01x10 - Spica of Virgo

[bunniefuu]

[cicadas chirping]

[Kurashiki] I am the advisor

for the Astronomy Club.

My name is Kurashiki,

it's a pleasure to meet you.

[Isaki's mother] We appreciate

all that you've done for Isaki.

Morning! My name

is Ganta Nakami!

It's fine. I already talked it

over with my parents,

so don't worry.

Sitting on the floor like

this kind of hurts, huh?

Gimme a sec.

I'll grab some cushions.

[door opens, closes]

Huh?

[Ganta gulps]

[gasps]

I'm in the same

class as, uh, Isaki!

My name is Ganta Nakami.

I'm Ocean-Viewsy McFloatFest.

What?

[door opens]

[relaxed music]

Why are you here?

Pretty bold move, Isaki.

Not only do you bring

a guy to the house,

but you also serve him tea?

[Isaki] Let me introduce you.

Haya, my older sister.

Isaki is a clone that was

cultivated from my cells,

by the way.

You can ignore her.

All she does is lie.

So this is the sister she

mentioned on the radio

that one time.

I almost forgot.

I'm gonna tag along

on your training camp.

This should be fun.

Is that another lie?

Not exactly. She's coming

as our chaperone.

I couldn't say no when

Mom and Dad asked me.

Ah! You know that's my shirt!

-Stop taking my stuff.

-I'm borrowing it.

Don't wear my stuff

without asking!

Quit yanking on me.

[Haya groans]

Hey, you're also wearing my bra!

[Ganta gasps, gulps]

Oh, now I get why

the band feels so loose

and the cup is too small.

You don't need to describe it!

[Haya] I'm just

telling it like it is.

[Isaki groans]

Shut up already!

[ice rattling]

[opening theme]

[cicadas chirping]

[Kurashiki groans]

I'm literally melting.

Is your house close?

A bit farther.

[playful music]

Huh?

Make sure you mention that

I'm a well-behaved girl, okay?

Ugh, I quit.

Come on, Nurse Kurashiki!

We're not there yet!

Stop acting like a

child and get back up!

It's too late.

I want a cold beer.

[Isaki] Not happening!

[cicadas chirping]

Here is the proposed

agenda for the training camp.

Okay.

[Ganta's father] Oh, wow.

I didn't know that Ganta was

interested in stargazing.

Since it's just us guys

in this house and all,

I have to admit,

we haven't been

talking much with

each other lately.

So what is your dad like anyway?

Like you, I'm guessing?

Not really.

[Ganta's father]

Ganta's a good son.

He's always making my meals

since I work the night shift

and get home pretty late.

God, to be honest, he's

such a talented kid.

Nothing like his old man.

That said, there is

one time I can remember

where he caused me

some concern.

Oh?

Back in elementary school,

his teacher asked me

to come in for a talk.

I figured that

having only one parent

was finally taking its toll.

I was so worried on my

way there, but then

My apologies. What

seems to be the trouble?

[teacher] Well, sir,

Ganta here won't stop crushing

the heel of his shoes no matter

how many times he's warned.

[Ganta grunts]

[gentle music]

What's going on, champ?

Why won't you listen

to your teacher?

Wait, Ganta!

Huh?

That's when I realized

his shoes were too small.

He had long outgrown

those shoes,

but he just kept using them,

and that's why he

went through gym class,

crushing the heels

of his shoes.

If he had just told me, I

would've bought him a new pair.

I have no idea why

he kept it from me.

I'm sorry for going

so far off-topic.

I leave everything regarding the

training camp in your hands.

Has Ganta always been shy

asking for help?

It must be obvious that it

relates back to his mother.

One night, some years ago,

she just up and left us while

Ganta was asleep in his bed.

For example, you can

set the shutter to release

after 10 seconds

of exposure time,

then leave the camera

for an hour

and combine the resulting

300 pictures.

Wow!

[Yui] This is called

a composite.

