***SIGN*** Late-Night Anime
**[00:47] Mai**
I can't wait for next season's new anime!
**[00:49] Mai**
I'd better get set up to record it right away!
**[00:51] Mai**
The channel it's on...
**[00:53] Mai**
*It's not airing in Aichi?!*
**[00:55] Na**
* In the past, Aichi was known*
* as an otaku-friendly place*
**[00:57] Na**
*that aired all of the late-night anime.*
**[00:59] Na**
*But over the years, it aired less.*
***SIGN*** Terrestrial Anime Broadcasts
***SIGN*** Tokyo
***SIGN*** Osaka
***SIGN*** Aichi
**[01:01] Na**
* In recent years, terrestrial anime*
* broadcasts in Aichi amount to less*
**[01:03] ---**
*than one third of those aired in Tokyo.*
**[01:05] Mai**
Oh, it's airing in Gifu, though.
**[01:07] Mai**
Great.
**[01:08] Na**
* But for some reason,*
* they do air in Gifu and Mie.*
**[01:11] Na**
*It's a mystery.*

**[01:16] Yanna**
Nice! I'm starvin', so maybe I'll go.
**[01:18] Yanna**
It's not in Nagoya!
**[01:20] Yanna**
But it's in Niigata and Kyoto!
**[01:22] Na**
*The people of Nagoya love all types of noodles.*
**[01:25] Na**

* pop up and disappear constantly,*
***SIGN*** Champon Hut
***SIGN*** Udon
***SIGN*** Ramen Yarou!
***SIGN*** Hakata Ramen
**[01:29] Na**
*and none of them last.*

**[01:31] Na**

**[01:37] Na**
Example 3: events.
***SIGN*** Example 3
***SIGN*** Events
**[01:39] Girl**
I guess that illustration exhibit
doesn't come to Nagoya.
**[01:41] Girl**
What? No way! That's a Nagoya skip!
**[01:46] Na**
*Yatogame-chan elegantly ignores them.*
**[01:48] Na**
*As a Nagoyan, Yatogame lives strong.*
**[01:51] Na**
*It takes more than that to faze her.*
**[01:54] Na**
*Anyway, to continue...*
**[01:55] Na**
*Events skip Nagoya because it's*
**[01:57] ---**
* just close enough to both Tokyo and Osaka*
* that attendees are split between them.*
**[02:01] Jin**
Can't people in Nagoya just
go to one or the other?
**[02:03] Na**
* This is the thinking that*
* led to this sad phenomenon.*
**[02:06] Na**
*There are many examples of the Nagoya skip*
**[02:09] ---**
* other than the late-night anime,*
* noodles, and events we've covered here.*
**[02:13] Na**
* It is a reality that torments*
* all the people of Nagoya.*
***SIGN*** Why?!
**[02:19] Girl**
They have it in Fukuoka, though...
**[02:22] Na**
*Yatogame has endured many Nagoya skips.*
**[02:24] Na**
* She thought she had developed*
* a resistance to it.*
**[02:27] Na**
*But...*
**[02:29] Na**
*She doesn't want to lose to Fukuoka.*
**[02:31] Na**
* Even if she doesn't root*
* for any teams from Nagoya,*
**[02:34] Na**
*she doesn't want the Hawks or Avispa to win.*
**[02:36] Na**
*That is the fate of the Nagoyans.*
**[02:39] Na**
* Fukuoka: as Japan's third major city,*
* it's often compared to Nagoya.*
**[02:43] Na**
* They compete in gourmet,*
* tourism, ease of living,*
