1. Very nice. I can see the
picture forming in my mind.
Copy !req
2. I know, right?
Copy !req
3. Can we have them do our music?
Copy !req
4. I'll ask!
Copy !req
5. Who exactly is this?
Copy !req
6. I only know them from online, but...
Copy !req
7. Hot! Hot!
Copy !req
8. That's stylish.
Copy !req
9. Brought the new track and things got hot!
Haven't played here in a while. Still the best.
Crowd was super into it. Thank you!
Copy !req
10. Nice change of pace.
Copy !req
11. Live @ Bossa Cafe
Copy !req
12. They've been releasing tracks through
music sites for a while now,
Copy !req
13. and have worked on indie
anime and movies before.
Copy !req
14. Mizusaki, is that tan going to be a problem?
Copy !req
15. It could've been,
Copy !req
16. but I haven't been doing any
modeling jobs lately, so no sweat!
Copy !req
17. Any offers?
Copy !req
18. Not sure. Haven't been really
keeping up with them.
Copy !req
19. Three of a kind!
Copy !req
20. Mizusaki, could you accept the
occasional modeling job from now on?
Copy !req
21. And watch the tan lines.
Copy !req
22. What's this all about, Kanamori?
Copy !req
23. What do you think the eizouken's
number one selling point is?
Copy !req
24. Refined and carefully-crafted animation!
Copy !req
25. It's Mizusaki's fame.
Copy !req
26. Of course, she will be animating
until her hands fall off, too.
Copy !req
27. They'll fall off?
Copy !req
28. But the stardom of the model Tsubame Mizusaki
Copy !req
29. dimming would be like having
one of our wings clipped.
Copy !req
30. Incidentally, here's a promotional
plan that Mr. Kashima
Copy !req
31. from the dandan noodle shop just sent over.

36. THE!
Copy !req
37. Tsubame
Copy !req
38. Mizusaki
Copy !req
39. Voice actor auditions?
Copy !req
40. And I'm the judge?
Copy !req
41. Once the idea was proposed
to the chamber of commerce,
Copy !req
42. they enthusiastically agreed, thinking it'd
be good advertising for the town.
Copy !req
43. I don't wanna—
Copy !req
44. You could have the starring role.
Copy !req
45. Except I know you'd rather not.
Copy !req
46. Which is why I'm asking for your
help with this instead.
Copy !req
47. Well, I'll take it over being in the cast.
Copy !req
48. I'll let them know, then.
Copy !req
49. And if we're going to secure
music and have auditions,
Copy !req
50. it'd help to know what the
story was going to be.
Copy !req
51. A party!
Copy !req
52. After hearing that music, I was
inspired to make our finale into a dance scene!
Copy !req
53. It's a party! That seems fun! I love it!
Copy !req
54. If we're going to be animating to music,
Copy !req
55. we'll need to get an early demo
of the music for the dance scene!
Copy !req
56. Why exactly are they partying?
Copy !req
57. Maybe it's a...
Copy !req
58. Celebration for a hard-won victory!
Copy !req
59. "Inspired."Maybe."
Copy !req
60. It feels like you're just
submitting scenes you thought up
Copy !req
61. with no thought to the overall picture.
Copy !req
62. I don't care what the actual story is,
but it's about time you—
Copy !req
63. It's lively in here, as usual.
Copy !req
64. Having a little party, Kanamoney?
Copy !req
65. Kanamoney!
Copy !req
66. Quiet, you!
Copy !req
67. Did you think of another excuse to fine us?
Copy !req
68. It's not about that.
Copy !req
69. You've always got your mind on cash, huh?
Copy !req
70. It's not money that I like,
it's productive activities.
Copy !req
71. And the money?
Copy !req
72. The money helps quantify that productivity.
Copy !req
73. Well, there's a little problem with that...
Copy !req
74. Turns out, the school isn't thrilled
about you making money on the outside.
Copy !req
75. Self-Publishing Exhibition and Sales Event

