    and everything will work out.

    Welcome!

    Welcome!
[00:33] A
    Welcome to Tingarla!
[00:56] Kuuya
    This is taking forever.
[00:58] Umi
    There are so many kinds of fish.
    That's why.
[01:12] Kukuru
    You look like you're in the
    shichi-go-san festival.
[01:14] Kai
    Shut up. So do you.
[01:16] Kukuru
    I'm surprised, though.
[01:18] Kukuru
    I didn't think you'd work at Tingarla, too.
[01:22] Kai
    Your gramps introduced me.
[01:24] Kai
    And the conditions were better
    than other places.

    Hello!

    I have high hopes for you.

    Yes, sir.

    They've got the wrong person!
[04:07] Kukuru
    I'm not in marketing!
[04:10] Kukuru
    I'm an attendant!
[04:11] Kukuru
    That director must have gotten
    his Japanese wrong!
[04:18] Karin
    Here.
[04:18] Karin
    This is your seat, Kukuru.
[04:20] Karin
    I'm in marketing, too, working on sales
    promotion and product development.
[04:25] Karin
    I look forward to working with you.
[04:28] Kukuru
    You're with me, huh?
[04:30] Karin
    I am, but we're doing different work.
[04:34] Kukuru
    Tingarla's a big aquarium.
[04:37] Kukuru
    There's more than one department.
[04:38] Kukuru
    Broadly speaking, there's the
    attendant team, the facilities team,
[04:42] ---
    and the marketing team that we're in.
[04:45] Kukuru
    Even though we're both in marketing,
    you're on projects and PR, so—
[04:49] Kukuru
    Crap, I need to get going.

    Hello.

    Are you the new hire?
[05:25] Kukuru
    Misakino Kukuru.
[05:26] Kukuru
    I look forward to working with you!
[05:28] Suwa
    Assistant Director Suwa.
[05:29] Suwa
    Since we just opened,
    we have no staff trainers.
[05:32] Suwa
    I've been assigned to instruct you.
[05:34] Suwa
    I've asked for backup, but it'll
    be just the two of us for a while.
[05:38] Suwa
    The director told me
    we'd be getting experienced, talented people.
[05:43] Suwa
    It doesn't look that way to me.
[05:47] Kukuru
    I've been an attendant—
[05:49] Suwa
    At that aquarium
    that's always been in the red?
[05:51] Suwa
    An aquarium is nothing without its guests.
[05:54] Suwa
    There's no future for a facility
    that can't operate healthily.
[05:57] Kukuru
    But Gama Gama—
[05:58] Suwa
    Became dilapidated and closed.
[06:00] Suwa
    It couldn't even pay for maintenance.
[06:04] Suwa
    Don't talk all high-and-mighty
    about the purpose of an aquarium.
[06:06] Suwa
    The attendants never shut up
    with their platitudes.
[06:12] Suwa
    Tingarla's fate rests with us,
    the marketing team.
[06:15] Kukuru
    What is this?

    Skim through it and get it in your head.
[06:19] Kukuru
    All of this?!
[06:21] Suwa
    The four objectives of an aquarium:
    species conservation,
[06:25] ---
    environmental education,
    research and investigation, recreation.
[06:30] Suwa
    You've heard that much, haven't you?
[06:32] Suwa
    Be mindful of the gap between the crises
    that the world recognizes
[06:35] ---
    and Japan's awareness in your work.
[06:37] Suwa
    Aim to create a facility that the customers
    will want to come back to again and again.
[06:41] Suwa
    That's the best thing to do for the marine life,
    and by extension, for the employees.
[06:46] Suwa
    I aspire to create the top aquarium
    in the world.
[06:54] Kukuru
    This has to be some kind of mistake!
[06:56] Kukuru
    Wasn't I hired as an attendant?
[07:01] Director
    You were the acting director.
[07:04] Director
    You'll do fine in marketing.

    Try new things!

    I can't!

    That's her.

    The granddaughter of that legend.

