[00:07] [SONG] ---
    We are in the Heisei Era Only!
    This Show was not in Showa!
[00:11] [SONG] ---
    Here, there, everywhere
    - okay! Hey-Say is okay!
[00:14] [SONG] ---
    We're in this era - sorry! But don't worry!
[00:17] [SONG] ---
    We'll surely find our dreams in the
    future. Come on, everybody, follow me!
[00:22] [SONG] ---
    You should start every day
    with a happily pounding heart.
[00:29] [SONG] ---
    All you need is wings, no fancy clothes.
[00:36] [SONG] ---
    I'm gonna be brave and fly out
    to a world never before seen.
[00:42] [SONG] ---
    And I'm taking you with me. Don't be shy.
[00:49] [SONG] ---
    It's just the two of us. Love
    is coming. Love is coming.
[00:56] [SONG] ---
    In the distant universe,
    one star shone brightest.
[01:03] [SONG] ---
    It is the Earth - a sparkling
    stage just for us.
[01:09] [SONG] ---
    The miracle that brought us
    together may have been flawed.
[01:16] [SONG] ---
    But that's meaningless. I like
    you just the way you are.
[01:30] ---
    Just do whatever ya want!
[01:32] ---
    I don't have any feelings
    for Koizumi whatsoever!
[01:42] ---
    Actually, I can use magic.
[01:46] ---
    I will use my magic to make you happy.
[01:50] ---
    Just for your information,
    pal, I'M the guy she likes!
[01:53] ---
    She doesn't like you in the slightest!
[01:58] ---
    Seriously....this time for sure,
    I'll give up on liking you.
[02:04] ---
    This time for sure, we'll go
    back to the way things were.
SIGN    "Iron Fists of Love! Catch My Female Spirit Ball!!"
[03:04] ---

