Netflix Reveals New Studio Colorido Anime Film, Aggretsuko Season 4 Date, and More

Image via Netflix

  Netflix held its first ever TUDUM global fan event, taking the opportunity to put the spotlight on some of its upcoming anime slate. In addition to lining up dates and more info for projects like the Super Crooks adaptation, Bright: Samurai Soul, and Ultraman season 2, the event revealed a new anime film project from Studio Colorido and a date for Aggretsuko season 4.

  The new Colorido project is Drifting Home, which has a global premiere planned for sometime in 2022. Hiroyasu Ishida (Penguin Highway) is directing the film, with a screenplay by Hayashi Mori, Hiroyasu Ishida, and Minaka Sakamoto. The film features character designs by Akihiro Nagae—with Fumi Kato as assistant character designer—as well as music by Umitaro Abe. Koji Yamamoto is producing and Twin Engine is credited with planning. 

  This marks the third animated feature film for Studio Colorido. Check out the teaser trailer and key art below.

      Synopsis:

Kosuke and Natsume have been friends since childhood, but as time goes on the relationship between the two sixth graders seems strained as they keep avoiding one another. One day during their summer vacation, they go to a housing complex that is scheduled to be demolished. Having grown up there, the place holds a lot of memories, but while playing, they suddenly get caught up in a mysterious phenomenon and when they regain consciousness, they see an entire ocean before them as the housing complex has drifted into a mysterious sea and Kosuke and Natsume with it. Will they be able to return to their previous world? A summer farewell journey begins...

  Aggretsuko season 4 will premiere globally this December. Check out some new key art while we wait to unleash more frustration.

    Synopsis:

Frustrated with her thankless office job, Retsuko the Red Panda copes with her daily struggles by belting out death metal karaoke after work. After becoming an underground idol to pay off her debts, Retsuko decides to quit OTMGirls and enjoy living a happy, normal life… but just as the company she works for is facing big changes, her relationship with Haida finally begins to move. 

  ULTRAMAN season 2 is still just slated for sometime in 2022, and Netflix shared a new teaser visual:

    Synopsis:

Several years have passed since the events of Ultraman, with the legendary "Giant of Light" (光の巨人 Hikari no Kyojin) now a memory, as it is believed he returned home after fighting the many giant aliens that invaded the Earth. Shin Hayata's son Shinjiro seems to possess a strange ability, and it is this ability, along with his father's revelation that he was Ultraman, that leads Shinjiro to battle the new aliens invading the Earth as the new Ultraman.

  Based on the comic by Mark Millar and Leinil Yu, SUPER CROOKS hits Netflix globally on November 25. Kenjiro Tsuda voices Johnny Bolt and Maaya Sakamoto voices Kasey. Check out the latest trailer, key art, and staff list below.

      Director: Motonobu Hori

Writer (Story Editor): Dai Sato

Composer: Towa Tei

Character Design Supervisor: Leinil Yu

Character Design: Takashi Mitani

Animation Production: BONES

  Bright: Samurai Soul premieres globally on October 12, and the latest addition to the cast is none other than MIYAVI. Here's a look at his character:

    And a featurette and new trailer for the film, which is being directed by Kyohei Ishiguro and written by Michiko Yokote for anime production house ARECT. 

      Synopsis:

In the time between the fall of the Shogunate and the rise of the Meiji era, a powerful bright light emitted from a wand brings an end to the long Shogunate period to avoid further bloodshed as Japan begins to shift toward a new era. Amid these circumstances, a one-eyed wandering ronin named Izou, who has lost his reason to live, and Raiden, an orc who detests murder and hopes to leave a life of thievery behind, separately meet a young elf girl named Sonya around the same time. Together, they go on a journey along the Tokaido road to bring her and the wand she holds safely to the land of the elves in the north. Standing in their path is the mysterious organization Inferni, which aims to obtain the wand and revive the Dark Lord, who intends to rule all of creation. Inferni also uses the new Meiji government in its attempt to steal the wand from Izou, Raiden and Sonya. Traveling along the Tokaido road from Kyoto to Yokohama, Izou and Raiden begin their journey to protect the wand.

Does anyone have nicknames for F-Ran's seiyuus? Because I do.

