Once upon a time,
when Musashino was still a village,
a memento of an old woman
was lost by a farmer.
He neglected it every day.
It was an old comb.
But it was a precious memento
of an old woman.
The poor farmer went
to the chicken coop,
and got an egg to offer the Inari
in exchange for the comb.
He prayed everyday.
And then, on a certain night...
The fox had somehow delivered the comb.
And after that, all the villagers
that had lost something,
brought eggs as offerings to
the Inari and started praying.
But, in reality...
Take them, take them...
Take the Forgotten.
Take them, take them,
take them because they're forgotten.
Take them, take the forgotten things.
That's right.
The foxes secretly take
people's forgotten things.
Take the forgotten things!
Mr. Fox is a thief.
He's not a thief.
It's because humans don't value
the things anymore.
So you have to show
how treasured the thing is.
That won't happen.
Haruka treasures things.
That's wonderful Haru-chan.
Hey, you don't believe me!
That's not true.
You mean it?
Just you wait mom,
I'll prove it to you right now.
Haruka, be careful.
Found it!
Ta-da! Look.
I'll always keep this
hand mirror you gave to me.
Really now?
When can you come back home mom?
Well...
I know, why don't you try asking Mr. Fox?
Okay.
Inari-sama,
please bring back...
My mom.
Not for sale, rent or auction.
OBLIVION ISLAND
That's really disgusting.
What a pain.
Thanks for letting me come over.
What a pain.
No problem. There's no one
here anyway, so just come in.
Although-this place needs some cleaning up.
Dad...
I envy your house, Miho.
Every place is the same.
I'm thirsty. Do you want something
to drink, Miho?
Yes, thank you.
Haru-chan, have to work today.
-Dad
More like "today too".
Again?
Yes?
Hello, Haru-chan?
You drank it.
I said you drank the ginger ale.
I might have drank it.
"Might have"?
Keep your hands off of it.
I bought it. I've paid for it.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I don't believe you.
Haru-chan, since it looks like I'll be
able to go home early today after all.
How about making dinner?
I don't know how!
I'm not a housewife!
Miho.
Even though I treasured it awhile back,
before I knew it,
it still got lost, didn't it?
Why suddenly bring it up?
Ta-da!
Look. I'll always keep this
hand mirror I got from you.
Long ago, I had an old hand mirror
that I got from my mother.
I used to treasure it, although...
Now it's gone somewhere.
I know how you feel.
I don't know where my old
Christmas doll set I got went either.
Before you know it, it's gone.
Say, I wonder where it all goes...
Even if it was treasured,
it has to end up somewhere.
Seems memories are the same.
Okay!
I'm going to my grandmother's house.
But your dad is coming home soon.
I need a change of pace.
You're leaving home again?
There it is.
Inari-sama, since you can't
bring back my mother,
please return the hand mirror
I got from her.
OK, here it goes!
It flew! Cool! Cool!
It's flying!
Look how high it's going. Amazing.
You can't match the power of rubber bands!
What's it doing?
Where is it?
Dad.
What?
Haru-chan?
It looks like I'll have to work
more than 10 hours after all today,
if you're hungry from earlier...
I'm sorry, but I'm not home right now.
I'm not home today. Goodbye.
Where are you?
I don't want to go home.
Alright.
The wind?
It doesn't look like it.
What is that?
Where did it go?
The water is warm.
A p... person? You touched me!
You, you talked.
This is bad, this is bad, this is bad.
This is bad, bad, very bad!
What are you doing?
Hey, wait a minute!
What is this?
I got the Forgotten and came back.
Well hurry up and transport them.
Yes sir.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
I got about 4 bottles, 3 cans,
and 5 boards today.
You have to go back to the person place!
Hold on a minute, hold on!
There's one thing I want to ask about.
You guys, this place...
You stole something from my house.
We didn't steal it!
Then... then what is all that?
That's all forgotten things.
Forgotten?
Take them, take them,
take the forgotten things.
If this has all been forgotten, then...
That mirror too...
Hey, what are you doing?
Wait!
Keep quiet and go home!
Let go of me!
Keep quiet and go home!
Hey, do you know?
A hand mirror about this size.
Hand-mi-rror.
Understand? It's mine.
No idea.
Will you help me search for it?
I don't know...
Give that back!
This is mine.
But if we find the hand mirror,
I'll give this to you.
Do you know what will happen
if there are humans here?
I don't know what kind of
punishment there will be.
