So i've just watched the first two eps of C and its quite awesome, I didn't find anything wrong with the CGI...
Back on topic, First time i saw the ending i noticed it straight away, The 2 QR codes in the beginning of the ED.
For those who don't know what a QR Code is : Wikipedia
First one:
Second One:
Anywho whether you have your own QR reader or not someone was kind enough to Scan it,
First code :
こんにちは。いまあなたがご覧になっているのは、2011年に日本で作成された「C」という題名を持つ 連続TVアニメーションに付着しているエンディング映像です。これは「Conviction（確信）」と名付けられており、「C」本編の各話に 頭文字Cではじまるサブタイトルが付与されていることに起因しています。また、この映像におけるほとんどの主な部分は、Adobe社のAfterEffectsというソフトウェアで作成されています。このソフトウェアは大変素晴らしいものですので、皆さんもぜひ使ってみましょう。そしてナイスな映像を作りましょう。出来上がったら、是非わたくしにも見せて下さい。わたくしは、興味深く独創性に富んだ映像を閲覧するのをとても楽しみにしています。
Second Code :
ひみつ豆知識：このドラマは企画段階のオリジナルタイトルを「CONTROL」といいました。しかし、同時期に放送される同様のタイトルを持つ他番組の存在が発覚したため、「CONTROL」から頭文字だけをとって「C」と名付けられました。「C」には様々な意味が込められています。ミニマルで覚えやすく、そして意味深で、とても素敵な題名だとわたくしは思います。本編のアニメーションは、竜の子プロダクションという会社の人たちがつくっています。いわゆるひとつのチャイルド・オブ・ドラゴンですね。かぁっこイイー！つまり最高にカッコいい人たちが絵を描いたり塗ったり撮影や演出や制作をしているわけですね。超スゲーです。まじリスペクトです。
I don't kno japanese so hoping someone can translate this? I don't trust google translator >.>

Hello. You have a look now, was created in Japan in 2011 “C” is an image sequence ending with a title that is attached to TV animation. This is a “Conviction (confidence)” has been named, “C” stands for each episode of this story can be attributed to C are given starting with the subtitle. In addition, most major parts in this video, Adobe AfterEffects, Inc. has created a software. Because this software is very good, by all means let’s use too. And let’s create a nice picture.出来上Gattara Please also see Watakushi means. Watakushi are really looking forward to viewing the footage of seminal interest.

Hi Mitsu豆 Knowledge: the title of this drama is the original planning stage “CONTROL” and said. However, there was found to have other programs that are broadcast with the same title at the same time, “CONTROL” to take only the first letter “C” was named. “C” has been put to a variety of meanings. Minimal and easy to remember, the meaning and Watakushi think it very nice title. Animation of this story is that the production company who made the children of the dragon. I called one of Dragon Child. Akko Ii I! So you have a shooting and directing, and producing a drawing or painting, or good looking people, or highest. It is very unreal. Seriously I respect.
Raph95 said: It's actually different each episode.
Also in the logo of anime, the big C thing, you can find various words beginning with C, including Chocolate x_X
As for the chocolate, I think Msyu got some bitter-chocolate to eat in the drama CD. Not sure, It's been a while since I listened to it.
As for the two QR Codes:

Hello. What you are currently looking at is the ending sequence attached to the the TV Series namen "C", aired in 2011. This has been named "Conviction", in the main story "C" stands for a subtitle, wach starting with a "C". Also, most of the parts of this sequence have been created with a software called "After Effect" by the Adobe company. This software is really great. Everybody, do try using it. And make some nice sequences. If you have completed it, by all means, please show it to me. I hold a very strong interest in video sequences full of creativity and enjoy looking through them very much.

Secret trivia: I said that the title of this drama would be "Control" as its original planning title. But at the same time there was a discovery of the existence of another program being aired on TV/Radio, hence, I took the beginning letter of "Control" and named it "C". "C" covers various mentions. It's Minimal and easy to remember, contains profound meaning and is a great title I thought. The main part of the animation is being produces by a company called "Dragon Child productions". So to speak, one Child of Dragon, right? How coool! In other words the coolest folks are drawing an coloring and photographing, putting things into scene, and producing, right? I really respect it.
So there was another work with "control" around the same time? What would that be?

