This show contains disturbing imagery essential to the plot.

We do not condone the actions depicted.

This is a story about never giving up, and we hope you watch until the end.

Hey, is someone in there?

Pi…

What…

I'm hungry-pi.

I'm a Happian.

I'm on a journey to spread happiness throughout the universe-pi.

Having said farewell to my home, Happy Planet,

I arrived on this green and blue planet today-pi.

But I almost got caught.

And with nothing to eat, I found myself in a pinch-pi.

That's when Shizuka saved me-pi.

Thank you-pi!

The bread's delicious-pi.

I guess you really are an alien.

What's your name?

Nnu-Anu-Kf is my name-pi.

What?

Nnu-Anu-Kf.

Pi! Shizuka looks confused-pi.

You can call me whatever you want-pi.

I see.

How about…

TAKO (OCTOPUS)

Takopi.

Do we look alike? Well, if Shizuka says so…

Shizuka seems to be a type of human called a "fourth grader"-pi.

She knows a lot about living things and is really nice.

When I look at her, I feel kind of…

Shizuka.

Let me repay your kindness-pi.

Flappy Flappy Wings!

It's a Happy Gadget.

You can fly in the air with it-pi.

Like this, see?

What do you think-pi?

Here you go.

Now you try it-pi.

No, I'm good.

What?

I have to buy a pencil board.

- See you. - Wait, what?

The bread was left over from my lunch. Don't worry about it.

I'll give you more tomorrow.

Why won't you try it-pi?

It's so much fun-pi.

Because…

flying in the air won't change anything.

See you tomorrow.

Maybe Shizuka…

has already flown before-pi!

There are many flying creatures on this planet-pi.

Maybe humans can fly too, and they train with the birds every night.

Shizuka, is this part of flight training-pi?

No.

Be quiet.

The kids from school will call animal control if they see you.

Pi!

"School" seems to be where Shizuka goes every day-pi.

So anyway, I broke her pencil board like you told me to, Marina.

Can't wait to see her face tomorrow.

That's the third one this week.

She'll have to buy one again.

Think she's used up her allowance?

Nah.

She can buy it with her welfare money.

They sound happy. Are they discussing fun things to do-pi?

Something like that.

Oh, wait-pi.

You have to let me thank you today-pi.

Today's Happy Gadget is…

Happy Camera!

It looks like an ordinary camera,

but if you take a picture with it-pi…

It instantly prints the image on Happy Paper-pi.

Huh.

Why not just use a smartphone?

It's quite heavy.

Pi! This camera has a special function…

I have to go buy a pencil board.

The store's about to close.

Pi? You're buying another one-pi?

DIE, IDIOT

Yeah.

Mine's gone missing again.

See you tomorrow.

Shizuka is very busy-pi.

But I'll make her happy tomorrow for sure-pi.

3RD DAY OF ARRIVAL

Shizuka!

This is a gadget you can use to throw surprise parties-pi.

- See you. - Pi…

4TH DAY

Today's bread is sweet-pi.

Mr. Always Right!

Like a good friend, this gadget always gives excellent advice-pi.

Uh-huh.

6TH DAY

Today's gadget is amazing-pi.

A ballpoint pen that sounds just like a Saturn rabbit.

Takopi, I gotta go home early today.

See you tomorrow.

Why? Is something wrong-pi?

I have to feed Chappy.

Chappy?

Wanna come?

Pi!

Pi…

That's Chappy? It's huge-pi.

Okay, settle down.

I know you're excited.

Yes, I'm home.

I'm home, Chappy.

Shizuka smiled-pi.

Pi!

Don't eat him, okay?

It's my turn to feed him today.

You can come in.

Pi.

Mom already left for work.

She said she's escorting.

Pi? What does "escorting" mean-pi?

She goes with her clients to different places.

PRODUCE SHOP

She must be really busy-pi.

By the way, where's your father-pi?

I don't have one.

Humans can make babies with just the mother-pi?

That's amazing-pi!

Chappy has been with me since he was just a puppy.

Dad left him for me.

I love Chappy the most.

Pi.

As long as I have Chappy, I'll be fine.

I don't need anything else.

I'll be okay no matter what happens…

no matter how much it hurts or how hard it gets.

You're a bit stinky.

I feel agitated-pi. What is this feeling-pi?

Wait, so she has a father-pi?

Hey, which one is Happy Planet?

Pi, we can't see it from here-pi.

It's far, far away-pi.

Happy Planet is full of Happy Fruits.

They're super yummy-pi.

You should come visit-pi.

I can't go there.

That's not true-pi.

It's just a short ride on the Happy Ship-pi.

I don't believe in magic.

It's not magic, it's a Happy Gadget--

I can't go anywhere.

Not to Happy Planet, or to where my dad is.

My dear child.

Use these Happy Gadgets

to spread happiness throughout the universe.

But be careful. The rules must never be broken.

Mama, forget the rules.

She hasn't even used any of my gadgets-pi.

But

I hope Shizuka can smile more-pi.

Shizuka,

I promise you'll get to visit Happy Planet-pi.

