06 "The Stray Cat is Troubled"
Today, I have gathered you here for nothing less than this...
As your chairman, I have decided on the activities for the Stray Cats Association.
To begin, every weekend, we'll go on a sightseeing tour to experience the local delicacies!
And...
At exclusively reserved hot springs, we'll host ping pong tournaments!
I'd like to go to some castles or temples too.
Already taken care of!
Oh!
And then in Summer, we'll explore the Amazon in a military helicopter!
Or maybe,
we could go out to an Umenomori private island and play to our heart's content!
We could even go skiing in the Himalayas!
What's wrong?
Carrying out that plan would be impossible.
Eh?
Not only do I hate aeroplanes, but I can't watch anime on the other side of the world.
Just record it!
If I'm not there when it first airs, there's no meaning!
There really aren't any castles or temples in Alaska...
That aside, we have our lives to deal with before we can go off having fun.
We're poor.
Sorry about that. I can't leave the store unattended for a long period of time.
Seriously?
Then what kind of activities would be all right with you?
If you've got something great, go and spit it out.
Just saying that won't make it happen...
You made this association, so how about you think it over?
Oh my, are you passing the buck?
It wasn't long ago that I told you what I wanted to do.
Try coming up with something other than a vacation.
No plan.
You're wro~ng!
I'm thinking of things on a grand sca~le!
That's right! The world is our target!
We're going to have worldwide club activities!
How about some specifics...?
Umm...
If you can't think of anything on your own, seek the opinions of those around you!
Ask, "What might we be able to do?"
Ah! Yes, that's the ticket!
We'll gather the opinions of a wide range of people, and we'll do some worldwide activities!
As such, our Stray Cats Association is accepting ideas relevant to our worldwide activities!
Those of you with ideas, write them down, and drop them in the box at the entrance!
[Now accepting ideas!]
This is so exciting...
Listening? We'll split them up to read them, and then choose the best one.
Quantity's not a problem!
We're looking for the content!
Nozomi, read it.
It's from an anonymous 2nd year student.
"What is the Stray Cats Association?"
Don't make fun of us!
What's with you?!
At least Google us before you ask!
We won't show up on Google.
This association has just been established.
You can't blame them for not knowing.
Then we shall make everyone know.
Right, that's it!
We'll make it known what kind of club our Stray Cats Association is, and what our worldwide activities are!
And your method will be?
How about we make a poster and post it on the bulletin board?
Yes, that's it! A poster on the bulletin board!
That's small.
What was that!?
I'm not going to let anyone off for making fun of people's characteristics!
I said that this plan is small!
How many people would find out from a bulletin board?
Weren't you going to spread our name worldwide?
There's passing out flyers at stations.
What's "worldwide" about that...?
What about making a homepage?
Let's get another voice in here.
Commercial.
That's it!
If we upload it to a video sharing website, we can show it to people worldwide!
Yes, that's it!
For a commercial, music is necessary.
Music, huh...
We could all sing together or something.
Meow.
If we're going to go that far, we could make this a promotional video.
That doesn't seem bad.
It's decided!
The first activity of the Stray Cats Association is to produce a promotional video!
The deadline is two weeks from now.
Eh?! Just two?
To show the students and gather potential activity ideas, we have no choice but to finish it before summer vacation, correct?
Everyone, I've decided!
On what?
The promotional video's director.
The guy who made the movie about the little people who throw a cursed ring in a volcano.
Eh...?
If not him, there's the director who made the movie about the little fish girl who runs on waves.
That's an anime.
We're the members, so there's no meaning if we aren't the ones to make it, right?
I agree.
Oh my, do you believe that there is someone here with knowledge of filming
who can compete worldwide with their unique style?
Ahem!
It's up to you, lackey.
Don't ignore me!
Out of everyone, aren't I the one with the most knowledge of filming?!
But all you watch is anime.
I also watch some live-action.
What about the "worldwide?"
Otakuism is a universal language.
Unique style.
Pretty 2D girls are my brides! I can have as many as I please.
And so, it has been decided that Kikuchi Ieyasu-kun shall be the director.
So henceforth, all of you will be following my instructions, see?
I understand that you're worried,
but in the 3D world, he's only interested in cosplay and figurines.
We won't end up getting involved with perverted photography.
I can't believe that.
I'm sure he's going to have us wear weird costumes, and have us dance in a crowded place.
I will not make you dress up in weird costumes, nor make you dance in a crowded place.
Sure, we'll see.
Now that we've heard opposing views, allow me to decide on our cast and staff.
Everyone will be performing, so...
Assistant director is Takumi.
Cameraman, Daigorou.
Script-writing, Kiriya.
The music will be taken care of by Serizawa and Umenomori.
Try to bring us some good lyrics and compositions by tomorrow.
Tomorrow?!
Now see here, we've got only two weeks until the deadline!
And without the music, we can't decide on the movie's image!
She's really working at it, eh?
What about Serizawa?
Yesterday evening, she was humming a tune while cleaning up.
