1. Once again, we're wrapping up
at the very last second.Copy !req
2. I'm glad we made it in time, though!Copy !req
3. Excuse me?Copy !req
4. Not being able to record the voice-overs
means we didn't make it in time.Copy !req
5. True...Copy !req
6. We'll have to do the dubbing live.Copy !req
7. All thanks to a certain someone
and their late animation.Copy !req
8. I can go ahead and record the performance,Copy !req
9. but there's a lot of echo
in the auditorium...Copy !req
10. I don't know if it'll be good
enough to use on the DVDs.Copy !req
11. I'm still worried about how Onocchy's
reads are gonna turn out.Copy !req
12. I'll go ahead and run it.Copy !req
13. What do you think, Asakusa?Copy !req
14. You haven't balanced it yet, right?Copy !req
15. Right. As it stands, only the timing is done.Copy !req
16. Although I was making adjustments
while it was playing...Copy !req
17. About the music in cut 6...
Does it seem out of sync to you?Copy !req
18. Probably because the action
on screen doesn't happenCopy !req
19. until after the music peaks.Copy !req
20. We could try delaying it.Copy !req
21. You mean offsetting it even
more from the action?Copy !req
22. Wouldn't that mess with the big hit?Copy !req
23. Let's see.Copy !req
24. I'm not sure why, but I think that's better!Copy !req
25. The music is setting the tone before
the action, and leading the audience along!Copy !req
26. There were a few spots where the music
and the action didn't have the right tone,Copy !req
27. where I was thinking we
could use different tracks.Copy !req
28. For cut 150 and 82...Copy !req
29. If we use the music from cut 24,Copy !req
30. we can create a motif linking
the different scenes.Copy !req
31. What do you think?Copy !req
32. Sounds like it might work. Let me try it.Copy !req
33. Something about the music for
cut 86 doesn't sit right with me.Copy !req
34. What if we dropped
the music for that part?Copy !req
35. You mean to put an emphasis
on the sound effects from 79?Copy !req
36. The animation is amazing for that part.
So by subtracting the music...Copy !req
37. So cool!Copy !req
38. That makes the scene really stand out!Copy !req
39. You're some kind of music master, Asakusa!Copy !req
40. We are so sorry.Copy !req
41. Who would've thought production
would end up canceledCopy !req
42. because the director and screenwriter
tried to murder a producer?Copy !req
43. It was supposed to be your first time
onscreen together in sixteen years, too.Copy !req
44. It's not that big a deal, right?Copy !req
45. Yeah. To be honest, we kind of saw this coming.Copy !req
46. We are so sorry!Copy !req
47. We can actually visit our daughter's
culture festival, thanks to this.Copy !req
48. We were onscreen together sixteen years ago,Copy !req
49. but we've never been to her cultural festival.Copy !req
50. We haven't exactly been the most...
present of parents for her.Copy !req
51. Being able to improvise a kettle
stand from pegs like this...Copy !req
52. Sometimes, I do impress myself.Copy !req
53. Well, here's to the culture
festival being a success!Copy !req
54. Let's eat!Copy !req
55. Unlike last time,Copy !req
56. we're going to need to attract an
audience for today's screening.Copy !req
57. I definitely want lots of people to watch it!Copy !req
58. That's part of it,Copy !req
59. but our primary objective
today is to score preordersCopy !req
60. for the DVD release after
the screening today.Copy !req
61. Again with the money...Copy !req
62. And that's why we need an audience.Copy !req
63. First, since it's summer, we'll need to
make sure our auditorium is nice and cool.Copy !req
64. Good idea.Copy !req
