Baja
Baja's House
My name is Baja.
They all call me that.
I'm Baja, I think.
I came out here when I was little.
I don't remember much of when I was born.
But it went like that, I think.
On the other side of this glass is the outside.
That is a friend of mine.
My duckling friend.
We have never met, but we're friends, I think.
A cat!
No!
I like that big person.
She always brings me food.
Baja's food
Coco: The witch of the Comet
Good morning, Baja.
Hey, stop!
It’s dangerous outside.
In the morning many big people come from outside.
I like them all.
Because they always cuddle me a lot.
So good!
Excuse me, Ishiura?
Has Coco always had this face?
Yes, the other animation directors also draw her this way.
Really?
But in this part, thanks to the comet’s light, Coco...
That little person is named Coco.
They all call her that. She's Coco, I think.
The big persons come in this house every day for her.
And they always work for her.
So Coco is the landlady.
She's the landlady, I think.
Every day, these people draw
the wonderful adventures of coco with magical tools.
I'm sure that Coco is loved by everyone.
Of course, I like it, but it's not my style.
That's why I say to give me at least a little bit of time.
If you like it then commit...
She’s liked by everyone, I think.
Coco’s job is to be a little witch.
It’s a job that fulfills everyone’s desires.
She realizes wishes with a mysterious magical power.
In order to realize them, Coco came from a distant place,
A place called Comet Star that is up in the sky.
But it wasn't just Coco.

Here, Sasaki, how do I put it…
I think it they would ruin the image build for Gi.
No, they won’t ruin anything.
After all, he is a man with a reptilian spirituality.
Practically...
No, I was not referring to that.
Simply, the design...
That black person is named Gi.
They all call him that. He's Gi, I think.
Gi is a very evil wizard.
He always gets in Coco’s way.
With magic, Gi brings to life inanimate objects
and interferes with Coco's spells.
Director.
Yes?
You can protect the character’s image,
but the schedule must not be affected.
Gi causes many problems to big people too.
When it’s nighttime, big people all go back home.
Bye-bye, see you tomorrow.
Bye-bye.
I feel lonely at night.
By night it’s only me, Coco
and Gi.
Only us.
But he is always alone.
Hi.
Did you know? We’re friends.
For a long time now, I think.
Come on! It's time to get to work.
Let’s fly!
I’ve arrived, Baja.
Wake up.
Come on...
Good evening, Baja.
Don’t pass out, Baja.
I'll fulfill your wish!
Then I go!
The comet’s magic is my magic:
Baja’s desire, be realized!
What are you waiting for? Hurry.
Come on, you want to go out, right?
Oh no! You have to hurry!
That cat is treating him badly!
No, no, you have to go through here.
It is a magic that transforms you into whatever you want!
You can become very small,
but also very big!
Come on, go now!
Save your friend!
Wait!
Come on, Baja!
You can do it!
Wait!
Hurray!
Baja!
Wait for me,
now I’ll become big and I’ll save you.
You’re amazing!
Baja! Baja!
Come on, Baja!
Come on, run away now that you can.
Careful!
Baja...
Now, a question.
We can only use magic within the studio,
but what would happen to us if we went out of here?
Gi, cut it.
The answer...
...is this!
Tonight's your last episode!
Coco?
Coco? What’s happening?
She stopped.
She doesn’t move.
Both Coco and my friend…
...aren't moving.
What a silence.
And it was enough for the annoying little witch to go away...
All right, I decided.
From tomorrow, I’ll ban all the chatter in the studio.
Baja.
You don’t have to worry, Baja.
Look up there.
Tonight is the night of the witches, when the star passes.
That comet is the mother star of all witches.
Its light illuminates the earth and gives happiness to everyone.
To you and your friend too.
Did you know, Baja?
You can transform when you prefer.
At any moment, into anything.
Is it fun?
Yes, it’s a lot of fun.
Come on, let's save your friend.
Y-Yes...
It's only the beginning.
My power will be put to the test.
But stay and watch.
Now that I became the overlord,
I swear that I will turn this studio into the evilest company of the industry...
Who’s there?!
Coco?!
I’m back!
Where you waiting for me, Gi?
No, that's...
Eh? Weird.
I’m sure I had thrown her out, where the magic…
Hey, can you tell me how you came back?
Baja helped me.
You're unfair! It's against the rules! Outside, the magic…
Ugh, Gi. You'll look bad if you complain a lot.
Rather, do we do the usual thing?
Dammit!!
Don't think I'll let that go as always!
Hurray, here's the usual thing!
Shut up!
Go, my loyal servants!
Give a lesson to that unlikable little witch!
Is useless.
Evocation of the goddess!
Wh-what?
It's definitely unfair!
Unfortunately for you,
in the nights when the comet's star shines, my spells are perfect!
I don’t understand what you mean...
Come on director! Check the drawings!
They’re weeeeeird!
I feel relieved!
I lost… Moreover, because of the unfairness of the little witch...
It's up to a boy to forgive the whims of a girl, right?
All right, I'll close an eye for today.
In exchange, our fight ended in a tie.

Look, that duckling...
Did you bring it in from the pond, Kanako?
No, it was already here when I arrived this morning.
They seem to be friends.
Ga!
Had he batteries?
Hey, Toshio...
What is it?
What’s happening to this?
Eh? Are you a wizard, Machimura?
It was delicious.
Director, did something good happened to you?
Eh, no, nothing.
But, for some reason...
It's since this morning that I'm in a very good mood.
Ah, maybe because of that? That strange dream.
A dream?
My name is Baja.
His name is Ga.
This morning we became friends.
But actually, we’ve been for a long time.
We've been friends for a long time.
