[Haida]
Say goodbye to my pale skin!
Tanning salon?
Part-time beach job.
Gonna get green and get tan.
Big-brain move!
[Haida] Yeah, I should
gets first place
in the brain awards!
Stop goofing off.
-Genius, brah!
-Keep up the pace, boys.
-Yes sir.
-Yes sir.
This is the worst feeling ever.
The dread of not knowing
what's on your report card!
But just shake it off!
Hmm!
[others] The worst thing around
this place is your attitude.
[gentle music]
How was it yesterday,
the broadcast?
Ah, huh?
I fell asleep in
the middle of it.
Wait, what?!
Well, whatever.
It's fine.
I don't even remember what I
talked about last night anyway.
[prinicipal] Congratulations.
Today marks the end
of the first semester.
Those of you in your third year,
please make the most
of your summer break.
Start preparing for your future.
[Anamizu shouts]
There's no time to waste,
so use it wisely.
And for those of you
in your first year,
I hope you enjoy your first
summer break of high school.
[opening theme]
[GREEN TEA WITH MATCHA]
[STEAMY KELP TEA LATTE]
Hmm What should I get?
I like to just press both
buttons at the same time
and leave it up
to fate to decide.
[Anamizu groans]
Ganta and Ukegawa
are taking forever.
Do you think something happened?
They said all they had
to do was submit a plan
for the meteor shower
viewing party.
[Kanikawa laughs]
Well, I bet the student
council rejected their plan,
and now they're too ashamed
to show their faces!
Ah!
But we've done so
much to prepare for it.
If that's the case,
they'd be upset.
Should we look for them?
Yeah, let's go!
I was ready to go
eat lunch anyway.
Huh?
What's the matter?
[Anamizu groans]
[STEAMY KELP TEA LATTE]
This stuff is super disgusting.
Oh my god, for real?
-Let me try!
-I wanna taste!
[excited gasp]
[Kanikawa] Ew!
It's so bad, it's funny!
[Nono] Let me try some!
[STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE]
-[Isaki] Can you see anything?
-[Kanikawa] Nope.
[Isaki] Open the door
a little more.
[group shouts]
Hm?
Sorry, I thought the
door would be heavier.
Ah geez, you stupid muscle-head!
What?! What did you say?!
[Ukegawa]
What are you guys doing?
Did your plan get approved?
Uh, uh-huh.
[Isaki chuckles]
It took some time
to hash things out
since the Astronomy Club's new.
Yeah! Yeah!
Boo, so we're here for nothing.
[Anamizu groaning]
Waste of time.
But this is the first time
I've ever been in the
student council office!
[Anamizu] Yeah, regular students
usually aren't allowed inside.
[Nono] So this is where all
the secret meetings happen.
It's the perfect spot.
-Huh?
-Hm?
Let's all have
our lunch here today!
Well, I guess
If you can keep it a secret.
-[Isaki laughs] Hooray!
-[Kanikawa] Yeah!
-[Isaki] Woohoo!
-[Anamizu] All right!
[upbeat music]
Oh, your rice balls are huge!
I got practice after this.
Nom, nom, nom,
nom, nom, nom.
Nom, nom, nom,
nom, nom, nom.
Oh shucks! That's the cleanest
corn cob I've ever seen!
All done.
[Isaki] You can take
that to a talent show.
Speaking of talents,
did you know I can read and
write over 100 kinds of fish?
[group] Ohh.
[Anamizu] I can ride a unicycle
pretty much anywhere.
[group] Hm?
What about you?
Who, me?
I can sense earthquakes
that are magnitude 1.
Uh, yeah, I guess that
is pretty amazing.
Hey, I've got one!
Check this out.
Hyper speed blinking!
[Isaki] Uh
I've got another
one to show you.
Hm?
Eyeball relay.
That's crazy!
What? How do you do that?!
[Isaki laughs]
[group laughs]
Okay, I'm next!
[STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE]
[Ukegawa] See you later.
I'm gonna return the key
to the front office.
I gotta go to practice.
Same here.
Hm.
[Nono] Goodbye!
Later.
[Isaki sighs]
Hm, what's wrong?
I wish there had been time
to show off my special talent
of reciting "My Pal Totoro"
from memory.
[Ganta gasps]
[light breathing]
[young Ganta laughs]
[Ganta's mother] Look
up at the sky, sweetie.
Oh?
[Ganta's mother]
There are so many stars.
Aren't they beautiful?
[Ganta gasps]
[sad grunt]
Ah
[loud clank]
[Ganta groans]
[sigh]
[student] Let's go, girls!
You can do it, come on!
[Anamizu grunts]
Hustle, hustle!
Heading your way, Anamizu!
[cicadas chirping]
[boy grunts]
Thanks.
[boy] Hey, Anamizu, right?
I'm thinking about attending
that viewing party tomorrow.
Can you get me registered
or whatever?
Sure.
[lighthearted music]
[Nono] All finished!
I hope it'll stand out
enough from a distance.
[Ukegawa] Let's back up and see.
[Nono giggles]
How does it look?
[KUYO HIGH SCHOOL,
COME THIS WAY]
[door opens]
[Anamizu] Whew!
It's cool in here.
Huh, where's everybody else?
[Nono]
They haven't shown up yet.
Isaki and Kani are doing
some shopping first.
And Ganta went to file
an application
so we can use the road.
Is that a signboard
for the viewing party?
It definitely catches the eye.
Awesome!
[Nono laughs]
[Isaki sighs]
This one's probably good.
-Check these out!
-Oh.
Well? Fashionable?
Whoa, those kind light up!
Let's make that dope
wear it for the viewing.
Great idea!
Ganta will totally hate it!
[both laugh]
Feels like an oven.
I'm burning up, ugh.
I'm melting.
[door opens]
[rapid footsteps]
[Kanikawa] Thank god, cool air!
Those bags were heavy.
I don't have to do any more
work after this, right?
Yep, good job, me!
Your duty's done.
No, we're not done yet.
Huh?
You better think twice
before giving me lip
because I'm the one
with the snacks!
[Anamizu groans]
[bag rustling]
[Kanikawa] Yummy.
[Anamizu groans]
[SNACK BUN]
So yummy.
You're my goddess!
Yeah, that's what I thought.
[Nono] Really? So you and Ganta
have been friends since
you were little kids?
[Ukegawa] Yep. Ever since
elementary school.
[Nono] Oh, that's so cool!
What was Ganta like back then?
Good question.
In some ways,
he's exactly the same.
But in other ways,
he's a totally different person.
Like he was just as
studious back then,
but he was more energetic
and into sports.
And he could run faster
than anybody.
[all] What?!
I can't even imagine
an energetic Ganta!
I don't believe it.
You're exaggerating.
No lie.
I was seriously envious of him.
He ran like a jet down a runway.
It was a real sight to see.
But unfortunately,
he slowed down at one point.
He didn't have new shoes
to accommodate
how big his feet were growing.
So he just ran around
while crushing the heels.
[Kanikawa laughs]
Oh, that is so him!
He may be book smart,
but I guess he's always had
a screw or two loose, huh?
I mean, how hard is it
to change shoes?
But hold up.
I kind of doubt shoes
can explain why he is
such a klutz these days.
Hey, what's going on?
[Kanikawa screams]
What are you, a frickin' ninja?
[Ganta] Hmm?
Are we allowed to use the road?
Yeah, no problems there.
[Kanikawa pants]
Okay, so all we need to decide
now is where to place everybody.
-Well, about that.
-[Ukegawa] Huh?
I assigned everyone
to a spot already.
[NONO, ANAMIZU,
KANIKAWA, MAGARI]
[Ukegawa] Hmm.
