[00:06] ---
    Komachi, what are you taking pictures of?
[00:09] ---
    Akihabara!
[00:11] ---
    I know that. I'm asking you what exactly
    in Akihabara are you taking pictures of!
[00:17] ---
    There's nothing really interesting.
    They're the same ol' buildings.
[00:22] ---
    That's not true!
[00:25] ---
    Look.
[00:28] ---
    See? If you look closely,
    there are remnants of old Akihabara.

[00:34] ---
    Old Akihabara...
[00:37] ---
    The owner once told me that there were
    anime and game shops everywhere in Akihabara.
[00:43] ---
    That sounds like a dream city. Oh no!
[00:46] ---
    Huh?
[00:48] ---
    Oh my God, what in the world is going on?!
[00:54] ---
    H-hey!
[00:55] ---
    Wait, Kaoruko!
    H-hey!
[00:56] ---
    Wait, Kaoruko!
[01:04] ---
    So this is the next target...
[01:08] ---
    Hmm? I see...
[01:11] ---
    This show is a world-famous anime.
    This is gonna be interesting.

    IS IT TRUE?! FINAL BATTLE IN AKIHABARA!
[03:01] ---
    You're closing too?
[03:02] ---
    Closed
    for business
[03:02] ---
    Owner! What's going on?!
[03:05] ---
    Well, things happened...
[03:07] ---
    Could it be because I bought all the dating sims
    at your shop before?
[03:12] ---
    No, no. That's not the reason.
[03:14] ---
    I can't run a business if there
    are no customers. That's all.
[03:19] ---
    Closed
    for business
SIGN    Now planning a new event. We're looking for ideas.
[03:24] ---
    Another shop gone...
[03:30] ---
    We've been busting our butts to fight the viruses
    but the stores keep going out of business.
[03:35] ---
    Is it because people's
    memories are disappearing?
[03:39] ---
    Akihabara is like a symbol of people's memories
    for anime, manga and games.
[03:44] ---
    At this rate, the world
    will become like this city.
[03:48] ---
    Oh no...
[03:52] ---
    One day... will it go back
    to the old city, I wonder?
[03:57] ---
    Yes it will! We'll bring it back!
[04:01] ---
    We're fighting to bring
    back people's memories!
[04:06] ---
    Kaoruko...
[04:08] ---
    Kaoruko, well said!
[04:10] ---
    You're right. We shouldn't
    be the ones to give up.
[04:14] ---
    One day, we'll beat all the viruses
    and bring the world back to normal!
[04:19] ---
    Yes!
[04:20] ---
    That's the spirit, guys!
[04:24] ---
    Closed
    for business
[04:24] ---
    We will... for sure.
[04:29] ---
    Neon Nova
[04:30] ---
    What's that?
[04:33] ---
    That's a very strong virus reaction!
    It doesn't look like as usual!
[04:37] ---
    Neon Nova
[04:38] ---
    "Neon Nova Exceed"?
[04:41] ---
    I feel like I've heard the title before.
[04:43] ---
    Of course you have. Exceed brought about
    a social phenomenon 20 years ago.
[04:50] ---
    It's a world-class blockbuster anime!
[04:55] ---
    Oh, I see. Did you know about it Komachi?
[04:58] ---
    No, not at all.
[05:01] ---
    I must say... you need to study more!
[05:05] ---
    All right! I will teach you
    everything about Exceed!
[05:11] ---
    Come on! Let's go!
[05:16] ---
    Is this...
[05:17] ---
    ...Akihabara?
[05:20] ---
    Yes, it is.
[05:23] ---
    "Neon Nova Exceed" is a mysterious
    robot anime in which
[05:26] ---
    characters fight their mysterious enemies
    to protect the world.
[05:29] ---
    It's a realistic drama and full of mysteries
    that created a huge buzz,
[05:32] ---
    recording mysterious
    sales all over the world.
[05:35] ---
    Too many mysteries.
[05:37] ---
    And its story takes place...
