1. Did you manage to lose them, Mizusaki?Copy !req
2. Yep! That shortcut you told
me about worked great!Copy !req
3. Asakusa, your bag looks really durable.Copy !req
4. You have quite the eye for quality, Mizusaki!Copy !req
5. It's made for military use!Copy !req
6. It looks cheap, from what I can tell.Copy !req
7. I spent all of my New Year's money on it!Copy !req
8. It's a big ticket item, Kanamori.Copy !req
9. Wow, so around 100,000?Copy !req
10. Well, you said used all of
your New Year's money...Copy !req
11. We're working-class folks, so my
New Year's money was 21,000.Copy !req
12. O-Oh...Copy !req
13. The faculty office isn't
in that direction, Asakusa.Copy !req
14. We're going to submit our
proposal for a new club, right?Copy !req
15. Can't we all just join the anime club?Copy !req
16. But my parents said I couldn't.Copy !req
17. Since Mizusaki is unable
to join the anime club,Copy !req
18. we absolutely need to create
a new club to make anime.Copy !req
19. Are you chickening out?Copy !req
20. You make it sound easy, Kanamori,
but the idea of actually going in there...Copy !req
21. I don't mind! Starting a
new club sounds like fun.Copy !req
22. Do you really think that they're going
to let us start a new club for anime,Copy !req
23. when one already exists?Copy !req
24. Good point.Copy !req
25. I'll settle that issue with money
or violence, if it comes to that.Copy !req
26. Please don't!Copy !req
27. A film club?Copy !req
28. That's kind of a vague idea.
What exactly would you be making?Copy !req
29. Shorts? Feature length?Copy !req
30. We already have clubs
for anime and CG...Copy !req
31. We don't have one for feature-length films,
though. How about it?Copy !req
32. There's a poster for a competition back there.Copy !req
33. The clubs at our school tend
not to be very competitive.Copy !req
34. Maybe you girls could make a feature and enter?Copy !req
35. It'd be a big help if you could do
video stuff for school events, too.Copy !req
36. Live action...Copy !req
37. Mr. Yokota...Copy !req
38. If we get a club that produces
films off the ground,Copy !req
39. what kind of budget would we be receiving?Copy !req
40. W-Well, it depends on what you accomplish,Copy !req
41. but if the club is officially established,Copy !req
42. your annual budget could be
as much as 150,000 yen a year.Copy !req
43. Hang on, Kanamori!Copy !req
44. He's talking about a club for live-action movies!Copy !req
45. We want to make anime, Kanamori!Copy !req
46. Huh? You can't make anime!Copy !req
47. We've already got an anime club!Copy !req
48. What are you two talking about?Copy !req
49. Anime is film too, isn't it?Copy !req
50. So we call ourselves the film club,
and produce anime. It's that simple.Copy !req
51. We'd love to start a film club!Copy !req
52. I see. Should be interesting,
with you involved, Mizusaki.Copy !req
53. But hang on... you don't have an advisor.Copy !req
54. You're not going to do it?Copy !req
55. Heavy...Copy !req
56. My beard feels heavy.Copy !req
57. Mr. Fujimoto?Copy !req
58. Lately, this beard of mine feels so heavy.
It makes my shoulders stiff.Copy !req
59. Maybe my circulation would get
better if I was a club advisor.Copy !req
60. So I think I'll take on that role.Copy !req
61. There's an open space for a club,
so let's go check it out.Copy !req
62. This is great! He gets it!Copy !req
63. The eizouken is taking the stage!Copy !req
64. KeepCopy !req
65. YourCopy !req
66. HandsCopy !req
67. OffCopy !req
68. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!Copy !req
69. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!Copy !req
70. This is the place? It's huge!Copy !req
71. It's got those wavy metal plates
for walls! That's so stylish!Copy !req
72. It's just old sheet metal.Copy !req
73. Man, get a load of that!Copy !req
74. Hey! Double fans! Cool!Copy !req
75. Huh? They're big, too.Copy !req
76. I'm going to go ahead and take some video.
It'll help for a plan of action.Copy !req
77. It's really hot in here.Copy !req
78. There's no air conditioning, after all.Copy !req
79. Can't the school arrange for an air conditioner?Copy !req
80. You girls are still a loose association
with nothing to your name.Copy !req
81. Once you've been officially recognized,
you might net yourselves an AC.Copy !req