Ranmaru ⇉ Sakata Shogo ⇉ Saka-tan

Homura ⇉ Tanabe Kosuke ⇉ Be-chan

Uruu ⇉ Balleta Yutaka ⇉ Balle-san

Jyuka ⇉ Kusano Taichi ⇉ Kusano-kyun

Takara ⇉ Hori Akihiro ⇉ Hori-san

Notes

While considering ways to shorten "Sakata", I accidentally thought "Sa-tan" (Haha).

"Be-sama" (Suwabe Jun'ichi) already exists, so Tanabe has to be "Be-chan" instead (also because he's younger and less experienced).

Balle-san can also be called "Tony" but the other seiyuu call him "Balle-san", so I will, too.

"Kusanon" was an option, except I didn't think it was a good one.

I know "Hori-san" is not so much a nickname as the proper way to refer to Hori. However, Hori-san is also the protagonist of "HoriMiya", which adds a layer of comedy to the name because it's now shared by a teenage girl and man in his thirties.

Fairy Ranmaru, trailer e tutti i dettagli sul nuovo anime originale di Studio Comet

Svelati cast e staff della serie in arrivo ad aprile!

Come anticipato, durante una diretta oggi è stata presentata ufficialmente “Fairy Ranmaru: Anata no Kokoro Otasuke Shimasu”, la nuova serie animata originale di Studio Comet che, dopo “RobiHachi”, da aprile porterà sulle tv giapponesi quella che ha tutta l’aria di essere una nuova folle parodia, sullo stile di “Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!” (potete trovare le avventure dei “maghetti” in streaming su Crunchyroll).

Di seguito trovate il primo video promozionale con in sottofondo la sigla di testa “Ayashiku Get your heart”, cantata dai 5 to Heaven, quintetto formato dai doppiatori dei protagonisti.

Il cast principale è composta da:

Ranmaru Ai: Shogo Sakata (Karin Sasaki in Fire Force)

Homura Hoterase: Kohsuke Tanabe (Lauren in Bakugan: Armored Alliance) 

Uru Seiren: Yutaka Balletta (Yuto Hagi in Battery)

Juka Mutsuoka: Taichi Kusano (Taichi Betsuyaku in World Trigger) 

Takara Utashiro: Akihiro Hori 

Il progetto è supervisionato da Masakazu Hishida (King of Prism: Shiny Seven Stars , Pretty Rhythm All Star Selection) e diretto da Kousuke Kobayashi (Alice or Alice, The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar). La sceneggiatura è curata da Jou Aoba (King of Prism: Shiny Seven Stars, King of Prism: Pride the Hero), mentre il design dei personaggi è ad opera di Shouko Nagasawa, per quanto riguarda la forma umana, di Andgy nel caso delle trasformazioni e di Tomoko Miyakawa (Cute High Earth Defense Club HAPPY KISS!) se parliamo delle mascotte. Le musiche, invece, sono composte da yamazo (Yama no Susume: Third Season, Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! LOVE!).

Thanks for watching episode 3. Here's a small Uruu from Hatsumi Takahashi, the chief animation director of the everyday parts.

Likewise, here's one from Shouko Nagasawa. (This is a pun on how うるうる (uru uru) means "teary-eyed" or "damp/moist (skin, hair etc.)".)

Video comment from Balletta about episode 3.

According to Balletta, Uruu's name trended in the Kanto region during the airing of episode 3.

(Potential spoilers for episode 3!) Here's a video of Uruu's character song. Its name is 俺の心は雨模様 (Ore no Kokoro wa Ame Moyou, roughly something like "My Heart Seems Like the Rain").

(Potential spoilers for episode 3!) Guests for episode 3 were Satomi Sato as Iyo (who Hishida knows from Rilu Rilu Fairilu) and Soma Saito as Souji (who Hishida knows from King of Prism, since Saito is Yukinojo there). Hishida calls them "childhood friends" in his tweet because of his previous associations with them. By the way, this episode aired on Saito's birthday. Was it an appropriate way to end the day?...You can be the judge of that, after you watch the episode.

(Potential spoilers for episode 2!) Also, Niizuka's voice actor is Mitsuaki Madono. (No one mentioned it on Twitter, though...)

New image from Andgy. (This got tagged as "sensitive" on Twitter, so it's under a cut to be safe...)

Also, observations from Tanabe's Bar F entry (dated 17th April 2021, will contain spoilers for episode 2) under the cut.