Copy !req

Copy !req

Copy !req

Copy !req
83. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
Copy !req
84. Wh-What's wrong, Kanamori?
Copy !req
85. Are we in trouble?
Copy !req
86. There's so damn much I can poke holes
in here, I can't bring myself to start.
Copy !req
87. That's bad. Because the
two of us can't exactly...
Copy !req
88. Extracurricular activities are
considered a full-fledged part of education.
Copy !req
89. The government curriculum details
as much, along with the rules involved.
Copy !req
90. We're fully willing to consider
any directions you have,
Copy !req
91. if they actually serve a purpose.
Copy !req
92. Well, it's not very educational to use
club activities to earn money, is it?
Copy !req
93. Isn't the culture festival a means of
Copy !req
94. securing profits from
outside of the school, too?
Copy !req
95. That's... a special exception.
Copy !req
96. Look, here... "Athletic,
cultural, or technical pursuits
Copy !req
97. in order to exercise intellectual curiosity,
Copy !req
98. cultivate a sense of responsibility,
and develop teamwork."
Copy !req
99. That's what it says!
Copy !req
100. We all saw your film. It was incredible!
Copy !req
101. Especially for high school students.
Copy !req
102. So we think what you're doing is wonderful.
Copy !req
103. But you can't try and profit off of it.
Copy !req
104. That makes it something else
than education. Don't you see?
Copy !req
105. You've been avoiding explaining why,
exactly, turning a profit isn't educational.
Copy !req
106. I have not!
Copy !req
107. It's just that, working diligently
with your friends on something
Copy !req
108. can provide things money can't buy!
Copy !req
109. I'm starting to wonder if the
government curriculum guidelines
Copy !req
110. say something about only
fools becoming teachers.
Copy !req
111. How could you say that? They're all
great people! I mean, they're teachers!
Copy !req
112. I think you might have what it
takes to be a teacher, president.
Copy !req
113. Y-You think?
Copy !req
114. Let's get to the real issue.
Copy !req
115. The bottom line is, a lot of people outside
the school, including parents,
Copy !req
116. aren't comfortable with students
getting involved with money.
Copy !req
117. And schools don't cope well with pressure.
Copy !req
118. Which means they don't feel like
the risk your little operation
Copy !req
119. might incur is worth the trouble.
Copy !req
120. There are a lot of political
considerations for a school.
Copy !req
121. To say nothing about the legal—
Copy !req
122. What's the point of an educational institution
Copy !req
123. if it won't stand up for its students?
Copy !req
124. People who don't understand business
Copy !req
125. will fall behind those who do,
and be worse off for it.
Copy !req
126. Spewing out superficial pleasantries
about "dreams" and "hard work,"
Copy !req
127. while turning away from anything
that might cause a headache.
Copy !req
128. Is that your idea of teaching?
Copy !req
129. We just can't have you doing whatever you want.
Copy !req
130. The school has to consider its
relationship with the town, too.
Copy !req
131. What would you be using this money for, anyway?
Copy !req
132. For all your talk about how this is
some high-minded business exercise,
Copy !req
133. aren't you just using the school's
name to benefit yourself?
Copy !req
134. Indeed, I am.
Copy !req
135. I'll use anything that helps.
Call it a "means to survive."
Copy !req
136. You're all still students.
Copy !req
137. Aren't there things your club
could only be doing while you're still here?
Copy !req
138. We all want you to cherish
the time you have.
Copy !req
139. There's no need to rush into adulthood.
Copy !req
140. Because once you've grown up, you'll have to—
Copy !req
141. Too optimistic.
Copy !req
142. "The effort itself was the reward."
Copy !req
143. It's an extracurricular cliche,
Copy !req
144. and people who indulge in it learn
the hard truth when they're adults.
Copy !req
145. Besides, we didn't ask the chamber
of commerce to fund the production,
Copy !req
146. we proposed a joint operation with them.
Copy !req
147. And they decided to accept.
Copy !req
148. I think we're done here.
Copy !req
149. The point is, you're free
to participate in the event,
Copy !req
150. but you can't accept any money earned at it.

Copy !req
205. How are things proceeding, Asakusa?
Copy !req
206. Bit by bit.
Copy !req
207. Ideally, we'd be able to include a lot
references to the real Shibahama...
Copy !req
208. Canals

