00:00Hello. Thank you for watching today.
00:18Today's topic is Kimagure Orange Road.
00:21Kimagure Orange Road is a youthful love comedy that begins when a family moves into town and the protagonist accidentally catches a red straw hat that has been blown away by the wind on the stairs of a long hill.
00:40Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:43Kimagure Orange Road was originally written by Izumi Matsumoto and aired for a total of 48 episodes between 1987 and 1988.
00:59The story begins when Kasuga Kyosuke is taking a walk between moves and is climbing a long flight of stairs, trying to finish counting the number of steps when a red straw hat comes flying out of nowhere and he has to catch it.
01:14Then, at the end of the stairs, a woman stood and announced that she was the owner of the hat Kyosuke was holding.
01:22Kyosuke then climbs the stairs to the top, and although there is disagreement over whether there should be 99 or 100 steps, they agree on 99.5. The woman then hands Kyosuke her hat and leaves.
01:37Kyosuke is puzzled, but when he gets home, his sister Kurumi is using her psychic powers to try to organize her moving boxes, but she is unable to control them and Kyosuke ends up being crushed under the dresser.
01:53In fact, the Kasuga family has a secret: all of the siblings except for their father have psychic powers, but the reason they moved out this time was because Kurumi was abusing her powers.
02:06After a while, the move comes to an end and Kyosuke is reminiscing about the girl in the red straw hat in his room, but strangely, he finds himself not feeling like he's meeting her for the first time.
02:20The next day, he heads to his new school, an elderly school, but on the way there he meets Hiyama Hikaru, a delinquent on a motorcycle.
02:28After arriving at school, Kyosuke finishes introducing himself to his class and takes his seat, but when he sees the Aikawa Mado family's seat empty, even though his bag is there, for some reason it bothers him.
02:43Then, during recess, they hear the sound of a saxophone, so they head to the music room and learn that the player is Aikawa Madoya.
02:54After school, Hiyama Hikaru is harassed by some motorcycle delinquents who had arrived that morning and their friends, and Kurumi tries to help him using her psychic powers, but is stopped by Kyosuke and Manami.
03:08At that moment, the Aikawa Mado family suddenly appears, beats up the delinquent students, and rescues Hiyama Hikaru.
03:16In the midst of all this, Kyosuke sees the Aikawa Mado family and is surprised to see that it is a girl wearing a red straw hat.
03:25After chasing away the delinquents, Aikawa Madoka reaches for a cigarette, but Kyosuke uses his psychic powers to crush it and give her a lecture.
03:36The two met through a strange coincidence, but as they become more aware of each other, they soon realize that it was a fateful encounter.
03:47Now, let me introduce the characters.
03:50Kasuga Kyosuke is the protagonist of this work and the eldest son of the Kasuga family.
03:58Kyosuke's mother's side of the family has a bloodline of psychic abilities, and all of his siblings are psychic, but his younger sister, Kurumi, almost reveals their secret, and in the story they move for the seventh time.
04:13During his time at the weather station, he meets Aikawa Madoya, who could be called his soulmate, and is involved in a love triangle with Madoya and his junior, Hiyama Hikaru. Through his interactions with his friends, including his own indecisive personality and psychic powers, he experiences some slapstick comedy, but also lives through his youth.
04:34Towards the end, the past and present intertwine, and the situation takes a sudden turn as the secret of the encounter with the Mado family is revealed.
04:46Aikawa Madoka is Kyosuke's classmate and the heroine of the story.
04:51Her parents are world-renowned musicians, and she lives in the United States, leaving her and her older sister in Japan.
04:58Also, after his older sister got married and moved to another town, he was living alone, and although he was intelligent, before Kyosuke transferred to the school he was a well-known lone wolf delinquent at school.
05:14In the story, since Kyosuke transferred schools, his delinquent behavior has disappeared and he continues to work part-time as a waitress at the Abacab coffee shop, while his parents overseas ask him to live with them.
05:26Hiyama Hikaru is a junior of Kyosuke and the Mado family who attend an elderly school, and is a girl with a bright personality and a childlike heart.
05:37Because Kyosuke has psychic powers, she believes he is good at all sports, so she calls him darling and makes aggressive advances towards him.
05:46On the other hand, she was unable to sense the faint feelings of love that Madoya and Kyosuke had for each other, and she was desperate to get Kyosuke's attention even in front of Madoya.