65. But I hear the HVAC club are
lackeys of the student council.Copy !req
66. It'll be fine. I've got
what I need to negotiate.Copy !req
67. But more important than even that...Copy !req
68. is the involvement of the popular
amateur model Tsubame Mizusaki,Copy !req
69. and how much we can
put her out in front of this.Copy !req
70. Whoa! Hang on!Copy !req
71. That makes it sounds like the anime
would be playing second fiddleCopy !req
72. to Tsubame Mizusaki!Copy !req
73. What're you talking about?Copy !req
74. We're using you along with
air-conditioning to get peopleCopy !req
75. to pay attention to the anime,Copy !req
76. not the other way around. Right?Copy !req
77. I-I guess, but...Copy !req
78. We're going to win over the people who
came to see you with the anime's quality.Copy !req
79. Which we can't do if they won't show up.Copy !req
80. And if the short is good enough,
they're bound to preorder the DVD.Copy !req
81. That's a lot of extra responsibility..Copy !req
82. We've got a big spotlight that'll
allow us to draw plenty of attention.Copy !req
83. We need to use that to our
advantage as much as possible.Copy !req
84. Whether we like it or not,Copy !req
85. if it benefits our production situation
in the long run, we need to do it.Copy !req
86. I'm kinda worriedCopy !req
87. my parents might find out if
I draw too much attention, though.Copy !req
88. Oh, right, if your parents find out...Copy !req
89. Huh? Asakusa...Copy !req
90. You're holding your chopsticks kind of weird.Copy !req
91. You can actually grab stuff like that?Copy !req
92. I think I'll be our poster girl after all.Copy !req
93. My parents found out I didn't go home today.Copy !req
94. You didn't tell them?Copy !req
95. If they knew I was working
on the culture festival,Copy !req
96. they'd want to know specifics...Copy !req
97. And they just told me... that they're coming.Copy !req
98. Wh-What?Copy !req
99. But if they find out, you won't be
able to make anime anymore, Mizusaki!Copy !req
100. KeepCopy !req
101. YourCopy !req
102. HandsCopy !req
103. OffCopy !req
104. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!Copy !req
105. Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!Copy !req
106. Are you sure about this, Mizusaki?Copy !req
107. I don't care if they find out anymore!
My family situation can suck it!Copy !req
108. If they're coming, then bring 'em on!
I'll give them a real eyeful!Copy !req
109. Besides, if I can't bring in
a crowd for this screening,Copy !req
110. we're at a dead end anyway!Copy !req
111. Hell yeah! You'll have our
full support as backup!Copy !req
112. For once, we're gonna
tackle things with spirit!Copy !req
113. Spirit, spirit, spirit, go!Copy !req
114. We've already lost the chance
to form a line, though...Copy !req
115. It's like everyone's putting
on a spirited show.Copy !req
116. Our electromagnetic amoeba!Copy !req
117. I'm the best there is! No. 1 in the biz!Copy !req
118. Hot, hot, hot! That radish is too...Copy !req
119. Anyone want some shaved ice?Copy !req
120. We're the eizouken! Please check us out!Copy !req
121. Tsubame Mizusaki has worked on an anime—Copy !req
122. Please come by!Copy !req
123. We've got anime!Copy !req
124. Tsubame Mizusaki will be appearing at—Copy !req
125. Even the people who'd come to see
you won't notice us at this rate.Copy !req
126. Thank you for your service!Copy !req
127. The robot club?Copy !req
128. The prep took longer than anticipated.Copy !req
129. Hey, what's that?Copy !req
130. What the...Copy !req
131. Count down along with us!Copy !req
132. Ten! Nine!Copy !req
133. Eight! Seven! Six! Five!Copy !req

