    Hana Ranman! Bloom Ball
SIGN    Anime adaptation confirmed!!
[00:54] Har
    Wow... So this is the project
    we're auditioning for?
SIGN    Their Respective Colors
[02:34] Fuku
    It's been three days.
[02:36] Fuku
    But auditioning over a hundred
    people does wear you out.
[02:39] Wom
    This is the last one, Director.
[02:42] Dir
    Where are they from?
[02:43] Wom
    They're all from AiRBLUE.
[02:46] Fuk
    AiRBLUE?
[02:48] Fuk
    Never heard of it.
[02:50] Dir
    It's a new agency.
[02:52] Dir
    Remember, Otori Masaki went independent.
[02:57] Girl
    Hana Ranman! Bloom Ball is a super popular
    manga in the monthly magazine Elephant.
[03:03] Girl
    Its creator is Muryozaka Keiko-sensei.
[03:06] Girl
    It's about a group of high school
    girls in the not-so-distant future
[03:09] Girl
    who bet their youth on a dodgeball-esque
    game called Bloom Ball.
[03:13] Girl
    Here are the original comics.
[03:15] Girl
    And here are the materials for the audition.
[03:18] Har
    It has a lot of volumes.
[03:20] Shi
    You mean you don't know this work?
[03:23] Har
    Well, I've heard the name before...
[03:27] Han
    It's really famous.
[03:29] Han
    And it's about sports, so I'm a big fan!
[03:31] Har
    Really?
[03:33] Har
    What about you, Maika-chan?
[03:34] Mai
    Of course!
[03:35] Mai
    It's getting a game adaptation, too.
[03:37] Mas
    May I?
[03:38] Mas
    This is a rare opportunity for new talent
    like you to all audition together.
[03:43] Riko
    Really?
[03:45] Rio
    That's right.
[03:46] Rio
    Everyone, look over those
    documents you just got.
[03:49] Rio
    It's a list of all the characters
    in today's audition.
[03:52] Rio
    Each team has four players, so with
    six schools, that's 24 characters.
[03:55] Rio
    It's very rare to have an audition
    for that many people at once.
[03:58] Mas
    They said the creator
    absolutely insisted they do this.
[04:01] Rio
    Thanks to that, all fifteen of
    you from AiRBLUE get to audition.
[04:06] Rio
    But only Masaki-san's last-minute
    negotiations secured our chance.
[04:10] Riko
    So that's why we had to do
    that thing out of the blue.
[04:13] Mas
    In today's audition, each person
    can only try out for one part.
[04:18] Mas
    Read the audition materials
    and the manga,
[04:20] ---
    and pick the character you want to play.
[04:23] All
    Yes, ma'am.
[04:24] Har
    Excuse me... I'm not really
    familiar with this manga.
[04:28] Air
    I'm not, either.
[04:30] Rie
    Nor am I familiar.
[04:33] Rie
    But as far as picking a
    character is concerned,
[04:35] ---
    all I need to do is open my third eye and—
[04:37] Mei
    Rie, this one's you, right?
    I'll pick this one.
[04:40] Rie
    Oh, really?
[04:41] Rie
    W-Well, if you say so...
[04:43] ---
    I mean, my third eye had actually
    chosen that one, as well.
[04:49] Rio
    If you don't know it well enough,
    you'll audition toward the end.
[04:52] Rio
    For now, just try to get acquainted
    with the manga as much as possible.
[04:57] Har
    Is there enough time?
[04:59] Mas
    If not, you can still do it without
    full knowledge of the material.
[05:03] Mas
    Simply act out your part
    without any preconceived ideas,
[05:06] Mas
    and play the character you feel the most,
    the way they feel to you.
[05:10] Rin
    Huh...
[05:12] Chi
    Excuse me, but is a random read
    like that really a good idea?
[05:16] Mas
    It wouldn't be good to do that all the time.
[05:19] Mas
    But when you have to do it, it can
    really bring out the actress in you.
[05:23] Mas
    Just like our lesson earlier.
[05:28] Har
    Kirika-sensei's lesson earlier...
[05:31] Har
    At the time, I didn't understand
    what kind of piece Hamlet was,
[05:34] Har
    or what kind of characters they were,
[05:37] Har
    but I feel like I was able
    to put myself into the part.
[05:41] Har
    Just play the character you feel
    the most, the way they feel to you...
SIGN    Midarezaki Hibana
SIGN    Captain.
SIGN    A hot-blooded
SIGN    high school girl who
SIGN    hates to lose.
[05:48] Har
    Maybe this one?
[05:51] Har
    What about, um... Ransaku Hibana?
[05:54] Mai
    Midarezaki Hibana. She's the main character.
[05:57] Har
    What? She's the main character?
[05:59] Mai
    She was in the trailer we just saw, remember?
[06:01] Han
    That's right.
[06:02] Han
    She's the most popular and
    gets the most screen time.
[06:04] Han
    That goes for people trying out for her, too.
[06:08] ---
    What?!
[06:09] Shiho
    A bold decision.
[06:12] Har
    B-But I did choose her myself,
    so I'll make this...
SIGN    Midarezaki Hibana
SIGN    Ultra-hot High School
[06:19] Yuz
    Of course I'll be voicing the lead.
[06:21] ---
    Huh?
[06:22] Yuu
    If she's lively, I'm the perfect fit!
[06:24] ---
    Huh?
[06:25] Ayu
    I always liked this girl.
[06:27] ---
    Huh?!
[06:29] Rik
    I don't know the series.
    Might as well go for the lead.
[06:30] Rie
    So Hibana's the main role, huh?
[06:32] Rie
    That's worthy of me.
[06:35] Mei
    Right.
[06:35] ---
    Huh?!
[06:37] Har
    So many rivals...
[06:39] Mai
    So you're going to give up
    because there's competition?
[06:42] Har
    Maika-chan?
[06:43] Mai
    I decided I want this character.
[06:45] Har
    Higuruma Tsubaki?
[06:48] Mai
    She's Hibana's teammate.
[06:50] Mai
    I've always liked this character.
[06:53] Mai
    Higuruma Style: Peerless Patriot Shot!
[06:56] Mai
    I always wanted to say her
    special move with my own voice.

