3
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,090
Why do you want to work in anime?

4
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:48,850
To help people.
To make anime that does that.

5
00:00:50,810 --> 00:00:54,810
A national university grad,
and ex-public servant.

6
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,650
Why such a drastic switch?

7
00:01:03,150 --> 00:01:06,070
Chiharu...Oji.

8
00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:12,490
To surpass the works of
Director Chiharu Oji.

9
00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:15,790
Seven years later

10
00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:20,040
"Kachang kachang,
kachang kachang..."

11
00:01:22,670 --> 00:01:26,930
"Every time I hear a train,
it comes out."

12
00:01:28,510 --> 00:01:31,180
"The sound of...home."

13

Editing studio:
P-Duck

14
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:34,850
Director.

15
00:01:37,850 --> 00:01:39,270
Director!

16
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,820
Check this.

17
00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:43,610
Sure, go ahead.

18
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,010
Do we really need this shot?

19
00:02:08,130 --> 00:02:12,550
It'll kill the tempo,
and cost to draw and shoot.

20
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,520
The schedule's a death match.
Too tight.

21
00:02:16,930 --> 00:02:18,440
Yes...

22
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:22,520
Stick to the storyboards.

23
00:02:24,570 --> 00:02:26,150
- Sure.
- No way.

24
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,110
We can't!

25
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,320
Get someone else to redo it.

26
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:32,450
- ASAP.
- What the hell?!

27
00:02:37,450 --> 00:02:41,710
I asked you about
the Animezon cover last week!

28
00:02:42,580 --> 00:02:43,540
Right, director?

29
00:02:44,670 --> 00:02:47,590
I'm leaving promotion up to you.

30
00:02:47,710 --> 00:02:50,010
You heard her.
We go with this.

31
00:02:50,130 --> 00:02:52,970
This can't go on the cover.

32
00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:55,220
Too late to say that now.

33
00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:59,180
I can't decide just looking
at a computer screen.

34
00:02:59,310 --> 00:03:01,390
Too late to say that too!

35
00:03:02,940 --> 00:03:07,360
"Sound..."
Add a star.

36
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,150
"...back."

37
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,700
- Use this then.
- Hell no.

38
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:15,580
This will be more eye-catching.

39
00:03:16,330 --> 00:03:18,790
Fine, we'll go with this. Okay?

40
00:03:18,910 --> 00:03:19,790
Yukishiro here.

41
00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:20,750
Okay?!

42
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:22,620
- Sorry I missed you.
- Wait, dammit!

43
00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:24,460
We ain't done!

44
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,460
Hey! Wait up!

45
00:03:26,590 --> 00:03:29,760
A meeting for our new project, yes.

46
00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:33,470
We'll go with this!
You okay with that?!

47
00:03:33,590 --> 00:03:36,220
Koshigaya, Koshigaya.
Relax. Okay?

48
00:03:36,350 --> 00:03:38,720
He really pisses me off...

49
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,020
Michino called him?

50
00:03:41,140 --> 00:03:46,820
He's moonlighting again. He said he
handpicked newbie Hitomi, but...

51
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:51,490
I hear he offered the job
to Michino first.

52
00:03:51,610 --> 00:03:53,660
Huh. Sounds about right.

53
00:03:56,570 --> 00:03:58,580
We could hear you.

54
00:03:59,790 --> 00:04:03,290
Hitomi, don't let him
grind you down, okay?

55
00:04:03,420 --> 00:04:07,750
Yukishiro thinks newbies
are easy to push around.

56
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:14,800
National university, ex-public servant.
He loves catchy labels like that.

57
00:04:14,930 --> 00:04:17,350
Typical ex-HR mindset.

58
00:04:18,970 --> 00:04:20,970
Don't get exploited.

59
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:33,530
Huh? He did this?
Whoa, that's nasty.

60
00:04:35,530 --> 00:04:37,280
It's all scrunched up.

61
00:04:37,740 --> 00:04:39,240
Turn it over.

62
00:04:40,660 --> 00:04:42,660
He says that's okay.

63
00:04:43,790 --> 00:04:44,960
We'll go with it.

64
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,540
What, this? Wait...

65
00:04:46,670 --> 00:04:48,330
I checked with him.

66
00:04:58,970 --> 00:05:04,560
Kayako Arishina
"Fate Front: Liddell-light" Chief Producer

67
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,020
The phone you have called is
out of range, or turned off...

68
00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:13,440
Hey there.

69
00:05:13,570 --> 00:05:14,940
Hello sir!

70
00:05:15,490 --> 00:05:18,490
Hello Mr. Taguchi!

71
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,280
Great to have you again today.

72
00:05:21,410 --> 00:05:23,450
Director Oji's away again?

73
00:05:23,620 --> 00:05:25,910
Still unwell, apparently.

74
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,210
I thought he'd quit again.

75
00:05:28,330 --> 00:05:32,050
Of course he wouldn't!
Our on-air date's soon.

76
00:05:32,170 --> 00:05:35,970
He'll come tomorrow.
No, I'll make him come.

77
00:05:36,090 --> 00:05:39,260
Says the legendary
production assistant.

78
00:05:40,050 --> 00:05:42,220
You're a trusty producer now.

79
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,850
You're in safe hands.

80
00:05:46,810 --> 00:05:47,890
Let's check it.

81
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,070
Director Oji?

82
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,610
I'm coming in. May I?

83
00:06:23,930 --> 00:06:25,640
He's gone AWOL?

84
00:06:26,890 --> 00:06:30,520
"Get back to me."
Call unanswered

85
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,150
Alright, see you tomorrow.

86
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,910
So, how's "Little Prince" Oji doing?

87
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,000
Babysitting him's tough.

88
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:54,000
He used to work for us.

89
00:06:55,250 --> 00:07:00,380
Causing trouble all over.
I regret it deeply.

90
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,430
Oh no.
It's no trouble at all.

91
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,890
The 5 pm Saturday slot's our turf.
I never thought you'd take us on.

92
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,400
Our director's a newcomer.
Please go easy on her.

93
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:21,240
Mr. Yukishiro!
About the cover...

94
00:07:21,740 --> 00:07:26,830
So, this is our newcomer director,
Hitomi Saito.

95
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,620
I'm "Fate Front: Liddell-light"
producer Arishina.

96
00:07:33,290 --> 00:07:37,800
"Liddell"? I appreciate
the talkshow with Director Oji.

97
00:07:38,420 --> 00:07:41,050
Sure.

98
00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:42,630
So?

99
00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:45,300
Oh, let's not talk here...

100
00:07:48,470 --> 00:07:49,890
Alright.

101
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,400
I hope he comes back...
Director Oji.

102
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:08,030
What do you mean?

103
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,630
I'll draw the cover.

104
00:08:20,420 --> 00:08:23,800
Animezon would surely
love it if you did.

105
00:08:23,930 --> 00:08:25,550
Absolutely not.

106
00:08:26,970 --> 00:08:31,640
Better to turn them down.
"Director Saito can't draw it."

107
00:08:32,180 --> 00:08:36,900
No time to explain now.
Get that girl to do it.

108
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:38,190
"That girl"?

109
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,360
The amazing animator
on "Summer Chorus." Her name is...

110
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,280
Kazuna Namisawa?

111
00:08:46,410 --> 00:08:51,410
Oh, with Fine Garden? She did
key animation for "Soundback."

112
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,540
I think...that was her name.
Let's get her to do the cover.

113
00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:00,880
I can't!

114
00:09:03,380 --> 00:09:08,390
R-Right now, I'm...
w-with someone special.

115
00:09:08,510 --> 00:09:09,930
A date?

116
00:09:10,180 --> 00:09:12,600
Oh, no no, not quite...

117
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,730
Then please do it.

118
00:09:15,390 --> 00:09:17,650
Your CEO agreed to it.

119
00:09:24,190 --> 00:09:26,650
Can't right now, sorry!

120
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:32,910
All okay?

121
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,870
Oh, totally.
No problem at all.

122
00:09:36,830 --> 00:09:37,960
Hey...

123
00:09:38,460 --> 00:09:39,580
Yes?

124
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,040
Are you free after this?

125
00:09:44,010 --> 00:09:46,970
There's something I want to give you.

126
00:09:53,770 --> 00:09:55,890
My company's new product.

127
00:09:56,350 --> 00:10:00,350
What do you think?
I'd really like to know.

128
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,900
Mr. Osato!

129
00:10:05,530 --> 00:10:08,740
Oh, Mr. Miyamori.
Good to see you again.

130
00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:12,280
Oh, a date?
Sorry, sorry!

131
00:10:12,410 --> 00:10:14,950
No, how could I date her?

132
00:10:15,330 --> 00:10:19,420
Don't you know her?!
She's Ms. Kazuna Namisawa!

133
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,170
Huh?! Huh?!
The amazing animator?!

134
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:26,510
The amazing Ms. Namisawa!

135
00:10:27,510 --> 00:10:33,680
Whoa! I love ep 4 of "Summer Chorus!"
Kaori washing her hands in melted snow!

136
00:10:33,810 --> 00:10:36,890
Meeting you is unbelievable!
I'm honored!

137
00:10:37,020 --> 00:10:38,850
Thank you.

138
00:10:43,230 --> 00:10:46,070
"How could I date her?"

139
00:10:52,490 --> 00:10:54,740
Er, is that work calling?

140
00:10:56,540 --> 00:11:02,290
I was asked to do an Animezon cover.
But I said no, so it's okay.

141
00:11:06,250 --> 00:11:07,630
Animezon...?

142
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,590
That's incredible!

143
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,130
Animezon?!

144
00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:18,060
This way.

145
00:11:18,140 --> 00:11:20,480
Production company:
Tokei Animation

146
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:23,600
I know, I know.
Sorry to ask so late.

147
00:11:23,730 --> 00:11:30,650
Unforgivable. I pulled all-nighters
to take this special day off, but...

148
00:11:30,780 --> 00:11:32,780
Ms. Kazuna Namisawa!

149
00:11:34,990 --> 00:11:36,870
Sorry I'm late.

150
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,080
This is "Soundback" director Saito.

151
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:48,670
You're the one?
You're their mother?

152
00:11:50,590 --> 00:11:54,800
Takaya, Towa, Mayu...
I'm a Ryu fan though. Oh!

153
00:11:54,930 --> 00:11:59,850
You're the one who gave birth to them?

154
00:12:00,180 --> 00:12:04,980
I am. Er, I'm really sorry
about today.

155
00:12:05,810 --> 00:12:10,860
I'm over it now.
This always happens to me.

156
00:12:11,690 --> 00:12:14,740
Okay, the deadline's looming, so...

157
00:12:15,490 --> 00:12:18,160
Oh, I have just one condition.

158
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,290
Time's short, and I don't have
my desk or tools.

159
00:12:23,410 --> 00:12:25,920
Credit me with a pen name.

160
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:27,880
Alright...

161
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,670
We can't do that.

162
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,050
That's the least you can do!
After you dragged me here...

163
00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:41,520
You were asked to do this
because you're Kazuna Namisawa.

164
00:12:44,190 --> 00:12:49,020
We need your name. "A 'Soundback' cover
by Kazuna Namisawa."

165
00:12:49,150 --> 00:12:53,990
In name and deed.
Please give us your name and art!

166
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,570
- He forgot her name!
- Yeah!

