anime-chans
**[00:44] N**
* A beautiful nation,*
* prospering since ancient times,*
**[00:50] ---**
*Japan is now known as the Anime Kingdom.*
**[00:55] N**
* There are more than just humans living*

**[01:17] N**
*And there.*
**[01:18] N**
*Even in Harajuku.*
**[01:20] N**
*Maybe even in the Ashigara mountains.*
**[01:24] N**
*By some chance, we'll open that door.*

*And we might get to meet the anime-chans.*
**[01:34] N**

***SIGN*** Narration: Shinomiya Joe
**[03:02] Jojo**
Hi, everyone, I'm Jojo,
fairy of the forest.
**[03:05] N**
See, past the Fairy Ring is the fairy world.
***SIGN*** Fairy Ring
Phenomenon where mushrooms sprout in rings. The ring stands up,
forming a permanent gate between the human world and fairy world.
**[03:10] N**
Let's go meet the mushroom fairies.
**[03:13] N**
You've all heard of Maitake, right?
**[03:16] N**
It's the delicious mushroom that
goes well in tempura and hot pot.
**[03:22] N**
It's not just delicious; it's good
for dieting and treating colds.
**[03:26] N**
It's known for being a healthy food.
***SIGN*** Maitake
**[03:29] N**
We're all familiar with maitake now,
but the maitake we eat are farmed artificially.
**[03:38] N**
Back when the technology didn't exist,
natural maitake were hard to come by.
**[03:44] N**
They say that people who found maitake
in the mountains would dance in delight.
**[03:48] N**
Apparently, the "mai" in "maitake"
comes from "mai" as in dancing.
**[03:54] N**
Now, let's go find a maitake fairy.
***SIGN*** Mushroom fairies are called Kinokonoko.
**[04:01] N**
Hello.
**[04:05] N**
Nice to meet you.
**[04:06] N**
You're Mizunara Mai-chan,
the maitake fairy, right?
***SIGN*** Mizunara Mai
Voice: Hiratsuka Hina
**[04:12] N**
I'm Jojo, fairy of the forest.
**[04:14] N**
I'm not here to cause trouble.
**[04:19] N**
Hey, wait up.
**[04:23] Yellow**
Hey, have you heard?
**[04:25] Pink**
What?
**[04:26] Yellow**
There's a lot of bats in the human
world right now, apparently.
**[04:29] Pink**
Bats?
**[04:30] Yellow**
Yeah.
**[04:31] Yellow**
Bats are kind of creepy, don't you think?
***SIGN*** They're really curious about the human world
**[04:34] Pink**
They are.
**[04:36] Pink**
I don't even know if
they're birds or mammals.
**[04:38] Yellow**
And they're always in the dark.
**[04:40] Pink**
And they make me think of Dracula.
**[04:42] Yellow**
I know.
**[04:43] Yellow**
They're scary, huh?
**[04:45] Pink**
Why are there more bats these days?
**[04:47] Yellow**
I don't know, but...
**[04:54] A**
Okay, let's play *shiritori*.
**[04:56] B**
Sure.
**[04:57] A**
Okay.
**[04:58] A**
I'm playing to win.
**[04:59] A**
Okay, let's start with "me."

You can do "su," too.
**[05:21] B**

**[05:21] B**
Suika *(watermelon)*.

**[05:24] A**

Koma...
**[05:53] B**
Ma...
**[05:55] ---**
Ma, ma, ma...
**[05:56] B**
Wait.
**[05:58] B**
I can't think of any.
**[05:59] ---**
Ma...
**[06:00] ---**
Ma, ma, ma...
**[06:02] ---**
Ma, ma...
**[06:04] B**

**[06:05] ---**
Mama?
**[06:06] ---**
Mama...
**[06:07] A**
Ma, huh?
**[06:08] ---**
Ma.
**[06:10] B**
Ma?
**[06:11] A**
Ma.
**[06:12] A**
Is there any?
**[06:13] B**
Maybe not.
***SIGN*** Stand by while we complete the shiritori.
**[06:21] ---**
Ma...