82. Well, good luck.Copy !req
83. Holes in the ceiling and walls, and no
financial support from the school.Copy !req
84. It cost 20,000,000 yen to get
the roof redone at our house.Copy !req
85. I don't have that kind of money!Copy !req
86. We don't need to do renovations
like your house would call for.Copy !req
87. I bet 30,000 will be enough!Copy !req
88. That is very unlikely.Copy !req
89. I suppose we should clean up for now,Copy !req
90. and make this place a bit more tolerable.Copy !req
91. I wonder where the switch for the fans is!Copy !req
92. I found a broom!Copy !req
93. Our priority should probably be
fixing the walls and ceiling.Copy !req
94. Between labor and materials,
it's likely to be more than 50,000.Copy !req
95. I suppose we should do it ourselves, if we can.Copy !req
96. Hey, listen!Copy !req
97. This place is going to be our
base of operations, right?Copy !req
98. That's right.Copy !req
99. So it's like a villa just for us!Copy !req
100. We should bring in a sofa,
and a TV, and bookshelves,Copy !req
101. and make it a lot more comfy!Copy !req
102. I want it to be like the
animation studios in Hollywood!Copy !req
103. With big mirrors for recording performances!Copy !req
104. And a screening room for checking footage!Copy !req
105. And a recording studio!Copy !req
106. And while we're at it...Copy !req
107. We can make the entire roof into a big hatch!Copy !req
108. If the roof can open up,
we can take off from here!Copy !req
109. Whoa! What is that?Copy !req
110. An engine-powered, motor-propelled
personal helicopter!Copy !req
111. The blades are made of a special organic glass,Copy !req
112. so they're light and really strong!Copy !req
113. And it's got a position-based control system,
so anyone can fly freely with it!Copy !req
114. No, they can't!Copy !req
115. You'd end up rotating in the opposite
direction of the propeller!Copy !req
116. Reverse torque?Copy !req
117. In that case, you have the internal
rotor spin in the opposite direction...Copy !req
118. That lets you maintain your position!Copy !req
119. You forgot the part where the wind is
enough to knock this building over!Copy !req
120. Whuzzat?Copy !req
121. Dang it, don't distract me
with details! You'll make me fall!Copy !req
122. Then fall already! And quit flashing us!Copy !req
123. This is harder than I thought!Copy !req
124. I'm... fall... ing!Copy !req
125. Asakusa!Copy !req
126. The wings can also be straightened out,
then slid into standby with a rail system,Copy !req
127. where they're unlocked, for storage...Copy !req
128. She's still explaining concepts
after a fall like that.Copy !req
129. She's most likely worked up from the
excitement of getting the space.Copy !req
130. But you did well, Asakusa. Very well.Copy !req
131. Your death won't be in vain.Copy !req
132. I'm not dead yet.Copy !req
133. We can sell the footage of
your fall at a high price,Copy !req
134. and use it to fix up the room.Copy !req
135. You can sell that kind of thing?Copy !req
136. Haven't you seen the shows
where they talk about how muchCopy !req
137. "shocking footage" sells for?Copy !req
138. Most of the footage you see on TV along
those lines is bought and paid for.Copy !req
139. So that that bit of candid footage
might mean a payout for us.Copy !req
140. It's just me falling down. You're not
gonna get a TV station to pay for that.Copy !req
141. There are middle men who handle
that part, so we don't have to do much.Copy !req
142. You have really long legs, Kanamori.Copy !req
143. I slept a lot, so I grew up big and strong.Copy !req
144. And now the upload is complete.Copy !req
145. And we're going to get paid for it?Copy !req
146. Only if someone decides to buy it.Copy !req
147. If I had to fall on my head,
it'd be nice if we got paid for it.Copy !req
148. Well, it is on the old side.Copy !req
149. I'm just glad you weren't hurt.Copy !req
150. The school will handle the repairs,
so don't worry about the money.Copy !req
151. I actually managed to capture the
sensational footage on camera.Copy !req
152. As interesting as that might be to see,
that's technically accident footage.Copy !req
153. Keep it to yourselves, all right?Copy !req
154. The higher-ups might get upset, otherwise.Copy !req
155. Okay!Copy !req
156. It should be fine, right?Copy !req