167
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:09,290
Oh, crap! Got it!
Okay, you got it!

168
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:16,300
The concept is Towako beside
Mayu, embracing her and yelling.

169
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,800
What is she saying?

170
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,810
Sorry?

171
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,600
Towako. What is she saying here?

172
00:13:28,730 --> 00:13:30,650
"I'll give you anything."

173
00:13:37,070 --> 00:13:38,820
Got it.

174
00:13:40,450 --> 00:13:43,120
Okay, I'll work with that.

175
00:14:13,940 --> 00:14:19,450
"Animezon: Who will
reign supreme this quarter?!"

176
00:14:22,450 --> 00:14:26,450
Anime is quintessential
Japanese entertainment.

177
00:14:27,580 --> 00:14:32,960
Its market size is 2 trillion yen,
and every quarter, 50 new shows

178
00:14:33,090 --> 00:14:36,670
are made, and are being made
at this moment.

179
00:14:38,010 --> 00:14:39,430
Thank you.

180
00:14:40,430 --> 00:14:44,930
Those who work on
the production floor battle daily

181
00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:50,640
to create the most successful,
and most supreme anime.

182
00:14:51,270 --> 00:14:55,730
They strive to reach
the highest pinnacle, which is...

183
00:14:56,530 --> 00:14:59,110
...anime supremacy!

184
00:15:01,950 --> 00:15:05,120
Storyboard photography

185
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:11,210
Animation meeting

186
00:15:20,130 --> 00:15:23,640
Line photography

187
00:15:24,050 --> 00:15:29,270
Art & CG meeting

188
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,060
Art

189
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:39,690
Finishing

190
00:15:40,110 --> 00:15:43,860
Photography

191
00:15:57,090 --> 00:15:59,840
I'd like to add more radiance here.

192
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,550
What percentage?

193
00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:04,890
Give me a specific numeral.

194
00:16:05,050 --> 00:16:10,390
Oh, don't mention numerals.
Direction is about passion. Passion.

195
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,140
Passion?

196
00:16:12,270 --> 00:16:14,150
Be more specific.

197
00:16:14,270 --> 00:16:16,480
Like I said, a deeper blue!

198
00:16:16,650 --> 00:16:19,480
Cobalt blue?
Cerulean? Aegean?

199
00:16:25,740 --> 00:16:31,000
Rush check! All staff,
come to the preview room!

200
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,040
Where's the director?

201
00:16:39,380 --> 00:16:42,340
- Leave it, she'll come.
- No sign of her.

202
00:16:46,260 --> 00:16:50,140
Hitomi Saito
"Soundback" Director

203
00:16:53,730 --> 00:16:58,650
ANIME SUPREMACY!

204
00:16:59,820 --> 00:17:04,030
Er, some changes. A train sound
instead of a temple bell.

205
00:17:04,700 --> 00:17:05,610
Next...

206
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:09,070
That's...a change to my script?

207
00:17:09,870 --> 00:17:13,620
Yes. I've changed the sucking sound.

208
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,580
A temple bell feels too old hat.

209
00:17:16,750 --> 00:17:20,380
Oh really.
Old hat? My idea?

210
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,380
Well... Nostalgia is important,

211
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,090
but our director
sees it differently...

212
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:32,470
You don't get it.
This'll have repercussions later.

213
00:17:32,930 --> 00:17:35,680
You okay with lots of corrections?

214
00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:39,150
You're behind as it is.

215
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,230
Well... We'll take that on board.

216
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,780
Stick to...the storyboards.

217
00:17:50,820 --> 00:17:52,330
Roger that!

218
00:17:54,580 --> 00:17:56,160
Okay, that's all...

219
00:17:56,290 --> 00:17:57,670
Thanks!

220
00:17:57,790 --> 00:17:59,290
Thank you.

221
00:18:06,220 --> 00:18:07,970
Thank you.

222
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,480
Excuse me, can I stay here?
For storyboarding.

223
00:18:24,110 --> 00:18:27,320
I told you.
A figure meeting from 4 pm.

224
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,320
Directors don't attend...

225
00:18:30,450 --> 00:18:34,120
Directors I work with attend.
Let's go.

226
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,840
"Osamu Yukishiro sent you a file"

227
00:18:49,010 --> 00:18:50,220
"Soundback
Merchandise proposal"

228
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:55,810
Read it before we get there.
Also, a fashion mag interview at 5 p.m.

229
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,770
A fashion mag?!

230
00:19:01,850 --> 00:19:03,440
Sorry, um...

231
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:09,110
Please show the characters
and mecha more than my face.

232
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,360
Sure! Let's do a test.

233
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:16,330
Ignore her.
She's the face of the show too.

234
00:19:16,580 --> 00:19:18,830
And she's almost cute.

235
00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:20,370
Thank you.

236
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:25,540
My looks are irrelevant.
And what does "almost cute" mean...

237
00:19:25,670 --> 00:19:31,760
We use all we have. If the show fails,
you're finished. Want to risk that?

238
00:19:35,930 --> 00:19:38,560
Good. Now...

239
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,440
Turn that frown upside down.

240
00:19:42,690 --> 00:19:44,770
Let us fix you up.

241
00:19:45,150 --> 00:19:47,480
Mr. Yukishiro!
Good to see you!

242
00:19:47,610 --> 00:19:50,190
Good to see you too!

243
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,950
Time to shoot. Let's go.

244
00:19:56,580 --> 00:19:58,540
I'm with Tokei Animation...

245
00:19:58,660 --> 00:19:59,790
Don't mind me.

246
00:20:00,450 --> 00:20:02,080
This is it.

247
00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:04,670
Yeah, great vibe.

248
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,130
"Genius director
Chiharu Oji's comeback!"

249
00:20:07,210 --> 00:20:09,250
Wow! That's wonderful!

250
00:20:10,210 --> 00:20:12,670
Director. Well done.

251
00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:17,300
I'm really sorry.
Yukishiro always pulls this crap.

252
00:20:17,510 --> 00:20:22,350
Newbies need promotion, I know.
But isn't this too much?

253
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,610
Magazines, social media,
radio, dining with sponsors...

254
00:20:27,730 --> 00:20:30,570
Forget that noise,
I want to focus.

255
00:20:30,690 --> 00:20:37,660
With that temper, you could be a news
commentator. Koshigaya, look into it.

256
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,500
This is for social media.
Smile.

257
00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:50,920
Good, good.

258
00:20:55,220 --> 00:21:00,180
We haven't heard a peep from him
for a week, correct?

259
00:21:01,970 --> 00:21:04,520
Correct. But I'll make sure...

260
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,230
A few years ago,
Director Oji pulled out of a show.

261
00:21:12,150 --> 00:21:13,150
He did.

262
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,030
If he doesn't come back,
can you handle it?

263
00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:20,580
Millions are riding on this.

264
00:21:22,370 --> 00:21:23,370
I'm aware.

265
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:29,880
Plus, we let talent go and canceled
an info show's 15-year run for this.

266
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,630
We owe their agencies
for this new anime slot!

267
00:21:34,590 --> 00:21:36,430
- I know.
- No you don't!

268
00:21:43,140 --> 00:21:46,020
"New director candidates (confidential)"

269
00:21:48,270 --> 00:21:49,770
Ms. Arishina.

270
00:21:53,030 --> 00:21:54,610
- Ms. Arishina.
- Yes!

271
00:21:54,740 --> 00:21:56,280
He'll come tomorrow...

272
00:21:58,030 --> 00:22:03,580
Er, I mean, well...
Can I help you?

273
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:08,080
This promo video.
Can't do it without the director.

274
00:22:09,750 --> 00:22:12,420
I'll play back what we've done.

275
00:22:19,550 --> 00:22:21,890
Haven't felt this way in ages.

276
00:22:23,220 --> 00:22:26,640
Desperate to know
where this story goes.

277
00:22:47,870 --> 00:22:49,580
I'll do it.

278
00:22:51,210 --> 00:22:55,460
I know this show
almost as well as the director.

279
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,140
Give it to me...
Your sound...

280
00:23:03,390 --> 00:23:04,470
I told you...

281
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,890
I told you I'll do anything!

282
00:23:07,020 --> 00:23:10,020
To get out and drive out that monster!

283
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,230
Your...sound...

284
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:15,190
Anything...

285
00:23:15,270 --> 00:23:17,780
I'll give you...anything!

286
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,740
That's not it.

287
00:23:20,740 --> 00:23:24,070
Stronger at the end.
Weaker at the start.

288
00:23:25,780 --> 00:23:29,080
Take 18.
"I'll give you anything."

289
00:23:34,460 --> 00:23:37,000
I'll give you...anything!

290
00:23:37,210 --> 00:23:38,630
That's not it.

291
00:23:39,300 --> 00:23:40,630
Um...

292
00:23:41,630 --> 00:23:45,970
Towako decides to
give her sound here, doesn't she?

293
00:23:46,510 --> 00:23:48,350
Isn't more emotion good...

294
00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:52,520
That's not Towako.
Don't act like you know.

295
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,530
Take 19.
From the same line.

296
00:24:01,530 --> 00:24:02,990
Recording.

297
00:24:07,450 --> 00:24:09,120
I'll give you...anything!

298
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,750
That's not it.

299
00:24:18,130 --> 00:24:21,550
Uh-oh, she's crying.

300
00:24:23,510 --> 00:24:25,430
Why are you crying?

301
00:24:28,970 --> 00:24:32,060
Please tell me what moved you to cry.

302
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:39,320
Break time.

303
00:24:41,150 --> 00:24:44,030
Excuse me, let's take a break.

304
00:24:49,530 --> 00:24:53,620
You might feel better
now you've spoken your mind,

305
00:24:54,580 --> 00:24:58,210
but I have to deal with it,
and I detest that.

306
00:24:58,630 --> 00:25:01,210
That's why I objected.

307
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,260
To hiring her on looks,
not talent. So...

308
00:25:05,380 --> 00:25:07,970
Yes, she's popular.
She's a draw.

309
00:25:08,390 --> 00:25:14,230
That's what we have to do
so a nobody can beat Chiharu Oji.

310
00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:18,520
Yukishiro here.

311
00:25:23,820 --> 00:25:27,860
She probably sees herself
as an idol, not an actor.

312
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,370
I think your direction
wasn't wrong at all.

313
00:25:52,930 --> 00:25:56,810
"TV network proxy war
Evening anime duel!"

314
00:26:26,380 --> 00:26:27,800
Eclairs...

315
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,340
I'm home.

316
00:27:06,130 --> 00:27:07,800
Zakuro?

317
00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:12,390
Zakuro?

318
00:27:46,380 --> 00:27:48,800
I thought Zakuro might be bored.

319
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,760
Taiyo...

320
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:52,550
Stay there!

321
00:28:05,020 --> 00:28:06,400
Here you go.

322
00:28:14,530 --> 00:28:16,240
Is this an anime?

323
00:28:16,780 --> 00:28:20,040
"Yosuga of the Light"

324
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:29,340
So Taiyo,
do you have a favorite anime?

325
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,970
Nope.

326
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,470
Don't like anime?

327
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,260
I hate it.

328
00:28:41,270 --> 00:28:42,480
Why?

329
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,730
Anime's a bunch of lies.

330
00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:53,490
Heroes aren't real. Only dumb kids
believe that stuff. Right, Zakuro?

