[00:25] Akari
Okay, it's done.
[00:27] Naoki
Come take a look.
[01:08] Jun (young)
Wow!
[01:10] Kazuya (young)
So this is Perception Art, Dad?
[01:14] Naoki
Yeah.
[01:16] Naoki
Once you boys are older, I'm sure it'll be
able to do even more amazing things.
[01:21] Akari
Like produce sounds, smells, and warmth.
[01:25] Naoki
And a greater variety of color.
[01:29] Kazuya (young)
A greater variety of color...?
[01:32] Jun (young)
I wanna paint Perception Art too!
[01:36] Kazuya (young)
No fair! Me too!
[01:39] Kazuya (young)
Dad!
[01:40] Naoki
Honey...
[01:42] Kyo (young)
Me too.
[01:47] Kyo (young)
I want to become a Perception
Artist like you two, too!
[01:56] Kazuya (young)
I'll do the same!
[01:57] Jun (young)
Me too!
[02:03] Kazuya (young)
That's cold...
[02:30] Jun
What are you doing?
[02:32] Kazuya
Nothing. Just thinking about the past.
[02:36] Jun
Yeah?
[02:38] Jun
Well, let's go!
[02:42] Kazuya
C'mon, Jun! This is embarrassing!
[02:44] Jun
It's fine! Hurry up already!
[02:46] Kazuya
Wait up!
[02:47] Jun
Not keeping in shape, are you, Kazuya-kun?
[02:49] Kazuya
Shut up!
[02:50] Kazuya
It's been twelve years since then.
[02:55] Kazuya
Just like my dad predicted,
[02:57] Kazuya
Perception Art has evolved.
[02:59] Kazuya
It's now known as a new genre
of art called "sensation art."
[03:00] Kazuya
It's pretty empty.
[03:01] Jun
See? Good thing we ran.
[03:02] Sign
"Now"
[03:02] Sign
From the age of seeing to the age of feeling
[03:04] Sign
The best of Perception
Art education!
[03:04] Sign
All eyes are on them!
Perception Art in the spotlight
[03:09] Kazuya
It doesn't just stay on the canvas.
[03:11] Kazuya
It's art without limits.
[03:13] Kazuya
Viewers don't just see it with their eyes.
[03:16] Kazuya
They're invited into a world
with all their senses.
[03:18] Woman
Look!
[03:21] Kazuya
Perception Art is a digital art form
that leaps from the frame
[03:25] Kazuya
to meet those who come to see it.
[03:33] Kazuya
The sight I beheld that day...
[03:35] Kazuya
Now anyone can see it.

We'll start creating new scenes!

[05:53] Jun
Kyo, long time no see!
[05:56] Jun
I thought we'd see you once school started,
[05:59] Jun
but catching you hasn't been easy.
[06:01] Kyo
You're really here?
[06:02] Jun
Of course! Did you think it was a joke?
[06:11] Jun
Kazuya!
[06:13] Kazuya
U-Um...
[06:17] Kazuya
Long time no see.
[06:19] Kyo
Yeah.
[06:20] Kyo
Later.
[06:21] Kazuya
Wait! Let's talk more!
[06:26] Kyo
Stop that.
[06:28] Kyo
Hands off. What do you
think you're doing, fool?
[06:34] Kyo
You haven't changed, have you?
[06:36] Kazuya
That's not true.
[06:40] Kyo
You're still the same.
[06:42] Kyo
Exactly.
[07:03] Jun
Let's go!
[07:05] Student A
Is that a Perception Art frame?
[07:08] Student B
It's huge!
[07:09] Student C
I heard the Generals made it.
[07:13] Kazuya
The Generals?!

So this is what the great Generals can do...
[08:26] Jun
What are they like?
Kyo, have you ever met them?
[08:29] Kyo
No, not this year's.
[08:32] Jun
"Not this year's"?
[08:34] Kyo
They're just older college students
[08:36] Kyo
with enough free time on their hands that they
[08:39] Kyo
like to fool around
at the affiliated high school.