Have you finished prepping

for the training camp?

I'm going to Kanazawa after this

to buy our camping gear

and then we'll be all set.

The light pollution in

Kanazawa is too strong

to take any starry night

pictures, but do some exploring,

since there are a lot

of good photo spots.

Are you familiar with Kanazawa?

No, I don't really

know that much about it.

[gentle music]

But back when I

won that contest,

the award ceremony was held at

the prefectural office

in Kanazawa.

The club advisor was

hands-off and never around.

And since there were no

other members but me,

I hated the idea

of going there alone

because it felt so embarrassing.

But in the end, nurse Kurashiki

agreed to come with me,

even though she had nothing

to do with it.

S-so, like

Your photographs

have really improved.

Huh?

It's incredible you've come

so far in so little time,

and that's why, um,

I think next time,

you shouldn't get caught up

in trying to capture

breathtaking scenery.

[Yui sighs]

The moment a truly

outstanding photograph is born

is when something touches

your heart.

Press the shutter

[shutter clicks]

when you feel that spark.

[gentle music]

[Ganta gasps softly]

Press it when I

feel that spark.

[Yui whimpers]

Okay, I'll give it a shot!

Thank you, Yui!

I'll make you proud!

Ah! I should go clean

in front of the store!

sh**t your shot, my protégé.

[bright music]

[WELCOME TO KANAZAWA]

[Ganta]

You know your way around here?

[Isaki] Yep.

I come to Kanazawa pretty often.

I like to go shopping

with friends,

and a bunch of other stuff too.

[Ganta] Well, this place

is full of new sights for me.

[Isaki laughs]

[Isaki] And now you

look like Santa Claus!

[Ganta] Hey, cut it out!

[cicadas chirping]

[bright music continues]

[shutter clicks]

There's so much beauty

to be seen here.

You know, this is actually

one of my favorite roads.

Oh, yeah?

When spring comes,

this whole stretch of land

just explodes

with blooming cherry blossoms!

And the breeze makes

all the petals

dance around like confetti.

I really want you

to see it someday!

[bright music]

[wind blowing]

[Isaki chuckles]

[Ganta gasps]

What's the matter?

[cicadas chirping]

[Ganta sighs]

[DAY 1]

[DAY 1, DAY 2,

DAY 3, DAY 4, DAY 5]

[fridge door closing]

[Isaki] Ganta!

Over here!

Thanks for driving us.

Sure thing.

[lively music]

[Isaki gasps]

[seagulls cawing]

[Haya] Jeez, Isaki, hurry it up!

[Isaki] Just hold on!

[Haya] I'm gonna pee my pants!

[Isaki groans]

Oh, so stuffy.

[lively music continues]

[MOUNTAINS ARE MOUNTAINS

AND RIVERS ARE RIVERS]

Oh?

[Ganta] There's an engawa.

Open these doors for

a view of the ocean.

[door sliding]

[music fades]

[waves lapping]

[Ganta gasps]

[Isaki] There's a

shrine across the way.

Plus a bus stop

right next to it.

And that's all there

is around here.

What a wonderful place.

It's so quiet.

[Haya] Isaki!

There's no toilet paper!

Help me!

[Isaki sighs]

[Ganta chuckles]

[footsteps]

[Isaki sighs]

Cleaning's done.

[Haya] I'm all sweaty now,

so I've got dibs on the bath.

Then can I be the next one

for a bath?

Fine with me. I'll make

lunch in the meantime.

Awesome! You're a lifesaver.

[knife chopping]

[door opens]

Is that chilled noodles?

Um, yeah.

That's perfect.

[dishes clinking]

[Isaki] I'm starving!

Well, the food's ready.

Let's eat toge-

ther.

[Ganta gasps]

[hands clap]

[all] Time to dig in!

So, Ganta, I guess you're

a master of the kitchen?

I wouldn't say that exactly.

Oh, hey.