    Maika-chan, okay.
[07:28] Rio
    Listen up, everyone.
[07:30] Rio
    When you step up to the mic,

[07:33] Rio

[07:47] Mai
    Thank you for having me.
[07:52] Dir

    That's right. They're all just starting out.
[07:58] Dir
    Is this going to work?
[08:01] Sak
    Kei-chan, the last group is up.
[08:05] Kei
    I fell asleep.
[08:07] Kei
    Sorry, Saki-san.
[08:08] Sak
    No need to apologize.
[08:09] Sak
    You pulled an all-nighter.
[08:12] Sak
    Would you like to keep sleeping?
[08:13] Kei
    No, we're almost done.

    Guess our characters are rivals.
[08:37] Mie
    Yes.
[08:40] Rin
    Delicious!
[08:47] Mai
    My name is Higuruma Tsubaki.
    I just joined the club!

    I'm glad to meet... oh...

[08:59] Mai
    I'm sorry!
[09:00] dir
    That's fine. Keep going.

    Calm down. Calm down.

    I just joined the club!
[09:13] Mai
    I'm glad to meet you!
[09:16] Mai
    What's going on in your head, Hibana-san?
[09:21] Mai
    Every play in Bloom Ball can be explained
    by Dr. Soryu's unified theory!
[09:28] Mai
    How?!
[09:29] Mai
    How can the unified theory not work?!
[09:32] Mai
    Here we go!

