"This program is brought to you by EMI Music Japan." "Deaths from brain starvation?" "Yeah." "It's named so because the biological brain atrophies as if the person is dying from malnutrition." "It is prevalent amount members of certain cyber-communities." "one of the appetite-suppressing endorphins." "It is believed that this leads to eating disorder and brain damage for those Metal abusers." "it has claimed a few victims at a cyberbrain diving club." "allowing our divers to dive in up to their moment of deaths we have yet to establish any illegal nor indecent activities and our investigation is coming to a standstill." "we are reopening an investigation on the cyberdiving bed manufacturers." "Understood." "I will dive in." "Eat - irritable belly" "For God sake!" "Why green peppers?" "Day after day after day!" "You well know that I hate green peppers." "Peppers are in season right now." "Summer green peppers are good for melatonin metabolism." "I think it's good for you." "Isn't it always summer on this island!" "?" "Enough of it!" "I'm going to wipe out green peppers from this world right now." "What was she saying?" "What?" "Why this... today?" "we are low on vegetables all over the island." "Luckily I managed to get some green peppers." "How terrible!" "It's all the fault of green peppers." "I wouldn't have to suffer so much like this!" "Can I have another one?" "Nyamo let us have her green peppers from her lunch box." "How could you complain about having that delicious home cooking everyday?" "Aren't you lucky." "What do you mean?" "It's always green peppers." "that shape and that gloss." "It's disgusting." "it has a huge pocket of air inside." "It's empty inside." "So outside is nothing but skin." "We chuck away fruit skin anyway and why should we eat green peppers?" "Can't we just throw the whole thing away?" "Thinking about it makes my skin itch." "I want to eat something other than green peppers for once. something like that" "just for a change!" "I'm sorry." "I got it." "Just wait for me." "It's just as in the report." "There is nothing out of the ordinary in these pretty bubbles." "you are about to exceed the "No Decompression Limit." "Please return as soon as you have completed the investigation in this area." "Understood." "the vegetables on the Artificial Island are grown artificially." "So the yield is low." "Lots of families just live on nutrition supplement." "its so nice to have delicious real vegetables once in a while." "Cause synthetic vegetables taste nothing like it." "You can't really beat the real thing." "I think your brother is working hard for your sake." "He probably spends all his Denriken wages on food for Nyamo." "I tell you!" "That's just Souta's way of harassing me." "He knows that I hate green peppers. day after day after day... it's probably a bit too much to have it everyday." "Nyamo?" "Eh?" "Hmm." "Apple pie my grandma used to make." "It's really delicious." "it melts straight away in mouth." "Yukino?" "It's the Ice Cream Parfait here." "There is no artificial sweetener." "at least they are the real thing." "it's the coffee." "It's because the coffee here is brewed and filtered from real beans." "It's priceless." "I haven't thought about that there are synthetic and natural produce in the food we eat." "What about Mrs Mari Haru?" "He said that he liked glossy rice." "What does he mean by glossy?" "Is that the name of the rice?" "What are you saying?" "It's the gloss on every grain of freshly cooked rice." "rice takes up a lot of water during milling." "You have to use plenty of mineral water." "you are an expert." "Yeah." "Souta told me..." "Enough of that stupid Souta." "Is he not going to bring out something soon?" "I can faintly smell something delicious in the air." "Looks promising." "I don't care as long as there is something to eat. you can get inside the Metal and eat your fill." "Can you do that in Metal?" "With a bit of modification to your brain's satiety center." "Haven't you heard of people making themselves able to keep eating delicious food inside the Metal this way?" "I haven't." "What's wrong?" "Minamo?" "Smells like something burnt." "sorry." "I think business is closed for today." "I can't believe it!" "That's how I am still so hungry that I can't move at all." "What a disaster." "I don't have anything here." "You should have eaten something on the way." "I rushed out of my house and forgot my purse." "I see." "I am so hungry." "I am so hungry that my head and my tummy are grumbling." "I think I am a bit hungry too." "Shall we order some pizza?" "Without green peppers." "Holon... An emergency call from Dr. Kushima." "Patch it in." "It's me." "Understood." "I'm coming now." "What happened?" "It's an emergency." "let's get ready." "Yes." "I am coming too." "Are you sure you are OK?" "I am fine." "so I have been on a diet. all the people who died from brain starvation were regular attenders of a certain club held within the Metal Community. we now know that there are no hardware nor systemic software problems." "All we have to do from now on is to investigate what goes behind that Metal Community." "Is it something to do with what they do?" "Or are we dealing with accidental brain starvation?" "I just have to infiltrate the club and investigate the cause." "Excuse me." "Question." "I have a question." "So what kind of club is that?" "Is it dangerous?" "It's safe." "The Community for the Betterment of the Human Potentiality:" "Gustatory-Based Human Potentiality" "Gourmet Club" for short." "Eh?" "What kind of dish is this?" "WHAT?" "WHAT KIND OF DISH IS THIS?" "THIS IS FISH MAW SOUP! you can't beat this dish." "I am glad to