464. Just where were you?Copy !req
465. Here are souvenirs.Copy !req
466. Hawaii?Copy !req
467. Yes, on Kauiai.Copy !req
468. Well, I haven't been able to get any work done.Copy !req
469. That's why I thought of needing to travel.Copy !req
470. So, you can say I went on a vacation and now doing interviews?Copy !req
471. A week in Hawaii at this time of year?Copy !req
472. No, no. I had to travel and everything.Copy !req
473. To be honest, I was only able to stay there for about five days.Copy !req
474. I couldn't take my time at all.Copy !req
475. You should have called me...Copy !req
476. I was watching anime at the airport and my phone ran out of charge.Copy !req
477. And, and, and, and!Copy !req
478. Here.Copy !req
479. Those are storyboards till episode 11.Copy !req
480. I'll think about the last episode now.Copy !req
481. Let's go then.Copy !req
482. Now for the main event of the Spring Anime Festival!Copy !req
483. Director Oji Chiharu, the genius who will be facing off in Saturday 5PM time slot,Copy !req
484. talks with the much talked-about new director Saito Hitomi.Copy !req
485. Then first, Director Saito, please come to the stage.Copy !req
486. To continue, we ask Director Oji Chiharu to the stage!Copy !req
487. Please take a seat.Copy !req
488. To start, let's watch the introductory videosCopy !req
489. while they discuss about their works.Copy !req
490. Kindly go ahead, Director Saito.Copy !req
491. Okay.Copy !req
492. Please play it.Copy !req
493. Let's see...Copy !req
494. "The Stone of Kanade" is aboutCopy !req
495. the stone called, Kanade.Copy !req
496. And using the power of sound memoryCopy !req
497. to create robots. And that robot appears in the anime...Copy !req
498. Um... Yes...Copy !req
499. Okay.Copy !req
500. What do you by chance mean "the power of sound memory?"Copy !req
501. Um...Copy !req
502. For example, the protagonists hear the sound of wind chimes.Copy !req
503. From the memories associated with that soundCopy !req
504. the Kanade stone creates the robot.Copy !req
505. The name of that robot is Soundback.Copy !req
506. The main characters, Towako and her friends ride and fight with it.Copy !req
507. There are 12 episodes.Copy !req
508. Each episode featuring a different robot, so please look forward to it.Copy !req
509. Okay, it sure sounds like Tokei anime.Copy !req
510. You can say it's a refreshing and traditional robot anime were boys and girls play active roles.Copy !req
511. Wait, it's not really...Copy !req
512. To continue,Copy !req
513. thank you everyone for your patience.Copy !req
514. Here's Director Oji to explain his anime.Copy !req
515. Director?Copy !req
516. Then, please continue.Copy !req
517. Want it?Copy !req
518. Do you want power?Copy !req
519. It's unavoidable.Copy !req
520. Change your fate.Copy !req
521. Your own power.Copy !req
522. Live!Copy !req
523. There is only one person in the worldCopy !req
524. who can make you despair.Copy !req
525. "Fatal Front Liddell-light" isCopy !req
526. a motorcycle-themed magical girl anime.Copy !req
527. The main character, Juri, transforms her motorcycle with the power of her soulCopy !req
528. and competes in races against her rivals.Copy !req
529. So, the main character is 6 years old at the beginning,Copy !req
530. but she gets older by one year every episode. In other words,Copy !req
531. She is a growing heroine.Copy !req
532. Anyway, you mean there's gonna be 12 different robots?Copy !req
533. Yes.Copy !req
534. Wow, that sounds interesting.Copy !req
535. It is interesting. It's just doesn't sounds interesting.Copy !req
536. Wow, that's wonderful.Copy !req
537. In the previous series, "Yosuga of Light,"Copy !req
538. the director was also known for being handsome.Copy !req
539. But rumor has it that you were going to kill the main character in the final episode.Copy !req
540. Indeed. But they wouldn't let me kill her.Copy !req
541. But now's not the time to about it.Copy !req
542. Of course, and that's not all.Copy !req
543. But since "Yosuga," anime has really been amazing.Copy !req
544. It is changing from being something for nerds and a few fansCopy !req
545. to something for normal person in general.Copy !req
546. Furthermore, the term "full nerdification of 100 million" has even been coined.Copy !req
547. But what do you, as a director think?Copy !req
548. What's the heck is that?Copy !req
549. Is there really such a phrase?Copy !req
550. Ah... yes.Copy !req
551. That's probably from the higher ups.Copy !req
552. Right?Copy !req
553. You know...Copy !req
554. In this world, there is no such thing as a "normal person."Copy !req
555. Also, I don't care if my workCopy !req
556. is for a few fans or nerds, as long as they need it.Copy !req
557. If it's broadcast, it's not mine anymore.Copy !req
558. It's only for that people who saw it.Copy !req
559. While the real people were trying to get dates and sex in real life,Copy !req
560. what would happen if I was a virgin for the rest of my life while laying awake at night worrying.Copy !req
561. And I spent my youth jerking off to numerous anime characters.Copy !req
562. But I know Kusanagi Motoko and Belldandy, and I won't let anyone tell me that my "uncommon" life is unhappy!Copy !req
563. It's not dark, nor sad.Copy !req
564. And much less an escape from reality.Copy !req
565. If they need my work as part of their strength to survive this reality,Copy !req
566. then I would like to love them like they're my own brother.Copy !req
567. That's because I've also been there.Copy !req
568. So, instead of the abstract expression like "nerdification of 100 million ordinary people,"Copy !req
569. I'll be happy if I can work for such people.Copy !req
570. Director Saito.Copy !req
571. You admired Director Oji's "Yosuga of Light."Copy !req
572. That's why you resigned from public service and got into this industry, right?Copy !req