05:58Kasuga Manami is Kyosuke's younger sister who attends a school for the elderly, but she also behaves sensibly and is a reliable member of the Kasuga family, taking care of the household chores for a motherless family.
06:11She is also usually good friends with her twin sister, Kurumi, and they often hang out together, but apart from at home, she does not use her psychic powers excessively like Kurumi when there are no other family members around.
06:26Kurumi Kasuga is Kyosuke's younger sister who attends a school for the elderly. She has a personality that is the complete opposite of her twin sister, Manami. She is curious, yet still retains a childlike quality, and is the troublemaker of the Kasuga family, as she is quick to use her psychic powers when something happens.
06:46In fact, the seventh move in the story was caused by Kurumi using her psychic powers to run 100 meters in 3 seconds at her previous school.
07:01Takashi Kasuga is Kyosuke's father and a photographer. After losing his wife when Kurumi was born, he has been raising his three siblings alone ever since.
07:12On the other hand, his psychic powers were inherited from his wife, and he was the only one in the family without them, so he was troubled by how his children used them.
07:26Seiji Komatsu is a classmate of Kyosuke's and has photos and information about female students, but his attempts to approach them have all failed and they don't seem to pay him any attention.
07:37He still has an image of Madoka as a delinquent from the past, so he treats her coldly.
07:47Hatta Kazuya is Kyosuke's classmate, and usually hangs out with Komatsu and devotes himself to hunting for girls.
07:54In addition, like Komatsu, he had a somewhat bad image of Madoka, but as they spent time together, the misunderstandings seemed to disappear, as he protected Madoka from the fixed-price disposal.
08:07Hino Yusaku is a student at the Senior Citizens Academy and a childhood friend of Madoka and Hikari.
08:16As a child, she was a crybaby and had feelings for Hikaru, who often helped her from bullies. Kyosuke became her love rival, and despite being her senior, she called him by his first name.
08:28Grandpa is Kyosuke's maternal grandfather, a psychic and curious man who lives in the countryside.
08:37Perhaps because he lives in the countryside, he uses his psychic powers on a daily basis, and sometimes accidentally uses them even when Madoka and the others come to visit.
08:47Towards the end of the story, he becomes a key person who has a huge influence on Kyosuke and Madoka's relationship by using his psychic powers of time travel.
09:00Grandma keeps a watchful eye over her psychic and wild Grandpa, and also guards the ancestral island that holds the secrets of Ippo's supernatural powers, protecting it from intruders.
09:14In the story, he uses lightning to warn Kyosuke and Madoka as they try to cross over to the island.
09:25Kazuya is Kyosuke's cousin who lives next door to him in the same apartment building, and he is also a psychic.
09:31His appearance is identical to that of Kyosuke as a child, but while he acts mature and precocious towards Kyosuke, he is a unique character who behaves like a child towards Madoka and the others.
09:46The Master is the owner of Abacab, the cafe where Madoka works part-time, and is someone who understands the delicate relationship and feelings between Kyosuke and Madoka and supports them.At the same time, he is also a reliable adult man who acts as a father figure to Madoka, whose parents are away in Japan.
10:07Jingoro is the Kasuga family's pet cat, and seems to often become the victim of Kurumi's psychic pranks.
10:17He was often depicted using his psychic powers to levitate and scratch unwanted guests or those he disliked.
10:26This work has a different ending scene from the final episode serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, and the following is the synopsis of the final episode in the original work.
10:39In the final episode, Madoka, encouraged by her parents, decides to study abroad at a music school in Los Angeles. On the day before she leaves, Kyosuke and Madoka meet, and when Madoka asks Kyosuke if he likes or loves her, Kyosuke replies that he likes Hikaru and that Aikawa loves him.
11:02Then, on the day I was leaving Japan, my friends, including Kyosuke, came to Narita Airport to see me off.
11:11Hikaru arrives late, but while hearing from Manami about Madoka and Kyosuke's relationship, Kyosuke kneels down and apologizes for not telling Madoka about his relationship with her.
11:22After that, Hikaru hits Kyosuke with a punch, and then he tells Madoka that he wants to distance himself from Kyosuke and asks him to come back soon, and the two of them embrace.