Andgy's image (will this violate Tumblr's terms of use, or will it be flagged by a bot? Time to find out...):

Tanabe's Bar F entry:

"蘭丸は十訓botにw" - "Ranmaru's a bot for the Ten Laws, LOL."

Tanabe singles out Hori's reaction (giggling) towards how Homura can say such cool things with a straight face (referring to the things Homura said to help Shiina out in the first half of the episode, which Tanabe calls "wise saying time").

Tanabe thought, "Is Twitter okay with shots of Homura's nether regions?"

Tanabe puts a shameless link to Homura no Hana's video on YouTube at the end.

Takara makes comments at the end of every post, normally along the lines of "I-Is that so...?" or something like that. This time he went, "Y-Yeah, you're right..." It seems these comments actually come from Hori himself, because Hori tweeted, "To think Kohsuke would write such a long post...(′つω；｀)" and in the same tweet, he confirms he had the reaction Tanabe says he did. ("思えば2話の時からわいはｷｬｯｷｬｯしとったんやなぁww" - roughly, "Now that I remember it, I did giggle during episode 2, but you're accusing me of it? LOL")

Update: Typed a date wrong.

[nextnnet]

¡Nextra! Y la de tiempo que hacía que no lanzábamos uno… tanto, que es fácil que no sepas de qué va la cosa. Pues ni más ni menos, un Nextra es una serie de noticias rápidas que podrás leer de un plumazo, y por supuesto comentar, si así lo deseas. Vaya, actualidad para bebértela de un trago, algo que no te va a venir mal con estas calores. Así que vamos allá, ¡Nextra del 21 de junio de 2017!

    Actualización de Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia

Lo primero a comentar, ¡Nintendo anuncia nueva actualización de Fire Emblem: Shadows of Valentia! No es muy emocionante que digamos, más que nada viene a corregir un “problema de presentación” ocurrido con el cuarto set de DLC, y… (agárrate, que aquí viene lo bueno…) ¡ajustes que harán que disfrutes AÚN MÁS de tu experiencia de juego! Anda que no nos gustaría que a veces detallaran un poquito más estas cosas…

  ¡Eh! Y de Fire Emblem Heroes para móviles

A partir del 26 de junio, recibiremos la versión 1.5.0 de Fire Emblem Heroes. ¿Qué incorporará de nuevo? ¡Aaaaah! ¡Aaaaaaah…!

  Y también la versión 3.0.1 de Pokémon Duel

Ve preparando 163 MB en tu móvil para descargarla, pues te interesará que corrija “diversos bugs” sin especificar. Además, balancea a Raikou, Garchomp, Zygarde, Steelix, Voltorb, Plusle y Minun, entre otras mejoras.

  ¡No te equivoques! Cappy no posee a los enemigos… los captura, según Nintendo

Es que lo de poseer lo mismo les sonaba feo o perturbador… por lo que Nintendo está insistiendo en que Cappy captura, no posee. Pero a ver, ¿no es en realidad un fantasma?

  Super Mario Odyssey tiene… ¡de 30 a 50 lunas por nivel!

Un vídeo procedente del E3, en el que un responsable de Nintendo desvela un detalle que de pequeño tiene poco…

  ¡Pero qué es esto! ¡Exceso de Super Mario Odyssey!

Bueno, es lo que pasa cuando estás enamorado, que no paras de hablar y hablar… en este caso, de nuestro fontanero bigotudo favorito. Terminamos con tanto Odyssey con un par de tweets de su cuenta oficial nipona, ¡no dejes de seguirla! Van colgando cosas muy chulas, en este caso, imágenes de cerca de la “nave sombrero” que llevará a Super Mario de aquí para allá en su viaje por el mundo.

https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/877432150621995008

https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/877282494717902849

Tanto Mario… tanto Mario… ¿y Sonic Mania?

Del erizo azul también tenemos materiales a los que echar un ojo, como este gameplay de Sonic Mania.

  Amor de conveniencia. ¿Por qué Nintendo no puede olvidarse de 3DS?