It must be frightening.
Very frightening.
They'll take my stamp cards too.
Even though with 3 more stamps
I'll have collected 14.
I meant, what will happen to me?
I don't know.
Hey, where does this thing go exactly?
It's going to the island.
Island?
It moved!
We can't make human like things.
Therefore we use people's
forgotten things we've collected.
Thankfully people immediately
forget about anything.
No wonder things end up getting lost.
But we don't steal it.
We just take the Forgotten.
If we stole people's things,
they would come here and att*ck us.
You're the same.
People are scary.
Hey.
That reminds me,
we haven't introduced ourselves yet.
Intro...duced?
Yes. I'm Haruka, 16, freshman.
Nice to meet you.
Teo...
Nice-to-meet-you.
Hey, let go!
Amazing!
Everyone made this from the Forgotten?
Hey.
In this area, that's strange.
Well?
Does it suit me?
Let's hurry up and go.
Okay.
Excuse me, I'm looking for
a hand mirror about this size.
Know anything about it?
It's not here.
A mirror?
That's right.
What kind?
What kind? Well...
I'm borrowing this.
OK.
I'm sure it had this impression here.
How about it? Have you seen it before?
Nope.
You should go to Mabarowa's store and try
asking about that sort of expensive thing.
Ma... Maba... Mabaroba?
You don't know who Mabarowa is?
I do know who he is, right, Teo?
Teo.
What are you doing here?
Are you ditching again?
What a never-do-well.
You always just bring unnecessary things.
Shame on you.
What? Why you!
Oh, my, Teo's angry.
Hey.
Don't touch me!
Let go!
Hey, stop that!
Who are you? You're not impressing anyone.
What do you think you're doing?
What's with you and the brat?
Don't tell me... you're...
What?
His girlfriend?
Yeah?
Teo has a girlfriend?
You're wrong!
Hey, why don't you remove that
mask and let us see your face?
No, you guys can't look at me.
Teo, let's go.
Okay.
Hey, hold on.
No, and don't touch me.
Hey, don't drag me!
Let's hurry up and leave.
Okay.
What's with this?
There's something suspicious about that one.
By suspicious, do you mean Teo, bro?
One of them certainly is.
Hey.
Are they the only friends you have?
They aren't my friends.
So where are they?
Leave me alone.
Okay.
What?
Who's that?
That's Baron.
He likes showing off his castle.
He has bad taste.
Yeah...
Welcome.
Can I help you, youngsters?
Can I help you?
I'm very busy so hurry up
and tell me what you need.
Well...
I'm searching for a mirror.
For a mirror?
You youngsters can't afford to buy one.
They cost 1,000 stamp cards.
Just go home. Go home.
No, this mirror is mine.
This is what it looks like.
This is...
This is Baron's mirror.
I've seen it once before.
It's a very magnificent mirror.
It was a mirror that
held the power of the Gods!
No, this is just an ordinary mirror.
God resides in the mirror.
That mirror is very lovely.
It has tremendous magical powers.
It was kept by Baron...
for safekeeping.
But someone stole it!
Where is it now?
Unfortunately...
I don't know where it is.
This isn't that other expensive mirror.
I want to get it back.
It's hopeless after all. Let's go home.
Thank you for your time.
Hold on a moment.
What an unusual mask.
Will you give it to me?
It's very distinct from
what a mirror resembles.
No, it's just a little distinct.
So you say.
Hold on!
You can't! This was my present to her.
Come on, let's get home soon.
Thanks again for your time.
This is Mabarowa.
We've got a problem, Baron.
A person is looking for the mirror,
you must come down.
Just give up and go home.
I'm so hungry.
What are these?
They're freshly harvested.
No more!
She removed the mask!
I see her, I see her,
I see her, I see her!
Is it a person?
It's a person.
Really?
I knew it.
This is going to get interesting, isn't it?
What're we gonna do bro?
You're going to pay for this you brat!
I don't believe this.
Them again?
What do you want?
I have some business with her.
Take off that mask.
Why?
Off.
No.
Off!
No!
Bikki, take it off!
Dekago, take it off!
Okay.
After her! Get Teo, too!
You wont get away!
That way you idiot!
Well wait for them here at this factory.
You ticked me off, Teo!
Hey.
An amusement park?
Hey...
Hey, hold on.
What is this place?
It's where we see forgotten memories.
Oblivion Theater.
Cotton...
Cotton, don't you remember me?
It's me, Haruka.
