**[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.*

**[04:12] Kazuya**
*We'll start creating new scenes!*

The Intersection of Colors #FFD900
**[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?!
**[07:21] [SONG] Insert Song**
Overflowing, overflowing
**[07:24] [SONG] Insert Song**
Perceptions and feelings
that start from zero
**[07:29] [SONG] Insert Song**
If it's vague or invisible, manipulate
the model edges and create it yourself
**[07:37] [SONG] Insert Song**
Unless we go, we will be late
**[07:43] [SONG] Insert Song**
We chase it
**[07:44] [SONG] Insert Song**

**[07:48] [SONG] Insert Song**
The afterimage of slipping

**[08:22] Jun**
Wow!
**[08:23] Jun**
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.
**[08:43] Kazuya**
Three people...
**[08:45] Kazuya**
Two are balanced types,
but the third is kind of amazing...
**[09:00] [SONG] Insert Song**
Re-make you, make you
**[09:02] [SONG] Insert Song**
Sometimes
**[09:04] [SONG] Insert Song**
You have to break something

**[09:26] Jun**
Does this mean you see something?
**[09:30] Kazuya**
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**
* Good morning.*
* I'm Yanagi Makoto of the Generals.*
**[21:52] Yanagi**