Nintendo AMA a 3DS, y es evidente por qué. Solo hay que echar un ojo a Wii U, ¿no vendes lo suficiente? Pues adiós y muy buenas. Pero resulta que no solo hay millones de portátiles esteoroscópicas (o dosdeésicas) repartidas por todo el planeta, sino que además supone actualmente poco más del 50% del volumen de su negocio, como nos muestra el reputado analista Daniel Ahmad en este tweet:

https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/876839415158583296

A la derecha, tenemos el periodo desde el 1 de abril de 2015 al 31 de marzo de 2016, a la izquierda el pasado año fiscal que terminó a finales de marzo de 2017. Nintendo Switch ha entrado fuerte comiéndose a Wii U de un bocado, pero a la portátil no se la puede ignorar…

  ¡Llega el Switch Fidget Spinner!

Eh… esto… bueno, poco hay que decir más. Dedicarle tiempo a estos virales cachivaches no es lo nuestro, pero bueno, tenía que surgir en algún momento que alguien se le ocurriera crear el Switch Fidget Spinner. Tiene pinta de ser cutre de narices… ¡a alguien suponemos que le gustará!

  Se celebra el décimo año de Mario Marathon

¿Mario Maraqué? ¡Mario Marathon! Hace más de diez años, un grupo de jugadores fans de nuestro querido fontanero se propuso crear una maratón benéfica para ayudar a los más necesitados. 43 millones de dólares en juguetes, juegos, libros y donaciones han conseguido recaudar desde su primera edición en 2003 (en efecto, ¡no se pudo celebrar todos los años!, y en esta ocasión planean romper moldes para ayudar a Child’s Play Charity. A partir del 23 de junio comienza esta Maratón de los Mario más clásicos, así como los más actuales, con más de 100 horas de juego en pos de la caridad, que podrás seguir en su canal de Twitch.

    ¡¡¡MIEDITO!!!… que vas a pasar en Switch con Vaccine (?)

El 29 de junio llega a las Nintendo Switch niponas… Vaccine. “¿Eh? Pero eso no salió ya en Wii U y de miedo tenía lo que yo de orondo y vestido de rojo bigotudo fontanero?” Pues sí, Luigi, mucho nos tememos que tus paseos por mansiones deben ser más escalofriantes que este título, pero bueno, va a salir en Nintendo Switch, y eso es lo que importa. Por ahora, ni palabra de si llegará a Occidente, pero aquí tenéis su tráiler de lanzamiento.

      ERROR… en los códigos del DLC de Runbow Pocket Deluxe, ¡pero con solución!

Vas a meter el código y… nada, que no te has equivocado, ¡que es así! Lo que pasa es que, tal y como advierten sus creadores en su cuenta de Twitter, a la hora de imprimir el código del DLC y del tema para el menú HOME de 3DS… ¡los han colocado a la inversa! Solución: el del DLC es el del tema del menú HOME, y a la inversa. ¡Esto daba para puzle de Santuario!

  25 minutitos de Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

¿El E3 2017 ya es historia? Sí, pero lo que nos queda todavía por ver de las cosas que se grabaron por allí… ¿Por ejemplo? Este gameplay de Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.

  A IGA… le gusta el vino blanco

Acerca de este artwork… resulta que no tiró esa copa de vino tinto solo porque simbolizara Wii U (que sí, que es un montaje ;^D), sino también porque no era vino blanco… o eso suponemos

  Se nos cae un mito. Era fácil imaginarse a Koji Igarashi admirando una roja copa de vino tinto antes de disfrutarla hasta la última gota, como si del rey de los vampiros se tratase (claro, cambia vino por sangre). Pero no, resulta que al señor le gusta más el vino blanco que el tinto. ¿Kojiqué? ¡IGA hombre! Responsable de alguno de los mejores Castlevania de la historia, inmerso en estos momentos en Bloodstained… ¿Lo pillas ahora?

  Level-5 le hace cada vez más ojitos a Nintendo

  Tienes una noticia dedicada en NextN a este tema, pero no pasaremos por alto comentarlo por aquí. A Akihiro Hino le preguntaron en una entrevista cómo veía el temita con Nintendo, ahora que Nintendo Switch está triunfando, ¿tenían planes para crear juegos para la consola híbrida? El popular CEO de Level-5 reconoció que la Gran N estaba recuperando su brillo con el lanzamiento de esta nueva consola, por lo que era momento de incrementar el volumen de desarrollos con Nintendo. En realidad, por entre medio se refirieron a Nintendo como un “reino”, y cómo había mejorado este y tal y cual, pero vaya, el mensaje tras de eso es que están contentos con los resultados y sin duda vamos a ver juegos de Level-5 en Nintendo Switch. Ale, menos reinos, y más nombres.

