I hereby allow Excel Saga to be sort of Japanimation-ish.
That sucked!
EXCEL SAGA
That isn't love!
Love isn't that!
I love, but I'm not loved.
It's not love at all...
But isn't love...?
I want to be loved, but I won't ask for it.
This body may be crushed, I'll give my life away.
Just plainly without hesitation
I'll con them and jilt them, come in from the side
I'll step on others and kick'em up
Run away! Run away!
Even if I slip on a banana peel
That's all for that one man
If I must say it's probably
Loyalty in the name of love
Hail I! Palazzo!
'Good Morning ' Excel ' and ' Hyatt.
Our Across Idealization plans have been progressing in a rather ' nice ' way.
We still have a ' long road' to ' success'...
...but I don't think it's 'too late' to think of our ' next step'.
"Master II Palazzo, "
it sounds like you're talking a little differently from usual.
"Oh, sorry."
"Basically, what I'm saying is that I'd like you both to think about the next phase."
Oh! I see!
I can't help but feel so impressed by your stance of
always looking towards the future!
Thank you.
What'll we do in particular?
I'm ordering you both to go on an overseas business trip.
Overseas business trip?!
In order to make our plans go smoothly...
...I'd like you to understand other nations' situations.
Gotcha!
"For you, Master II Palazzo, "
I'd go to the ends of te earth...
... the depths of the ocean...
... or even a country that's dangerous to enter OR leave.
"Senior, do you have a passport?"
Nope! But I'll manage with my will!
I've already made arrangements for your departure and arrival.
"Ah, using that, right?"
"Yes, this"
See you later!
Woah! This is really long this time Master II Palazzo!
I'm starting to get rid of my doubts and even feel proud of this method...
... that doesn't cost any transportation fees or taxes
based on performance factor.
Now I'm starting to remember that he never did say
where I was going to end up.
"But meanwhile, I'm already at the mantle!"
And next is mysterious chunk of open space!
"All you good kids, don't try this at home!"
Excel What?!
Jesus!
Oh yeah! Excel has landed!
A stereotypical slum city!
So that means this is...
America! Entry was success!
"I'm in America, the land of dreams! I'd better start acting America and ' check it out '!"
I wonder what's with this hostile ' feeling '
I think everyone's suspicious.
What? When did you get here?!
Perhaps we'd introduce ourselves and get rid of any misunderstanding.
"Y-Yeah, yeah. Hello! Merry X-mas! I'm Excel."
Y-You are dog.
"It's probably my imagination, but the atmosphere feels tense"
I only said the words I know. I wonder if I said something wrong.
Did I start a fight?
Shit!
The Japan-America friendship has been broken!
Does this mean that the language barrier is thicker than we thought after all?
We're in a bind only one minute after arriving.
"No, no, If we talk to them sincerely from the depths of our hearts, they'd understand our intentions."
Y-Your mother is pig!
Senior?
I feel thatyour intention and vocabulary have too much of a gap.
Ah! Why do only words like that pop into my head? I'm so full of regret.
"You're gonna attack me, right? You're gonna beat me up, right?"
"This is a pinch for Excel, and it's the climax!"
Hey! It's Puni Puni Poemi!
Poemi!
Over here too!
Ha-chan? What's the situation here...?
"Now it's your chance, hurry!"
This way! What?!
Are you ok? Are you ok?
That was a close one.
"Gee, thanks so much! You saved our lives."
"But putting that aside, who're you anyway?"
I'm Sandora. And you're...?
I'm Excel!
My name is Hyatt.
"You two have something to do with Japanimation, right?"
Japa?
I can tell by looking atyou
"You're cos-players, aren'tyou?"
"Um no, these are like our work uniforms."
I need to ask a favor.
Please teach me about Japanimation!
Have a seat.
Sorry to bother you. Sorry to bother you.
Doesn't seem like a typical New York room.
Are you an animator?
I'm an assistant.
I actually wanted to be a pro soccer player...
... but they told me kids couldn't join.
The boss picked me up when I was in trouble.
So now I draw original anime sketches like that and give 'em to the boss.
I heard all the rumors about it.
' bout what?
"Anime is causing a big movement in Japan now, right?"
There's more than a hundred anime episodes airing each week.
"And there's tons of jobs for animators, who don't even have time to sleep."
"That being an animator in Japan is THE dream job, right?"
It seems like only parts of that information have been passed along correctly. Sounds like it.