573. Yes.Copy !req
574. I was never interested in anime as a child.Copy !req
575. I always thought that only some girls with pretty faces in beautiful houses were chosen to be magical girls from the very beginning.Copy !req
576. But...Copy !req
577. "Yosuga" was different.Copy !req
578. The main character is an ordinary child who lives in an apartment complex.Copy !req
579. It's just like when I was a kid.Copy !req
580. It was only after seeing "Yosuga" that my life has meaning.Copy !req
581. And was cast a magic spell.Copy !req
582. I got into this industryCopy !req
583. to create works that would cast a spell on those who see it.Copy !req
584. That's whyCopy !req
585. I'm honored that my work is in the same time slot behind with Director Oji, whom I adore.Copy !req
586. Thank you very much.Copy !req
587. But yours is the one behind the time slot.Copy !req
588. Mine is the one in front.Copy !req
589. I think that's for the viewers to decide.Copy !req
590. True.Copy !req
591. Then I'll let the viewers decide which anime is in the front.Copy !req
592. I won't lose!Copy !req
593. What? Is that a sudden declaration of victory?Copy !req
594. That's right.Copy !req
595. I will win everything from the ratings for this season.Copy !req
596. I will reign supreme!Copy !req
597. Then I can't lose either if she declares that with such a cute face.Copy !req
598. I'm sorry that it's your first series to direct.Copy !req
599. I'm sorry, too.Copy !req
600. To think it's your comeback series.Copy !req
601. Anyway...Copy !req
602. Before the competition starts, please shake each other's hands...Copy !req
603. No.Copy !req
604. Then, ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
605. Please give them a warm round of applause!Copy !req
606. Director Saito seems tough.Copy !req
607. Is it okay if I would kill the main character in the last episode?Copy !req
608. What?Copy !req
609. I was thinking if I would want to kill her properly.Copy !req
610. The 5:00 PM time slot is where children watch.Copy !req
611. Really?Copy !req
612. So you're the kind who changes the content depending on the time slot.Copy !req
613. I said too much...Copy !req
614. Chichibu, the setting of "Soundback," has offered to host a pilgrimage to the place.Copy !req
615. The meeting is at 10:00 AM tomorrow.Copy !req
616. I can only think of winning against Director Oji.Copy !req
617. Then please look over this materialCopy !req
618. and summarize your opinions on an A4 sheet of paper by tomorrow.Copy !req
619. Why me?Copy !req
620. Why me?Copy !req
621. Saitama Prefecture - Chichibu
Animation Studio Fine GardenCopy !req
622. Please!Copy !req
623. The local government also approved it.Copy !req
624. Of course, you, our ace, should participate here.Copy !req
625. If you could...Copy !req
626. No, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
627. How many times have people asked me a favor this year?Copy !req
628. I've drawn for "Liddell-light" and "Soundback."Copy !req
629. And the other day, they asked me to draw for "Animezon."Copy !req
630. Uh... Well...Copy !req

638. Stamp rally...Copy !req
639. It's so cliche...Copy !req
640. I apologize for the inconvenience.Copy !req
641. I believed he would come back from the start.Copy !req
642. So...Copy !req
643. Actually, I was wondering if I could talk to you about the last episode.Copy !req
644. The genius, Oji Chiharu,Copy !req
645. would probably thinking of an epic last episode.Copy !req
646. If for example...Copy !req
647. What would you think if the protagonist dies...?Copy !req
648. What?Copy !req
649. The protagonist dies.Copy !req
650. What day and time slot is "Liddell?"Copy !req
651. It will air on Saturdays, 5PM.Copy !req
652. Do protagonists in anime die in that time slot?Copy !req
653. They don't.Copy !req
654. Right...Copy !req
655. You've got your answer.Copy !req
656. - There will be viewings here.
- I see.Copy !req
657. This room will have "Soundback" and that one over there will be "Liddell."Copy !req
658. So both will be viewed at the same time.Copy !req
659. First Broadcast Viewing of "Fate Front Liddell-light" and "Soundback"Copy !req
660. Okay.Copy !req
661. Can I come in?Copy !req

669. Why the heck did you just come in? How dare you!Copy !req
670. This is... dammit... an invasion of privacy!Copy !req
671. Idiot! Die!Copy !req
672. Where did you really go?Copy !req
673. I was in a hotel.Copy !req
674. A hotel in Tokyo!Copy !req
675. Why?Copy !req
676. You know...Copy !req
677. Do you understand the pressure to create something that doesn't exist?Copy !req
678. I know it seems like an easy thing to do.Copy !req
679. The fact that people think it's easy is already putting me under pressure. It's stressful.Copy !req
680. Scripts and storyboards are nonexistent.Copy !req
681. Scripts and storyboards can only progress by steadily working at a desk.Copy !req
682. No matter how much I hate it, no matter how bored I get.Copy !req
683. Even if it's not flashy.Copy !req
684. All I can do is sit here all the time, facing a paper or a computer.Copy !req
685. The wall of a drawing can only be crossed by a drawing.Copy !req
686. I wouldn't die for a change of scenery.Copy !req

697. Mr. Yukishiro, what do you think of my work?Copy !req
698. That's quite a vague question.Copy !req
699. You think it's interesting?Copy !req
700. Will you be convinced if I answer that it's interesting?Copy !req
701. You don't think it is?Copy !req
702. There are works that are interesting but not hits, and there are hits that are not interesting.Copy !req
703. Which one is "Soundback?"Copy !req
704. No matter what anyone says, you create works that you believe in.Copy !req
705. I thought you're that kind of director.Copy !req
706. I'm sorry I'm not that kind of a director.Copy !req
707. - Wait, are you angry?
- I'm not angry.Copy !req
708. - Where are you going?