  ¿One Piece? ¿JoJo’s Bizarre? ¿¡Qué influenció en ARMS!?

Pues no, ni Sombrero de Paja, ni los del “ora ora ora ora…!!!!” Para Masaaki Ishikawa, director artístico de ARMS, la “influencia definitiva” fue un anime que le encantaba de pequeño: Dragon Ball, aunque reconoce que otra gran inspiración fue Akira. Por cierto, Spring Man fue el primer luchador que crearon.

  Tetsuya Nomura diseña personajes molones para Xenoblade Chronicles 2

#gallery-0-5 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-5 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Resulta que Tetsuya Nomura, conocido diseñador freelance de estrecha relación con Square Enix, no solo ha diseñado un personaje para Xenoblade Chronicles 2, sino que han sido dos. Desconocemos sus nombres, pero sí que forman parte de una misteriosa organización llamada “Ira” o “Torna”, y que son los dos que ves sobre estas líneas. Decir que en Xenoblade Chronicles X también participaron infinidad de importantes diseñadores, compositores y demás. ¡A Monolith Soft le encantan este tipo de colaboraciones!

  Project X Zone dice adiós a la Nintendo eShop japonesa, por razones desconocidas

Seguimos comentando un tema que guarda relación con Monolith Soft… y es que uno de los títulos desarrollados por el estudio, Project X Zone 2, será retirado de la Nintendo eShop nipona a partir del 30 de junio. ¿Por qué habrán decidido eliminar de la tienda digital este HYPER crossover de Bandai Namco, Capcom y SEGA? Ni idea…

    No solo de calamárdicos headsets vive el jugador de Nintendo Switch

Dejando todo el tema de los polémicos cables aparte, el headset de Splatoon 2 para Nintendo Switch te puede gustar más o menos. La verdad es que mola mogollón, pero también puede que quieras hacerte con algo más convencional. Dicho y hecho, pues Hori ha presentado su otra alternativa, a la venta en julio de 2017 (a puntito de llegar Splatoon 2, al igual que el otro). ¿Cuál te gusta más?

  https://twitter.com/HORI__OFFICIAL/status/877452267456155648

  Clásicos de Wii U y Nintendo 64 para dar de comer a Wii U

La Nintendo eShop nipona de Wii U recibirá ni más ni menos que cinco juegos clásicos, repartidos entre cuatro de Wii (Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, Pikmin, Pikmin 2 y WarioWare: Smooth Moves) y uno de Nintendo 64 (Excitebike 64). Bueno, a falta de nuevos juegos, ahí están los clásicos para sacar las castañas del juego…

    ¡Y hasta aquí el Nextra! 21 JUNIO 2017! ¿Qué dices? ¿Falta alguna noticia por mencionar? ¡Súmala tú en los comentarios de este Nextra!

Nextra! 21 JUNIO 2017 – Actualizaciones, posesiones, terror, vino tinto. ¡Recopilación de 20 noticias express! ¡Nextra! Y la de tiempo que hacía que no lanzábamos uno... tanto, que es fácil que no sepas de qué va la cosa.

OP / ED Performers Revealed for Fairy Ranmaru TV Anime

  The opening and ending theme song performers have been revealed for Fairy Ranmaru ~Anata no Kokoro Otasuke Shimasu~ ("Fairy Ranmaru ~We Will Help Your Heart~"), an upcoming original magical boy TV anime featuring a group of five handsome young men who transform in order to help their clients heal the emptiness in their hearts.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for the Halloween talkshow. Balletta and Hori have a video message for you here. Likewise, there is one from Tanabe and Kusano here, plus there are many pictures of the voice actors fooling around on the official Twitter, such as this series of photos called "Today's Green Room".

Here's Hori with a video to hype up the Special Live event on the 18th of September. At the time of posting, there were 5 days to go.

Animage's normal July edition (sold on the 10th of June, i.e. today) has a B2 poster with Ranmaru and Sirius. On the other side are Jiro Tanaka (Kaoru Masaki) and Riku Kakei (Katsuhiro Suzuki) from Dogengers ~ Nice Buddy ~ (a 2nd series of a tokusatsu series). Rengoku from Demon Slayer/Kimetsu no Yaiba is on the front cover. There is also the back half of an interview with Hishida, including art boards for the Heaven’s Rooms.

