[young Ganta groans]
[FINISHER CERTIFICATE,
FULL MARATHON - BOYS DIVISON]
[soft mysterious music]
[water drips]
Huh?
Mommy?
[opening theme]
[engine rumbles]
[both panting]
We just barely made it.
Yeah, today would've been
totally wasted
if we had missed it.
So, Mitsukejima.
I wonder if it's as
big as they say.
I've only seen pictures of it
in pamphlets and on websites.
[Isaki chuckles]
[soft curious music]
[inaudible]
[ANAMIZU STATION]
[MITSUKEJIMA INLET]
[Isaki] We're here!
Now we just have to find
our way to the actual island.
That way, maybe?
[cicadas chirping]
[Ganta] There are no
other people around here.
[Isaki] Weird.
Are we going the wrong way,
you think?
[soft music continues]
[kid 1] Race you to the island!
[kid 2] You're on! [laughs]
[mother] No running, boys!
-Okay!
-Okay!
I guess we're going right way.
[waves lapping]
[seagulls squawking]
[both gasp]
Oh!
It's huge!
So this is it.
Mitsukejima!
Let the adventure begin.
The first step is getting
permission to set up our tents.
I'll go to the park office.
Watch over the luggage
Come on.
We can walk across
that rock path
and go all the way
to the island.
[Ganta] I'm not going.
Hey, don't be like that!
We'll do it together, okay?
Come on!
[pleasant music]
[Ganta panting]
Isaki!
I got us a camping permit!
Way to go!
Let's set up the tents
and store everything inside,
except our valuables.
Then we'll check our
potential photo spots
while it's still light out.
[Isaki] There's so much to do!
Wanna run to the campgrounds?
Nah, let's follow
the map and walk.
This is our overworld map!
A layout of the
campsite, actually.
[Isaki chuckles]
[cicadas chirping]
This must be the healing point!
[MITSUKEJIMA ROMANCE GATE]
[FALLING HEAD OVER KEELS]
Look, it's a save point!
Game saved!
[seagulls squawking]
[shutter clicks]
[Ganta sighs]
[Isaki chuckles]
[Ganta] I learned that
finding the best places
for a photoshoot like this
is called "location scouting."
Also, it's very common for
our perception of the view
to change between day and night.
So it's best to try
framing things differently
after it gets dark.
Wow.
[both sigh]
There are no clouds or wind.
Doesn't get more perfect than
this for taking pictures.
[Ganta inhales]
I'm getting nervous now.
We will begin shooting
once the sun goes down.
Got it.
[spotlight clacks]
-Huh?!
-Huh?!
It has a spotlight!
But why?!
Let me check.
Every year during
the summer vacation season,
Mitsukejima will be illuminated
after the sun goes down.
So that's why.
Aw.
[comedic music]
[Isaki] Oh!
"The lights will be shut off
at 11:00 PM."
Apparently.
All right!
[Isaki] Whoa, he bounced back
like a cicada that just molted.
Since we already ate
dinner earlier,
what else can we
do to pass time?
Oh, I know!
It's time for my
special talent to shine.
Remember, the one where I recite
all of the dialogue
from Tororo?
Mmm.
Ah, never gonna get to
show it off!
-Oh, new idea.
-Hmm?
[Isaki] We didn't get to explore
Mitsukejima during the day.
So let's take a closer look now.
[Ganta gasps]
[relaxed music]
[Isaki chuckles]
[Ganta whimpers]
[Ganta grunts]
[Isaki laughs]
You okay?
It's too risky!
We should head back.
[Isaki chuckles]
Come on, our big adventure
has finally started.
You know, I've been so hyped
for it this whole time!
Isaki wait, you-
[Ganta shouts]
[Ganta groans]
[Isaki] You okay?
[soft awe-inspiring music]
[Isaki gasps]
Incredible
[Isaki] These are
totally different
from the stars we saw in Nanao.
[Ganta] Yeah.
[laughs]
It's a blanket of stars!
[Isaki laughs]
[shutter clicks]
[Ganta] ISO 3200.
F-stop 2.8.
Exposure time: 10 seconds.
And to create a
composite photograph,
we'll let it keep shooting
for two hours straight.
First a test shot.
ISO 3200 2.8
Exposure time is 10 seconds.
Composite photograph: two hours.
[shutter clicks]
Okay.
So all we do now is wait.
[lighthearted music]
[shutter clicks]
[Ganta] It should be
done pretty soon.
Let's go check.
[Isaki] Did it work?
Mm-hmm.
It's already 3:00 AM?
That figures.
I'm not even sleepy!
Not at all!
Hey, are we just
invincible or what?
Invincible peas in a pod.
[cicadas chirping]
[Isaki groans]
[Ganta yawns]
[both snoring lightly]
[EPISODE 11:
THE FIRST STARS OF DAWN]
[THE PLEIADES STAR CLUSTER]
[door opens]
[Isaki] We're back!
Huh?
[footsteps]
[Isaki] Oh right,
she's not here.
[sighs]
[bag rustling]
It's so quiet.
[Ganta] Mm-hmm.
Since it's just the two of us.
All alone
[Isaki sighs]
Oh yeah, I think
I'll take a bath.
'Kay.
[Isaki] Hey, do those
need to be washed?
[Ganta] Hm Yeah.
I'm gonna start the washing
machine while I'm at it.
Give 'em here.
Hand them over.
Nope, that's okay!
[relaxed music]
Washing them separately
would be wasting resources!
Well, mine are
too dirty and sweaty.
It's fine!
Come on.
[Ganta sighs]
[washing machine beeping]
Oh, Isaki.