During class, she was tapping out rhythms with her mechanical pencil.
Sounds like she's really motivated.

Well then, should we go and have a brief listen?
I'm kind of looking forward to it.
I'll go after I take out the trash.
Wow. This is a good song, considering you wrote it.
I was taught musicianship by foremost artists when I was a child, so that's obvious.
And are you done?
Of course I am.
Hey!
Gracious! What's this?
Looks like you've got surprisingly good sense for this!
"Surprising" is rude.
Now, show me your lyrics.
Eh?!
Your song's coming first, right?
What are you talking about?
You're up first!
Then I'll show you my lyrics as it's playing.
Seems like they're in a pretty good mood.
Sorry about the wait!
I told you, your song has too much English in it!
It's because it's supposed to be worldwide!
More importantly, the real problem is this song!
What's with this "hmm hmm hmm-ing?!"
It sounds so pathetic!
Call it simple! It's simple!
What are they fighting over?
Pathetic, pathetic!
Their musical sense appears to be differing.
But that's the number one reason music groups break up!
Breaking up before it's formed, huh...
What should we do?
If it's like this, the music won't be decided.
Then there's only one thing to do.
We'll be doing the movie first, so filming starts tomorrow.
But without the music, we can't decide on the image, right?
Ever heard of the expression "ad hoc?"
Worse case, we'll do something with the magic of video editing.
We'll be delaying the music until you two have come to an agreement.
Tokyo Akihabara
Attention all units.
Regarding trespassers... Deal with them "appropriately."
I repeat.
Deal with them appropriately.
We have completed the evacuation of people in a two kilometre radius.
How's that?
When the Umenomori group gets serious, this is the result.
Our concept is "The Stray Cats Association under extraordinary circumstances."
I suppose this much is necessary.
Even so, this seems excessive.
Isn't it because some selfish person said that she didn't want to act in front of people?
Umenomori.
That is?
Ah, that's the Umenomori Building.
It's one metre taller than that one in Dubai!
Break it up for me.
Break up- don't go pulling some clichéd gag!
That building's in the way, so I'm telling you to get it out of the picture!
But we can just erase it with CG later.
People are always doing that these days- this is why movies have got so bad!
But...
Ah... I said it...
Compared to the cost of the one in Dubai, the total cost of this one was...
Oh, so you thought you could make a worldwide promotion video with that degree of dedication? Hmm, yes.
So this was the extent of the Umenomori group's true might.
I'm disappointed.
Marks!
Action!
OK!
I'm pretty sure with just this scene, the overall cost has exceeded a blockbuster 3D movie.
Next up, we head to Otaku Road in Nipponbashi in Osaka-
That has been cancelled.
What?
It's worldwide, so obviously we're going overseas next!
Wait, we told you we can't leave the store alone, right?
It's fine. We'll do filming after store hours.
We can't take time off from school, either!
If we fail the finals, we're done for!
Not a problem. We'll just get back before classes start!
No! I hate planes!
I... didn't bring a passport.
We've spoken to the Department of Foreign Affairs and each country's embassy.
The Umenomori proverb is "Nothing is impossible."
River with Largest Water Basin in the World, Upstream
We really did end up coming here...
Yes, this is an excellent location...
Let's scatter leaves all over this area.
Trivia: Ieyasu is apparently fine with anything but jets
Close your eyes and imagine it...
Trivia: Ieyasu is apparently fine with anything but jets
In this dense jungle, dyed with the colours of autumn...
There frolics three lovely maidens!
Oh, what a beautiful scene this would be.
Um... why do you have to come all the way out to a tropical jungle to present an autumnal image?
I'm sure I told you that the concept here is "the extraordinary!"
It's 100 years too early for an assistant director to question the director!
But seriously...
Fine idea! An autumn jungle!
Oh, Suzuki- I need you to get us something, ASAP.
Hey, can't you be quiet for a bit?!
Your "hmm hmm hmm"-ing's annoying!
Hey, I said it's annoying!
Takumi.
Takumi?
What colour should I make this?
Half-fish Man of the Jungle
Be quiet! I can't concentrate.
Die twice!
I told you to be quiet!
Marks!
Action!
All right! That's a wrap!
No! No! No!
I hate planes!
No! Don't do this!
Hey, can't we do something about him?
With this schedule, we can't sleep any other time than on the plane.
No problem! I'll divert Kikuchi's attention to something other than the plane.
Oh?
Brother...? The truth is, I'm...
How is it? I opened up a satellite channel just for you.
How's this for the Umenomori's true might?
I see it, I see it, I'm looking at it right now!
The truth is... is that I'm... Not your younger brother-
Plot twist?! Unbelievable!
Hey, did you see that last night?
Sure did. Who would have thought that would happen!
Everything's changed after episode 14-
Man, what a great finale that was.
But I didn't get a single wink of sleep.
Sleep during class.
If I fail my finals, I'm done for!
Once Stray Cats closes today, we'll be departing again, okay?
Preserve your stamina!
Yeah!