157. As long as no one buys it, yes.Copy !req
158. Though the money would be nice.Copy !req
159. But y'know...Copy !req
160. We get to make anime now!Copy !req
161. Yes!Copy !req
162. I'd say there are plenty of concerns,
still, as far as gear and budget go.Copy !req
163. I say that tomorrow we have an anime
production meeting in the club room!Copy !req
164. Roger that.Copy !req
165. This is going to be a crucial moment
for setting the course of the eizouken!Copy !req
166. Tardiness will not be tolerated!Copy !req
167. What exactly is this idiocy, Asakusa?Copy !req
168. I'm spinning plates.Copy !req
169. I can see that.Copy !req
170. Asakusa said you'd probably
complain a bunch,Copy !req
171. so we should have our celebration
before you showed up—Copy !req
172. I have problems with people who try and
use random excuses for celebrations.Copy !req
173. Roger, dodger, and wilco on that.Copy !req
174. Aw, it's fine, Kanamori!Copy !req
175. We've got croquettes from the cafeteria,Copy !req
176. and the canned milk they sell
at the Ongyoku Bathhouse!Copy !req
177. You could've just said that.
What a wonderful party.Copy !req
178. You're such a mercenary!Copy !req
179. More importantly, Kanamori,
have you noticed something?Copy !req
180. The sofa, I assume?Copy !req
181. That's right! Mizusaki brought it in.Copy !req
182. We weren't using it at home, so I had
the property clerk send it down here.Copy !req
183. You have one of those?Copy !req
184. Using tires for chairs in your secret base
is strictly for elementary schoolers.Copy !req
185. We're in high school.
That is to say, we're adults.Copy !req
186. And this sofa is the proof of that maturity!Copy !req
187. I propose a toast to celebrate
our graduation from tires!Copy !req
188. My problems also extend to people who
will use any old excuse for a toast.Copy !req
189. I'm curious. How much did
this sofa cost, Mizusaki?Copy !req
190. About three million yen.Copy !req
191. I thought as much.Copy !req
192. Three mill—?Copy !req
193. I-I j-just stabbed a three
million dollar sofa with a fork!Copy !req
194. Oh, it's fine! It's not like we were using it.Copy !req
195. It was basically junk, just taking up space.Copy !req
196. More importantly, we need to
talk about making this anime.Copy !req
197. I'd say the sanctity of the
sofa is a bigger deal.Copy !req
198. I want to draw the natural movements
you see in daily life,Copy !req
199. with lots of realistic acting that feels alive.Copy !req
200. You're just ignoring what I said, huh?Copy !req
201. Lots of realistic, subtle facial
expressions and camera angles...Copy !req
202. Good lip sync and blinking...Copy !req
203. And I want to focus on the timing of
intercharacter conversation, too!Copy !req
204. If we're talking about focus,Copy !req
205. then mine is making sure the details of the settings
and the gimmicks are as detailed as possible.Copy !req
206. That's your specialty, Asakusa!Copy !req
207. The right use of sound effects
can add a bunch of texture, too.Copy !req
208. Like making sure a "boom" puts the
right emphasis on an explosion...Copy !req
209. It'd be great to do it on paper, too!Copy !req
210. I usually use a tablet.Copy !req
211. Why don't we settle on a genre, first of all?Copy !req
212. Sci-fi and romance...Copy !req
213. We don't have brand recognition
like big-name studios,Copy !req
214. so we'll need a genre with mass appeal
if we want to see any profit from this.Copy !req
215. We don't get the club's funding
from our audience, though.Copy !req
216. I want our focus to be the animation,Copy !req
217. and the kind of scenes we want to make!Copy !req
218. We can settle on a genre later. It'll be fine.Copy !req
219. It's best to let them do what they want for now,
to size up what they're capable of.Copy !req
220. We'll table the question of genre for now.Copy !req
221. What exactly do we need to make anime?Copy !req
222. There's lots of stuff...Copy !req
223. But if we're doing it by hand,
we'll need animation paper.Copy !req
224. Animation paper?Copy !req
225. It's really just paper with holes in it.Copy !req
226. But you use pegs to hold it in place
when you're actually animating.Copy !req
227. What pegs?Copy !req
228. The pegs are—Copy !req
229. Whoa, hang on. We don't even have a desk yet.Copy !req
