sakaki
    This?
[20:44] A
    This motion is more like a gear.
[20:46] M
    Like in a clock?
[20:52] A
    What is this? Wavy grass?
[20:54] D
    No, it's wavy sound.
[20:59] D
    You layer it like this, the
    same way you would an image.
[21:04] A
    I can hear it.
[21:09] A
    You knock it around, layer it,
    clip it up, and reattach it...
[21:12] Sakaki
    What kind of tool is it supposed to be?
[21:15] A
    I'll think that up.
[21:28] A
    I've got it!
[21:31] A
    This equipment is said to be able
    to transmit wishes and gratitude
[21:33] A
    from the surface world to the underwater one!
SIGN    A device (ritual tool) that was created by using machine technology
     originally designed for milling
SIGN    Top is a flat surface
SIGN    Cylinder is made from bamboo,
     cut into quarters
SIGN    Jet
    Sometimes depicted as going up
     and down
SIGN    Range of rotation is
    90 degrees, won't turn
    all the way at once
[21:39] A
    And the water responds in kind by
    granting the surface world its blessing.
SIGN    Wing
SIGN    Axel catches water,
    causing the paddle to rotate
SIGN    How the movement works
SIGN    Axel
SIGN    Stabilizer
SIGN    Teeth will catch if there's
     ever reverse rotation.
    Lower axles also rotate.
SIGN    Flow of water
SIGN    Direction of piston movement
SIGN    It's pushed in an undulating motion,
     so the axle moves upwards
SIGN    The paddles move left and right,
    like a pendulum, when hit by
     the flow of water
SIGN    Raised up by water's pull
     on the paddle, which is
     connected to the axe
[21:43] A
    This device is what enables
    that mutual exchange!
SIGN    Output
SIGN    Output
SIGN    Input
[21:45] A
    The tradition behind it is eventually forgotten,
[21:49] A
    but the technology itself evolves
    into becoming the basis for
[21:51] A
    clockwork machinery, and is passed on.
[21:53] K
    And the bells?
[21:54] A
    Festival rites.
[21:56] A
    They purify people of their evil,
[21:57] A
    and call upon the water for a bountiful harvest.
[22:10] M
    The chime!
[22:59] K
    I'm curious...
[23:01] K
    Does this have anything to
    do with our current project?
[23:05] M
    Did you figure out how to connect this to it?
[23:06] D
    You're really gonna need
    to decide on the villains,
[23:08] D
    or I won't be able to make
    much progress with the sounds.
[23:10] K
    What about the climax? Have you figured
    out the identity of the bad guys?
[23:14] A
    Not yet...
[23:15] K
    And what are they after?! I thought you
    were gonna put a bow on the concept?!
[23:23] Sakaki
    I forgot that they're in their own world, too.