[08:41] Jun
Playing it cool, I see.

M-My bad.
[09:32] Kazuya
Kyo, I was just, uh...
[09:38] Kazuya
Hey, Kyo!
[09:43] Kyo
Do you need something?
[09:44] Kazuya
Not really, but...
[09:47] Kyo
Then don't talk to me.
[09:50] Kazuya
But...
[09:51] Kazuya
We're finally at the same school!
[09:54] Kazuya
Let's hang sometime!
[09:56] Kazuya
See you later!
[09:59] Jun
Tough luck.
[10:01] Kazuya
It was written all over his face
that I was bothering him.
[10:04] Kazuya
I can't help it.
[10:05] Jun
Come on, try harder to control yourself.
[10:08] Student
Hey, look. Why are they on this campus?
[10:11] Jun
Isn't it hard for him to be friends with us?
[10:14] Jun
He's studying to be a Grader.
[10:17] Kazuya
A Grader, huh?
[10:20] Jun
I'm sure you're already aware, but...
[10:24] Jun
In Perception Art, the Grader,
who's in charge of producing the piece,
[10:28] Sign
Grader Specialty
[10:28] Sign
Graders are the key to Perception Art's future.
[10:29] Jun
and the Artist, who creates the piece,
join forces to make unique paintings.
[10:32] Sign
Artist Specialty
[10:32] Sign
Perception Art's "colors" and "personality" depend on the Artist.
[10:35] Kazuya
I know.
[10:36] Jun
And so, here at Eisen High School's
Perception Art Department,
[10:41] Jun
we're separated
into the Grader and Artist tracks.
[10:44] Jun
And not just a little.
We're completely divided.
[10:46] Jun
The students of the two disciplines
don't get along at all.
[10:51] Kazuya
You really like making stuff
like this, don't you?
[10:54] Jun
I am an Artist, after all.
[10:57] Jun
Anyway, take a look.
[10:59] Jun
Here. This is the Artist center,
where we are now.
[11:03] Jun
The Grader center is over here.
[11:05] Kazuya
They're so far apart.
[11:07] Kazuya
No wonder we never see him.
[11:09] Jun
Even in the dorms, we're totally
separated past the entryway.
[11:13] Jun
I hear that if you don't have a
joint project class with someone,
[11:17] Jun
you never see them at all.
[11:19] Jun
By the way, first-years don't
have any of those classes!
[11:23] Kazuya
But by next year,
Kyo will have already graduated!
[11:26] Jun
That's how it is.
[11:29] Kazuya
How'd he end up on the Grader track?
[11:32] Kazuya
Kyo...
[11:34] Jun
I didn't say there's nothing you can do.
[11:36] Kazuya
Even we first-years have a chance to work
on a joint project with a Grader.
[11:43] Daiki
The Staircaser Contest, huh?
[11:46] Daiki
That takes me back.
[11:47] Daiki
Remember when that piece
we were so proud of
[11:50] Daiki
was utterly beaten by Rio-chan's?
[11:55] Yanagi
If you're going to create
something, do it in a studio.
[11:58] Yanagi
Don't leave random doodles
all over here, Daiki.
[12:01] Daiki
Don't worry. I'll erase it, Mako-chan.
[12:03] Yanagi
The Staircasers represent
the school for the year.
[12:08] Yanagi
At the Eisen Art Museum,
a symbol of our academy,
[12:11] Yanagi
their piece is displayed at the top
of the stairs, the main exhibition space.
[12:18] Yanagi
It's now our turn to judge
what piece makes it there.
[12:21] Yanagi
You can't keep acting so carefree.
[12:24] Daiki
Okay, Dad.
[12:27] Yanagi
To cut to the chase,
about pairing up the candidates...
[12:31] Yanagi
If you don't have an opinion,
I'll just do it myself,
[12:34] Yanagi
since you Artists aren't good with paperwork.
[12:40] Yanagi
How about it, Nakashizu?
[12:41] Nakashizu
The candidates this year are interesting.
[12:45] Nakashizu
One of them is from
the Yamanashi family.
