# Frankenstein Family
Tanisu's parents are mad scientists who live outside of normal society. They locked up their own children up on an isolated island and did experiments on them in secret, turning Tanisu's older brother and three older sisters into strange creatures. One day, their parents were arrested, and the siblings were moved to another island by the welfare office.
The trouble is that none of the siblings except Tanisu know how to interact in modern day society...

It was cute.
**[00:31] ---**
I'm the protagonist.
**[00:33] ---**
I am!
**[00:33] ---**
No, I am.
**[00:34] ---**
It's me.
**[00:34] ---**
This is weird! It's weird!
It's weird! It's me!
**[00:37] ---**
I'm the oldest sister.
**[00:38] ---**
We're siblings, so this is important...

**[03:07] tani**
All done for the day!
**[03:12] tani**
I'm back!
**[03:27] sno**
There we go.
**[03:29] tan**
Thanks, Snow-niisan.
**[03:32] tan**
We're back!
**[03:43] ai**
Hey, I'm starved! What're we eating?
**[03:48] sui**
Sweet-and-sour pork today.
**[03:50] tan**
Stop reading my mind, Suishi-neesan!
**[03:56] ai**
I don't need vegetables. Make it all meat.
**[03:59] tan**
Ashisu-neesan?
**[04:05] ashi**
Today's sunlight tastes like strawberries!
**[04:08] tan**
That's not what I was asking...
**[04:11] tan**
Hold on. I'll get it ready soon.
**[04:16] tan**
*Mom and Dad were arrested.*
**[04:19] tan**
*They're what you'd call mad scientists.*
**[04:21] tan**
* They considered their kids*
* to be human guinea pigs.*
**[04:25] tan**
*I was the one exception.*
**[04:28] (Flashback) mom**
We're doing photosynthesis tests.
**[04:29] (Flashback) mom**
From now on, you're only
allowed to drink water.
**[04:32] (Flashback) ashi**
Okay!
**[04:32] (Flashback) mom**
Tanisu, it's time for your studies.
**[04:34] (Flashback) tan**
'Kay.
**[04:39] (Flashback) mom**
Aisuri, when you're done
with that, it's time to hunt.
**[04:42] (Flashback) ai**
Got it!
**[04:43] (Flashback) mom**
Tanisu, your tutor is here.
**[04:46] (Flashback) tan**
'Kay!
**[04:49] (Flashback) mom**
Stand! Become human!
**[04:52] (Flashback) mom**
Too slow.
**[04:53] (Flashback) mom**
Tanisu, it's time for your studies.
**[04:55] (Flashback) ---**
'Kay!
**[05:01] (Flashback) mom**
Put it on. Tell me if you hear anything.
**[05:06] (Flashback) mom**
Tanisu, go to bed now.
**[05:09] tan**
*I didn't realize it until they got arrested,*
**[05:11] tan**
*but keeping a household is hard...*
**[05:14] tan**
What is that?
**[05:15] ai**
I see you!
**[05:32] ai**
You're not going anywhere!
**[05:56] ashi**
She's quite the tomboy, isn't she?
**[05:58] tan**
I bought all this stuff for us...
**[06:01] ashi**
I'll see what that was.
**[06:13] tan**
*Nothing ever seems to go right...*
**[06:20] tan**
Well, should we go out for dinner?
**[06:28] ai**
What'll we get? Cockroaches? Cicadas?
**[06:30] tan**
I don't think we can eat that stuff.
**[06:36] ashi**
Don't worry about me. I only
need sunlight and water!
**[06:42] sui**
I'll pass, too.
**[06:45] tan**
Really?
**[06:48] sui**
It's noisy outside.
**[06:49] snow**
C-Come on, there's no sunlight
at night, and Aisuri needs...
**[06:56] snow**
Forget it, I guess.
**[06:57] tan**
Just follow me.
**[07:01] girl**
*Today, famous animation director Miyada*
**[07:04] girl**
* reneged on the retirement*

**[07:08] tan**
*Let's just see how it turns out.*
**[07:10] tan**
* I'd prefer not to have to*
* use this medicine again...*
**[07:14] girl**
*Now for our next story.*

**[07:55] shop**
Thank you for coming.
**[07:57] shop**
How many?
**[07:59] tan**
Five, please!
**[08:01] wait**
Here's your tea.
**[08:05] snow**
What's this about?
**[08:07] tan**
You use it to wash your cup
before you drink your tea.
**[08:13] tan**
Like this.
**[08:23] sui**
Aisuri-neesan is thinking, "What a pain."
**[08:27] ai**
You're thinking it, too, I bet!
**[08:34] tan**
That's how you show gratitude to the staff.
**[08:39] tan**
Now I'm going to order our food.
**[08:42] tan**
Put a mark next to the name
of the food you want to eat...
**[08:52] tan**
And we're done!
**[08:53] ai**
Look at you, grinning like a fool!
**[08:54] ai**
We ain't even eaten yet.
**[08:59] ashi**
You really must love this restaurant.
**[09:03] ashi**
Tani-chan?
**[09:05] tan**
It's just...
**[09:06] tan**
This is our first time...
**[09:09] tan**
Eating together like a normal family...
**[09:30] ai**
So what?
**[09:32] tan**
It was kind of a dream of mine...
**[09:39] man**
Here you are.
**[09:40] tan**
Here it is!
**[09:47] tan**
Let's eat it before it gets cold!
**[09:53] man**
Wh-Where did this dog come from?
**[09:58] tan**
I'm sorry! Forgive me!
**[09:59] ashi**
Stop that, pup!
**[10:16] ashi**
Hot, hot, hot!
**[10:19] man**
What's with those people? So loud...
**[10:22] tan**
If it's hot, you should use the chopsticks.
**[10:25] tan**
Hey, don't spit on it!
**[10:27] ai**
Shut up!
**[10:30] tan**
Ashisu-neesan, you try some, too.
**[10:33] ashi**
No, thank you.
**[10:36] tan**
Hey...
**[10:38] tan**
Suishi-neesa—
**[10:40] sui**
I'll pass.
**[10:49] all**
So annoying...
**[10:51] all**
That makes me sick.
**[10:54] all**
Annoying.
**[10:55] all**
Who are those people?
**[10:57] all**
They're freaking me out.
**[10:59] all**
I hope they'll leave soon.
**[11:06] all**
Annoying.
**[11:07] all**
Annoying.
**[11:07] all**
I wish they'd just leave.
**[11:09] all**
They don't fit in.
**[11:10] all**
They're filthy.
**[11:11] all**
They're gross.
**[11:12] all**
I wish they'd disappear.
**[11:18] tan**
That's enough!
**[11:21] tan**
We're not in the lab anymore!
**[11:23] tan**
We have to live like normal people!
**[11:26] tan**
We have no one to rely on.
We don't have much money.
**[11:30] tan**
But you won't even try to
learn how to be normal!
**[11:33] tan**
If you don't change, you'll—
**[11:38] ai**
We'll what?
**[11:40] ai**
All you do is complain all damn day.
**[11:46] ai**
We ain't normal.
**[11:49] ai**
What's the matter with that?
**[11:50] ai**
Why do we gotta be your idea of "normal"?
**[11:57] ai**
What even *is* your idea of "normal"?
**[12:11] tan**
It's...
**[12:18] (Flashback) man**
You've never been out of here?
**[12:22] (Flashback) man**
The outside world is...
**[12:25] tan**
Ever since that day, I realized I wanted
to live in the outside world with you all.
**[12:33] tan**
But in the end,
maybe I was just being selfish.
**[12:46] tan**
Snow-niisan. Ashisu-neesan!
**[12:48] ai**
Hey, you dumb mutt!
**[12:51] snow**
My dog side doesn't handle
this atmosphere well,
**[12:54] snow**
and I've always wanted to try chopsticks...
**[12:57] ashi**
This is much harder than I imagined it to be!
**[13:00] snow**
Tanisu does it so well...
**[13:05] tan**
You'll pick it up right away with practice.
**[13:07] tan**
See?
**[13:10] tan**
* No matter what life we try to make,*
* we'll never stop being who we are.*
**[13:14] tan**
Here. For you, too, Aisuri-neesan.
**[13:25] ai**
What're you staring at? Got a problem?!
**[13:29] tan**
No, everyone just go on and eat!
**[13:38] all**
Delicious!
**[13:42] ai**
Would you like one of my mushrooms?
**[13:45] ai**
Bring another round!
**[13:47] ai**
Fill up the plates!
**[13:51] tan**
Can't you slow down?
**[13:52] sui**
"If someone makes trouble again,
this will be our last time eating out,"
**[13:56] sui**
Tanisu thinks.
**[13:58] ai**
Who do you mean?
**[14:00] tan**
I wasn't thinking that.
**[14:02] tan**
I'm having fun being here with everyone.
**[14:04] tan**
Suishi-neesan, please don't ruin this!
**[14:09] ashi**
I really do think it's poor manners,
**[14:11] ashi**
so you should hold the
chopsticks with one hand.
**[14:13] ashi**
See? Like this?
**[14:15] ai**
I get it, okay?
**[14:23] tani**
The truth is, there's also
a thing called a fork...
**[14:27] tani**
You use it like this.
**[14:30] ai**
You oughta show me that crap from the start!
**[14:39] waiter**
Thank you for coming.
**[14:45] cus**
Those people were pretty amazing, huh?
**[14:47] cus**
Yeah, all in cosplay and
doing sleight-of-hand!
**[15:01] snow**
What's the matter?
**[15:23] ai**
What's with you?
**[15:25] ai**
Was it so expensive it's making you cry?
**[15:27] tan**
It's nothing.
**[15:33] sui**
Tanisu...
**[15:34] tan**
I was just remembering some things.
**[15:37] tan**
*It's tough having such an eccentric family,*
**[15:39] tan**
* but as long as we're*
* together, we'll work it out.*
**[15:41] tan**
*After all, we're family!*
***SIGN*** Frankenstein Extras
**[16:18] ---**
*Frankenstein Extras!*
**[16:21] ---**
*Today's theme is...*
***SIGN*** Today's theme is...
**[16:25] ---**
If you were going to be modified,
what power would you want?
**[16:30] ---**
No limits on that question, huh?
**[16:32] ---**
That's right!
**[16:34] ---**
What power would I want?
**[16:35] ---**
Well?
**[16:37] ---**
The minute I saw the question,
something came to mind.
***SIGN*** Aisuri Mori Nanako
***SIGN*** Suishi Ikuta Yoshiko
***SIGN*** Tanisu Sugiyama Riho
**[16:40] ---**
If I could have just one wish...
**[16:44] ---**
I'd want to be a boy.
**[16:47] ---**
What? Is that a power?
**[16:48] ---**
It is!
**[16:48] ---**
It's about modification, right?
**[16:50] ---**
Like how Snow-niisan can
become a dog, you know?
**[16:52] ---**
I want to become a boy.
**[16:54] ---**
My feelings for boys transcends "like".
**[16:57] ---**
I like boys.
**[16:58] ---**
I like boys.
**[16:59] ---**
Like.
**[16:59] ---**
Like.
**[17:00] ---**
Want to be one!
**[17:01] ---**
You?
**[17:01] ---**
Yes, I want to be one!
**[17:03] ---**
You don't just want to dote on them?
**[17:04] ---**
I want to dote on them,
yes, and take care of them.
**[17:07] ---**
But it surpasses that into wanting to be one.
**[17:10] ---**
I see!
**[17:12] ---**
If that had been the last one we said,
that would have been a great punchline.
**[17:16] ---**
But when you start with that,
nothing we say will be interesting.
**[17:21] ---**
Not as funny.
**[17:22] ---**
Why?!
**[17:23] ---**
I voice a lot of boys.
**[17:25] ---**
I voice a lot of boy characters,
**[17:28] ---**
so I observe a lot of boys.
**[17:30] ---**
Like a stalker?
**[17:32] ---**
Like normal. Very quietly.
**[17:34] ---**
I sit around in parks and watch boys playing.
**[17:38] ---**
Isn't that creepy?
**[17:39] ---**
It's not creepy! I just people watch.
**[17:41] ---**
Don't the mothers think, "What's with her?"
**[17:42] ---**
It's fine!
**[17:43] ---**
For example.
**[17:44] ---**
This is just an example.
**[17:45] ---**
You're in the park sitting on a bench.
**[17:48] ---**
If a cat walks by, you watch 'em.
**[17:50] ---**
You're thinkin' "Oh, how cute, how cute."
**[17:52] ---**
'cause it's a cat.
**[17:53] ---**
Same with dogs.
**[17:55] ---**
It's kinda like that.
***SIGN*** Inexplicable Kansai Accent
**[17:59] ---**
Wait a minute, don't the moms...
**[18:02] ---**
Miho-chan, are you a psychopath?
**[18:03] ---**
No, I'm not! It's normal!
**[18:05] ---**
The boy characters I play experience
fun and joy all the time,
**[18:10] ---**
but the joy experienced
by boys in real life,
**[18:14] ---**
like when they're playing
on a jungle gym and such...
**[18:16] ---**
I don't think I could really get
the feel of it unless I became one.
**[18:22] ---**
So I'd like to be one if I could.
**[18:24] ---**
Because I'm playing boy roles.
**[18:25] ---**
Incidentally, what kind of boy would you be?
**[18:28] ---**
Um... Ah... Er...
**[18:32] ---**
Hmm...
**[18:32] ---**
Is it that hard a decision?
**[18:34] ---**
I'm really not sure.
**[18:35] ---**
I like very quiet little boys.
**[18:38] ---**
Oops, I said little boys.
**[18:39] ---**
I like cheerful, mischievous,
innocent little boys.
**[18:44] ---**
And I like pure little boys like Tanisu.
**[18:47] ---**
Please stop saying "little boys."
**[18:49] ---**
Sorry!
**[18:50] ---**
I love beautiful boys, too.
**[18:52] ---**
I see.
**[18:53] ---**
But what kind of boy I'd
be is a tricky question.
**[18:55] ---**
See, there's characters you like.
**[18:57] ---**
You don't quite want to *be*
the character you like.
**[19:02] ---**
You want to become a character
a little different from that.
**[19:04] ---**
I really am a daydreamer.
**[19:05] ---**
But you want to be a boy?
**[19:07] ---**
I want to be a boy, so just having
that ability would be great.
**[19:11] ---**
Is that why you're good at playing boys?
**[19:13] ---**
But I want to be one...
**[19:15] ---**
So being able to play Tanisu makes me happy.
**[19:21] ---**
I'm happy for you!
**[19:23] ---**
I love it. It's so much fun.
**[19:25] ---**
Please enjoy Sugiyama's
wholehearted boy acting.
**[19:29] ---**
I hope you enjoy it.
**[19:29] ---**
It seems like everyone really enjoys it.
**[19:32] ---**
It's fun. I really do love Tanisu.
**[19:35] ---**
But this segment isn't about
asking people to dote on boys...
**[19:38] ---**
Oh, right.
**[19:39] ---**
That's right. "What would you want
to be if you were modified?"
**[19:42] ---**
Right, I got off-topic.
**[19:45] ---**
I get that you'd want to
be modified into a boy.
**[19:47] ---**
Yes, a boy.
**[19:49] ---**
Was it too powerful? Too powerful?
***SIGN*** If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
**[19:52] ---**
I would want... let's see.
**[19:55] ---**
I would really want the
power to sleep anywhere.
**[20:00] ---**
You can't sleep anywhere?
**[20:01] ---**
Well, you know... people who can
sleep in a moving vehicle and such?
**[20:07] ---**
I really admire them.
**[20:09] ---**
You can't do that?
**[20:10] ---**
I can't sleep like that at all.
**[20:13] ---**
So if you have an event in Osaka,
you can't sleep on the train?
**[20:15] ---**
I can sleep there!
**[20:16] ---**
You can?
**[20:18] ---**
You mean more like short naps?
**[20:20] ---**
Yes, short naps.
**[20:21] ---**
How long do you need to get to sleep, then?
**[20:27] ---**
I need about an hour to get to sleep.
**[20:30] ---**
There are people who can fall
asleep anywhere, you know?
**[20:32] ---**
I can sleep anywhere.
**[20:35] ---**
You have what I want!
**[20:37] ---**
I really can sleep anywhere.
**[20:39] ---**
You can?
**[20:40] ---**
With just a ten minute
break, I'm fast asleep.
**[20:43] ---**
I sleep so hard I'm drooling.
**[20:44] ---**
Really? I wish I could do that.
**[20:46] ---**
I think more people have
that ability than not.
**[20:50] ---**
You're delicate.
**[20:51] ---**
I'm very delicate.
**[20:52] ---**
I work here in this location in the morning.
**[20:57] ---**
Then I go to the next location.
**[21:00] ---**
It tires me out.
**[21:02] ---**
If I could just get a nap in then.
**[21:04] ---**
It's really refreshing.
**[21:05] ---**
Very refreshing.
**[21:08] ---**
I understand how you feel.
**[21:11] ---**
That's too bad.
**[21:12] ---**
It's harder than you'd think.
**[21:13] ---**
Annoying, right? We work for so long.
**[21:15] ---**
It's very hard when you have
multiple jobs in one day.
**[21:17] ---**
It's really exhausting if you have a lot of
recordings where you really need to focus.
**[21:21] ---**
And I don't sleep well.
**[21:23] ---**
Wow.
**[21:24] ---**
You need sleep powers.
**[21:27] ---**
I don't need modification. I need health.
**[21:29] ---**
"Health" sounds a little...
**[21:32] ---**
I want health.
**[21:36] ---**
I'd want a modification that lets me
eat all I like and not gain weight.
***SIGN*** If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
**[21:39] ---**
Yeah, totally!
**[21:41] ---**
The ultimate request.
**[21:44] ---**
I love eating, but I put
on weight very easily.
**[21:49] ---**
I put on weight so fast. I just balloon up.
**[21:52] ---**
Depending on how much you eat?
**[21:53] ---**
I have a catchphrase: My hobby is dieting,
my special skill is the rebound.
**[21:58] ---**
That's so funny. That's too funny!
**[22:02] ---**
I always say that when I introduce myself,
but I'd like to not say it anymore.
**[22:07] ---**
No more diets.
**[22:09] ---**
"I can't put on weight, it's so much trouble."
**[22:12] ---**
"I can't put on weight,
no matter how much I eat.."
**[22:15] ---**
I've always wanted to say that.
**[22:17] ---**
Then you'll get punched.
**[22:19] ---**
But there are some girls so thin they
want to put on weight, you know?
**[22:23] ---**
There are!
**[22:24] ---**
They have that metabolism.
**[22:24] ---**
I wish I could be that way.
**[22:27] ---**
I think all girls want to be that way.
**[22:30] ---**
If a modification could do
that, it's what I'd want.
**[22:31] ---**
True.
**[22:32] ---**
We're so basic.
**[22:35] ---**
So very basic.
**[22:37] ---**
That's too practical.
**[22:39] ---**
There are lots of abilities out there,
**[22:43] ---**
and a lot of them would be great,
and you'd like to have them,
**[22:46] ---**
but they also come with
problems of their own.
**[22:48] ---**
Yeah, they do.
**[22:50] ---**
So I think it's best to do your
best with what you have.
**[22:54] ---**
You sound like a textbook.
**[22:57] ---**
It's best to do what you
can with what you have.
**[23:00] ---**
Well said.
**[23:02] ---**
Let's all do our best with what we have.

**[02:43] (Flashback) tan**
Miss!
**[02:45] (Flashback) tan**
What's the next problem?
**[02:50] (Flashback) teach**
I'm sorry. I can't take any more!
**[02:53] (Flashback) mom**
It's all right.
**[02:55] (Flashback) dad**
That's my son. He's a genius.
**[02:57] (Flashback) dad**
Superior to all the others.
**[02:59] (Flashback) mom**
He's not just yours. He's *ours*, remember?
**[03:03] (Flashback) dad**
Of course.
**[03:08] (Flashback) dad**
This way!
**[03:11] (Flashback) tan**
Papa, how come no one else has to study?
**[03:15] (Flashback) dad**
Their bodies have been modified
to give them special abilities.
**[03:19] (Flashback) dad**
But to the same degree, I can't expect
much from them in the way of brains.
**[03:22] (Flashback) dad**
At least not compared to you.
**[03:24] (Flashback) dad**
Great one!
**[03:27] (Flashback) dad**
This way!
**[03:30] (Flashback) mom**
Tanisu, what would you like for dinner?
**[03:33] (Flashback) tan**
Um... I want to try milk pudding!
**[03:36] (Flashback) tan**
I read about it in a book.
**[03:40] (Flashback) mom**
All right.
**[03:41] (Flashback) mom**
Then I'll create you my
extra-special milk pudding.
**[03:45] (Flashback) tan**
Make some for them, too!
**[03:47] (Flashback) dad**
We can't, Tanisu.
**[03:49] (Flashback) dad**
They're still in the middle
of their experiment.
**[03:52] (Flashback) dad**
We don't want to tamper with the data.
**[03:55] (Flashback) dad**
Now, return to your studies.
**[04:02] tan**
Sis! How many times have I told you not
to leave the house without permission?
**[04:07] aisu**
You sure like to tell me
what to do, don't ya?
**[04:10] aisu**
I don't take orders from some snot-nosed
brat who can't even hunt by himself!
**[04:19] tan**
If you want to go out that bad,
you have to take this medicine first!
**[04:25] aisu**
I ain't taking that weird medicine...
**[04:30] aisu**
No way!
**[04:33] ai**
"Be a normal human."
**[04:35] ai**
"Don't go outside."
**[04:37] ai**
I've had enough of your crap.
**[04:39] tan**
I'm telling you this for your own sake.
**[04:42] tan**
If we're not careful, something
terrible will happen some day.
**[04:46] tan**
I'm the only member of this family
who understands the rules of society.
**[04:50] tan**
I've been outside, and interacted
with all kinds of people.
**[04:53] tan**
I'm also a lot smarter than you...
**[04:56] tan**
And I do all the housework all by myself.
**[05:00] tan**
If you want to live your lives in peace,
you should do what I tell you to.
**[05:05] ashi**
Tani-chan, we really appreciate it!
**[05:08] ai**
Hey!
**[05:10] snow**
Tanisu does have a point.
**[05:15] sui**
It's true that Tanisu is more
intelligent than we are.
**[05:18] sui**
We should do as he says,
and leave everything to him.
**[05:26] ai**
Dammit!
**[05:28] ai**
You'd better do all the house crap perfectly!
**[05:30] ai**
'Cause I'm gonna behave.
**[05:36] tan**
Fine.
**[05:37] tan**
I'll do just as you say.
**[05:39] tan**
I'm gonna go shopping.
**[05:41] tan**
You all wait here.
**[05:44] snow**
Wait! I'll go with you.
**[05:47] ai**
No way! Make him do it all himself!
**[05:58] snow**
You think Tanisu is okay?
**[06:02] ashi**
The blessings of the sun!
**[06:38] shop**
Here you are.
**[06:38] sumi**
Um, I didn't buy that, though.
**[06:45] shop**
I added it in a bonus,
because it's so hot out.
**[06:51] sumi**
Thanks!
**[07:05] sumi**
Not gonna buy one?
**[07:06] tan**
Um... Well...
**[07:09] tan**
Er...
**[07:16] sumi**
You can have this!
**[07:18] tan**
It's fine! Um, I couldn't take that.
**[07:22] sumi**
It's okay. I got it for free.
**[07:29] sumi**
Say, "Ah!"
**[07:33] sumi**
Ah!
**[07:37] tan**
Ah...
**[07:47] tan**
It's delicious.
**[07:51] sumi**
Of course it is!
**[07:55] sumi**
Here.
**[08:01] sumi**
Bye-bye!
**[08:02] tan**
Sure.
**[08:35] tan**
Where am I?
**[08:37] tan**
This is weird.
**[08:39] tan**
I was sure I was on the road home...
***SIGN*** North Luji Road Huaban Street