Copy !req
219. You see, Kanamoney, once you're
directing your third production,
Copy !req
220. you start to understand what the people want.
Copy !req
221. And where are we with the story, Director?
Copy !req
222. Got it right here!
Copy !req
223. An enemy prisoner of war comes
to understand human kindness,
Copy !req
224. changes sides, and fights
alongside humanity!
Copy !req
225. Soldier smiles,
but can't talk
Copy !req
226. Can I stop you for a second?
Copy !req
227. What does the enemy look like?
And who are they?
Copy !req
228. They're in UFOs, so they've
gotta be aliens, right?
Copy !req
229. P-Probably?
Copy !req
230. The enemy fortress appears
out of Lake Shibahama,
Copy !req
231. and has the same kind of design
as the human towers. Why is that?
Copy !req
232. Actually, why were the UFOs attacking again?
Copy !req
233. Are they invading the Earth?
Copy !req
234. Figure it out!
Copy !req
235. Your directions dictate what
the entire staff is doing!
Copy !req
236. You can fret your weird head off,
but the clock is ticking!
Copy !req
237. If the storyboards take too long, that puts
Copy !req
238. extra pressure on every
other step in the process!
Copy !req
239. Understand?
Copy !req
240. I understand!
Copy !req
241. Asakusa melted her way into hiding!
Copy !req
242. That sounds exciting!
Copy !req
243. Let's go to the Sound Club!
Copy !req
244. Open sesame!
Copy !req
245. Fully Rotated
Copy !req
246. Fully Rotated
Copy !req
247. Fully Rotated
Copy !req
248. Rrrrrumble...
Copy !req
249. It felt like we were lost in space.
Copy !req
250. She's asleep.
Copy !req
251. A kappa?
Copy !req
252. No. Human.
Copy !req
253. You sounded like you were
firing a beam in your sleep.
Copy !req
254. Like you'd see in a space battle.
Copy !req
255. There's no sound in a vacuum, y'know.
Copy !req
256. Wheel, dough.
Copy !req
257. Well, duh.
Copy !req
258. Wait, is it Saturday?
Copy !req
259. Is today t-tomorrow?
Copy !req
260. Today is tomorrow.
Copy !req
261. Oh, crap!
Copy !req
262. Tomorrow from yesterday, which was Thursday.
Copy !req
263. It's still Friday.
Copy !req
264. Oh, man... so it's not tomorrow yet.
Copy !req
265. Did you seriously think a whole day
passed while you were asleep?
Copy !req
266. Well, I've never napped before.
Copy !req
267. Wait, that was a lifetime first?
Copy !req
268. Were you doing something on Saturday?
Copy !req
269. Good morning, comrades!
Copy !req
270. Morning!
Copy !req
271. You're sure you want to come along?
Copy !req
272. Why exactly are we meeting up on bikes?
Copy !req
273. Because we're going sound hunting!
Copy !req
274. Let's hunt some sounds!
Copy !req
275. Work on the storyboards!
Copy !req
276. And figure out who the bad guys are!
Copy !req
277. Why are you tagging along on a sound hunt?
That's the audio director's job!
Copy !req
278. The general director's job is
to keep an eye on everything!
Copy !req
279. Talk big after you finish
your own damn job.
Copy !req
280. I would've been fine on
my own, but she insisted.
Copy !req
281. I mean...
Copy !req
282. You clearly don't mean anything.
Copy !req
283. But...
Copy !req
284. No ifs, ands, or buts.
Copy !req
285. Still...
Copy !req
286. No, not still! Moving!
Copy !req
287. I-I'm just looking for
ideas for the storyboards!
Copy !req
288. It's a hunt of my own.
Copy !req
289. What hunt?
Copy !req
290. Scenario hunting!
Copy !req
291. I wanted one last idea to put a
bow on the setup for the project.
Copy !req
292. I don't mind the company,
as long as you help out.
Copy !req
293. Sounds good!
Copy !req
294. Why am I here?
Copy !req
295. Let'sa go!
Copy !req
296. This had better be productive.
Copy !req
297. Turn on Lights
Copy !req
298. This is the place.
Copy !req
299. Looks like the remains of a generator...
Copy !req
300. With English brick bonding.
Copy !req
301. I can see the school!
Copy !req
302. I've been curious about
this place for a long time.
Copy !req
303. And this has something to do
with the Shibahama-UFO Battle?
Copy !req
304. Probably!
Copy !req
305. No roof, huh?
Copy !req
306. The idea is the water comes down and
turns a wheel, which generates power.
Copy !req
307. That's cool!
Copy !req

