Asobi Asobase: Workshop of Fun (2018) s01e11 Episode Script

1
Goodbye, Student Council President
Nope.
Why not, Student Council President?!
It's an epic!
I even made a poster.
No matter how epic it may be,
I can't allow it to be screened
at the cultural festival.
There are way too many things
that make it a no-go.
Especially troubling was the torture scene,
where you tried to shove an
onion-head doll up her ass.
That was faked!
I told you to cut that scene, Kasumi-san!
She's so freaked out.
In any case, I can't allow it.
Please bring us another proposal
for the cultural festival.
We'll be back with a director's cut version.
The director's cut must be even worse.
Student Council President
work is pretty drab.
Is my precious term going to end responding
to all these stupid problems?
How long will you be here tomorrow?
Let's see
There are still some clubs that
haven't submitted their proposals,
so I need to bug them.
The vice president should be here,
so she should respond in my place.
There's a vice president?
There is, believe it or not.
And then what happened?
I wonder when the vice
president's getting here.
Hey, President! Sowwie!
I'm back from the meeting with Opposite-san.
Thank you, Vice President.
Can you take it from here?
Roger that.
Girls' School
Convenience store
Hospital
The cultural festival is held
every year with the boys' school
on the opposite side of the street.
Boys' school
Everyone calls the boys' school
by their nickname, Opposite-san.
And this vice president goes to the
boys' school just about every day,
saying it's for "meetings."
By herself, no less.
Um, should I come to Opposite-san
with you for once?
It must be tough holding meetings
with them by yourself.
It's okay.
I mean, you have a lot to do.
I don't want to waste your
time doing grunt work.
I see.
To be honest, I'm the one
doing grunt work every day.
Thank you for your consideration.
The negative emotions in my heart
spread like soy sauce stains.
Hey, what's up?
What? You miss me?
Okay, sure.
I'll be right back.
Sorry, President, they need me for stuff
again, so I'm going back to Opposite-san.
But I have to go visit the other clubs.
I need you to watch the office.
You should just put up a sign
saying "Not in the office."
Actually, I'll go to Opposite-san while
I'm out visiting the other clubs,
so I'd like you to stay here.
No way.
I'm the only one who knows how to do it.
Just tell me, and I'll deal with it.
Nope, nope, nope! You wouldn't
get it, even if I told you.
It's really complicated.
Okay, now what?
I want to solve everything peacefully.
I absolutely don't want to get in
a fight with the vice president.
But just once
Just once in my life
I want to go visit Opposite-san.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Oh, no, I ran out in such a hurry.
This is awful. She isn't on to me, is she?
She hasn't realized that I wanted
to go to the boys' school, has she?
I never knew I had such a slutty streak.
Please don't let anyone notice
this tiny bud within me.
Boys' school! Woo!
The president's happy to go to Opposite-san?
That's a bit creepy.
Supernatural
Phenomena
Science Club
AKA Occult Club
Oh, yeah, the Occult Club hasn't
submitted their proposal yet.
I should go in and ask them first.
Th-They have terrifying glares, as always.
Is something wrong, President?
Uh, you haven't submitted a
proposal for your contribution
to the cultural festival, have you?
We plan on opening a snack shop.
Huh, a snack shop?
I see, I see.
Is that
I can't bring myself to ask if
it's safe for human consumption.
That sounds delicious.
Please have one, President.
Th-Thank you.
Please let me know what you think.
Have it now, please.
Th-Thank you.
That gesture
It was like a "have mercy" pose.
Okay, please bring me your proposal later.
Supernatural
Phenomena
Science Club
AKA Occult Club
Please let me be safe.
Why did you have squid ink
spaghetti for lunch, Hanako?
It reeked pretty bad.
Mom's hooked on squid ink right now.
Your lips are black as hell.
Hey, President.
That's perfect.
President!
Could you look at the movie again?
Onion-head's not in it anymore.
Wait, hang on a second.
I'm going to Opposite
Oh, yeah, I saw you come
out of the Occult Club.
Hey, they're running a snack shop
for the cultural festival, right?
Huh? How did you know?
Have you happened to try
the Occult Club's candy?
Yes.
They gave me one yesterday.
One-day incubation period
Please go see a doctor as soon
as you can, too, Honda-san.
What was that?
It was like a "have mercy" thing.
It's a message from the president.
She's going to the hospital, huh?
I guess I'm going to Opposite-san, then!
Tee hee
The president had no idea that
the vice president was going out
with all six members of the
Opposite-san student council.
This leads to the worst bloodshed
in the school's history,
but that's a story for another time.
Asobi Asobase
Oka-ken Witch Project
Luu.
Isn't it great that the
president tried our candy?
Yeah.
I'm sure we'll get approval
for the snack shop.
Oh, and I want to make other
snacks, aside from candy.
Good idea.
Let's make a huge menu.
All right, let's go for it.
Yeah.
Let's witch cooking!
How about cookies?
That sounds easy.