**[09:08] tan**
I started daydreaming and
forgot my own weakness.
**[09:13] tan**
I have a really lousy sense of direction.
**[09:15] tan**
If only the others were here.
**[09:18] (Flashback) ai**
Do it yourself!
**[09:21] tani**
Never mind. I need to work it out myself.
**[09:26] tani**
This is an island.
**[09:27] tani**
If I just follow the road, I'll get
back to town eventually.
**[09:53] ashi**
One, two, three!
**[09:56] ashi**
I did it!
**[09:58] ashi**
Hooray! I win!
**[10:03] ashi**
Darn it...
**[10:04] snow**
Tanisu's been out for a really long time.
**[10:07] snow**
I'm worried about him.
**[10:10] ashi**
He left three hours ago, huh?
**[10:12] ashi**
The supermarket's close by, isn't it?
**[10:17] ai**
Serves him right!
**[10:19] snow**
Do you think something happened to him?
**[10:22] snow**
You all stay here. I'll find him.
**[10:29] ashi**
I'll go, too.
**[10:30] ai**
If he gets back, he'll just yell at you
for leaving without permission.
**[10:34] ashi**
We can't just sit here, though.
**[10:39] sui**
I'm going, too.
**[10:40] ai**
Hold it! We ain't done here yet!
**[10:59] ai**
C'mon, let's play.
**[11:07] tan**
*Where am I?*
**[11:10] tan**
*That's right. Long ago, when I'd get lost...*
**[11:13] tan**
* No matter where I was,*
* the others would find me.*
**[11:21] tan**
*So that should happen again this time.*
**[11:29] tan**
*We're not in the lab anymore.*
**[11:31] tan**
*I need to work it out myself.*
**[11:42] ashi**
It's been a long time since we last
went searching for Tani-chan.
**[11:54] ashi**
He's around here, is he?
**[12:10] snow**
I think we should turn back...
**[12:12] ashi**
You really shouldn't bite me...
**[12:17] ashi**
Oh, I told you not to!
**[12:25] ashi**
Take care of your teeth!
**[12:37] sui**
The dog's thinking, "I'll get you for this."
**[12:41] ashi**
I knew you'd come!
**[12:45] ai**
I-I was just out hunting...
it's a total coincidence!
**[12:54] sui**
I detect a presence.
**[12:56] sui**
What?!
**[12:56] sui**
Really?
**[12:57] sui**
Where is it?
**[13:05] sui**
I just wanna find him so
I can laugh in his face.
**[13:09] ashi**
Sui-chan. Could you take us
to Tani-chan right now?
**[13:17] sui**
Beneath this cliff.
**[13:19] sui**
Tanisu is there.
**[13:26] sui**
To find him, we'll need someone
with extreme physical capabilities.
**[13:34] sui**
Aisuri-neesan is the only
one who could do it.
**[13:37] sui**
We need you.
**[13:43] ai**
You're all so darn sad.
**[13:48] ai**
I'll find him in no time!
**[13:55] snow**
Nicely done.
**[13:59] sui**
Her simplicity makes it easy.
**[14:24] ai**
He should be around here somewhere...
**[14:41] ai**
Hey, Tanisu!
**[14:44] tani**
Aisuri-neesan...
**[14:52] ai**
You idiot.
**[14:54] ai**
I'm hungry!
**[14:55] ai**
You trying to starve me to death?!
**[15:11] tan**
I'm sorry...
**[15:24] ai**
Let's go.
**[15:26] ai**
If we don't hurry, I'll have to eat *you*.
**[15:29] tan**
But my leg...
**[15:38] sui**
Cold.
**[15:41] ai**
Here we go.
**[15:44] ai**
Hey!
**[15:45] ashi**
Welcome back!
**[15:47] snow**
Welcome back.
**[15:50] ashi**
Tani-chan, that was a very
silly place for hide-and-seek!
**[15:55] sui**
He was startled by a wild dog,
ran away, and fell off the cliff.
**[16:01] snow**
Tanisu, are you afraid of dogs?
**[16:03] tani**
I'm not afraid of your dog form, Snow-niisan.
**[16:06] tani**
Because you're nice.
**[16:21] ai**
You shouldn't have gotten so high and mighty.
**[16:23] ai**
Don't defy me again, okay?
**[16:26] tan**
You're all really amazing.
**[16:29] ai**
You bet your butt!
**[16:31] tan**
Thank you, Aisuri-neesan.
**[16:36] ai**
What the heck...
**[16:43] ashi**
Hey, what are we going to do for dinner?
**[16:45] tan**
Don't worry. I'll work it out.
**[16:48] sui**
Cup ramen, huh?
**[16:50] ashi**
Sounds great! Let's have it!
**[16:54] tai**
I did a little improv with
some things I bought today.
**[16:59] tai**
Just slip your legs in like this...
**[17:07] tai**
Now add a little makeup...
**[17:10] tai**
Now you can go out without
taking the medicine!
**[17:15] ai**
Hey, not bad!
**[17:16] ashi**
Tani-chan, you really are a genius!

Yes! Let's do the next one!
**[19:03] ---**
It's so simple, I think everyone wants it.
**[19:06] ---**
But I'd like to turn invisible.

**[19:08] ---**
Oh, I hear you. Turning invisible!
**[19:13] ---**
What would you do if you were invisible?
**[19:14] ---**
I'd play pranks.
**[19:16] ---**
Play pranks?
**[19:18] ---**
Now I really want to know what you'd do.
**[19:19] ---**
Why?
**[19:20] ---**
What would you do?
**[19:21] ---**
Well, I'd do bad things.
**[19:23] ---**
Bad things, huh?
**[19:24] ---**
Oh, that's impressive.
**[19:25] ---**
What kind of bad things? Name one.
**[19:27] ---**
One bad thing would be,
**[19:29] ---**
the minute you're about to eat a dessert
you've been looking forward to,
**[19:32] ---**
I'd make you think someone was calling you,
**[19:34] ---**
then I'd gobble it down.
**[19:36] ---**
That's cute.
**[19:36] ---**
That's not as bad as I expect.
**[19:40] ---**
I think I could do an incredible stage
performance, so I'd like to try that.
**[19:43] ---**
You'd turn invisible and then suddenly...
**[19:45] ---**
Not a stagehand...
**[19:47] ---**
Not a stagehand. An invisi-hand.
**[19:48] ---**
An invisi-hand? Amazing!
**[19:51] ---**
Amazing, amazing!
**[19:53] ---**
I'd do it all manually.
You could do so much stuff.
**[19:56] ---**
Rotating the set and stuff.
**[19:57] ---**
No one could see you.
**[19:58] ---**
You could make things float and stuff!
**[20:00] ---**
You'd suddenly have snow falling.
**[20:02] ---**
You'd do that manually?
**[20:03] ---**
Wouldn't a machine be better for that?
**[20:06] ---**
Maybe!
**[20:06] ---**
Second?
***SIGN*** If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
**[20:07] ---**
Second, let's see...
**[20:10] ---**
Teleportation?
**[20:12] ---**
Teleportation!
**[20:13] ---**
Teleportation!
**[20:14] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[20:15] ---**
You think of that, right?
**[20:16] ---**
I'd sleep in as long as I could,
then teleport to my next location,
**[20:19] ---**
and sleep in the break room there.
**[20:21] ---**
Strong.
**[20:23] ---**
So strong.
**[20:23] ---**
Going back to the "I want to sleep" theme.
**[20:25] ---**
I want teleportation.
**[20:27] ---**
Teleportation is nice.
**[20:28] ---**
Everyone wants that, right?
**[20:29] ---**
I do.
**[20:29] ---**
I do.
**[20:30] ---**
Being modified... but modifications.
***SIGN*** If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
**[20:32] ---**
I want this power:
**[20:33] ---**
The ability to go inside a manga!
**[20:36] ---**
It's what a boy would want.
**[20:39] ---**
You seem really spontaneous.
**[20:41] ---**
Kind of like an otaku.
**[20:43] ---**
But I'd want to go inside a manga.
**[20:46] ---**
Me, too.
**[20:48] ---**
When I was in elementary school,
ninja manga were popular.
**[20:55] ---**
*Naruto* was popular.
**[20:58] ---**
I really wanted to be a ninja.
**[21:00] ---**
I'd love to go into that world,
**[21:03] ---**
but I was in 3rd or 4th grade.
**[21:06] ---**
I was starting to get
those geeky delusions.
**[21:09] ---**
For a while, I really thought I was a ninja.
**[21:12] ---**
You really thought that?
**[21:12] ---**
I thought that!
**[21:15] ---**
During a class break, I thought,
"I've got superpowers!"
**[21:17] ---**
I was born in Hokkaido, and there
were a lot of snowy mountains.
**[21:21] ---**
Since I had superpowers,
I thought I could climb them.
**[21:25] ---**
I jumped down off a tall place, like bam!
**[21:27] ---**
And I had this great landing,
but I felt this crack in my leg.
**[21:31] ---**
It hurt.
**[21:33] ---**
I wanted everyone to made a big fuss,
like, "Are you okay? Did it hurt?"
**[21:37] ---**
I went to the nurse's office.
**[21:38] ---**
When I arrived, they said,
"What happened to you?!"
**[21:41] ---**
I looked and saw it was really swollen.
**[21:43] ---**
I was taken right to the hospital.
**[21:45] ---**
I had to get a cast and
couldn't go to school!
**[21:48] ---**
Was it broken?
**[21:48] ---**
The ligament was kind of...
**[21:51] ---**
Yeah. It hurt.
**[21:52] ---**
The next day, in Hokkaido, the roads freeze,
**[21:57] ---**
and I had to walk on crutches.
**[21:59] ---**
So I couldn't go to school
all through winter break.
**[22:01] ---**
No way!
**[22:01] ---**
I couldn't do any studying during that time.
**[22:03] ---**
I couldn't do ratios in math and stuff.
**[22:06] ---**
Because of that, I thought it would
be nice to go into a manga world.
**[22:11] ---**
Then I could be a ninja.
**[22:13] ---**
When you get to the ending
of a manga that you love,
**[22:18] ---**
and you want it to keep going,
**[22:19] ---**
you could go inside and change the future.
**[22:21] ---**
Keep it going!
**[22:22] ---**
You don't want it to end.
**[22:22] ---**
If I had the power to go into a manga...
**[22:28] ---**
But of course, even if I went
inside, I'd probably chicken out.
**[22:32] ---**
I couldn't talk to my favorite characters.
**[22:34] ---**
Oh, you'd be like a spectator.
**[22:35] ---**
Yeah, a third party.
**[22:36] ---**
I see!
**[22:37] ---**
A total extra. An extra.
**[22:39] ---**
I'm that type, too.
**[22:41] ---**
We have something in common.
**[22:43] ---**
You wouldn't necessarily
get involved with them.
**[22:45] ---**
Going in doesn't mean you
become a protagonist, I think.
**[22:50] ---**
I'd rather stir the pot, personally.
**[22:51] ---**
Really?!
**[22:52] ---**
I'd start trouble among
the central characters.
**[22:56] ---**
Wow! You're so enterprising!
**[22:58] ---**
I'd like to try it.
**[23:00] ---**
If you're going inside a manga,
take advantage!
**[23:03] ---**
You can't say those things in real life, so...
**[23:06] ---**
Inside a manga you can say them.
**[23:08] ---**
I see!
**[23:10] ---**
That's right.
**[23:10] ---**
We talked about abilities that we want.
**[23:13] ---**
That's right.

***SIGN*** Summary of previous episodes
**[00:02] ---**
*Last week on Frankenstein Family...*
**[00:08] ---**
*Aisuri-neesan never listened to me.*
**[00:13] ---**
* When I told her to stop going*
* out looking like a spider,*
**[00:15] ---**
* she got all pissy and said "you can*
* do all the housework yourself."*
**[00:21] ---**
*That's no problem! I can do it all by myself.*
**[00:25] ---**
*I'm a genius, after all.*
**[00:28] ---**
* And when I went shopping, I ran into*
* this really nice girl named Sumire-chan!*
**[00:34] ---**
*But the next thing I knew, I'd gotten lost!*
**[00:38] ---**
* I may be a genius, but I have*
* a lousy sense of direction...*

* My siblings came to look for me,*

**[02:42] tan**
Yes. Yes.
**[02:44] tan**
I understand.
**[02:48] tan**
Yes. Thank you very much.
**[02:50] tan**
Goodbye.
**[02:53] tan**
I need to go to the mainland
tomorrow to meet someone I know.
**[02:57] ai**
Since when do you know
anyone on the mainland?
**[03:00] ashi**
Who is it?
**[03:01] ashi**
Anyone we know?
**[03:03] tan**
I dug through some of my old notes
**[03:07] tan**
and got in touch with my old tutor.
**[03:11] ai**
What are you gonna do with
some old tutor of yours?
**[03:14] tan**
What we need right now is an
adult willing to help us out.
**[03:20] suno**
You intend to go by yourself?
***SIGN*** Could become a dog at any time
***SIGN*** Wild and reckless
**[03:29] [SONG] sign**
Airheaded, prone to spacing out
**[03:31] sui**
You'll fall off a cliff again.
**[03:33] tan**
That was an accident!
**[03:41] suno**
Should I go with you?
**[03:44] tan**
N-No way!
**[03:46] tan**
If you accidentally show your
tail, we'll get in trouble.
**[03:50] tan**
And Aisuri-neesan will definitely
cause trouble, so I can't take her.
**[03:55] ai**
Hey!
**[03:56] tan**
So I was thinking I'd have
to take Ashisu-neesan.
**[04:00] tan**
I thought if I had to, I could use her
ability to get the teacher to believe me.
**[04:05] sui**
It's decided.
**[04:07] sui**
I'll go.
**[04:19] tan**
Things sure are different in the big city...
**[04:22] tan**
Let's go that way!
**[04:33] sui**
You'll get lost again like that.
**[04:36] tan**
But I thought you hated being outside.
**[04:39] tan**
Why did you come with me?
**[04:41] sui**
I would prefer it if you didn't die.
**[04:45] tan**
You're making too much of it.
**[04:47] sui**
So, do you know how to get there?
**[04:51] tan**
Don't worry!
**[04:54] tan**
Hey! Excuse me!
**[04:59] tan**
Huh?
**[05:01] tan**
Um...
**[05:04] tan**
Excuse me!
**[05:07] tan**
This isn't how I imagined it...
**[05:09] woman**
Hey there, sonny.
**[05:11] woman**
Could you hire me a taxi?
**[05:14] woman**
I lost all my money...
**[05:18] sui**
Don't.
**[05:19] tan**
Neesan?
**[05:24] sui**
She's a con artist.
**[05:31] sui**
I'll show you how to get there.
**[05:43] tan**
How do I get to Mt. Hakuun?!
**[05:48] girl**
*He just needs to take the subway.*
**[05:49] girl**
*Did this boy come to the city all alone?*
**[05:52] girl**
*Where is that?*
**[05:54] girl**
*It's just one bus away.*
**[05:56] girl**
*The subway station is right there.*
**[06:00] girl**
*Oh, poor little boy...*
**[06:03] sui**
So noisy.
**[06:07] sui**
Come on.
**[06:14] tan**
*She really knows how to use her powers...*
**[06:18] tan**
* Even though she spends*
* so much time indoors...*
**[06:25] ann**
* The train is arriving on*
* the second platform.*
**[06:28] ann**
*Please watch your step.*
**[06:53] sui**
Watch your wallet.
**[06:57] suri**
'Scuse me!
**[07:00] tan**
The city's nothing like I expected.
**[07:30] tut**
Tanisu-kun?
**[07:31] tan**
You remember me?
**[07:33] tut**
I couldn't believe you contacted me.
**[07:36] tan**
Yeah. We're in a little trouble.
**[07:39] tut**
What happened?
**[07:52] tut**
Let's talk it out over lunch.
**[07:55] tan**
Okay.
**[08:05] wait**
Here you are.
**[08:15] wait**
Enjoy!
**[08:54] tan**
Delicious!
**[08:58] tut**
And who's this young lady?
**[09:01] tan**
This is my big sister, Suishi!
**[09:03] tan**
She's not exactly the expressive type, so...
**[09:06] tut**
Are you here about her?
**[09:09] tan**
Ah, no. This is how she always is.
**[09:12] tut**
Then...
**[09:14] tan**
*How should I explain?*
**[09:16] sui**
Put it in your own words.
**[09:18] sui**
I'm not the friendly type,
so I'd make her uncomfortable.
**[09:22] tan**
Um...
**[09:25] tan**
Our parents were researchers,
**[09:27] tan**
and they did experiments on my siblings
for a program they were running.
**[09:33] tan**
Then they were taken away
by the police, and...
**[09:37] tut**
Why did you come to me?
**[09:39] tan**
I don't have any adults I can count on.
**[09:43] tut**
I see...
**[09:48] tut**
Even so, I don't see how I could help you.
**[09:55] tut**
You may have forgotten this by now,
**[09:58] tut**
but I still remember it clear as day.
**[10:05] (Flashback) tan**
I'm so bored!
**[10:07] (Flashback) tan**
It's all too darn easy.
**[10:12] (Flashback) tan**
Teach me something I don't already know.
**[10:16] (Flashback) tan**
We're done here. You can go home now.
**[10:20] vo**
*You can't even teach an eight-year-old kid?*
**[10:23] vo**
*You've got that fancy degree,
but that's all you got?*
**[10:25] vo**
*Don't worry.*
**[10:26] vo**
* If you can't handle elementary schoolers,*
* you can go teach kindergarten!*
**[10:31] tut**
I... was once considered
the top of the elite...
**[10:36] tut**
And you humiliated me, just like that.
**[10:40] tut**
Genius, my ass!
**[10:41] tut**
You've been scientifically modified!
**[10:43] tan**
No, I'm not!
**[10:46] tut**
Yes, I'm sure of it!
**[10:50] tut**
I knew it was strange...
**[10:56] tut**
Don't underestimate humans,
**[10:59] tut**
you botched Frankenstein!
**[11:01] tan**
I'm... not...
**[11:04] tut**
Let me offer a bit of advice
to my dear, former pupil.
**[11:10] tut**
Go to the government.
**[11:11] tut**
You'll make a fine guinea pig.
**[11:18] tut**
Monsters. You're all monsters.
**[11:23] sui**
It seems we're finished here.
**[11:26] sui**
Let's go, Tanisu.
**[11:33] tut**
Serves you right.
**[11:35] sui**
That's right... you're on
your third boyfriend.
**[11:41] sui**
It was that pride of yours that
made the previous two dump you.
**[11:45] sui**
Even so, you have one
true friend, named Rijen.
**[11:50] sui**
Her house isn't far from here.
**[11:56] tut**
Wh-What *are* you?
**[12:00] sui**
There's no need to worry.
**[12:04] sui**
As long as you don't do anything to us,
**[12:06] sui**
we won't harm you.
**[12:09] sui**
Thank you for the meal,
"kindergarten teacher."
**[12:38] tan**
Did you know this would happen?
**[12:41] sui**
She's no different from
the other city people.
**[12:45] tan**
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
**[12:53] tan**
Am I really a genius?
**[12:57] sui**
You are a genius.
**[12:59] sui**
You're just still a child.
**[13:26] sumi**
Hey!
**[13:31] tan**
Thanks for before.
**[13:34] tan**
Um...
**[13:38] sumi**
Sumire!
**[13:41] tan**
Hello, Sumire.
**[13:43] tan**
I'm...
**[13:46] tut**
*Monsters. You're all monsters.*
**[13:51] tan**
Kanisu.
**[13:52] tan**
My name is Kanisu.
**[13:57] sum**
That's a strange name.
**[13:58] sum**
Are you foreign?
**[14:00] tan**
Yeah.
**[14:02] sum**

"Who's your favorite character

**[16:30] sign**
Pick your favorite?
***SIGN*** Who's your favorite character
in *Frankenstein Family*?
***SIGN*** Aisuri
Mori Nanako
***SIGN*** Suishi
Ikuta Yoshiko
***SIGN*** Tanisu
Sugiyama Riho
**[16:31] sign**
Your favorite!
**[16:32] sign**
I have one.
**[16:34] sign**
For me, it's Aisuri-neesan.
**[16:37] sign**
Oh, really?
**[16:39] sign**
We have no one to rely on.
We don't have much money.
**[16:42] sign**
But you won't even try to
learn how to be normal!
**[16:46] sign**
If you don't change, you'll—
**[16:51] sign**
We'll what?
**[16:53] sign**
All you do is complain all damn day.
**[16:58] sign**
We ain't normal.
**[17:01] sign**
What's the matter with that?
**[17:03] sign**
Why do we gotta be your idea of "normal"?
**[17:07] sign**
What even *is* your idea of "normal"?
**[17:11] sign**
Despite how I look, I'm very solicitous.
**[17:13] sign**
So even if I feel a certain way,
I think, "Should I say that?"
**[17:17] sign**
"Hmm, but I should think
on how to phrase it it."
**[17:21] sign**
Then I end up just not saying it.
**[17:23] sign**
But Aisuri-neesan just said
exactly what she's thinking.
**[17:26] sign**
I really admire her.
**[17:29] sign**
It's sort of refreshing.
**[17:31] sign**
But she's not actually cold or anything.
**[17:35] sign**
There's love there, so I like that part.
**[17:38] sign**
She's very cool.
**[17:40] sign**
Cool, huh?
**[17:41] sign**
Yes, very cool.
**[17:43] sign**
You're not aware of it?
**[17:44] sign**
I guess not.
**[17:45] sign**
You're not thinking, "Let's make it cool!"?
**[17:46] sign**
Not a bit.
**[17:47] sign**
So maybe it's your natural
coolness leaking through?
**[17:50] sign**
I'll give you something later.
**[17:52] sign**
Thanks!
**[17:53] sign**
Hey, Tanisu!
**[17:57] sign**
Aisuri-neesan...
**[18:05] sign**
You idiot.
**[18:11] sign**
I'm sorry...
**[18:25] sign**
Let's go.
**[18:27] sign**
If we don't hurry, I'll have to eat *you*.
**[18:30] sign**
My favorite character is...
***SIGN*** Who's your favorite character
in *Frankenstein Family*?
**[18:31] sign**
Mine is the puppy.
**[18:35] sign**
Oh, the puppy. He's adorable!
**[18:37] sign**
I just love the puppy.
**[18:39] sign**
He really is cute.
**[18:40] sign**
Even when he's not being
animated, he's panting.
**[18:43] sign**
Pant pant pant pant.
**[18:45] sign**
He's a real puppy.
**[18:47] sign**
But that pitter-pat when he moves...
**[18:50] sign**
So cute!
**[18:51] sign**
He's very cute.
**[19:08] sign**
For me, it's Snow.
Just because he's so cute.
**[19:11] ---**
Snow's good, huh?
**[19:13] sign**
Those button eyes of his!
**[19:15] sign**
They're so cute.
**[19:18] sign**
And the kind big brother
archetype is also very cool.
**[19:23] sign**
And he's a bit innocent, right?
**[19:25] sign**
Such a cool character.
**[19:26] sign**
Yes, very cool.
**[19:36] sign**
Thanks, Snow-niisan.
**[19:44] sign**
Snow-niisan. Ashisu-neesan!
**[19:47] sign**
Hey, you dumb mutt!
**[19:49] sign**
My dog side doesn't handle
this atmosphere well,
**[19:52] sign**
and I've always wanted to try chopsticks...
**[19:55] sign**
While playing Tanisu, I thought,
"I'm no match for Snow-niisan."
**[20:00] sign**
He's so cool.
**[20:01] sign**
I can't beat him.
**[20:03] sign**
I play a man, too, so I do my best,
**[20:08] sign**
but I couldn't beat him.
**[20:09] sign**
I think, "Oh, I lose."
**[20:12] sign**
When we're recording, I hear
these cool lines being spoken.
**[20:16] sign**
"Oh, I lose," I think.
**[20:18] sign**
I think he's so cool!
**[20:19] sign**
You think he's so cool?
**[20:22] sign**
I lose inside.
**[20:25] sign**
I lose as Tanisu, I lose as Sugiyama.
**[20:29] sign**
It really hurts.
***SIGN*** Failure
**[20:30] sign**
I didn't know you were fighting.
**[20:31] sign**
Yes, I was fighting.