331
00:29:19,260 --> 00:29:20,260
Take it.

332
00:29:21,470 --> 00:29:23,310
I bought a new one.

333
00:29:27,850 --> 00:29:28,770
Keep it.

334
00:29:31,150 --> 00:29:34,110
There's no magic in this world.

335
00:29:45,330 --> 00:29:47,170
Mr. Saito.

336
00:29:48,750 --> 00:29:52,880
Mr. Saito?
Mind paying us back?

337
00:29:53,420 --> 00:29:55,130
He's not here!

338
00:29:57,300 --> 00:30:00,140
No adults are here...

339
00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:08,600
So, do you watch anime?

340
00:30:13,150 --> 00:30:15,570
That's an exception.

341
00:30:19,660 --> 00:30:25,080
Tomorrow, I'll meet the person
who made it, and talk with him.

342
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,750
I'm home.

343
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,010
Huh? Taiyo? Taiyo?

344
00:30:40,890 --> 00:30:42,640
Your mom's back.

345
00:30:46,220 --> 00:30:47,980
- See you.
- See you.

346
00:30:56,570 --> 00:31:01,410
The day of the talkshow

347
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,580
"Liddell-light" "Soundback"

348
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,500
Are you nervous?

349
00:31:15,090 --> 00:31:18,090
I'm meeting Director Oji at last.

350
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,800
Don't worry. Everyone
will only look at him.

351
00:31:23,930 --> 00:31:25,510
I know that!

352
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,890
Even so,

353
00:31:29,430 --> 00:31:32,770
this is going to be superb PR.

354
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,760
He's not coming...

355
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,310
You think "people are like garbage"?

356
00:32:24,530 --> 00:32:27,530
Good to see you, Ms. Arishina.

357
00:32:46,220 --> 00:32:49,810
Screw you!
Screw you! Screw you! Screw you!

358
00:32:49,930 --> 00:32:52,060
Screw you, asshole!

359
00:32:52,930 --> 00:32:57,190
That hurt. Even my dad
never hit me before.

360
00:32:57,310 --> 00:32:58,860
Where were you?!

361
00:32:59,270 --> 00:33:00,690
Here, a souvenir.

362
00:33:08,660 --> 00:33:09,830
Hawaii?

363
00:33:09,950 --> 00:33:12,160
Yeah. Over on Kauai.

364
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:20,170
Couldn't get any work done here.
I needed a change of scenery.

365
00:33:20,380 --> 00:33:24,130
So I took a vacation-slash-
research trip.

366
00:33:24,590 --> 00:33:28,050
To Hawaii, for a week?
At a time like this?

367
00:33:28,260 --> 00:33:30,810
No, traveling took time too.

368
00:33:30,930 --> 00:33:35,600
I was only there for about five days.
No time to relax.

369
00:33:36,690 --> 00:33:38,610
You could've told me.

370
00:33:38,730 --> 00:33:41,820
Phone died at the airport.
Watching anime.

371
00:33:43,570 --> 00:33:47,070
So! So, so, so, so...
Here.

372
00:33:56,830 --> 00:33:58,920
"Episode 4 storyboards"

373
00:34:01,540 --> 00:34:06,970
Storyboards to ep 11.
I'll work on final ep ideas.

374
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,560
Okay, shall we go?

375
00:34:16,060 --> 00:34:22,190
Our spring anime festival's main event.
Genius director Chiharu Oji,

376
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,940
and newcomer director
Hitomi Saito's talkshow!

377
00:34:26,570 --> 00:34:29,570
First, let's welcome Director Saito!

378
00:34:40,500 --> 00:34:43,750
Next, Director Chiharu Oji!

379
00:34:56,810 --> 00:34:58,890
Please take your seats.

380
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:08,900
First, let's see promo videos for
their shows, and let them explain.

381
00:35:09,070 --> 00:35:11,320
Director Saito, over to you.

382
00:35:13,570 --> 00:35:15,120
Start please.

383
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,630
Er... "Soundback: The Kanade Stone"
is about...

384
00:35:24,250 --> 00:35:30,010
...a stone called Kanade that uses...
the power of memories of sounds...

385
00:35:30,590 --> 00:35:34,680
...to create a robot,
which appears in the anime.

386
00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:44,560
Hey. What is "the power of
memories of sounds," exactly?

387
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,280
Well... For example,

388
00:35:48,820 --> 00:35:55,530
the main characters hear a wind chime,
and their memories related to it

389
00:35:55,780 --> 00:35:59,910
help the Kanade Stone create a robot.

390
00:36:01,870 --> 00:36:08,420
The robot's name is Soundback.
Towako and friends pilot it in battle.

391
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:14,300
12 episodes. Look forward to seeing
other robots appearing in each ep.

392
00:36:20,020 --> 00:36:23,560
Yes, another Tokei anime
with boys and girls.

393
00:36:23,690 --> 00:36:25,980
A light, simple robot anime.

394
00:36:26,110 --> 00:36:27,770
Er, well, actually...

395
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:34,160
Next, the man you've
all been waiting for. Director Oji!

396
00:36:34,490 --> 00:36:36,280
Introduce your show.

397
00:36:38,870 --> 00:36:40,370
Director?

398
00:36:42,750 --> 00:36:45,750
Alright, let's just play the promo!

399
00:37:01,100 --> 00:37:02,520
You want it?

400
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,560
You want power?

401
00:37:11,230 --> 00:37:12,650
Power to change...

402
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,200
...your inescapable fate.

403
00:37:15,820 --> 00:37:17,950
A power only you'll have.

404
00:37:36,430 --> 00:37:42,470
Live on! Nobody can make you give up,
no one in the world, except yourself.

405
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,320
"Fate Front: Liddell-light" is a
magic girl motorbike anime.

406
00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:03,620
Heroine Juri transforms her bike
with her soul,

407
00:38:03,870 --> 00:38:05,910
and races her rivals.

408
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,670
She's 6 at first, and ages a year
with each ep, meaning...

409
00:38:10,790 --> 00:38:13,340
...she's a growing heroine.

410
00:38:23,060 --> 00:38:25,930
So, 12 different robots appear?

411
00:38:26,730 --> 00:38:27,560
Yes.

412
00:38:28,060 --> 00:38:30,230
Wow. Sounds interesting.

413
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,980
No it doesn't, it is interesting.

414
00:38:34,110 --> 00:38:37,240
Well well, wasn't that amazing?

415
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:44,080
When "Yosuga of the Light" came out,
your good looks became a hot topic!

416
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:49,790
Rumor has it you wanted your heroine
to die in the last episode...

417
00:38:50,540 --> 00:38:55,460
Yeah, but they wouldn't let me.
That's not today's topic though.

418
00:38:56,210 --> 00:38:58,340
Sure, there's much more!

419
00:38:58,470 --> 00:39:02,850
"Yosuga of the Light,"
truly changed anime, didn't it?

420
00:39:03,050 --> 00:39:10,650
It's not just for otaku and core fans,
it's for normal people. It's mainstream.

421
00:39:10,770 --> 00:39:15,780
Some are even saying,
all Japanese are otaku now!

422
00:39:16,070 --> 00:39:17,990
What are your thoughts...

423
00:39:18,110 --> 00:39:22,030
Are you kidding me?
People really say that?

424
00:39:22,620 --> 00:39:24,330
Er, yes.

425
00:39:25,580 --> 00:39:29,580
That's pretty damn condescending.
Isn't it?

426
00:39:30,830 --> 00:39:32,120
Listen.

427
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:37,420
"Normal people" don't exist.

428
00:39:38,130 --> 00:39:44,180
Also, if my work is wanted,
otaku and core fans are welcome to it.

429
00:39:44,300 --> 00:39:48,180
Once it's seen,
it belongs to the viewers.

430
00:39:51,690 --> 00:39:57,320
While normies dated and had sex,
my virginity gave me insomnia.

431
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,990
I spent my youth
jacking off to anime girls.

432
00:40:01,110 --> 00:40:06,830
But I won't let my "abnormal" youth
be called unfortunate.

433
00:40:09,450 --> 00:40:13,500
It's not depressing,
or unhappy.

434
00:40:14,290 --> 00:40:16,340
It's not escapism either.

435
00:40:17,300 --> 00:40:22,380
If people use my work
to help them survive reality,

436
00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:26,050
I love them like a brother or sister.

437
00:40:26,890 --> 00:40:28,760
Because I was like them.

438
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:35,440
Don't use unreal terms like
"normal people" and "we're all otaku."

439
00:40:36,730 --> 00:40:40,940
If I can work for people like me,
I'm happy.

440
00:40:53,870 --> 00:40:59,090
D-Director Saito, Director Oji's
"Yosuga of the Light" inspired you

441
00:40:59,210 --> 00:41:02,720
to quit being a public servant
for anime?

442
00:41:05,090 --> 00:41:06,260
Yes.

443
00:41:08,010 --> 00:41:12,390
When I was little,
anime didn't appeal to me at all.

444
00:41:12,930 --> 00:41:17,270
Girls granted magic powers
grew up in nice homes,

445
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,730
and had cute faces.
That was the message.

446
00:41:22,110 --> 00:41:26,110
But...Yosuga was different.

447
00:41:28,990 --> 00:41:32,330
Unexceptional.
Living in public housing.

448
00:41:33,620 --> 00:41:36,170
Just like me back then.

449
00:41:39,670 --> 00:41:45,680
For the first time ever,
"Yosuga" validated the life I'd lived.

450
00:41:47,930 --> 00:41:50,100
It cast a spell on me.

451
00:41:53,220 --> 00:41:55,560
I entered this industry

452
00:41:56,140 --> 00:42:00,650
to make works that cast spells
on their viewers.

453
00:42:02,980 --> 00:42:08,910
So I'm honored my work will compete
with that of my hero, Director Oji.

454
00:42:15,710 --> 00:42:17,370
Thank you.

455
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,880
But yours is competing.
Mine's the main feature.

456
00:42:23,420 --> 00:42:25,800
That's for viewers to decide.

457
00:42:27,300 --> 00:42:31,550
Good point. Let's let them decide
who the winner is.

458
00:42:34,770 --> 00:42:37,180
I won't lose!

459
00:42:39,060 --> 00:42:41,650
What was that?
Vowing victory?

460
00:42:41,770 --> 00:42:46,860
Yes. This quarter, I'll win in
the ratings and everything else,

461
00:42:47,570 --> 00:42:49,530
and reign supreme!

462
00:42:54,790 --> 00:42:58,370
Can't let a cute face
beat me at my own game.

463
00:42:58,870 --> 00:43:01,630
Sorry to do this to your debut.

464
00:43:02,710 --> 00:43:07,260
I'm sorry too.
It's your crucial comeback.

465
00:43:08,970 --> 00:43:13,510
Alright, before you do battle,
why not shake hands?

466
00:43:14,430 --> 00:43:15,720
No way.

467
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:22,810
Very well, let's have a warm round
of applause for our two guests!

468
00:43:31,820 --> 00:43:35,490
Director Saito seems like a
fierce competitor.

469
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,080
I still can't
kill my heroine in the last ep?

470
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:43,210
Sorry?

471
00:43:43,460 --> 00:43:46,300
I really want to kill her this time.

472
00:43:48,710 --> 00:43:52,130
The 5 pm slot is for children.

473
00:43:53,220 --> 00:43:58,470
Wow. So Ms. Arishina,
you'd censor content to suit a slot?

