[00:02] ---
    Last time on Frankenstein Family*...
[00:08] ---
    The side effects of the medicine
[00:10] ---
    turned Aisuri-neesan into a giant*
    spider, and she ran rampant.
[00:15] ---
    While suffering under the
    same painful side effects,
[00:20] ---
    Ashisu-neesan gently stopped her.
[00:24] ---
    Their appearances used to be identical,
    but now they look totally different.
[00:30] ---
    But they still understand
    each other best of all.
[00:34] ---
    Having siblings sure is great, huh?
[00:38] ---
    Once they were back to normal,
    the landlord caught up with us in a panic.
[00:44] ---
    Seeing how concerned he
    was despite the danger,
[00:49] ---
    I started wondering if maybe
    we could really trust him.

[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

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.

    I can't wait for tomorrow!

     anime event, Anime Japan 2018!
SIGN    The attendance over four days was 152,331!
SIGN    March 25th: Akatsuki Rin-san appears at the  Frankenstein Family booth to perform the OP!
[17:01] [SONG] sign
    We asked some questions to the attendees, too!
SIGN    If you were going to be modified,  what power would you want?
[17:09] sign
    Excuse me. We'd like to ask you a question.
[17:12] sign
    The power to make anything
    I cook taste delicious.
[17:15] sign
    Anything I make is delicious. Even
    if I burn it, it turns out delicious.
[17:20] sign
    The ability to make anything
    I think about real.
[17:23] sign
    Because I'm a king.
[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
    Horie Kazuma
SIGN    Sumire
    Kubo Yurika
[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

    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.

    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.

    The landlord goes to the

[23:16] sign
    but I'm worried about his condition,
    and I can't wait for him.
[23:19] sign
    We should look for medicine
    on the island, too!