Since we're going out

to Mitsukejima for

pictures tomorrow,

I wanna get in some

practice after lunch.

You should come too.

[Haya] Excuse me?

You do know there are two

people

sitting at this table.

[Ganta grunts]

I meant

just

Just her.

[Haya laughing]

Omigod! Quit it!

[gentle music]

[EPISODE 10: SPICA OF VIRGO]

[THE ELDER SISTER STAR]

[cicadas chirping]

Huh?

Found 'em.

Ah, now these take me back.

[young Haya] Mom!

I wanna go on a real trip.

[Isaki's mother]

We are on a real trip.

To visit your grandma.

But we always have to go there!

Grandma's house is so boring.

I wanna ride rollercoasters.

[mother] We've been over this.

You know that we

can't travel very far

because Isaki has

a special condition.

[Haya] Then just let

her stay home!

[mother] That wouldn't be

fair to her, would it?

Now act like a good big

sister and get over it.

[Haya groans]

[bell ringing]

[cicadas chirping]

Hey, Isaki?

Huh?

[Isaki breathing lightly]

[lively music]

[cicadas chirping]

[water trickling]

Hi, crab.

[shutter clicks]

[woman] Good day.

Good day.

[SHRINE BUS STOP]

[camera snaps]

Better be careful that

we don't miss the bus.

[lively music]

[cicadas chirping]

[heavy breathing]

[birds chirping]

[Ganta gasps]

[bag thudding]

[tripod rattling]

It's a full moon tonight,

so the stars won't show

up very well.

It's time to practice.

Isaki, are you awake?

I'm at the top of the

shrine staircase now.

I'm going to try taking a

picture once the sun goes down.

[READ]

[Isaki] Hey, Sis.

I'm going out for a

little bit, okay?

[Haya laughing]

You can't go out like that!

[laughs]

[footsteps]

Huh?

Isaki?

No, not quite.

It's the older sister.

[light chuckle]

Isaki had to clean up her face

before coming out.

Huh?

[Ganta sighs]

You looking at this?

Just Isaki getting me back.

[sighs] Do you have any

siblings, Ganta?

No, I don't.

You two seem to get

along pretty well.

Seriously? Is that

your impression of us?

I would've preferred being

an only child.

[slow music]

You might already know this,

but Isaki was in poor

health from a young age,

so our parents were

constantly watching over her.

[Ganta] Yeah.

Isaki told me that she used

to have heart problems.

[Haya gasps]

[sighs] Anyways, ever

since Isaki was born,

our family always operated

with her at the center.

"Don't you feel sorry

for your sister?"

"You're her older sister,

so just grin and bear it."

They totally neglected

coming to my school events.

So I'm using this opportunity

to bully her a little

while the adults aren't

watching us.

[slow music continues]

Tell me something,

are you honestly having

fun taking pics

in this podunk town

out in the boonies?

[Ganta] That's a fair question.

I would say coming out here

has been pretty exhilarating.

Like for example,

I've been having fun

searching for places around here

where I can capture the sky,

the ocean, and the town in one.

[Haya chuckles]

Oh? Well, that's

definitely not my thing.

One more question.

Is it true that Isaki

is trying to hook up with you?

[gasps] Hook up?!

I mean, she told me

I was special to her,

but that doesn't equate to love.

Besides, those were

words that she used

to cheer me up when I was

in a really bad headspace.

So it wouldn't be fair of

me to think it means more.

Man, a reply like that

would def turn me

if you weren't with my sister.

[wind blowing]

[leaves rustling]

But listen to me.

Don't get involved with her.

She already knows

better than anyone

just how different she

is from everyone else.

And there are plenty of

other girls out there

you don't have to feel

sorry for, right?

[Ganta sighs]

When it comes to Isaki,

I probably don't know half

of what she's been through,

but I've never felt sorry

for her.

Not even once.

[uplifting music]

Personally, I think she's cool.