What is she doing?
Who's that?
My play is ruined.
Wait, that child is a person.
Person?
How did one get in here?
It must be the plush's owner.
A tearful meeting. A deeply moving drama.
Enliven the music!
Haruka.
I'm your owner, Haruka.
Don't you remember?
Haruka...
My play...
I can't watch.
That's right. Haruka.
I remember you, Haruka.
You abandoned me.
You abandoned me, Haruka.
Cotton?
I hate you, Haruka.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's true I've forgotten you up until now.
I'm sorry.
I can't trust you.
We've got you now, Teo!
You're going to get punished!
You won't get away this time!
Don't get any closer!
Hey, don't run away!
What's it doing?
Haru, run!
My play...
What an incredible ending!
This way.
Sorry.
Teo! Get ready!
You're going to get the worst punishment!
This way!
We've got them on the run!
It's no use.
Jump!
Are you okay, Cotton?
That hurt-
Sorry. Sorry Cotton.
I'm so sorry.
You won't be forgotten anymore.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
The truth is,
I missed you too.
Haruka.
Cotton.
You live in a place like this?
It's not that bad.
All done.
Thank you.
Why are all these planes here?
It's because I want to build
a real plane someday.
I want to fly in the sky too
like people and birds.
Not one of us has flown
the sky yet.
Just Baron's airship.
You need an engine
attached to the propeller.
Otherwise you can't fly.
Engine?
You don't know what it is?
Look at this.
The rubber band lies everything together.
It uses the rubber band to fly.
Rubber band. The rubber band is the engine!
In a way, yeah...
But, how is Cotton moving?
Magic?
Someone must have put
a mirror fragment in him.
Mirror?
Mirrors contain the power of God.
So if you use it, you can even
exhale breath of life into dolls.
Hey, hey!
Mirror...
Hey Cotton, do you remember
everything up to now?
I do remember.
Then maybe you remember the hand
mirror I got from my mother too?
I do.
The hand mirror and I
were obtained together.
By Baron.
It's on board of the airship?
One night we were stolen
from Baron's castle
by a burglar and later set free.
And the hand mirror too?
Yes.
We were led beneath the ground.
To the thieves' secret palace.
Desperately, I managed to escape.
The Petit Loss Clan.
Petit Loss?
They're thieves that live
at the underground palace.
Look, that's the entrance
to the underground palace.
That's where the Petit Loss Clan is.
They're terrifying and
no one approaches them.
So my mother's hand mirror is in there.
No way! We're not going to take it back!
Please.
No!
Please.
It's incredibly scary.
That's...
That's not a chair.
This goes... like this.
And this too.
There's one in my grandmother's house too.
It's called a "record player".
Cool!
Where are you going?
Just getting some water.
Keep quiet!
What's going on?
What's going on?
Hey!
My, my...
Things have gotten rough.
Baron!
Be quiet!
I know you led the human here.
If that secret were to be revealed,
you'd receive a severe
punishment from everybody.
And all your hard collected stamp cards,
will be confiscated.
But...
I think I definitely want your help.
That human,
you know she's looking for
the mirror, right?
If that mirror is found by the human,
I want you to secretly bring it back to me.
It was mine to begin with.
It's very, very important to me.
And if you turn her in for the crime,
I'll hush everything up.
And to thank you,
I'll give you 10,000 stamp cards.
Please release Teo.
Don't go so fast!
In there?
That's where mom's mirror is.
I know, now slow down!
I know you're afraid.
Can't we head back?
If we go back now,
then what was the point
of going through everything?
Did I have to come?
Let's just keep going forward.
All mirrors are the same!
Teo.
It's the Petit Loss Clan!
Haru, open your eyes!
Open your eyes and drive!
I can't look down!
Then look forward instead! Look forward!
Forward! Forward!
What is that?
Here it comes!
HARU!
So sweet!
What is this? Syrup?
Don't come any closer.
Don't come any closer...
Back off!
Let go!
Let me go!
Cotton!
Hold on!
Here it is.
The hand mirror.
Wait!
Mom.
Thanks for everything.
I got this far because
I had you to accompany me.
I really owe you one.
Thank you.
Although if I could have used strong magic,
I could have defeated the thing easy.
But you got the airplane
to move back at the temple.
I saw you. Wasn't that magic too?
No it wasn't. My power is way too low.
That's why I'm always
rounding up the Forgotten.
I'm Forgotten.
I'm also being forgotten.
