Saki

Let's see... Movies, movies...
Oh, this one looks pretty good!

2

Saki

Alright, I'm adding it to my backlog!

Ichika

Huh? Saki, are you by yourself?

4

Saki

Hi, Ichi!
Shiho said to start without her because she needs to ask one of the teachers a question.

5

Ichika

Okay. Honami also said she's going to be running late, so why don't we get started?

6

Saki

Yeah! I'm starved.

7

Ichika

Hehe. But I'm sorry for making you wait...

8

Saki

No, that's okay. I was just looking up... Wait a second!

9

Saki

Ichi, that reminds me.
Are there any movies you've been meaning to watch lately?

10

Ichika

Movies?

11

Saki

Yeah! Remember how we got to ask Kanade about songwriting?

12

Ichika

Oh, when we went to that cafe?

13

Saki

Yeah!
I asked her where the inspiration for her songs comes from...

14

Saki

Remember how movies, manga and works of art are the sources of some of her ideas?

15

Ichika

Yeah. She makes a habit of taking in all kinds of works to enhance her music.

16

Ichika

Oh, is that why you asked me about movies...?

17

Saki

Hehe. Correct!
I read manga on a regular basis already, so that just leaves movies and art.

18

Saki

I'm not ready right this second to visit an art museum, so I thought I could start with some movies first.

19

Ichika

That makes sense. And you stand to learn a lot.

20

Saki

Hehe♪ I was thinking about going to see something after school since we don't have practice today.

21

Ichika

In that case, can I go with you?

22

Saki

Huh?

23

Ichika

I thought I should take this opportunity to also start exposing myself to more things.

24

Saki

Ichi...!
Yeah, let's go together♪

25

Saki

Then, while we're at it, we should also invite Shiho and Hona!

26

Ichika

Right.
I'm looking forward to discussing what we saw afterwards.

27

Saki

Hehe. Now I'm even more excited!
Which movie should we see?

28

Saki

There's “The Shape of the World”, but also “Attack of the Mecha-Zombies!”...

29

Ichika

I haven't heard of either.
What are they about?

30

Saki

So, “The Shape of the World” is a documentary that discusses some of society's problems.

31

Ichika

It's a documentary?

32

Saki

Yup! The other one is a horror film about mechanized zombies.

33

Saki

But it apparently isn't scary at all. It's become a cult hit because of how the story's a mystery wrapped in an enigma that's full of twists and turns!

34

Ichika

R-Really...?

35

Ichika

I have to say, I'm surprised by your choices, Saki.
These aren't the kind of movies you'd normally go to see.

36

Saki

Haha. I'd usually pick a glamorous coming-of-age film or something...

37

Saki

But I thought I should start trying a bunch of different genres, since my goal here is to experience new things!

38

Ichika

Different genres?

39

Saki

Yeah!
Genres that I'm not really into or would avoid normally.

40

Saki

I figure I might find some unexpected new favorites that way!

41

Ichika

I see...
I do agree with that.

42

Saki

Hehe. See what I mean?

43

Ichika

Oh, but...

44

Saki

What's up?

45

Ichika

I understand your desire to step outside your comfort zone and try new genres...

46

Ichika

But are you sure we'll be able to get all the way through those movies?

47

Saki

Huh?

48

Ichika

If the subject matter is too complicated or not all that appealing, then we might have trouble following what happens.

49

Saki

I mean, when you put it that way...

50

Saki

Y-Yeah, you're right.
We should go with something more familiar first!

51

Ichika

My thoughts exactly. Let's look together...