hear it." "This is the ultimate spice that brings out the sublime flavor from a multitude of ingredients." "I am glad that you have tasted it and expressed your appreciation." "what do you know about the ultimate spice?" "Isn't that empty stomach." "That's a well hackneyed cliché from the past." "Actually I have heard of that too many times." "It's just like the Japanese saury fish." "it was only because he ate it on an empty stomach." "Don't you think that this is the real spice?" "No." "It's the fleur de sel." "It's the salt harvested from the top layer." "it has to be black pepper." "I even have to put it on vanilla ice cream." "Don't fall asleep." "Don't fall asleep." "Else you are going to die." "You don't want this to be your last supper." "Are those people serious?" "Can they really taste anything?" "Dubious! and all kinds of information can be downloaded." "So you can enjoy all kinds of sensation no different from reality." "Can I bring you something?" "But I am working right now." "I'm going to fall asleep." "May I have a glass of water." "I don't think it will be good for them when they return to reality." "They start to develop a taste for food over-seasoned with artificial flavor enhancers." "Doesn't that ruin their taste buds?" "Why can't they stop?" "They have already gone beyond their self-control." "It is a form of food addiction." "Food addiction." "Maybe it's better not to over do it." "But I like it this way." "Eating delicious food should be an enjoyable experience." "Tastes good." "Gourmet is about using the five senses." "even the place where the food was born." "What are you saying?" "Every inch of this place contains the story how our food was born. there is no gain without pain." "we have steamed camel's hump." "How can you remain so calm?" "We need food for its nutrients." "Taste is only a secondary function to prompt us to seek for sustenance." "Do you still have something from the past you still now enjoy?" "then it would be black tea." "It's not because I have developed a taste for it." "It's just a habit from the past." "Ah!" "That's how Mr. Haru started to refer you as his tea-drinking friend." "what do you like?" "I am an android." "I am so sorry." "No need." "I like natural oil." "The branded pure oil feels good in my body." "The body and the environment become one." "Some people say it is good for the body to eat local produce. that would be green peppers." "you must know how to halt the production of green peppers." "Please tell me." "Please." "No." "It looks like you can't eat any more." "I overate a bit." "We can't have that." "It is said that ancient Romans used to irritate their throat with peacock feathers so they could continue binging." "But we have no need for that." "May I lend you my favorite utility program. you can continue to eat your heart's fill." "Please excuse me." "May I have some?" "Go ahead." "it would be bad for you if you take too much of it." "So please pay attention to the instruction manual." "Actually this experience is so real." "you can taste anything here." "Eating too much synthetic bad food makes you feel sick." "you won't be able to keep up with the food bill." "We can savor anything inside the Metal without any risk." "The vegetables I have been eating everyday..." "Souta." "skipping breakfast." "That's Aoi's obsession. we still have no means to distribute the produce to the island residents." "Many people link up with the Metal to satisfy their appetite." "I have tasted all kinds of delicacies." "But this glass of water tastes the best." "Ah!" "." "May I have a sip?" "Let's see." "We can't serve this kind of stuff!" "Let me see." "Looks like you have served us mouthwash by mistake." "That's not it." "this tastes weird." "This can't be water." "Bring me hard water right now." "did they drink the hard water?" "Are they still fine?" "What were you talking about? I hate it as it makes my tummy ache." "aren't you talking about hard water?" "What if they start to sense taste out of reality? and experience them as strange taste." "It's the... and potassium." "That's right." "Those things." "That's why they started to crave for calcium and sodium." "they haven't realized the fact that how much aversion they are going to develop towards plain water." "They're going to die." "please get those people out of the Metal now." "they are definitely going to die." "Hurry." "Understood. their over-sensitized senses remained altered even after returning to reality." "they started to experience pain when eating." "The brain is the real organ that recognizes taste." "the brain produces serotonin. which suppresses appetite." "this led to anorexia and death from brain starvation. as stated in their amended membership contract." "It may be better this way." "Eating is something taken for granted. you won't be able to do something as simple as that." "Right." "I should rethink about my campaign to wipe out green peppers." "I am not sure what you are talking about." "But please don't overdo it." "When am I going to wipe out green peppers from this world?" "So you are not eating just for the sake of it." "I am not." "I am wiping them out from this world." "Is that so?" "I have to help you out." "the better it is for the campaign to wipe out green peppers." "What are you doing?" "You stupid Souta!" "Don't shout." "Shut up!" "Stupid Souta! Mr. Mamoru Oshii." "It's a story with the sky as backdrop." "we have put a lot of effort into the aerial battle scenes." "I believe that it will be something epic not seen before till now." "It is only now that we can make this." "Please go and see it." "The Sky Crawlers will be released on 2nd August."
