Episode Title:
Just One More.
Episode Description:
During the morning assembly, Honda announces that Seiichi will be finished with the storyboards tomorrow, which, while being good news to the team, would still leave the studio with only five weeks to deliver the final episode, compared to the average two months spent on each of the previous episodes. Later on, Aoi receives an email containing some research about diesel trains from Midori, who had been hoping to help her with her workload. During a phone call between the two, Midori informs Aoi about Misa's situation at work. While delivering a dombra over to the sound department at Sawara Studio for Marukawa, Aoi is forced to help sound effects engineer Toshiyasu Kawano in creating some sound effects for another anime, a process that earns her intrigue. Later, she gets together with the other girls for dinner at her apartment. When Misa contemplates quitting her job, Aoi gives her some advice based on what she learned from Kawano, asking her to figure out where she wants to go before worrying about how to get there. The next morning, Misa hands in her letter of resignation to Tateishi, wanting to pursue the kind of story-based animation that got her into CG production. Meanwhile, Seiichi manages to finish the storyboards for the final episode, much to Honda's delight. While delivering copies of the storyboards to Yūichirō, Aoi asks him if there are any other CG companies Misa could work for. Meanwhile, Honda announces his intention to quit to become a pâtissier, and Segawa congratulates Ema for her work on her cuts, much to the latter's relief. Work soon begins on the final episode, although Aoi grows concerned when Seiichi goes a little overboard drinking during a party following the after-recording.