Who's your favorite?

I like them all.
**[20:39] sign**
They're all so wonderful.
**[20:41] sign**
I agree about liking
Snow-niisan and Aisuri-neesan.
**[20:47] sign**
I also want to agree that I like them all.
**[20:50] sign**
I don't know what to do?
**[20:51] sign**
Overflowing with love!
**[20:54] sign**
They're all just so cute.
**[20:57] sign**
I love them, and I can't pick my favorite.
**[21:00] sign**
They all have their good points.
**[21:02] sign**
The characters all stand out.
**[21:04] sign**
I hope everyone else likes all five, too.
**[21:10] sign**
What're you staring at? Got a problem?!
**[21:14] sign**
No, everyone just go on and eat!
**[21:23] sign**
Delicious!
**[21:27] sign**
Would you like one of my mushrooms?
**[21:30] sign**
Bring another round!
**[21:32] sign**
Fill up the plates!
**[21:36] sign**
Can't you slow down?
**[21:37] sign**
"If someone makes trouble again,
this will be our last time eating out,"
**[21:41] sign**
Tanisu thinks.
**[21:43] sign**
Who do you mean?
**[21:45] sign**
I wasn't thinking that.
**[21:47] sign**
I'm having fun being here with everyone.
**[21:49] sign**
The five of them are my
favorites, definitely.
**[21:52] sign**
Are there any other characters you like?
**[21:56] sign**
I want to hear!
**[21:59] sign**
The landlord.
**[22:00] sign**
The landlord?
**[22:02] sign**
The five of us were driven out of the lab
**[22:09] sign**
and we need to make our
way in the normal world.
**[22:12] sign**
He offered us his home.
**[22:15] sign**
Kuma-san... his name is Kuma-san.
***SIGN*** Yu Kaito Voice: Horie Kazuma 32 years old, the landlord who took the five siblings in. A perpetual research student.
**[22:19] sign**
So he tells them to call him Kuma-san.
**[22:22] sign**
And they're all like, "What?"
**[22:24] sign**
Then they're like, "Let's just eat."
**[22:28] sign**
Tanisu snaps at him.
**[22:31] sign**
He's working so hard to introduce himself,
**[22:34] sign**
but nobody listens.
**[22:36] sign**
They're all focused on their own things.
**[22:39] sign**
But he's a very nice, considerate landlord.
**[22:44] sign**
He's always thinking things over.
**[22:47] sign**
"Should I do this? Should I
do that? I'd better decide!"
**[22:51] sign**
Everyone's just running
wild, so they don't listen.
**[22:55] sign**
But since he's thinking all the
time, it's like a geyser at Suishi.
**[23:00] sign**
"This guy's so annoying! I hate him!"
**[23:04] sign**
I see.
***SIGN*** Wait to see Horie Kazuma's performance as the landlord!
**[23:05] sign**
What about you, personally?
Did you dislike him?
**[23:08] sign**
I don't really dislike him.

is a little better than this...
**[02:57] (Flashback) mom**
What shall we do with the children?
**[03:00] (Flashback) dad**
A fine question.
**[03:03] (Flashback) dad**
A very fine question...
**[03:13] (Flashback) ai**
What's going on?
**[03:14] (Flashback) ai**
What's with all the noise
in the middle of the night?
**[03:18] (Flashback) dad**
Take this.
**[03:24] (Flashback) dad**
Now, pay attention! Your mother and I...
**[03:28] (Flashback) dad**
...are going to leave for a little while.
**[03:36] (Flashback) tan**
What?
**[03:39] (Flashback) mom**
You all have to move out, too.
**[03:45] (Flashback) mom**
Be good boys and girls until we come for you.
**[03:54] (Flashback) dad**
Tanisu. Take care of the others.
**[03:59] (Flashback) dad**
I've stored all the data in the
usual place. Take care of the rest.
**[04:03] (Flashback) dad**
The password is...
**[04:05] (Flashback) mom**
Snow, you'll want to stay
a dog for a while, all right?
**[04:09] (Flashback) dad**
It's as I told you before.
**[04:10] (Flashback) dad**
You'll be the one who completes our research.
**[04:18] tan**
* After they finished talking,*
* Mom and Dad had us wait in the lab.*
**[04:24] tan**
*Not long after, the institute blew up.*
**[04:29] tan**
*We managed to get to the opposite shore,*
**[04:32] tan**
*but the police found us right away.*
**[04:36] tan**
* Our parents had been arrested,*
* and we had no relatives,*
**[04:40] tan**
* so the government went through*
* a a social welfare service*
**[04:43] tan**
*to find us a new home.*
**[04:45] tan**
*We thought we'd have to wait a long time.*
**[04:48] tan**
* We never thought someone would*
* make an offer so quickly.*
**[04:53] tan**
*My sisters... Well, they *looked*
human for the time being,*
**[04:59] tan**
* but the entire time between the police*
* finding us and us being taken to our new home,*
**[05:03] tan**
* we were worried about when the*
* medicine might lose effect.*
**[05:08] tan**
* We were lucky that it only lost*
* effect after everyone left...*
**[05:14] tan**
*But that's when the side effects occurred...*
**[05:30] tan**
* Of course, it would be best not to*
* have to use the medicine at all.*
**[05:33] tan**
*But to do that...*
**[05:39] suno**
I heard a sound downstairs.
**[05:41] suno**
Let's check it out together.
**[05:47] ai**
What's all the fuss at this hour?
**[05:50] tan**
Oh, sorry. We're fine.
**[05:55] tan**
Who could it be at this hour?
**[06:03] tan**
Hello? Oh, yes!
**[06:07] tan**
Is that so?
**[06:08] tan**
Okay, got it.
**[06:13] suno**
Who was it?
**[06:16] tan**
The landlord's coming home tomorrow.
**[06:19] ai**
Landlord?
**[06:21] tan**
The guy who owns this house.
**[06:23] ai**
Who is he?
**[06:24] tan**
I've never met him, so I don't know,
**[06:27] tan**
but he sounded really normal over the phone.
**[06:38] ai**
You've got bugs.
**[06:40] ashi**
Don't eat them!
**[06:41] tan**
If a normal person were to see all of this...
**[06:44] ashi**
Let's go, puppy!
**[06:47] sui**
We're finished.
**[06:50] tan**
We don't have much medicine left.
**[06:52] tan**
Which means...
**[06:54] tan**
Listen, everyone!
**[06:57] tan**
Let's go back to the lab!
**[06:59] tan**
There must be more medicine there...
**[07:00] tan**
And... the research data, too!
**[07:04] ashi**
Oh, hooray!
**[07:06] ashi**
When are we heading out?
**[07:08] tan**
Well, early tomorrow, I hope...
**[07:11] ai**
Yes! We're going home!
**[07:14] ashi**
Oh, could I bring my new clothing?
**[07:17] tan**
We're just picking up
some stuff we left there.
**[07:19] tan**
We won't need to change clothes.
**[07:23] tan**
We can't go back to our old lives.
**[07:28] tan**
Why?
**[07:29] tan**
I don't know how to get this across,
**[07:33] tan**
but this is the answer.
**[07:37] ai**
Tanisu...
**[07:39] ai**
Don't you threaten us with
that crap, you damn brat!
**[07:43] tan**
I'm not trying to threaten you.
**[07:46] tan**
Meeting my tutor made it really clear.
**[07:49] tan**
If we want to keep hiding
the fact that you're modified,
**[07:53] tan**
and if we want you to avoid
the terrible side effects this has,
**[07:57] tan**
then I have to keep researching the medicine!
**[08:00] tan**
I don't want you guys to
suffer like that again.
**[08:08] ai**
I don't want to take the medicine.
**[08:10] ai**
Neither do I...
**[08:12] tan**
If I can finish the research,
we can stave off the side e—
***SIGN*** Genius
**[08:14] ashi**
What happened to the
makeup plan from before?!
**[08:17] ai**
It ain't like I'm that desperate
to go outside, anyway!
**[08:20] tan**
That's just a temporary fix!
**[08:23] tan**
And if the landlord shows up,
he'll definitely realize something's off!
**[08:29] suno**
Ashisu, Aisuri.
**[08:32] suno**
Do you remember when Tanisu
fixed up that TV we found?
**[08:36] ai**
That was super cool!
**[08:37] ashi**
The people inside it seemed
to be having so much fun!
**[08:41] ai**
Yeah, yeah!
**[08:42] suno**
If you gain human forms,
you can do the same things.
**[08:46] ai**
We can eat the legendary 108-dish
Chinese food full course?!
**[08:50] ashi**
I can dive into the sea and look at
fish, and slide along that white sand?
**[08:54] ashi**
I can ride the bullet train, climb mountains,
and watch 3D movies?!
**[08:58] ashi**
I can ride airplanes, too!
**[09:00] both**
Go, go! Tanisu!
**[09:01] both**
We're behind you, Tanisu!
**[09:03] tan**
Great job, Snow-niisan.
**[09:05] tan**
Do you want to go outside too, Snow-niisan?
**[09:11] suno**
Well, I suppose that I would.
**[09:16] suno**
But being with you all is all I need.
**[09:22] tan**
Snow-niisan...
**[09:25] tan**
I'm sure your wishes will
all come true some day.
**[09:29] tan**
Tomorrow morning, we're heading out.
**[09:35] tan**
Huh? You were all waiting for me here?
**[09:39] ai**
You're really freakin' late. What time is it?
**[09:42] suno**
One o'clock.
**[09:43] tan**
I didn't know book stores
only opened at 10...
**[09:46] tan**
I bought some food, too. Here.
**[09:48] both**
Yeah!
**[09:48] both**
Cool!
**[09:50] tan**
I was doing a lot of research
with Suishi-neesan.
**[09:54] tan**
Here's a map.
**[09:55] tan**
This is the island we're on now.
**[09:57] tan**
It's not too far to the lab.
**[10:00] tan**
If we leave from this beach,
**[10:02] tan**
we should arrive in 30 minutes by boat.
**[10:05] tan**
That's the plan, so let's head out!
**[10:09] sui**
Tanisu.
**[10:12] sui**
I went with you this morning,
so I can't go with you now.
**[10:16] tan**
Got it.
**[10:17] tan**
Careful on your way home, okay?
**[10:43] tan**
You see that island?
**[10:44] tan**
That's where our house is.
**[10:45] tan**
Let's get ready.
**[10:50] ai**
Why are you getting changed?
**[10:53] tan**
I thought it might heighten
the feel of adventure!
**[10:56] ai**
Then why the lab coat?
**[10:58] tan**
It's the only way I feel comfortable!
**[11:01] ai**
You make it too easy to tease you.
**[11:03] tan**
* Why did Mom and Dad devote*
* themselves to that research?*
**[11:09] tan**
* Was it just to satisfy*
* a hunger for knowledge?*
**[11:13] ai**
Yeah!
**[11:17] tan**
* What's the point of having me*
* continue their research?*
**[11:20] ai**
Let's go!
**[11:21] tan**
*There might be an answer in the data.*
**[11:26] tan**
If you two get tired, you can climb back on.
**[11:37] sui**
Tanisu still has the key.
**[11:41] tan**
I saw it in a newspaper,
but the institute is sealed off now.
**[11:45] tan**
There are apparently a lot
of government people inside,
**[11:48] tan**
so we need to make sure
we're not seen sneaking in.
**[11:51] tan**
You guys know the shortcuts
through the forest really well,
**[11:55] tan**
so I'll count on you to guide me.
**[11:56] both**
Roger!
**[11:57] tan**
Puppy, you be on the look-out
for anyone suspicious, okay?
**[12:02] tan**
Wait for me!
**[12:08] ashi**
So cute!
**[12:11] ai**
Can I eat it?
**[12:13] ashi**
Over there!
**[12:21] tan**
It felt like a longer walk before.
**[12:24] ai**
It's because you always got lost.
**[12:28] tan**
Now that I'm used to the houses
outside, the old lab feels so...
**[12:32] ashi**
So cool!
**[12:34] ashi**
Can I take that thing back with me?
**[12:36] tan**
No!
**[12:40] ashi**
There's no one inside, either.
**[12:44] ai**
Upsy-daisy!
**[12:48] ai**
It's open here.
**[12:52] ai**
Okay...
**[12:54] ai**
The camera's not working.
**[13:03] tan**
Okay!
**[13:05] ai**
Sorry for the wait.
**[13:06] ashi**
It's fine!
**[13:11] ashi**
You're not going?
**[13:12] tan**
Hold on. Puppy,
**[13:14] tan**
can you tell how many people
are inside the building by smell?
**[13:19] tan**
Let's go to the kitchen first, then.
**[13:22] ashi**
Are you hungry?
**[13:24] tan**
If the cameras aren't working,
**[13:26] tan**
the control room next to
the kitchen isn't, either.
**[13:28] tan**
If we can get there first and get
the security monitors working,
**[13:33] tan**
we can get an idea of what's
going on in the building.
**[13:49] ai**
Wow!
**[13:51] ashi**
It's just like a Hollywood movie!
**[13:54] ai**
You were hiding this great place from us!
**[13:58] tan**
I was hoping to avoid any damage.
**[14:01] ai**
It's just a bunch of monitors.
**[14:03] ai**
How would I get damaged here?
**[14:06] tan**
I wasn't talking about damage to *you*...
**[14:08] ai**
What's with the password
that unlocked it, too?
**[14:11] (Flashback) dad**
Just a peek!
**[14:13] tan**
It's not like I thought it up...
**[14:16] tan**
Dad said this was to monitor guests.
**[14:20] tan**
I know. There might be old recordings.
**[14:23] ai**
Where?
**[14:24] ai**
No, they're all gone.
**[14:28] ai**
I wonder if there's another
way to get at the data.
**[14:31] ai**
You guys are good at tag, right?
**[14:34] both**
Yeah!
**[14:35] tan**
Find us a good way out, okay?
**[14:37] both**
Leave it to us!
**[14:37] both**
Understood!
***SIGN*** Frankenstein Extras!
**[16:25] sign**
*Frankenstein Extras!*
**[16:28] sign**
*Today's theme is...*
***SIGN*** Today's theme is...
***SIGN*** {\fad(1,500)Shinchosha
Headquarters
***SIGN*** This time...
***SIGN*** Frankenstein Family
***SIGN*** We see where the comics are published
***SIGN*** Shinchosha's Monthly Comic
Bunch Editorial Department!
***SIGN*** Frankenstein Family
***SIGN*** Chief Editor Uotani Ryota-san
***SIGN*** How did you end up publishing
*Frankenstein Family*?
**[16:50] sign**
Japanese manga is very popular overseas.
**[16:55] sign**
Lately, the trend of foreign writers
wanting to make their debut in Japan
**[16:59] sign**
has been getting much stronger.
**[17:00] sign**
We ended up publishing *Frankenstein Family*
after someone in the publishing department
**[17:04] sign**
over there talked with us
at a manga-related event
**[17:07] sign**
and showed us ten comics currently
popular in China and Taiwan.
**[17:13] sign**
Out of those, I thought *Frankenstein
Family* might do well in Japan.
**[17:17] sign**
And so we published it.
**[17:21] sign**
As the title suggests, "Family" is
a big theme of *Frankenstein Family*.
**[17:26] sign**
"Family" is a universal theme wherever
you go, be it China, Taiwan, or Japan.
**[17:31] sign**
I thought it would cross the cultural
barriers and reach the readers.
**[17:37] sign**
The concept is novel and the
characters are funny and charming.
**[17:43] sign**
That made me really want to publish it.
***SIGN*** How does publishing a foreign manga change the usual process?
**[17:48] sign**
Of course, the original isn't in Japanese,
so we have to hire a translator.
**[17:54] sign**
But there are a lot of phrases that sound
strange in Japanese if translated directly,
**[17:59] sign**
or that just won't sound colloquial.
**[18:01] sign**
It creates discrepancies
between the intended meaning
**[18:04] sign**
and what the readers end up hearing.
**[18:06] sign**
Those sorts of quiet misunderstandings
are really hard to avoid.
**[18:09] sign**
Fortunately, the writer, Yanai-sensei,
is very good at Japanese,
**[18:14] sign**
so if we're not sure, we can
ask what we should do.
**[18:20] sign**
I think that's really great.
**[18:23] sign**
There are also places with drawn lettering.
**[18:25] sign**
Not the text written with a computer,
**[18:31] sign**
but places where the artist
has drawn in the words.
**[18:35] sign**
We need to adjust those, and that
takes a while, but that's all.
**[18:39] sign**
I don't think there were any major problems.
***SIGN*** How do the readers like it?
**[18:48] sign**
Well, when it was first being published,
**[18:51] sign**
they had already decided to make
a TV anime for it in Japan.
**[18:56] sign**
And a lot of people were
really hoping for an anime.
**[19:00] sign**
Now on Comic Bunch Web,
our official home page,
**[19:04] sign**
we've got a PV and stuff,
**[19:07] sign**
and I see that the views on it are very good.
**[19:11] sign**
It makes me think people really
want that anime adaptation.
***SIGN*** We asked Uotani-san our questions, too!
***SIGN*** If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
**[19:22] sign**
I see.
**[19:25] sign**
Good question.
**[19:28] sign**
The character Snow is a dog-human
hybrid. He can become a dog.
**[19:36] sign**
I'd like to become a cat, I think.
**[19:39] sign**
They're so laid-back.
**[19:41] sign**
I'd like to live a life like that.
**[19:44] sign**
I've always liked cats, too.
**[19:47] sign**
Back to Snow.
**[19:50] sign**
Getting to see people and
society from his point of view,
**[19:54] sign**
I feel like there's a lot
you could learn that way.
***SIGN*** Let's keep asking! What other powers would you want?
**[20:00] sign**
I'm not sure.
**[20:02] sign**
Maybe the ability to get eight
hours of sleep in just 30 minutes.
**[20:08] sign**
That ability would be great.
**[20:11] sign**
Let's see...
**[20:12] sign**
What else...
**[20:16] sign**
Ah...
**[20:18] sign**
Teleportation would be great.
**[20:22] sign**
Because I'm a comics editor, and I don't
really get a lot of time for vacations.
**[20:30] sign**
If I could teleport, I could visit all
the places overseas that I want to see.
**[20:34] sign**
If I could do that, I'd use it a lot.
***SIGN*** Who's your favorite *Frankenstein Family* character?
**[20:41] sign**
Snow, I think.
**[20:44] sign**
The concept of the show is kind of hardcore,
**[20:49] sign**
with these children being
modified by their parents.
**[20:54] sign**
But the characters themselves
are all so sweet.
**[20:57] sign**
They can't even tell good from evil, really.
**[21:02] sign**
It's such a shock when you
see them in the real world.
**[21:05] sign**
Part of you thinks, "Will they be okay?"
**[21:07] sign**
That really comes through.
**[21:11] sign**
Out of those, Snow is the big brother,
**[21:15] sign**
so I think he represents the highest
ideal of what you want a family to be.
**[21:23] sign**
If something happens,
if someone's in trouble,
**[21:29] sign**
Snow-niisan can settle it with a single word.
**[21:33] sign**
And in the anime, the voice actor's
performance really brings out that tolerance.
**[21:39] sign**
And his dog form is also really cute.
**[21:41] sign**
Snow-niisan is definitely my favorite.
**[21:53] sign**
Thanks, Snow-niisan.
**[21:57] sign**
Do you think something happened to him?
**[21:59] sign**
You all stay here. I'll find him.
**[22:04] sign**
My dog side doesn't handle
this atmosphere well,
**[22:07] sign**
and I've always wanted to try chopsticks...
***SIGN*** The first volume of the comic is out, right?
**[22:13] sign**
*Frankenstein Family* is an
unusual case in Japan, I think.
**[22:18] sign**
The anime and the comic
both debuted the same day.
**[22:23] sign**
The fact that you can watch the anime
the same day the comic comes out...
**[22:26] sign**
It's kind of an experiment, in its own way.
**[22:31] sign**
The comics have a newly-drawn cover,
different from the Taiwanese version.
**[22:37] sign**
There's also some new mini-comics you can
only read here and some fold-out pages.
**[22:42] sign**
So I think you'll want to pick
it up to read all the extras.
**[22:47] sign**
We also have a really impressive
cast for the anime,
**[22:53] sign**
and if you buy the comic,
you'll get a lottery ticket,
**[22:55] sign**
that could earn you voice actor autographs,
**[22:58] sign**
copies of the script
autographed by the full cast.
**[23:02] sign**
So if you want a chance to win, make
sure to check out the comics, too.