726. What a small town.Copy !req
727. I'm going to get out of here one day, I swear.Copy !req
728. But I don't hate it.Copy !req
729. You can say that because you're from somewhere else.Copy !req
730. Come on, guys. Let's go!Copy !req
731. Whoa!Copy !req
732. It's going to collapse here too!Copy !req

807. It was interesting.Copy !req
808. I'm giving you something in return.Copy !req
809. Things aren't going well with her, right?Copy !req
810. Mureno Aoi?Copy !req
811. Ah...Copy !req
812. Did you checked her Instagram or Twitter?Copy !req
813. "If you don't open your heart, the Evangelion will not move."Copy !req
814. Thanks!Copy !req
815. Excuse me, I'm looking for a place to put the stamp stand for the stamp rally.Copy !req
816. Um, may I take a look around here?Copy !req
817. - Go on.
- May I? Thank you.Copy !req
818. Mr. Munemori.Copy !req
819. Yes?Copy !req
820. What kind of anime did you like as a kid?Copy !req
821. Ah, I watched Dragon Ball when I was a kid.Copy !req
822. But one way or the other, I preferred to play outside.Copy !req
823. Right?Copy !req
824. So you're more or less a "normie."Copy !req
825. What? Did you say something?Copy !req
826. Ah, nothing.Copy !req
827. Um, why a stamp rally?Copy !req
828. Well...Copy !req
829. I don't know much about anime, so I tried to study it on my own.Copy !req
830. There's Oarai in Ibaraki.Copy !req
831. And Hida in Gifu.Copy !req
832. There's also Shiga's Inukami County, and so on. I visited around those places and asked.Copy !req
833. So I thought I'd start with a stamp rally.Copy !req
834. I want to keep it going for a long time.Copy !req
835. I see.Copy !req
836. Huh? Huh?Copy !req
837. Ah?Copy !req
838. Hey! Hey!Copy !req
839. - Hey, we're here!

844. I'm working right now!Copy !req
845. I have that one too.Copy !req
846. Look.Copy !req
847. Episode 3: Liddell-light wins by 2% in ratings!Copy !req
848. It's Oji Chiharu for sure.Copy !req
849. Right? I was gonna say the same thing.Copy !req
850. Isn't "Liddell-light" amazing?Copy !req
851. Yeah, "Liddell-light" is amazing.Copy !req
852. I know, right?Copy !req
853. "Liddell-light" is a lot of fun. As for "Soundback", not so much.Copy !req
854. Frankly, they need to change things up a bit.Copy !req
855. Well, it doesn't look good.Copy !req
856. I know, I know.Copy !req
857. "Liddell-light" is very interesting.Copy !req
858. And "Soundback" feels like it's second-guessing...Copy !req
859. It lacks that power and anticipation.Copy !req
860. I know, I know.Copy !req
861. It's a little subtle...Copy !req
862. Hello! This is Burnes Style!Copy !req
863. It's a boxing exercise named Burnes Style.Copy !req
864. We're currently campaigning! Hello! We're Burnes Style~!Copy !req

866. Give me your sound.Copy !req
867. I'll give you anything!Copy !req
868. "I'll fry anything!"Copy !req
869. If anything fried...Copy !req
870. It's incredibly delicious!Copy !req
871. - What is this?
- A collaboration with the anime, "Soundback!"Copy !req
872. It's delicious!Copy !req
873. What's this?Copy !req
874. Where is Mr. Yukishiro?Copy !req
875. I don't know...Copy !req
876. I was against it from the start.Copy !req
877. She's a novice and a girl director.Copy !req
878. Well, she is doing her best.Copy !req
879. Anyone can do their best.Copy !req
880. We have to get results. We're professionals.Copy !req
881. Hmmm... She's just a sub.Copy !req
882. There won't be a next time.Copy !req
883. I'd feel sorry for her if she flops on such a big stage.Copy !req
884. Sadly, this is war.Copy !req
885. Lieutenant!Copy !req
886. It's pretty good, isn't it? It's pretty close.Copy !req
887. I wonder how it will go...Copy !req
888. Just who are we fighting?Copy !req
889. Say, Towako.Copy !req
890. Hmm?Copy !req
891. Are you hiding something?Copy !req
892. I wouldn't hide anything.Copy !req
893. Episode 6 Liddell-light is far ahead!Copy !req
894. It wouldn't be a game if there were no winners and losers, would it?Copy !req
895. It'll just be passing the cards around.Copy !req
896. I don't mind at all.Copy !req
897. We just pass the cards around and chat.Copy !req
898. I'll give you a bonus for losing...Copy !req
899. How's the ending going?Copy !req
900. Well, I am wondering.Copy !req
901. What do you mean?Copy !req
902. How should I kill her?Copy !req
903. Tell me how I should kill her.Copy !req
904. Huh? The girl just now is...Copy !req
905. What? Did you see something by any chance?Copy !req
906. UFO? A ghost?Copy !req
907. This must have been tedious to make.Copy !req
908. Ms. Namisawa.Copy !req
909. Can I ask you a question?Copy !req
910. Sure.Copy !req
911. Um, the "normie" word you used awhile ago...Copy !req
912. I'm pretty sure that's...Copy !req
913. The term used to refer to people who are only fulfilled in real life, right?Copy !req
914. Real life? Only?Copy !req
915. You and everyone here,Copy !req
916. unlike me, have a wealth of places outside the real world of your imagination.Copy !req
917. Sure, I only have real life.Copy !req
918. Maybe I'm justified in thinking you don't understand.Copy !req