Well done.
***SIGN*** Yamadori B. Porcini
Voice: Iwasaki Haruka
***SIGN*** Amanita Muscaria
Voice: Nakano Aimi
**[07:05] Muscaria**
Thank you.
**[07:06] Muscaria**
So, why are we acting like you're
the teacher and I'm your student?
***SIGN*** In the middle of dance practice
**[07:12] Porcini**
I've got more skills.
**[07:15] Muscaria**
I'm not bad, either.
**[07:19] Porcini**
What's wrong?
**[07:21] Muscaria**
It seemed like someone's here.
**[07:24] Porcini**
It's probably just the wind.
**[07:26] Muscaria**
I don't know.
**[07:28] N**
Hey, Muscaria, Porcini.
**[07:32] N**
Jojo.
**[07:33] N**
Don't scare me.
**[07:35] N**
Sorry.
**[07:36] Porcini**
Oh, it's just Jojo.
**[07:38] N**
Huh?
**[07:39] N**
So I guess it was Jojo that
you saw earlier, Muscaria.
**[07:42] Muscaria**
No, it wasn't Jojo.
**[07:45] N**
What are you talking about?
**[07:46] Porcini**
She said she saw someone over there.
**[07:49] N**
Maybe it was Mai-chan.
**[07:53] Porcini**
Mai-chan?
**[07:54] N**
She's one of your kind.
**[07:56] N**
Mai-chan, the mushroom girl.
**[07:59] Porcini**
Oh, the mysterious?
**[08:00] N**
Mysterious?
**[08:02] Porcini**
Mizunara Mai-chan's in the same grade as us,
but she hasn't been showing up at school.
**[08:08] Porcini**
No one's met her before.
**[08:10] Porcini**
So we've been calling her
the Mysterious Mai-chan.
**[08:12] N**
Oh, yeah?
**[08:14] Muscaria**
Jojo, did you actually meet Mai-chan?
**[08:17] N**
Yeah, in the forest, earlier.
**[08:19] Porcini**
What? Really?
**[08:21] N**
Yeah.
**[08:22] N**
I said "Hi," but she just ran away.
**[08:27] Yellow**
So those bats are always in their room.
**[08:31] Pink**
In their room?
**[08:33] Pink**
Don't you mean inside a cave?
**[08:35] Yellow**
No, no.
**[08:35] Yellow**
I heard they live inside people's houses.
**[08:38] Pink**
Those are some weird bats.
**[08:39] Yellow**
And it looks really gross,
too, like a Japanese toad.
**[08:44] Pink**
Eww, that's gross.
**[08:46] Yellow**
I know, right?
**[08:47] Yellow**
That's why they're called "hikikoumori."
**[08:54] Pink**
Wait a second, are you sure
that isn't "hikikomori"?
**[09:01] Yellow**
Hikikomori?
**[09:04] Pink**
A hikikomori is a shut-in who stays inside
all the time, and never comes out.
**[09:09] Pink**
I heard there are a lot of people
like that in the human world lately.
**[09:13] Yellow**
Oh, really?
**[09:15] Yellow**
They're not bats?
**[09:17] Pink**
Jeez.
**[09:19] Pink**
You never pay attention.
**[09:22] Porcini**
Mai-chan was dancing?
**[09:24] N**
Yeah.
**[09:24] N**
She was really good.
**[09:27] Porcini**
Of course.
**[09:28] Porcini**
Her name has "mau" as in "dancing" in it.
**[09:31] Porcini**
She was born with dancing talent.
**[09:34] Muscaria**
I wonder if she'll join us, then.
**[09:36] N**
I don't know.
***SIGN*** They're looking for members for their dance team
**[09:38] N**
She didn't seem like she would open up to us.
**[09:41] Porcini**
Maybe she'll come out to join us,
if she sees us having fun dancing.
**[09:47] Muscaria**
She probably wouldn't have become a shut-in
to begin with, if she was that forward.
**[09:50] Porcini**
I guess.
**[09:54] N**
I know!
**[09:55] N**
How about this?
**[09:57] Porcini**
Huh?
**[09:58] N**
Hear me out...
**[10:05] Porcini**
Okay, Muscaria, let's get back to practice.
**[10:08] Muscaria**
Yes, let's continue.
**[10:11] Porcini**
Ready, and...
**[10:17] Porcini**
Wait, wait.
**[10:19] Porcini**
That's totally wrong, Muscaria.
**[10:32] Muscaria**
I'm not even good at dancing.
**[10:37] Muscaria**
I can't keep up with her.
**[10:41] Muscaria**
I'm never going to become an idol.
***SIGN*** This kinokonoko seems to want to become an idol.
**[10:49] Mai**
Muscaria.
**[10:52] Mai**
Do you remember me?
**[10:54] Muscaria**
Mai-chan?
**[10:57] Muscaria**
Why are you here?
**[10:59] Mai**
What about you, Muscaria?
**[11:02] Muscaria**
I have a dance team with my friends.
**[11:06] Muscaria**
But I can't do it.
**[11:08] Muscaria**
I can't dance at all.
**[11:10] Mai**
That's not true.
**[11:13] Mai**
I saw you.
**[11:14] Mai**
You were dancing really well.
**[11:16] Muscaria**
You're lying.
**[11:17] Muscaria**
I'm not...
**[11:18] Muscaria**
I'm not...
**[11:23] Mai**
Don't worry about how well you can dance.
**[11:25] Mai**
Dancing is all about
doing what you feel like.
**[11:31] Mai**
You should dance, too, Muscaria.
**[11:34] Muscaria**
But...
**[11:35] Mai**
I was that way, too.
**[11:37] Muscaria**
You were?
**[11:38] Muscaria**
But you're a good dancer.
**[11:41] Mai**
When people tell me I'm a good
dancer, I feel pressured.
**[11:45] Mai**
I get scared of dancing in front of others.
**[11:47] Mai**
I become afraid of what people think.
**[11:50] Muscaria**
I never knew.
**[11:52] Mai**
But I know, now.
**[11:54] Mai**
You don't have to care what anyone
else thinks when you dance.
**[11:57] Mai**
Come on, let's dance.
**[12:04] N**
I wonder if Muscaria pulled it off.
**[12:06] Porcini**
I'm sure she did.
**[12:08] Porcini**
She's a tacky actor, but there's something
about her that brings people on her side.
**[12:13] N**
Huh...
**[12:15] Porcini**
I'm sure Mai-chan will open up to Muscaria.
**[12:18] Porcini**
See?
**[12:20] Muscaria**
Porcini.
**[12:21] Muscaria**
Mai-chan said she'll join us!
**[12:24] Porcini**
Buon giorno, Mai-chan.
**[12:26] Porcini**
Long time no see.
**[12:27] Mai**
Th-Thank you.
**[12:31] Porcini**
So what about you, Muscaria?
**[12:34] Muscaria**
Me?
**[12:36] Muscaria**
So I've been bummed out about
not being able to dance,
**[12:40] Muscaria**
but Mai-chan cheered me up,
and I feel all better now.
**[12:44] Muscaria**
Tee-hee.
**[12:46] Mai**
Thanks, Muscaria.
**[12:49] N**
All right, that's five of you, now.
**[12:51] Muscaria**
Five?
**[12:53] N**
Forest Fairy Five.
**[12:55] N**
FFF is born!
**[12:58] Muscaria**
All right, let's go.
**[13:00] Muscaria**
Forest Fairy Five.