[05:39] ---
    in Akihabara.
[05:41] ---
    The one before it was infected by viruses.
[05:44] ---
    So this is it...!
[05:47] ---
    Wow! I've never seen Akihabara like this!
[05:50] ---
    Oh! Izumi!
[05:52] ---
    Look how excited she is. Such a kid.
[05:57] ---
    How about you? I bet you're
    pretty excited about it, too.
[06:02] ---
    It's all right! We don't get to come here often,
    so we should enjoy it like Izumi.
[06:08] ---
    I guess you're right. If you say so.
[06:13] ---
    Yippee!
[06:16] ---
    Guys, we didn't come here to have fun!
[06:20] ---
    But I guess they can't help it.
[06:24] ---
    A-are these all anime products?!
[06:27] ---
    So many!
[06:29] ---
    I want to buy the entire store.
[06:31] ---
    This place is amazing!
    It's all about games from the top floor to the bottom!
[06:36] ---
    And this is the No.5 Store...
    So there are four more like this? That's just awesome!
[06:41] ---
    I wish I could show this to
    the owner of Tiger's Swamp.
[06:45] ---
    Wow, this is so unreal!
[06:48] ---
    Akihabara is super cool!
[06:50] ---
    If this city really exists, all the members
    at our shop would go crazy too.
[06:54] ---
    Remember what Nejiusa told us?
    Akihabara is like a symbol of memories.
[06:59] ---
    So this is the real Akihabara...
[07:07] ---
    TYPE 1
    ALERT ISSUED
[07:08] ---
    TYPE 1
    ALERT ISSUED
[07:09] ---

    ALERT ISSUED
[07:10] ---
    TYPE 1 ALERT ISSUED
[07:19] ---
    Huh?!
[07:21] ---
    What's this?! What's going on?!
[07:24] ---
    Oh my God! The enemies are here!
[07:27] ---
    "Enemies"?!
[07:29] ---
    "Exceed" is an anime where people fight
    the enigmatic enemies that attack Akihabara!
[07:34] ---
    So this town is now in interception mode!
[07:36] ---
    What?!
[07:40] ---
    Whoa! Something's coming!
[07:42] ---
    Run now!
[07:45] ---
    Wait a minute! If they're the enemies of Akihabara,
    they're our enemies, too.
[07:50] ---
    We must not run! Okay?!
[07:52] ---
    Huh?
[07:53] ---
    The mother virus?!
[07:55] ---
    I-isn't it kinda bigger than usual?
[08:00] ---
    How do you do, pink girls?
[08:03] ---
    Maya?!
[08:28] ---
    You really think that's gonna
    kill the virus? No way.
[09:11] ---
    You rock! You're the best, my mother virus!
[09:18] ---
    If the enemy is a virus...
[09:20] ---
    Then it's our job to take care of it.
[09:22] ---
    Let's do this.
[09:25] ---
    I'm finally going to win
    today! Do it, little viruses!
[09:34] ---
    They're tougher than usual!
[09:39] ---
    Komachi! How dare you?!
[09:45] ---
    No way!
[09:54] ---
    No! Everyone! We can't win like this!
    We have to come up with another plan!
[10:05] ---
    Looks like the battle is over!
    Man, this feels so good!
[10:11] ---
    Everybody get away!
[10:13] ---
    B-but...
[10:14] ---
    We can't run from the viruses.
[10:26] ---
    Huh?
[10:27] ---
    H-hey! Where are you going?
    The pink girls are over there!
[10:35] ---
    Whoa! Stop now!
[10:39] ---
    Stop moving! Come on! Please!
[10:59] ---
    Could it be...?
[11:25] ---
    No... Akihabara is on fire.
[11:28] ---
    Damn... They're on a rampage.
[11:30] ---
    We have to do something fast,
    or this entire show's world will be destroyed.
[11:34] ---
    She's right! Do something fast!
[11:37] ---
    Huh?
[11:38] ---
    Maya?!
[11:40] ---
    No time to be surprised.