135. Fire!Copy !req
136. A robot anime featuring Tsubame MizusakiCopy !req
137. will be screening in Auditorium No. 1!Copy !req
138. I made an anime! Come check it out!Copy !req
139. I'll also be greeting the audience!Copy !req
140. Wait, isn't that...Copy !req
141. It's really her!Copy !req
142. Tsubame Mizusaki!Copy !req
143. She's so cute!Copy !req
144. Dang...Copy !req
145. Man, celebs have it easy.Copy !req
146. I thought there was a ban on megaphones?Copy !req
147. It's nice and cool inside! Care to join us?Copy !req
148. So she gets away with it because she's famous?Copy !req
149. Let's leave this to Mizusaki
and the robot club.Copy !req
150. We need to cover the rest of the campus.Copy !req
151. Roger!Copy !req
152. What about twenty-two?Copy !req
153. Is that number your idea of a joke?
Because I'm not here for comedy.Copy !req
154. You'd better watch your mouth.Copy !req
155. Who do you think you are?Copy !req
156. Wait.Copy !req
157. How about it? Twenty-one suit you better?Copy !req
158. Eighteen.Copy !req
159. Twenty.Copy !req
160. Sixteen, then.Copy !req
161. Nineteen!Copy !req
162. I said sixteen.Copy !req
163. You dirty, rotten...Copy !req
164. We've got a deal, then.Copy !req
165. President, why?Copy !req
166. It's ecologically criminal!Copy !req
167. And if the student council
finds out, we'll be in huge trouble!Copy !req
168. You're all guilty, too!Copy !req
169. If these pictures get out, we're done for!Copy !req
170. Damn it! She's a monster! A devil!Copy !req
171. Autographs will be available
at the screening!Copy !req
172. This is a handshake-only promotion!Copy !req
173. Head to the auditorium if you want more!Copy !req
174. Please don't crowd together!Copy !req
175. Proceed into school grounds.Copy !req
176. The use of megaphones and aerial
accoutrements is forbidden!Copy !req
177. What were you going to do if you
hit someone with that rocket?Copy !req
178. Mizusaki of the eizouken, you're under
arrest as the ringleader!Copy !req
179. This is a promotion by the robot club!Copy !req
180. The responsibility lies with us!Copy !req
181. Everyone, head on over to
Auditorium No. 1 and shake hands with me!Copy !req
182. Mizusaki...Copy !req
183. Here. Kanamori gave the order.Copy !req
184. We're all going to protect you, so don't worry.Copy !req
185. Thank you...Copy !req
186. Anything for the robot anime's screening.Copy !req
187. Where's Mizusaki?Copy !req
188. I don't know.Copy !req
189. You're in the robot club,
but I don't see any cardboard.Copy !req
190. There!Copy !req
191. Mizusaki, excellent work.Copy !req
192. Now you just need to make
it to the auditorium.Copy !req
193. Is this gonna work?Copy !req
194. Keep going ahead. I'll direct you.Copy !req
195. Anyone in a cardboard robot is on our side.Copy !req
196. Watch out for the security club.Copy !req
197. Get down.Copy !req
198. Head down those stairs.Copy !req
199. Stop!Copy !req
200. Okay. Keep going, and then head
into the hall on your left.Copy !req
201. I've got her!Copy !req
202. We've apprehended a robot.Copy !req
203. Get that one, too!Copy !req
204. We've caught a robot we believe to be Mizusaki.Copy !req
205. We've also caught one of the Mizusaki robots.Copy !req
206. Same here.Copy !req
207. We've spotted a crowd of them!Copy !req
208. We'll move to apprehend them—Copy !req
209. We've restrained one.Copy !req
210. Got another one here.Copy !req
211. Should we pursue?Copy !req
212. How many people are even in the eizouken?Copy !req
213. Catch them all!Copy !req
214. You're under arrest!Copy !req
215. Paper robot costumes are available

217. and you'll receive some
special Tsubame merchandise!Copy !req
218. Huh, it takes place at the school?Copy !req
219. Yes. With a few alterations, but...Copy !req
220. Sounds like fun!Copy !req
221. And to think a girl like her
is making a robot anime!Copy !req
222. I'm in!Copy !req
223. Th-Thanks for your interest.Copy !req
224. Bring them all in.Copy !req
225. This is oppression by the majority—Copy !req

227. They're not coming off!Copy !req
228. Some of them might not be students.Copy !req
229. Don't get too rough.Copy !req
230. He's getting away! After him!Copy !req
231. My soul, dadada! A body of iron, dadada!Copy !req
232. An invincible body with a steel
heart fighting to the end, dadada!Copy !req
233. Dun dun dun dun,
machines have no tears to shed!Copy !req
234. Ono... he's powering up!Copy !req
235. But you can see the passion
welling up inside!Copy !req
236. We'll deal with them later!Copy !req
237. Go, Ono!Copy !req
238. Passion!Copy !req
239. Boy, that takes me back.Copy !req
240. So cool!Copy !req
241. Huh, an anime screening?Copy !req
242. Let's check it out!Copy !req
243. Sounds good.Copy !req
244. Here he comes!Copy !req
245. Welcome!Copy !req
246. Super Wing!Copy !req
247. Easy does it!Copy !req
248. What the heck?Copy !req
249. What's his deal?Copy !req
250. Holy moly!Copy !req
251. Touchdown!Copy !req
252. I'm gonna check your show out!Copy !req
253. Good luck!Copy !req
254. That's a big crowd!Copy !req
255. Mission accomplished.Copy !req
256. Where's Asakusa?Copy !req
257. She's still passing out
fliers near the entrance.Copy !req