[03:06] ---
    Can't beat it!
[03:08] ---

[03:09] ---

[03:11] ---
    Hit me with your best shot
    - won't do ya no good!
[03:14] ---
    I'm proud of you.
[03:16] ---
    By George, you've got it, Otani!
[03:18] ---
    Oh my, oh my?
[03:20] ---
    Are you okay with not cheering for Maity?
[03:24] ---
    Well, Sir Maity is very mighty indeed.
[03:27] ---
    But you've gotta admire Otani.
[03:29] ---
    He's tiny, but he doesn't
    let it get him down.
[03:32] ---
    He deserves a little praise.
[03:36] ---
    So then, what's up between you and Otani?
[03:39] ---
    What's up? Nothing, really...
SIGN    Fidget, fidget
[03:42] ---
    There's just too much of nothing...
[03:44] ---
    ...that things are back the way they were.
[03:48] ---
    Listen, you...
[03:49] ---
    The comedic duo is making a comeback!
[03:51] ---
    A comeback? Wait...
[03:53] ---
    Why must you guys return to THAT paradigm?!
[03:55] ---
    It's cool.
[03:56] ---
    It's what feels the most relaxing to us.
[03:59] ---
    Risa.
[04:00] ---
    Do you realize the position
    you're in right now?
[04:03] ---
    When Otani said...
[04:04] ---
    President Koizumi!
SIGN    Maity Love, Love-Love My-ty.
[04:08] ---
    President...
[04:09] ---
    Club Maity....it's d-disbanded, yes?
[04:13] ---
    Say it isn't so!
[04:14] ---
    Well, er...
[04:16] ---
    It's horrible! Mr. Maity has a fiancee!
[04:21] ---
    Seriously?!
[04:25] ---
    I see...
[04:28] ---
    It wasn't my intention to
    conceal that information...
[04:31] ---
    But I suppose the word got out.
[04:33] ---
    All the girls were super depressed.
[04:38] ---
    Won't you be depressed for me, Miss Koizumi?
[04:40] ---
    Well, er, that's not exactly...
[04:43] ---
    Mr. Maity, check this out.
[04:45] ---
    Risa says she and Otani are
    bringing back the comedic duo BS.
[04:49] ---
    Will you please tell her she's being crazy?
[04:50] ---
    Why'm I crazy?
[04:51] ---
    Don't ask me.
[04:54] ---
    Miss Koizumi, I wouldn't expect
    you to be the timid type.
[05:03] ---
    Well, in any case, I'm glad your
    relationship with Otani is no longer strained.
[05:09] ---
    Bye.
[05:16] ---
    My magic spell still hasn't
    worn off, Miss Koizumi.
[05:20] ---
    Circle up! Circle up!
[05:24] ---
    His sprained ankle is better and
    he's at the top of his game!
[05:27] ---
    The Basketball Inter-High
    match is coming up as well.
[05:29] ---
    He seems to be very inspired by that.
[05:31] ---
    But I can't help but forget...
[05:33] ---
    Just for your information,
    pal, I'M the guy she likes!
[05:36] ---
    She doesn't like you in the slightest!
[05:40] ---
    Probably not...
[05:43] ---
    ...Jealousy?
[05:47] ---
    Risa, what's on your mind?
[05:49] ---
    Hey, hey, hey!
[05:51] ---
    Stop it.
[05:52] ---
    I've gotta stop it!
[05:55] ---
    I won't embrace false hope.
[05:57] ---
    We're back to normal! Back to normal.
[06:02] ---
    Say, Risa...What are you gonna do now?
[06:09] ---
    What can I do?
[06:12] ---
    - Hi there.
    - Darling!
[06:14] ---
    - That hurt, pal!
[06:14] ---
    - Nokuko! Darling! Nobuko!
[06:15] ---
    - Ya didn't have to hit me!
[06:18] ---
    - Yes, yes, my apologies.
[06:25] ---
    What the hell was THAT for?!
[06:27] ---
    Oh, my deepest apologies.
[06:29] ---
    My darn legs are too long...
[06:32] ---
    You're getting slapped, bitch.
[06:33] ---
    Come back here!
[06:38] ---
    You're not getting away with this!
[06:40] ---
    It's slapping time!
[06:41] ---
    Is Risa really okay with
    things going back to normal?
[07:04] ---
    Hey, will the basketball match
    be on Saturday and Sunday?
[07:07] ---
    Yeah.
[07:08] ---
    Maybe I should go check it out.
[07:09] ---
    Jeez, you've got no life.
[07:10] ---
    I've made peace with that.
[07:12] ---
    Got it! I'll make ya that "thing".
[07:15] ---
    What "thing"?
[07:16] ---
    Ya know, that cute little snack managers
    and the like bring to their players.
[07:21] ---
    Soy sauced lemons!
[07:23] ---
    How would that even taste?
[07:25] ---
    Am I wrong?
[07:27] ---
    Rice vinegar'ed lemons!
SIGN    pewwwww
[07:28] ---
    That would be BEYOND sour!
[07:31] ---
    Stay away. Just stay away.
[07:33] ---
    But why?
[07:34] ---
    I'm just trying to be supportive.
[07:36] ---
    If I ate that crap I'd probably die.
[07:41] ---
    Well fine, then. Fine, then.
[07:43] ---
    I'll just feed it to Mr. Maity instead.
[07:45] ---
    Moron. Coach is coming back tomorrow.
[07:48] ---
    That snob is done with basketball.
[07:50] ---
    Good riddance!
[07:54] ---
    So...he really is jealous?
[08:00] ---
    What're ya shaking your head for?
[08:02] ---
    Are you a dog or something?
[08:05] ---
    As if!
[08:07] ---
    That hurt.
[08:11] ---
    Just a suggestion, put honey on the lemons.
[08:23] ---
    That's right! It's supposed to be honey!
[08:27] ---
    That's right. It's honey.
[08:29] ---
    Don't mess it up.
[08:33] ---