[12:50] Yanagi
Yeah, looks like it.
[12:53] Nakashizu
When it first started, Perception Art
was dismissed by the art world,
[12:58] Nakashizu
but now it's properly appreciated
as an emerging art form.
[13:03] Nakashizu
The impact Perception Art has
on the senses of those who experience it
[13:07] Nakashizu
is nothing like the impact
a proper work of art should have.
[13:12] Nakashizu
The detractors' uneasiness about this
led to a period of intense protests
[13:16] Nakashizu
and ensuing tragedies.
[13:16] Sign
Yamanashi Kazuya
[13:20] Nakashizu
But with special technology
and instituted accreditation,
[13:23] Nakashizu
the art has become widely accepted.
[13:27] Nakashizu
Every year, we get more and more applicants
to the Perception Art Department,
[13:31] Nakashizu
and we're drowning in interview requests.
[13:34] Nakashizu
No doubt thanks to Director Takise,
[13:36] Nakashizu
who was key in establishing
the Perception Art Department at Eisen.
[13:41] Nakashizu
There were also the Yamanashis,
the legendary Artist couple
[13:45] Nakashizu
who were old friends of the director's.
[13:49] Sign
Yamanashi Kazuya
[13:49] Nakashizu
And now both of their sons are students
at Eisen. One is an Artist and one is a Grader.
[13:56] Nakashizu
You could say this is a year of miracles.
[14:00] Nakashizu
Now, what pairs will you choose?
[14:06] Kazuya
Ready, set—
[14:06] Jun
Ready, set—
[14:08] Jun
Whoa! Kazuya, you entered
at the top of the class?!
[14:11] Kazuya
Huh? You're third?
[14:13] Kazuya
Even though you're so bad at drawing?
[14:16] Jun
Shut up!
[14:17] Jun
Hmm, you might really be
a candidate for the Staircaser.
[14:24] Jun
From what I've heard,
[14:26] Jun
this year, they'll choose three students
from the first-year Artists.
[14:30] Kazuya
Where'd you hear that?
[14:32] Jun
From Michitaka.
[14:34] Jun
He might be absentminded, but he's
good at getting people to trust him.
[14:40] Jun
He said it's reliable intel
he got from a third-year.
[14:43] Kazuya
Wow...
[14:45] Kazuya
Wait, but what if Kyo isn't chosen?
[14:48] Jun
How can you think for a second
that Kyo won't get chosen?
[14:53] Jun
He was chosen two years ago, you know?
[14:55] Jun
As Staircaser.
[14:57] Kazuya
I know that.
[14:58] Kazuya
But the Graders are all elites!
[15:01] Kazuya
I'm starting to get worried...
[15:03] Jun
Huh?
[15:05] Kazuya
Get the thing, Jun!
[15:09] Jun
First,
[15:10] Jun
in order to get from the Artist center
to the Grader center on the hill,
[15:15] Jun
you can either take this escalator
[15:17] Jun
or follow the monorail tracks up...
[15:19] Kazuya
Hey, that's dangerous! Hey!
[15:21] Jun
till you hit the back of the center.
[15:24] Kazuya
I'll just take the escalator.
[15:27] Jun
But to use it,
[15:28] Jun
you need an authorization key
that's only issued to Grader students.
[15:33] Kazuya
Then what am I supposed to do?
[15:35] Jun
Why don't you take a shortcut?
[15:37] Kazuya
Huh?
[15:38] Jun
Here.
[15:55] Kazuya
I'll be back!
[15:56] Jun
Shee yah lahter.
[16:20] Kazuya
So this is the Grader center campus...
[16:29] Kazuya
Excuse me!
[16:31] Kazuya
Where's the third-year classroom?
[16:35] Grader A
That's...
[16:36] Grader B
He's from the Artist track!
[16:37] Grader B
There's an Artist student here!
[16:40] Grader D
An Artist student?!
[16:42] Grader A
A first-year?
[16:43] Grader C
Probably.
[16:43] Grader C
Kirinoe's coming.