Yeah, you just have to knead
it, mold it and bake it.
It would be kind of lame
doing normal cookies though.
Okay, let's draw designs for
witchy cookies and share them.
Okay.
And then what happened?
Okay, let's share them.
I propose witch hat and broom cookies.
That's so cute.
How about yours, Agrippa?
A mouse jammed into concrete cookie.
You sure are crazy.
Thank you!
Want to make all of these, then?
Yeah, let's do that.
Done!
They turned out well.
Yeah.
How about yours, Agrippa?
They're almost done.
My grandma gave me this
vial of magic essence.
Can I pour a drop in the end?
What does it do?
I don't know.
But my grandma taught me a long time ago
Aguri, this is a magic essence to
use when the time is truly right.
Is it magic?
It sure is.
Just a drop of this when you need
it, and it'll make everyone happy.
Okay, let's do it.
Let's make everyone who tries it happy!
Faculty Room
Me? Taste test it?
Yes, Sensei.
We want to hear what you think of it.
Are you sure you want me to try it?
I can't wait.
What's that, Sensei?
The Occult Club girls made these snacks.
That's great.
What does it look like?
What is this?!
Cookies.
I think they'll be delicious.
Try it.
Hey, it just tastes like a normal cookie.
It has an utterly normal texture
and an absolutely normal flavor.
Normal.
Sensei's expectations were so low that
he's acting like he had the
ultimate dish even though
all he's saying is that it's normal.
We're thinking of selling
these at the cultural fair.
What do you think?
I think it'd be good.
Kids would probably love these designs.
More than anything, it tasted
normal. It was great.
Good for us, Agrippa.
Yeah.
Maybe Grandma's magic essence worked.
Thank you, Grandma.
I'll be waiting at Walpurgis Night.
Cookies
I want those cookies
Cookies
Asobi Asobase
Face of Mass Destruction
Pastimers Club
How are we going to get approval
for our cultural fair movie?
Oh yeah, we never got to
meet the vice president.
What was she even like, anyway?
I think she made a speech
when she took office.
I was asleep standing. I don't remember.
She seemed really proper.
Like the president?
Yeah, yeah.
She had the same kind of
vibe as the president.
President!
I'm headed to Opposite-san again.
I'd like to speak to you about the posters.
Wh-What about them?
53rd Cultural Festival
Is it true that this is the final version?
Th-The art club says this
is all they could draw.
So, they've taken on surrealist influences
It's a deconstruction of
the concept of humanity
and a prayer for lasting peace on Earth.
Have them redo it.
Why?!
Why?
Make it something a little
less controversial.
I have to negotiate with them again?
Art Club - Them
This is making me depressed.
Say, where's the vice president?
She was just here.
Um
What is it?
I've been here the whole time.
Uh, why are you drenched
every time I see you?
I like dumping water on myself.
Are you making good progress on your
meetings with the boys' school?
There hasn't been a single report.
All is going well.
I'll be leaving, then.
Please take care of the poster.
Okay.
You know, you're always impeccable
when you go to Opposite-san,
I have to put my makeup back on quick!
but you really don't need to go that far.
Makeup is mostly banned
at our school, after all.
Are you serious, President?
Are you telling me to show
myself to boys without makeup?
That's the same thing as telling boys
to walk around with their wangs out.
That analogy would mean that your face
without makeup is equal to a pnis.
No, I don't think it's really that obscene.
That's not the point.
The point is that it's bad etiquette.
I've only ever shown them
my face with clothes on.
I can't show them my naked face now.
Understand?
Uh-huh.
Well, whatever.
Anyway, I'm going to take this poster
to the art club to negotiate.
I'll leave the rest to you.
Okay.
What's up, President?
Forget something?
Pardon me, we're here to
make our request once more.
Sure, sure.
Shit, a dude!
What is it?
Where's the president?
I guess I'll just do half my face for now.
The president's not in right now.
As the vice president, I'll
take your inquiries for now.
Vice president?
Huh? She isn't quite like how
Kasumi-san described her.
U-Um
We'd like to show a movie
for the cultural festival.
We're here for permission.
Oh, the Pastimers Club?
I'm sorry, the president watched the edited
video, but she said it's still a no.
In that case, Maeda will grovel
in my place, so please.
Uh, Hanako-sama, that's
I'm begging you!
I've begged a ton of times already!
What difference does it make for
you to tip your cheap head?
Come on, grovel on all fours!
U-Understood.
If that is your wish, Hanako-sama.
What the Seriously?
Miss Vice President, I beg of you!
Hey, Hanako-sama
I apologize, for my buttocks have torn.
O-Okay.
That's pretty bad if your
butt gets torn, right?
Um, er
Okay, why don't you grovel again,
this time to apologize to the
door you made a hole in?
Yes, ma'am.
Wait, not that angle.
Seriously, go away.
What the hell? It's so breezy.
Whatever, I need to stop
thinking and finish my makeup.
Um
I'm with the Pastimers Club.
The Pastimers Club again?!