474
00:44:06,150 --> 00:44:08,070
I got carried away...

475
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,950
Your setting, Chichibu City,
wants to do a location tour.

476
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,080
Meeting at 10 am tomorrow.

477
00:44:22,210 --> 00:44:25,960
I'm devoting all my time
to beating Director Oji.

478
00:44:30,090 --> 00:44:36,180
Alright, read this by tomorrow, and
compile an A4 page of your thoughts.

479
00:44:41,060 --> 00:44:42,810
Why should I?!

480
00:44:42,940 --> 00:44:45,270
Why should I?

481
00:44:46,310 --> 00:44:47,400
Please do it!

482
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,280
Chichibu, Saitama
Animation studio: Fine Garden

483
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:54,700
We owe the city government a favor,
so our ace needs to step up.

484
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,450
Help me out.

485
00:44:56,570 --> 00:45:01,040
Whoa whoa, "help you out"
for the umpteenth time this year?

486
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,620
I'm doing "Liddell"
and "Soundback," plus,

487
00:45:04,750 --> 00:45:07,960
I did Animezon too.
That was too much...

488
00:45:08,090 --> 00:45:10,800
Please, help us out!

489
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,430
Look, look. Mr. Munemori's
pleading with you.

490
00:45:16,010 --> 00:45:19,100
Okay? Help us out, please.

491
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,310
A stamp rally?

492
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,480
So lame...

493
00:45:26,850 --> 00:45:28,810
Sorry for worrying you.

494
00:45:29,190 --> 00:45:32,900
You know, I always believed
he'd come back!

495
00:45:37,950 --> 00:45:43,870
So... Actually, I'd like to
discuss the final episode.

496
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,790
Genius Chiharu Oji.
An amazing ending, no doubt.

497
00:45:51,130 --> 00:45:53,630
Well, just for argument's sake...

498
00:45:54,630 --> 00:45:57,340
What if the heroine were to die?

499
00:46:02,260 --> 00:46:04,890
The heroine, dying.

500
00:46:06,940 --> 00:46:09,150
What's the broadcast slot?

501
00:46:11,070 --> 00:46:13,610
Saturday, from 5 pm.

502
00:46:13,730 --> 00:46:16,740
Do stars of shows in that slot die?

503
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:19,200
They don't.

504
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,330
You're so right.

505
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,040
There's your answer.

506
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,170
These are the viewing rooms.

507
00:46:35,460 --> 00:46:39,220
For "Soundback" here,
and "Liddell" there.

508
00:46:39,430 --> 00:46:41,430
At the same time?

509
00:46:41,510 --> 00:46:47,060
The day the first episodes go to air

510
00:46:47,730 --> 00:46:51,190
Do you mind?
I'm coming in.

511
00:46:56,070 --> 00:46:58,280
Great time to slack off.

512
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:19,380
"Don Quixote, Aobadai Store, Tokyo
Taste of Hawaii Macadamias"

513
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,230
You didn't go to Hawaii?

514
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:42,610
Hey! Hey! Dammit!
Why?! Who said you could come in?!

515
00:47:42,740 --> 00:47:47,830
You dumbass! This is...
an invasion of privacy! Dumbass! Die!

516
00:47:47,950 --> 00:47:49,660
Where were you then?

517
00:47:54,290 --> 00:47:57,880
A hotel.
A hotel in Tokyo!

518
00:48:00,010 --> 00:48:01,090
Why?

519
00:48:01,220 --> 00:48:02,680
Come on...

520
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:09,480
Do you know the pressure
of creating something from zero?

521
00:48:10,850 --> 00:48:12,770
It may seem easy for me,

522
00:48:13,020 --> 00:48:16,770
but presumptions like that
are pressure, stress.

523
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:23,990
Scripts and storyboards only get done
by toiling away at a desk.

524
00:48:24,490 --> 00:48:28,660
No matter how awful,
tedious, or dreary that is.

525
00:48:29,660 --> 00:48:33,710
You've got to sit and stare
at paper or a computer.

526
00:48:34,290 --> 00:48:37,130
Only writing cures writer's block.

527
00:48:37,250 --> 00:48:39,710
A break from routine? Futile.

528
00:48:41,130 --> 00:48:46,180
All you can do is keep going,
hanging on for dear life.

529
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:57,900
It's our first air date.
Let's watch together.

530
00:49:00,030 --> 00:49:02,690
My friends, hello there!

531
00:49:02,780 --> 00:49:05,240
"Soundback" invitation-only screening

532
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:10,240
I'm Aoi Mureno, who plays the
heroine, Towako. Nice to see you!

533
00:49:14,410 --> 00:49:18,500
She certainly is popular.

534
00:49:22,550 --> 00:49:25,840
Mr. Yukishiro,
how do you rate my work?

535
00:49:26,970 --> 00:49:29,970
That's a vague question.

536
00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:31,720
Is it entertaining?

537
00:49:31,890 --> 00:49:35,810
If I say it is,
will that satisfy you?

538
00:49:35,940 --> 00:49:37,400
You don't think so?

539
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:43,570
Some entertaining works bomb.
Some unentertaining works are hits.

540
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,530
Which is "Soundback"?

541
00:49:46,660 --> 00:49:52,200
I thought you were the type who
believes in their work, no matter what.

542
00:49:52,330 --> 00:49:54,580
Sorry, I'm not that type.

543
00:49:55,540 --> 00:49:58,170
- Oh, you're mad?
- I'm not mad.

544
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,260
- Where to?
- The restroom.

545
00:50:04,380 --> 00:50:06,090
It's almost time!

546
00:50:06,220 --> 00:50:07,800
Yes, I can't wait!

547
00:50:07,930 --> 00:50:10,430
Everyone, are you ready?

548
00:50:16,940 --> 00:50:19,190
10! 9!

549
00:50:19,310 --> 00:50:21,190
8! 7!

550
00:50:25,610 --> 00:50:29,360
Production company:
Studio Edge

551
00:50:30,450 --> 00:50:33,950
6! 5! 4!

552
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,250
3! 2! 1!

553
00:50:45,550 --> 00:50:47,880
Yeah! Three steps at a time!

554
00:50:48,010 --> 00:50:49,260
Two for me!

555
00:50:49,380 --> 00:50:51,260
I'm exhausted!

556
00:50:51,390 --> 00:50:53,720
You're perky in the morning.

557
00:50:53,850 --> 00:50:55,520
You did so well.

558
00:50:56,390 --> 00:50:58,310
Look, Towako.

559
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,480
Whoa, awesome!

560
00:51:03,270 --> 00:51:05,190
Tiny town.

561
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,490
I'll leave here for sure one day.

562
00:51:08,610 --> 00:51:10,450
I don't hate it here.

563
00:51:10,570 --> 00:51:13,620
Only because you're from out of town.

564
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,750
Come on, let's get moving!

565
00:51:24,420 --> 00:51:25,840
Another landslide!

566
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:27,840
Wait! For Mayu!

567
00:51:27,970 --> 00:51:29,220
Towako!

568
00:51:47,530 --> 00:51:52,110
Give it to me...
Your sound...

569
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:56,240
I told you...
I told you I'll do anything!

570
00:51:56,700 --> 00:52:00,210
To get out and drive out that monster!

571
00:52:00,540 --> 00:52:02,040
I'll do anything too!

572
00:52:02,170 --> 00:52:03,000
Me too!

573
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:04,290
- Me too!
- Me too!

574
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:07,380
Anything!

575
00:52:07,750 --> 00:52:10,510
I'll give you...anything!

576
00:52:29,570 --> 00:52:32,070
Smash it!

577
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:46,540
Looking back now,
that was only the beginning,

578
00:52:47,250 --> 00:52:49,340
of our year together.

579
00:52:51,260 --> 00:52:52,760
To be continued!

580
00:53:12,820 --> 00:53:14,910
That was the women's!

581
00:53:15,030 --> 00:53:18,410
Please hide somewhere else next time.

582
00:53:18,530 --> 00:53:22,620
Here she is!
Director Hitomi Saito!

583
00:53:22,750 --> 00:53:25,000
Over to you!
Director...

584
00:53:29,420 --> 00:53:31,420
Please say a few words.

585
00:53:32,260 --> 00:53:34,010
Er...

586
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,390
Er, well...

587
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,710
Thank you.

588
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,510
Director, well done.

589
00:54:14,630 --> 00:54:18,300
- Director, thank you! Well done!
- Thank you.

590
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:20,760
Thank you.

591
00:54:21,300 --> 00:54:23,180
Thank you!

592
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,020
- Thank you!
- Oh! You too!

593
00:54:26,230 --> 00:54:29,400
- Aoi, thanks for clapping.
- Thank you!

594
00:54:32,820 --> 00:54:35,400
- Great work.
- Same to you!

595
00:54:37,150 --> 00:54:41,320
"Ep 1 ratings bulletin.pdf"

596
00:54:51,420 --> 00:54:52,380
"Soundback!" "Liddell-light!"

597
00:54:52,460 --> 00:54:53,300
It's trending.

598
00:54:53,380 --> 00:54:55,170
- It is?
- Yeah, yeah.

599
00:55:06,140 --> 00:55:10,730
"Soundback FTW!" "Surprisingly good!"
"See Liddell?" "Oji's a god!"

600
00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:23,830
Two dueling series!

601
00:55:23,950 --> 00:55:26,790
How will their first episodes rate?

602
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,040
Both shows tie for first!

603
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:43,140
Make the saturation pop.
Increase blue by 20. Go crazy with it.

604
00:55:43,260 --> 00:55:47,600
And the particle barrage is weak.
Come on, no good. Next.

605
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:54,860
Hey, transformations are this show's
high point. Gotta be gorgeous. Next.

606
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,770
"Liddell" looks even better.

607
00:56:29,890 --> 00:56:32,980
Lots more director feedback now.

608
00:56:34,190 --> 00:56:37,650
I always knew Oji was the master.

609
00:56:46,990 --> 00:56:48,240
Hey.

610
00:56:49,330 --> 00:56:50,580
Towako.

611
00:56:54,370 --> 00:56:57,670
Are you...
hiding anything from us?

612
00:56:59,130 --> 00:57:01,920
Why would I hide anything?

613
00:57:05,390 --> 00:57:06,510
Right...

614
00:57:10,770 --> 00:57:12,520
Let's stop for now.

615
00:57:13,390 --> 00:57:15,900
Not another "Endless Eight"...

616
00:57:18,270 --> 00:57:20,110
We're in trouble.

617
00:57:21,690 --> 00:57:24,150
Okay, break time.
Let's break.

618
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,240
Let's take a break.
Back in 10 minutes.

619
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:59,560
How could he eat it before me?
I'll murder him.

620
00:57:59,730 --> 00:58:02,570
Murder who?
Want some help?

621
00:58:15,710 --> 00:58:18,460
I watched it. "Soundback."

622
00:58:21,750 --> 00:58:23,250
It was good.

623
00:58:31,100 --> 00:58:33,970
In exchange for its goodness...

624
00:58:35,100 --> 00:58:40,440
Director Saito, you don't get along
with her, right? Aoi Mureno.

625
00:58:46,030 --> 00:58:49,030
Checked her Insta and Twitter?

626
00:58:55,870 --> 00:58:59,920
Gotta open your heart,
or your Eva won't move.