Whoa!
What is this...?
"108 Cosplaying Middle School Girls Tried to Dance."
Ah! I caught a glimpse!
You pervert! I thought you had no interest in 3D?
This is totally different!
The height of this multiplied by 10 to the power of 9 is equal to the distance from the Earth to the Sun
Did you sleep?
Not at all.
Probably impossible with all that ruckus.
Hey, you.
Tsuzuki Otome
Could you be quiet for a bit?!
Otome-neesan...?
Oh my, it's Takumi!
What are you up to with such a dreary face?
As an association activity, we're out here filming.
What about you?
I heard that pyramid tour organizers were having lots of trouble from graffiti in the passageways...
Well then! Make sure to take care of yourself.
Yeah...
Right then!
Have this entire area covered in snow.
We'll be filming an image of winter this time round.
Close your eyes and imagine...
The dry desert landscape becomes a world of snow...
And there, three frolicking girls are-
Um...
I get the feeling that we could do the same thing at the South Pole...
We're here to get the pyramids and Sphinx in it!
Looking at it like this, it kind of looks like the Sapporo's Snow Festival, right?
Marks!
Action!
All right, it's okay.
Unless you look down on them from the sky, these are so large that you can't understand what they are. The largest one is 50 km long.
Are you all right, Tsuzuki?
These days, I've only been able to sleep during lunch period.
That's enough, you!
How long are you going to continue this?!
Take care of yourself.
Tsuzuki Otome
I'm telling you to shut up already!
Tsuzuki Otome
The wind erosion must be pretty bad, so she's helping to restore it...
What are you zoning out for?
Get your act together.
We're about to start covering this area with the colours of spring.
Eh!?
Close your eyes and imagine...
It's okay, I'll do it.
Unidentified Flying Object
I think I told you that I'm having trouble concentrating...!
Die twice!
Action!
Yup! Okay.
Hold on Takumi. Are you feeling all right?
Yes. I am fine.
I'm sleeping a good thirty minutes a day.
Mmhmm.
Yeah.
Who is he...?
Won't be long before I'm on that side.
His ancestors?
What?!
Infirmary
This seems considerably dangerous.
And so you see, when I said I'd be over there soon,
they told me that it's too early for me to go.
Then you're still fine.
The last day of filming is right after this one.
You can do it.
World's Tallest Mountain
Since 2002, the government of Nepal has banned youth under 16 from climbing this mountain.
Listen up!
We'll have to do this in one take, so fight for it!
Put all your effort into it!
Himalayan Yeti (Male)
Seeing one here is not strange.
Right, don't mess up the timing of the explosion.
It would be bad if anything happens.
If push comes to shove, use this.
What?! Why do I have to wear my uniform outside?
The image of this scene is summer.
Over.
Do you have a screw loose or something?!
It's minus 30 degrees outside!
Over!
The scene takes only a second, it's no big deal!
If you don't hurry up, you'll be late for school!
Are you okay with Takumi failing?
Over.
Action!
Okay! We'll pick you up immediately, so be prepared.
Over.
Pardon, but do you have a moment to spare?
Huh?! A snowstorm's coming so you can't pick us up?
Yes, conditions are too dangerous for a helicopter to take off.
But the wind should subside soon, so please conserve your oxygen until that time.
Over.
Roger.
We'll contact you in an hour.
Is the wind really going to subside?
How much do we have remaining?
If we use it wisely, about six hours remain.
This isn't good.
Ah, we'll be late for school...
Talk and your oxygen use will increase.
Oh, right...
Daigorou gave me this.
"How to Not Get Stranded on a Mountain."
Exactly what we are
Takumi!
Have the heavens abandoned them?
I hope that book comes in handy.
Hold on, Takumi! Wake up!
You can't fall asleep!
...I was having a dream...
We finished the promotion video, and we were all watching it...
What was the video like?
Everyone looked so beautiful.
Don't go saying stupid stuff.
It was such a pretty scene...
But... There wasn't any music for it...
Fumino... Umenomori...
Promise me something.
Acknowledge each other's good points and finish the video without fail.
Okay.
Ah... They've come to pick me up...
Wait, Takumi! Keep it together!
Nozomi, contact the others!
We can't. The battery has died.
Takumi! You can't go!
Let's go back to Japan together!
Otome-neesan!
Takumi!
You called?
Lately, there's trouble with mountain climbers leaving behind their trash,
tarnishing the mountain's beauty.
So I came to clean it up, but...
Who would have thought that I would end up meeting you all there!
Well, I'm glad you've come to an agreement, but summer vacation starts the day after tomorrow.
Considering the time required for editing, we might have to use some other song.
I have a good solution.
We use Chise's music and Fumino's lyrics.
Can we do that?
Yes, with a bit of fiddling, I think.
After coming all this way, there's no point in using a professional artist's song.
Guess there's no alternative, hmm?
All right! Let's show the entire world what we're capable of!
Yeah!
Well? Did you finish it?
Yeah, I uploaded it last night.
