It’s an interesting look at how another country handles students making money, at a time when here in America there is a big movement by student athletes to receive payment for their work, and in which many of the same arguments (love of the game, for example) are made by the schools against their budding entrepreneurs. Unable to convince Kanamori, they simply fall back on their authority to prohibit any profit. The school doesn’t want the risk of any bad image or publicity that comes from students running a business with the school’s name attached. Kanamori almost lazily pokes hole after hole in their argument (why do students get to make money at the culture festival, why isn’t making money educational, finding out how to make money prepares us to be better adults, and more), but eventually the Student Council translates the administration’s real message: This was quite the argument: the school’s point boils down to “students shouldn’t be making money, there’s plenty of time to do that when you’re adults”, while the Eizouken’s (read: Kanamori’s) point is “making money quantifies the value of our work and is a valuable life lesson”. The first was the confrontation between the school administration and the Eizouken. This episode had two major parts, and each deserves a look. When Doumeki proposes going on a short trip to acquire local sounds, the whole group accompanies her, and there Asakusa finds inspiration in the local scenery to help tie the plot together. Kanamori starts to worry that the story doesn’t have a lot of cohesiveness, and Asakusa doesn’t do a lot to dispel this worry. As the team works on the latest animation, the Student Council and teachers crack down further, prohibiting the club from making money from their work.