627
00:59:01,420 --> 00:59:03,250
Thanks a bunch.

628
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:15,100
Excuse me, we're looking for
a place to put the stamp rally stand.

629
00:59:15,220 --> 00:59:18,350
Do you mind if we take a look around?

630
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,150
- Oh no, no.
- Really? Thank you.

631
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:27,780
Mr. Munemori.

632
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,700
What anime did you like as a kid?

633
00:59:32,820 --> 00:59:37,250
Oh, I used to watch
"Dragon Ball" and stuff,

634
00:59:37,500 --> 00:59:40,830
but I guess I preferred
playing outside.

635
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:42,750
Of course!

636
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,430
"I can't believe it."
He's a normie...

637
00:59:50,930 --> 00:59:53,140
What? Did you say something?

638
00:59:53,550 --> 00:59:55,350
No, nothing.

639
00:59:58,390 --> 01:00:00,640
Why a stamp rally?

640
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:07,980
Oh... I don't know much about anime,
so I did some research.

641
01:00:08,530 --> 01:00:12,200
Oarai Town in Ibaraki.
Hida City in Gifu.

642
01:00:12,910 --> 01:00:17,200
Inukami District in Shiga.
I went there and asked them.

643
01:00:17,330 --> 01:00:22,670
I thought we should start with
stamp rallies. They stay popular.

644
01:00:23,540 --> 01:00:25,040
Oh...

645
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:36,300
Hey! Hey!

646
01:00:36,890 --> 01:00:39,720
- Hey!
- Munemori!

647
01:00:40,180 --> 01:00:42,390
Hey, you're all there!

648
01:00:42,690 --> 01:00:45,730
You bet!
Come join us now!

649
01:00:45,860 --> 01:00:48,900
- No, I'm working!
- Damn normies...

650
01:00:50,780 --> 01:00:54,530
I've got one of those too.
See?

651
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:16,260
Episode 3
"Liddell-light" wins with a 2% lead!

652
01:01:16,340 --> 01:01:18,050
Can't beat Chiharu Oji.

653
01:01:18,180 --> 01:01:20,180
Yeah. I was gonna say.

654
01:01:20,310 --> 01:01:23,060
- "Liddell-light" crushes.
- Crushing it!

655
01:01:39,030 --> 01:01:41,910
"Soundback" is just a pale imitation.

656
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,370
It's weak, and predictable.
You get me?

657
01:02:17,410 --> 01:02:21,330
Special promo! Hello.
Burness Style. Please take one.

658
01:02:21,450 --> 01:02:24,580
"Boxing relieves stress!"

659
01:02:25,500 --> 01:02:28,630
Give it to me...
Your sound...

660
01:02:30,750 --> 01:02:32,750
I'll give you...anything!

661
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,550
"I'll fry you...anything!"

662
01:02:36,170 --> 01:02:41,260
Even tastier with fried surprise!
A "Soundback" collaboration!

663
01:02:41,390 --> 01:02:42,890
It's delicious.

664
01:02:45,350 --> 01:02:46,890
No freaking way!

665
01:02:48,940 --> 01:02:50,440
Where's Yukishiro?

666
01:02:50,810 --> 01:02:52,110
Beats me.

667
01:02:58,030 --> 01:03:04,450
So I was against it from the get-go.
A newcomer, and worse, a woman.

668
01:03:04,580 --> 01:03:06,620
She's trying hard though.

669
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:12,590
Anybody can try hard.
Gotta get results. That's a pro.

670
01:03:13,380 --> 01:03:15,130
Just second choice, huh?

671
01:03:15,250 --> 01:03:19,930
Her career's over, messing up
her big chance. Poor girl.

672
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,640
"It's tough...
but this is war."

673
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:25,930
Lieutenant!

674
01:03:26,890 --> 01:03:28,690
Good impression, right?

675
01:03:28,810 --> 01:03:30,190
I don't know...

676
01:03:31,230 --> 01:03:32,690
All of us...

677
01:03:33,770 --> 01:03:35,900
Who are we fighting?

678
01:03:39,150 --> 01:03:41,820
Hey. Towako.

679
01:03:44,370 --> 01:03:47,950
Are you...
hiding anything from us?

680
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,960
Why would I hide anything?

681
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:11,770
Episode 6
"Liddell-light" way out in front!

682
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:18,690
Games have winners and losers.
We're just sharing cards.

683
01:04:18,820 --> 01:04:22,820
So what? Why not just
hand out cards and talk?

684
01:04:24,030 --> 01:04:27,040
How's the final episode coming?

685
01:04:29,250 --> 01:04:32,290
Well, I can't decide.

686
01:04:34,630 --> 01:04:36,290
Decide what?

687
01:04:38,340 --> 01:04:40,760
How I should kill her.

688
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,800
Know any good ways to kill?
Tell me.

689
01:04:48,430 --> 01:04:50,430
Huh? That girl...

690
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,230
What? Did you see something?!

691
01:04:53,390 --> 01:04:55,350
A UFO?! A ghost?!

692
01:04:59,690 --> 01:05:03,860
Making this must've been a huge job.

693
01:05:05,570 --> 01:05:09,660
Ms. Namisawa,
may I ask you something?

694
01:05:10,290 --> 01:05:11,200
Sure.

695
01:05:11,330 --> 01:05:15,670
Well, a while back,
you used the word "normie"...

696
01:05:15,790 --> 01:05:21,380
That means people who are only
happy in reality, doesn't it?

697
01:05:22,050 --> 01:05:23,880
Only...in reality?

698
01:05:24,010 --> 01:05:29,260
You and the people here,
unlike me, have rich fantasy lives...

699
01:05:30,060 --> 01:05:31,890
Not just reality.

700
01:05:32,930 --> 01:05:37,940
I only have real life. No wonder
you think I'm ignorant, but...

701
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:42,150
I'll do what I can
to help "Soundback."

702
01:05:42,820 --> 01:05:44,070
Stop right there.

703
01:05:45,910 --> 01:05:50,580
Mr. Munemori, your definition
of "normie" is a little off.

704
01:05:51,660 --> 01:05:57,130
It's not meant to be insulting,
or self-deprecating either.

705
01:05:57,250 --> 01:06:00,340
Calling yourself that
is kinda cringey.

706
01:06:04,090 --> 01:06:08,430
Oh. Oh... Oh!
Is that right? I mean,

707
01:06:08,550 --> 01:06:12,060
I thought you meant
I'm vacant and shallow.

708
01:06:12,180 --> 01:06:13,810
You're not!

709
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,980
You're not...at all.

710
01:06:22,070 --> 01:06:27,660
That's a relief. If you don't
despise me, I'm glad.

711
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:30,410
Sure...

712
01:06:50,470 --> 01:06:52,720
Scrap this whole scene.

713
01:07:04,570 --> 01:07:05,610
For this.

714
01:07:10,660 --> 01:07:13,830
Any more and
Fine Garden will pull out.

715
01:07:21,460 --> 01:07:26,670
Impossible. No studio will agree
to make changes like this now.

716
01:07:28,340 --> 01:07:29,970
Then find a new one.

717
01:07:31,140 --> 01:07:33,220
I won't be able to!

718
01:07:33,350 --> 01:07:36,020
Then this show is over.

719
01:07:36,930 --> 01:07:41,940
No need for a final ep.
How refreshing. Nice working with you.

720
01:07:42,060 --> 01:07:43,060
Are you joking?!

721
01:07:43,190 --> 01:07:48,110
I could say the same. I thought
you were more dedicated.

722
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,860
"More"? After all I've done...

723
01:07:50,990 --> 01:07:52,990
After all I've done...

724
01:07:54,490 --> 01:07:57,660
...if I'm not satisfied,
this is over.

725
01:08:08,380 --> 01:08:11,130
Please, no more PR like this.

726
01:08:13,220 --> 01:08:15,550
Don't you want more viewers?

727
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,770
I'm saying it's not what's important.

728
01:08:19,980 --> 01:08:22,190
Oh...

729
01:08:23,940 --> 01:08:27,360
You think quality
automatically gets ratings?

730
01:08:27,480 --> 01:08:28,320
Of course.

731
01:08:28,440 --> 01:08:30,190
In an ideal world.

732
01:08:30,950 --> 01:08:34,280
Okay, what's a
ratings-getting anime to you?

733
01:08:34,410 --> 01:08:36,740
One that reaches an audience.

734
01:08:36,870 --> 01:08:42,210
Get them hooked by any means.
Quality comes second to that.

735
01:08:42,330 --> 01:08:45,040
Is "Soundback" reaching an audience?

736
01:08:45,170 --> 01:08:46,340
How would I know?

737
01:08:47,170 --> 01:08:50,510
Listen up, Director Saito.

738
01:08:52,470 --> 01:08:57,890
Reaching an audience
with an anime is no easy feat.

739
01:08:58,100 --> 01:09:02,890
If only one out of 100 attempts
succeeds, you're lucky.

740
01:09:03,730 --> 01:09:06,980
We have to waste time
on the other 99?

741
01:09:07,110 --> 01:09:09,690
That's the way I do it.

742
01:09:10,110 --> 01:09:13,030
Hi, Yukishiro here.
Thanks for calling.

743
01:09:14,030 --> 01:09:16,700
Wait. Hitomi.

744
01:09:17,070 --> 01:09:19,120
Going AWOL too?

745
01:09:20,700 --> 01:09:22,960
As if I'd do that!

746
01:09:25,670 --> 01:09:28,130
So what if I'm second choice?

747
01:09:29,130 --> 01:09:32,630
I'll beat Director Oji.
That's why I do this!

748
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,970
Why haven't you figured that out yet?!

749
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:44,480
Sorry about that.

750
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,350
Back to work.

751
01:09:50,940 --> 01:09:54,650
Why do you want to
surpass Director Oji?

752
01:09:57,820 --> 01:10:00,830
If my work can surpass his,

753
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,710
it'll reach children like I was.

754
01:10:05,710 --> 01:10:08,170
Children like you were?

755
01:10:10,090 --> 01:10:13,050
I threw away a wand.

756
01:10:15,130 --> 01:10:18,390
A magic wand
that a friend gave me

757
01:10:19,050 --> 01:10:21,310
when I was a child.

758
01:10:23,430 --> 01:10:26,140
I thought magic wasn't real.

759
01:10:28,350 --> 01:10:32,270
But...Director Oji made me realize.

760
01:10:33,610 --> 01:10:37,360
Magic might not be real,
but anime,

761
01:10:37,950 --> 01:10:41,080
it has a power greater than magic.

762
01:10:42,370 --> 01:10:44,870
That's why I came here.

763
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,110
No no no no...

764
01:11:13,230 --> 01:11:14,730
Oh no!

765
01:11:15,820 --> 01:11:17,990
Turn on! Turn on!

766
01:11:49,770 --> 01:11:54,980
"Boxing relieves stress!
Free trial"

767
01:12:53,670 --> 01:12:55,670
Baths are the soul's...

768
01:12:55,790 --> 01:12:58,250
...laundry.

769
01:13:08,100 --> 01:13:10,560
You're an amazing puncher.

770
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:20,730
Dezaki direction?

771
01:13:20,860 --> 01:13:22,860
Oh, you get it?

772
01:13:28,780 --> 01:13:30,790
Director Saito.

773
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:36,500
Director Oji's "Yosuga"
made you join the industry, right?