919. For "Soundback" to be seen by many...Copy !req
920. As much as possible, I would like to...Copy !req
921. Hey. Wait a minute.Copy !req
922. Huh?Copy !req
923. Um, you have a different understanding of a "normie."Copy !req
924. Huh?Copy !req
925. It's not a bad word, and it's not the kind of word I'd use to express modesty.Copy !req
926. If you'd rather use it to describe yourself, it's kind of a nuisance...Copy !req
927. Ahh! I see.Copy !req
928. No, no, no. I thought you were making fun of me for being so thin and insubstantial.Copy !req
929. Of course not...Copy !req
930. That's not it.Copy !req
931. I am relieved.Copy !req
932. If you don't hate me, all the better.Copy !req
933. Uh... yeah.Copy !req
934. Change the entire current scene.Copy !req
935. Okay.Copy !req
936. Any more and Fine Garden will quit.Copy !req
937. It's impossible to make this kind of revision now.Copy !req
938. No studio would be willing to do it!Copy !req
939. Then find a new company.Copy !req
940. I won't be able to find a new company!Copy !req
941. Then this series is over, huh?Copy !req
942. There's no need for a last episode.Copy !req
943. Somehow it makes me feel a lot better. Thank you for your hard work.Copy !req
944. Are you messing around?Copy !req
945. That's my line.Copy !req
946. I didn't think you had that level of determination.Copy !req
947. What do you mean? Do you understand how much I...!Copy !req
948. No matter how hard you worked...Copy !req
949. If you put something out you don't agree with, you're finished.Copy !req
950. Can we stop this kind of promotion already?Copy !req
951. Is it alright for you that people don't watch it?Copy !req
952. I say there are more important things to do for that.Copy !req
953. I see~Copy !req
954. Do you think you can get ratings if you make a good series?Copy !req
955. Of course.Copy !req
956. That would certainly be ideal, though.Copy !req
957. Then, what do you consider to be an "anime that gets ratings?"Copy !req
958. It's an anime that reaches viewers.Copy !req
959. By any means possible, get them to see it once and be interested in it.Copy !req
960. It's only then that the quality of the work is put to the test.Copy !req
961. Is Soundback reaching that audience?Copy !req
962. I don't know about that.Copy !req
963. - Huh?
- Don't you get it?Copy !req
964. Director Saito.Copy !req
965. Bringing anime to the viewers is not an easy task.Copy !req
966. We show it a hundred ways and showing them one way is already good.Copy !req
967. Do we have to go along with those useless 99 ways?Copy !req
968. That's the way I do it.Copy !req
969. Hello, this is Yukishiro. Thank you for calling back.Copy !req
970. - Hey...
- Please wait.Copy !req
971. Hitomi?Copy !req
972. Are you also running away?Copy !req
973. Hey.Copy !req
974. I would never do that!Copy !req
975. It doesn't matter just because I'm a substitute.Copy !req
976. We're going to beat Director Oji.Copy !req
977. I've come this far to do that!Copy !req
978. Why can't you even understand that!Copy !req
979. Sorry to keep you waiting.Copy !req
980. Please proceed.Copy !req
981. Why do you want to surpass Director Oji?Copy !req
982. If I can make the work that exceeds Director Oji,Copy !req
983. I think I would be able to reach a kid like me.Copy !req
984. A kid like you?Copy !req
985. I rejected the magic stick.Copy !req
986. When I was a kid, a friend of mine tried to give to me...Copy !req
987. I thought there was no such thing as magic in the real world.Copy !req
988. But I was taught by Director Oji.Copy !req
989. There may not be any magicCopy !req
990. but in anime,Copy !req
991. there can be a power beyond magic that can be given.Copy !req
992. That's why I came this far.Copy !req
993. Ah! No! No! No! Oh, no!Copy !req
994. No! Turn on, turn on, turn on...Copy !req
995. What?Copy !req
996. One, two! One, two! Come on!Copy !req
997. One, two. One, two...Copy !req
998. Focus. One, two. One, two.Copy !req
999. Good, good. One, two. One, two...Copy !req
1000. Last one. Ready! Last one!Copy !req
1001. One, two, three, four, five! Fight! Go!Copy !req
1002. One, two, three, four, five! Fight!Copy !req
1003. One, two, three, four, five! Fight!Copy !req
1004. Good! Good! Good! Next!Copy !req
1005. Two, one, four, three, six! Six, Go!Copy !req
1006. Two, one, four, three, six! Six!Copy !req
1007. Last one! Keep going!Copy !req
1008. Two, one, four, three, six! Six!Copy !req
1009. Good Good! Okay, Finish!Copy !req
1010. Ah...Copy !req
1011. Ah...Copy !req
1012. "Baths are the washing of..."Copy !req
1013. "... life.", isn't it?Copy !req
1014. Those punches were great.Copy !req
1015. That's Dezaki's direction.Copy !req
1016. Ah, you can tell?Copy !req
1017. Yes.Copy !req
1018. You said that you joined the industry after watching Director Oji's "Yosuga of Light."Copy !req
1019. Yes. 7 years ago.Copy !req
1020. So it has been 7 years...Copy !req
1021. I came across "Yosuga of Light" by accident.Copy !req
1022. If I had seen it as a child, my life would have changed by centimeters...Copy !req