M-My brother will explain.
This girl's brother?!
Come in.
Huh? Her face changed on a dime.
My mood right now is
overwhelmingly this side.
O-Onii-chan, prove her wrong!
Leave this to me.
I come with a wish to see this here
Olivia's film granted approval.
This movie
may, at first glance, appear to present
itself as a lofty creed of faith,
but this is not the case.
It is but a collection of clichés from
Hollywood's popular entertainment —
an amalgamation of myriad pastiches —
a passage, in Benjamin's terms.
The depictions of brutality
and chaos are, in this sense,
most appropriately described as
a "flirtation with tokenism,"
devoid of any of its original deviance.
Indeed, film was, fundamentally,
a parody of reality —
a mimesis of mimesis, which,
as its primary function,
sought to actively rid itself of meaning.
Therefore, by this argument,
film is best understood as a
descendant of the bread-and-circus
entertainment of ancient Rome,
wherein an evaluation based
on its educational merit
Wow!
Sorry, the VP is stupid.
I totally don't get it.
is antithetical to its fundamental being,
rendering it a caricature
of itself, but alas,
the school council president's
deliberation
I'm pretty sure I cut my bangs too short.
I think you look fine.
Hey.
Whoa, that was the Opposite-san
school council president.
He's so hot!
My beautiful vice president,
forgive me, I'm here unannounced.
Jeez, they flustered me, and now
I messed up the right half.
It's all the Pastimers Club's fault.
Guess I'll fix it up in the washroom.
Hey, I snuck in to see you.
I'm sorry, a good girl's got a lot of faces.
Now, then, what should I do?
It doesn't work when it's
just one of us at a time.
Let's all go together.
Onii-chan did his best, but
Give me a break!
Huh?
Vice President?
Where'd she go?
She was here a minute ago.
What should we do?
Want to come back later?
This desk takes me back.
We hid under that desk when
we came here last time.
Are the three of us from back
then still under the table?
Just kidding.
Let's come back later, then.
What's up, Kasumi-san?
There's a corpse under the desk.
It's true!
Oh my God, that's scary!
They found him already.
We brought him out here, but
I did indeed.
What do we do now?
Th-The cops!
The cops?
We touched him all over.
Are we safe?
Is it a crime to mess up a crime scene?
But it was so sudden
Wait, did you two notice when you came here?
Not at all.
I only saw the vice president.
Where did it come from?
I think I know.
Wasn't there a shounen manga where they
buried a corpse in the school walls?
In the name of my grandpa!
Isn't that it?
I remember that!
It was super scary!
It was, right?
It was super scary!
The earlier chapters were so scary.
That's such a BS theory.
So let's just say this
came out of the walls.
Yeah, that's probably definitely
not it, but whatever.
That's it?
Have these girls shut their brains off?!
So then
The vice president was right
here Where is she?
Staaaare
Do I have to solve it again?
She's around here somewhere, maybe?
I see.
Okay, let's find the vice president, then.
Okay.
Yes.
Please, God, protect me
from these dumbasses!
Oh, that's
the president's face mask!
Thank you, President!
Gyark!
What's wrong, Kasumi-san?
Did you find the vice president?
Mask!
Mask!
M-Mask!
You got me!
Am I, like, MK5 right now?
MK5
(5 seconds before I seriously end up in the slammer)
What language is that?
Why are your eyes different sizes?
She asked that so honestly,
it actually stung the most.
Guys, that must be the murderer.
Let's catch her ourselves.
The vice president probably
isn't alive anymore.
I'll go from the front.
Olivia, you take right.
Kasumi-san, left.
Okay.
Got it.
All right.
Charge!
Why are we all going from the front?!
I got nervous and made a mistake!
I wasn't paying attention to you, Hanako.
You weren't paying attention?!
Get her!
I'm sorry.
Stop panting over there, damn it!
Raw middle-schoolers embracing
What a sight.
Thank my lucky stars.
President, help me!
Yes? What is it?
I could hear you from the hallway.
Hell on Earth.
What are you doing?
Is this a new harassment tactic, Pastimers?
No, we're the victims here.
It took all our courage
to catch this murderer.
She can kind of guess what happened
Pastimers Club, please let go of her.
And I'll allow the movie.
Please keep what happened a secret.
Okay!
Also, never come back.
Roger that!
Yay!
Yay for us!
You just have to keep trying!
What just touched me?
Do I have to deal with this?
U-Um
President
Stay calm.
Where should we bury it?
Is there a lake nearby?
No, he's alive.
Stuff happened.
Oh, I see.
Well, in that case
Are you up?
Huh? I
Jeez, you just randomly collapsed.
I got so worried.
Randomly?
I feel like I just got kneed in the gut.
You hit your gut against the
table when you collapsed.
And that monster?
What are you talking about?
There's no such thing.
No, it had the same hairstyle you did,
but it had the face of a monster.
Such an abomination can't be
allowed to exist in our world.
I told you to make something up!
It took a while before he escaped the loop.