[11:42] ---
    You have to stop it quickly.
    It's your job, isn't it?
[11:46] ---
    What?!
[11:47] ---
    What are you talking about? You're on its side,
    so why don't you stop it yourself?
[11:52] ---
    I wouldn't be saying it if I could do that.
[11:56] ---
    I can't stop the mother virus anymore...
[11:59] ---
    WHAT?!
[12:01] ---
    The power of a virus is proportional to the amount
    of memories people have toward that show.
[12:08] ---
    "Exceed" being the world-class blockbuster anime,
    there are too many memories of it.
[12:13] ---
    So now it has too much power to contain.
[12:16] ---
    In other words, it's out of control!
[12:20] ---
    That makes sense.
[12:21] ---
    That's why these viruses
    are stronger than usual.
[12:24] ---
    Can't you do anything about it, Maya?
[12:27] ---
    I can't. That's the true
    power of the mother virus.
[12:31] ---
    It's beyond my control now.
[12:33] ---
    Why are you talking like it
    has nothing to do with you?!
[12:36] ---
    It's all your fault, you know!
[12:39] ---
    You used something you can't even control
    just to annoy people!
[12:42] ---
    You're an adult! Shame on you!
[12:46] ---
    But what could I have done?!
[12:50] ---
    I had no idea this could happen!
[12:55] ---
    Maya...
[12:58] ---
    You're too old to cry. That's not cute.
[13:01] ---
    You talk too much.
[13:03] ---
    Well, it doesn't matter.
    What we have to do stays the same.
[13:07] ---
    We have no other choice.
[13:10] ---
    Now, Maya!
[13:11] ---
    Huh?
[13:20] ---
    Whoa...!
[13:21] ---
    Akihabara in this show has turned itself
    into a city fortress to fight against the invaders.
[13:30] ---
    That's why there are arsenals like this
    everywhere in the city.
[13:35] ---
    We'll stop the little viruses.
    You stop the mother virus with this.
[13:41] ---
    It's a temporary truce.
[13:44] ---
    We should work together.
[13:57] ---
    You know I've got this.
[14:09] ---
    Is this gonna work?
[14:11] ---
    She is who she is, but we
    have to trust her for now.
[14:14] ---
    Now! We have to get the
    attention of the mother virus!
[14:28] ---
    It's still not working!
[14:30] ---
    We can't stop!
[14:32] ---
    We've gotta move fast!
[14:34] ---
    After we attack, we immediately get away!
[14:36] ---
    Maya, hurry!
[14:45] ---
    Come on, Mother Virus. Come to me...
[14:54] ---
    H-hey! Oh my God!
[14:58] ---
    No, Maya!
[15:01] ---
    That didn't work...
[15:03] ---
    She's not reliable.
[15:07] ---
    Mother Virus! Remember the
    fun times we had together!
[15:15] ---
    Now she's trying to get sympathy.
[15:18] ---
    But the mother virus is out of control.
    Would it really work?
[15:22] ---
    To bring back the allies
    who turned to enemies,
[15:25] ---
    love and friendship is
    always the best medicine!
[15:28] ---
    Is it really that easy?
[15:31] ---
    We were always together.
    Through tough times and sad times.
[15:38] ---
    You're my friend. Now and forever...
[15:44] ---
    So please! Open your eyes! I beg you!
[15:57] ---
    Just as I thought...
[15:59] ---
    A no-brainer.
[16:01] ---
    It was foolish of me to
    expect anything at all.
[16:08] ---
    Where are you going, Maya?
[16:10] ---
    We have to resort to our
    last hope! We'll use Exceed!
[16:14] ---
    Huh?!
[16:19] ---
    You mean, the humanoid fighting robot
    the main character operates?
[16:22] ---
    This is the only hope to fight
    against the mother virus!
[16:41] ---
    But Maya, how did you
    remember this secret path?
[16:46] ---
    Yeah. And that weapon from earlier.
[16:48] ---
    Were you a fan of "Exceed," Maya?