The police officer at the

The lab where the data's kept

to get back home like this...
**[04:45] suno**
My dog form can't handle lightning...
**[04:49] tan**
Clothes! Clothes!
**[04:50] ai**
Guess you won't be turning into
a dog until the lightning stops.
**[04:54] tan**
We can just walk, then. Let's go.
**[04:56] ashi**
Tani-chan, may I?
**[04:58] ai**
Need a potty break!
**[04:59] ashi**
I need to go to the bathroom!
**[05:01] tan**
Hold it until we're out of here!
**[05:03] ai**
Are you telling me to pee outside?!
**[05:06] tan**
Don't you always?
**[05:08] both**
Do you not get that I'm a woman?!
**[05:12] tan**
Fine...
**[05:18] lab**
I can't believe those famous researchers
were living in a place like this.
**[05:23] lab**
You remember what their thesis was about?
**[05:26] lab**
I'm not sure I'd call that research...
**[05:28] lab**
Yeah, it was more like fantasy.
**[05:31] lab**
But why would people that talented
be doing research like that?
**[05:35] lab**
I'm pretty sure my professor said...
**[05:38] lab**
Did this blow in from outside?
**[05:41] lab**
You think?
**[05:46] lab**
Were there women in this area?
**[05:48] lab**
You think it's a ghost?
**[05:50] lab**
Try to act a little like a scientist, okay?
**[05:53] tan**
Hide! Hide!
**[05:55] tan**
Get in here!
**[05:56] lab**
Paranormal studies is a legitimate science.
**[05:59] lab**
Fine, fine. We'll check it out, then.
**[06:07] tan**
We'll just have to go on the offensive!
**[06:11] tan**
Hey, is someone in there?
**[06:21] man**
Well, want to grab something to eat?
**[06:24] man**
Yesterday I was watching TV and I saw...
**[06:30] man**
*I finally get to meet those kids!*
**[06:37] man**
A-Are you...
**[06:39] man**
*Is this girl one of the children?*
**[06:44] sui**
Yes, I am.
**[06:51] sui**
Are you the landlord I've heard about?
**[06:54] la**
Are you Suishi-chan?
**[06:56] la**
Yes.
**[06:58] la**
I saw you in the documents.
**[07:01] la**
Why are you sitting on the stairs, though?
**[07:04] la**
*Wait... did she come out to meet me?*
**[07:08] la**
I don't have a key.
**[07:11] la**
Everyone went out. I'm watching the house.
**[07:16] land**
*Where did the others go?*
**[07:18] land**
*Are they not coming back?*
**[07:20] land**
*They're not shunning her, are they?*
**[07:23] sui**
*So annoying.*
**[07:25] land**
Anyway, let's go inside.
**[07:29] land**
Here.
**[07:34] land**
Welcome to my house... or so I'd like to say,
**[07:37] land**
but it looks like you've already
gotten pretty settled in.
**[07:52] land**
*Hang in there, man! Don't lose it!*
**[07:55] land**
Just think of a topic...
**[07:58] land**
I suppose I should introduce myself.
**[08:01] land**
My name is Yu Kaito.
**[08:05] land**
C-Call me Kuma-san!
**[08:08] land**
My profession is...
**[08:09] sui**
Drink.
**[08:13] land**
Okay, maybe I will!
**[08:15] sui**
It might calm you down.
**[08:17] land**
Erk!
**[08:20] land**
Oh, boy...
**[08:24] land**
*I wonder when the others are coming back.*
**[08:26] land**
*I'm so bad at one-on-one...*
**[08:28] sui**
I'm going to wash up.
**[08:34] sui**
*Come back soon, Tanisu.*
**[08:55] tan**
Something fell!
**[08:58] suno**
The light's on inside the room.
**[09:00] suno**
Is Suishi warning us?
**[09:02] land**
Could that be the others coming back?
**[09:07] tan**
Guys, take your medicine!
**[09:09] ai**
No way!
**[09:10] tan**
Just bear it for now!
**[09:15] land**
What's going on here?!
**[09:20] tan**
Are you our landlord?
**[09:22] land**
Y-Yes.
**[09:24] land**
Well, first... Would you all like to wash up?
**[09:43] all**
Looks delicious!
**[09:45] all**
Let's eat!
**[09:53] suno**
Isn't it good?
**[09:54] suno**
That one's mine!
**[09:59] ashi**
What is this called? I love it!
**[10:03] land**
It's called pizza! You've never had it?
**[10:09] land**
Pizza is delicious!
**[10:10] land**
*I'm so glad they're all in good spirits.*
**[10:13] land**
Now that you're all here, I should
probably introduce myself again.
**[10:22] land**
My name is Yu Kaito. Call me Kuma-san!
**[10:34] land**
I've been so busy, I haven't been
able to take proper care of you...
**[10:38] tan**
It's awful!
**[10:40] tan**
We're living in this unfamiliar place,
and you never explained anything to us!
**[10:44] land**
I see... I'm sorry!
**[10:46] tan**
I spent every day stressing out
over what might happen to us!
**[10:53] suno**
You're being a bit rude.
**[10:56] tan**
Who cares?! He's a good person.
**[10:59] sui**
Did you forget what
happened with the tutor?
**[11:02] tan**
He's got "nice guy" written
all over his face!
**[11:06] tan**
Compared to her, the landlord
is really nice person!
**[11:09] tan**
Sumire-chan, too!
**[11:13] suno**
*What happened after that?*
**[11:25] lab**
Is anyone here?
**[11:29] tan**
No choice... We'll just have to do it!
**[11:38] lab**
A dog?
**[11:43] lab**
A stray?
**[11:48] ai**
Heck, we should've just started with this!
**[11:51] tan**
I was hoping to keep things
as quiet as possible.
**[11:54] tan**
Let's hurry, before they wake up.
**[11:57] tan**
I'll find the pup. You guys head for the lab.
**[12:00] tan**
We'll meet up on the beach in 30 minutes!
**[12:05] ashi**
Let's scare them!
**[12:10] ai**
Doesn't that hurt?
**[12:12] ashi**
I'll be fine, but don't try this at home.
**[12:41] tan**
Is this where you've been hiding?
**[12:46] tan**
Sorry for forcing you before...
**[12:53] tan**
Well, let's get going.
**[13:01] (Flashback) tan**
C'mon!
**[13:11] tan**
Let's go.
**[13:28] ai**
No one's here. C'mon, quick!
**[13:46] ai**
Nothing beats your own bed!
**[14:08] ai**
What is it?
**[14:09] ai**
Hey, that's...
**[14:14] ai**
I wonder if we'll ever get to live here again.
**[14:44] (Flashback) tan**
Okay, so this means...
**[14:55] (Flashback) tan**
What color do you think?
**[14:57] (Flashback) tan**
Let's make a house for everyone!
**[15:08] (Flashback) shi**
Wow!
**[15:24] tan**
Let's go.
**[15:30] tan**
We need to go.
**[15:35] tan**
Please.
**[15:51] land**
Once again, welcome, everyone!
**[16:00] land**
Starting today, this will be your new home!
**[16:32] lab**
That dog was...
**[16:34] lab**
Wait. First, look at this.
**[16:36] [SONG] sign**

**[16:38] [SONG] sign**

**[16:42] lab**

**[16:42] [SONG] sign**
No boys allowed♥
**[16:44] lab**
Paranormal studies are an
important scientific field.
**[16:46] lab**
You're kidding me!
***SIGN*** Frankenstein Extras!
**[18:22] sign**
*Frankenstein Extras!*
***SIGN*** Today's theme is...
**[18:25] sign**
*Today's theme is...*
**[18:27] sign**
Everyone, hello.
**[18:30] sign**
I am the protagonist!
**[18:32] sign**
I play the protagonist...
**[18:34] sign**
Ashisu!
**[18:37] sign**
It's kind of disheartening
to do this by myself.
**[18:40] sign**
That's a joke, actually.
**[18:41] sign**
I'm Hayami Saori and I play
the oldest daughter, Ashisu.
***SIGN*** Ashisu 16 years old, eldest daughter. She has plant DNA, so she can grow plants from her body at will.
***SIGN*** Ashisu
Hayami Saori
**[18:45] sign**
Nice to meet you.
**[18:47] sign**
I have these flipboards, and I heard that
everyone answered the question on it.
**[18:53] sign**
"If you were going to be modified,
what power would you want?"
**[19:00] sign**
Hmm... I wouldn't want any
modifications that would hurt.
**[19:07] sign**
So, like... doing this, and water comes out.
**[19:14] sign**
Like... fwoosh.
**[19:16] sign**
People in the studio run
out of drinks and such.
**[19:21] sign**
So if someone ran out of water, I'd say...
**[19:24] sign**
"Here!"
**[19:26] sign**
and refresh them.
**[19:29] sign**
It's a bit cliche, but I'd love
a body that doesn't get tired.
**[19:37] sign**
I can stay up as long as I want, and
I'm not adversely affected at all.
**[19:42] sign**
I could have fun late into the night.
**[19:47] sign**
I mean... I could work late into the night!
**[19:51] sign**
And a third?
**[19:52] sign**
A third?
**[19:54] sign**
The ability to know tomorrow's weather.
**[19:59] sign**
If I knew tomorrow's weather,
I'd know if I had to wear tall boots.
**[20:05] sign**
Of course, I can just look
at the weather forecast!
**[20:08] sign**
What, then...
**[20:09] sign**
I know!
**[20:11] sign**
The ability to create other modified humans!
**[20:17] sign**
It's a bit like using magic.
**[20:20] sign**
The power to give out powers to other people.
**[20:26] sign**
First, the ability to create water.
**[20:30] sign**
Water comes out of my body, but I
never get tired, no matter what I do.
**[20:37] sign**
And as a result of not getting tired, I can
give modifications to the people around me.
**[20:47] sign**
I would make more modified
humans all around the world.
**[20:52] sign**
The other voice actors are
doing it, so they asked me.
***SIGN*** Snow 17 years old, the oldest of the five siblings He was fused with a white dog and can maintain human, canine, and half-dog forms.
***SIGN*** Snow
Namikawa Daisuke
**[20:59] sign**
So then they locked me in this room.
**[21:04] sign**
Is that it? Okay.
**[21:08] sign**
Ta-da.
**[21:09] sign**
"If you were going to be modified,
what power would you want?"
***SIGN*** If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
**[21:16] sign**
Well, that's the kind of
thing you ask little kids...
**[21:20] sign**
Let's see. I've had a lot of dreams.
**[21:24] sign**
For instance, I want to be
a car. I want to be a plane.
**[21:28] sign**
I think all little boys think that
at some point in their lives.
**[21:32] sign**
We want to be able to
transform into other things.
**[21:35] sign**
To be able to press a button
and my voice comes out.
**[21:41] sign**
I want to be modified to do that.
**[21:43] sign**
I say that to my manager a lot.
**[21:47] sign**
"I can't just press a button
and have my voice come out!"
**[21:54] sign**
"I know that," my manager says.
***SIGN*** Manager
***SIGN*** I know that
**[21:56] sign**
I'm human, so it's hard for me to
speak properly right after I wake up.
**[22:03] sign**
They say it takes about six hours
for the human voice to wake up.
**[22:08] sign**
But if you have a morning recording,
that means you don't get to sleep.
**[22:14] sign**
It ends badly.
**[22:16] sign**
So I wish I could just press a button and
get a nice high-pitched voice to come out.
**[22:20] sign**
Press a button and get a nice
deep voice to come out.
**[22:23] sign**
Let me bark like a dog on command.
**[22:24] sign**
I'd love to get modified to do that.
**[22:29] sign**
If anyone can make that
happen, please contact me.
***SIGN*** Please do not contact him.
**[22:35] sign**
Can we do that? Of course we can.
**[22:37] inter**
So what kind of button would it be?
**[22:40] nami**
I think you'd want the button to be casual.
**[22:44] nami**
Do you mind if I press the
button and see what happens?
**[22:49] nami**
Oh, I see.
**[22:51] nami**
Yeah, see... Just a minute.
**[22:53] nami**
Try to press it.
**[22:55] nami**
Here I go.
**[22:58] nami**
Hello!
**[22:59] nami**
See, what kind of bad
quality voice actor am I?
**[23:05] nami**
Could you stop messing with
my body, please? Honestly...
***SIGN*** Thank you for your cooperation.

Morning, Tanisu.
**[03:02] ashi**
Good morning, Tani-chan.
**[03:05] ai**
He's still half-asleep.
**[03:09] land**
Wash up, then eat with us.
**[03:15] tan**
* We'll be living with the*
* landlord starting today.*
**[03:24] ai**
It ain't as good as bugs,
but it ain't bad, either.
**[03:28] ashi**
It seems sufficiently nutritious!
**[03:32] su**
Tasty!
**[03:34] su**
I've lost all interest in dog food.
**[03:37] land**
What kind of life have you kids been living?
**[03:40] land**
I suppose you had a nice rest?
**[03:43] tan**
Yeah, I haven't had a bed in so long.
**[03:47] tan**
Usually, Snow-niisan and I are
stuck sleeping on the floor.
**[03:50] land**
*Is that why he was so grumpy last night?*
**[03:54] tan**
*The thing worrying me the most is...*
**[03:56] tan**
*when my sisters will return to normal.*
**[04:00] tan**
* Given past experience, it won't*
* last longer than 24 hours.*
**[04:05] tan**
*It's already been 12 hours since last night.*
**[04:08] tan**
*It could happen any minute...*
**[04:11] tan**
* I've got plenty pills left,*
* but want to avoid multiple doses,*
**[04:14] tan**
*since they might aggravate the side effects.*
**[04:18] land**
Everyone!
**[04:19] land**
Would you guys like to go
mountain climbing today?
**[04:22] land**
It seems like you went
to the beach yesterday,
**[04:24] land**
so I thought the mountains for today!
**[04:26] land**
It's a good time of year for it, too.
**[04:27] tan**
*Mountain climbing?*
**[04:29] land**
There are lots of unusual
things in the mountains,
**[04:31] land**
and the view from the top is fantastic!
**[04:33] tan**
* And if something went wrong, the girls*
* could hide out in the mountains!*
**[04:37] ai**
Fine by me.
**[04:38] ashi**
Yeah. We'll let Tani-chan decide.
**[04:41] tan**
Let's go, then.
**[04:42] tan**
Get ready, everyone.
**[04:43] tan**
Okay!
**[04:45] land**
*These kids are kind of weird.*
**[04:48] land**
*The youngest is the leader?*
**[04:55] ashi**
A photosynthesis buffet!
**[05:04] tan**
It's just an ordinary mountain path.
**[05:07] land**
* He must have been raised in*
* a precipitous environment...*
**[05:09] ashi**
Ah, look!
**[05:12] ashi**
This tree is just like the one at our house!
**[05:15] ashi**
Let me see!
**[05:18] tan**
*Aisuri-neesan seems pretty calm,*
**[05:21] tan**
* but I think the dog in Snow-niisan*
* has reached its limit.*
**[05:24] suno**
When I'm in a wide-open space,
my dog blood starts itching!
**[05:29] tan**
Ashisu-neesan is having fun.
**[05:31] suno**
But Aisuri isn't acting like herself...
**[05:36] tan**
Not like herself?
**[05:37] tan**
Let me have it!
**[05:38] tan**
Just for a minute.
**[05:39] sumi**
Stop that!
**[05:41] sumi**
The poor thing...
**[05:42] sumi**
Shut up!
**[05:43] tan**
It's Sumire-chan!
**[05:46] tan**
Sumire-chan! What are you up to?
**[05:49] tan**
Kanisu?
**[05:51] land**
Who's that?
**[05:53] sui**
Tanisu's goddess.
**[05:54] land**
Oh, to be young again!
**[05:59] tan**
What are you doing here?
**[06:01] tan**
Who are they?
**[06:04] sum**
They're my classmates.
**[06:06] sum**
We're on a class trip here.
**[06:10] tan**
I see...
**[06:13] sum**
I told you to stop it!
**[06:20] tan**
Spiders are beneficial insects!
**[06:21] tan**
Leave it alone!
**[06:25] sumi**
Yeah!
**[06:26] boy**
I don't care if they're
useful! They're creepy!
**[06:29] sumi**
But...
**[06:31] tan**
* What would Aisuri-neesan*
* say if she heard that?*
**[06:35] land**
Hey kids, you shouldn't tease living things.
**[06:38] land**
If you do... it could become
a monster and take revenge!
**[06:47] land**
That's dumb.
**[06:48] land**
*What little jerks!*
**[06:52] boy**
These bugs are just creepy!
**[06:54] boy**
Who cares if I kill a few?
**[06:56] sumi**
Stop!
**[07:05] tan**
Aisuri-neesan?
**[07:07] ai**
It's already dead.
**[07:11] ai**
See?
**[07:15] ai**
What are you doing?!
**[07:16] ai**
What, you're not gonna eat it?
**[07:19] ai**
Why'd you kill it, then?
**[07:21] boy**
I didn't kill it!
**[07:24] ai**
You damaged its web.
**[07:26] ai**
It takes a lot of work to make.
**[07:32] ai**
Humans are strange creatures.
**[07:33] tan**
Aisuri-neesan! Don't do it here!
**[07:36] ai**
You shouldn't waste food, though!
**[07:43] ai**
Miss! Miss!
**[07:48] ai**
What?
**[07:50] girl**
Your hair is so pretty!
**[07:53] girl**
It's slightly curly, like a foreign girl's!
**[07:58] ai**
This is pretty?
**[08:00] girl**
Yeah! Really pretty!
**[08:02] girl**
Were you born with it that way?
**[08:05] ai**
I don't wanna talk about it. Get lost.
**[08:07] ashi**
My big sister is very brave and kind,
**[08:11] ashi**
so God gave her beautiful hair as a reward.
**[08:15] girl**
A reward.
**[08:16] girl**
Then I'll protect Hikari-chan
and Nozomi-chan!
**[08:19] girl**
Me, too! I'll protect you, Aoi-chan!
**[08:22] girl**
Me, too!
**[08:23] ai**
This all sounds like you're making fun of me.
**[08:26] ashi**
It's true.
**[08:28] ashi**
Your hair is very beautiful, Aisuri.
**[08:31] ashi**
And you are courageous and kind.
**[08:36] ai**
Stop talking like that.
**[08:45] ai**
This stuff... it wasn't
a gift from God at all.
**[08:50] ashi**
Aisuri, you yourself are a gift
from God to the rest of us.
**[08:59] woman**
Everyone, come over here!
**[09:03] woman**
Okay, goodbye!
**[09:08] sumi**
Does it hurt?
**[09:10] sumi**
Allow me to apologize on their behalf. For...
**[09:15] suno**
It's all right.
**[09:17] suno**
I wish I could have saved it, though...
**[09:21] suno**
Sumire-chan, come along now!
**[09:25] suno**
She's calling you.
**[09:29] sumi**
R-Right!
**[09:34] land**
Okay, everyone!
**[09:36] land**
That's all wrapped up, so let's get going!
**[09:39] land**
We're almost to the goal!
**[09:45] tan**
A windmill!
**[09:49] ---**
In Netherlands...
**[09:50] tan**
Sumire-chan's here, too!
**[09:55] tan**
Hey, Sumire-chan!
**[09:58] teach**
Okay! You're free to wander now.
**[10:02] teach**
Make sure you know the time
and place for the meet-up!
**[10:04] teach**
Okay!
**[10:05] land**
Okay, let's go. We'll hit the windmill first.
**[10:11] tan**
Sorry, can Snow-niisan go off on his own?
**[10:16] land**
You don't like windmills?
**[10:18] tan**
Um...
**[10:22] tan**
I think he's gonna poop his pants!
**[10:25] land**
R-Really?
**[10:26] land**
There's a bathroom up ahead.
**[10:28] land**
Be careful on the way back, okay?
**[10:30] tan**
Great! Snow-niisan, you can
put your clothes in there.
**[10:34] land**
What? He can't do it unless
he takes off all his clothes?
**[10:42] sumi**
How pretty!
**[10:46] tan**
* Getting to run around with*
* Sumire-chan... it's just like a date!*
**[10:50] tan**
*Maybe it* is *a date!*
**[10:55] sumi**
Look at that white doggy!
**[10:57] tan**
Snow-niisan!
**[10:59] tan**
I see your classmates from before, too...
**[11:02] sumi**
Oh, yeah!
**[11:04] girl**
Hey, John! Don't write our names there!
**[11:08] man**
It's good luck. It'll let us
stay together forever.
**[11:14] tan**
* What would Ashisu-neesan*
* think if she saw this?*
**[11:26] sum**
Oh, is that man with the
white hair your brother?
**[11:30] tan**
Yeah, that's Snow-niisan.
**[11:32] sumi**
*He seemed nice!*
**[11:34] suno**
*What is it, Sumire?*
**[11:45] ai**
This wind...
**[11:47] ai**
It feels great.
**[11:51] ai**
Reading minds, like Suishi?
**[11:53] ashi**
It's known as "thought transference."
**[11:59] ai**
We look so different...
**[12:03] ashi**
...but we are unquestionably twins.
**[12:10] ashi**
Aisuri?
**[12:16] tan**
And then, Ashisu-neesan said—
**[12:19] sui**
Tanisu.
**[12:20] sui**
Ashisu-neesan went running
after Aisuri-neesan.
**[12:25] sui**
The time has come.
**[12:27] tan**
I'm off! You handle things here!
**[12:31] land**
What's with him?
**[12:35] sui**
He needs the bathroom, perhaps.
**[12:37] land**
*Was there a problem with my breakfast?*
**[12:45] tan**
* I told them to hide in the mountains*
* if the medicine started wearing off!*
**[13:00] tan**
Wait, Aisuri!
**[13:04] ai**
Stay back!
**[13:10] ai**
Run away while you can still move.
**[13:14] ashi**
I can't!
**[13:18] ai**
I might eat you!
**[13:27] ashi**
Stupid.
**[13:28] ashi**
I'm...
**[13:32] ashi**
the same way you are...
**[13:42] ai**
Dammit!
**[13:44] ashi**
* When I was little, I convinced*
* myself it was just a bad dream.*
**[13:58] ashi**
*But it wasn't a dream.*
**[14:06] aisu**
*Ashisu and I are twins.*
**[14:09] aisu**
* We're a little different,*
* but we really are twins.*
**[14:23] boy**
Ron.
**[14:25] boy**
You searching for spiders again?
**[14:27] boy**
I don't have to search for
spiders to find them!
**[14:31] boy**
Look!
**[14:41] ashi**
*No! Aisuri, don't do it!*
**[14:44] (Flashback) ashi**
Mama!
**[14:46] (Flashback) ashi**
Can you tell which is which?
**[14:50] (Flashback) mom**
Oh, please. You're totally different.
**[14:54] (Flashback) mom**
That's not true.
**[14:57] (Flashback) mom**
Compare our hairstyles!
**[15:01] (Flashback) mom**
Compare our eyes!
**[15:05] (Flashback) mom**
Compare our shadows!
**[15:08] (Flashback) dad**
Yes, the more you grow,
the more alike you seem to look.
**[15:13] (Flashback) dad**
We could have filmed a superhero movie
about a spider-woman and a plant-woman.
**[15:19] (Flashback) both**
What's a movie?
**[15:22] (Flashback) dad**
You don't need to know such things.
**[15:32] boy**
Help!
**[15:35] ashi**
Over here!
**[15:44] ashi**
Run!
**[15:52] ashi**
*My body is hardening up.*
**[15:54] ashi**
*I don't have much time...*
**[15:56] ashi**
*Tani-chan!*
**[16:16] ashi**
*I can't let her reach a populated area.*
**[16:19] ashi**
*So...*

