It was the night that all the finished episodes would be showcased. Everyone involved in its production were there. The Thin Shrine Maiden and ZUN were also there. Aya put a disk into a player and pressed a button and the show began. The intro started out with a model of Ichihiro pulling Ani and Kuraraberu pasted a small plain and with the theme song playing in the background, it was an original composition by the Prismriver Sisters and some credits were given.

The intro finished with Ichihiro going under a bridge and pulling into Eientei station. The first episode was Ichihiro and Hiroto. As the night went on, everyone started noticing some defects in the film. Some of the figurines had too much sticky tack on their feet and looked like they were standing on a blob of goo. In certain shots, camera equipment is visible. In some of the episodes, fingers and whole hands were seen. Soon all 13 episodes were watched and everybody were unsure to be the least. Luckily, the Thin Shrine Maiden didn't notice any of the goofs that were made and she approved of it.
ZUN congratulated Aya on her work, Aya gritted her teeth and wanted to punch him, but she swallowed her anger for the moment and told him that it was David's idea. ZUN said his word of approval to David and he accepted. The show's air date was tomorrow and all is to be well.
