"Your Favorite Color Tells
All About Your Mental State!"
**[00:10] Ryou**
Hello, everyone. I'm Ryou the psychologist.
**[00:13] Asuna**
I'm Nurse Asuna.
**[00:15] Iyashi**
I'm a goddess.
**[00:17] Ryou**
*Who is that?*
**[00:19] Iyashi**
I come when called! Hello!
**[00:21] Iyashi**
I am the goddess of color.
**[00:23] Ryou**
Goddess? Wait, wait, wait!
**[00:24] Ryou**
This world view is already messed up!
**[00:28] Asuna**
A simple gag anime doesn't have world views.
**[00:31] Ryou**
*She said it!*
**[00:31] Asuna**
Right, Sis?
**[00:33] Iyashi**
That's right, Asuna.
**[00:34] Ryou**
That's your sister?! So she's human, then!
**[00:37] Asuna**
You really thought she was a goddess?
**[00:39] Ryou**
What?!
**[00:40] Iyashi**
Nice to meet you. I'm the eldest
Kangoshi daughter, Kangoshi Iyashi.
**[00:43] Iyashi**
Thanks for always taking
care of my nurse sister.
**[00:45] Ryou**
She's more polite than I expected!
**[00:47] Asuna**
C'mon, Sis. I'm the one
who takes care of him.
**[00:49] Iyashi**
That's true. He seems like
he needs a lot of care.
**[00:53] Iyashi**
Do you change his diapers, too?
**[00:54] Asuna**
Of course. He wets them right away.
**[00:56] Iyashi**
Oh, dear.
**[00:57] ---**
Big excitement leads to big floods, huh?
**[00:59] Ryou**
What?!
**[01:02] Ryou**
Now, today we'll conduct a
psychological test using colors.
**[01:05] Asuna**
A psychological test using colors?
**[01:06] Asuna**
That's sexual harassment!
**[01:07] Ryou**
Huh?
**[01:08] Guy**
The color you chose is the color
of the underwear you're wearing.
**[01:12] Girl**
Oh, gosh!
**[01:13] Iyashi**
Do you always sexually
harass my sister this way?
**[01:15] Iyashi**
Do you always direct that carnal lust
upon young girls' soft, snow white skin?
**[01:19] Ryou**
No! And why does that sound like
some erotic novel for old men?!
**[01:23] Ryou**
Anyway, choose your favorite
from among these colors.
***SIGN*** Have You Chosen?
**[01:27] Ryou**
And here's the explanation.
***SIGN*** White
**[01:29] Ryou**
First, white.
**[01:31] Ryou**
Do you know why
**[01:32] ---**
the image of hospitals, including
our white coats, is generally white?
**[01:35] Asuna**
So no one will notice when
you dribble toothpaste.
***SIGN*** Dribble
**[01:38] Ryou**
No! It's not to hide stains!
**[01:40] Iyashi**
That's not good, Asuna.
Isn't the answer obvious?
**[01:44] Iyashi**
Because it's obscene.
**[01:45] Ryou**
I didn't expect her answer
to come from that direction!
**[01:47] Ryou**
In color psychology, white is said to
give an image of purity and freshness.
**[01:52] Ryou**
That clean image is why
hospitals mainly use white.
**[01:56] Iyashi**
So the contrast is what makes
white coat cosplay so appealing!
**[01:58] Iyashi**
That *is* obscene!
**[01:59] Ryou**
You're still insisting on that?!
**[02:01] Ryou**
Next is black, the color said
to be white's exact opposite.
***SIGN*** Black
**[02:03] Ryou**
In color psychology, people who
like black are highly sensitive
**[02:07] Ryou**
and tend to dislike being
directed by others.
**[02:10] Iyashi**
I like black.
**[02:11] Ryou**
Really? I thought so...
**[02:12] Iyashi**
Yes, that glistening,
shimmering jet black...
**[02:14] [SONG] Text**
Enthralled...
**[02:15] Ryou**
Where are you trying to take this anime?!
**[02:18] Ryou**
And then, red.
**[02:18] [SONG] Text**
Red
**[02:19] Ryou**
People who choose red are very dynamic,
**[02:21] Ryou**
but they can have drastic mood swings
and become emotionally unstable.
**[02:25] Asuna**
Sis, you also like red, don't you?
**[02:27] Iyashi**
I'm a super-cool young person in the now.
