How to Make a Website From Scratch
We have a home page now,
but if people aren't comin'...
We should make it more flashy.
Nah, that would make it harder to look at.
Banana Gifts
Is that a student in the next bed over?
Oh, because they're talking about home pages?
Yeah, they're in high school.
Oh?
To my eyes, that youthful determination is blindingly bright.
Is that how it is?
That's how it is.
What? That's not beginner stuff!
No, really. Read it yourself and see!
Youth, huh?

Episode 6: "Tokyo Tower"
You woke up?
This is my first time looking out at Tokyo in two weeks...
Souta-san! We're in big trouble!
We're right up against the deadline!
Please come back!

I have to make a decision about what comes next.
Souta-san, welcome back!
We've been waiting for you!
Now we should be able to weather the storm.
This is great.
By the way, who's the kid?
Oh, well, that's a long story.
So cute!
He hid!
I'm so sorry. It was one thing after another...
This is a souvenir from Kagawa.
Oh! A souvenir?
Kamado
Mikko-chan, is the reception room in use today?
Oh, right. The development team was up all night trying to hit deadlines.
They're all dead.
Ah... I thought so.
Tawara.
Come with me.
Yes, sir.
Poco, wait here, okay?
I'll be right back.
Souta! Souta!
Souta-kun has to talk with the scary old man, so stay here, okay?
You must be hot in that hood.
Let's take that off.
Poco, leave your hood up, okay?
Ah, he ran!
No, no!
Souta!
In Use
You want to extend your vacation?
Yes, sir.
What are you trying to do?
It's exactly as I just explained, sir.
I can't just abandon Poco—
I don't get it.
I don't get it at all!
I realize that you must have a lot going
through your mind after your father's death.
What I don't understand is why you have to take in a friend's kid!
Even so, it's just, well...
Something I feel I have to do.
Just how delicate of a heart do you have?
Are you naïve? Are you a vegetable? Huh?
What do you plan on doing with the kid?
Like I said, at least for now, he'll live with me—
Caring for a kid isn't the same as keeping a dog or cat, you know.
What's more, it's not even your kid.
And they're expensive, too.
Yes, sir.
I need you.
The other members feel the same way.
Over the last ten years, you've done great work.
And you're a creator at heart, aren't you?
What's changed since you decided to come to Tokyo after high school?
Souta-san!
Welcome back, Souta-san!
Souta!
Hiroshi!
What's with the kid?
Hiroshi, put him down.
Souta!
Oh my God! Is he yours?
Souta! Souta!
An accident? A surprise kid?
Argh! Quiet down!
This isn't a nursery school! Enough!
He's a gorilla.
A gorilla...
Hey, so what were you two talking about in here, anyway?
Oh, uh... Actually...
He says he wants to take some time off to look after the kid.
Huh?
No way!
But Souta-san came back when I called him.
There's no way that's true.
Right, Souta-san?
I'm sorry, Hiroshi.
I can't come back to work yet.
What do you mean?
Souta-san, didn't you come back to work on
the project you're teamed up with me on?
My situation's changed.
What are you saying?
Is it because of this kid? Is it your fault?
Souta...
I'm gonna go toss him in the Sumida River!
Hiroshi, stop it!
It was just a joke.
Well, just think it over one more time.
Hamada-san!
Thank you so much for everything you taught me about home pages.
Is that counter going up?
Yes!
And today, we got our first...
We got our first comment!
Oh?
We'd been putting up the fishing spot along with the fish rubbings.
The commenter said they'd try fishing at the same spot sometime, and...
They said the home page was easy to read.
That's great.
Yeah!
I never knew that other people
could find joy in something that I created.
I'm really happy about it!
I'm sure you are.
When your leg's better,
you should visit Tokyo sometime.
I'll show you around.
I will!
Next time we meet, you can call me "Dahama."
Cool! Like an industry name!
Tawara.
Yes, sir?
Go home for the day.
But I'm still not...
I want to at least finish everything that's on a deadline.
I don't mean you. The kid's had enough.
Think of how the kid must feel,
being dragged around at your convenience.
Thank you.
I'll go home.
What's wrong? You're not going to eat?
You look pale.
Are you okay?
You didn't eat lunch today, either.
Poco, use your fork to—
Excuse me! Check, please!
Poco, are you okay?
Think of how the kid must feel,
being dragged around at your convenience.
I'm sorry.
I'll go draw the bath.
We'll go to bed early.
Poco!
Poco... Poco!
He's burning up...
The hospital!
No, we can't...
If they see him like this...
Oh, yeah! Nakajima!
Nakajima will know what to do!
The customer you have called is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Stay calm. Stay calm...