11:36The following spring, Kyosuke, who has gone on to university, meets Madoka, who has returned to Japan, at the top of the Hundred Steps. When Kyosuke asks, "Like or love," Madoka replies, "Like, that's as close to love as you can get," and the series ends with the two of them kissing.
11:56And Squid will be the final episode of this animated series, with the final episode being a continuation from the previous episode.
12:08One sunny day, Madoka wakes up Kyosuke, who is dozing under a tree, and tells him in amazement that he's fallen asleep in the middle of the day. Kyosuke replies, "That's why it's called a nap."
12:21At that moment, Madoka tells Kyosuke that this casual conversation brought back memories of a certain person from six years ago, and that she has made an appointment to meet that person today.
12:37Furthermore, Hikaru tells Kyosuke that Madoka and that person shared their first kiss six years ago, which upsets Kyosuke.
12:45Later, while Kyosuke was worried at home, he repeatedly muttered to himself, "Six years ago," so his grandfather used a single slash to send Kyosuke back in time six years.
13:00After time-traveling, Kyosuke, unaware that he has traveled back in time, accidentally sees a woman, unchanged, kissing a stranger. Shocked, he runs off, and in the park he meets two young children, Yusaku and Hikaru.
13:18When he takes the two of them to a nearby shop to order ice cream, he pays with a 500 yen coin, but when he finds out that coins were not in circulation six years ago, Kyosuke realizes that he has traveled back in time to 1982.
13:39Afterwards, although he was confused, the weather was so nice that he ended up dozing off under a tree, when he was woken up by a girl he didn't know and unconsciously uttered the line, "Isn't that why it's called a nap?"
13:57However, shortly afterwards, a fight breaks out between the girl and members of her rival soccer club, and Kyosuke gets caught up in it.
14:07During the fight, a girl falls into a construction site at the bottom of a cliff, and Kyosuke uses his psychic powers to save her.
14:18Furthermore, after it turns out that this girl is Madoka from six years ago, she immediately leaves.
14:26When Kyosuke hears from Arisaku that Madoka has been harassed again by the soccer club members, he immediately heads to the scene.
14:35However, it was a trap to catch Kyosuke, and he was caught in the thrown net, but he managed to escape with Madoka using his psychic powers.
14:48Meanwhile, in the present day, Madoka informs her friends that her father has fallen ill and that he will be leaving for America tomorrow.
15:00However, Kyosuke is nowhere to be found, and as Madoka searches for him, her grandfather sends her back in time six years.
15:11Around that time, Madoka loses her hat while using her psychic powers to escape, so they visit a hat shop and Kyosuke ends up buying Madoka the red straw hat.
15:27Later, as Kyosuke, exhausted and defeated, lies under a tree, Madoka suddenly kisses him and promises to meet him again in six years.
15:40Kyosuke watches her back, but after a sudden flash of light, modern-day Madoka appears, and he realizes that they have both been sent to the past by their grandfather.
15:53Kyosuke also confesses to Madoka that he is a psychic, and by traveling back in time, Madoka tells Kyosuke that she is able to cancel the American station.
16:10Later, while heading to the store to buy food for Madoka, Kyosuke falls down the stairs and ends up in a parallel world.
16:21In this world, Kyosuke is on the run from Hikaru, Yusaku, Komatsu, and Hatta, and when he returns home, his sisters Manami and Kurumi attack him with their psychic powers, treating him as a suspicious person.
16:38Kyosuke also somehow ends up at the Abacab cafe, where he meets Madoka, but he soon gets caught up in negotiations with a biker gang, and Madoka is captured and whipped.
16:52After the whipping, Madoka is almost assaulted by the men, but Kyosuke saves her and they escape on a motorcycle, but he falls off the bike and returns to his original world.
17:09Meanwhile, when Kyosuke returns from the parallel world, he finds Kazuya there, sent by his grandfather to pick him up.
17:20Therefore, Kyosuke decides not to stay in the past and instead decides to wait for Madoka to return from America, and the three of them return to the present.
17:31The scene changes, and Madoka exchanges the same lines with Kyosuke, who is pretending to be asleep under a tree, and the show ends with the two sharing their second first kiss.
17:50Now, let's take a look at Kyosuke and his friends' youth.

21:49There are various theories about the meaning of the title Orange Road and the name of the coffee shop Abacab, but the exact meaning is unclear, so if anyone knows, I would love to hear it.