[Ganta] What do you think?
No objections here.
Ah, there's no shade in my spot.
No way, I hate it!
Dedication outweighs a sunburn.
Then dedicate yourself
to switching places.
[Anamizu groans]
Please come right this way for
the meteor shower viewing party!
Does that sound good?
Mm-hmm, it's perfect!
Are people really going
to show up for this?
-Don't be silly, man.
-Huh?
Just the student body alone,
we have more than 50
people who want to come.
Huh?
That's awesome!
It must be because
of the poster.
[Nono laughs]
Oh, there's this guy
I know who told me today
that he was interested
in coming too.
My parents are donating
some ramune drinks
from our restaurant, so you can
hand them out to the guests.
[Ganta gasps]
Okay, so now what?
What else do we need to do?
All that's left is to
wait for the meteors.
But
Huh?
[Ukegawa chortling]
[Isaki laughs]
[Isaki] You look so stupid!
[springs clanking]
[group laughs]
[uplifting music]
I can't wait.
Tomorrow's the day!
[Ganta chuckles]
[rain pattering loudly]
[INFORMATION DESK]
[Ganta] This is my fault.
[mysterious music]
[EPISODE 8:
THE CONGREGATION STAR]
[THE PLEIADES STAR CLUSTER]
[rain pattering]
[Kurashiki]
Is that the last of it?
Yeah, we moved everything
that can't get wet.
Want a towel?
Ah, yeah, thank you.
[Ukegawa] Dang
Can't believe
what a downpour it is.
[Nono] The forecast
isn't very reliable, huh?
Ganta?
Doesn't seem like the rain
will stop anytime soon.
[Kanikawa] What are we gonna do
when it comes time
for the event?
[Anamizu] Like we have a choice.
[Kurashiki sighs]
Ganta, I'm sorry,
but we're gonna have
to cancel it.
[Anamizu] Stupid rain.
[Nono] So many people
seemed interested in it.
What a shame.
[Kanikawa] And after
all the work we did.
[Ukegawa]
That's just how it goes.
Nobody can control
Mother Nature.
station.
Huh?
The station.
People might
still be trying to come.
With the rain this bad,
people will know it's canceled.
She's right. At least wait a
little to see if it dies down-
I'm sorry, everyone!
[group] Huh?
I'm so sorry.
It's all my fault!
[Ukegawa grunts]
[group] Uh
[Ganta panting]
Ganta!
[somber music]
[rain pattering loudly]
[Ganta yelling]
[sobbing]
[INFORMATION DESK]
Okay, after party anyone?
[group] Ah
[group groans]
[Kurashiki] Fine, then who
doesn't wanna go
to the after party?
Great, everyone's going.
Is the telescope
the only valuable thing?
Drop that off in the office and
leave the cleanup for later.
Ukegawa, send Ganta
a message for me.
"Meet up at Top One.
Nurse Kurashiki is treating
all of us to hamburgers."
[Anamizu] Wish we could've
had the viewing party.
[Kanikawa] Really? I wouldn't
have pegged you
for the stargazing type.
-How weird.
-[Anamizu] Shut up.
[Nono] Nurse Kurashiki,
are you sure
you can afford dinner
for all of us?
[Kurashiki] Well,
you can only order stuff
that I have a coupon for.
Any word from Ganta?
No, doesn't even show
he's ready yet.
Maybe I'll go check
by the station.
[foot stomps]
I'll go, too!
Ah!
I'll backtrack to Nanao Station
and do a quick sweep around it.
[Isaki] And I'll go
check along the river,
starting from the convenience
store!
[Isaki pants]
[gentle music]
[gentle music]
[panting]
[Isaki gasps]
[HAVE ANY LUCK ON YOUR END?]
[AT THE STATION. DON'T SEE HIM.]
[gasp]
[strained grunts]
[Isaki groans]
[wind howling]
[gasp]
[gentle music]
Ganta?