What do I do?
What can I...
Souta...
Poco doesn't have anyone but me!
Hiroshi, for the love of...
What are these?
Marshmallows?
Dahama-san, where did Souta-san go?
I sent him home.
The kid didn't look well.
Huh? The kid?
Say "ah."
There you go. Just a little at a time.
Seems like you're a little dehydrated.
You didn't eat or drink anything all day...
Were you nervous?
Huh?
Hello?
Souta-san!
Hiroshi?!
Wait... What? What? What?!
Please just let me in!
No, no, no! You can't right now!
He's been sick, and he's sleeping!
Come on! Let me see him just for a minute!
If I let him in, he'll see Poco's ears and tail!
Just for a minute! It's just for a minute!
Give it a rest!
Seriously, what's with you?
I... I came to apologize to the kid.
But I'm not going to apologize to you!
Wait! Stop!
Kid!
Sorry about today!
I brought this to make it up to...
you?
It's over!
Er...
Oh! I know, I know! It's... that!
Those trendy animal ear headphones that move because of brain waves!
But doesn't that toy
have cat ears?
Huh?
That's strange.
It's not coming off.
Why not?
It's almost like... like...
Are these his real ears?
There are no ears.
Huh? Uh, but...
There are no ears!
Go to sleep.
You're tired from working so late.
Here, put this on.
Huh? What's going on?
It's dark! I'm scared!
I don't like this!
He saw everything!
What am I gonna do? What the heck am I gonna do?
No! I can't go freaking out when Poco needs me.
I have to protect Poco's secret,
and Poco himself, too.
Souta!
Poco!
You feel well enough to be up?
Uh-huh.
Souta, udon!
Huh?
Udon!
Oh... You want to eat udon?
Uh-huh!
Gurgle
Rumble
Poltergeist?!
Huh?
Souta-san, please step aside!
Wh-What is it?
Hiroshi, you've been acting kinda strange since yesterday!
Huh?
Yummy.
I know he had them...
Ears and a tail! They even felt soft!
What are you talking about? You're imagining things.
But he's...
Wow! This udon is delicious!
Where did you buy it?
Some of these Kagawa products are ones I've never seen...
Oh, right. Yesterday, I bought all this at a specialty shop for Kagawa products.
Something wrong?
Hiroshi, I'm sorry.
I'm going back to Kagawa, after all.
You made up your mind?
Yeah.
Oh... So you're going back...
Dahama-san will be disappointed.
He had high hopes for you.
Sorry. But I've made up my mind.
Yeah...
You can't abandon him.
I wonder who'll replace you on our project.
Hiroshi.
Yes?
Dahama-san can be intimidating,
but if you do good work, he will acknowledge it.
That's the kind of person our boss is.
But I... I really did want to do
this current project with you.
Thanks for the food.
Oh, crap! It's already this late?!
No way! We have to get to the office!
Tawara.
Tawara!
Huh?
A-hup...
That looks good. Did Tawara make it?
Rice ball!
Oh? I can have it?
That's yummy.
Yummy, yummy!
He's good with his hands...
Oh, Dahama-san.
Uh... What are you doing?
I was looking for you, Tawara.
The kid looks better.
Yeah. Thanks again.
That's great.
Now, about what we discussed yesterday...
I know what I said, but, well...
If you do end up taking time off,
just make sure you pass along the baton right.
Actually, about that...
Resignation
Please accept my resignation.
And...
I know I'm in no position to ask this, but...
Will you allow me
to complete the project with Hiroshi?
I promise we'll make something good.
Please!
You're as clumsy as ever.
Resignation
I'll keep this.
Call Hiroshi. We're going to scout locations this afternoon.
Yes, sir!
Thank you!
Poco!
Bouncing won't help you reach it.
We're about to climb that!
Tawara...
Yes?
When you get back to Kagawa, if you have the time,
you should visit Shodoshima.
Shodoshima?
A friend of mine runs an advertising agency there.
It's called Team Planet. They do some Web work, too.
Really? There's a company like that on Shodoshima?
He can be a disagreeable guy, but he's good at his job.
Meeting him might
help give you some perspective.
Dahama-san...
Thank you.
I'm glad the company I had the opportunity to work for in Tokyo was yours.
What's up? What are you talking about?
We're leaving.
Wait... What?
Dahama-san! Wait!
Scratchy, scratchy...
Souta-san.
Can I visit you in Kagawa sometime?
Sure.
Awesome!
He did have them, right?
Ears and a tail...
Hiroshi? What is it?
Ah, nothing!
How long do you think it takes to bike to Kagawa?
Huh? You're coming on a bike?!

Gaogao-chan wanted
to take responsibility as a man.
Resignation
I don't understand at all, Gao!
Even so,
it's just something I feel I have to do...
Fool!
But Papa, on Earth...
There were so many beautiful, warm,
and moving things, Gao!
Do what you want, Gao.
Thank you for everything, Gao.
Do good work, even on Earth, Gao.
Don't go soft, Gao!