    One of the girls who got pulled in
    from Gama Gama.
[07:28] B
    How many of them are there?
    They practically have their own faction now.
[07:32] A
    I heard she got assigned to marketing.
[07:35] B
    She's not an attendant?
[07:37] B
    That's a surprise.

    I've been asked to give
    you a tour of the facility.
[07:55] Karin
    Come with me.
[08:02] Kukuru
    It's even bigger than
    the main tank at Gama Gama.
[08:05] Karin
    You have to get to know Tingarla
    if you're going to settle into work here.
[08:10] Karin
    Don't just stand there admiring it.
    Let's move on.
[08:52] Karin
    This is the main aquarium.
[09:06] Kukuru
    It's as if I'm in the ocean.
[09:10] Karin
    This is the aquatic animals area.

    Kukuru!
[09:17] Kukuru
    Wow!
[09:20] Kukuru
    They're so cute!
[09:25] Karin
    Jeez, Kukuru.
[09:27] Karin
    You're enjoying the aquarium
    more than anyone else here.
[09:30] Kukuru
    Sorry, I couldn't help it.
[09:32] Karin
    It's all right.
[09:33] Karin
    It's important to remember
    the customers' perspective.

    I mean, Gama Gama was loosey-goosey.

    "Loosey-goosey," huh? Nice one.

    Have Karin-chan whip you into shape.
[11:21] Karin
    That's what I hope to do.

    Don't!

    A lot of people work there.

    Not everyone gets what they want.

    You might get reassigned someday.

    Don't be so down.

    You're lucky you got the job
    you wanted, Kai.
[13:04] Kai
    Hey, Kukuru...
[13:06] Kai
    I was never interested
    in working at an aquarium.
[13:09] Kai
    But the longer I worked at yours,
    the more I started to like it.
[13:13] Kai
    Miyazawa-san was never involved
    in anything having to do with aquariums before.
[13:17] Kai
    But she was working hard for us
    at Gama Gama, wasn't she?

    Yeah.

[14:45] Kaoru
    I guess I might have seen something.

    I was too busy to check my emails.

    in the morning assembly?

    Looks like no one's heard about it.

    We can't have you telling us this
    out of nowhere.

    But it's not out of nowhere.
[15:05] Kukuru
    We sent out an email.
[15:06] Marina
    We just opened.
[15:08] Marina
    We're too busy getting used to work.
[15:11] Marina
    Maybe we should put the
    events off for a while.
[15:14] Chiyu
    I agree.
[15:15] Chiyu
    We can't have any issues arise.
[15:17] Chiyu
    Could you tell that
    to the assistant director, too?
[15:21] Kukuru
    May I go ahead with
    preparations myself, then?
[15:26] Kukuru
    I know my way around back area work.
[15:29] Kukuru
    I'll check to make sure the routes are safe
    for our guests during off-peak hours.
[15:35] Chiyu
    But it's happening this afternoon.
[15:37] Kukuru
    I'll make it happen!
[15:39] Kukuru
    I'll contact the back area staff, too.
[15:41] Kukuru
    We'll hold the rehearsal this
    afternoon, as scheduled.
[15:44] Kukuru
    We won't get in anyone's way.

    I had a change of heart
    because of what Kai said yesterday.

    about being in marketing and
    try to do the work that's in front of me.

    Everything?
[17:01] Kukuru
    Yes.

    The attendant staff seemed busy,
    so I took over.
[17:05] Kukuru
    I'm pretty familiar with the back area.
[17:08] Suwa
    And the facilities team?
[17:10] Suwa
    The customer staff?
[17:12] Kukuru
    Well...
[17:13] Suwa
    I see.
[17:15] Suwa
    You just did the work
    that you knew how to do.
[17:18] Suwa
    Is that right?
[17:20] Kukuru
    I didn't mean to...
[17:21] Suwa
    Tingarla has a lot of employees,
    unlike Gama Gama.
[17:24] Kukuru
    I'm sorry.
[17:26] Kukuru
    But the attendant staff hadn't even
    checked their emails or anything.
[17:29] Kukuru
    They seemed annoyed, so I figured
    it'd be faster to do it myself.
[17:33] Suwa
    Get off your high horse!
[17:34] Suwa
    The rehearsal is canceled.
[17:36] Suwa
    We'll reschedule.

