SIGN    Summary of previous episodes
[00:01] ---
    Last time on Frankenstein Family*:
[00:06] ---
    Snow-niisan suddenly disappeared.
[00:11] ---
    Apparently his monster form asserted itself,
[00:14] ---
    and he started running around as*
    a wolfman, totally out of control.
[00:18] ---
    While on his rampage,
    he ran into Sumire-chan.
[00:22] ---
    Realizing he was attacking Sumire-chan,
[00:25] ---
    he seemed to recover his
    reason, and he ran away.
[00:28] ---
    Sumire-chan ran after the seemingly
    suffering wolfman, not realizing who it was.
[00:33] ---
    That's where she found my brother,
    collapsed in human form.
[00:38] ---
    She's a very kind person,
    so she took care after him.
[00:43] ---
    But the way she looked at him
    suggested she was in love with him.
[00:49] ---
    I ended up seeing it, and I... I...

    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.

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.
SIGN    Sorry to (the creator) 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.

    Ashisu-neesan.

[23:18] sign
    I want you to come back.
[23:20] sign
    I'll do anything to get you back!
[23:25] sign
    My brother!