What's up?
Any food you want me to make?
If we have ingredients for it.
Hmm.
Gyoza!
[knife thudding]
[relaxed music continues]
[Ganta sighs]
[Isaki]
Think you can make gyoza?
We need to go shopping for
a few things we're missing.
Okay, then let's pump up
the bike tires.
[Isaki panting]
The next town over is pretty
far, huh?
[Ganta] Let's start
by getting some ginger.
Found it.
Mmm.
[GINGER, 170 YEN]
Bingo! This one's good.
[Ganta chuckles]
Hmm, only 80 yen!
But this has three packs of
150 grams for a hundred yen.
If yours is 300 grams for 80,
then this one might
be a better deal.
[Isaki] Our living finances
are pretty tight.
Gotta save anywhere we can.
Yeah, let's just stick to
only buying what we need.
Yeah, good plan.
[relaxed music continues]
[Isaki giggling]
Yes!
A watermelon?
It totally counts as a "need"!
[bell tinkles]
What kind of gyoza
are we having?
Shiso gyoza.
We just need to wrap
and cook them now.
Wow. I wanna try wrapping them.
[Ganta] After you put a
lump of filling in the middle,
get it wet around the edges,
and wrap it like this to
create the little folds.
[pleasant music]
And to finish, just
squeeze the edges tight.
Ah, the filling all came out!
It's best to add only a
minimal amount of filling.
What? But I want a big gyoza!
[gyoza sizzling]
Oh.
Ooh!
[Isaki clapping]
[both laughing]
They're all stuck
to each other!
Nope, just the ones you made.
Mine are fine.
What?! [laughs]
[Ganta sighs]
[water running]
[Isaki sighs]
Hey, Ganta, um, can we talk?
See this groove for
the sliding door?
That's going to be
our boundary line.
We're not allowed to cross
into each other's
territory, okay?
Okay.
And that will last
until tomorrow morning.
Okay.
All righty then.
See you in the morning.
[Ganta sighs]
[Ganta]
It's been a nonstop adventure
since I woke up yesterday,
and we worked
through the night.
So I should be exhausted
at this point.
But right now, I can't sleep.
[notification pops]
Hmm?
[MAGARI: 1 NEW MESSAGE]
[TODAY]
[Ganta laughs]
Hm.
[camera clicks]
Hmm?
[Isaki laughs]
Guess that worked.
[READ]
Hm, are those her knees?
[camera clicks]
[Isaki laughs]
These pictures with
your glasses aren't fair.
Can I leave the
sliding door open?
It's kind of hot
with it all closed up.
Mm-hmm.
[THINK YOU CAN SLEEP TODAY??]
[WELL I JUST NOTICED
BUT IT'S ONLY 11 PM]
[SURPRISE]
[Ganta snoring lightly]
[crickets chirping]
[train rattling]
[birds chirping]
[Ganta groans]
[calm music]
[Isaki groans]
[HONEY]
Do you like milk in your coffee?
Mm-hmm.
[Ganta] It's strange.
Like
What is this feeling?
Zoom!
Hey, what are you
spacing out about?
Nothing.
Did you lock the door?
Yep.
All right.
Let's go!
[laid-back music]
[shutter clicks]
[laid-back music continues]
[SENMAIDA RICE TERRACES]
[shutter clicks]
[keyboard clacking]
Hey!
Huh?
Wanna play ninjas,
or just cut it and eat
it like regular people?
Hmm.
Mmm, that's the
taste of summer!
Eating this watermelon
makes me feel
like our summer mission
is half complete.
Geez, who knew watermelon
was so important?
[bugs chirping]
[plants rustle]
[Ganta] I wish things would
stay like this forever.
[Isaki] Yeah.
[Ganta] Actually,
ever since we came here,
something has felt
a little off.
Like I don't have any anxiety.
Every day I get to do
the things I want,
and nothing else gets
in the way.
I wake up in the morning
and I find you next to me,
and that makes me feel
really at peace.
Since you shared
your secret with me,
do you mind if I share mine?
About the reason why
I can't sleep.
[Isaki sighs]
I'm not sure where it started,
or what triggered it.
My memory is
pretty fuzzy on this.
It's just that morning
really scares me.
[soft melancholic music]
'Cause if I fall asleep,
I know that tomorrow will come.
Tomorrow is bound to be
so much worse than today.
It overwhelms me.
That's why I keep trying
to live an extended "today."
[Ganta sniffling]
[soft music continues]
How I ended up this way,
I really don't know.
It's like I've been
afraid of tomorrow
since
[water claps]
[soft music continues]
Tastes salty.
[Ganta] Ah, Isaki!
Ah!
[Isaki squeals]
Ah.
Just wait a sec!
[Isaki groans]
Wait a minute!
You're gonna
walk right into the sea!
Huh?
[Ganta splashes]
Ganta!
[Ganta panting]
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
M-my glasses!
Calm down, you're okay.
They're in your hand.
Huh?
Oh.
[Isaki giggles]
Making eye contact now
just feels funny.
[both laughing]
I'm gonna get you a towel.
Um, so, what do we-
Uh
Let's leave things how they are
till we reach the finish line.
'Kay?
[Isaki giggles]
[Ganta grunts]
Isaki kissed me!
[washing machine thumping]
Man, I totally missed my chance
to say something
more thoughtful.
But even so,
I feel a little relieved.
[water splashes]
[Ganta inhales]
Finish line for our trip,
the Mawaki Site.
That's where I'm going to
tell her how I feel about her.
[soft music]
Strange.
Tonight I actually don't
want to sleep.