    Back to normal. Back to normal.
[08:36] ---
    Did ya say something?
[08:37] ---
    Not really.
[08:38] ---
    What's up with you?
[08:39] ---
    Nothing's up.
[08:41] ---
    Honey'ed lemons, eh?
[08:43] ---
    How tangy.
[08:45] ---
    Awwww
[08:48] ---
    I'm sick of all this comedic duo bullshit!
[08:51] ---
    They just need to frickin'
    hook up, for god's sake!
[08:53] ---
    That's for sure.
[08:55] ---
    If only Otani would make a move.
[08:58] ---
    Tell me about it.
[08:59] ---
    Otani holds the final key
    to unlocking their romance.
[09:03] ---
    Darling, why don't you have a talk with him.
[09:05] ---
    No, I think we should leave
    this up to the young lovers.
[09:08] ---
    If we leave this up to them,
[09:09] ---
    we'll be in a nursing home
    by the time they hook up.
[09:12] ---
    That's fer shore.
[09:14] ---
    Yah.
[09:31] ---
    Pin him down.
[09:35] ---
    Pin Otani down and make him yours right now!
[09:39] ---
    If you fail to do so, then I shall!
[09:42] ---
    Why must I!
[09:43] ---
    The sight of you two makes my blood boil!
[09:45] ---
    Just hook up! Crap or get off the pot!
[09:47] ---
    Don't be crazy! It's not as easy
    as you're making it out to be.
[09:50] ---
    It is SO easy.
[09:51] ---
    No, it's not!
SIGN    Sigh
[09:56] ---
    No matter.
[09:58] ---
    I resolved not to embrace hope.
[10:00] ---
    Not embrace hope?
[10:02] ---
    But that doesn't mean you've
    GIVEN UP hope, has it?
SIGN    Bingo
[10:07] ---
    Wait a minute,
[10:08] ---
    don't tell me you're gonna sit back
    and wait until Otani asks you out?!
[10:13] ---
    That's a bit extreme...
[10:16] ---
    Yeah, but...
[10:18] ---
    It's Otani.
[10:20] ---
    Good morninnnng.
[10:23] ---
    Waiting for THAT idiot to make a move...
[10:26] ---
    is like trying to catch fish
    in a public swimming pool.
[10:29] ---
    But if you wait long enough,
    a stray koi might swim by...
[10:31] ---
    There's a pool I'd like to see.
[10:36] ---
    What's up?
[10:38] ---
    You look unusually chipper.
[10:39] ---
    They're announcing which
    teams are facing off today!
[10:42] ---
    Oh, for basketball.
[10:43] ---
    Yeah.
[10:44] ---
    It's gonna be my last high school match.
[10:47] ---
    I'm really looking forward to it!
[10:51] ---
    Hey, wanna go shopping after school?
[10:53] ---
    Sounds good.
[11:02] ---
    What if we make it to the finals?
[11:05] ---
    Like that'd ever happen.
[11:06] ---
    I'm a man who gets things done!
[11:09] ---
    Ya just might fall for me all over again!
[11:12] ---
    Just kidding!
[11:14] ---
    Are you stupid?
[11:15] ---
    Sticks and stones may break my bones!
[11:18] ---
    He really is stupid.
[11:21] ---
    That's why I can't give up on him.
[11:27] ---
    Otani...
[11:29] ---
    I think...
[11:31] ---
    I think...
[11:32] ---
    I might start embracing a
    little hope...is that okay?
[11:40] ---
    Circle up!
[11:43] ---
    Go for it...VICTORY!
[11:50] ---
    They're almost TOO energized.
[11:55] ---
    What's wrong?
[11:56] ---
    They put Darling on the
    bench, as I'd dreaded.
[11:59] ---
    But you're still gonna go
    support the team, right?
[12:01] ---
    Of course I'll go...
[12:03] ---
    Really? You're still coming?
[12:05] ---
    - Darling!- Nakao.
[12:07] ---
    Wait, what's that?
[12:08] ---
    It's the lineup of the teams.
[12:11] ---
    Lemme see, lemme see.
[12:13] ---
    You're gonna flip.
[12:16] ---
    Hey, since this is a big deal, why don't
    we get Chiharu and Suzuki to come too?
[12:21] ---
    Good idea!
[12:23] ---
    Wh-wha-wha-wha...
[12:26] ---
    WHAT????
[12:30] ---
    What was that for?
[12:33] ---
    Our school's first opponent is Kyogo,
    the team who won last year's finals.
[12:39] ---
    It's over.
[12:40] ---
    Weren't you gonna go all
    the way to the finals?
[12:43] ---
    That is impossible.
[12:44] ---
    That is impossible.
[12:45] ---
    Oh, crap. He's gone robot on us.
[12:47] ---
    Oh crap.
[12:48] ---
    - This is crap.
[12:49] ---
    - He's dead.
[12:59] ---
    Okay!
[13:00] ---
    Let's do this!
[13:08] ---
    Miss Koizumi, I wouldn't expect
    you to be the timid type.
[13:12] ---
    That's right.
[13:14] ---
    Maity is exactly right.
[13:15] ---
    I'm just scared to find out how Otani feels.
[13:20] ---
    Just a suggestion, put honey on the lemons.
[13:24] ---
    If I keep...
[13:27] ---
    If I keep pretending everything's fine,
[13:29] ---
    If I keep doing nothing,
[13:31] ---
    I'm sure I'll regret it.
[13:33] ---
    It shouldn't matter how Otani feels about me.
[13:37] ---
    So that's why...
[13:49] ---
    She's late.
[13:51] ---
    I wonder what's keeping Risa?
[13:53] ---
    The match is about to start.
[13:59] ---
    Good morning.
[14:00] ---
    What's your problem!
[14:01] ---
    It's too early in the
    morning for a heart attack!
[14:03] ---
    What's wrong? You look exhausted.
[14:06] ---
    I spent all night making cheerleading goods.