There aren't any people
who worry about me.
None at all.
Teo?
What's with this bucket?
I've seen it before.
I've seen it before too.
What could it be though?
It fell from up there.
It's for that!
The things you ate?
The freshly harvested.
Bait...they use this to lure them out.
Teo!
Get on!
Hurry!
Hold on tightly.
We're safe now.
Teo
Thank you, thank you.
I am truly grateful.
Stop!
Hey, what are you doing?
Teo, what's going on?
Teo-kun used you human.
He went so he could
take back my hand mirror.
Now then, as I promised,
give Teo his reward.
Teo?
Teo, look at me!
Take them all.
Let Haruka go!
What's with you?
Cotton!
Cotton. Cotton!
Stop shouting!
What do you plan on doing to Haru?
You should send her back home
to the human world.
Back home? I'm not going to do that.
You see, I've always wanted a human servant.
Let me go!
What else would I do with her?
This isn't part of the deal.
It's best you don't worry about it.
A person...
Mustn't become a friend.
I'm glad I didn't.
Give back the treasured hand mirror
my mother gave me!
Give it back!
And yet it's been forgotten all this time.
From now on under my care,
it will receive the best treatment.
The mirror will be pleased too.
It's definitely not forgotten anymore!
Give it back! It's my mirror!
With this, you can amass
the power of 10,000 mirrors.
With that magnitude of power,
you can move 1,000 robots.
The robots will steal and bring back all
the new products from the human world.
Well do away with that foolish "Forgotten".
I'll destroy this island,
and use a machine to make a wonderful one.
I will make if more beautiful
than a human could.
It will be a high grade existence.
Let's have a little chat.
We're going to have you swallow
a "Forgetfulness Drop".
You'll forget everything up to now
and you'll become a house servant.
If I use you,
you can steal and bring back any human item.
Those bad memories of yours can
also be all erased without trouble.
No! Stop!
No! Let me go!
Let me go!
It's ready!
Hey!
Out of the way!
There's Teo!
Everyone, Teo's the one who
led the person here. Get him!
Everyone, please listen!
The Baron is planning something terrible!
After this I'm...
Going to go rescue the person
Baron captured.
I knew he was associating with that person.
Helping a person is unthinkable!
People can be very nice.
They're not scary and evil
like everyone thinks they are.
A person showed me how to build an airplane.
What are you talking about?
Let's drag him down here!
With an airplane, I can go save Haru!
The Baron is planning something-
terrible!
Use it to build the airplane!
Put in the tube.
OK, first lets make this thing bigger!
We're ready.
Okay.
Bigger!
Hey, Teo, isn't it too heavy?
Will this thing actually fly?
It will fly!
I'm counting...
on you.
Move!
Darn, she's stubborn.
Release another drop!
Come on, swallow, swallow!
Teo is getting close to the cliff!
Fly! Fly for me!
No!
Give me that!
It's up to me!
Fly!
He's flying!
What is it?
What's going on?
Baron has your mirror!
Go!
Haruka...
Haya!
Petit Loss.
What did they come here for?
They must have found out
the mirror was here.
This has become a real mess.
It's just a toy.
Rubber band!
Baron!
A large army with amazing numbers
has come to att*ck us.
And the person was able to escape.
You idiots!
You're all incompetent!
Very well then.
Shell make a good experiment.
Watch.
Haruka!
There's nowhere left to run.
This is the end of the line.
So like a human.
So sly.
But that's as far as you go.
Fire the net g*n!
OK!
Sorry.
That was a close one.
Now stop fussing.
Let Haruka go!
Cotton?
What are you doing?
Get back to your stations!
This can be so embarrassing.
Darn it! You blasted Forgotten!
Don't touch him! Let Cotton go!
Cotton!
Haruka...
Cotton! Cotton!
Cotton!
She fell. Catch her.
I'm glad I got a chance...to talk to you.
Cotton...
I am too.
I'm glad too!
I'm happy for that.
Cotton...
An airplane?
Teo?
Haru... I'm sorry.
About what I did before.
That beast! Take it down!
They've spotted us!
Did we get them?
Fire the cannon!
Pedal the rubber band the other way!
Why?
Just pedal in reverse!
Let go of the pedals!
Back up!
Haru!
Are you alright Haru?
Wake up Haru!
Are you injured, Haru?
Teo.
Thank goodness.
We're both safe.
We still can't relax though.
Baron's guards are probably
going to come get us soon.