    Higuruma Style: Peerless Patriot Shot!
SIGN    Higuruma Tsubaki
SIGN    Successor of the Higuruma Style
SIGN    Bloom Ball techniques.
SIGN    A serious, model
SIGN    student type.
[09:38] Fuku
    That's quite a lively Tsubaki.
[09:41] Dir
    This is unusual.
[09:43] Dir
    Thank you, that's enough.
[09:44] Mai
    Thank you very much!
[09:48] Sak
    She was really nervous.
[10:02] Mah
    Let's meet in the finals.
    If you make it, that is.
[10:03] Rio
    Next up is... Mahoro-chan?
[10:06] Mah
    Yes?
[10:07] Rio
    To the booth you go.
[10:09] Mah
    On my way.
[10:14] Har
    Good job, Maika-chan!
[10:17] Mai
    Th-Thanks, Haruna.
[10:19] Mai
    I messed that up...
[10:20] Rio
    Don't worry about that.
[10:22] Mas
    You didn't mess up at all.
[10:26] Mah
    Just scatter and fall, for all eternity!
[10:29] Mai
    I-I can't even remember how I did.
[10:33] Har
    Maika-chan...
[10:34] Mai
    Was I really bad?
[10:36] Har
    No, not at all!
[10:40] Chi
    You stopped because of that noise,
    but I think your acting was good after that.
[10:44] Yuz
    Excellent! It was spot on!
[10:47] Mai
    Really? Really?
[10:55] Har
    I guess even Maika-chan gets that nervous.
[10:58] Mas
    Getting nervous is natural.
[11:02] Mas
    Auditioning means having
    someone harshly judge whether
[11:06] ---
    your voice acting fits a character or not.
[11:09] Mas
    No matter how much experience
    you have, you get nervous.
[11:11] Mas
    But if you can't get over that,
    you'll never get a part.
[11:15] Mas
    Being a voice actress means you always
    have to do your best and win those roles.
[11:27] Mah
    I'm done.
[11:29] Rio
    Who's ready to go next?
[11:32] Yuu

    has an unparalleled intensity.

    Oh, right.

    Bloom Ball is easy!
[12:04] Yuu
    You just throw the ball at your
    opponent as hard as you can!
[12:07] Yuu
    That's all there is to it!
[12:08] Yuu
    Get lost with your stupid theories!
[12:11] Yuu
    Thinking about it is a waste of time!

    What? I can't believe my shot didn't work!

    Done...

    So, were you nervous?
[12:49] Yuu
    Yes. I was mega nervous.
[12:52] Mih
    Oh, my. But it looked like
    you were having fun.
[12:55] Yuu
    Yeah! It was a lot of fun!
[12:57] Mif
    That's great.
[12:59] Yuu
    You just gotta go into
    these things with momentum!

[14:42] Mai
    So have you decided which
    character you're doing?
[14:46] Har
    Yeah.
[14:48] Mai
    All that agonizing, and it's still Hibana?
[14:50] Har
    Yeah.
[14:51] ---
    I read everyone's lines,
[14:53] ---
    but I still want to do Hibana's
    part how she initially felt to me.
[14:58] Mai
    Talk about taking the long way.
[15:00] Har
    Yeah...
[15:05] Rio

    I'm sorry!

    Just continue from there.

    Th-Thank you very much.
[16:27] Dir
    Wait one moment.
[16:32] Fuku
    Is something wrong?
[16:35] Sak
    It looks that way.

    Kuwai Amana?

    Excuse me, but would it be possible

    Sure.

    Everything is in the palm of my hand.
[18:07] Dir
    What about Soya Kogiku?
[18:09] Har
    Sure!
[18:10] Yuz
    Why are they having her read
    so many different parts?
[18:13] Rio
    Depending on what the judges want,
[18:15] ---
    it's not uncommon to be asked
    to do parts we didn't pick.
[18:20] Rio
    But having someone read this
    many roles is pretty rare.
[18:23] Yuz
    Wow... Getting to read all
    those roles sounds like fun!
[18:26] Mas
    Still, it's a bit of a surprise.
[18:29] Har
    Just end it all!
[18:32] Dir
    Thanks. Please wait.
[18:35] Fuku
    What do you think?
[18:36] Sak
    Well, Kei-chan?
[18:38] Kei
    Um... not quite... maybe... Yeah.
[18:42] Sak
    Is that enough?
[18:44] Kei
    Yes. No... No. Yes... Yes.
[18:48] Sak
    Looks like that's enough.
[18:50] Sak
    Sorry for all the trouble.
[18:55] Dir
    Thank you, that's all.
[18:59] Har
    Thank you very much.
[19:03] Mas
    Great job, everyone.
[19:05] Mas
    It'll be a while before we hear the results,