1023. maybe millimeters, but certainly faster and richer.Copy !req
1024. Me too.Copy !req
1025. I was already doing the job I'm doing now.Copy !req
1026. I never thought I'd feel this way again.Copy !req
1027. Ever since then, my goal has been to work with Director Oji.Copy !req
1028. But when I'm doing it now...Copy !req
1029. I feel the same...Copy !req
1030. But directors are really amazing.Copy !req
1031. Aren't they like gods who make a whole new world?Copy !req
1032. Newcomers and veterans are the same when they are doing work.Copy !req
1033. If Director Oji is going to cut down his soul, I have no choice but to cut down my soul, my body, and my sleep.Copy !req
1034. If we lose here...Copy !req
1035. This may be the last time I make anime.Copy !req
1036. There are no second chances.Copy !req
1037. That's how I see it, and that's why I'm here now.Copy !req
1038. I'm sorry. I'll go on ahead.Copy !req
1039. Director Saito.Copy !req
1040. Yes?Copy !req
1041. We won't lose.Copy !req
1042. As the producer...Copy !req
1043. The staff, the voice actors, and everyone...Copy !req
1044. We will deliver our work as much as the director does.Copy !req
1045. Bye.Copy !req
1046. Mureno AoiCopy !req
1047. Ah...Copy !req
1048. I beg you!Copy !req
1049. We can't. We can't do any more than that.Copy !req
1050. I beg you!Copy !req
1051. We want to make a series without regrets!Copy !req
1052. Oji clung to his desk and created "Liddell"Copy !req
1053. in a way that couldn't be more convincing!Copy !req
1054. I'm sorry, but...Copy !req
1055. I'll do it.Copy !req
1056. Huh?Copy !req
1057. I'll do it.Copy !req
1058. Why did you accept the job?Copy !req
1059. Has anyone ever come all the way down here and bowed down to you?Copy !req
1060. I'm sorry. My apologies. Yes.Copy !req
1061. None.Copy !req
1062. Let's see, for tomorrow's...Copy !req
1063. If the producer is serious,Copy !req
1064. we have to be more serious.Copy !req
1065. Because it is our role to enrich other places besides the real one.Copy !req
1066. Right, right.Copy !req
1067. "How could I forget?"Copy !req
1068. "I won't forget you."Copy !req
1069. Director...Copy !req
1070. I'm sorry!Copy !req
1071. Ah...Copy !req
1072. So you went to see the location of Soundback.Copy !req
1073. To think you searched hard to find Towako's voice...Copy !req
1074. that I said too much...Copy !req
1075. You wanted it to resemble your old self, right?Copy !req
1076. You wanted to create such an animeCopy !req
1077. that will remain in the memories of children, that will one day become a source of emotional support.Copy !req
1078. Right?Copy !req
1079. Mr. Yukishiro told me.Copy !req
1080. Mr. Yukishiro said that?Copy !req
1081. I know how you feel.Copy !req
1082. Because I also had those anime.Copy !req
1083. If that's the case, I have no choice but to do it.Copy !req
1084. At least I know I'm a crowd puller.Copy !req
1085. If that's the case...Copy !req
1086. I'll be the best crowd puller in Japan!Copy !req
1087. Good work.Copy !req
1088. She made dinner, so let's help ourselves.Copy !req
1089. We've been waiting for it.Copy !req
1090. - Here you go.
- Thanks.Copy !req
1091. - This is all I can offer.
- Don't worry about it.Copy !req
1092. Delicious.Copy !req
1093. So this is the legendary taste.Copy !req
1094. "Legendary?"Copy !req
1095. Arishina Kayako.Copy !req
1096. The legendary producer that is 100% certain to produce an original picture when she goes there.Copy !req
1097. Even as a producer, the taste of rice balls has not diminished.Copy !req
1098. We can't ruin the legend, can we?Copy !req
1099. Genius Prince
Kill the heroineCopy !req
1100. There are more.Copy !req
1101. - Delicious!
- Thank you!Copy !req
1102. You can kill her.Copy !req
1103. You can kill the popular heroine who has a lot of fans.Copy !req
1104. Please go ahead and kill her.Copy !req
1105. Do whatever you want as the director.Copy !req
1106. Are you sure you want a traumatic ending?Copy !req
1107. Even the TV stations says I can't do that, right?Copy !req
1108. Even the digital media and figure sales depend on the quality of the final episode.Copy !req
1109. Without that kind of secondary use, it would never be profitable.Copy !req
1110. It's alright.Copy !req
1111. If you're going to kill her, you might as well kill her for a reason...Copy !req
1112. I'm sure you already have your resolve.Copy !req
1113. I'm sure this ending is the only way. Please draw a wonderful ending that people will be lost of words.Copy !req
1114. Please give me enough weapons to fight the broadcasting station.Copy !req
1115. May I ask you to leave? Sorry.Copy !req
1116. Good.Copy !req
1117. It's really good!Copy !req
1118. Excuse me, can I ask you to do the same pose as Towako, the main character?Copy !req
1119. - The signature pose?
- Yes.Copy !req
1120. Can you say the signature line or something?Copy !req
1121. Her signature line...Copy !req
1122. You do it as a set.Copy !req
1123. - Okay.
- Okay.Copy !req
1124. Okay then.Copy !req
1125. - The signature pose.