**[18:07] sign**
*Today's theme is...*
**[18:09] sign**
I'm Yuuyu, and I'm in charge of the
background music for *Frankenstein Family*.
***SIGN*** Yuuyu
Composer (Background Music) for *Frankenstein Family*
**[18:17] sign**
A pleasure to meet you.
***SIGN*** What did you think when you were put in charge of the music?
**[18:39] sign**
When they first proposed it, I found
it to be a very curious work.
***SIGN*** *Face not shown at subject's request
**[18:45] sign**
It's not the kind of story I read very often.
**[18:48] sign**
I thought about it from several
directions, about how to approach it,
**[18:51] sign**
before starting up.
**[18:53] sign**
I'd done opening and ending themes
for various anime in the past,
**[18:59] sign**
but this was my first time doing BGM.
**[19:02] sign**
An opening theme has to sort of
summarize the show as a whole.
**[19:07] sign**
So you want to do something
**[19:08] sign**
that really impresses on
people what the show is like.
**[19:11] sign**
There were more things I had to adapt
to scene by scene in the moment.
**[19:16] sign**
It was nerve-wracking, but I gave it my best.
***SIGN*** What's the most important part of the music?
**[19:23] sign**
It shouldn't be too dispassionate,
**[19:25] sign**
but you also don't want drastic
developments coming out of nowhere.
**[19:29] sign**
It's a work that proceeds
with a very curious tone.
**[19:33] sign**
Given what they told me, I decided
to go with mainly piano,
**[19:38] sign**
but then add or take away
instruments where appropriate.
**[19:45] sign**
The "family" part of the work is very strong,
so I wanted to express that with music.
**[19:51] sign**
The melodies are mostly similar,
but the accompaniment changes,
**[19:56] sign**
and I apply the same motifs
differently into various songs.
**[20:01] sign**
It gives you a different atmosphere
in different locations.
**[20:03] sign**
It brings a feeling of family
to the whole work.
**[20:07] sign**
I hope people enjoy that part of it.
***SIGN*** What's your personal favorite song?
**[20:14] sign**
I've composed a few dozen
songs for the show,
**[20:17] sign**
but there's a song that
communicates "determination"...
**[20:23] sign**
It starts off soft, and as you get to the
second half, it suddenly gets louder,
**[20:30] sign**
and the melody develops, too.
**[20:35] sign**
It's a very melodious piece.
**[20:38] sign**
I think it was my favorite piece
to compose. I really like it.
***SIGN*** Song that expresses "Determination"
***SIGN*** Who is your favorite character
in *Frankenstein Family*?
***SIGN*** Who is your favorite character
in *Frankenstein Family*?
**[22:00] sign**
Let's see. All the characters are unique.
**[22:05] sign**
They all reject the typical cliches.
**[22:08] sign**
But personally, I like Snow-niisan,
**[22:13] sign**
both for his personality and the
fact that he's merged with a dog.
**[22:19] sign**
I always liked animals,
**[22:21] sign**
so the way he'll turn into a dog on a dime
**[22:25] sign**
is something I really like.
**[22:30] sign**
Hey, you dumb mutt!
**[22:33] sign**
My dog side doesn't handle
this atmosphere well,
**[22:36] sign**
and I've always wanted to try chopsticks...
**[22:38] sign**
This is much harder than I imagined it to be!
**[22:42] sign**
Tanisu does it so well...
***SIGN*** Give a message to our viewers!
**[22:47] sign**
There are a lot more developments
to come in *Frankenstein Family*.
**[22:52] sign**
How will Tanisu's feelings develop?
**[22:56] sign**
What will happen to the
family and the siblings?
**[23:00] sign**
I'm really looking forward to it.
**[23:02] sign**
I hope you enjoy it all along with the music.
**[23:07] sign**
Thank you for having me.

Snow!

Turn human already!
**[02:59] (Flashback) girls**
Hide and seek again?
**[03:01] (Flashback) girls**
Got it!
**[03:03] (Flashback) girls**
Yeah!
**[03:06] (Flashback) girls**
Rock-paper-scissors!
**[03:10] (Flashback) snow**
Yeah—
**[03:10] (Flashback) snow**
The odd man out is "it"!
**[03:14] (Flashback) snow**
Count all the way to 10, okay?
**[03:31] tan**
There are too many smells here...
**[03:56] ashi**
I know. Let's play hide-and-seek
like we used to, Aisuri...
**[04:21] ashi**
Found you...
**[04:43] (Flashback) ashi**
So fast!
**[04:51] (Flashback) ashi**
Okay. I'll help find Aisuri, too!
**[04:58] (Flashback) ashi**
I don't think she's over here!
**[05:01] (Flashback) ashi**
She might be hiding at home!
**[05:05] (Flashback) ashi**
Wh-Why are you coming at me?!
**[05:16] (Flashback) snow**
You're Aisuri, right?
**[05:20] (Flashback) ai**
Aw... how'd you know?
**[05:24] (Flashback) ashi**
How could you tell?
**[05:29] (Flashback) snow**
Because you're both completely different.
**[05:45] ashi**
Your hair... it's all messed up.
**[06:05] (Flashback) ai**
Dammit! I can't believe he
found us out that quick!
**[06:08] (Flashback) ashi**
Maybe they really *can* tell?
**[06:10] (Flashback) ai**
Next time, for sure—
**[06:12] (Flashback) ai**
Look out!
**[06:17] (Flashback) ai**
Are you okay?
**[06:18] (Flashback) ai**
Yeah...
**[06:24] (Flashback) ai**
Mama! Mama! Emergency!
**[06:28] (Flashback) ai**
My hair's all whirly!
**[06:31] (Flashback) ai**
Is she gonna die?!
**[06:32] (Flashback) mom**
Oh, you touched that fluid?
**[06:35] (Flashback) dad**
What's this? What have you
been up to, all in secret?
**[06:38] (Flashback) ashi**
Hey, is Aisuri going to die?
**[06:41] (Flashback) mom**
No.
**[06:43] (Flashback) ashi**
Oh, thank goodness!
**[06:47] (Flashback) ai**
But what is this?!
**[06:48] (Flashback) mom**
A formula for changing hair type.
**[06:51] (Flashback) mom**
It was so powerful that the hair never
turned back, so we halted our research.
**[06:56] (Flashback) ai**
Oh, no! Mama, you gotta keep researching it!
**[06:59] (Flashback) ai**
Turn my hair back to normal!
**[07:04] (Flashback) mom**
I can't.
**[07:07] (Flashback) mom**
I'm not interested in it anymore, after all.
**[07:09] (Flashback) mom**
If you hate it so much, why don't you
and Ashisu both shave your heads?
**[07:13] (Flashback) dad**
Slick and shiny!
**[07:15] (Flashback) dad**
Slick and shiny?!
**[07:24] (Flashback) ai**
We're not coming down from here
until you turn my hair back!
**[07:28] (Flashback) dad**
She seems pretty mad.
**[07:30] (Flashback) mom**
That's impressive craftsmanship, though.
**[07:32] (Flashback) mom**
We'll leave them be.
**[07:34] (Flashback) mom**
A child's tantrum can't
last more than two days.
**[07:37] (Flashback) dad**
True! This is an important
time for Suishi, too.
**[07:42] (Flashback) ai**
They left!
**[07:43] (Flashback) ai**
Ashisu, you'll fight with me, right?
**[07:49] (Flashback) ai**
Yeah!
**[07:50] (Flashback) ai**
Of course I will!
**[08:13] ashi**
I want us to be the same.
**[08:25] ashi**
*To talk together.*
**[08:27] ashi**
*To eat together.*
**[08:29] ashi**
*To play together.*
**[08:31] ashi**
*To sleep together.*
**[08:33] ashi**
*Because...*
**[08:37] ashi**
*since the day we were born...*
**[08:39] ashi**
*we have always been together.*
**[08:42] ashi**
*Even if our powers are different,*
**[08:45] ashi**
*we know.*
**[08:48] ashi**
*We are the same!*
**[08:53] ashi**
No matter what you look
like, you're still Aisuri.
**[09:22] boy**
Help!
**[09:28] boy**
There's a m-monster is in the forest!
**[09:31] boy**
A huge spider!
**[09:33] boy**
Huge spider? As big as your face?
**[09:36] boy**
It was bigger than Ron!
**[09:38] boy**
Stop lying. No spider's that big.
**[09:42] boy**
We don't even get bears around here.
**[09:44] boy**
You probably just saw a boar.
**[09:46] boy**
It's true!
**[09:48] land**
Hey, kids...
**[09:49] land**
Excuse me!
**[09:52] land**
Have you seen a young man
with white hair and a boy?
**[09:56] boy**
No, but if they're in there,
they probably got eaten.
**[10:00] boy**
Wait, there was that girl
who told us to run away...
**[10:04] boy**
You don't think...
**[10:06] land**
Suishi-chan, let's find them.
**[10:10] sui**
I'm not going.
**[10:12] land**
Aren't you worried about them, though?
**[10:18] land**
Will you take me to the place
you were talking about?
**[10:24] sui**
*I wish he'd butt out...*
**[10:37] tan**
There they are!
**[11:06] tan**
I never realized their complete forms
had progressed to this degree...
**[11:12] tan**
You think their aggressive instincts
collided, and it ended in a draw?
**[11:16] tan**
Or...
**[11:18] snow**
I'd like to find a way to turn
them back quickly, but...
**[11:22] tan**
No need to rush. They'll be
back to normal soon.
**[11:26] tan**
I don't get a chance like this often, so while
I'm here, I'd better do some research!
**[11:31] tan**
I might be able to create a medicine that
preserves their human forms indefinitely!
**[11:52] tan**
I really am a genius!
**[12:55] both**
We're back!
**[12:56] both**
Thank goodness!
**[12:58] tan**
First, let's get your disguises ready.
**[13:02] both**
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
**[13:06] tan**
They look so happy... are they that
glad to be back to the way they were?
**[13:12] snow**
Well... to them, the way they
are now is the real them.
**[13:18] snow**
If I couldn't become a dog, if you weren't
a genius... you'd hate it, wouldn't you?
***SIGN*** Like something's missing...
**[13:24] snow**
It would be like something's missing.
**[13:26] tan**
Is that it?
**[13:36] tan**
* If you become human, you'll be*
* able to do all kinds of things!*
**[13:44] tan**
*If...*
**[13:47] tan**
*it turns out I can't perfect the medicine,*
**[13:51] tan**
* where in the world will we find*
* anyone that will accept my siblings?*
**[13:59] (Flashback) tan**
You'll make a fine guinea pig.
**[14:08] tan**
Mr. Landlord!
**[14:10] land**
They're saying a giant spider
monster showed up around here!
**[14:14] land**
Is everybody safe?
**[14:17] boy**
You saw it, right?!
**[14:19] boy**
Anyway... we found them,
so let's get out of here quick!
**[14:31] tan**
There we go!
**[14:38] tan**
*I think, maybe...*
**[14:41] tan**
*maybe he'd accept us.*
**[14:50] (Flashback) ai**
I wish I had the same hair as you, Ashisu.
**[14:53] (Flashback) ashi**
But I...
**[15:02] (Flashback) snow**
Aisuri!
**[15:05] (Flashback) snow**
Come down! Let's have a snack.
**[15:08] (Flashback) snow**
I gathered up all your favorite bugs!
**[15:10] (Flashback) ai**
Snow...
**[15:11] (Flashback) ai**
Now that I think about it,
this is all your fault!
**[15:15] (Flashback) ai**
Come with us!
**[15:22] (Flashback) ai**
He won't be able to guess this time.
**[15:24] (Flashback) ashi**
Try to guess which one is which!
**[15:28] (Flashback) ashi**
Why do you two want to be the same?
**[15:32] (Flashback) ai**
Because we're twins.
**[15:34] (Flashback) ai**
Do twins have to be the same?
**[15:38] (Flashback) ai**
Of course we do!
**[15:39] (Flashback) ai**
Because Ashisu and I are together!
**[15:41] (Flashback) ai**
Still...
**[15:42] (Flashback) ai**
You're just changing the subject
because you can't tell!
**[15:45] (Flashback) snow**
I can tell!
**[15:46] (Flashback) snow**
The one who's been talking
all this time is Aisuri!
**[15:49] (Flashback) snow**
Ashisu always does what Aisuri says.
**[15:51] (Flashback) snow**
So you're not the same at all!
**[15:54] (Flashback) snow**
And...
**[16:02] (Flashback) snow**
Snow, you idiot!
**[16:04] (Flashback) snow**
Stop it, Aisuri.
**[16:06] (Flashback) snow**
Oh, Aisuri, you're so silly sometimes...
**[16:22] (Flashback) dad**
Hmm? Did you come down?
**[16:25] (Flashback) dad**
You and Ashisu aren't together?
**[16:29] (Flashback) ai**
It's okay not to be the same.
**[16:36] ai**
*You're still the Aisuri I know.*
**[16:39] ai**
*We'll always be together.*

Sumire: Kubo Yurika
***SIGN*** March 2018 Ariake, Tokyo
***SIGN*** This is Japan's biggest anime
event, Anime Japan 2018!
***SIGN*** Held from March 22nd to March 25th
with a total attendance of 152,331!
***SIGN*** Frankenstein Family
***SIGN*** had a booth, too!
***SIGN*** The corner for Sun Comics Project, the site that
publishes *Frankenstein Family*, was also popular!
***SIGN*** On March 24th, the voice cast did a live talk show!
***SIGN*** Some familiar faces to *Frankenstein Extras*
appeared for a pre-show discussion!
***SIGN*** Such rare behind-the-scenes footage! They all look so serious!
***SIGN*** Oh? Who is this?
**[19:11] sign**
I play Yu Kaito, the landlord who takes in
the siblings of the Frankenstein Family.
***SIGN*** Yu Kaito Voice: Horie Kazuma 32 years old, the landlord who takes in the five siblings and is a perpetual research student.
**[19:17] sign**
My name is Horie Kazuma!
**[19:19] sign**
Wash up, then eat with us.
**[19:21] sign**
There are lots of unusual
things in the mountains,
**[19:24] sign**
and the view from the top is fantastic!
**[19:26] sign**
I'm their landlord, but I'm also what
people call a born philanthropist.
**[19:32] sign**
I want to support and help them,
like they were my real family.
**[19:35] sign**
"Does such a kind man
really exist?" You may ask.
**[19:41] sign**
But he can be too kind, too considerate.
**[19:46] sign**
He's the sort of guy who
overthinks everything,
**[19:48] sign**
so the family teases him a lot.
**[19:50] sign**
When I play him, I wonder if
he's a bit of a masochist.
**[19:54] sign**
He's a very kind, appealing character.
**[19:56] sign**
So I hope you enjoy *Frankenstein
Family* along with their landlord.
**[20:01] sign**
Hello everyone! I'm Kubo
Yurika, and I play Sumire!
***SIGN*** Sumire Kubo Yurika
***SIGN*** Kubo Yurika is in the wings backstage!
***SIGN*** Sumire Voice: Kubo Yurika 10 years old, she ends up getting to know Tanisu after a chance meeting on the island.
**[20:11] sign**
Not gonna buy one?
**[20:12] sign**
Um... Well...
**[20:13] sign**
Er...
**[20:16] sign**
Say, "Ah!"
**[20:20] sign**
Ah!
**[20:22] sign**
Sumire is the most ordinary
girl in the whole story.
**[20:31] sign**
She's Tanisu's friend,
**[20:33] sign**
but what will their relationship become?
**[20:36] sign**
How will things develop
as the story proceeds?
**[20:40] sign**
I hope you'll all watch
and see how it turns out.
**[20:43] sign**
See you soon!
***SIGN*** It's time for the talk show!
***SIGN*** Is Sugiyama Rie-san... a little bit nervous?
**[20:49] sign**
Thank you all for coming!
**[20:51] ---**
Yes...
**[20:51] sign**
The most important thing here is that
Sugiyama-san admitted to liking little boys!
**[20:53] ---**
Yeah...
**[20:55] sign**
Yes.
**[20:56] sign**
You really do like them, so...
**[20:58] sign**
Yes!
**[20:59] sign**
Isn't that amazing?
**[20:59] sign**
And you play those parts, too!
**[21:02] sign**
Yes.
**[21:03] sign**
By the way, how old is too old?
**[21:05] sign**
Why are you asking that?
**[21:07] sign**
I think, until their voice changes.
**[21:09] sign**
Until about then.
**[21:10] sign**
So you like your shotas!
**[21:12] sign**
Also, during the recording,
Mori-san wasn't there today.
**[21:17] sign**
Yes, that's right.
**[21:18] sign**
It was mainly girls, and you're all tall,
**[21:21] sign**
and you all drink alcohol.
**[21:23] sign**
I felt like Namikawa-san and
I were driven into a corner.
**[21:26] sign**
That's not true!
**[21:29] sign**
The girls are all very ladylike.
**[21:31] sign**
Yes, we're very quiet.
**[21:33] sign**
But you all change when you're drinking!
**[21:35] sign**
Do we?
**[21:36] sign**
Do we?
**[21:37] sign**
Stop playing innocent!
**[21:39] sign**
But when we drink very heavily,
**[21:43] sign**
we start talking.
**[21:45] sign**
We tell stories, too.
**[21:47] sign**
We all talk about our performance, too.
**[21:49] sign**
Yes, that's right.
**[21:50] sign**
We do that a lot.
**[21:51] sign**
I thought it was amazing.
**[21:53] sign**
But during recording, you're
always debating, right?
**[21:55] sign**
Yes, we are.
**[21:56] sign**
"This scene should go more like this."
**[21:59] sign**
Lots of arguing among the cast.
**[22:01] sign**
But it's not like you're fighting about it.
**[22:03] sign**
Yes, yes.
**[22:04] sign**
It's more like, "It should be like this."
**[22:05] sign**
You talk with the directors.
***SIGN*** In the green room after the talk show ended...
**[22:13] sign**
How is it?
**[22:14] sign**
It's great.
**[22:17] sign**
That's great.
**[22:19] sign**
I was so nervous.
**[22:21] sign**
She won't shut up about how nervous she is.
**[22:24] ---**
Yeah, I was really annoying.
**[22:26] sign**
I wasn't able to attend
the meeting beforehand,
**[22:30] sign**
but things still got really lively,
**[22:32] sign**
so I'm grateful to have
such reliable comrades.
**[22:35] sign**
It was really fun.
**[22:38] sign**
Lots of unique characters will be appearing!
**[22:41] sign**
They might all seem very silly,
but the story is very serious.
**[22:44] sign**
It will make you think about a lot of things.
**[22:46] sign**
I want to be a more generous
person, like the landlord.
**[22:49] sign**
It's a cozy family story,
so I hope you all watch it!
**[22:52] sign**
We hope you keep watching
*Frankenstein Family*!

