The members of the Kaminoyama Animation Club, Aoi, Ema, Shizuka, Misa and Midori swore upon donuts that one day, they would all work in the anime industry. Two and a half years later, they are heading toward those dreams and all the hardships that come with them. Aoi is now working as a production assistant at an animation studio and doing her best. After getting key frames from one of the animation supervisors, she returns to the office but there's no one around.

The incident happened at Musashino Animation. Tarou tells Aoi about why Endou is so mad. The reason was an explosion scene that was supposed to be hand drawn was now going to be done in 3D. Tarou was supposed to tell Endou about the change, but the way he tells him ends up setting off a whole new problem.