Hello. I met you again. For those of you who are looking for a kind of honest and troublesome item like this column that is troublesome to browse, Super Maximum Sunkus. I always love people with curiosity like you. That curiosity may be distracted or scolded in everyday life. But never give up. New ideas and glittering discoveries always come from curiosity. Curiosity advances humans and gives life hope. However, you must kill your curiosity, which can be a nuisance to clarify other people's secrets and love affairs. This kind of wide-show curiosity is called "Hishikokishin," and I hate it.

At the time of the first episode broadcast, the character telop was on Moro on this QR code and I was afraid a lot, but the fact that I could somehow scan it was found, which gave me relief. The error correction ability of the QR code is amazing. In addition, it seems that the wording using this QR code will end as soon as this time (2 episodes). In the 2nd episode, the ending video was revised, so we could prepare a different sentence like this, but it will not be so from the next time. Having separate sentences for each story can also force editors to do extra work. It’s lonely but goodbye. It was fun to interact with you in this way. I look forward to seeing you somewhere again. Take care!

Good evening. Although I have written up to the last as "Hello", since the broadcasting Why do not you think well of late night "Good evening" is I was the appropriate greeting. I'm very sorry. Good evening again. If you are viewing on Blu-ray or DVD, please read at night. Even though I wrote "The wording using this QR code is over" last time, Transcendence, Maximum, Thanks, and Very Match to you who are willing to scan and read it again. &kiss. When I asked the production person violently, "How about changing the beginning of the ending every time?", but I was so spoiled because I received a powerful word "Is it not good?" .. I am very grateful for this.
Google translation:
Secret Tips: The ending video you are seeing (named "Conviction") is initially created at 29.97 frames/sec. Later, it was recreated at 24 frames/sec to ensure consistency with the main video. Then, in broadcasting, this is converted to 29.97 frames/second again and transmitted. That's complicated. In addition, the brightness of the image is also adjusted according to the broadcasting standard. Originally, it was a brighter (= brighter) image, but the brightness of the original version is not allowed in the media of broadcasting, which has the possibility of being viewed by an unspecified number of people. .. It's a little sad, but I think it's a consideration for your health. It's very smart.

Good evening. I talked about "suspicion and curiosity" in this section of the second episode, but there was a voice or idea that the definition of this was ambiguous. In the text, it is about the part "curiosity that causes trouble to clarify". I did not clearly define the definition of what kind of state "is annoying", but I wrote it. In this regard, I fully support the voice or idea. Thank you for your voice or just in case. Even so, the definition is really beautiful. For example, the definition of “May”, which is currently being broadcast, is “the 5th month from the beginning of the year between April and June in the solar calendar, and the 9th seed from the 9th seed in the 24th lunar calendar. It will be a period that overlaps with the 11th small heat." It's a very beautiful phrase.

Secret facts: The logo design of the continuous TV animation "C" that started in April 2011 has several words starting with C embedded in the dot. Let's check on the website etc. and imagine various things (may not be visible unless it is a large image). You should also see two "N" s and one "T" in a square. This was originally added in the atmosphere, but I suddenly came up with it, so I decided to call it the initials of "Noitamina," "Nakamura," and "Takagi." It is a retrofit. However, considering that, mebae's initials are not included. I am terribly sorry. I apologize. I am planning to take the opportunity to replace it with the letter "M" in the future.

Good evening. How are you? The ending image of the continuous TV animation "C" that you are watching now mainly uses three colors intentionally. The three colors are cyan (light blue), magenta (purplish red), and yellow (yellow), and these were respectively selected as the colors that briefly represent Komaro, Shinshu, and the financial district that appear in this volume. It comes from the color of the clothes you wear and the overall visual impression. Cyan = Komaro, Magenta = Shinshu, and Yellow = Financial District. I'm not strictly arranging the equivalent, but for example, a square flying in the air should have a cyan tail, and the reaching square should be magenta. It was
Google translation:
In addition, cyan, magenta, and yellow become black when mixed by the subtractive color mixing method. This is the future. The future is an invisible spiritual phenomenon that has not yet received light, and is a mysterious darkness for us, who can only live in the present (the word "hope for the future" holds true. Is a disturbing place that originally has no hope, so it is a word to reassure about it). However, giving light to the darkness is nothing but the result of one's own actions, and everyone is courageous that Cyan = Komaru Maru Magenta = Shinju / Yellow = Financial District will mix together to create the future. I feel that the secret is to take it and mix it with other colors to shed light on the disturbing future.