Ganta?
Ganta! Ganta!
Ganta!
[Isaki panting]
[Ganta] Isaki
Ganta!
I found you.
[light gasp]
[water splashing]
[light chuckle]
Whew!
The rain is crazy out here.
You were walking the opposite
direction from school.
Were you not coming back?
[Ganta] Sorry
[rain pattering loudly]
[RECORDING]
Check, check.
Check, one, two.
Welcome to my radio show.
Today's the meteor shower
viewing party.
Despite all the work that our
group did to prepare
for the event,
it was hit by a storm.
It's pouring.
It's a huge bummer.
I was really looking
forward to it
and believed that everything
would go off without a hitch.
Grueling stuff, huh?
[Ganta] I worked hard.
I did everything that
I possibly could
to prepare for this,
but it meant nothing.
'Cause a power came along
that I couldn't do
anything about
and ended it all.
It is grueling.
I hate it.
because the more methodically
that I try to approach things,
the more certain they are
to get ruined in the end!
[Ganta sobbing]
All the time, it's
always like this for me.
[sobbing]
[river rushing]
Do you remember
this bus station?
We were here.
Our first Nightly Fun Society.
This is the place we hid to
avoid getting caught by the cop.
I remember.
I was worried then too.
My heart was racing so fast,
I felt like I couldn't breathe.
Yeah, I noticed
because I heard the
sound of your heartbeat.
And mine started racing too.
[Ganta gasps]
And ever since that day,
I've always thought of you
as someone special to me.
[pattering]
[Isaki grunts]
[Ganta grunts]
[gentle music]
[Isaki sighs]
[Ganta gasps]
I-
[bus squealing]
[rain pattering]
[hearts beating]
[anxious grunt]
[hearts beating]
Isaki, I also-
[Ganta groans]
[Isaki groans]
[hearts beating]
[Yui gasps]
[Ganta gasps]
[Yui] Philanderer!
[Ganta and Isaki screaming]
Please wait! It's not like that!
[Isaki] Yui, wait!
[Ukegawa] So there are a bunch
of other meteor showers?
[Kurashiki] The next one will
be the Draconid meteor shower.
I think it's at the
beginning of October.
About 10 days after that,
there's the
Orionid meteor shower.
[Ukegawa] I didn't realize
they happen so frequently.
[Kurashiki]
There's nothing more abundant
than stars in the sky,
after all.
The Geminid meteor
shower in December
would be good for
the next viewing party.
Sounds great. That'll be
our chance to try again.
-Awesome.
-[Kanikawa] Just make sure
you have the after party
at my family's restaurant.
Do you remember how Ganta
said this was all his fault?
Why would he think
something like that?
[Nono gasps]
Maybe he kicked a stack
of sacred stones
near a shrine or something.
[Nono groans]
[Kanikawa] Don't be so
superstitious, Nono.
Or maybe he peed on a frog.
That causes rain.
Huh, then Ganta's
a total sleazeball!
[Kanikawa screams]
Again with the
frickin' ninja routine!
[Ganta] Uh
You took a long time.
My apologies.
Everybody, I'm sorry.
[group gasps]
[Ukegawa] Come on, Ganta.
Don't be so serious.
There's nothing for you
to apologize about.
Yeah, what she said.
There'll be more meteor showers.
It'll be a success next time.
[lighthearted music]
[Ganta gasps]
Yeah, next time for sure.
[Ganta sighs]
[Isaki chuckles]
[server] Here you go.
[Ukegawa] Where exactly
did you go anyway?
I was just too ashamed
to come back.
So I took shelter from
the rain in a bus stop.
Oh?
[Yui growls]
Hey, that's mine.
[lighthearted music]
[shrimp heads crunching]
[Ganta groans]
[Isaki groans]
It's considered bad table
manners to play with your food.
[Yui] Tsk.
[both groan]
[ending theme]