    Yes, sir.

    Don't rely on your past experience.

    is nothing but a hindrance.

    From now on, your nickname is Plankton.

    I'll take Zooplankton,
    but not Phytoplankton!
[17:57] Suwa
    What? Say that again?
[17:59] Kukuru
    I like animal plankton like krill and stuff,
    but plant plankton just drift around! No!
[18:06] Suwa
    I don't care!
[18:09] Director
    I don't mind some ice pops at all,
    but we did get a complaint.

    Yes, sir!
[18:15] Umi
    I'll be careful.

    Um, Director?

    What is it?
[18:25] Umi
    Did you choose Misakino-san's assignment?

    Yes, I did.
[18:30] Director
    I have high hopes for Kukuru-san.
[18:33] Umi
    High hopes?

    The assistant director is very loving.
[18:38] Director
    I'm sure Kukuru-san will feel
    very much at home.

    Uh-huh...
[18:43] Chiyu
    Canceled?
[18:45] Kukuru
    I'm sorry.

    After all that big talk?
[18:49] Kukuru
    I'm sorry.
[18:51] Chiyu
    Oh, yeah. Were you the one who
    moved the styrofoam boxes in the hallway?
[18:56] Kukuru
    Yes.
[18:57] Kukuru
    It looked like they were going to get
    in the way of the behind-the-scenes tour.
[19:00] Chiyu
    I kept that there to store
    specimen bottles and cases.
[19:05] Chiyu
    It's not your business. Don't touch it.

    I'll bring them back later.
[19:10] Chiyu
    This isn't the same aquarium
    that you were messing around at before.
[19:14] Chiyu
    Get over your play-working.
[19:19] Higa
    Are they fighting again?
[19:21] Kai
    Looks like it.
[19:23] Higa
    Judging from what I've observed,
[19:25] ---
    the interpersonal relationships
    at this workplace are not good.
[19:28] Higa
    This is why I hate humans.
[19:30] Higa
    Fish are great.
[19:32] Higa
    They don't talk out of turn.
[19:35] Higa
    By the way, do you fish?
[19:37] Kai
    Yeah.
[19:39] Kai
    My parents are fishermen.
[19:42] Higa
    I think we'll get along great.
[19:50] Chiyu
    Boss, may I borrow these technical books?
[19:55] Boss
    Are you going to study them?
    Good for you.
[19:57] Chiyu
    Yes.
[19:57] Chiyu
    I'll read them at home.
[19:59] Chiyu
    I have some flexibility
    in my shifts, after all.
[20:02] B
    Don't push yourself too hard.
[20:04] Chiyu
    I'm fine!
[20:06] Chiyu
    I've always wanted this job.
[20:08] Chiyu
    So I want to learn more.
[20:15] Karin
    Want to go for dinner?
[20:17] Kukuru
    I'll go home for today.
[20:18] Kukuru
    I'm tired.
[20:20] Kukuru
    Bye.
[20:21] Kukuru
    Good work.
[20:23] Karin
    Yeah, see you tomorrow.
[20:38] Kukuru
    I'm so tired.
[20:42] Kukuru
    Everything is different from Gama Gama.
[20:47] (Flashback) Suwa
    Get off your high horse!
[20:47] (Flashback) Suwa
    Your half-assed knowledge
    is nothing but a hindrance.
[20:49] (Flashback) Suwa
    Get over your play-working.
[20:56] Kukuru
    I've been demoted
    from First Penguin to Plankton.
[21:01] Kukuru
    I have to put up with nastiness
    and do work that I don't want to do.
[21:06] Kukuru
    Is this what it means to be a grown-up?
[21:13] Kukuru
    I don't know that I can go on at Tingarla.
[21:20] Fuuka
    Are you crying?
[21:22] Kukuru
    I'm not crying.
[21:24] Kukuru
    I promised I wouldn't cry
    when I'm alone...
[21:45] Fuuka
    Long time, Kukuru!
[21:48] Kukuru
    Welcome back, Fuuka.