774
01:13:37,130 --> 01:13:39,750
Yes, seven years ago.

775
01:13:40,750 --> 01:13:42,800
Seven years ago, huh...

776
01:13:45,050 --> 01:13:47,890
I discovered "Yosuga" by chance.

777
01:13:49,010 --> 01:13:52,520
If I'd seen it when I was little,

778
01:13:52,890 --> 01:13:56,560
my life would've grown
by centimeters...

779
01:13:57,060 --> 01:14:00,320
No, only millimeters maybe...

780
01:14:00,650 --> 01:14:06,070
I know my life would have
grown richer, faster.

781
01:14:09,030 --> 01:14:10,700
I was the same.

782
01:14:12,410 --> 01:14:16,040
I was already doing this job then,

783
01:14:16,580 --> 01:14:19,590
but "Yosuga" changed the way I felt.

784
01:14:22,380 --> 01:14:27,640
From then on, working with Director Oji
became my longheld dream.

785
01:14:32,430 --> 01:14:34,520
But when it came true...

786
01:14:38,020 --> 01:14:39,860
I know the feeling.

787
01:14:41,980 --> 01:14:45,240
Still, you directors
are awe-inspiring.

788
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:49,620
You create whole worlds,
like gods.

789
01:14:54,660 --> 01:14:59,000
Novice and veteran directors
fight the same battle.

790
01:15:00,250 --> 01:15:03,500
If Director Oji is
sacrificing his soul,

791
01:15:03,630 --> 01:15:09,640
I have to sacrifice my soul,
my body, and my sleeping hours.

792
01:15:12,850 --> 01:15:14,850
If I lose this battle,

793
01:15:15,470 --> 01:15:19,600
this might be the last anime
I ever make.

794
01:15:22,940 --> 01:15:24,690
It's my last chance.

795
01:15:25,650 --> 01:15:28,740
That's why I'm here,
doing this.

796
01:15:47,130 --> 01:15:50,050
Sorry, I'd better get going.

797
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:55,350
Director Saito.

798
01:15:57,730 --> 01:15:59,600
We're fighting too.

799
01:16:00,310 --> 01:16:04,820
Producers, staff, actors,
all of us...

800
01:16:08,820 --> 01:16:13,570
We want to reach an audience
as much as a director does.

801
01:16:21,710 --> 01:16:22,920
Bye.

802
01:17:02,210 --> 01:17:05,290
"Voice actor Aoi Mureno"

803
01:17:28,690 --> 01:17:30,280
I'm begging you!

804
01:17:36,870 --> 01:17:40,040
We can't.
We've done too much already.

805
01:17:42,700 --> 01:17:47,500
Please! I don't want to regret
what we could have done!

806
01:17:49,420 --> 01:17:53,220
Oji struggled with himself
to create "Liddell."

807
01:17:54,380 --> 01:17:57,640
I want it to be perfect.
No compromises!

808
01:18:02,890 --> 01:18:04,350
I'm sorry, but...

809
01:18:04,480 --> 01:18:06,100
I'll do it.

810
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:12,110
I'll do it.

811
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:18,820
Why did you say that?

812
01:18:21,620 --> 01:18:25,620
Ever seen anyone beg like that before?

813
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:29,420
I haven't.

814
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:35,920
If a producer's that dedicated,
we have to be more dedicated.

815
01:18:38,590 --> 01:18:43,600
Enriching fantasy worlds
is our responsibility.

816
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,440
Yes ma'am.

817
01:19:07,790 --> 01:19:10,040
I'll never forget you.

818
01:19:12,630 --> 01:19:14,300
Never.

819
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:30,400
"#Chichibu In search of Towako"

820
01:19:35,980 --> 01:19:37,320
Director...

821
01:19:37,530 --> 01:19:38,900
Forgive me!

822
01:19:47,290 --> 01:19:51,170
You went to see it.
The "Soundback" location.

823
01:19:54,500 --> 01:20:01,180
You tried to find Towako's voice,
but I spoke to you that way...

824
01:20:05,510 --> 01:20:09,850
You wish your childhood self
could see it, don't you?

825
01:20:11,190 --> 01:20:13,150
You want to it to be

826
01:20:13,860 --> 01:20:18,490
an anime that children remember,
so it helps them someday.

827
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:20,900
Isn't that right?

828
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,620
Mr. Yukishiro told me.

829
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:30,960
Mr. Yukishiro?

830
01:20:32,170 --> 01:20:34,750
I think I know how you feel.

831
01:20:37,210 --> 01:20:41,340
I once found an anime like that too.

832
01:20:42,930 --> 01:20:46,300
So hey, what else
can we do, right?

833
01:20:50,930 --> 01:20:54,230
I know I was cast
to be a crowd-puller.

834
01:20:55,770 --> 01:20:56,940
So I'll...

835
01:20:59,230 --> 01:21:02,030
...be the best damn crowd-puller.

836
01:21:16,130 --> 01:21:17,840
Thanks for your work.

837
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,880
Ms. Arishina made late-night snacks.

838
01:21:22,630 --> 01:21:24,680
Just as I hoped.

839
01:21:27,350 --> 01:21:29,930
Sorry. It's the best I could do.

840
01:21:30,060 --> 01:21:31,560
It's appreciated.

841
01:21:32,180 --> 01:21:33,810
So good.

842
01:21:35,350 --> 01:21:38,020
This is the taste of a legend...

843
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:39,860
A legend?

844
01:21:40,150 --> 01:21:42,650
Kayako Arishina.
When she works,

845
01:21:42,780 --> 01:21:47,660
all work gets done, 100%.
A legendary production assistant.

846
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:51,750
Even as a producer,
she makes a mean rice ball.

847
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,420
We can't let her legend die.

848
01:21:57,830 --> 01:21:59,960
There are more left!

849
01:22:00,380 --> 01:22:01,510
So good.

850
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:41,800
You can kill her.

851
01:22:45,550 --> 01:22:48,970
Your popular heroine with many fans.

852
01:22:50,300 --> 01:22:52,560
Kill her off completely.

853
01:22:54,930 --> 01:22:57,940
Do whatever your heart desires.

854
01:23:00,110 --> 01:23:02,690
A traumatic ending's okay?

855
01:23:06,440 --> 01:23:09,360
I bet the network told you no.

856
01:23:10,620 --> 01:23:15,120
Disc and figure sales ride on
final ep quality these days.

857
01:23:15,250 --> 01:23:18,420
Without merch,
no chance of a profit.

858
01:23:18,540 --> 01:23:19,920
It's okay.

859
01:23:23,550 --> 01:23:26,380
If you have a reason to kill her.

860
01:23:28,260 --> 01:23:33,100
You're Chiharu Oji.
I know you'll have a good one.

861
01:23:35,930 --> 01:23:38,940
A reason why it has to end that way.

862
01:23:39,850 --> 01:23:43,940
Create a brilliant ending
that no one can deny.

863
01:23:47,110 --> 01:23:48,450
Give me...

864
01:23:50,660 --> 01:23:53,620
...a weapon to fight the network with.

865
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:10,880
Mind leaving me alone? Sorry.

866
01:24:27,820 --> 01:24:31,150
That's great.
Really great.

867
01:24:33,700 --> 01:24:37,410
Sorry, could you do
Towako's trademark pose?

868
01:24:38,370 --> 01:24:40,160
Her trademark pose?

869
01:24:40,410 --> 01:24:41,870
Her trademark line too.

870
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:44,000
- Trademark line?
- Just quickly.

871
01:24:45,420 --> 01:24:46,420
Okay...

872
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:48,210
You know it.

873
01:24:51,130 --> 01:24:52,550
I'll give you anything!

874
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:54,180
Whoa, great!

875
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:56,300
Thank you.

876
01:25:03,980 --> 01:25:05,560
Was he for real?

877
01:25:06,900 --> 01:25:09,780
Yukishiro gets you to do stupid stuff,

878
01:25:09,900 --> 01:25:14,070
dealing with know-nothings
like that. I pity you.

879
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:16,740
Yukishiro's a publicity hound,

880
01:25:16,870 --> 01:25:21,370
but he can't even
remember people's names.

881
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:25,710
Maybe even your name too,
Director Saito.

882
01:25:25,830 --> 01:25:28,040
That's Yukishiro for you.

883
01:25:28,460 --> 01:25:33,260
You get dragged everywhere.
I'm amazed you put up with it.

884
01:25:34,010 --> 01:25:35,510
It's necessary, no?

885
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:38,970
No, you're a woman,
so he underestimates you.

886
01:25:39,100 --> 01:25:41,310
I don't think that way.

887
01:25:41,730 --> 01:25:48,570
That's dangerous. He only cares
about exploiting you and "Soundback."

888
01:25:48,860 --> 01:25:51,360
Better watch yourself, director.

889
01:25:55,780 --> 01:26:00,790
You want to talk exploitation?
Make something worth exploiting.

890
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:08,210
I'm sure Mr. Yukishiro is
exploiting me as best he can.

891
01:26:09,340 --> 01:26:12,010
Only I can badmouth him.

892
01:26:12,510 --> 01:26:17,590
It's me who's dragged around most,
and causing the most trouble.

893
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:22,680
But I put my trust in him,
so what else can I do?!

894
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:28,560
He doesn't remember my name?
Why would he?!

895
01:26:29,310 --> 01:26:32,320
He thinks it's not worth remembering!

896
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:39,870
When I was an episode director
and AD, he said,

897
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:44,540
"That woman's direction."
"The ep 5 girl." Like that.

898
01:26:44,660 --> 01:26:47,500
I doubt he even knew my face.

899
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:51,130
Just to have him remember my name...

900
01:26:51,290 --> 01:26:54,460
Do you know how proud that makes me?!

901
01:26:56,420 --> 01:27:01,930
He calls me "Director Saito" now.
I'm more than happy with that!

902
01:27:03,810 --> 01:27:06,140
I don't need your pity!

903
01:27:11,150 --> 01:27:13,650
So sorry I'm late.

904
01:27:14,690 --> 01:27:18,360
Mr. Negishi, Mr. Koshigaya,
thanks for attending.

905
01:27:19,860 --> 01:27:22,370
Director, did you thank them?

906
01:27:25,330 --> 01:27:28,420
Thank them,
for accompanying you.

907
01:27:32,340 --> 01:27:34,130
Thank you.

908
01:27:36,210 --> 01:27:40,510
Final episode's coming up.
Let's all make something good.

909
01:27:57,190 --> 01:27:58,450
Director.

910
01:28:22,260 --> 01:28:24,600
Director? Director?!

911
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:27,930
Hitomi?

912
01:29:02,260 --> 01:29:04,340
How are you feeling?

913
01:29:05,350 --> 01:29:07,970
I'm fine.
I'll head straight back.

914
01:29:08,100 --> 01:29:11,350
Oh, don't push yourself.
Lie back down.

915
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:21,030
After "Soundback," how long
till you quit Tokei Animation?

916
01:29:25,870 --> 01:29:29,160
You were offered
a new streaming series?

917
01:29:32,290 --> 01:29:34,750
Produced by Studio Green.

918
01:29:37,630 --> 01:29:39,630
You know about that?

919
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:44,260
I know everyone
and everything, first.

920
01:29:48,470 --> 01:29:51,140
But...I'll turn it down.

921
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:55,650
To stay at Tokei Animation.