258. She should be on her way back in.Copy !req
259. Mizusaki! We need you
standing by at stage left.Copy !req
260. I did it... I've done it!Copy !req
261. I did it!Copy !req
262. You're not done yet.Copy !req
263. The show's about to start!Copy !req
264. I remember you!Copy !req
265. Men in black!Copy !req
266. Get back here!Copy !req
267. Hang on a sec.Copy !req
268. The robot club has holed up
inside Auditorium No. 1.Copy !req
269. Should we breach?Copy !req
270. We can't take them in if
they're inside the venue.Copy !req
271. Nail them as soon as they set foot outside!Copy !req
272. Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap!Copy !req
273. I just handed a flier to some men
in black and Mizusaki's parents!Copy !req
274. They're already here.Copy !req
275. It's almost time.Copy !req
276. The robot study club will now
begin the screening of its anime!Copy !req
277. This should be good!Copy !req
278. It's Tsubame Mizusaki!Copy !req
279. Tsubame!Copy !req
280. There she is!Copy !req
281. We're so sorry. We tried to stop her, but...Copy !req
282. They did?Copy !req
283. It was my idea. I wanted to get
Tsubame's mind off of anime.Copy !req
284. You wanted her to be an actress, remember?Copy !req
285. I am really excited for this.Copy !req
286. Now!Copy !req
287. Wait, it's not—Copy !req
288. Please enjoy!Copy !req
289. Hey, that's really Shibahama! Cool!Copy !req
290. Look at them eat!Copy !req
291. Why so much crab?Copy !req
292. Look at that...Copy !req
293. Vibrations have been detected
in the underground pit.Copy !req
294. A monster resembling a crab has appeared.Copy !req
295. I repeat, a monster resembling
a crab has appeared...Copy !req
296. Open it up... Easy does it...Copy !req
297. Head directly to the subterranean waterway.Copy !req
298. The target is on a slow and steady
course through the underground.Copy !req
299. Recoil starter!Copy !req
300. That running...Copy !req
301. It's Tsubame.Copy !req
302. A cooling fan is down, and the movement
software isn't coming online!Copy !req
303. Wh-What? Manual control?Copy !req
304. You remember how Tsubame's
always been good at dancing?Copy !req
305. She'd mimic what she saw on TV.Copy !req
306. Yeah. She used to imitate
how her grandma moved, too.Copy !req
307. And that bit before...Copy !req
308. She was always analyzing and
repeating things she saw.Copy !req
309. I always thought it was brilliant.Copy !req
310. But at some point...Copy !req
311. She started having more fun
recreating the movementsCopy !req
312. she saw with art, rather than with her body.Copy !req
313. I think her real talent is her eye for detail.Copy !req
314. And even without the help of their parents...Copy !req
315. Kids will still grow up.Copy !req
316. There's real ingenuity to all this.Copy !req
317. I've been on her case about
becoming an actress, but...Copy !req
318. Tsubame is already a fine performer.Copy !req
319. Tsubame!Copy !req
320. Tsubame!Copy !req
321. Preorder your DVD now and you'll get a bonus!Copy !req
322. Want!Copy !req
323. I gotta get that bonus!Copy !req
324. Please line up!Copy !req
325. An invincible body and a steel heart!Copy !req
326. You don't get in line, you don't get the bonus!Copy !req
327. That was amazing!Copy !req
328. Really? Thank you so much!Copy !req
329. Thanks for coming by!Copy !req
330. We'll take it from here.Copy !req
331. Head out the back and grab
us some lunch, please.Copy !req
332. Yeah! Thanks.Copy !req
333. We've got plenty to go around.Copy !req
334. And if you preorder now, you can get an
autographed picture of Tsubame Mizusaki!Copy !req
335. Go ahead and put down your name and
address on the form while you're in line.Copy !req
336. Cash only.Copy !req
337. Four, please.Copy !req
338. That'll be 1,600 yen.Copy !req
339. Let me get that.Copy !req
340. Hey.Copy !req
341. Say... have you ever been
satisfied with a performance?Copy !req
342. I haven't.Copy !req
343. Me neither.Copy !req
344. I see.Copy !req
345. I realized something working on it.Copy !req
346. That to me, life is about
working on stuff like this.Copy !req
347. And there's nothing I can do about that, now.Copy !req
348. I need to take this to the others!Copy !req
349. What did you think of my animation?Copy !req
350. Real explosions give off a different impression.Copy !req
351. And the way they held those chopsticks...Copy !req
352. You could've told me sooner!
I didn't find out until this morning!Copy !req
353. But... it was some fine acting.Copy !req
354. Just what I'd expect from a couple
of actors. You know what to look for!Copy !req
355. Sorry about the wait!Copy !req
356. Mizusaki!Copy !req
357. There were a ton of preorders for the DVDs.Copy !req
358. And we ran out of all the
pictures we had prepared.Copy !req
359. Despite the reception, I feel like I'm
only satisfied with 20% of what we did.Copy !req
360. Again?Copy !req
361. It might've been more impressive
with more long shots...Copy !req
362. And a more detailed
background during the sceneCopy !req
363. with the wall collapsing would've
added to the sense of scale—Copy !req
364. Are you Tsubame's friends?Copy !req
365. N-No, ma'am...Copy !req
366. We're her comrades!Copy !req