Good evening. It's going to be early summer today, how are you guys spending these days (yes, the first episode of "C" episode 6 was around May). Himiso: The figures and screen transitions that appear in the ending image of the continuous TV animation "C" you are watching are adjusted to match the timing of the sound of School Food Punishment's song "RPG" as much as possible. I am. The square that appears in the air is a keyboard instrument, the rectangle that sometimes rains is a string instrument, and the four circles that appear in the middle and the rectangle that connects them are the syllables of a song. There may be more, so please discover it when you have time. Please let me know if you find it. I'm looking forward to it.
ロゴ図案中にあるthe money of soul and possibilityという言葉は、企画書に書かれていたものを図案中にしたためたものです。この言葉を記載するよう特に注文されたわけではなく、図案を作成する段階で独自に挿入したものです。ゆえこの言葉の真意は存じておりません。おりませんけれども、なにかこう言葉から発せられる香り 光彩 引力のようなものに惹かれたのは確かです。原語によるニュアンスは計りかねますが、Cという企画に込められた気持ちというか志というかもっといえば魂のようなものが（実際に「soul」という単語も用いられています）垣間見えるという点において、この言葉はCにとって重要な言葉であると わたくしにはそのように思えたのです。
Google translation:
The word "money of soul and possibility" in the logo design is the one that was written in the plan book. It was not specifically ordered to include this word, it was originally inserted during the design process. Therefore, I do not know the true meaning of this word. I don't know, but it's true that I was attracted to something like the scent and luster of the scent of words. The nuances in the original language are immeasurable, but in the sense that you can see a feeling or aspiration or more like a soul (the word "soul" is actually used) in the plan called C, a glimpse of it. , It seemed to me that this word is important to C.
Google translation:
Good evening. The text you are looking at now is scanned from the QR code inserted in the ending video of the continuous TV animation series "C". Obviously, however, the first thing that appeared on your retina as an optical phenomenon was a pattern of a certain size, with black dots scattered on a white background. Only by scanning this according to a certain law, a human-readable form of "character" has emerged. Therefore, you were essentially just seeing "a pattern of a certain size", not by reading the letters. This composition was just a figure as the first visual form.
Google translation:
At first, it was just a figure, but after a certain stage (reading the QR code), it turns into a meaningful sentence. Oh! What a wonderful phenomenon. This sort of cryptographic euphemism always makes us excited. The nuances are a little different, but it is the same for "reading the line spacing" in novels, for example. This is also called cryptography in the sense that it does exist, although it is not written there. There are many ciphers in the world. Of course, for this drama called "C". Be aware of the screams of the creators hidden not only on the visible surface but also on the back and edges. Let's elucidate the world. These emotional interactions that work with each other and the feeling of understanding each other's emotions enrich the work.
Google translation:
Good evening. What you are looking at right now is a short sentence embedded in the QR code attached to the ending image of the continuous TV animation "C". This form of writing is the second most abstract way of expressing. So, for example, if you want to explain something like "money," write "money" first (if you don't have to write it, or if there's a better way!). What kind of color and shape it is, whether it's beautiful or ugly, where it is, indoors or outdoors, now or in the past, or in the future, who owns it, where it came from, or in dollars In addition, I will try to write the incidental information of the problem as a phrase as clearly as possible.
Google translation:
In other words, expressing in text is nothing less than an attempt to recklessly transform the "money" that can be seen with the naked eye into a form that is nothing more than letters when viewed. Whether it's a poem or a novel, the form of a sentence is difficult to describe in a clear manner when you want to express "money." It is not possible to draw the actual "money" as it is. When trying to explain something concrete, the form of sentences is vague (instead, I'm pretty good at explaining abstract things). Therefore, there is a gap between the writer and the receiver, which is why it is a romantic practice. Romance is important. By the way, I said that the sentence is the second abstract expression. So what is the most abstract form of expression? (to be continued)
Google translation:
(Continued from the last time) I think that the most abstract form of expression is music. For example, what if you want to express "money" by means of music? I feel that writing "money" in the lyrics is enough, but that's just the "textual expression" that I talked about last time. When you try to express money only with truly musical elements such as melody, flow, and arrangement and composition of bass parts, there is an incredible degree of abstraction. This is natural because we are replacing what we visually recognize with hearing. I want to give the musical expression the title of "King of Abstraction" in the sense that it is converted into a form called "sound" that cannot be recognized by human eyes.
Google translation:
The third abstract is visual representation (although images may no longer be abstract). When you want to express "money", it is quick to point the camera at the money itself that can be seen with the naked eye if it is a live-action image (this is a strength and a weak point of live-action images). .. In the serial TV drama "C" you are watching now, however, you are using the means of an animated image that makes a series of still images drawn by human hands. You have to draw it by hand to express the actual money. I feel that there is a special conversion method that is different from the live-action video even though the same video expression is used. In live action, it is fine to shoot what is "there", but in animation, it is necessary to imagine and create literally "everything" in the world. The expression format of animated images is therefore the 2.5th most abstract expression. For us as the audience, I think it's even polite to taste the details of the abstraction, which is unique and extremely rare and sophisticated.