922
01:29:57,230 --> 01:30:00,440
I want to learn more,
from you.

923
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:05,740
No.

924
01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:08,580
You should quit.

925
01:30:14,410 --> 01:30:17,710
I'm interested in
that new series too.

926
01:30:20,340 --> 01:30:25,720
You want to make anime that reaches
children like you were... Right?

927
01:30:27,220 --> 01:30:28,970
Then don't hesitate.

928
01:30:30,050 --> 01:30:31,760
Why say that?

929
01:30:32,430 --> 01:30:34,430
You said it yourself.

930
01:30:35,480 --> 01:30:39,270
Why do you want to
surpass Director Oji?

931
01:30:41,230 --> 01:30:44,070
If my work can surpass his,

932
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:48,490
it'll reach children like I was.

933
01:30:57,500 --> 01:31:02,670
However, if you quit, I have
one condition. You must adhere to it.

934
01:31:03,710 --> 01:31:04,960
What's that?

935
01:31:05,090 --> 01:31:09,640
Please, quit Tokei Animation amicably.

936
01:31:14,430 --> 01:31:17,100
Director Oji,
and many others...

937
01:31:17,810 --> 01:31:22,650
They burned bridges with the company,
then went freelance.

938
01:31:23,480 --> 01:31:28,910
So that we can work together again,
please, quit amicably.

939
01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:36,540
You want to...
work with me again?

940
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:38,620
Is that wrong?

941
01:31:40,580 --> 01:31:42,670
You have talent.

942
01:31:43,420 --> 01:31:47,760
I love that you boldly said
you want to reign supreme.

943
01:31:49,970 --> 01:31:52,430
Learn as much as you can,

944
01:31:53,010 --> 01:31:58,560
before you leave the company.
Sponsor relations, and annoying stats.

945
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:01,230
I'll teach you all I can.

946
01:32:03,480 --> 01:32:05,780
So you dragged me around...

947
01:32:12,490 --> 01:32:14,200
Let's win this.

948
01:32:16,370 --> 01:32:17,660
Absolutely.

949
01:32:24,540 --> 01:32:26,210
And one more thing.

950
01:32:29,380 --> 01:32:31,800
You seem to be mistaken.

951
01:32:33,050 --> 01:32:35,100
You weren't second choice.

952
01:32:35,930 --> 01:32:37,430
You're first choice.

953
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:54,910
Eclairs.

954
01:33:00,410 --> 01:33:02,420
None are chocolate...

955
01:33:15,850 --> 01:33:17,680
Does your stomach hurt?

956
01:33:17,930 --> 01:33:19,770
No it doesn't!

957
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:26,060
- Did I do something?
- No!

958
01:34:17,620 --> 01:34:18,950
Taiyo.

959
01:34:20,490 --> 01:34:22,410
Did something happen?

960
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:24,290
Not really.

961
01:34:38,510 --> 01:34:39,890
Taiyo.

962
01:34:43,390 --> 01:34:46,390
Are you...hungry?

963
01:34:56,820 --> 01:34:59,320
Actually, I've only got this.

964
01:35:00,990 --> 01:35:07,160
I know that. "I'll fry you
everything." I saw the commercial.

965
01:35:14,460 --> 01:35:16,130
It reached you...

966
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:34,320
This "Soundback" anime,
it's really good, so watch it.

967
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:37,990
Even starting part-way through.

968
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:40,780
It's good?

969
01:35:40,990 --> 01:35:42,370
It's good.

970
01:35:49,500 --> 01:35:50,880
Taiyo.

971
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:56,920
This world of ours
is an insensitive place.

972
01:36:00,510 --> 01:36:01,720
Even so...

973
01:36:03,890 --> 01:36:05,770
Once in a blue moon...

974
01:36:07,270 --> 01:36:09,940
...someone'll know how you feel.

975
01:36:12,150 --> 01:36:17,070
Or you'll watch something
that seems to know how you feel.

976
01:36:22,820 --> 01:36:24,160
I'll watch it.

977
01:36:32,330 --> 01:36:35,340
Kawamura! I'm sorry,
please correct this.

978
01:36:35,460 --> 01:36:36,630
Yeah, later...

979
01:36:36,750 --> 01:36:40,550
Please, please.
Please listen. Here.

980
01:36:41,010 --> 01:36:43,390
Um, this scene with Ryuichi.

981
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:45,430
I fixed it already.

982
01:36:45,550 --> 01:36:48,220
Superbly.
That was superb, but...

983
01:36:48,390 --> 01:36:50,770
Miki! Miki!

984
01:36:51,140 --> 01:36:53,650
Here, here.

985
01:36:54,610 --> 01:36:56,650
Sorry, I know you're busy.

986
01:36:56,770 --> 01:37:01,280
This scene in ep 8,
the Takaya and Ryuichi confrontation...

987
01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:04,910
Please change the station
to countryside.

988
01:37:06,410 --> 01:37:08,290
This feels a little cold.

989
01:37:08,410 --> 01:37:12,920
Ninomiya! Ninomiya, wait!
About that meeting item...

990
01:37:18,710 --> 01:37:19,960
Gimme a break...

991
01:37:20,260 --> 01:37:22,340
Aoshima!
Aoshima, wait!

992
01:37:35,980 --> 01:37:37,520
Don't you know?!

993
01:37:38,230 --> 01:37:39,650
Towako...

994
01:37:40,650 --> 01:37:44,030
...lost memories each time she fought!

995
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:51,620
Wait...

996
01:37:53,750 --> 01:37:55,420
You knew?

997
01:37:56,210 --> 01:37:58,040
From the beginning?

998
01:38:04,300 --> 01:38:08,010
She told me not to tell anybody.

999
01:38:17,730 --> 01:38:19,150
"Soundback."

1000
01:38:19,270 --> 01:38:20,820
That show yesterday?

1001
01:38:20,940 --> 01:38:21,900
- Yeah.
- I saw it!

1002
01:38:22,070 --> 01:38:24,320
The story was foreshadowed!

1003
01:38:24,450 --> 01:38:25,820
Yeah. It's amazing.

1004
01:38:25,950 --> 01:38:27,660
So amazing...

1005
01:38:27,820 --> 01:38:32,120
Excuse me. Where is the
"Soundback" capsule machine?

1006
01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:34,120
Oh. Thataway.

1007
01:38:36,710 --> 01:38:38,960
- Here.
- Thank you!

1008
01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:02,440
Ratings gap:
Ep. 6: 3.1% → Ep. 8: 1.5%

1009
01:39:06,820 --> 01:39:11,780
The enemies you fought
were versions of yourselves.

1010
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:22,500
Improve still frame layout
and compositing. Maintain quality.

1011
01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:50,030
Catching up?

1012
01:39:51,490 --> 01:39:54,120
Ep 9: 0.6% ratings gap

1013
01:40:00,750 --> 01:40:02,210
It's neck and neck!

1014
01:40:07,630 --> 01:40:12,220
I'm not afraid to fight at all.
It's just,

1015
01:40:13,430 --> 01:40:18,850
gradually forgetting
what I'm fighting for...

1016
01:40:20,350 --> 01:40:23,230
...scares me right now.

1017
01:40:24,020 --> 01:40:25,440
Towako...

1018
01:40:28,940 --> 01:40:31,030
Huh? Are you crying?

1019
01:40:34,660 --> 01:40:38,830
You know, "Soundback"
got so much better.

1020
01:40:38,950 --> 01:40:41,330
The voices sound different.

1021
01:40:41,790 --> 01:40:46,000
"Who knows what happened,
but they sure are better."

1022
01:41:16,450 --> 01:41:20,500
"Liddell-light final episode"

1023
01:41:20,580 --> 01:41:22,290
What do you think?

1024
01:41:26,710 --> 01:41:28,800
You're the only one...

1025
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:33,550
...who has the right...
to criticize it.

1026
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:46,770
You're sure about this?

1027
01:42:16,390 --> 01:42:22,060
I want it to make people feel hopeful
about themselves and the future.

1028
01:42:22,730 --> 01:42:24,230
Got it.

1029
01:42:25,690 --> 01:42:27,230
Big sis...

1030
01:42:30,650 --> 01:42:33,690
You'll forget this sound?

1031
01:42:44,410 --> 01:42:46,370
You'll forget me too?

1032
01:42:54,210 --> 01:42:56,380
I'll never forget you.

1033
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:01,220
Never.

1034
01:43:25,410 --> 01:43:32,090
"Soundback Ep 12
Towako regains all sound memories"

1035
01:43:52,020 --> 01:43:53,070
Huh?

1036
01:43:54,530 --> 01:43:57,150
I want to change the final ep.

1037
01:43:59,450 --> 01:44:03,160
I think they shouldn't
regain their sounds.

1038
01:44:04,330 --> 01:44:07,960
I wrote a new plot.
It's all in here.

1039
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:10,330
Whoa whoa whoa!

1040
01:44:10,830 --> 01:44:14,630
Are you crazy?
We can't use that ending.

1041
01:44:15,340 --> 01:44:20,090
The Kanade Stone should
help Towako regain her memories.

1042
01:44:20,260 --> 01:44:23,640
Everybody loves a tearful,
moving happy end.

1043
01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:24,600
That's...

1044
01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:29,810
Not to mention, our animators
can't make any more changes now.

1045
01:44:35,150 --> 01:44:39,650
Got that? If so,
put this thing away,

1046
01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:42,610
and stick to the storyboards.

1047
01:44:53,130 --> 01:44:54,420
Are you sure?

1048
01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:57,800
Is that what you want?

1049
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:00,670
Why ask her that?

1050
01:45:01,180 --> 01:45:05,050
You know the final ep
decides how discs sell.

1051
01:45:05,180 --> 01:45:07,510
Go for the mainstream!

1052
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:09,730
I was asking the director.

1053
01:45:13,190 --> 01:45:14,610
We're here...

1054
01:45:17,520 --> 01:45:21,360
...to turn the director's imagination
into reality.

1055
01:45:26,580 --> 01:45:28,580
Hey. Yukishiro.

1056
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:41,510
We are a major company.

1057
01:45:41,970 --> 01:45:45,340
Yeah, so we should
go all out for supremacy!

1058
01:45:45,470 --> 01:45:47,390
No, incorrect.

1059
01:45:49,060 --> 01:45:51,060
A major company should...

1060
01:45:52,140 --> 01:45:57,270
...have greater vision, and make
anime that remains relevant.

1061
01:45:58,770 --> 01:46:00,940
Creating that kind of legacy

1062
01:46:01,240 --> 01:46:04,700
is the duty of our grand old company.

1063
01:46:10,540 --> 01:46:12,160
Director Saito.

1064
01:46:15,580 --> 01:46:17,920
What will be your legacy?

1065
01:46:34,350 --> 01:46:38,940
In life, there are times when
you have to sacrifice

1066
01:46:39,440 --> 01:46:42,780
what you hold dear
to achieve something.

1067
01:46:44,570 --> 01:46:49,280
A miracle at the very end
that brings back lost sounds

1068
01:46:49,990 --> 01:46:52,580
is too contrived to believe.

1069
01:46:54,370 --> 01:46:58,210
When we lose something,
we also gain something.

1070
01:47:03,130 --> 01:47:06,130
Towako and her friends in this story

1071
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:10,600
don't need somebody else's
contrived happy end.