[16:45] Grader B
Should we restrain him?
[16:46] Grader C
Hey, he's running!
[16:48] Grader A
After him!
[16:49] Grader A
Kirinoe'll be furious if we let him get away!
[17:06] Mashu
Hey, Artist.
[17:13] Mashu
I'm so benevolent that I'll give you
special permission to talk.
[17:19] Kazuya
Huh?
[17:22] Mashu
Who gave the likes of you permission
to set foot in the Grader center
[17:28] Mashu
with those filthy feet?
[17:37] Grader A
Is he over there?
[17:38] Grader B
I don't see him here!
[17:39] Grader A
I'll look downstairs.
[17:40] Grader C
I will too!
[17:41] Grader A?
All right, let's go!
[17:50] Kyo
What are you doing?
[17:53] Kazuya
Kyo!
[17:59] Kyo
Here.
[18:03] Kazuya
Thanks. I know class has already started.
[18:06] Kyo
It's fine. Just go.
[18:07] Kazuya
But I—
[18:08] Kyo
You don't need anything, right?
[18:10] Kazuya
That again?
[18:12] Kazuya
Do I need a reason to talk to you?
[18:14] Kazuya
We never used to be like that, you know?
[18:17] Kyo
Things have changed.
[18:22] Kazuya
Why?
[18:24] Kazuya
Because I'm an Artist and you're a Grader?
[18:28] Kyo
That's not it.
[18:29] Kazuya
Or is it because of the accident?
[18:35] Kyo
Give it up.
[18:38] Kyo
I don't want anything to do with you.
[18:43] Kazuya
Kyo?
[18:47] Kazuya
Kyo!
[18:58] Jun
Kazuya.
[19:00] Kazuya
You're still up?
[19:08] Kazuya
Jun...
[19:09] Jun
Yeah?
[19:11] Kazuya
Kyo said he wants nothing to do with me.
[19:15] Sign
Perception
Art Isn't Art!
[19:15] Kazuya
Is it because I remind him
of my mom and dad?
[19:23] Kazuya
Sorry for saying something weird.
[19:27] Jun
Well, good night.
[19:28] Kazuya
Yeah, see you tomorrow.
[19:33] Michitaka
Is Kazuya okay?
[19:35] Jun
Yeah.
[19:36] Jun
Thanks for letting me know what happened.
[19:38] Michitaka
It's fine, but I'm a little worried.
[19:42] Michitaka
I've heard that Takise-senpai
can be unfeeling.
[19:45] Jun
Despite how he is now, he used to be cute.
[19:48] Michitaka
Really?
[19:50] Jun
Kazuya will be fine.
[19:52] Jun
He's always been mentally strong.
[19:54] Jun
His parents are with him, too.
[19:56] Michitaka
But Kazuya's parents are—
[19:59] Jun
Yeah.
[20:00] Jun
Even so, they're by his side.
[20:02] Jun
He says he can feel them.
[20:05] Jun
He says that power is a gift from them.
[20:38] Kazuya
I'm fine.
[20:39] Kazuya
I'll do my best...
[20:41] Kazuya
Dad, Mom.
[20:54] Chiharu
Did you hear?
[20:56] Kyo
Hear what?
[20:57] Chiharu
That a first-year Artist snuck
onto our campus yesterday.
[21:02] Kyo
Oh?
[21:03] Chiharu
If you're gonna do it,
make sure you do it right.
[21:06] Chiharu
It'll be annoying if Kirinoe finds out.
[21:10] Kyo
They're announcing the Staircaser
candidates today, right?
[21:14] Chiharu
I think so.
[21:16] Chiharu
You're a shoo-in anyway, Takise.
[21:18] Chiharu
I mean, so am I.
[21:23] Chiharu
I wonder what Artists we'll get.
[21:26] Chiharu
I want to be paired with a first-year.
[21:29] Chiharu
I want an obedient toy.
[21:41] Kazuya
Kyo!
[21:46] Yanagi
Er, ahem.
[21:49] Yanagi