[16:51] ---
    Ba-thump!
[16:51] ---
    N-n-no way! It was just something the girls my age
    all watched. It's common sense.
[16:59] ---
    That's the wisdom of age.
[17:01] ---
    You and I need to have a long conversation.
[17:05] ---
    Uh...
[17:16] ---
    This is the place! The Exceed
    is behind that corner!
[17:20] ---
    I-it's not here!
[17:22] ---
    WHAT?!
[17:25] ---
    Exceed, mankind's last hope, is gone!
[17:29] ---
    What's going on?
[17:31] ---
    We lost, for sure.
[17:33] ---
    Huh?!
[17:38] ---
    Aren't you the developer of Exceed?!
[17:41] ---
    Where's Exceed?
[17:44] ---
    During development, some strange creatures
    with spears broke in here.
[17:48] ---
    All the other scientists
    were sent to hospitals.
[17:51] ---
    Viruses...
[17:52] ---
    You brought trouble.
[17:54] ---
    Maya!
[17:55] ---
    Like I said, they're so out
    of control I can't help it!
[17:59] ---
    Let's forget about that for now.
    What happened to Exceed?
[18:04] ---
    We have the blueprint and the facility
    to build it, but no manpower.
[18:09] ---
    At this rate, it's impossible
    to finish making Exceed.
[18:13] ---
    No...
[18:15] ---
    But you have the blueprint
    and the facility, right?
[18:18] ---
    Maybe Doc can build it.
[18:21] ---
    That Exceed...
[18:23] ---
    OH!
[18:23] ---
    That's a great idea! Saori is a genius inventor.
    She should be able to build it!
[18:30] ---
    All right! Let's go back and
    bring Doc back! Nejiusa!
[18:34] ---
    Got it!
[18:49] ---
    Kaoruko! Komachi!
[18:51] ---
    Izumi! You have to go back there alone
    and bring Saori back!
[18:57] ---
    What?!
[18:58] ---
    You go while we distract the mother virus!
[19:01] ---
    B-but...
[19:02] ---
    We won't last for too long, so hurry!
[19:06] ---
    Izumi! Hurry!
[19:09] ---
    No, I can't leave you here.
    Hang on! I'll go over there!
[19:14] ---
    Don't come!
[19:16] ---
    What?!
[19:18] ---
    If you come here, our friendship is over!
[19:21] ---
    Kaoruko...
[19:24] ---
    We're counting on you Izumi.
[19:26] ---
    Komachi.
[19:40] ---
    NOOOOOO!
[19:56] ---
    In order to beat that thing,
    we need everyone's help.
[20:00] ---
    Understood! No matter
    how strong our enemy is,
[20:03] ---
    if we bring our strengths
    together, we can win!
[20:05] ---
    I got the robot! I'll make the awesome one!
[20:11] ---
    All right then. Let's get going!
[20:14] ---
    Right!
[20:17] ---
    I'm sorry, Kaoruko and
    Komachi... I left you...
[20:23] ---
    They're meow-kay! Kaoruko and Komachi
    aren't so easily beaten.
[20:27] ---
    I know they're meow-kay!
[20:29] ---
    But...
[20:30] ---
    I know they're meow-kay, trust me!
[20:42] ---
    Get it together, Izumi!
[20:45] ---
    Kaoruko trusted you with everything!
[20:49] ---
    Why are you still crying?!
[20:52] ---
    To beat the virus, to protect
    the world of that anime...
[20:56] ---
    that's why they let you come back here!
[21:06] ---
    I'll fight! To save them!
[21:10] ---
    And to protect the show's world!
[21:17] ---
    You're finally back, Izumi.
[21:21] ---
    Okay! Let's go back there again!
[21:24] ---
    To the world of "Neon Nova Exceed"!
[21:27] ---
    Yeah!
[21:48] ---
    I won't cry anymore.
    This world and the memories of its people...
[21:52] ---
    I'll protect them all!
[21:55] ---
    Let's go, everyone!
[21:57] ---
    Yeah!
