SIGN    Summary of previous episodes
[00:02] ---
    Last time on Frankenstein Family*...
[00:07] ---
    My genius planning and*
    my sisters' special powers
[00:12] ---
    allowed us to complete our mission
    and retrieve the research data.
[00:18] ---
    We ran into a little trouble, but when our
    family works together, we can do anything!
[00:26] ---
    But when I think about how the days
    we spent together in that facility
[00:30] ---
    are behind us for good,
[00:33] ---
    it makes me feel a little bit low...
[00:38] ---
    And Yu Kaito-san, the landlord,
    was waiting for us when we got back...
[00:44] ---
    I'm still not sure if we can trust adults,
[00:48] ---
    but this guy's okay... I think?
SIGN    Frankenstein Family
SIGN    #6: Monster
[03:01] suno
    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...
SIGN    Frankenstein Extras!
[18:04] sign
    Frankenstein Extras!
SIGN    Today's theme is...
[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.

    Speaking of which... they're twins,
    but they don't look at all alike.
[23:22] sign
    How did that happen?