I want to be a popular animator and make tons of money!
And then make Mama happy.
Is your mom unhappy?
No. She's living in pleasure with Papa back home.
Then isn't that fine?
But... That Papa isn't my real Papa!
My real Papa went to Japan to work.
But he had an accident...
"The Papa I have now was once like him,"
but now he's put his eyes on gambling.
He keeps losing and losing so much
that he's started using up Mama's savings!
A Papa without money isn't my Papa!
This is all screwed up.
I guess this is what's expected of an advanced capitalistic nation.
That's why I'm gonna be a great animator and let my mom relax.
Sandora!
Boss!
Gyalandoo! And Boomerang!
"Who're these women, Sandora?"
Hiya! Hi
"Sandora, you like 'em two at once?"
You're such an energeic boy.
What do you mean?
"YOu're at such an age now, huh?"
"I know, I understand, no tell."
I'll keep it a secret from your mom.
I think he's making a tremendous misunderstanding.
"You may look naive, butyou picked up on that one right away, didn'tyou, Ha-chan?"
"By the way, you got the stuff ready?"
Just a little more left.
Looks good.
"Thank you, Boss!"
Your originals will make this a big hit for sure!
"No, that's not true."
Don't be so humble.
Your mom would be happy too if your drawings become
a Japanimation and become a success on air all over the globe!
Yes. I'll try my best!
"Finish it by tomorrow morning, alright?"
"The cargo flight is the day after tomorrow, "
and we've got to get it colored by then.
Sure!
I wonder how many anime there're that still uses cells.
Huh? Gulp.
I hear that most anime have gone digital these days.
Like this. What? Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
"S- Sandora, I'm going home now, "
I feel bad taking up your time.
You girls go home too.
You're telling us to to home but...Shut up!
"Hey! We're counting on you, Sandora."
What was that about?
What was that about all of a sudden?!
"That's very rude, you know?!"
You'd be more gentle.
You had to say much unnecessary things!
U-Unnecessary?! Like what?
We were only pondering a simple question out lout.
And that's what I'm saying was unnecessary.
"Don't ever go near Sandora again, ok?"
Why only me?!
"Dave, "
let's close the deal tomorrow.
"Yeah, it's top quality."
There's nothing else like it anywhere in the world.
I smell a conspiracy.
Senior!
I'd rather you not take action on your own
Honey!
That's the money that Sandora worked so hard for.
The money that he made so I could live in luxury!
Shut up!
Your money is my money.
"I'll letyou live in even MORE luxury, so shut up and hand it over!"
Butyou keep losing!
Shut up!
"Are you alright, darling?"
Why you!
My old honey!
Pedro!!
"Long time no see, Gomez."
"What the hell are you doing here, Pedro?!"
Revenge.
You, Gomez, who stole everything from your friend Pedro, including his wife.
Despicable Gomez! You bastard Gomez!
Revenge?!
That's right.
Peddy came back to settle things once and for all with you.
Yes!
"Nowthat look back, it was a time of rough training."
Pedro! Pedro!
Pedro! Pedro! Pedro!
"What' chu say, asshole?!"
Shut up!
The endless pandemonium I've endured has changed me.
"Now you will feel my wrath, Gomez!"
"You sound so macho, sweetie!"
"Don't twinkle, you asshole!"
"Shut up! I can twinkle if I want, you butthead!"
"Anyway, you're gonna see my wrath, Gomez!"
"You're both macho, darlings."
Stop sippin that tea and hurry up 'n start the fight!
True!
"You're rushing this, Great Will..."
"Against Gomez, Pedro is still too..."
Woah... the water's sleeping... it's sleeping in!
Dangerous looking exchange
Empty warehouse area at night
Lu Lu Lu~White powder
Shut up! Do 'em!
Dick!
Corleone!
I'm glad you're alive! I'm glad you're alive!
"Long time no see, Corleone. Ah, Dick!"
"Ever since the Colombia incident, huh?"
"We've both got the devil's luck, eh?"
For no reason! For no reason!
I've got lots I wanna talk about but let's finish business first.
Are the Puni Puni Poemi original drawing done?
Of course.
"But first, I'd like to see the money."
Naturally.
$ 10 million as promised. And the goods?
Alright.
I'll take a quick look at it just in case.
BOSS!!!!
"Sandora! Why, what're you doing here?"
Boss...
Weren'tyou going to make my drawings into a Japanimation?!
Boss... You deceived me?
"That's exactly right, Sandora."