Good evening. Komaro-kun seems to be moving with courage. How about you? If you're afraid of the future and can't take the step, it's time to inspire. Someone is always watching your courageous behavior, even if you don't immediately understand it. By all means. Even if it fails, it should fail grandly. Please stand up so hard that you will almost always fall forward. At least Koromaru-kun should have been. Above all, the drama itself called "C" should have had such an attitude. Rather than walk gently and fear of falling, fall as fast as you can without any fear of anything, and blow away as much as you can. Because the arc of the sky that you drew away is truly beautiful.
Google translation:
So-called "successful" things and technology are of no value. The only unique value and justice in your life lies in your hard work. Your friends and other adults around you will advise you. But they should all be out of sight. There is less than a piece of dust that needs to be "successful" so that it doesn't fail from the beginning. The only thing you can do now, or what you should do, is to take a big step boldly, looking down, innocent, and light. All you have to do is to drown out the voices around you and have the courage to follow your intuition. You can measure things with social honor and monetary value, but you can never deceive yourself whether you worked hard or not. The result is nothing more than a childish and timid value that comes afterwards.

Up to now, we have posted two short essays for each story embedded in the QR code. Normally, it is not permissible for a sentence that is neither a so-called advertisement/advertisement like this composition, nor a setting explanation to supplement the contents of the main part, to appear in the video even though it is ending ( It should be). In the media called TV broadcasting, which is made up of advertisements/advertisements (since it is one of the significant reasons for existence) no matter where you cut out, this column you are looking at is really, really, exactly! I have to say that this is a rare example. In fact, when you go out into the city, you'll see advertisements and promotions everywhere. There is no chance. A complete advertising siege. If a dog walks, it will be an advertisement. We're somehow trying to get us to spend money (but this is justice in a capitalist society; capitalism doesn't guarantee human beauty). This column, which has no intention of advertising in Japan's domestic TV broadcasting under such circumstances, is a very rare column because it is repeated. It is a memorial column for nature. It is an endangered column. Thank you very much.

I would like to express my gratitude for the outstanding generosity of the "C" staff who allowed me to mix such endangered texts within the time axis of the work. .. And to you (and his great curiosity) who have worked so hard to read it, I offer a tremendous amount of praise and respect. This text is an eternal secret that occurred between you who paused the video and scanned the QR code, and the drama "C". A sign of a secret agreement that should not be spoken to anyone. Even if this sentence as a visible secondary one is transcribed on the net, you have purposely analyzed the QR code.Your bold curiosity is a seemingly simple search. You will never be able to gain from such an act, and it will remain forever with a perfect circular and profound moon-like property rising in the dark night. This is the end of the drama series "C" and this composition, but your life will continue. With that curiosity in mind, let's proceed with courage. You don't have to be successful, only if you work hard. Goodbye Thank you and look forward to seeing you again. Take care! Please have a good trip.