- Uh, well...Copy !req
1126. "I'll give you anything!"Copy !req
1127. Oh~ that's nice.Copy !req
1128. Thank you very much.Copy !req
1129. What the heck was that?Copy !req
1130. Hmm?Copy !req
1131. When Yukishiro puts you in the spotlight,Copy !req
1132. that's when people start asking crazy things like that.Copy !req
1133. Poor thing.Copy !req
1134. At any rate, the one being talked will just be a fad.Copy !req
1135. Except that they can't even remember the names who can't be of use.Copy !req
1136. Maybe they can't even remember your name.Copy !req
1137. Yeah, it would end up as "Yukishiro's something."Copy !req
1138. But you sure have been pulled into all kinds of trouble...Copy !req
1139. It's amazing how you can stand it.Copy !req
1140. Isn't that something important.Copy !req
1141. No, no, no. I think they are underestimating you because you're a woman.Copy !req
1142. I don't think of it that way.Copy !req
1143. Then you're not managing the crisis very well.Copy !req
1144. All he thinks about is exploit you and Soundback.Copy !req
1145. Be careful, director.Copy !req
1146. If I am going to be "exploited," then we all should be something that is worth one too.Copy !req
1147. I'm sure Mr. Yukishiro is making me into something that is worth being exploited.Copy !req
1148. He's the only one who can bad-mouth me.Copy !req
1149. Besides, I'm the one who gets pushed around the most.Copy !req
1150. On the contrary, I'm the one causing the most trouble.Copy !req
1151. But I've already been entrusted, so there's nothing I can do about it!Copy !req
1152. "Can't remember my name?"Copy !req
1153. Of course not.Copy !req
1154. He decided that I'm not worth remembering.Copy !req
1155. I was the same way when I was an assistant director.Copy !req
1156. Like "it's that woman's direction."Copy !req
1157. Or like "the girl who made five episode" or something like that.Copy !req
1158. I don't know either if he even remembers my face.Copy !req
1159. Do you know how proud I am that he remembers my name?Copy !req
1160. He called me "Director Saito" while I'm working.Copy !req
1161. I'm already happy for just being called that!Copy !req
1162. I don't need your freaking pity!Copy !req
1163. I apologize for being late.Copy !req
1164. Mr. Negishi, Mr. Koshigaya.Copy !req
1165. Thank you for standing in for me.Copy !req
1166. Director, did you thank them?Copy !req
1167. You should thank them for standing in.Copy !req
1168. Thank you very much.Copy !req
1169. Let's all do our best for the final episode.Copy !req
1170. Director?Copy !req
1171. Director? Director?Copy !req
1172. Hitomi?Copy !req
1173. How are you feeling?Copy !req
1174. I'm okay.Copy !req
1175. I'll be right back to work.Copy !req
1176. Ah, please don't force yourself.Copy !req
1177. Stay lying down.Copy !req
1178. How long after finishing "Soundback" will you be leaving Tokei Animation?Copy !req
1179. I heard about you're making a new anime for streaming.Copy !req
1180. Production will be by Studio Green.Copy !req
1181. You knew?Copy !req
1182. Don't underestimate my connections and the speed of my intel.Copy !req
1183. I will turn it down.Copy !req
1184. I'll be staying at Tokei Animation...Copy !req
1185. I'll like to learn more things from you.Copy !req
1186. No...Copy !req
1187. Please quit.Copy !req
1188. I'll be keeping my eye out for your work there.Copy !req
1189. "I want to make anime that reaches kids like I used to be."Copy !req
1190. was it?Copy !req
1191. Then there's no reason to hesitate.Copy !req
1192. How do you know that?Copy !req
1193. Because you said it yourself.Copy !req
1194. Why do you want to surpass Director Oji?Copy !req
1195. If I make anime that would surpass Director Oji,Copy !req
1196. they would be able to reach kids like me.Copy !req
1197. Ah...Copy !req
1198. But I have one condition if you quit.Copy !req
1199. Please keep this promise.Copy !req
1200. What is it?Copy !req
1201. Please resign from Tokei Animation amicably.Copy !req
1202. Like Director Oji, he burned bridges with everyone and went freelance.Copy !req
1203. So that we would still be able to work together,Copy !req
1204. that I hope you quit amicably.Copy !req
1205. So you still want me to work with you in the future?Copy !req
1206. Is that okay?Copy !req
1207. You have talent.Copy !req
1208. I love the way you say that you will reach supremacy.Copy !req
1209. Please learn as much as possible.Copy !req
1210. Until you leave the company,Copy !req
1211. I'll teach you as much as I can like how to deal with sponsors and the troublesome numbers.Copy !req
1212. So the reason why you forced me around...Copy !req
1213. Let's win properly.Copy !req
1214. Of course.Copy !req
1215. And one more thing.Copy !req
1216. There may have been a misunderstanding.Copy !req
1217. You are not a substitute.Copy !req
1218. You were the fourth from the start.Copy !req
1219. Eclair...Copy !req
1220. But there are no chocolate...Copy !req
1221. What?Copy !req
1222. Do you have a stomach ache?Copy !req
1223. No.Copy !req
1224. Is it my fault?Copy !req
1225. - No.
- Ah...Copy !req
1226. Taiyo.Copy !req
1227. Is there something wrong?Copy !req
1228. It's nothing.Copy !req
1229. Taiyo.Copy !req
1230. Aren't you hungry?Copy !req
1231. Ah...Copy !req
1232. I only have these though.Copy !req
1233. I know that.Copy !req
1234. It's the one with "I will fry anything", right?Copy !req
1235. I saw it in a commercial.Copy !req
1236. So it got through.Copy !req
1237. This anime, Soundback, is very interesting so watch it.Copy !req
1238. Even if you watch it in the middle, it's really interesting.Copy !req
1239. Really?Copy !req
1240. It sure is.Copy !req
1241. Taiyo.Copy !req
1242. This world is a place without delicacy.Copy !req
1243. But...Copy !req
1244. Very occasionally...Copy !req
1245. There are people who understand you.Copy !req
1246. There are things you should watch that make you feel understood.Copy !req
1247. I'll go watch it.Copy !req
1248. Right.Copy !req
1249. - Mr. Kawamura.
- Hmm?Copy !req
1250. I'm sorry. I'd like to make a correction.Copy !req
1251. Ah, I'll do it later.Copy !req
1252. Please listen to me for a second.Copy !req
1253. - What?