We have lots of Happy Gadgets there, so--

I said I don't believe in magic.

So I'll definitely…

make you smile your brightest-pi!

Oh, but I can't go back to Happy Planet just yet,

so we can't go right away-pi.

But someday, I'll definitely…

Takopi…

You don't smell at all.

Pi!

Pi?

I have to go home now.

Shizuka?

See you tomorrow.

Shizuka!

You're here early-pi. I couldn't wait to see you-pi.

I have a special gadget for you today.

Wait…

What are those marks on your face?

Oh, you have the thing Chappy wears around his neck-pi.

I had a fight with my friend.

I see! So when humans fight, their faces change color-pi.

I turn bright red when I feel shy, so I get it-pi.

Anyway, if you got into a fight, I have the perfect gadget for you-pi.

Patch-Up Ribbon!

This should help-pi.

If you use this ribbon to tie your friend's pinky to yours,

you'll instantly be friends again-pi.

It's really sturdy and can cover any distance.

You can even use it with a friend who's far away.

That's nice.

I want to use it.

Really-pi?

- Let's tie this to your friend's pinky… - I want to do it alone, at my own pace.

Can I borrow it?

What?

Rules of Happy Gadgets:

The gadgets must only be used under the supervision of a Happian.

Never hand over a gadget to an alien.

Please, Takopi.

I can't say no to her-pi.

Here you go-pi.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime-pi.

Got it.

I hope you patch things up with your friend-pi.

Yeah.

Bye-bye.

It's Shizuka. I'm sure she can handle it-pi.

Nothing to worry about-pi.

I'm starting to get a little worried-pi.

Just a little.

I promise I'm not being a busybody-pi.

The ribbon can extend infinitely, so it often gets tangled up-pi.

If that happens, she'll need help untangling it-pi.

I have to help her.

Shizuka?

Shizuka? What are you doing-pi?

Tying the ribbon to a beam has no effect-pi.

I'll explain how to use it again-pi.

It's okay, you can come down now-pi.

Shizuka?

Shizuka?

Shizuka? Shizuka--

She's dead?

Why?

Why?

Why is she dead?

Shizuka is dead-pi.

The ribbon around her neck…

It's the ribbon I lent her to patch things up with her friend.

Never hand over…

a gadget to an alien.

This is all because I broke the rules.

Shizuka…

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

In this vast universe,

death is the one law that applies equally to all.

Nothing can undo it.

Even the cleverest gadget

can't bring the dead back to life.

But…

If you take a picture with it-pi,

it instantly prints the image on Happy Paper-pi.

Why not just use a smartphone?

I didn't get to tell you,

but this camera has a special function-pi.

It's a space-time camera.

You can only save one photo at a time.

And if you feed it into the camera,

you can return to the moment the photo was taken.

It's been seven days since I landed here.

Earth, the third planet of its solar system.

Humans, the intelligent beings that live here.

In your language,

the act of taking your own life is called "suicide."

Why does this behavior exist?

Why did you commit suicide?

I don't understand.

That's why I want to ask you-pi.

I want to talk to you more and get to know you better.

Together, we'll figure out a future where you don't have to die-pi.

Shizuka, I'll do whatever it takes to see you smile tomorrow.

Takopi?

What's wrong?

Why'd you freeze up?

Hello?

Pi.

Oh, right. The camera-pi.

Here's the photo-pi.

Takopi?

Don't mind me-pi.

If you say so.

Anyway, I have to go buy a pencil board.

- Pi? - The store's about to close.

- See you. - Wait-pi!

Pi.

I need to know more about Shizuka-pi.

I'll start with the place she goes to every day.

What's it called again?

Shizuka!

Starting tomorrow,

take me to "school" with you-pi!

DIE!

So this is "school."

I think I can learn more about Shizuka here.

Hey.

Good morning, Parasite.

That's Marina.

The girl I saw at the park-pi.

What's a "parasite"-pi?

Do you ever not stink?

You smell just like your filthy dog.

It's okay, Shizuka. Don't mind her.

I don't mind taking you,

but won't they call animal control if they see you at school?

Pi, I have just the thing.

Flower Pin!

If I stick this on my head,

I look like a Happy Flower to everyone else-pi.

Happy Flower?

Why do you have a chameleon plant in your hair?

- What a weirdo. - Looks super dumb.

Class is starting. Go back to your seats.

First things first.

I need to know how Shizuka is doing at school-pi.

Is there something here that made her want to die?

Let's see… Kuze, what's the answer?

Actually, Kuze said she forgot to do her homework.

No, my notebook…

Is that so?

Azuma, you're up.

I got it-pi.

Shizuka died because she was sad about forgetting her homework-pi.

I can fix this!

- Takopi? - Shizuka.

Here are the answers for your homework. Question one, 35.

Question two, 162.

That's correct.

Okay, next question.

- Kirarazaka. - Huh?

Well, um…

Did you forget your homework?

Azuma, you're up.

What's wrong? Finish your lunch.

Don't you feel bad wasting all that food?

You waste your food but don't pay the lunch fees.

How shameless can you get?

Huh? Again-pi?