**[02:30] Iyashi**
I'd be a liar, liar,
pants on fire if I said I didn't.
**[02:31] Ryou**
That language is a bit outdated!
**[02:33] Ryou**
Red is also known as an "expansive color."
**[02:35] Ryou**
Red makes things appear
larger than they are.
***SIGN*** As Swift as Wind, As Silent as Forest, As Fierce as Fire As Unshakable as Mountain
***SIGN*** Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain
*(Fuurin Kazan)*
**[02:38] Ryou**
Many men in Takeda Shingen's
army colored their weapons red.
**[02:42] Ryou**
It's said that they did so
to intimidate their enemies.
**[02:44] Iyashi**
So that's why they call red lucky
underwear "Takeda's night army."
***SIGN*** Fuurin Kazan
**[02:47] Ryou**
Why do you always take the
conversation in that direction?
***SIGN*** Blue
**[02:50] Ryou**
And then blue.
**[02:51] Ryou**
People who like blue are
said to be calm and quiet,
**[02:55] Ryou**
and to be very respectful
of social hierarchies.
**[02:58] Asuna**
Yes! I like blue!
**[03:00] Asuna**
I'm respectful of social hierarchies!
**[03:01] Asuna**
So you do get it, even though
you're just Dr. Ryou!
**[03:04] Ryou**
*Huh?! Has she decided that I'm beneath her?!*
**[03:06] Ryou**
Next is pink.
***SIGN*** Pink
**[03:07] Ryou**
People who like pink are said
to be peaceful and stable,
**[03:10] Ryou**
but they have a tendency toward dependence.
**[03:12] Ryou**
By the way, experiments showed
that violent prisoners
**[03:16] Ryou**
placed in a room painted pink
took on a calmer mental state.
**[03:19] Iyashi**
Wow...
**[03:20] Iyashi**
What if they were placed in a
room covered with pink flyers?
**[03:22] Ryou**
That'd just make them sexually violent!
**[03:24] Ryou**
There are other colors, like purple,
which is said to indicate arrogance,
**[03:29] Ryou**
but I'll digress a bit here.
**[03:30] Ryou**
It's said that cool colors,
like blue and aqua,
**[03:32] Ryou**
and warm colors, like red and orange,
***SIGN*** Cool Colors
***SIGN*** Warm Colors
**[03:35] Ryou**
cause people to sense time differently.
**[03:38] Iyashi**
Which makes you more sensitive?
**[03:40] Ryou**
That's not what I meant!
**[03:41] Ryou**
When looking at cool colors,
time feels shorter,
***SIGN*** Warm Colors
***SIGN*** Cool Colors
**[03:44] Ryou**
and when looking at warm
colors, time feels longer.
**[03:46] Iyashi**
What if you're looking
at man-on-man colors?
**[03:49] Ryou**
That would stop time! Wrong kind of color!
**[03:51] Ryou**
So when you're meeting with someone,
**[03:53] Ryou**
it may be best to suggest a place with
cool colors in case you're late.
**[03:57] Iyashi**
Would it be okay to come a day late?
**[04:00] Ryou**
He'd definitely turn blue, then.
**[04:01] Ryou**
On the other hand, warm colors are often
used in places that serve alcohol.
**[04:06] Ryou**
This is a strategy to
increase the turnover rate.
**[04:08] Iyashi**
So wearing a red obi would make it
easier to twirl a lady in kimono?
***SIGN*** Oh, nooooo!
***SIGN*** Turnover Rate Up!
**[04:12] Ryou**
Not that kind of "turn"!
**[04:13] Iyashi**
As you can see...
**[04:15] Iyashi**
There are all kinds of
psychology behind colors.
**[04:17] Ryou**
Huh?!
**[04:18] Iyashi**
For example, blue is ideal
if you want to calm down.
**[04:20] Iyashi**
If you want to work hard, red is ideal.
**[04:22] Iyashi**
You should wear the color
with the effect you desire,
**[04:24] ---**
and keep that color around you.
**[04:26] Iyashi**
I hope today's discussion has been helpful.
**[04:28] Ryou**
* She took over at the end*
* and wrapped everything up!*
**[04:30] Asuna**
I thought we wouldn't make it to the end
**[04:32] ---**
thanks to Dr. Ryou's pacing. Right, Sis?
**[04:34] Iyashi**
That's right.
**[04:35] Ryou**
That's entirely your fault, you two.