Your original drawing cells are going to be sold on the black market as fakes.
SHOCK!
This is much faster than making a troublesome anime.
And how can something made in America become Japanimation anyway?!
You're right...! More and more shock! Shock! Shock!...
So... I can't become a famous animator after all?
"I guess that was a little harsh for a kiddo like you, eh?"
"Corleone, I don't care what your situation is, "
" just give me the original drawings, won'tyou?"
"Yeah. Sorry bout that, my friend."
Hey.
Yes Boss.
Check out these masterpieces.
"It's all there, as promised. Complete with a timesheet."
Now you're talking.
"What's wrong, my friend?"
Shit!
What're you doing?!
Shut up and take a damn good look!
W-What the hell...?!
That's not Puni Puni Poemi.
That's Samurai Macho~ ne!
"Well, that in itself is rare,"
"but what's the meaning of this, Coreone?!"
"W-Well, I..."
Sandora!!
I found out thatyou were lying to me...
... and changed the contents of the envelope while you weren't watching!
What?! Who told you that?
"Corleone, this deal is off."
You ain't getting a dime!
I can't allowthat!
In that case...!
The deal is off. We won't hesitate.
We won't just letyou go back to Japan like that.
Stop the fighting!
Who's there?!
"I'm Excel, the heroine!"
Notyou again!
"Oh, a Cos-player!"
Miss Excel!
"Japanimation has its good parts, and American animation has its good parts too."
That's what's so beautiful about anime!
But
I won't forgive anyone who tries to soil it by stealing profit!
Anyone who does so...
In the name of the moon.
I'm gonna slap yo' butt!
"Hey, that's the Japanimation from a little while ago!"
Uhmm... Uhmm...Sailor... right?
But that anime is all over already.
SHUT UP!!
I was makin' people faint with this technique until a couple of years ago!
"Who cares, just shoot!"
Japanimation rule nember 1:
Bullets never hit the hero!
Number 2:
Explosions for
no reason take out the small fry.
D-Damn!
Number 3:
We censor extreme sickness.
You bitch!
Next is the American anime topic!
Wonder-rya!
Get her!
Number 1:
The hero always wine with one punch!
Number 2:
"Do it, Ha-chan!"
*Snip*
Number 3:
No! No!
A cute little mouse is also full of humor!
Viva Animation!!!
Thank you Miss Excel and Miss Hyatt.
Anime is really awesome after all.
"No, no. Now we're even."
You saved us too before.
I'm gonna go back home and stay by my mama's side.
"When I grow up, I'll become a great soccer player!"
Please give my regards to you mother.
Thanks!
Bye!
Excuse us.
Thank you! Goodbye!!
"Ha-chan, I can't help but think that we've seen that boy before."
Where exactly?
Can't remember!
No!!!
"'Hi, This is I! Palazzo."'
'I am coquettish.'
My tissue...
We're back!
Hail I! Pala... zzo.
So how was the overseas business trip?
"Yes, well it was a very satisfying experience."
"There was no jet-lag, we crushed evil, and saved lives."
We were able to create yet
another episode of a sort of good Across.
I see.
Were you able to understand their situation?
Huh?
I'm asking you if you were able to accurately understand an advanced country's situation?
"Um, well, in other words... America is a country where the slums are glum..."
... where the Mafia make deals in warchouses...
...and where the American Dream is a dream among dreams.
Right. Ha-chan?
I'm not sure. I was working hard to keep up with you.
Go again.
'Once more'?!
Why just me?!
Where the hell is this place?!
EPISODE 17 ANIMATION USA
Today's experiment....
NG
I've known since that day
The reason you came to me
The soft lexture of my body
Is a favorite of yours....
In your hungered eyes
How does this body look...?
"If you're going to eat me, please do it quickly"
So that this flesh won't become too lough...
"People who know, know and people who don't know, don't know."
Obviously.
But Excel Saga had a prototype called Daiten-jin.
"Actually, word is that Rikudo's doujinshis have a im on them in used bookstores in Nakano and Ikebukuro and
It's true.
"The content isn't for kids, as the dumb trio: Watanabe, Iwata and Sumiyoshi..."
"...do tremendous stuff, and Excel has tremendous stuff done to her."
"Anyway, we're gonna put our heads together next week for Public Rangers - Daiten-jin."
It's probably the 1st anime ever to be based on a doujinshi.
But we don't care,
we won't listen to the anime critics or fans!