1072
01:47:12,220 --> 01:47:16,140
After a loss,
a happy end will be waiting.

1073
01:47:19,610 --> 01:47:22,190
It might not seem so at the time,

1074
01:47:22,940 --> 01:47:27,110
but I hope that'll be
remembered later.

1075
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:33,200
I want the final episode
to stay in someone's heart.

1076
01:47:37,250 --> 01:47:41,590
I think there's still time
to make such an ending.

1077
01:47:45,920 --> 01:47:50,720
You know...if this flops,
you won't make an anime again.

1078
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:00,230
So be it.

1079
01:48:01,310 --> 01:48:04,150
Please, let me change the ending.

1080
01:48:06,780 --> 01:48:08,070
No...

1081
01:48:09,990 --> 01:48:11,660
We will change it.

1082
01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:18,160
I think...

1083
01:48:20,370 --> 01:48:22,830
...we might be able to help.

1084
01:48:23,420 --> 01:48:24,500
Show me.

1085
01:48:36,850 --> 01:48:37,890
Well...

1086
01:48:39,020 --> 01:48:43,980
If we tweak the compositing
and backgrounds, we can use this.

1087
01:48:44,110 --> 01:48:46,730
I'll rethink the shooting script.

1088
01:48:46,860 --> 01:48:50,360
Seriously? Who's gonna
put it together?

1089
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:00,500
Ah, shit!

1090
01:49:02,370 --> 01:49:03,830
We gotta do it?

1091
01:49:17,390 --> 01:49:18,640
Yes.

1092
01:49:20,140 --> 01:49:21,390
Alright!

1093
01:49:23,480 --> 01:49:25,940
Thank you! Thank you!

1094
01:49:26,060 --> 01:49:27,900
Gotta make deadline!

1095
01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:39,750
I brought more!

1096
01:49:39,870 --> 01:49:40,700
Thanks!

1097
01:49:40,830 --> 01:49:41,960
Here you go.

1098
01:49:46,590 --> 01:49:49,300
This is a soundless world composite.

1099
01:49:49,420 --> 01:49:51,840
For Towako's face here maybe?

1100
01:49:51,970 --> 01:49:55,010
This scene needs soft light.

1101
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:05,850
I want to convey a
heartfelt internal monologue.

1102
01:50:06,810 --> 01:50:10,400
"What I care..."
"...care about..."

1103
01:50:10,530 --> 01:50:11,690
A new line here.

1104
01:50:11,820 --> 01:50:13,610
- Got it?
- Got it.

1105
01:50:14,240 --> 01:50:19,280
"While I can still remember
what I care about the most."

1106
01:50:19,790 --> 01:50:21,620
Maeyamada style.

1107
01:50:22,120 --> 01:50:27,250
After the battle, they return home.
That'll be a new scene.

1108
01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:31,590
Towako descends to Earth.
She's still airborne,

1109
01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:34,420
but she's descending.
Then,

1110
01:50:35,090 --> 01:50:39,100
they see their homes,
families, and friends,

1111
01:50:39,260 --> 01:50:42,060
get emotional,
and their eyes gleam.

1112
01:50:42,180 --> 01:50:45,270
With that shot,
"Soundback" ends.

1113
01:50:45,350 --> 01:50:46,850
"The End"

1114
01:50:48,310 --> 01:50:53,570
A lot more scenes. It'll be tough,
but let's do our best!

1115
01:50:53,780 --> 01:50:55,200
Let's do our best!

1116
01:50:55,360 --> 01:51:00,280
At last, the new storyboards!
Please come and get them!

1117
01:51:16,220 --> 01:51:19,220
0.62. No...

1118
01:51:20,010 --> 01:51:21,970
0.63 more.

1119
01:51:23,010 --> 01:51:24,270
63.

1120
01:51:26,640 --> 01:51:28,400
I like it.

1121
01:51:28,520 --> 01:51:33,150
It goes guwaaa!
Then shaaa...

1122
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:36,740
Yeah, yeah!
Guwaaa! Then shaaa...

1123
01:51:36,860 --> 01:51:38,200
Right, right!

1124
01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:39,410
Passion! Passion!

1125
01:51:39,530 --> 01:51:40,700
Passion!

1126
01:51:41,410 --> 01:51:42,700
This color.

1127
01:51:43,870 --> 01:51:45,000
This...

1128
01:51:46,620 --> 01:51:49,420
Ah, sulphur yellow.

1129
01:51:49,880 --> 01:51:53,420
Yes! I finally got it across!

1130
01:51:57,130 --> 01:51:57,970
It's great.

1131
01:51:58,090 --> 01:51:59,430
Great.

1132
01:52:06,020 --> 01:52:11,650
The final episode's last line.
This is it.

1133
01:52:17,150 --> 01:52:19,610
Say it the way you want to.

1134
01:52:22,160 --> 01:52:23,330
Okay.

1135
01:52:25,790 --> 01:52:28,790
Final episode, rush check!

1136
01:52:30,330 --> 01:52:31,670
Let's do this!

1137
01:52:53,270 --> 01:52:57,110
The day the final episodes go to air

1138
01:53:01,530 --> 01:53:06,700
Don't do this! If you do,
your world will cease to exist!

1139
01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:13,540
Fine. It's better than losing her.

1140
01:53:14,500 --> 01:53:15,840
I'm sorry...

1141
01:53:19,010 --> 01:53:20,340
...Juri.

1142
01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:26,890
This is the end.
You'll all...die with me!

1143
01:53:30,020 --> 01:53:33,600
Juri, you have to live!

1144
01:53:40,030 --> 01:53:42,360
Oh no...
They're eating sounds?!

1145
01:53:42,820 --> 01:53:45,120
The sounds within all life.

1146
01:53:45,620 --> 01:53:50,250
Like the Kanade Stone said,
it's their source of power.

1147
01:53:56,630 --> 01:53:58,090
That can't be...

1148
01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:03,430
We can't...let them win!

1149
01:54:03,550 --> 01:54:06,050
They stole those sounds.

1150
01:54:07,350 --> 01:54:10,810
We can't lose to them!
We mustn't!

1151
01:54:10,930 --> 01:54:13,020
Stop! Towako!

1152
01:54:16,940 --> 01:54:18,730
I'll give you anything.

1153
01:54:19,440 --> 01:54:22,690
No, Towako!
If you lose any more sounds...

1154
01:54:23,110 --> 01:54:25,410
...you won't make it home!

1155
01:54:31,290 --> 01:54:36,540
Ki-yo-ra!

1156
01:54:40,800 --> 01:54:42,010
Juri!

1157
01:54:51,810 --> 01:54:53,810
I'll give you anything.

1158
01:54:56,310 --> 01:54:59,650
Whatever you want.
Take everything.

1159
01:55:01,150 --> 01:55:04,360
So...protect her.

1160
01:55:06,820 --> 01:55:10,740
While I can still remember

1161
01:55:11,660 --> 01:55:15,870
what I care about the most.

1162
01:55:27,430 --> 01:55:28,430
Please...

1163
01:55:30,180 --> 01:55:31,430
I beg you!

1164
01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:56,200
Remember what I said?

1165
01:55:57,210 --> 01:55:58,210
You know.

1166
01:56:00,420 --> 01:56:01,670
Stupid...

1167
01:56:03,590 --> 01:56:05,670
I won't leave you alone.

1168
01:56:38,910 --> 01:56:44,290
Listen up! You want us dead,
but I've got bad news for you!

1169
01:56:44,420 --> 01:56:49,170
Those days are over!
There's nothing heroic about dying!

1170
01:56:50,470 --> 01:56:52,430
Whatever I look like,

1171
01:56:53,180 --> 01:56:57,310
even if no one cares,
I'm gonna go on living!

1172
01:57:03,860 --> 01:57:08,280
You're gonna accept us.
However ugly we are,

1173
01:57:08,650 --> 01:57:11,860
take responsibility,
and love us!

1174
01:57:12,610 --> 01:57:16,280
Live on!
Nobody can make you give up...

1175
01:57:19,160 --> 01:57:21,000
...no one in the world...

1176
01:57:23,080 --> 01:57:24,750
...except yourself!

1177
01:58:00,540 --> 01:58:03,790
Towako? Towako?

1178
01:58:11,760 --> 01:58:15,090
Towako? Towako?

1179
01:58:19,060 --> 01:58:21,390
Can you hear me, Towako?

1180
01:58:22,980 --> 01:58:24,560
This is our town.

1181
01:58:25,060 --> 01:58:26,900
We've come home.

1182
01:58:32,650 --> 01:58:34,990
Big sis!

1183
01:58:36,910 --> 01:58:39,240
Big sis!

1184
01:58:41,950 --> 01:58:44,120
Hey!

1185
01:58:47,710 --> 01:58:51,210
Big sis! Towa!

1186
01:59:01,310 --> 01:59:02,770
So beautiful...

1187
01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:25,750
Please stay in...

1188
01:59:31,540 --> 01:59:33,550
...someone's heart.

1189
01:59:52,360 --> 01:59:53,690
Hey.

1190
01:59:57,240 --> 01:59:58,570
Thanks.

1191
02:00:01,910 --> 02:00:05,950
You knew, didn't you?
My reputation after "Yosuga."

1192
02:00:06,410 --> 02:00:08,540
"He's out of ideas."

1193
02:00:10,330 --> 02:00:12,590
First time I'll admit it.

1194
02:00:14,340 --> 02:00:19,470
I couldn't hack it.
Even if I got called a genius,

1195
02:00:19,680 --> 02:00:24,930
I was afraid my follow-up
would show how mediocre I am.

1196
02:00:28,100 --> 02:00:30,440
I thought I couldn't direct.

1197
02:00:36,030 --> 02:00:38,320
You're a brave one,

1198
02:00:39,200 --> 02:00:41,530
for working with me.

1199
02:00:46,240 --> 02:00:50,580
Now, let's change the subject.
Ms. Arishina, are you taken?

1200
02:00:52,210 --> 02:00:53,880
What's come over you?

1201
02:00:54,500 --> 02:00:56,550
It's a serious question.

1202
02:00:56,750 --> 02:01:01,680
Making an anime series takes
three precious years of your life.

1203
02:01:02,340 --> 02:01:05,050
Gotta take stock at your age.

1204
02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:09,060
You don't seem to have a guy,
so I'm worried.

1205
02:01:09,480 --> 02:01:11,310
None of your business.

1206
02:01:13,150 --> 02:01:15,360
I wouldn't mind marrying you.

"Ratings:

1208
02:01:49,270 --> 02:01:51,100
We came close.

1209
02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:02,700
It's not over yet.

1210
02:02:13,750 --> 02:02:18,290

1212
02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:09,930
Wow! Taiyo!

1213
02:03:12,270 --> 02:03:14,680
That's...Soundback.

1214
02:03:15,230 --> 02:03:16,890
"I'll give you anything!"

1215
02:03:17,060 --> 02:03:18,980
That's so cool!
Oh man!

1216
02:03:19,110 --> 02:03:21,440
Cool, right? Let's play.

1217
02:03:21,570 --> 02:03:22,980
I'll be Takaya!

1218
02:03:23,110 --> 02:03:24,030
I'm Ryuichi!

1219
02:03:24,150 --> 02:03:25,280
Woohoo!

1220
02:03:25,400 --> 02:03:26,650
I'm the villain.