Copy !req
320. Hey, it's the clock tower
that we're always looking at!
Copy !req
321. Interesting to catch a glimpse up close.
Copy !req
322. This is one of the things I'm here for.
Copy !req
323. It's kinda like a tourist spot...
Copy !req
324. Oh, wow! It's a pendulum!
Copy !req
325. I wonder what this place was?
Copy !req
326. Looks to me an awful lot like an alien
base disguised as a clock tower.
Copy !req
327. It's so big! And you can
see the back of the clock!
Copy !req
328. I'd wager the owners or some
politician thought they'd
Copy !req
329. fix the place up and turn it
into a tourist destination.
Copy !req
330. This building just gave me an idea!
Copy !req
331. Twelve
Copy !req

Copy !req
334. Ten
Copy !req
335. Nine
Copy !req
336. Eight
Copy !req
337. Five
Copy !req
338. It was once a luxurious home to wealthy tenants!
Copy !req
339. And inside the clock, high atop it,
a massive treasure is hidden!
Copy !req
340. Thus...
Copy !req
341. An alliance of thieves has targeted it!
Copy !req
342. They face...
Copy !req
343. The bodyguard hired by the building's owners.
Copy !req
344. So a security guard, basically.
Copy !req
345. The last scene is a duel atop the
grass field that grows on the roof...
Copy !req
346. Stop. Hold it right there.
Copy !req
347. This is one huge clock!
Copy !req
348. How about that concept? It'd make
for a great 15-minute short!
Copy !req
349. Stop talking about other projects.
Focus on finishing the one you're working on.
Copy !req
350. What now?
Copy !req
351. K
Copy !req
352. There are Ks!
Copy !req
353. K? What?
Copy !req
354. You take the "K" from "kinetic
energy" and call it a "K-cannon!"
Copy !req
355. K
Copy !req
356. It's a DEW the Imperial Army
was cooking up in secret...
Copy !req
357. A Directed-Energy Weapon!
Copy !req
358. Those are urban legends, right?
Copy !req
359. But then, it turns out, they're real!
Copy !req
360. And maybe this is the forgotten
laboratory where it was worked on!
Copy !req
361. Gonna stop you right there again.
Copy !req
362. Get back on topic with our current project.
Copy !req
363. I feel a guiding hand here...
Copy !req
364. This time, we're working something
we were destined to make!
Copy !req
365. Essentially...
Copy !req
366. In our club room, on the
other side of the coast,
Copy !req
367. the subject for an exposure
test was being stored.
Copy !req
368. Something was fired from this side...
Copy !req
369. Which lit something in the eizouken club room
Copy !req
370. that kicked those fans we have
into gear, to awaken something!
Copy !req
371. Asakusa's gone crazy!
Copy !req
372. K
Copy !req
373. I just figured out the
connection to my storyboards!
Copy !req
374. A mecha to fight those UFOs was
developed right where we stand!
Copy !req
375. Basically, this was the base
for the Shibahama military!
Copy !req
376. That sounds good to me.
Copy !req
377. See, Kanamori? This bit of sound
hunting paid fine dividends!
Copy !req
378. Crap, my target!
Copy !req
379. Everybody, gimme a hand!
Copy !req
380. K
Copy !req
381. Kanamori, get the fluffy thing from my bag.
Copy !req
382. Asakusa, set up the tripod!
Copy !req
383. Roger Wilco!
Copy !req
384. Is this it?
Copy !req
385. Mizusaki, your jacket's kinda noisy.
Copy !req
386. Really?
Copy !req
387. Almost time. Nobody move a muscle.
Copy !req
388. Good work, everyone. That went smoothly.
Copy !req
389. That was nerve-wracking!
Copy !req
390. I finally got it!
Copy !req
391. I'm surprised you didn't have it already.
Copy !req
392. K
Copy !req
393. There's an old one in the club's collection,
Copy !req
394. but the sound has degraded with time.
Copy !req
395. But even though everything else is
in ruins, this bell still rings out.
Copy !req
396. It's probably just been forgotten about.
Copy !req
397. It continues to ring for some reason?
Copy !req
398. That's magnificent!
Copy !req
399. All right,
Copy !req
400. the bell that continues to chime for
some reason has given me a new idea!
Copy !req
401. That's enough out of you!
Copy !req
402. I wanna go next!
Copy !req
403. Hey, eizouken.
Copy !req
404. The class president!
Copy !req
405. Uh, no. I'm actually the secretary.
Copy !req
406. So, did you figure out what to
do about that stuff from before?
Copy !req
407. The copyrights of works belong