Maybe Shizuka died because she was sad about not finishing her lunch.

I've got this.

Shizuka!

Takopi?

Leave it to me-pi!

Did she eat the corncob too?

That's so freaky.

Problem solved-pi.

DIE, SCUM

DIRTY SLUT SHIZUKA KUZE

Wait… Could it be?

Could it be that…

Are you and Marina fighting-pi?

When Happians fight,

we hide each other's Happy Paper.

We do this to draw each other's attention, so we can make up and be friends again.

That must be why Marina hid Shizuka's notebook-pi.

And all that staring can only mean one thing.

She wants to be friends again!

You think we're fighting?

I guess we are.

I knew it-pi.

They should make up as soon as possible.

Oh, there you are, Kuze.

Marina wants to talk to you.

Gym storage, lunchtime.

This is their chance-pi!

Shizuka?

Marina's waiting for you-pi. Aren't you going to meet her-pi?

I'm going.

Don't rush me.

Talking and listening to each other is the secret to making up-pi.

Talkings things out leads to happiness-pi.

You're only saying that because you've never talked to Marina.

Pi?

That's not true… Pi!

Maybe their fight is more serious than I thought-pi.

Did she eat Marina's Happy Pudding without asking?

They should really patch things up.

Pi.

In that case…

Transformation Palette!

I just need a piece of you in this before I press the button.

Look, I transformed into you-pi.

Wait here in the restroom.

I'll go talk to her-pi!

As Shizuka, I can help patch things up.

You're late.

Maybe they're angry with each other, but if we just talk things out…

Sorry-pi.

Why are you talking like that? You're so weird.

Marina, listen.

I've been wanting to talk to you-pi.

You don't seem to get it. Stop talking like that, it's super gross.

I'm sorry-pi.

Are you an anime nerd now?

What's with the "pi"?

I already know you're gross, no need to double down on it.

- I'm sorry. - I'll get straight to the point.

You've been way too cocky, eating your lunch like you earned it.

Huh?

- This isn't talking. My cheek hurts-pi. - Your family doesn't even pay taxes.

Back on Happy Planet, we're never this rough with each other-pi.

I can't get up-pi.

I feel like crying.

- Huh? - What?

- Nothing-- - I'm scared.

Listen to what I'm saying.

Marina…

I…

Stop calling my name.

I don't want your nasty whore germs.

I'm scared.

She's so scary.

It hurts.

I can't speak-pi.

It hurts. I feel like crying. I want to run and hide.

But…

Marina!

Listen, I don't know why you're doing this.

But if you just talk to me, I'm sure I'll understand.

- So-- - Who do you think you are?

You're dirty trash.

Your mom's a whore who leeches off men.

You don't get to lecture me.

Give me back my dad!

Marina, wait… pi.

I told you not to talk like that.

This…

isn't working.

Takopi?

Here are the answers to your homework…

- Good morning. - Morning!

What made Marina act like that-pi?

She said something about…

You've been way too cocky, eating your lunch like you earned it.

And you gave the homework answers like they were too easy for you.

Wait, could all this be…

The answer is 162.

- Wow. - She's so smart.

Could all this be my fault-pi?

Okay, I'll go see her now.

Shizuka is going to get hurt, and it's all my fault.

I should go in her place-pi.

This time, I may be able to fix things.

Hurry up and go-pi.

Move it-pi.

I'm too scared to move-pi.

I want to take Shizuka's place and help her get through this, but…

I'm such a coward.

But I still…

I need a teacher…

Someone, anyone!

Go to the gym storage!

Help!

If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.

Okay, Azuma.

We can talk about it at the next class meeting.

It's next Wednesday.

No, I'm fine.

Bye.

You can try talking to a different teacher.

Like the PE teacher, Mr. Hodoya.

I often see him at the student council meetings.

He's kind of intimidating--

It won't change anything.

See you.

See you.

Are you sure you don't want that boy's help-pi?

Yeah.

I see-pi.

Shizuka, I'm sorry--

You saved me, didn't you?

The teacher was so confused.

"You came to get me, Kuze. How are you the one getting beaten up?"

Thanks to you, Marina only hit my face.

Pi? But Shizuka, I was…

Not just today.

You've done so much for me.

You gave me the answers to my homework and helped finish my lunch.

You found my notebook too.

No-pi.

I only made things worse. That's why you got hurt today-pi.

It isn't you.

School's been like this for me ever since Marina's dad and my mom got close.

All I did was cower and watch from afar.

I didn't do anything for her.

Shizuka…

School isn't fun at all.

I have to face Marina, and it's full of awful things.

But…

I'm starting to think it's not so bad.

Shizuka, I'm sorry.

Huh?

I know I'm useless,

but I'll do my best to help you-pi.

Whatever it takes to keep you from dying.

Die!

This sucks! I was going for a ten-day after-school bullying streak.

What's with her this week?

How dare she…

Your father's having dinner with that woman.

You could've come home earlier, Mari.

You're never here for me when he starts yelling.

Mari…

You're on my side, aren't you?

I need to vent a little. Be a good girl and listen, okay?

Okay.

Pi…