Isaki is someone who

shines brightly in my eyes.

[Haya sighs heavily]

Boo!

[Haya] Dummy. I already

pulled that trick earlier.

What?!

Crap. I thought that would

freak you guys out for sure.

Hmph!

FYI, I was totally lying

earlier when I said Isaki

was trying to hook up with you.

I wanted to see how you felt.

Huh?

[shutter clicks]

Can I look?

Mm-hmm.

Is it even possible to

make this place look good?

Would you like to see?

Mm.

[gentle music]

[Haya gasps]

[music swells]

Right?

It's really incredible.

[Isaki] Ah!

What is it? What's wrong?

[Isaki] I had a nagging feeling

we forgot to buy something.

Watermelon! We forgot

to buy some watermelon!

[Ganta] You think so?

[Isaki] Absolutely!

[clothes rustling]

[Isaki groaning]

[zipper zipping]

[Isaki] Are you going somewhere?

Duh. My boyfriend said

he is willing to come

as far as Wakura to see me,

so I'm leaving now

to go meet him.

Huh?!

[Haya] Listen.

Not a word of this to Mom

or I'll k*ll you, got it?

[Isaki grunts]

You're so self-centered!

Oh, you wanna go?

Bring it, shrimp!

[Isaki] Like you're any taller!

[Haya] Microshrimp!

Arm rest!

[Ganta groaning]

Really? They're fighting?

Is this all of your luggage?

Yep. You're a huge help.

Thanks a lot.

All right!

It's time for me to

blow this popsicle stand.

I'll go get Isaki.

Nah, don't bother.

She's too grumpy

to come say goodbye.

[Ganta sighs]

[Ganta] Was I the problem?

You know, because of what I

said to you at the shrine.

And now

[gentle music]

Listen, that girl never opens up

to anybody about

her heart problems.

[Ganta gasps]

And it's always been like

that since she was little.

Because she went through

repeated surgeries

and lengthy hospital stays,

she stood out

as being extra short

and fragile-looking when

lined up with her classmates,

the school always gave

her special treatment.

Putting up with

all the positivity

and watching her get

pampered really annoyed me.

[spectator] Come on!

[Haya] Stupid shrimp.

[spectator] All right.

[referee] On your marks!

[spectator] Here we go.

[referee] Get set!

[starting g*n pops]

[crowd cheering]

[mother] Go, Isaki!

Go! You can do it!

[spectator]

Yeah, that's it, that's it!

[Isaki panting]

You got it!

Just a little more!

[hands smacking]

[Isaki panting]

They all come in first place.

Yay, you did it!

[all applauding]

[Haya] This is so dumb.

[spectator] That's so sweet.

[gentle music]

[Isaki crying]

What's your problem?

What are you crying for?

This This sucks. [cries]

[Haya] Isaki was so ashamed

and upset afterwards

that it would make her cry.

She wasn't being pampered

by it at all.

That's when I realized

that at the very least,

that I could be the one person

who didn't treat her

like a pity case.

Hey, Ganta,

put your hand up.

Huh?

[hands smacking]

The ball's in your court.

Later. I'm going on a real trip.

Please, wait a minute!

[car door closes]

Wait! So, um, wait.

What responsibility is that?

What should I do from now on?

Well, that's an easy one, dude.

Go and ask her yourself.

Huh?

Why are you still here?

[engine revving]

[Haya] Bye, losers!

Okay, and she's gone.

Finally, peace and quiet.

Alrighty then. Guess we should

make some breakfast, right?

Yeah. Oh.

What's wrong?

We forgot the bus!

[Isaki yelling]

[Ganta] We won't make it to meet

Mitsukejima if we miss it!

[Isaki] That would waste

a whole day!

[Ganta] Hurry and get changed!

Grab your stuff!

[Isaki] Have you

seen my sandals?

[Ganta] Sandals?

[waves lapping]

[ending theme]
