**[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.
***SIGN*** Team
***SIGN*** Darker than the last cut
(but the power is still on)
Monitor is lit brightly
***SIGN*** Officer A
**[07:45] Seki**
There have been reports of
vibrations being detected underground!
***SIGN*** Voice on the Radio:
"It's a monster.
A crab-type monster
has appeared!"
**[07:47] Goto**
It's a monster. A crab-type
monster has appeared.
**[07:49] Ono**
Time to blast out of the water!
**[07:54] Ono**
Launch it from the catapult!
**[07:58] A**
Cut!
**[08:01] A**
Your ad-libs are things that
will be conveyed in the footage,
***SIGN*** Robot VS Monster (TBD)
Voice Over Script
**[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.
**[08:15] Ono**
Sorry about that!
**[08:16] Ono**
Pile bunker!
**[08:18] Kobayashi**
We are honestly so excited about this!
**[08:19] Ono**
Recoil start!
**[08:22] A**
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.
***SIGN*** Film
**[08:52] M**
Wait, the song for the
opening still isn't ready?
**[08:55] K**
Not only is it not ready,
**[08:57] K**
there was so much trouble putting it
together that they said to forget about it.
**[09:01] K**
Which means less work for us, thankfully.
**[09:03] A**
If there's no opening, I kind
like the idea of just—boom!
**[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**
I'm gonna work on this a bit more...
**[12:26] A**
I guess I should work on the backgrounds.
**[12:28] PA**
*Uh, we have a bit of news.*
**[12:31] PA**
*There's a warning for torrential rain,*
**[12:33] PA**
*so classes are canceled for the rest of the day.*
**[12:35] PA**
* All students are to head*
* home as quickly as possible.*
**[12:39] K**
With the amount of work we have to do,
**[12:41] K**
we can't just take the rest of the day off.
**[12:43] M**
What do you think will happen to the
food they had ready for lunch?
**[12:45] A**
It's raining!
**[12:46] A**
At times like this,
you shouldn't be caught without...
**[12:49] A**
A rain poncho!

**[13:02] M**
Ugh, I'm freezing!
***SIGN*** Please use the
actual entrance
**[13:05] K**
I'm going to use the bathhouse
before heading home.
**[13:07] M**
A bathhouse?! I've never been to one before!
**[13:12] A**
I'm going, too!
**[13:13] A**
One sec, gotta notify Mom.
**[13:16] A**
Hey, it's me. Can I stop by the
bathhouse before going home?
**[13:18] M**
Are Asakusa's parents strict or something?
**[13:20] A**
With Kanamori and Mizusaki.
**[13:21] K**
It's just a matter of keeping them informed.
**[13:22] A**
Class let out early because
of the rain warning.
**[13:23] K**
As long as she keeps in touch,
they won't be upset.
**[13:26] M**
Huh, that's not like my parents at all.
**[13:27] A**
**[13:30] A**
She said it's okay!

**[14:02] M**

***SIGN*** Ladies
**[14:03] M**
The "ladies" curtain that's so famous!
**[14:09] M**
You put your clothes in here? That's neat!
**[14:12] M**
Do you think they'd mind
if I took pictures inside?
**[14:14] K**
They sure as hell would!
**[14:19] M**
So I can jump in here?
**[14:21] K**
That's the rinsing water.
**[14:24] K**
You're supposed to wash off first.
***SIGN*** Rules for the Bathhouse
**[14:26] K**
You'll see rules along those lines
in just about any bathhouse.
**[14:29] M**
Like a tutorial...
**[14:30] A**
Check this out!
**[14:32] A**
A bucket in each hand!
**[14:34] A**
I have all I need to clean
off in one fell swoop!
**[14:38] K**
You're trying to save water when
you paid to bathe in a bathhouse?!
**[14:42] K**
Stop showing off!
**[14:46] M**
Kanamori, could you do that again?
**[14:50] M**
One more time!
**[14:54] M**
One more time!
**[14:59] A**
Enough already!
**[15:03] M**
Sorry! The movement of the water was just...
**[15:05] A**
Can it! And take this!
**[15:09] A**
By the way, Mizusaki,
**[15:10] A**
will your parents be mad about
your clothes getting soaked?
**[15:13] M**
Nah. My parents give me a lot of freedom.
**[15:16] M**
The only times I can
remember them being mad...
**[15:18] M**
is when I tried to push the house with
a car in preschool and broke a wall.
**[15:22] M**
And when I tried hatch an egg,
but it rotted instead.
**[15:25] A**
The egg thing! I did that, too.
**[15:27] K**
They said we couldn't have an ostrich as a pet.
**[15:30] A**
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
**[15:48] M**
is my dad's idea of trying to
make my mom's dream come true.
**[15:52] K**
And your mother doesn't care?
**[15:54] M**
She totally lets me have my freedom.
**[15:56] M**
I'm more of a grandma's girl, anyway.
**[16:30] A**
An impenetrable barrier!
**[16:32] M**
A barrier...
**[16:34] M**
You're pretty tough.
**[16:36] A**
Right back at you.
**[16:37] A**
Huh? Kanamori, are you getting out already?
**[16:40] K**
I haven't eaten yet.

**[16:57] M**
These are the ones we caught?
**[16:58] A**
I'd wager they make them purge
mud for a good long while,
**[17:01] A**
so the ones we caught will go to someone else.
**[17:04] M**
We should've marked them!
**[17:06] A**
I'll add a note to the bathhouse log.

**[18:11] M**
Hey, the rain's stopped.
**[18:14] K**
We should head home.
**[18:15] M**
I guess so.
**[18:19] M**
Asakusa isn't waking up.
**[18:20] K**
Leave her.
**[18:21] M**
We have to take her back with us...
**[18:23] M**
Asakusa!
**[18:27] M**
No good. Guess I'm carrying her.
**[18:30] M**
Upsy-daisy...
***SIGN*** Ongyoku Bathhouse

Exploring...

**[18:54] A**
And... then...
**[18:59] M**
Blargh!
**[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.

You see that vibrate!

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!