to their individual creators.
Copy !req
408. We'll enter Comet A as the film club,
Copy !req
409. and then any sales and collection of
cash will be done on an individual basis.
Copy !req
410. Couldn't you just enter a contest?
Copy !req
411. A contest would be good for our reputation,
Copy !req
412. but it'd take too long to pay dividends.
Copy !req
413. An event like this gets us instant
recognition, an influx of income,
Copy !req
414. and market research, all in one.
Copy !req
415. The eizouken's agenda is production
and research, isn't it?
Copy !req
416. Management is a type of research, too.
Copy !req
417. The baseball club does that kind of thing.
Copy !req
418. They keep records of their sales,
organize the data, and then report on it.
Copy !req
419. It's only natural that popularity
Copy !req
420. would be the standard by which
club activities are measured.
Copy !req
421. You could manage all that inside
the school's jurisdiction.
Copy !req
422. It wouldn't be anything more
than a simulation, then.
Copy !req
423. Well, it's not exactly a model for society.
Copy !req
424. Schools are a world unto themselves.
Copy !req
425. Step too far outside of that world,
and you won't be protected anymore.
Copy !req
426. What're you getting at?
Copy !req
427. Behold!
Copy !req
428. We're moving beyond simple rotation!
Copy !req
429. Fans, drills...
Copy !req
430. propeller skirts, ducted fans, and chainsaws!
Copy !req
431. It's time we reconsider all
of these spinning machines!
Copy !req
432. What is this thing?
Copy !req
433. Her job.
Copy !req
434. This?
Copy !req
435. This motion is more like a gear.
Copy !req
436. Like in a clock?
Copy !req
437. What is this? Wavy grass?
Copy !req
438. No, it's wavy sound.
Copy !req
439. You layer it like this, the
same way you would an image.
Copy !req
440. I can hear it.
Copy !req
441. You knock it around, layer it,
clip it up, and reattach it...
Copy !req
442. What kind of tool is it supposed to be?
Copy !req
443. I'll think that up.
Copy !req
444. I've got it!
Copy !req
445. This equipment is said to be able
to transmit wishes and gratitude
Copy !req
446. from the surface world to the underwater one!
Copy !req
447. A device (ritual tool) that was created by using machine technology
originally designed for milling
Copy !req
448. Top is a flat surface
Copy !req
449. Cylinder is made from bamboo,
cut into quarters
Copy !req
450. Jet
Sometimes depicted as going up
and down
Copy !req
451. Range of rotation is
90 degrees, won't turn
all the way at once
Copy !req
452. And the water responds in kind by
granting the surface world its blessing.
Copy !req
453. Wing
Copy !req
454. Axel catches water,
causing the paddle to rotate
Copy !req
455. How the movement works
Copy !req
456. Axel
Copy !req
457. Stabilizer
Copy !req
458. Teeth will catch if there's
ever reverse rotation.
Lower axles also rotate.
Copy !req
459. Flow of water
Copy !req
460. Direction of piston movement
Copy !req
461. It's pushed in an undulating motion,
so the axle moves upwards
Copy !req
462. The paddles move left and right,
like a pendulum, when hit by
the flow of water
Copy !req
463. Raised up by water's pull
on the paddle, which is
connected to the axe
Copy !req
464. This device is what enables
that mutual exchange!
Copy !req
465. Output
Copy !req
466. Output
Copy !req
467. Input
Copy !req
468. The tradition behind it is eventually forgotten,
Copy !req
469. but the technology itself evolves
into becoming the basis for
Copy !req
470. clockwork machinery, and is passed on.
Copy !req
471. And the bells?
Copy !req
472. Festival rites.
Copy !req
473. They purify people of their evil,
Copy !req
474. and call upon the water for a bountiful harvest.
Copy !req
475. The chime!
Copy !req
476. I'm curious...
Copy !req
477. Does this have anything to
do with our current project?
Copy !req
478. Did you figure out how to connect this to it?
Copy !req
479. You're really gonna need
to decide on the villains,
Copy !req
480. or I won't be able to make
much progress with the sounds.
Copy !req
481. What about the climax? Have you figured
out the identity of the bad guys?
Copy !req
482. Not yet...
Copy !req
483. And what are they after? I thought you
were gonna put a bow on the concept?
Copy !req
484. I forgot that they're in their own world, too.