230. Asakusa's actually fairly sharp
when she's got a cool head.Copy !req
231. A complete idiot when she's worked up, though.Copy !req
232. That's funny!Copy !req
233. I wouldn't say a complete idiot...Copy !req
234. Let's talk to the powers that be
about getting some desks.Copy !req
235. Leave this to me!Copy !req
236. Fair enough. Just don't
bring up anime production.Copy !req
237. I'll prove to you both that I'm no idiot!Copy !req
238. Pardon the intrusion!Copy !req
239. Mr. Fujimoto... is not here?Copy !req
240. Hey, it's the eizouken's shock troop girls.Copy !req
241. What's up?Copy !req
242. We need desks for the club room,
but since we don't have any budget,Copy !req
243. we were hoping there were some we could borrow.Copy !req
244. Oh, right.Copy !req
245. We've got a few long desks, in addition
to the kind that are in classrooms.Copy !req
246. What do you have in mind?Copy !req
247. If there are any, a desk with
a light box would be perfect!Copy !req
248. Huh?Copy !req
249. You need them for making anime—Copy !req
250. Anime?Copy !req
251. I said no anime!Copy !req
252. Uh, we—Copy !req
253. Shoot!Copy !req
254. We've already got an anime club!
You girls need to be working in live action.Copy !req
255. Having two groups with the
same focus is a bad idea.Copy !req
256. We in the film club are operating with
an eye towards general film production,Copy !req
257. and as such, have a right do just that,Copy !req
258. regardless of whether such films
are animated or live action.Copy !req
259. Besides, isn't the anime club's
official designation theCopy !req
260. "anime culture research group," sir?Copy !req
261. And, as that entails, their focus
is currently on researching anime,Copy !req
262. not the production of film.Copy !req
263. A club making claims on other activities
with no actual intent of engaging in themCopy !req
264. is a nuisance to other groups.Copy !req
265. Not to mention how a teacher infringing
on a student's right to organizeCopy !req
266. for legitimate activities without
a proper reason is a matterCopy !req
267. worth bringing up to the PTA
and the Board of Education—Copy !req
268. I get it, I get it!Copy !req
269. Man, kids are scary nowadays.Copy !req
270. This is the key to the storeroom
the old anime club used to use.Copy !req
271. I think they have an old desk
for tracing in there.Copy !req
272. Go ahead and use anything you need.Copy !req
273. But try and avoid anime, if you can!Copy !req
274. And there's supposed to be a big rainstorm later,Copy !req
275. so hurry and take care of your business.Copy !req
276. Copy that! Thanks!Copy !req
277. Man, get a load of that!Copy !req
278. There's an actual windmill!Copy !req
279. It must've been for the wind from the canal!Copy !req
280. It's like we have a river, too!Copy !req
281. I never thought there'd be something
like this right below our clubroom.Copy !req
282. Careful there, Mizusaki!Copy !req
283. Let's check out the storeroom.Copy !req
284. Holy cow, there's a generator!Copy !req
285. These are the folders you keep cuts in!Copy !req
286. There are cells and backgrounds, too!Copy !req
287. You mean to tell me someone painted
each one of these, individually?Copy !req
288. Yep!Copy !req
289. And then you put it on the
background when you film it.Copy !req
290. Too many at once makes it blurry,
so generally it was four at a time.Copy !req
291. The people who handled the coloringCopy !req
292. would even compensate for the
differences in coloring the layers caused!Copy !req
293. I see... It's connected to the windmill outside.Copy !req
294. But if it's not going to turn...Copy !req
295. I wonder what this is...Copy !req
296. You've got a real thing for high
places, don't you, Mizusaki?Copy !req
297. I guess they were using wind
to power to this place...Copy !req
298. That's a camera stand!Copy !req
299. You're right! This thing's a camera!Copy !req
300. It's huge! This is the real deal!Copy !req
301. You turn this crank...Copy !req
302. And by moving the background
a little bit at a time,Copy !req
303. you can make a single stationary
cell look like it's in motion.Copy !req
304. Each turn is 0.1mm, so a fourth
of that would be 0.025mm.Copy !req
305. You can raise the camera with this crank,
which lets you zoom in and pull out.Copy !req
