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.
**[07:01] Har**
Maika-chan...
**[07:02] Mai**
What are you going to do?

**[07:17] Air**
Wh-What should I do?
**[07:20] Komori**
Auditions are now open.
**[07:23] All**
Thank you!
**[07:25] Rio**
First up is...
**[07:26] Mai**
Me!
**[07:27] Rio**
Maika-chan, okay.
**[07:28] Rio**
Listen up, everyone.
**[07:30] Rio**
When you step up to the mic,
introduce yourself first.
**[07:33] Rio**
After that, they'll start recording,
so start off by stating the agency's name,
**[07:36] Rio**
your name, and the name of the
character you'll be voicing.
**[07:39] Rio**
Then you can start to read.
**[07:42] Rio**
Everyone got that?
**[07:43] All**
Yes!
**[07:47] Mai**
*Thank you for having me.*
**[07:52] Dir**
What? None of them have any experience?
**[07:55] Kom**
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.
**[08:20] Dir**
* Please state your name and*
* your character's name.*
**[08:22] Mai**
Right!
**[08:24] Mai**
I'm from AiRBLUE, and my
name is Takatori Maika.
**[08:26] Mai**
* I'm from AiRBLUE, and my*
* name is Takatori Maika.*
**[08:27] Mai**
*I'll be reading the part of Higuruma Tsubaki.*
**[08:30] Rie**
Mei, you're auditioning for this role, too.
**[08:33] Rie**
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!
**[08:50] Mai**
I'm glad to meet... oh...
**[08:54] Har**
Maika-chan...
**[08:56] Rio**
Come on... Come on!
**[08:59] Mai**
I'm sorry!
**[09:00] dir**
*That's fine. Keep going.*
**[09:02] Mai**
O-Okay!
**[09:04] Mai**
*Calm down. Calm down.*
**[09:10] Mai**
My name is Higuruma Tsubaki.
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!
**[09:33] Mai**
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**
Me! I'll go!
**[11:37] Yuu**
I'm from AiRBLUE, and my name is Tendo Yuuki.
**[11:41] Yuu**
Thank you for your time.
**[11:44] Dir**
Thank you.
**[11:45] Yuu**
*I'll be reading Midarezaki Hibana.*
**[11:48] Yuu**
I'm Midarezaki Hibana!
**[11:50] Yuu**
I don't think I've seen you before.
**[11:52] Riko**
She sure is lively.
**[11:54] Maho**
The main character Hibana
has an unparalleled intensity.
**[11:58] Ayu**
Oh, right.
**[12:02] Yuu**
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!
**[12:13] Yuu**
What? I can't believe my shot didn't work!
**[12:17] Yuu**
Surge forth! My Full Bloom Shot!
**[12:22] Dir**
Okay, thanks.
**[12:24] Yuu**
*Thank you very much!*
**[12:26] Dir**
She's certainly got spunk!
**[12:35] Har**
*The way they feel to me...*
**[12:39] Rio**
Next...
**[12:40] Ayu**
I'll go next.
**[12:44] Yuu**
Done...
**[12:46] Mih**
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!
**[13:03] Ayu**
Thank you very much.
**[13:12] Sat**
Excuse me.
**[13:15] Sat**
*I'm from AiRBLUE.*
**[13:17] Sat**
*My name is Utsugi Satori.*
**[13:19] Sat**
*I'll be reading Higuruma Tsubaki.*
**[13:21] Sat**
* My name is Higuruma Tsubaki.*
* I just joined the club.*
**[13:24] Sat**
*I'm glad to meet you.*
**[13:26] Sat**
How?
**[13:28] Sat**
How can the unified theory not work?
**[13:31] Sat**
Here we go!
**[13:32] Sat**
Higuruma Style: Peerless Patriot Shot!
**[13:35] Dir**
Okay, thank you.
**[13:37] Sat**
*Thank you very much.*
**[13:48] Shiho**
Just Rindo is fine.
**[13:50] Shiho**
I've completely analyzed their power.
**[13:54] Hono**
I'm Shobu Ayame!
**[13:56] Hono**
The game's just starting!
**[13:58] Hono**
We've got to enjoy it!
**[13:59] Kei**
Hot.
***SIGN*** Tsuwabuki Maya

**[14:34] Har**
*Surge forth! My Full Bloom Shot!*
**[14:38] Dir**
*Okay, thank you.*
**[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**
Last up is... Haruna-chan?
**[15:07] Har**
Yes!
**[15:18] Har**
*Now I'm feeling the nerves.*
**[15:21] Har**
*But...*
**[15:23] ---**
*I'm just going to do it my way.*
**[15:28] Har**
I'm from AiRBLUE, and my
name is Mutsuishi Haruna.
**[15:31] Har**
*I'll be reading Midarezaki Hibana.*
**[15:34] Har**
I'm Midarezaki Hibana!
**[15:38] Har**
I don't think I've seen you before.
**[15:40] Har**
Bloom Ball is easy!
**[15:43] Har**
You just throw the ball at your
opponent as hard as you can!
**[15:45] Har**
That's all there is to it!
**[15:46] Har**
Get lost with your stupid theories!
**[15:49] Har**
Thinking about it is a waste of time!
**[15:51] Har**
What? I can't believe my shot didn't work!
**[15:56] Har**
Surge forth! My Full Bloom Shot!
**[16:05] Har**
I'm sorry!
**[16:07] Dir**
*Just continue from there.*
**[16:09] Har**
Okay!
**[16:10] Har**
Surge forth! My Full Bloom Shot!
**[16:19] Dir**
*Okay.*
**[16:21] Har**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[16:27] Dir**
*Wait one moment.*
**[16:32] Fuku**
Is something wrong?
**[16:35] Sak**
It looks that way.
**[16:38] Sak**
Kei-chan?
**[16:40] Kei**
I don't... But someone...
**[16:43] Kei**
Like... Sumire? No...
**[16:48] Kei**
Maybe Amana?
**[16:51] Sak**
Kuwai Amana?
**[16:53] Kei**
Yeah. I want to hear that.
**[16:55] Sak**
Excuse me, but would it be possible
for her to read Kuwai Amana's lines?
**[17:01] Dir**
Sure.
**[17:03] Dir**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[17:04] Dir**
Um, Mutsuishi-san,
**[17:07] ---**
* I know this isn't part of the plan,*
* but can you read Kuwai Amana?*
**[17:09] Har**
Oh, sure!
**[17:11] Har**
Um...
**[17:14] Har**
I can do it!
**[17:15] Har**
Kuwai Amana.
**[17:17] Har**
* I'm Mutsuishi Haruna,*
* and I'll be reading Kuwai Amana.*
***SIGN*** Kuwai Amana

**[17:22] Har**
I am the absolutely perfect Amana.
**[17:25] Har**
There's no way you can get past me.
**[17:28] Har**
Even with my eyes closed,
I can tell where you're aiming.
**[17:33] Har**
Gah! Why?! Why did that shot go there?!
**[17:36] Har**
Impossible!
**[17:38] Har**
My absolutely perfect...
wall... it's crumbling...
**[17:43] Dir**
*Thank you.*
**[17:45] Dir**
*Just a minute.*
**[17:47] Har**
Okay.
**[17:52] Dir**
*Can you do Tsuwabuki Maya?*
**[17:54] Har**
Huh? Uh, sure.
***SIGN*** Tsuwabuki Maya

**[17:58] Har**
I'll read Tsuwabuki Maya.
**[18:00] Har**
Maya is Maya! And there's only one Maya!
**[18:04] Har**
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,
**[19:07] Mas**
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.
**[19:41] Har**
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.
**[19:53] Har**
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**
