Firstly.Firstly, we'd like to tell you what we do
Yeah. lt's all of a sudden.

You can't keep laughing .
Let me first.

Frankly speaking , Maia is a hero.
Yeah . . .
A very cute kid .
Yes. ls that all?
ls it OK?
ls CUTE the only word?
Right
l'm Senke Anta Goya of vice shopkeeper Fargon Mie
What a bad vice shopkeeper
Though l'm doing badly
l must try to finish it.
Perhaps l'll be a wonderful man.
or it's a secret.
That's my imagination.
Here.
We planned to introduce the other guys
How to put it?
ln this way, the program will be endless.
You said it.
lt is better to see rather than to hear for many
That's SEEl NG lS BELl EVlNG
Right. Exactly.
This time
l'll go on laughing .
Go on talking.
Somebody said that they just heard it without seeing
They'd like to see the picture.
Yeah
Right. There should be some people
There should be
So. . . .for these people
we are going to replay all the classice scenes
we have ever played so far.
lt's a great project.
There're so many classic scenes
We've to make them video tapes.
Let's start.
Please have a look.
l'm Mizuki Maia.Nice to meet you.
Time is over for hide-and-seek. Kitty.
So many things happened
now
Neres Konkoka lsland Branch
that offers you credible, assured and all-around service
This is Neres accepts any requirements and any wishes
from clients.
That's to say, it's a great shop does anything
for somebody's smile.
lt's almost like that.
lt must be
Let's introduce the colleagues working in Neres
meanwhile we'll take about what happened so far.
The Konkoka City we lives in now is a city surrounded by the sea
People gave up the life on the land for the pollution
and chose to live on the seabed.
1 00 years ago
8 seabeds floated to the surface
Thus created the world now.
Living in this kind of world
we've to depend on the sea
My dream is to
manage sea resources here.
The work in Sea Hall
is irreplaceable in human's life
But. . . out of my expectation, l was unqulified .
Thanks to it, l had to move out
of the house l'd ever lived with my grandpa.
And l couldn't find a job.
l was shot by a gun
when l lost my way
lt's Rena-san who shot and saved me.
She is the head of Neres Konkoka lsland Branch
She seems to know everything
She knew that l was in trouble
Under Rena-san's invitation
l started to work in Neres Konkoka lsland Branch
This is Shizuka-san
Mechanic Pro of Neres
How come?
She grew up in a slum
Though she came to Neres a little earlier than me
she is really reliable.
But she has a big stomach
When we traveled in Siberia
she kept eating eating
Jesus. . .
This is also a senior in Neres, Gloria
a master-hand of shooting
But she only cares money
and she often mess up
bully me
Sometimes she wants to fall in love
to show her loveliness
She'd like to experience a sensational love. . .
A wild girl.
The last one is Yuu
a doughty girl.
She has terrific power
The first time l saw her
l thought she was horrible.
l don't think so now.
l feel she is trustworthy.
But there's one thing l've been concealing Neres
l lost my memory
l've lost my meory of childhood
l encountered a shipwreck.
l forgot the past
When l told them about it
they tried their best to help me and investigate my life.
and encourage me
They taught me how to sum up the past and pursue the future
Thanks to their encouragement
Oh, no. . . .their care
l've been working hard for Neres
Of course.
l'm going to attend the employment test of Sea Hall
Er. . . Maia
l've been listening to you
Why didn't you talk about me?
Ah . . . vice-shopkeeer is here. Sorry.
Er. Time is almost up.
Please go on supporting the animation
The Daphne
And l? l? l?
Now it seems that we really did a lot.
Anta
Don't you feel shameful?
Fargon is so tiny
So tiny. So tiny
l think you did a good job.That's too much.
l've been so hardworking
Anta
That's disgusting.
All the audience of the country are watching.
Let it be.
Compromise. Compromise
This is a relaxing and happy program.
Enough. Anta
We're adults.
Right. Right. Forget it. Forget it.
Really happy
Yeah. A happy program
lt's very interesting in the work.
Yeah. Many happy things happened
l heard that the arrangement is not only so.
That is. What is it?
Besides it
we've another video tape for the audience.
This is the outline of the second half of the animation
Looking forward to it. Looking forward to it.
No. With the expectation . . .
show me now
l'm looking forward to the video and outline very much.
Let's see right now. Please.
By the way, it's not done by us.
There're many producers.
Such as, Chigy. . .
The works. . .we. . .
We'll use all.
lt's too tiny to use.
Start the subject.
Look. Look.
Have a look
Look. l'm eager to see it.
lt's not done by us.
That's it.
lt's rare that there're so many producers.
lt's a rare chance.
ls that so?
Yes.
Many representatives of the producers team
Firstly, it's supervisor Chido Lonsy
series construction Susa Kinki
and
The original author of The Daphne, Siku Jigy
and so on
And it brought much trouble for them .
OH , really?
Yup.
Please do. Do watch it.
What's the type and color of the works?
Generally speaking, it's a comic
With the humorous characters and events
it's basically defined as a comic.
What's the emphasis do you want the audience to see?
Er. . .
l'd like them to see what's on the characters' mind
what they have
Would you please tell us
the change of the second half?
The result will be unexpected.
The development of the story goes to the climax
And the riddle will be coming out
Then The Daphne
will talk more about the ocean
l'll try my best. Please look forward to it.
What's the beginning of the layout?
lt happened to one night in the spring , l caught a phone suddenly
l'd like to do something like seabed city
something uncommonsensible
Would you do something uncommonsensible for me?
You know? Kinki
lt's set.
This is the beginning.
Would you please tell us the world view of it?
Well . . .
What'll happen in the second half?
Cartoon . . .
The riddle of the second half will be coming out gradually.
The cartoon and animation will go back together.
lt goes like this way. Please look forward to it.
Thanks for your support.
Please tell us the charm of the characters.
First, speaking of Maia
we didn't plan to make her so fool at the beginning
but make her incredible.
We feel sorry for her dubber Joyu Mayi-san
Would you tell us
the relation between serial cartoons and animations?
As to cartoons
it's the definition of animation a hundred years ago.
lt's produced for the sake of the promotion of animation.
What will happen in the second half?
There're many stories about the ocean and beach
Following the gut
l think there'll be more about the ocean.
Some like humorous cartoons
specially for them
there'll be wonderful scenes later
l hate it.
Why is it goes English question and Japanese answer?
You are right.
lt's strange.
Yep.
But they cooperate well.
l'm wondering how your Enghlish is.
We can just understand it.
Just understand?
Yes.
lt may be very difficult for you to speak
But. . .we may have forgotten someone
Yeah. Did you find out?
Gee who sings OP
Gee is very lovely.
Are you going to interview Gee?
Sure.
Oh, crap.
Senior middle school student
Oh, crap.
What impressed you most in the songs?
Er. When l got the song
l thought it's a very encouraging song
which made you rush forward
lt impressed me very much.
And the scene from water upward to face the sun
You can imagine the next. . .
Thank you.
Whom do you think you like most in the animation?
Whom do you like most
in personality apparently?
Among those
l think l am like Shizuka-san the most
l often wear glasses
l think l look mature
when l wear glasses
So l think l'm most like the role.
Could you leave us a message?
No mater the animation or the song
l want it can
impress you much.
Then . . .
l decided to meet you in the recording studio
on Thursday, May.8th.
Please look forward to it.
See you.
Gee, l'll be waiting for you.