***SIGN*** Frankenstein Family
**[02:36] tan**
Stop it!
***SIGN*** #8: Observation
**[02:41] tan**
Give it back!
**[02:47] sui**
So annoying...
**[02:48] ai**
Throw this crap away!
**[02:51] tan**
It's important to my research!
**[02:54] tan**
You don't realize how hard
it was to get this!
**[02:58] ai**
Don't you know how much we've
suffered because of those things?!
**[03:01] ai**
You monster!
**[03:05] tan**
Don't worry. We won't use
the medicine anymore.
**[03:13] tan**
*It's only a stopgap anyway. It's not perfect.*
**[03:17] tan**
*Most of all...*
**[03:23] ashi**
* No matter what you look*
* like, you're still Aisuri.*
**[03:31] tan**
*It has those terrible side effects...*
**[03:33] tan**
*This is just a hypothesis,*
**[03:36] tan**
* but I think the landlord*
* might be willing to help us.*
**[03:42] tan**
*I need to figure him out.*
**[03:45] tan**
*Is he really someone we can depend on?*
**[03:59] tan**
Good morning!
**[04:00] tan**
Hey.
**[04:01] tan**
Good morning!
**[04:02] tan**
Morning!
**[04:04] tan**
I thought I'd get you some
new furniture for your rooms.
**[04:09] ai**
Can we eat?
**[04:12] ---**
Ah, hot, hot!
**[04:15] tan**
Are you going to go out to buy it now?
**[04:17] land**
I bought it on the 'net.
**[04:19] land**
The seller actually lives on the island.
**[04:22] ashi**
Yeah, looks great!
**[04:22] ashi**
Looks delicious!
**[04:25] land**
Materials on this island are
transported via waterways.
**[04:29] land**
So buying large items can be a real handful.
***SIGN*** Secondhand Store
**[04:29] [SONG] ---**
Cabinets***SIGN*** Closet Organized Wardrobe
**[04:32] land**
And there are only so many
shops on the island...
**[04:34] land**
So everyone worked together
to open up an online shop.
**[04:38] land**
It's mainly for information exchange,
**[04:41] land**
but there's also a thread for
buying and selling furniture.
**[04:43] tan**
I see!
**[04:45] snow**
Tanisu, what's the "net"?
**[04:48] land**
What? You don't know about the internet?
**[04:51] tan**
Well, our old life was basically like priso—
**[04:55] land**
* Did Tanisu just let something*
* particularly strange slip?*
**[05:00] ai**
I thought you were gonna observe!
**[05:02] tan**
Sorry, I got careless.
**[05:05] land**
I've been thinking... you all seem a
bit naive about how the world works...
**[05:10] land**
But Tanisu-kun, you seem less so.
**[05:12] tan**
Well... I am a genius, after all.
**[05:16] land**
*A genius?*
**[05:24] tan**
*What's with the silence?!*
**[05:29] land**
Once you're finished eating,
let's all go visit the seller.
**[05:32] ashi**
Yay!
**[05:37] ashi**
He seems like a good person!
**[05:40] sui**
I wonder...
**[06:03] snow**
You think it's okay to leave
Suishi and Ashisu behind?
**[06:07] tan**
I bet they're pretty tired after yesterday,
so we should let them rest today.
**[06:12] ai**
Wow! Can I eat that?
**[06:27] tan**
Hey, you two! Let's go already!
**[06:31] land**
Don't worry. Take your time deciding.
**[06:34] land**
I was thinking that on the way
to picking up the furniture,
**[06:36] land**
we could look around at all kinds of things.
**[06:39] tan**
What kinds of things?
**[06:40] land**
We'll be living together for a while, I think.
**[06:43] land**
I mentioned it this morning, but living
on an island can be inconvenient.
**[06:47] land**
People come and go a lot.
**[06:49] land**
I was hoping you'd come to like this place.
**[06:53] land**
Anyway, I think it's about time!
**[06:59] land**
Let's head to the next place!
**[07:00] land**
Okay!
**[07:04] land**
This is a bulletin board for residents.
**[07:08] land**
If you need anything, or you want to tell
someone something, put a note here.
**[07:14] land**
Lots of people will see it.
**[07:16] land**
And here's a picture of the
furniture we're buying!
***SIGN*** Secondhand Items for Sale
**[07:21] tan**
Wow, looks great!
**[07:24] land**
Right?
**[07:28] ai**
Uh-oh!
**[07:30] tan**
Stop it!
**[07:31] ai**
Stupid Tanisu!
**[07:32] tan**
You know I'm a genius!
**[07:36] juice**
Are you babysitting today?
**[07:38] land**
There's a bit of a story behind it...
**[07:40] tan**
Mr. Landlord.
**[07:41] tan**
You keep getting too distracted!
**[07:45] land**
S-Sorry.
**[07:47] tan**
Aren't you supposed to be
teaching us about the island?
**[07:51] land**
What, feeling lonely?
**[07:52] ---**
Here.
**[07:53] tan**
No! No way!
**[07:55] tan**
I just want to see the furniture
as soon as possible!
**[07:59] land**
Got it, got it. We'll stop by one more place.
**[08:01] juice**
Thank you! Come again!
**[08:02] land**
Then we'll go right to the furniture.
**[08:03] ---**
Ah, thanks.
**[08:05] ai**
Tastes weird.
**[08:07] snow**
I think it's pretty tasty, actually.
**[08:14] land**
We're here.
**[08:18] land**
Hey, Wei.
**[08:19] land**
Hey.
**[08:20] land**
Almost everything sold here is secondhand.
**[08:23] land**
And all the profits go to
help the island's animals!
**[08:28] girl**
Um, who are these kids?
**[08:31] tan**
Hey, you're the teacher who was
with Sumire-chan yesterday.
**[08:34] land**
Some things happened,
and now I'm looking after them!
**[08:37] girl**
You think you're some kind
of philanthropist now?
**[08:41] land**
Oh, well, er...
**[09:14] land**
Someone had put some used
furniture on the web,
**[09:17] land**
so I thought we'd all come out
together and haul it back.
**[09:21] land**
Speaking of used...
**[09:23] land**
Everything you're wearing
is stuff we sold here.
**[09:27] tan**
That might be true.
**[09:29] tan**
We always get our clothes
out of the recycling box.
**[09:32] girl**
Oh, I see.
**[09:34] girl**
You put kids in secondhand clothes,
buy them secondhand furniture,
**[09:37] girl**
and even bring them out
here to make them help you.
**[09:40] girl**
What a *spectacular* caregiver you are.
**[09:45] land**
Let's go.
**[09:48] tan**
* That brutal sarcasm...*
* she's a lot like Suishi-neesan.*
**[09:52] ai**
C'mon, let's go.
**[09:59] land**
What?!
**[10:02] land**
It's gone?!
**[10:04] lady**
Remember, you said you wanted
to see it before deciding!
**[10:07] lady**
But someone else wanted it right away.
**[10:10] lady**
Who wouldn't choose the sure thing, you know?
**[10:13] land**
Oh, come on...
**[10:15] land**
You could have at least contacted me...
**[10:18] lady**
I forgot, okay? Sorry.
**[10:20] lady**
Anyway, I think we're done here!
**[10:31] land**
*I messed up...*
**[10:33] land**
* I got their hopes up, and*
* then basically betrayed them.*
**[10:37] land**
*They must be so disappointed...*
**[10:40] land**
*There's the two girls at home, too...*
**[10:43] ashi**
For an adult, you're not
very useful, are you?
**[10:46] sui**
Utterly useless. I was right
not to get my hopes up.
**[10:50] land**
I'm sorry! We should have gone right
to get it instead of wasting time.
**[10:54] land**
It's not much of an apology, but I'll
buy you new furniture right now.
**[11:00] ai**
What's come over him?
**[11:01] tan**
Dunno.
**[11:03] snow**
Suishi mentioned before that
he overthinks everything.
**[11:08] (Flashback) snow**
I was hoping you'd come to like this place.
**[11:13] tan**
Kuma-san.
**[11:17] tan**
Can I call you that?
**[11:19] land**
Y-Yeah.
**[11:22] land**
It's okay.
**[11:25] land**
There's another nice place on this island.
**[11:34] land**
By "nice place"...
**[11:36] land**
you meant the dump?
**[11:38] ai**
Found me a treasure!
**[11:40] tan**
You can call it trash, but...
**[11:45] tan**
As far as I can see, there's tons
of stuff here we can still use!
**[11:50] snow**
The TV in our room is something
Tanisu found and repaired, too.
**[11:55] land**
I told you I'd buy it, though!
**[11:58] land**
There's no need to risk hurting yourselves
**[11:59] land**
searching for things you can recycle!
**[12:04] tan**
It's not about that.
**[12:05] tan**
It just feels like a waste to throw
out things you can still use.
**[12:10] land**
But you were looking forward to it,
too, weren't you?
**[12:16] tan**
It's true that it's nice to have new things.
**[12:19] tan**
But there's something nice about using
things people don't want anymore
**[12:23] tan**
as if they were new.
**[12:25] land**
*They really are strange children...*
**[12:29] land**
*People like new things.*
**[12:31] land**
*That goes double for children.*
**[12:33] ai**
Found you!
**[12:35] snow**
Something for Ashisu and Suishi...
**[12:38] land**
* But they all share a desire*
* not to let things go to waste.*
**[12:42] (Flashback) tan**
I am a genius, after all!
**[12:45] land**
*Little Genius.*
**[12:47] land**
I'll help, too!
**[12:50] land**
*Yu-chan, hey.*
**[12:52] land**
* I think you and these kids*
* might just get along!*
**[13:07] tan**
Okay!
**[13:08] tan**
We've finished everyone's new furniture!
**[13:13] ai**
You okay?
**[13:14] snow**
I'm fine.
**[13:15] land**
Getting a cold?
**[13:16] ai**
It's your fault for not
reserving the furniture!
**[13:19] snow**
Aisuri, that's going too far.
**[13:27] (Flashback) ai**
This room's too small.
**[13:29] (Flashback) tan**
We don't have a choice!
**[13:31] (Flashback) tan**
No one else would take us
in on such short notice.
**[13:36] (Flashback) ai**
Stupid Tanisu!
**[13:38] (Flashback) snow**
I don't think the girls want to
sleep in the same bed as us...
**[13:44] (Flashback) tan**
Oh, is that it?
**[13:46] (Flashback) snow**
Tanisu and I will sleep on the floor.
You three can take the bed.
**[13:50] (Flashback) ashi**
I don't mind, but you'll catch
a cold if you sleep on the floor.
**[13:54] (Flashback) sui**
There's no proper furniture.
**[14:01] (Flashback) tan**
Fine!
**[14:02] (Flashback) tan**
I'll figure out something,
so you guys rest easy.
**[14:10] (Flashback) tan**
And now...
**[14:12] (Flashback) tan**
Almost got it.
**[14:18] (Flashback) tan**
What's wrong?
**[14:20] (Flashback) sui**
Aisuri thinks you must be
tired. She wants to help.
**[14:26] (Flashback) ai**
Shut up!
**[14:28] (Flashback) ashi**
Thank you, Aisuri!
**[14:30] (Flashback) ai**
N-No problem!
**[14:35] tan**
* It was all trash, but we*
* worked hard together...*
**[14:43] tan**
*We made a comfortable place for ourselves.*
**[14:46] tan**
*It's our new home!*
**[14:54] land**
You can put a lot of stuff
in big shelves like these!
**[14:58] tan**
They can fit anything!
**[15:02] sui**
I think we have the result
of our observation.
**[15:04] sui**
Yeah.
**[15:07] sui**
I can't wait for tomorrow!

**[17:24] sign**
I do not wish to work.
**[17:27] sign**
The ability to remove parts of my body.
**[17:29] sign**
Then to substitute other parts.
**[17:31] sign**
That's what I want.
**[17:33] sign**
Being able to change my face and such.
**[17:35] sign**
The ability to walk on water.
**[17:37] sign**
Because I'm not a great swimmer.
**[17:40] sign**
The ability to either read minds,
or to tell if someone's lying.
**[17:44] sign**
The ability to move distant
objects. I'd love that.
**[17:48] sign**
Telekinesis!
**[17:49] sign**
Because it's annoying to
get up and fetch something!
**[17:52] sign**
I could just wave my hand,
and my tea would come to me.
**[17:56] sign**
Wouldn't that be nice?
**[17:58] sign**
The ability to warp and
get to work right away.
**[18:02] sign**
That would be convenient.
**[18:04] sign**
I'm not a morning person, so it would be
a convenient way to get to work every day.
**[18:10] sign**
The ability to talk to animals.
**[18:11] sign**
I have a cat, you see.
**[18:13] sign**
I never know what he's thinking.
**[18:16] sign**
He walks up to me, so I
think he wants attention,
**[18:18] sign**
and then he suddenly bites me.
**[18:21] sign**
I'm like... what?
**[18:23] sign**
So the ability to understand
my pet cat would be nice.
***SIGN*** Talk Show Part 2
**[18:30] sign**
So, things like spiders and trees...
**[18:33] sign**
Have you ever wondered why they
chose those modifications?
**[18:37] sign**
Oh, yes!
**[18:38] sign**
There's so many options.
***SIGN*** Ashisu
Hayami Saori
**[18:39] sign**
Why a tree? Why a spider?
**[18:42] sign**
Maybe they really didn't have many options?
**[18:45] sign**
You guys would probably
want cat ears and stuff.
***SIGN*** Yu Kaito

**[18:48] sign**
Cute.
**[18:49] sign**
Men always want that.
***SIGN*** Tanisu
Sugiyama Riho
***SIGN*** Suishi
Ikuta Yoshiko
**[18:51] sign**
True.
**[18:52] sign**
Maybe the other options were too crazy.
**[18:55] sign**
Like dirt.
**[18:57] sign**
Yeah, I don't want to be dirt.
**[19:00] sign**
Or air.
**[19:02] sign**
Maybe all the choices were absurd.
**[19:04] sign**
When you're a child, you tend
to choose some odd things.
**[19:09] sign**
You write down what you
want to be as a child,
**[19:12] sign**
and when you look back at it
you find it very confusing.
**[19:14] sign**
Totally!
**[19:14] sign**
I see.
**[19:15] sign**
Yeah, true.
**[19:17] sign**
So your character might be modified to
something they wanted to be as a child.
**[19:21] sign**
Yes, I see.
**[19:22] sign**
When I was a child, I might
have wanted to be a dinosaur.
**[19:26] sign**
I see!
**[19:28] sign**
Papa, how come no one else has to study?
**[19:31] sign**
Their bodies have been modified
to give them special abilities.
**[19:35] sign**
But to the same degree, I can't expect
much from them in the way of brains.
**[19:38] sign**
At least not compared to you.
**[19:40] sign**
Great one!
**[19:43] sign**
This way!
**[19:44] sign**
Namikawa-san is great at his current role.
**[19:47] sign**
He is.
**[19:47] sign**
He's a modified human and dog, a half-breed.
**[19:54] sign**
*Aisuri-neesan seems pretty calm,*
**[19:58] sign**
* but I think the dog in Snow-niisan*
* has reached its limit.*
**[20:01] sign**
* When I'm in a wide-open space,*
* my dog blood starts itching!*
**[20:04] sign**
First, he's great at playing a dog.
**[20:08] sign**
Dog casting?
**[20:09] sign**
The dog is the real role.
**[20:12] sign**
It's amazing.
**[20:16] sign**
Let's go.
**[20:22] sign**
Please.
**[20:26] sign**
Maybe he was cast for the role because
his performance as a dog was so good!
**[20:32] sign**
He's really cute.
**[20:34] sign**
Such a cute dog.
**[20:37] sign**
Sumire is the story's ordinary girl.
**[20:40] sign**
She's just the most ordinary
girl there is, basilly.
**[20:44] sign**
Oops, I said "basilly."
**[20:54] sign**
Oh, is that man with the
white hair your brother?
**[20:58] sign**
Yeah, that's Snow-niisan.
**[21:00] sign**
*He seemed nice!*
**[21:02] sign**
*What is it, Sumire?*
**[21:04] sign**
Of the characters I've played, she's the
most straightforward ingénue type, I think.
**[21:10] sign**
Yes, I think so.
**[21:13] sign**
She's so cute, like an angel!
**[21:16] sign**
She's cute, but I think
she's a bit of a devil.
**[21:19] ---**
No way!
**[21:21] sign**
Did that come out naturally?
**[21:23] ---**
Yeah, it did.
**[21:25] sign**
Does her thing with the
brothers come out naturally?
**[21:28] sign**
I think it could cause friction.
**[21:29] sign**
She's an angel, so she loves everyone.
**[21:33] sign**
That's the devilish part!
**[21:36] sign**
That's a bit scary!
**[21:39] sign**
Watch the next episode and decide
if she's an angel or a devil.
**[21:43] sign**
I think men will say she's a devil.
**[21:45] sign**
Well, she's still very young.
**[21:49] sign**
I think she's probably not
thinking about it that hard.
**[21:51] sign**
She's a very sweet girl.
**[21:54] sign**
Landlord! Rent income!
**[21:56] sign**
Great to be him, huh?
**[21:58] sign**
That's your point?
**[21:59] sign**
Why are you talking about that?
**[22:00] sign**
I think what I'm saying is common sense,
but he's not that kind of landlord.
**[22:05] sign**
He's doing this out of the
goodness of his heart.
**[22:07] sign**
Yes, really.
**[22:08] sign**
I mean, I'm worried that maybe
he's not getting his rent money.
**[22:12] sign**
He gets furniture at a secondhand shop.
**[22:16] sign**
He's more like their guardian.
**[22:18] sign**
Yeah!
**[22:20] ---**
Tasty!
**[22:23] sign**
I've lost all interest in dog food.
**[22:26] sign**
What kind of life have you kids been living?
**[22:29] sign**
I suppose you had a nice rest?
**[22:32] sign**
Yeah, I haven't had a bed in so long.
**[22:36] sign**
Usually, Snow-niisan and I are
stuck sleeping on the floor.
**[22:39] sign**
*Is that why he was so grumpy last night?*
**[22:43] sign**
I've played a lot of characters in my life
**[22:47] sign**
but when I think about kind people
like that landlord existing...
**[22:53] sign**
It's like, it doesn't even matter
that they're not related by blood.
**[22:59] sign**
I think his feelings surpass blood relation.
**[23:04] sign**
He's a great character.
**[23:06] sign**
I hope you'll all cheer on the landlord.

I just ran out of the medicine he'd need.
**[03:01] dr**
I'd need to go to the mainland to get more,
**[03:04] dr**
but I'm a bit busy.
**[03:06] land**
I'll go, then.

What about your job?

I'll figure it out somehow.

How'd it go?

It's not that bad, it's just...

The landlord's getting medicine, so I'm
sure Snow will be better very soon!
**[03:53] ashi**
Right? Right? Right?
**[03:58] tan**
The medicine won't get
here until the weekend.
**[04:02] ai**
What is it?
**[04:05] tan**
I think there might be someone here on
the island with medicine for this illness.
**[04:10] ai**
You're heading out again? If you go
alone, you'll get lost, you know.
**[04:17] ai**
Once Snow's better, he'll have to buy
me lot of treats to make it up to me.
**[04:23] ashi**
Then I'll go, too!

An outing is better with more people!

No. It's safer inside. I like it this way.

You only just remembered?

I've seen a lot of children in my time,

**[14:31] sui**
You came to meet me because
you knew it was me?
**[14:33] teach**
Tanisu came to see me and Yu Kaito
asked me to look after you.
**[14:38] teach**
You were logged in with his ID, you know?
**[14:42] teach**
I never thought this would happen.
**[14:45] teach**
The reason I wouldn't give it to anyone else
**[14:47] teach**
is because the ingredients are very precious.
**[14:49] teach**
Even endemic diseases can be cured.
**[14:54] sui**
Why did you give them to me?
**[14:56] teach**
Because you came to get it yourself.
**[15:00] teach**
You hate going outside, don't you?
**[15:03] teach**
But here you are anyway.
**[15:06] teach**
You were beside yourself,
racing against time, right?
**[15:13] teach**
Well, go ahead and relax.
**[15:15] teach**
If he takes this, he'll get
better within a few days.
**[15:18] teach**
But never do this again, okay?
**[15:22] teach**
It's dangerous for girls to go out
to meet people they don't know.
**[15:26] teach**
Don't do it.
**[15:28] sui**
I wasn't in a hurry because Snow was sick.

**[17:37] sign**
Thank you very much.

"If you were going to be modified,
what power would you want?"
**[17:45] land**
I've been thinking... you all seem a
bit naive about how the world works...
***SIGN*** Yu Kaito Voice: Horie Kazuma 32 years old, the landlord who takes in the five siblings and is a perpetual research student.
**[17:49] land**
But Tanisu-kun, you seem less so.
**[17:52] tan**
Well... I am a genius, after all.
**[17:56] land**
*A genius?*
**[17:58] land**
I don't need anything too over-the-top.
***SIGN*** If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
***SIGN*** Yu Kaito
Horie Kazuma
**[18:01] land**
But I do love cats.
**[18:03] land**
So the ability to know what other animals
are thinking, not necessarily just cats.
**[18:09] land**
To be able to know what they're
thinking and saying.
**[18:14] land**
To understand them. That kind of power.
**[18:18] land**
For instance, you see a cat on the roadside,
**[18:22] land**
and you say "hello" to it,
**[18:24] land**
and it says, "Hey, Kazuma-kun!
**[18:26] land**
It might rain today! Don't
forget an umbrella!"
**[18:29] land**
Something like that would be fine.
**[18:31] land**
The ability to talk to and
communicate with animals.
**[18:35] land**
Especially cats.
**[18:38] land**
That'd be really nice.
**[18:39] land**
It would be exciting.
**[18:40] land**
It's not possible, but if I could be
modified, that's what I'd ask for.
**[18:46] land**
Please help me!
**[18:47] land**
Yes?
**[18:48] land**
Do you have a second choice?
**[18:50] land**
A second choice?
**[18:51] land**
Let's see... having wings, or
an engine that would let me fly.
**[18:55] land**
I'd prefer something that looked stylish.
**[18:58] land**
What do you think? Some doctor
out there, make it happen!
**[19:03] [SONG] sign**
We also asked Kubo Yurika, who was backstage at
the Anime Japan 2018 *Frankenstein Family* booth...
**[19:06] sign**
This says, "If you were going to be modified,
what power would you want?"
***SIGN*** Sumire Voice: Kubo Yurika 10 years old, she ends up getting to know Tanisu after a chance meeting on the island.
**[19:16] sign**
Of course it is!
**[19:20] sign**
Here.
**[19:26] sign**
Bye-bye!
***SIGN*** If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
**[19:27] sign**
There's one that I definitely want.
***SIGN*** Sumire
Kubo Yurika
**[19:32] sign**
It's... the ability to drink and
drink and never have a hangover!
**[19:37] sign**
That's an adult thing.
**[19:39] sign**
As I get older, I become more
and more prone to hangovers.
**[19:43] sign**
I'd like to be able to drink all I want
and not have it linger the next day.
**[19:48] sign**
I'd like a body that can
disperse that stress.
**[19:52] sign**
That's my mature point of
view on being modified.
**[19:56] sign**
That would be great to have, I think.
**[19:58] sign**
I'd drink all night, every night.
**[19:59] ---**
Yes.
**[20:00] ---**
I come from Nara Prefecture,
***SIGN*** What's your second choice for power?
**[20:03] sign**
and I really love Nara,
**[20:05] sign**
so the ability to go back to Nara
in a second whenever I want.
**[20:09] sign**
Teleportation, right?
**[20:11] sign**
That's an ability I'd really like to have.
**[20:13] sign**
Until they invent linear motors,
it's just really far away.
**[20:16] sign**
So I want the ability to go home quick.
**[20:19] sign**
And that was Kubo Yurika,
voice actress for Sumire!
**[20:25] [SONG] sign**
We also asked the staff at Anime Japan
2018's *Frankenstein Family* booth
**[20:32] sign**
What? The ability to point somewhere,
and make grass grow there.
***SIGN*** If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
**[20:42] sign**
And flowers and stuff.
**[20:46] sign**
I want a beautiful power.
**[20:49] sign**
Anything else?
**[20:50] sign**
Besides that?
**[20:51] sign**
The power to fly. I'd like the power to fly.
**[20:56] sign**
I'd stand on the top of Tokyo Tower.
**[20:59] sign**
I'd like to look down on Tokyo from there.
**[21:03] sign**
Although I am acrophobic.
**[21:06] sign**
I sing, so the power to save the
world with my song would be great.
**[21:14] sign**
The power to fly!
**[21:17] sign**
I want to go on a trip by flying.
**[21:21] sign**
Otherwise...
**[21:23] sign**
The ability to eat what I want forever.
**[21:28] sign**
I want to eat all kinds of things.
***SIGN*** Frankenstein Extras Extra
**[21:33] [SONG] sign**
We asked Namikawa-san!
"What's the second power you'd want?"
**[21:36] sign**
Everyone. Good evening.
***SIGN*** Snow
Namikawa Daisuke
**[21:38] sign**
And good day. I'm Namikawa Daisuke.
**[21:42] snow**
Well... to them, the way they
are now is the real them.
***SIGN*** Snow 17 years old, the oldest of the five siblings He was fused with a white dog and can maintain human, canine, and half-dog forms.
**[21:47] snow**
If I couldn't become a dog, if you weren't
a genius... you'd hate it, wouldn't you?
**[21:52] snow**
It would be like something's missing.
**[21:54] tan**
Is that it?
**[21:56] tan**
The ability to endure anything if I can
just hold out for five seconds.
***SIGN*** If you were going to be modified, what power would you want?
**[22:02] tan**
That's a power I want.
**[22:04] tan**
For instance, if I think I really
want to eat some ramen,
**[22:09] tan**
and can hold it off five seconds,
**[22:11] tan**
then I'm like, "Oh? Did I want to eat that?"
**[22:13] tan**
The ability to do something like that.
**[22:16] tan**
If I think, "Oh, I'm so sleepy!"
**[22:18] tan**
then I restrain myself,
**[22:19] tan**
and suddenly I'm like, "Oh? I'm not sleepy."
**[22:22] tan**
That's a power I want.
**[22:24] tan**
I think the viewers at home
are probably thinking this,
**[22:28] tan**
"You can do that anyway!"
You probably think that.
**[22:32] tan**
But what do you think of this?
**[22:34] tan**
If there was a 10,000 yen
bill in front of you,
**[22:38] tan**
you turn it in, right?
**[22:40] tan**
That's the right answer.
You take it to the police.
**[22:42] tan**
I'd do that, too.
**[22:43] tan**
But you can do that, so why can't you
hold back on buying 800 yen ramen?
***SIGN*** Seriously!
**[22:52] sign**
Don't you agree?
**[22:54] sign**
The power to resist your urges.
I'd really like a power like that.
**[23:00] sign**
If anyone can make that
happen, please contact me.
***SIGN*** Please do not contact him.
**[23:07] sign**
Make it happen with a button.