- In these parts...Copy !req
1254. Wait. Ugh...Copy !req
1255. It's the scene with Ryuichi...Copy !req
1256. We already fixed it, didn't we?Copy !req
1257. It was wonderful! That was wonderful too, but...Copy !req
1258. Ms. Niki! Ms. Niki!Copy !req
1259. Here. Here, here.Copy !req
1260. Yes, yes.Copy !req
1261. I'm sorry. I know you're busy.Copy !req
1262. In the confrontation scene of Takaya and Ryuichi in episode 8.Copy !req
1263. I would like the station to be rural.Copy !req
1264. I just thought that it might be inorganic...Copy !req
1265. Ms. Ninomiya! Ms. Ninomiya, a moment!Copy !req
1266. Ah, about earlier at the meeting...Copy !req
1267. Give me a break...Copy !req
1268. Ms. Aoshima! Ms. Aoshima...Copy !req
1269. Don't you get it?Copy !req
1270. Towako is...Copy !req
1271. losing her memories while fighting!Copy !req
1272. Wait...Copy !req
1273. You knew?Copy !req
1274. From the beginning...Copy !req
1275. She said that I should not tell anyone.Copy !req
1276. Well, Soundback is...Copy !req
1277. - Soundback.
- Did you watch it?Copy !req
1278. - The episode from yesterday?
- Yes, yes, yes.Copy !req
1279. It's amazing how much foreshadowing has been laid from the very first episode.Copy !req
1280. - Yeah, it's amazing.
- It's amazing.Copy !req
1281. Excuse me...Copy !req
1282. Where can I find the Soundback capsule toys?Copy !req
1283. - Ah, it's this way.
- Ah.Copy !req

1308. But Soundback is really getting better.Copy !req
1309. It's the voice. Her voice is different.Copy !req
1310. "I don't know what happened, she's getting good at it."Copy !req
1311. Liddell-light Final EpisodeCopy !req
1312. How was it?Copy !req
1313. Only you have the right to complain.Copy !req
1314. Are you sure you want it to end like this?Copy !req
1315. I just want them to feel a little bit of hope for themselves and for the future.Copy !req
1316. Understood.Copy !req
1317. Sis...Copy !req
1318. Hmm?Copy !req
1319. Will you also forget this sound?Copy !req
1320. Will you also forget me?Copy !req
1321. Of course I won't forget.Copy !req
1322. I won't forget.Copy !req
1323. Towako regains memory of all the soundsCopy !req
1324. Towako regains memory of all the soundsCopy !req
1325. Towako regains memory of all the sounds?Copy !req
1326. What?Copy !req
1327. I'm thinking of changing the ending.Copy !req
1328. I've decided that they would not be able to get the sound back.Copy !req
1329. I've written a new plot. For more information, please read it...Copy !req
1330. Wait, wait, wait...Copy !req
1331. What are you saying?Copy !req
1332. We can't use that kind of ending.Copy !req
1333. As originally planned, with the miracle of the Kanade stone, Towako gets all the sounds and memories back.Copy !req
1334. We must have a happy ending with tears and emotion, which everyone loves.Copy !req
1335. - About that...
- Besides...Copy !req
1336. The set cannot handle any changes from this stage.Copy !req
1337. Right?Copy !req
1338. If you understand that, put this stuff away.Copy !req
1339. And stick with the original storyboard.Copy !req
1340. Are you sure?Copy !req
1341. Are you fine with that?Copy !req
1342. What are you talking about?Copy !req
1343. You know that the last episode can totally change the digital media sales.Copy !req
1344. I'm sure this is the proper development.Copy !req
1345. I'm asking the director.Copy !req
1346. We're...Copy !req
1347. We're here to make what the director is thinking.Copy !req
1348. Hey, Yukishiro.Copy !req
1349. We're a big company.Copy !req
1350. That's right! We're a big company that's why we have to be supreme.Copy !req
1351. No, that's not it.Copy !req
1352. Huh?Copy !req
1353. Because we are a big company,Copy !req
1354. we must not aim for supremacy immediately and must make an anime that will be talked about 10 years from now.Copy !req
1355. It is the duty of an established company like ours to preserve that kind of work.Copy !req
1356. Director Saito.Copy !req
1357. What would you like to leave behind?Copy !req
1358. I think there are times in life when you have to accomplish something, even if you lose something important.Copy !req
1359. At the very end, a miracle happens and the lost sound comes back.Copy !req
1360. It's not that convenient.Copy !req
1361. Some things are gained because they are lost.Copy !req
1362. The children in this story don't need any more happy endings depicted for someone else's convenience.Copy !req
1363. I'm sure there will be a happy ending even after they lose them.Copy !req
1364. They may not get the message right now.Copy !req
1365. But hopefully someday they'll remember.Copy !req
1366. I think it's better that the last episode resonate in someone's heart.Copy !req
1367. I'm sure we can make the final episode like that.Copy !req
1368. Are you sure?Copy !req
1369. If you fail, you'll never be able to make an anime again.Copy !req
1370. I don't mind.Copy !req
1371. Please let me change the ending.Copy !req
1372. No...Copy !req
1373. I'll change it.Copy !req
1374. I think...Copy !req
1375. There may be something we can do.Copy !req
1376. - Let me have a look at it.
- Okay.Copy !req
1377. Well...Copy !req
1378. If only we could change the cut process and background a bit and use it here.Copy !req
1379. I'll rethink the combination of pictures and dialogues again.Copy !req
1380. Are you serious? Who's going to connect them anway?Copy !req
1381. Ah, dammit!Copy !req
1382. So we have to do it!Copy !req
1383. Yes!Copy !req
1384. Alright!Copy !req
1385. Thank you very much!Copy !req
1386. Thank you.Copy !req
1387. It won't matter if we don't make it in time though!Copy !req
1388. Additional storyboard has arrived.Copy !req
1389. You need to replace that bottom part.Copy !req
1390. Okay, okay.Copy !req
1391. This is for handling things, putting things on...Copy !req
1392. Sure, we could use this facial expression from Towako.Copy !req
1393. For example, in this scene, the soft light is alive and...Copy !req
1394. I'd like her to express something like sincere words from her heart.Copy !req
1395. - Important, huh?
- Yes.Copy !req
1396. "Important..."Copy !req
1397. - Here's the new line.