306. If you use the different levels,
you can change the point of focus...Copy !req
307. And you can manage light permeationCopy !req
308. by using the mirror on the bottom to
reflect the right amount for your brightness.Copy !req
309. There's so much valuable stuff here!Copy !req
310. What about the desk that we came here for?Copy !req
311. One with this light box thing.Copy !req
312. This is it!Copy !req
313. It's just like I've seen in books!Copy !req
314. There's animation paper,
pencil sharpeners, a feather sweeper...Copy !req
315. Clips, tape... wow!Copy !req
316. We can use this stuff as-is! We've won!Copy !req
317. This is a big win for us!Copy !req
318. This is the peg I was talking about!Copy !req
319. You run it through the hole in the paper.Copy !req
320. That way, you can draw with
a bunch of sheets at once!Copy !req
321. And what's this?Copy !req
322. Someone must've drawn the
windmill that's outside.Copy !req
323. Looks rough.Copy !req
324. It's just a layout. The early stuff.Copy !req
325. Is it any good, Mizusaki?Copy !req
326. Well, they did a good job of drawing it, but...Copy !req
327. What do you think, Asakusa?Copy !req
328. I don't think it'll turn like this.Copy !req
329. There's no angle on the blades.Copy !req
330. Hey, you're right.Copy !req
331. It can't catch the wind like that,
so it won't spin.Copy !req
332. Y'know... what if we finish it?Copy !req
333. Good idea!Copy !req
334. I underestimated animation.Copy !req
335. Doing things analog... is rough.Copy !req
336. It's easy to get dirty, and my fingers hurt.Copy !req
337. It's really hard to draw any good, fine lines.Copy !req
338. And the oil from my hands
is making the paper curl up.Copy !req
339. Animators were getting paid
how much for each drawing?Copy !req
340. We're not getting paid anything, Mizusaki!Copy !req
341. There! All done.Copy !req
342. Let me see.Copy !req
343. You're good at that, Kanamori!Copy !req
344. A knack for handling stacks of paper. Figures.Copy !req
345. Something's still weird, though...Copy !req
346. I think maybe the angle isn't quite right.Copy !req
347. In terms of a face, you have
the profile, and then the frontal...Copy !req
348. Most people think that the mid-point is
like this, but it's more like this one.Copy !req
349. I think the different blades aren't
visible enough at this angle.Copy !req
350. Good point!Copy !req
351. Let's adjust for that, then.Copy !req
352. How's that look? It seems more natural now.Copy !req
353. Yeah, it looks like it's spinning now.Copy !req
354. It's still lacking something, though...Copy !req
355. Yeah, it works, but it's got no impact.Copy !req
356. Some color would probably help, but...Copy !req
357. Maybe some shadows?
Some faint ones, from a distance...Copy !req
358. I think it needs wind.Copy !req
359. The windmill is turning,
but you can't see the wind.Copy !req
360. And wind... is visible?Copy !req
361. Some people depict wind like this,Copy !req
362. or by showing stuff being blown around by it.Copy !req
363. But as far as I'm concerned...Copy !req
364. The reason this windmill isn't spinning...Copy !req
365. is because that building is blocking the wind!Copy !req
366. Off we go, people!Copy !req
367. We're doing this right now?Copy !req
368. The sun's gonna set if we don't get a move on!Copy !req
369. Okay!Copy !req
370. The sun is going to set either way!Copy !req
371. You two get like this every time you're excited!Copy !req
372. Let's go!Copy !req
373. Run for it! It's gonna blow!Copy !req
374. Wouldn't the building collapse after that?Copy !req
375. It's fictional, so we'll be fine!Copy !req
376. Why would water come out of there, Asakusa?Copy !req
377. The whole area's flooded now.Copy !req
378. Makes me wish we had a boat.Copy !req
379. And just like that, a sailing
dinghy floats our way!Copy !req
380. Let's set out!Copy !req
381. It's huge!Copy !req
382. Hey!Copy !req
383. All right! Deploy the dagger board!Copy !req
384. We went up?Copy !req
385. This is our creation...Copy !req
386. The greatest windmill!Copy !req
387. Did we just draw this?Copy !req
388. Girls!Copy !req
389. I told you to take care of
your business quickly!Copy !req
390. Man, is it windy or what?Copy !req
391. Yahoo! I can hear it carrying my voice!Copy !req
392. And the rain hurts!Copy !req