I'm sure Snow-niisan will be happy
**[02:52] tan**
knowing what you did for him...
**[02:56] ashi**
We're back!
**[03:04] ashi**
Where's Snow-niisan?
**[03:10] ai**
He's gotta be asleep upstairs, right?
**[03:23] sui**
He's not here.
**[03:28] tan**
This is bad!
**[03:46] ho**
The moon sure looks pretty tonight!
**[03:58] ho**
What?
**[04:05] ho**
Am I drunk?
**[04:10] ho**
Day one, one thousand steps... day two...
**[04:14] ho**
Whoops!
**[04:29] ashi**
Have you seen a lost boy?
**[04:31] ashi**
No.
**[04:32] ashi**
Let's try this way.
**[04:34] ashi**
Have you seen this man?
**[04:36] ashi**
No.
**[04:39] ashi**
*She's cute.*
**[04:43] ashi**
Let's get some pasta.
**[04:52] ho**
A monster!
**[05:00] ho**
Heaven help me!
**[05:03] sumi**
What's the matter?
**[05:06] ho**
Get away from me!
**[05:09] ho**
I'm scared! Get it away!
**[05:54] tan**
Dammit...
**[05:57] tan**
I won't give up!
**[06:06] tan**
*It's my turn to search for* you*, Snow-niisan!*
**[06:34] sumi**
Stop that! It tickles!
**[06:37] snow**
Hey, stop that!
**[06:41] snow**
Stop!
**[06:43] snow**
Stop it! Tanisu will be mad!
**[06:48] snow**
Stop it!
**[06:57] sumi**
Are you okay?
**[07:02] sumi**
Does something hurt?
**[07:16] sumi**
Wait!
**[07:48] sumi**
Huh?
**[07:53] sumi**
Are you all right?!
**[08:12] sumi**
Thank you...
**[08:16] sumi**
Are you hurt?!
**[09:09] sumi**
Um...
**[09:11] sumi**
Aren't you... that boy's big brother?
**[09:17] sumi**
Mister!
**[09:33] sumi**
Are you okay?
**[09:44] snow**
Thank you. I'm fine now.
**[09:46] sumi**
I'm glad to hear it. I'm fine, too.
**[09:51] sumi**
But where did that wolfman go?
**[10:00] sumi**
You should probably rest...
**[10:17] snow**
You're right.
**[11:16] tan**
Sumire-chan is nice to everyone.
Because she's an angel.
**[11:24] tan**
It's not happening.
**[11:26] tan**
No sense in averting your
eyes from the truth.
**[11:29] tan**
Sumire loves Snow.
**[11:33] tan**
You're wrong.
**[11:36] tan**
She will some day, then.
**[11:38] tan**
Liar.
**[11:41] tan**
If you don't have the courage
to face facts, what can you do?
**[11:47] tan**
Use that big brain of yours.
**[11:50] tan**
It's an easy problem to solve, isn't it?
**[11:54] tan**
Monsters can't live with humans, right?
**[11:59] tan**
Your life so far has proved it, hasn't it?
**[12:02] tan**
All your hard work has
basically been pointless.
**[12:07] tan**
The only reason your landlord is nice to you
**[12:11] tan**
is because he doesn't
know what you really are.
**[12:15] tan**
You know that better than anyone, don't you?
**[12:19] tan**
What you want is impossible.
**[12:22] tan**
That's why you're hiding what you are, right?
**[12:27] tan**
You're wrong. I'm sure that someday,
my brother and sisters will...
**[12:34] tan**
"Someday, they will." You might
as well say they *never* will.
**[12:42] tan**
When is the "someday" you speak of?
**[12:46] tan**
Tomorrow? Next week?
**[12:48] tan**
Next month? Next year?
**[12:50] tan**
In ten years?
**[12:54] tan**
What really matters is that Sumire
would never accept a monster family.
**[13:03] tan**
They all just do what they want,
anyway. They don't care about you.
**[13:08] tan**
You should live with that
kind of honesty, too.
**[13:14] tan**
Choose.
**[13:16] tan**
Your ideal life, or that
monster family of yours?
**[13:20] tan**
*That was some kind of mistake.*
**[13:23] tan**
*But...*
**[13:25] tan**
*Don't avert your eyes from the truth.*
**[13:27] tan**
* If you don't have the courage*
* to face facts, what can you do?*
**[13:33] tan**
Shut up!
**[13:48] tan**
* No... I need to make the medicine*
* that will make them human.*
**[13:54] tan**
*And then...*
**[14:10] ai**
It's your fault, y'know?!
**[14:13] snow**
So, what if it is?
**[14:21] snow**
What answer has Tanisu reached?
***SIGN*** Frankenstein Extras!

*Frankenstein Extras!*

*Today's theme is...*
***SIGN*** Today's theme is...
**[16:25] sign**
Let's go to the flipboard!
**[16:27] sign**
Okay!
**[16:29] sign**
Ta-da!
**[16:31] sign**
"How's the teamwork among the main cast?"
**[16:33] sign**
Teamwork?
***SIGN*** How's the teamwork among the main cast?
**[16:35] sign**
I think we have good teamwork!
**[16:37] sign**
I think it's amazing.
**[16:39] sign**
"It's amazing!" She says.
**[16:39] sign**
The teamwork is surprising. On the mic,
this is very real during recording.
**[16:46] sign**
We have to swap the mic a lot.
**[16:48] sign**
Yeah, that's true.
**[16:49] sign**
This way and that.
**[16:51] sign**
Our Senpais move it.
**[16:53] sign**
They're nice.
**[16:55] sign**
I think Hayami-san and I are totally in sync.
**[16:57] sign**
Yeah, I agree.
**[16:59] sign**
Everyone thinks that.
**[17:01] sign**
That was a little exciting.
**[17:08] ashi**
I want us to be the same.
**[17:19] ashi**
*To talk together.*
**[17:22] ashi**
*To eat together.*
**[17:24] ashi**
*To play together.*
**[17:25] ashi**
*To sleep together.*
**[17:27] ashi**
*Because...*
**[17:32] ashi**
*since the day we were born...*
**[17:34] ashi**
*we have always been together.*
**[17:37] ashi**
*Even if our powers are different,*
**[17:40] ashi**
*we know.*
**[17:43] ashi**
*We are the same!*
**[17:48] ashi**
Everyone's teamwork really is great.
**[17:50] ashi**
Even if you're pushed out a little,
**[17:52] ashi**
you still chime in from the back.
**[17:53] ashi**
That's true.
**[17:54] ashi**
We compromise in our conversations.
**[17:57] ashi**
Whenever we're eating, Hayami-san
always says, "We are family, after all!"
**[18:01] ashi**
It makes me so happy!
**[18:03] ashi**
I love her like a mother.
**[18:05] ashi**
Yeah, I love her.
**[18:09] ashi**
I think we have a lot of teamwork.
**[18:10] ashi**
That's all we can say, really.
**[18:12] ashi**
Yeah, that's all we can say...
**[18:15] ashi**
But when we returned to
the institute we came from,
**[18:20] ashi**
we all use our powers in our own ways.
**[18:23] ashi**
I think I was very useful, myself.
**[18:25] ashi**
You used it.
**[18:26] ashi**
Looking for people and such.
**[18:28] ashi**
I go all around, jumping up
to high places and such.
**[18:33] ashi**
That's right. We all did that together.
**[18:41] ashi**
It's open here.
**[18:45] ashi**
Okay...
**[18:47] ashi**
The camera's not working.
**[18:55] ashi**
Okay!
**[19:02] ashi**
You want me to go?
**[19:20] ashi**
Suishi also. She reads minds.
**[19:24] ashi**
She helps Tanisu.
**[19:27] ashi**
They help each other, don't they?
**[19:31] ashi**
Sui-chan. Could you take us
to Tani-chan right now?
**[19:39] ashi**
Beneath this cliff.
**[19:41] ashi**
Tanisu is there.
**[19:45] ashi**
To find him, we'll need someone
with extreme physical capabilities.
**[19:50] ashi**
Aisuri-neesan is the only
one who could do it.
**[19:52] ashi**
We need you.
**[19:59] ashi**
You're all so darn sad.
**[20:04] ashi**
I'll find him in no time!
**[20:11] ashi**
Nicely done.
**[20:13] ashi**
Tanisu has no sense of direction.
**[20:16] ashi**
That's right.
**[20:18] ashi**
He has no sense of direction, so
while he's kind of their caretaker,
**[20:23] ashi**
he's still a little 11-year-old boy.
**[20:26] ashi**
He tries hard to keep them all together,
**[20:30] ashi**
but there are some things
he can't keep up on,
**[20:33] ashi**
and things he can't handle.
**[20:34] ashi**
So his siblings help him fill in the gaps.
**[20:38] ashi**
That's true.
**[20:39] ashi**
When they search for Tanisu,
they all work together.
**[20:47] ashi**
Hey, Tanisu!
**[20:50] ashi**
Aisuri-neesan...
**[20:58] ashi**
You idiot.
**[21:00] ashi**
I'm hungry!
**[21:01] ashi**
You trying to starve me to death?!
**[21:16] ashi**
I'm sorry...
**[21:30] ashi**
Let's go.
**[21:32] ashi**
If we don't hurry, I'll have to eat *you*.
**[21:35] ashi**
So much teamwork.
**[21:38] ashi**
They have teamwork.
**[21:39] ashi**
There's teamwork in the story, too.
**[21:41] ashi**
Yeah, there is. Seriously.
**[21:43] ashi**
But when you think about
that, Tanisu is useless.
**[21:46] ashi**
That's not true! He's a genius!
**[21:48] ashi**
The others couldn't get along without Tanisu.
**[21:48] ashi**
A genius!
**[21:51] ashi**
True. He's a genius. Yes.
**[21:54] ashi**
He goes shopping.
**[21:56] ashi**
Yeah, because we have no common sense.
**[21:57] ashi**
He goes shopping.
**[21:58] ashi**
Going shopping... that's ordinary!
**[22:01] ashi**
Yes, it's normal.
**[22:02] ashi**
But it's hard to do ordinary things.
**[22:03] ashi**
He's the only one who can do ordinary things.
**[22:15] ashi**
You shouldn't have gotten so high and mighty.
**[22:17] ashi**
Don't defy me again, okay?
**[22:20] ashi**
You're all really amazing.
**[22:22] ashi**
You bet your butt!
**[22:24] ashi**
Thank you, Aisuri-neesan.
**[22:30] ashi**
What the heck...
**[22:37] ashi**
Hey, what are we going to do for dinner?
**[22:39] ashi**
Don't worry. I'll work it out.
**[22:42] ashi**
Cup ramen, huh?
**[22:43] ashi**
Sounds great! Let's have it!
**[22:46] ashi**
He can't always follow through.
**[22:48] ashi**
He's adorable.
**[22:50] ashi**
That's why he can't live
without his siblings.
**[22:53] ashi**
And that's true the other way around, too.
**[22:55] ashi**
They would really fall apart without Tanisu.
**[22:57] ashi**
Hooray!
**[22:59] ashi**
In that sense, they support each other.
**[23:01] ashi**
They do, and we do.
**[23:03] ashi**
We all have teamwork going.
**[23:04] ashi**
True!
**[23:05] ashi**
We went full-circle!
**[23:06] ashi**
We did!
**[23:07] ashi**
Thank goodness.

**[02:55] snow**
There.
**[02:58] snow**
Hey, Tanisu.
**[03:19] (Flashback) ai**
It's too damn small.
**[03:21] (Flashback) tan**
I'm just grateful we have somewhere to live.
**[03:24] (Flashback) tan**
The rent is high, too!
**[03:27] (Flashback) ashi**
Where's our room?
**[03:29] (Flashback) tan**
Upstairs! Come on!
**[03:38] (Flashback) ai**
No way! Not happening!
**[03:40] (Flashback) ai**
Let's go!
**[03:41] (Flashback) tan**
Hold it!
**[03:43] (Flashback) tan**
Just be grateful we could
get a home this quickly!
**[03:47] (Flashback) ai**
Shut up!
**[03:47] (Flashback) snow**
They're girls, and we're boys.
**[03:50] (Flashback) snow**
But there's only one bed, right?
**[03:52] (Flashback) ai**
Yeah, yeah!
**[03:54] (Flashback) tan**
*That's* the problem?
**[03:56] (Flashback) snow**
Tanisu and I will sleep on the floor.
**[03:58] (Flashback) snow**
You girls sleep on the bed.
**[04:04] (Flashback) ashi**
I don't mind.
**[04:06] (Flashback) ashi**
But won't you catch a cold
if you sleep on the floor?
**[04:10] (Flashback) ai**
There's no decent furniture here!
**[04:13] (Flashback) tan**
I get it!
**[04:15] (Flashback) tan**
I'll work it out, so just hold on!
**[04:27] (Flashback) tan**
Wow, the city's so different!
So many buildings!
**[04:35] (Flashback) ashi**
No, Aisuri!
**[04:37] (Flashback) ashi**
Tani-chan told you not to eat bugs!
**[04:41] (Flashback) ai**
Like I care! Butt out!
**[04:52] (Flashback) ai**
You okay?
**[04:54] (Flashback) sui**
The air here is bad.
**[04:59] (Flashback) tan**
The city's so great!
You can even see supercars!
**[05:01] (Flashback) ai**
That little brat!
**[05:02] (Flashback) ashi**
Aisuri.
**[05:03] (Flashback) ashi**
We'll get used to it.
**[05:05] (Flashback) ashi**
But...
**[05:14] man**
Doesn't mama make the best pizza?
**[05:16] man**
Thank you, darling!
**[05:20] (Flashback) tan**
Well? This is a nice big place, right?
**[05:23] (Flashback) tan**
We can all play here together!
**[05:26] (Flashback) ai**
Cool!
**[05:29] (Flashback) ashi**
Such fresh air!
**[05:31] (Flashback) tan**
There are places with clean
air in the city, too.
**[05:40] (Flashback) tan**
Snow-niisan... Snow-niisan!
**[05:43] (Flashback) tan**
There's even more interesting
things over here.
**[05:45] (Flashback) tan**
Come on!
**[05:46] (Flashback) snow**
Don't run so fast!
**[05:51] snow**
How are your studies going?
**[05:52] snow**
Really fun!
**[06:01] (Flashback) tan**
Suishi-neesan!
**[06:05] (Flashback) tan**
A popsicle! Eat with us!
**[06:07] (Flashback) tan**
Eat it fast or it'll melt!
**[06:10] (Flashback) tan**
It's really tasty!
**[06:15] (Flashback) tan**
How is it?
**[06:16] (Flashback) sui**
It's good.
**[06:17] (Flashback) tan**
Didn't I tell you?
**[06:19] (Flashback) tan**
Even Suishi-neesan likes it!
**[06:21] (Flashback) ai**
Can I have another one?
**[06:23] (Flashback) snow**
Next time. Let's keep going.
**[06:28] (Flashback) tan**
Huh?
**[06:30] (Flashback) tan**
Hey, Suishi-neesan!
**[06:32] (Flashback) tan**
We're going!
**[06:50] sumi**
Kanisu?
**[06:55] sumi**
You okay?
**[06:58] sumi**
How's your brother?
**[07:04] sumi**
How about your sisters?
**[07:07] sumi**
Did you have a fight?
**[07:09] tan**
I don't know...
**[07:10] sumi**
I felt the same way when
my brother and I fought.
**[07:13] sumi**
But if you just apologize properly,
you can definitely make up!
**[07:17] tan**
It won't be that simple for me...
**[07:20] tan**
I'm like those adults I hate so much.
**[07:26] tan**
I tricked you.
**[07:30] tan**
Even about my name... it's actually Tanisu.
**[07:34] tan**
I'm sorry.
**[07:43] sumi**
No problem!
**[07:44] sumi**
I forgive you!
**[07:47] tan**
That fast?
**[07:49] sumi**
Well, you apologized!
**[07:52] sumi**
Besides, we're friends, right?
**[07:55] tan**
Sumire-chan...
**[07:57] sumi**
So if you talk to them, they'll understand.
**[08:01] tan**
But I don't even know where they went.
**[08:04] tan**
I've been searching all day...
**[08:08] sumi**
No matter what happens, someone will
always be waiting for you at home.
**[08:13] tani**
You mean it?
**[08:18] sumi**
Because you're family!
**[08:22] tan**
Yeah!
**[08:33] sumi**
*Because you're family!*
**[08:36] sumi**
Gimme more!
**[08:38] sumi**
You'll ruin your digestion!
**[08:40] sumi**
Shut up.
**[08:44] tan**
Huh?
**[08:50] tan**
Tani-chan!
**[08:51] tan**
Tanisu.
**[08:55] tan**
Tanisu.
**[09:00] tan**
Snow-niisan!
**[09:03] tan**
Tanisu.
**[09:04] tan**
You came back?
**[09:06] tan**
Yeah.
**[09:19] tan**
*Someone will always be waiting for you.*
**[09:41] (Flashback) ai**
Dammit...
**[09:42] (Flashback) ai**
That place is our home.
**[09:44] (Flashback) ai**
Why can't we go back?
**[09:46] (Flashback) tan**
Even if we went back, we couldn't stay!
**[09:48] (Flashback) ai**
I don't care!
**[09:50] (Flashback) ai**
I'm going back to my home
some day, no matter what!
**[09:54] (Flashback) tan**
This is a key to the secret passage.
**[09:56] (Flashback) ai**
Secret passage?
**[09:58] (Flashback) tan**
Mom and Dad probably accounted for
something like this happening.
**[10:03] (Flashback) tan**
So they stuck this key with
the documents they left me.
**[10:09] (Flashback) tan**
And written on the documents
it was with was:
**[10:11] (Flashback) tan**
"If you ever really need it,
**[10:14] (Flashback) tan**
pass through the secret passage to
our home's basement, and get ready."
**[10:18] (Flashback) ai**
So what'll we find there?
**[10:20] (Flashback) ai**
Will it let us go home?
**[10:23] (Flashback) tan**
I don't know.
**[10:24] (Flashback) tan**
But it's the last resort
Mom and Dad left with us...
**[10:28] tan**
*I just don't think we should use it lightly.*
**[10:32] tan**
*I thought so... the key is gone.*
**[10:54] tan**
Um... could I rent a boat?
**[10:59] teach**
What's going on? Here...
**[11:02] tan**
Please! I need a boat that
can withstand the storm!
**[11:06] teach**
I'm just an elementary school teacher.
**[11:09] teach**
Why would you think I'd have a boat?
**[11:12] tan**
Someone you know must have one.
**[11:16] tan**
First, if you run a
secondhand shop like this,
**[11:20] tan**
there must be some kind of rich
family on your collection route!
**[11:26] tan**
Second, most people on this island
need to get around on the ocean.
**[11:30] tan**
If you're a teacher, you must know
someone who works with boats.
**[11:35] tan**
Third...
**[11:39] tan**
I thought about it, and I think...
you're the only one who can help me.
**[11:48] teach**
You're quite an impressive child.
**[11:50] teach**
You seem to have amazing
analytical abilities.
**[11:54] teach**
So you also must realize that I won't send
a child out on the ocean in this storm.
**[12:01] tan**
But... I want to go find
Snow-niisan and the others.
**[12:05] teach**
Did something happen to your siblings?
**[12:08] teach**
We should call the police, then...
**[12:09] tan**
Wait!
**[12:11] tan**
There aren't many people
I can trust right now.
**[12:14] tan**
You're one of them. An important one.
**[12:18] teach**
If I'm such an important friend,
then explain things to me.
**[12:23] teach**
What's going on with you guys?
**[12:28] teach**
I see. You don't have to tell me.
**[12:32] teach**
You must have some complicated
circumstances anyway.
**[12:35] tan**
It was my fault. I made them
all feel responsible for it.
**[12:42] tan**
I've been really selfish.
**[12:45] tan**
Without Snow-niisan, Ashisu-neesan,
Aisuri-neesan, and Suishi-neesan,
**[12:51] tan**
the place I live isn't really home!
**[12:55] tan**
So...
**[12:56] teach**
When you see them,
give them a proper apology.
**[12:59] teach**
That's some good advice
from a teacher. Got it?
**[13:03] teach**
Yeah...
**[13:25] land**
Wei, what are you doing here?
**[13:28] teach**
Jeez, what an unreliable guardian.
**[13:30] teach**
A child in your care is in bad shape,
and you're all slack-jawed.
**[13:36] land**
What happened?
**[13:39] land**
Tanisu-kun, what happened?
**[13:41] tan**
Snow-niisan and the others got mad
at me and ran away from home.
**[13:48] land**
They all ran away?!
**[13:50] land**
In this weather?!
**[13:54] land**
Wh-What's going on?
**[13:57] tani**
Please go home without me, Kuma-san.
**[14:00] tani**
I'll bring them back, I promise.
**[14:05] land**
I can't exactly let you go by yourself.
**[14:09] land**
Wei, take me along.
**[14:10] teach**
That's what I like to hear.
**[14:15] teach**
Sit down.
**[14:16] teach**
Okay...
**[14:18] land**
Um, when was the last time
you drove one of these?
**[14:21] teach**
How am I supposed to remember?
**[14:23] teach**
It can't be that different
from a motorcycle!
**[14:25] teach**
Moving out!
**[14:30] land**
I'm taking over.

It really has.

I'm nervous about meeting like this.

Are you doing well?

I think so. How about you?

I'm doing great.