    He met the team he's up against
    and got scared out of his mind.
[15:20] ---
    Then he wandered off somewhere.
[15:23] ---
    But isn't the match about to start?
[15:25] ---
    In theory, yes...

    Ah, no prob. I'll go find him.

[19:51] ---

[19:52] ---
    Mirin??
[19:54] ---
    We were out of honey.
[19:57] ---
    Good thing I didn't eat
    these before the match.
[19:59] ---
    Ungrateful brat! I stayed
    up all night to make that!
[20:09] ---
    Thanks.
[20:12] ---
    Well, I feel bad losing after
    all the support you gave me.
[20:16] ---
    Yeah, but...
[20:18] ---
    You looked really cool.
[20:20] ---
    Oh, really.
[20:22] ---
    I fell for you again.
[20:28] ---
    You helped me play my best.
[20:31] ---
    Oh, really.
[20:33] ---
    Yeah.
[20:43] ---
    Hey...
[20:44] ---
    You said you were gonna stop liking me.
[20:48] ---
    Don't stop.
[21:00] ---
    I guess I should've noticed sooner...
[21:03] ---
    But... I think I need you in my life.
[21:17] ---
    Listen, won't ya?
[21:30] ---
    Well, that's okay.

[21:50] [SONG] ---
    The setting sun hurries for the distant sky
[21:55] [SONG] ---
    It pauses for a moment and
    shows me pastel colored dreams
[22:00] [SONG] ---
    Alone, I cannot shine. Neither can I be hurt.
[22:05] [SONG] ---
    I realize that love is something
    that must be shared.
[22:10] [SONG] ---
    Why am I here? Why are you with me?
[22:15] [SONG] ---
    Why am I here? Why are you laughing with me?
[22:20] [SONG] ---
    Always and forever, I want to stay like this.
[22:33] [SONG] ---
    In the moment my heart begins to dance,
[22:36] [SONG] ---
    Echoing voices embrace us.
[22:43] [SONG] ---
    The pounding of your heart
    reaches my fingertips.
[22:46] [SONG] ---
    And it is so warm; unbelievably warm.
[23:06] ---
    Koizumi, what do ya want for your birthday?
[23:08] ---
    I don't need a pretty ring
    or anything like that.
[23:10] ---
    What I want is your love, Otani!
[23:12] ---
    That's not for sale!
