Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! (映像研には手を出すな!)

Are you okay, Midori?

I'm carsick.

Do you need a bag?

No.

Okay, almost there.

By the time I was in sixth grade, my dream was to become an adventurer.

We're gonna live here?

Shibahama South Building

Holy cow!

It's on top of a river!

I'm gonna go explore!

You are? Be careful!

It's gonna take a long time to see everything here!

Midori?

I'm going to the airport to pick Dad up.

Watch some anime and wait for me, okay?

Okay. Be safe.

It's raining like it's the end of the world.

Getting ready...

It wasn't something I could do myself.

But the big, epic world of adventure I wanted to experience...

was right in front of me.

That was the first time I realized...

that someone made the anime I watched.

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

Here's what you asked for, Asakusa.

Red bean soup and green soybean mochi.

Excellent work, Kanamori.

If you're that curious, you could always head down there yourself.

I don't do well in crowds.

Huh? Kanamori? Where's my change?

I'm taking it as a service fee.

Why, Asakusa, did you expect to get my labor without compensation?

Volleyball

Tennis

Water Polo

It's the age of robots! The time has come for—

I guess I didn't think it through.

Anyway, Kanamori, my friend...

What's up?

I'll buy you some milk,

so would you come see the screening by the anime—

Absolutely not. Sounds lame.

I'm begging you!

I'll up it to two bottles of the milk they sell at the Ongyoku Bathhouse!

Is this like how some people only go to the bathroom as part of a group, Asakusa?

I'd feel weird going alone.

Why the anime club, exactly?

Well, because I love anime, of course.

Why not make something at home, on your own?

It's hard to make anything more than a short on your own.

And I need the right kind of environment, and an opportunity to get anything done.

And that means you spend your days just staring out at the campus?

What exactly are you looking at, Your Excellency?

Isn't it obvious, Kanamori?!

Look at this campus, built on the water!

Shibahama High School

The continued renovations, over time,

have created a layout both complicated and inexplicable!

A total lack of consistency between upper and lower levels!

The bridges that go into town!

Shibahama High School

That clock, which isn't visible from most of the campus!

Which means we usually end up looking at...

The clock over on the coast!

It's a public building shaped like a dungeon!

I want to make an anime with this school as the setting!

It's gonna look like this! What do you think?!

You get fired up at the drop of a hat, don't you, Asakusa?

I'm not sure what you want me to say...

We just enrolled here, and you've got all this... stuff.

Don't you have anything better to do with your energy?

Come on, let's go to the anime club's screening, Kanamori!

Make it four bottles of milk.

You're taking advantage of me.

A/V Room A

Anime Research Group Special Screening

Go on, go on. Head in there.

Please stop using me as a shield.

Doesn't seem to be very busy...

Let's sit in the back, Kanamori.

Let's sit somewhere else!

Start it up, please.

Conan of the Lost Island

What about this is entertaining to you?

You have this simple-looking, round machine,

that can fly thanks to a unexplained anti-gravity device,

which is depicted with an attention to fine details...

Like how they pick it up with their hands!

It's like when you push a car, hoping the engine will turn over!

They're taking the obvious visual cues of the animation

and using it to create an air of reality!

The spacing of the frame...

Establishing the location...

The relaxed pace that's set by the running!

The way it sets up the character's physicality!

And this sense of scale!

Look at the size contrast created in this crossover shot!

And by having debris flying around,

it creates a real sense of propulsion!

And the movement of the air...

With the character running against it, showing the resistance,

and how it pushes them around...

Right here!

You take something that's totally implausible, but pass it off like it is!

You take reality and then exaggerate it in a way that makes sense!

A character moves around on top of a background, and it creates an entire world!

Seeing a character wandering around a mysterious world fills you with a sense of adventure—

I understand, and you can stop now.

Getting more of an explanation than you asked for is excruciating.

Sorry about that.

I'll admit, anime is more complicated than I ever thought.

Excuse me, you in the hat?

Nice to meet you. I'm a first-year, too! Tsubame Mizusaki! I like anime, too!

Wow, close! Uh, yes! Okay!

Sorry to spring this on you, but I need to borrow your hat!

There she is.

Whoa, are those MiBs?

Thanks, see you later!

Wait, my hat? Where'd it—

Conan!

Kana!

A young girl, fleeing from villains...

She's actually a famous fashion model...

I thought there were anti-monopoly laws to get rid of those.

This smells like cash...

And adventure.

Strawberry Milk

Strawberry Milk

There she is!

Well, now...

What are they talking about?

I can't hear.

If this is just a lecture, you didn't need to follow me to school.

I was looking forward to the anime club's screening.

I don't understand why I'm supposed to put on an act just because my parents both do it!

I want a normal life! Going home with my friends, doing after school activities!

Our orders are to keep you from joining the anime club.

So if it was live action or any other kind of film club, it'd be fine?!

Correct.

Asakusa...

Go and make friends with Mizusaki, all right?

Being an animator is a real job!

You breathe life into all kinds of roles!

And not just people, but wind, the environment, machines...

Sometimes they create performances bigger than anything live action could!

Hey...

You're the girl who had the hat...

S-Sup! Sorry about the delay!

I was late catching my bike! Can you believe it?

Hey, it's almost 2!

Why don't we chill on the roof and chow down our lunches, Tsubamecchy Mizusaki?

Come on, there's a weirdo lurking around.

Uh...

Excuse me. Who are you, exactly?

Run for it!

Wait! Hey, hang on!

Get back here!

This way!

Go up!

There you are!

That guy works for my parents!

Thankfully, he's tough enough that that probably didn't hurt him.

Man, you grabbed me when I was taking a sip,

and now I'm covered in strawberry milk!

I am so sorry.

It's kind of crazy you thought he was some kind of bad guy, though.

Sending someone to spy on you at school...