We have to escape quickly.
Up there.
What about it?
Mirrors.
That's where my mother's hand mirror is.
Teo.
Please come with me.
Let's go.
We'll take back your mirror.
Teo...
Okay.
Heave ho!
Cool!
There it is.
Don't touch it!
Don't you dare touch my mirror!
Haru, hurry, grab the mirror!
Yeah.
That's far enough.
Now Haru!
Let go you brat!
I won't allow it!
Haru!
Teo.
You won't get away!
Don't scare me like that, Haru-chan.
Mom...
Let's do origami.
We'll do it after dinner.
This is inside the mirror.
I knew she'd take after me.
I hope she doesn't take after
you when it comes to messiness.
Just my strong points then.
Now, right, left, right...
That's it. That's it.
Just like that.
She's getting a bit chubby.
That's because you overfeed her.
No, I give her how much she asks for.
You spoil her.
Haruka wants to see fireworks!
How about we all go then?
Haru-chan, fireworks are really big.
And they make a big boom-boom sound.
Boom.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Will I be like you when I grow up?
Of course.
What about being like your father, Haruka?
Mom would be better.
Dad is sad.
Today, Haru fell down while
playing in the park
without shedding tears.
People forget the most amazing things.
She's a tough kid.
Don't go Dad.
So that's a memory.
Haru-chan.
No!
Here's your birthday present.
Open it up.
Okay.
It's so cute! Thank you.
His name is Cotton.
How old are you Cotton?
I see.
I'm his big sister then.
Be a kind one.
I promise to be a good big sister!
When can you come back home mom?
Well...
I know, why don't you
try asking Mr. Fox?
We can't just keep crying.
I can't just keep crying.
You're already up, Haru-chan.
What are you doing dad?
Here's your lunch for the day.
Hamburger meat.
It looks tasty!
He followed us!
I found you!
Haru, find an exit!
An exit?
There should be one here
in this projecting place.
Should be where though?
I don't know where!
Where will you go?
Haru-chan.
There it is!
Teo, it's behind Baron.
That must be it!
Let's jump into it!
Yes.
Mom!
I won't forgive you for this!
Teo!
Teo!
All of my mirrors!
Baron.
Get out of Haru's mirror!
Teo!
Bro...
Bro...
That Teo...
Actually did it.
Baron!
Baron!
Baron!
Where are you?
So cold...
Ba...ron?
Who is that?
Don't look at me!
Please wait up!
Wait!
Teo. Teo.
Teo!
Teo!
Teo, wake up.
Haru...
It didn't break.
What?
Look at yourself.
We found it!
We did it!
Thank you.
Teo.
You're not Forgotten.
Neither are you.
Yeah, we can meet again.
If you don't forget about this.
I won't forget about this.
It'll definitely be a very,
very important memory.
Goodbye.
No time has passed at all.
Hello, it's Haruka.
Haru-chan.
Sorry about earlier.
I'm sorry.
I was angry.
I see.
It's strange you'd so suddenly apologize.
Really?
Anyway...
Hey, can we go out
and eat tonight?
It has been a long time since
the two of us went out to eat.
You want to go out for meals?
Yep.
What do you want to eat, Haru-chan?
I can choose?
You can.
Then I want...
to eat a hamburger!
I'm starving!
I attempt to whisper "give up".
But it would be better
if I couldn't give in.
I know the reason, I see it, I get it.
Clutching to this bit of
the wisdom obtained.
But it's been see through...
Why do your lips begin to frown?
Overwhelming feelings
I just cannot comprehend.
I feel my palm push
firmly against my back.
Rolling down onto the lawn.
Moving so fast I don't
want it to stop, I'm sorry.
It's not an ideal world,
but it'll be okay.
Ahead is a muddy stream,
I cannot pass.
Sitting there thinking,
falling into darkness.
Love is slipping away.
But you shine like
the sun and I open up.
Unsightly tears start to fall.
And yet, it becomes
a glittered scenario.
Go swimming
using an imaginary fillet...
The pain from old wounds,
isn't a dream.
Facing so many struggles,
I long to get to the beach tomorrow
This fruit with color changed
has a bitter taste
You as my sun,
I cannot lose my way.
With you,
I will not get lost.
Overwhelming feelings
I just cannot comprehend.
I feel my palm push
firmly against my back.
Rolling down onto the lawn.
Moving so fast I don't
want it to stop, I'm sorry.
It's not an ideal world,
but it'll be okay.
