First Cour: Creative Family

 * 1) "Episode 35" - 21 years ago, Takashi and Ayumi decided to move in with her father, Dr. James temporarily until they could get their own place in that country. That new home would eventually become where their three daughters would spend most of their childhoods.
 * 2) "Her Name Is Hiromi!" (35 mins) - Now a third year student in the University of Greatness and Emotional Torment, Hiromi decides to apply what she's learned in graphic design to set up a Kickstarter campaign for a webcomic she's dreamt about making for quite some time; Mr. Miyake Takashi is tasked with writing a screenplay for the ultimate Wind Calling movie, which will require tons of extensive research on both the old short films and the 2500 episodes of the show currently in circulation; Seasoned mangaka Ayumi has no ideas for a new manga, and as a result, tries to extend her current series' ten-year run. However, it comes with some backlash, as most fans are used to getting a new series every decade.
 * 3) "Picked Up" - Kyoto Animation reaches out to Ayumi to express their interest in making an anime based on her current manga series. She accepts, and suggests that she'd oversee production of the episodes; Takashi decides to binge-watch every episode of the Wind Calling anime with his old pal, Bernard.
 * 4) "Let's Hear it for the Girls" - 16 year-old Haruka, who is trying to make it big doing online anime reviews, feels overshadowed by her parents' success; Meanwhile the youngest sibling, Ami, is secretly making bank from doing commissioned artwork for her friends.
 * 5) "Classic Bernard Shenanigans" - Bernard and Mana go to an underground music venue, where Bernard unexpectedly becomes King of the Underworld.
 * 6) "The Beach Episode" (8 mins) - We shift focus back to Hiromi, as she hangs out with her friends at the beach.
 * 7) "Chase the Soup REMIX" - In a full-length reinvention of the pilot commercial that started it all, Takashi finishes watching 'Wind Calling' by himself. Upon completion, he is still searching for inspiration. Hours later, Ayumi and the girls use the TV, and Takashi walks back into the living room when an ad comes on; a soup commercial with a very interesting plot. And so, Mr. Miyake finishes his 2-hour screenplay in a record time of 3 days.
 * 8) "Bernard: King of the Underworld" - After his week-long reign, Bernard decides to step down as ruler and leave the underground music venue behind. However, this won't be easy, as he must fill out a ridiculous amount of paperwork! Not to mention all the subjects begging for him to stay.
 * 9) "Success and Power" - Now that all of Hiromi's campaigns have finally closed, it's time for her to put that money to good use and get ready to publish copies of her comic: 'I Don't Want It To End;' a series done entirely in reverse chronology, starting from chapter 130. Meanwhile, Takashi pitches his screenplay to former king Bernard via email. Bernard suggests that zero edits be made and that they start production on the film right away.
 * 10) "Sachiko and Seiichi" - Ayumi's brother and sister pay her a visit; at quite a bad time, as Takashi finds out about his precious 13 year-old Ami's illegal commissioned artwork scheme.
 * 11) "Prod" - Ayumi and her team start work on the anime adaptation to her current manga, which she has recently brought to a close.
 * 12) "Wind Calling Film: Chase the Soup!"
