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...
[00:44] ---
    My siblings came to look for me,
    and eventually they found me.
[00:49] ---
    It made me feel really grateful to have them.

[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...

[13:52] tan
    My name is Kanisu.
[13:57] sum
    That's a strange name.
[13:58] sum
    Are you foreign?
[14:00] tan
    Yeah.

    Let's bring out the board again!
[16:24] sign
    Let's get going!
[16:24] sign
    Yeah.
[16:25] sign
    There!

    Dun-dun-dun!
[16:27] sign
    "Who's your favorite character
    in Frankenstein Family?"
[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.
SIGN    Who's your favorite character
    in Frankenstein Family?
[20:34] sign
    But my favorite character. Well, I like them all...
[20:36] sign
    Who's your favorite?
[20:38] sign
    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.
SIGN    Next time on Frankenstein Extras,
    we speak to the editor of the comic!
[23:12] sign
    It's more like, "I can hear you,
    so you might as well say it."
SIGN    Preview
[23:18] sign
    The landlord who helped us out is returning.
[23:21] sign
    We're grateful to him, but I can't
    let him see my sisters as they are.
[23:26] sign
    There should still be some of the medicine
    that lets them appear human in the lab.
[23:34] sign
    We have to get through the
    security and get it back!