    but starting next week,
    we'll start our lessons in earnest.
[19:11] Rio
    We're starting on Monday
    at 4:00 PM. Don't be late!
[19:15] Rio
    All right, that's it.
[19:16] All
    Good work, everyone!
[19:23] Har
    I'm so tired.
[19:26] Har
    I wonder why they had me read
    so many different roles.
[19:30] Mai
    Good work, Haruna.
[19:34] Har
    Maika-chan.
[19:37] Mai
    Today was just one surprise after another.

    Yeah. I feel like my heart's still racing.
[19:48] Mai
    Hey, Haruna, let's talk inside.
[19:50] Mai
    I'm hungry.
[19:52] Har
    Sure.

    I could stand to calm down a bit.
[19:55] Wait
    Welcome!
[19:57] Wait
    Go ahead and sit wherever you like.
[19:58] Har
    Um...
[20:00] Mai
    Oh.
[20:01] Hon
    I think I overdid it.
[20:04] Hon
    I was too cocky.
[20:06] Shi
    That's not true.
[20:08] Mai
    Are you reflecting, too?
[20:10] Hon
    Oh, it's you two.
[20:12] Shi
    The first and the last.
[20:13] Mai
    What do you mean by that?
[20:17] Har
    So... what are you two doing here?
[20:19] Shi
    We were hungry.
[20:21] Hon
    We wanted to wind down.
[20:23] Shi
    And you?
[20:26] har
    We were hungry?
[20:28] mai
    We wanted to wind down?
[20:32] Hon
    So, the same?
[20:34] Mai
    I guess.
[20:35] Har
    Do you mind if we sit with you,
    um... Kano-san and Tsukii-san?
[20:40] Shi
    That's fine with me.
    And you can just call me Shiho.
[20:44] Hon
    And you can just call me Honoka.
[20:46] Mai
    I guess with all the excitement,
[20:49] ---
    we hadn't properly introduced
    ourselves to each other.
[20:52] Hon
    Now that you mention it...
[20:53] Shi
    Even though we were together
    the whole time, talking.
[20:56] Har
    Maika-chan and I were just saying how
    today was one surprise after another.
[21:02] Shi
    Completely agree.
[21:04] Hon
    Right? And I thought that sudden
    Hamlet lesson was a surprise!
[21:08] Mai
    I would've never expected us to get
    a real audition on top of all that.
[21:12] Han
    I was so nervous.
[21:14] Shi
    Me, too.
[21:15] Mai
    I was ready to die.
[21:17] Mai
    I mean, how well you can act with your voice
    decides whether you get the role or not.
[21:22] Han
    Oh, right.
[21:24] Han
    I guess I was so nervous,
    I didn't even realize that.
[21:29] Mai
    What are you smiling about, Haruna?
[21:32] Han
    Was I smiling?
[21:35] Mai
    Like something was really fun.
[21:36] Shi
    A smile of superiority?
[21:39] Han
    No, nothing like that...
[21:42] Han
    I was just...
[21:44] ---
    thinking that I'd really taken my
    first step forward as a voice actress.
[21:50] Hon
    Yeah! That's right!
[21:53] Shi
    True.
[21:55] Mai
    I-It's not a step, though.
[21:57] Mai
    We haven't gotten any roles yet.
[21:58] Mai
    It's more like a half
    step or a tenth of a step.
[22:02] Han
    You might be right.
[22:05] Han
    By the way, do you guys think
    my audition went okay today?
[22:10] Mai
    Yes! You of all people have to ask?
[22:13] Hon
    You're the only one who
    got to read so many parts.
[22:16] Shi
    You can be more confident, Haruna.
[22:19] Han
    I-I-I can't do that!
[23:57] voi
    Next time, "This Meeting Is Destiny."