You are? Give me some of your energy, then.
***SIGN*** Falling Into Spring
***SIGN*** Kano
**[16:37] [SONG] sign**
She started out on video sharing sites, and has
now performed multiple anime theme songs.
**[16:44] [SONG] sign**
She's known for her voice that combines gentleness
and strength, with a transparent quality to it.
**[16:51] [SONG] sign**
She's released four singles and two albums so far.
***SIGN*** Akatsuki Rin
**[17:02] [SONG] sign**
In 2015, she got a spot in the grand prix
from an audition of more than 3,000 people.
**[17:09] [SONG] sign**
Her talent was recognized, and in March 2016 she
had a major debut with "Wings of Determination."
**[17:15] [SONG] sign**
She's been aggressive about doing overseas events
too, and is getting major attention these days.
**[17:22] sign**
The opening is a real earworm, isn't it?
**[17:22] [SONG] sign**
Sings OP Theme, "Early Days"
Akatsuki Rin
**[17:25] sign**
Thank you.
**[17:26] sign**
I always end up humming it.
**[17:27] [SONG] sign**
Sings ED Theme, "Falling Into Spring"
Kano
**[17:28] sign**
It plays during the commercials
too, so I hear it a lot.
**[17:31] sign**
It feels nostalgic, and kind of intimate.
**[17:37] sign**
Does it? I'm glad to hear that.
**[17:39] sign**
I've been told my way of
singing isn't very friendly.
**[17:46] sign**
But the theme is family, so I tried
to put a certain kindness in it.
**[17:51] sign**
I like that most.
**[17:53] sign**
Thank you very much.
**[17:54] sign**
I feel like, thank you for helping to elevate me.
**[17:59] sign**
When I heard "Falling Into Spring", I felt
like it was a song overflowing with hope.
**[18:05] sign**
Thank you.
**[18:06] sign**
Spring is when everything starts.
**[18:10] sign**
And your voice, Kano-san, is so sensitive.
**[18:16] sign**
It makes it a very "spring"-like song.
**[18:20] sign**
When people ask what my music is like,
**[18:25] sign**
it's hard to respond.
**[18:26] sign**
I always found myself sweating, trying
to figure out a quality answer.
**[18:32] sign**
Next time someone asks me that,
I'll probably steal that.
***SIGN*** What was your impression when you first met?
**[18:40] sign**
You felt very fluffy. It was
just like I imagined you.
**[18:45] sign**
Is that okay? Did you read
that off cue cards?
**[18:47] sign**
No, no, no.
**[18:48] sign**
You feel very feminine.
**[18:50] sign**
Oh? Thank you.
**[18:51] sign**
You have everything I lack, I think.
**[18:53] sign**
Why are you laughing?
**[18:56] sign**
I really am jealous.
**[18:57] sign**
Thank you. I'm very envious of you, too.
**[19:00] sign**
Oh, please.
**[19:02] sign**
Don't say it so flatly.
**[19:06] sign**
I was born in China, actually, so
I've known about you for a long time.
**[19:13] sign**
Thank you very much.
**[19:15] sign**
You were already famous when
I was in middle school.
**[19:18] sign**
For "Hello/How Are You" and such.
**[19:20] sign**
The old Vocaloid song.
**[19:23] sign**
Old Vocaloid song?
**[19:25] sign**
It was really famous, and I heard it then.
**[19:30] sign**
I thought it was great.
That you were so feminine.
**[19:33] sign**
In China, my name is read as "Lu Nai."
**[19:36] sign**
Yes.
**[19:38] sign**
I thought it was a funny reading,
so that was exciting.
**[19:41] sign**
I only knew you from your
songs and your photos.
**[19:48] sign**
So at the time I just knew you were a delicate
beauty, with a mysterious air about you.
**[19:56] sign**
I never thought you'd smile so much.
**[19:58] sign**
You smile so much.
**[20:01] sign**
You're so open and talkative.
**[20:03] sign**
Thank you.
***SIGN*** We asked them this question, too!
**[20:09] sign**
Who's your favorite *Frankenstein
Family* character?
***SIGN*** Who's your favorite
*Frankenstein Family* character?
**[20:13] sign**
Tanisu.
**[20:14] sign**
Tanisu.
**[20:15] sign**
Tanisu.
**[20:16] sign**
Tanisu.
**[20:16] sign**
Of course, they're all very cute.
**[20:20] sign**
Puppy. The big brother.
**[20:22] sign**
He's very popular, but...
**[20:26] sign**
I do like him.
**[20:27] sign**
He's cute.
**[20:28] sign**
"My dog doesn't like thunder," he said.
**[20:31] sign**
Isn't that cute?
**[20:33] sign**
The most moving scene in the first episode.
**[20:37] sign**
This is what made me like him,
**[20:40] sign**
is the moment when Tanisu says he
wants to become a normal family,
**[20:44] sign**
and gets angry.
**[20:48] sign**
And his sister says, "Why do
we have to be normal?"
**[20:52] sign**
Yes. That's a great scene.
**[20:55] sign**
Yes. And that really awakened
something inside of me.
**[21:00] sign**
That's a very impactful scene.
**[21:03] sign**
After I watched it, and
I was thinking, "Wow."
**[21:10] sign**
Then "Shotanisu. Shotanisu."
**[21:12] sign**
They started talking about
how much they love shotas.
***SIGN*** I like pure shotas like Tanisu.
**[21:16] sign**
I laughed so hard, of course...
**[21:18] sign**
I like shotas, too.
**[21:20] sign**
Do you?
**[21:22] sign**
They're very righteous.
**[21:24] sign**
Yes, they really are.
**[21:25] sign**
It's cute.
**[21:26] sign**
My personal preference isn't
the usual cute shotas,
**[21:33] sign**
but the slightly twisted, tsundere type.
**[21:36] sign**
I have to say, that's the most
excited I've seen you today.
**[21:40] sign**
Is it?
**[21:42] sign**
Whisper whisper.
**[21:43] sign**
I like more fragile shotas.
**[21:47] sign**
The slightly sickly ones.
**[21:48] sign**
Isn't that great?
**[21:51] sign**
Are we under some curse that says
we have to talk about shotas?
**[21:56] sign**
No one can resist the appeal of shotas.
**[22:01] sign**
Shotanisu is the best.
**[22:03] sign**
Yes, he's the best.
***SIGN*** Then let's try to draw Shotanisu!
(And compete to see who's better!)
**[22:08] sign**
I'm going to win. If I try, I'll win.
**[22:11] sign**
If we compete on ugliness, I think I'll win.
**[22:19] sign**
What?
**[22:22] sign**
How did it turn out this way?
**[22:24] sign**
I think I might be a good artist!
**[22:29] sign**
I bet if I didn't tell you this was
Tanisu, no one would recognize it.
**[22:35] sign**
One, two, three!
***SIGN*** Artist: Kano
**[22:39] sign**
So good!
**[22:41] sign**
Really?
**[22:41] sign**
Yeah, it's so good.
**[22:43] sign**
It's really cute.
**[22:43] sign**
How?
**[22:44] sign**
This is what I can do.
***SIGN*** Artist: Akatsuki Rin
***SIGN*** Tanisu? Snow?
**[22:47] sign**
This is my...
**[22:48] sign**
It's a horse, right?
**[22:50] sign**
But it's kind of fluffy, so it's a dog.
**[22:54] sign**
Sorry, Yanai-san.

**[22:57] sign**
They're cute. I want them as a keychain.
**[23:00] sign**
Really? You'd buy that?
**[23:02] sign**
For 200 yen?
**[23:03] sign**
100 yen.
**[23:04] sign**
100 yen. Okay, 100 yen. I'll work hard.
**[23:08] sign**
I'll make them by hand.

**[02:42] teach**
Hold on tight!
**[02:53] teach**
Tanisu-kun!
**[02:56] teach**
You okay?
**[02:59] tan**
Yes. Thank you...
**[03:01] land**
There we go.
**[03:03] land**
This should be easier on us.
**[03:05] tan**
Why did you come with me?
**[03:10] tan**
This is all my fault.
**[03:12] tan**
But I've ended up having to ask
people for so much help...
**[03:16] tan**
And you've actually helped me...
**[03:18] land**
Hey, it's fine.
**[03:21] land**
No one can live all by themselves.
**[03:24] land**
That's why you have friends,
loved ones, and family.
**[03:29] land**
Family...
**[03:30] land**
We're not related by blood.
**[03:33] land**
But if I could, I'd like to
be a part of your family.
**[03:38] land**
Some old friends taught
me that a long time ago.
**[03:46] land**
Hold on tight!
**[03:48] tan**
Thank you!
**[03:53] teach**
We're here!
**[03:55] land**
Boy, that was close!
**[04:00] tan**
Is that...
**[04:08] tan**
It's still wet.
**[04:09] tan**
They can't have been here long...
**[04:11] tan**
Tanisu-kun.
**[04:13] tan**
Go do what you came here for.
**[04:17] tan**
Okay!
**[04:21] teach**
Not going with him?
**[04:25] land**
I'm sure he'll come back.
**[04:28] teach**
Because you're family, is that it?
**[05:00] tan**
*Which way was it?*
**[05:24] tan**
*Okay...*
**[05:36] tan**
*It would be easy with my sisters' abilities,*
**[05:40] tan**
*but I can't jump that far...*
**[05:48] tan**
*That was close!*
**[05:49] tan**
*Is there anything I can use?*
**[05:52] tan**
*How about that?*
**[06:07] tan**
This is what I needed.
**[06:24] tan**
Almost there...
**[06:35] tan**
*It's such a simple thing, and yet...*
**[06:39] tan**
*I should have told them earlier.*
**[06:42] tan**
*All I had to do was talk to them, but...*
**[07:07] tan**
Snow-niisan!
**[07:13] snow**
Tanisu?
**[07:19] tan**
Let's go home together.
**[07:26] snow**
Our home is here.
**[07:29] tan**
Why?
**[07:31] ashi**
Because we're monsters.
**[07:34] ai**
We can't live among humans, right?
**[07:37] tan**
You won't know until you try.
**[07:40] tan**
I'm making medicine that
will turn you all human...
**[07:43] tan**
So hang in just a little bit longer!
**[07:46] ai**
How long are we supposed to wait?
**[07:48] ashi**
Until next year? Ten years?
**[07:51] ashi**
If someone finds us before then,
how will you protect us?
**[08:02] sui**
Tanisu. You don't understand
the real problem.
**[08:06] tan**
I do!
**[08:07] ai**
No, you don't. We're—
**[08:10] tan**
Aisuri-neesan, you've never thought there
was anything wrong with the way you are.
**[08:15] tan**
Ashisu-neesan, you just don't want
any involvement with humans.
**[08:19] tan**
Suishi-neesan, too...
**[08:21] tan**
you also think humans are shady creatures
who lose their minds over any little thing.
**[08:27] tan**
Maybe I can't fix all that the way I am now.
**[08:31] tan**
I don't know how to let you coexist
with the other humans, either.
**[08:36] tan**
But...
**[08:40] tan**
But...
**[08:42] tan**
That's no reason for you to leave me behind!
**[08:46] tan**
Does that mean you think of me the
same way you do any other human?!
**[08:56] snow**
Yes.
**[09:03] snow**
You are human.
**[09:05] snow**
We are monsters.
**[09:08] snow**
Humans live in the city.
**[09:10] snow**
Monsters are locked up
in dark, cramped places.
**[09:14] snow**
This is the lifestyle that suits us both.
**[09:17] tan**
What are you basing that on?
**[09:20] tan**
That can't be right!
**[09:23] tan**
I've been working hard all
this time, all for you guys!
**[09:30] snow**
Monsters sometimes eat humans!
**[09:40] snow**
If, some day, our identities get out,
**[09:44] snow**
you may even lose your dreams,
and all the people you love.
**[09:48] snow**
The people who trusted you.
The people who came to love you.
**[09:52] snow**
They'll think of you as someone
who protected monsters, and...
**[09:58] snow**
That's the nature of the humans,
who made us monsters to begin with.
**[10:06] snow**
Maybe Mom and Dad modified us this way
**[10:10] snow**
so that we wouldn't become
that other kind of monster.
**[10:19] tan**
I don't get it.
**[10:20] tan**
You might be right, Snow-niisan.
**[10:24] tan**
But there's still so much we don't know...
**[10:28] snow**
Go back to human society.
**[10:30] snow**
You can find your answers there.
**[10:34] tan**
Then you guys are just right all the time?
**[10:39] tan**
You've never acted selfishly and
thoughtlessly like humans do?!
**[10:45] snow**
We...
**[10:47] tan**
You're all being pretty selfish, too!
**[10:51] tan**
Have you ever thought how *I* would feel
if you ran away without telling me?!
**[10:56] tan**
It's for *my* benefit, you say?
**[10:58] tan**
Humans can't coexist with monsters?
**[11:01] tan**
That's all an excuse!
**[11:03] tan**
*You're* the ones who don't know what to do,
**[11:08] tan**
so you're following your instincts
to retreat to the mountains!
**[11:12] tan**
We're a special family!
**[11:15] tan**
That's why we have to work
together to find our answers!
**[11:20] snow**
You're wrong.
**[11:22] snow**
Humans and monsters can't ever...
**[11:27] tan**
If there's something else we need,
we can look for it after we go home!
**[12:01] tan**
Then answer me one last question!
**[12:12] tan**
I want to know how Snow-niisan really feels.
**[12:17] tan**
Snow-niisan!
**[12:20] tan**
How do you *really* want to live?!
**[12:45] snow**
I...
**[12:48] snow**
I...
**[12:50] snow**
I want to live together with
you and everyone forever!
**[13:01] tan**
*That's right. We don't need a reason.*
**[13:05] tan**
*It doesn't matter if we don't have an answer.*
**[13:07] tan**
* We just want to make a life*
* with the family we love.*
**[13:12] tan**
*Because I am...*
**[13:13] tan**
*And I am...*
**[13:15] tan**
*And I am...*
**[13:16] tan**
*And I am...*
**[13:17] tan**
*We are all...*
**[13:18] tan**
*part of the Frankenstein Family.*
**[13:47] ai**
What is this? There's so much...
**[13:50] tan**
This is called poon choi!
**[13:52] tan**
It's a thing you eat with the whole family.
**[14:04] ashi**
It's delicious!
**[14:17] ai**
That was great!
**[14:19] ai**
Human food really is the best.
**[14:21] ai**
Way tastier than cockroaches!
**[14:23] ashi**
This water is delicious!
**[14:25] ashi**
I'll grow a lot of great
mushrooms based on this!
**[14:29] snow**
No, puppy! You can't come out now!
**[14:39] tan**
I'd like to ask your opinions about something.
**[14:43] tan**
What is it?
**[14:45] sui**
It comes with a serious risk.
**[14:47] ai**
A risk of what?
**[14:50] tan**
Let's tell Kuma-san about ourselves.
**[14:57] tan**
I don't think we can hide it much longer.
**[15:00] land**
Hide what?
**[15:10] tan**
Nothing!
**[15:11] sui**
If...
**[15:13] sui**
If we were hiding something,
could you still stay with us?
**[15:17] land**
*Even Suishi's talking to me...*
**[15:20] land**
*If they're hiding something...*
**[15:24] land**
Well, everyone has a secret or
two they don't want to tell!
**[15:29] land**
You do! I do!
**[15:31] land**
So I guess we have a lot in common!
**[15:37] land**
That is, just as long
as it's nothing illegal!
**[15:43] tan**
*Can we tell him, do you think?*
**[15:45] land**
Hey, are you really hiding something?
**[15:50] land**
Did you break something?
**[15:53] land**
If that's it, you should tell me!
**[15:54] land**
I'll have to take it to get fixed—
**[15:56] tan**
Not about that!
**[15:58] tan**
What we're hiding... is about our family!
**[16:08] land**
*Can it be... Are they connected to Yu-chan?*
**[16:12] land**
*It couldn't be... but maybe it could?*
**[16:16] land**
*Is that why they're all here?*
**[16:18] land**
* But it couldn't be anything*
* this convenient, right?*
**[16:21] land**
*Damn, I'm getting nervous.*
**[16:24] land**
* The moment I've been waiting*
* for has finally arrived...*
**[16:27] land**
* Now that I think about it, I can't*
* believe I didn't think of it.*
**[16:30] land**
* If it's connected to Yu-chan... that's all*
* the more reason I can't let this slip by.*
**[16:34] land**
If if it's a single ray of hope,
there's still a chance!
**[16:37] land**
*I'm glad I didn't give up! Ema will be so happy!*
**[16:38] land**
*Wait, don't leap to conclusions.*
**[16:40] land**
*It might be totally unrelated!*
**[16:42] sui**
Shut the hell up!
**[16:46] snow**
Suishi?
**[16:47] snow**
Who is this "Yu" person?
**[16:49] all**
Suishi!
***SIGN*** Frankenstein Extras!
**[16:53] sign**
*Frankenstein Extras!*
**[16:55] sign**
*Today's theme is...*
***SIGN*** Today's theme is...
**[16:57] sign**
Here.
**[16:59] sign**
Ta-da!
**[17:00] sign**
Tell us some memories from your time recording.
**[17:03] sign**
Hmm...
***SIGN*** Tell us some memories from your time recording.
**[17:05] sign**
Let's see.
**[17:06] sign**
Good memories, huh?
**[17:08] sign**
A lot of delightful things have
happened during this whole process.
***SIGN*** Ashisu
Hayami Saori
**[17:14] sign**
The double act between Ashisu and Aisuri.
**[17:19] sign**
They cover for each other. They have a lot
of lines where they fill in for each other.
**[17:25] sign**
They shout "hooray hooray" together,
talk to "Mama" together...
**[17:30] sign**
They have a lot of lines
we have to say together.
**[17:34] sign**
Snow!
**[17:40] sign**
Mama!
**[17:42] sign**
Can you tell which is which?
**[17:46] sign**
Oh, please. You're totally different.
**[17:50] sign**
That's not true.
**[17:52] sign**
Compare our hairstyles!
**[17:56] sign**
Compare our eyes!
**[18:00] sign**
Compare our shadows!
**[18:04] sign**
Yes, the more you grow,
the more alike you seem to look.
**[18:09] sign**
We could have filmed a superhero movie
about a spider-woman and a plant-woman.
**[18:14] sign**
What's a movie?
**[18:17] sign**
You don't need to know such things.
**[18:21] sign**
Ever since that first came up,
**[18:24] sign**
we were almost perfectly in sync,
even in rehearsals.
**[18:29] sign**
That made me really happy, personally.
**[18:46] sign**
I want us to be the same.
**[18:58] sign**
*To talk together.*
**[19:00] sign**
*To eat together.*
**[19:02] sign**
*To play together.*
**[19:04] sign**
*To sleep together.*
**[19:06] sign**
*Because...*
**[19:10] sign**
*since the day we were born...*
**[19:13] sign**
*we have always been together.*
**[19:15] sign**
*Even if our powers are different,*
**[19:19] sign**
*we know.*
**[19:21] sign**
*We are the same!*
**[19:26] sign**
No matter what you look
like, you're still Aisuri.
**[19:51] sign**
Even from the first episode, I've felt
like we really were a family.
**[19:57] sign**
It made me really happy.
**[20:00] sign**
Hayami-san and I worked on
a certain anime for little girls.
***SIGN*** Aisuri
Mori Nanako
***SIGN*** Suishi
Ikuta Yoshiko
***SIGN*** Tanisu
Sugiyama Rie
**[20:04] sign**
Different generations of it, of course.
**[20:06] sign**
But we got to work together.
**[20:09] sign**
We were saying, "Ah, we meet again."
**[20:11] sign**
"I guess I'm a plant again..." and such.
**[20:14] sign**
You were a plant?
**[20:16] sign**
It was perfect, huh?
**[20:18] sign**
We talked about those things.
**[20:20] sign**
And several times recording
with Namikawa-san,
**[20:23] sign**
this was a while back
that we'd been together.
**[20:26] sign**
I didn't think he'd remember me, but he did.
**[20:30] sign**
Of course he did.
**[20:32] sign**
He remembers a lot about everyone.
**[20:34] sign**
I remember thinking he was so amazing.
**[20:38] sign**
I was with Namikawa-san in my debut show.
**[20:41] sign**
I didn't know anything
about being a voice actor.
**[20:46] sign**
So he's the one who taught me
all about the mic and stuff.
**[20:50] sign**
So nice!
**[20:51] sign**
His stock is rising.
**[20:53] sign**
Because of that,
**[20:55] sign**
I think when he sees me talk into the mic,
he's probably very impressed.
**[20:58] sign**
Like a proud father?
**[21:00] sign**
Yeah, I think so.
**[21:02] sign**
He's watching over me like a father.
**[21:06] sign**
It's nice to form those
connections on the job.
**[21:10] sign**
There are some people I was
meeting for the first time.
***SIGN*** Snow
Namikawa Daisuke
**[21:14] sign**
And of course people I've worked
with many times before.
**[21:19] sign**
Um... Sugiyama-san plays the main character.
**[21:26] sign**
Um... should I say this?
I'm not sure if I should.
**[21:32] sign**
But she does great imitations.
**[21:35] sign**
She hears a voice, and
she doesn't realize it,
**[21:39] sign**
I realized that she can
imitate certain voices.
**[21:45] sign**
So I had her do it.
**[21:47] sign**
"Oh, this is... is it true?
Do I sound the same?"
**[21:51] sign**
And I said, "Say this line."
**[21:53] sign**
and she did it perfectly.
**[21:55] sign**
But we can't get her to perform it here.
(Because it is another show)
**[21:59] sign**
I have a lot of memories like that,
in the show we just did.
**[22:05] sign**
I feel like our family had
a nice recording together.
**[22:11] sign**
Namikawa-san joined us
in our second recording.
**[22:14] sign**
But it's like his aura changed a lot.
**[22:16] sign**
He was having a lot of fun,
he was teasing us a lot.
**[22:19] sign**
It was a lot of fun.
**[22:21] sign**
He made me do imitations of
totally different shows on site.
**[22:26] sign**
Yes, he did! That's a great memory.
**[22:30] sign**
After rehearsals ended and before
we started recording,
**[22:34] sign**
he made me do about two imitations.
**[22:36] sign**
It really was perfect.
**[22:38] sign**
He said you did a great imitation
of a failure character
**[22:40] sign**
from a certain family anime.
**[22:42] sign**
Yes.
**[22:43] sign**
You really do.
**[22:44] sign**
I don't know. I really don't know.
**[22:46] sign**
He made you do that one,
**[22:48] sign**
then he said, "Do that one next."
**[22:52] sign**
Was that an imitation?
**[22:53] sign**
No! No!
**[22:55] sign**
It wasn't malicious.
**[22:57] sign**
You did sound like him, though.
**[22:58] sign**
Yeah!
**[23:00] sign**
But it's like we have a very
soothing older sister,
**[23:04] sign**
and a fun-loving older brother.
**[23:07] sign**
Those two together.
**[23:08] sign**
It was soothing?
**[23:10] sign**
I was really nervous when we started,
**[23:13] sign**
but I feel like they pulled me along.
**[23:17] sign**
But that was true for everyone.
The staff, the director, everyone.
**[23:24] sign**
Everyone really had my back.
**[23:27] sign**
It was a great recording.
**[23:31] sign**
It was fun.
**[23:32] sign**
That's a great story.
**[23:34] sign**
Good!
**[23:35] sign**
I thought it was really nice.