- Ah, here it is.Copy !req
1398. Yes, here they are.Copy !req
1399. "While I still remember what's important..."Copy !req
1400. That's quite like how Mr. Maeyamada writes.Copy !req
1401. Um, after the fight scene is over,Copy !req
1402. they go back to their home town.Copy !req
1403. This scene will be the new one.Copy !req
1404. Towako is down on the ground... no, she's flying through the air here.Copy !req
1405. And she comes down to ground as it is.Copy !req
1406. Then they see their home town and...Copy !req
1407. Look at their family, and look at their friends...Copy !req
1408. Their eyes sparkle with excitement.Copy !req
1409. With this cut is how Soundback would end.Copy !req
1410. The EndCopy !req
1411. - Yes.
- Oh~!Copy !req
1412. The number of scenes has increased considerably. I'm sure it's going to be a lot of work.Copy !req
1413. I'm counting on all of you.Copy !req
1414. Let's do it!Copy !req
1415. Everyone, thank you for your patience.Copy !req
1416. The new storyboard is here!Copy !req
1417. Here's the new storyboard, please get them!Copy !req
1418. Whoa...Copy !req
1419. 0.62...Copy !req
1420. No. Raise it to 0.63.Copy !req
1421. 63...Copy !req
1422. That's nice.Copy !req
1423. It goes guwaaa!Copy !req
1424. And goes, shaaa...Copy !req
1425. Oh, I see, I see... Guwaaaa, then shuuu...Copy !req
1426. - Right?
- That's right!Copy !req
1427. Passion. It's passion!Copy !req
1428. It's passion!Copy !req
1429. This color.Copy !req
1430. This...Copy !req
1431. I see. So it's sulphur yellow.Copy !req
1432. That's right! I finally able to show you!Copy !req
1433. Oh~Copy !req
1434. - That's nice.
- It sure is.Copy !req
1435. That's the last line of the last episode.Copy !req
1436. I'll leave it to you to decide how to say it.Copy !req
1437. Okay!Copy !req
1438. Let's have a rush check on the final episode!Copy !req
1439. Okay!Copy !req
1440. If you please.Copy !req
1441. Final Episode Broadcast DayCopy !req
1442. Stop!Copy !req
1443. If you do that, your world itself will cease to exist!Copy !req
1444. It's alright.Copy !req
1445. It's better than losing her...Copy !req
1446. Sorry.Copy !req
1447. Juri...Copy !req
1448. That's it.Copy !req
1449. You're all my fellow travelers.Copy !req
1450. Juri, you should live.Copy !req
1451. Don't tell me you're eating the sound?Copy !req
1452. The sound that flows within life...Copy !req
1453. Just like what the Kanade stone said...Copy !req
1454. That was the source of their power.Copy !req
1455. Oh no...Copy !req
1456. How could we possibly win?Copy !req
1457. As if against a stolen sound...Copy !req
1458. We will not lose!Copy !req
1459. Never!Copy !req
1460. - No!
- Towako!Copy !req
1461. I'll give you anything.Copy !req
1462. Stop it, Towako!Copy !req
1463. If you lose any more sound...Copy !req
1464. This time you won't be able to come back!Copy !req
1465. Ki~yo~ra~!Copy !req
1466. Ah...Copy !req
1467. Ah... Juri!Copy !req
1468. I'll give you anything.Copy !req
1469. Everything... I'll give you everything.Copy !req
1470. So... protect them...Copy !req
1471. The important thingsCopy !req
1472. should still be important.Copy !req
1473. I remember properly...Copy !req
1474. So please...Copy !req
1475. Please!Copy !req
1476. I told you, didn't I?Copy !req

1482. But alas! That's too old!Copy !req
1483. What an emotional experience that has to die to an honorable end!Copy !req
1484. No matter what I look like, and no matter who wants me,Copy !req
1485. I'm going to live!Copy !req
1486. Ah...Copy !req
1487. No matter how ugly you guys make us look.Copy !req
1488. Be sure to love responsibly!Copy !req
1489. Live!Copy !req
1490. The only one who make you despair!Copy !req
1491. The only one in the world!Copy !req
1492. It's only you!Copy !req
1493. Towako.Copy !req
1494. Towako...Copy !req
1495. - Towako...
- Towako!Copy !req
1496. Can you hear us, Towako?Copy !req
1497. It's our town.Copy !req
1498. It's where we will go home.Copy !req
1499. Sis!Copy !req

1507. Resonate...Copy !req
1508. Reach into someone's heart...Copy !req
1509. You know...Copy !req
1510. Thank you.Copy !req
1511. You knew my reputation after "Yosuga," right?Copy !req
1512. They all said I was just an empty shell.Copy !req
1513. I'll be the first to admit it.Copy !req
1514. Well, it didn't work.Copy !req
1515. Even though they say I'm a genius.Copy !req
1516. As soon as I made the second one, I thought they'd find out I was mediocre.Copy !req
1517. I was scared the whole time.Copy !req
1518. I thought I couldn't be a director anymore.Copy !req
1519. You are a great person.Copy !req
1520. It's pretty cool that you're working with me.Copy !req
1521. So anyway, this is a totally different topic, but...Copy !req
1522. Do you have a boyfriend?Copy !req
1523. Why are you asking that suddenly?Copy !req
1524. No, seriously.Copy !req
1525. To make one anime series,Copy !req
1526. we don't ask people to entrust us with three precious years of their lives.Copy !req
1527. I thought maybe you're getting a little old for this.Copy !req
1528. And there's no sign you have a boyfriend so I was worried.Copy !req
1529. It's none of your business.Copy !req
1530. If that's the case, I don't mind marrying you.Copy !req
1531. Huh?Copy !req
1532. Huh?Copy !req
1533. Ah...Copy !req