It's time for Sweets Paradise if you're based in Japan (although be sure to stay COVID-safe!). This picture (from Sumiya's photo tweet) is of Sumiya and Hori (from left to right), but there's also tweets from Sakata, Balletta, Tanabe and Kusano, plus a video of Sumiya "breathing [in] Ranmaru" (i.e. having a coffee with Ranmaru latte art on it).

Merch is now available for preorder from Chara-On. There’s acrylic portraits, 120 cm towels, trading prism badges (pictured below, 10 in total, 6 cm wide) and trading can badges (10 in total, 56 mm wide).

Thanks to those who showed up at the Zoom talk shows yesterday (the 22nd of August). There are also videos from Kusano + Balletta and Hori + Sakata.

Ep. 10's blog post

This blog post, with Hori's second entrance, is dated 15th June 2021. Spoilers below, as always!

Notes before we begin:

For those of you who didn't check out ep. 9's blog post, see tweet 2 on that for more info about one of the characters of the day.

Due to the unintended delay on this post, I've tried to translate more completely than usual and that caused the release of this post to be postponed by another day...Sorry. Even still, consult the actual post for proper placement of emojis, coloured text etc.

This time, just for efficiency's sake, I skipped a lot of the honorifics because Hori refers to Takara, Tina and Tsumahara as -san. I've only left it in for "Balle-san" (a one-off) and when other people refer to Hori as "Hori-san" (as opposed to when Hori calls himself "Hori" with no honorific).

Also, an advance note that you'll probably want to cry when Hori pulls out the crying kaomoji. (I wanted to cry at two points when he did, at least.)

CR translations were used where I could chase them up.

Post title: バリバリのバリの禁忌其の拾！

The Very Vigorous Taboo No. Ten! [T/N: バリバリのバリ (baribari no bari) has some obvious repetition in Japanese, so I had to try convey that in English as well, even though small!Takara is more "working hard" than "vigorous". The final "bari" is a Hakata dialect thing - we already know Hori is from Fukuoka, so that fits. I had to translate the title because this phrase appears later on.]

皆様、お世話になっております。

Everyone, thank you for taking care of me. Fairy蘭丸〜あなたの心お助けします〜で雅楽代 寶 を演じております、堀 曜宏と申します。

I am called Akihiro Hori, who voices Takara Utashiro in Fairy Ranmaru ~We Will Help Your Heart~. 又の名をジャガイモ堀堀です、本日は何卒よろしくお願いします。

Also known as "Potato Digging Hori", please kindly take care of me today. [T/N: "Potato digging" = jagaimo hori, so "potato digging Hori" = jagaimo hori Hori. It also makes reference to the ep. where the kids dug up potatoes.] 禁忌其の拾『快楽』熱かったですね！！！

Episode 10, "Hedonism", was passionate, wasn't it?!!! 今回は寶さんの二回目のお当番回ということで、本編を見返しながら楽しめるような感想を主観���すが、勢いと共に書かせて頂きたいと思います。

This time was Takara's second focus episode. Although we see [elements] that recur from the original story [ep. 5], the impressions we are able to enjoy are subjective and so I will write with fervour. 開幕は女王チームとの密談からSTART!!

We START by opening the curtain on the queen team's private talk!! [T/N: "Queen team" = Queen + Houjou (+ sloth).] シリウスについて女王からせっつかれている寶さん。

The Queen is pestering Takara about Sirius. 座長…誰の台詞が麩菓子じゃい！！！！

Leader...whose lines are fugashi!!!! [T/N: Fugashi are a type of Japanese sweet. There are sweet potato fugashi, so I assume this is either a typo or a pun on a similar word. If it's a pun, the word is likely to be おかしい (strange, suspicious, unbecoming).] [T/N 2: The line below suggests "leader" (zachou) = Ranmaru, so this sentence would be referring to Sakata.] でも生配信で話している時の堀からは想像できないと思いますが…実は普段の堀は、どうやら寶さんの女王様に対する話し方くらいのらりくらりでみんなと通話しているらしく、このシーンをみんなで見てる時、ざちょ「堀さんだ」草「堀さんだねぇ」なんて言われながらみんなに笑われておりました。

However, while the stream was happening, I couldn't imagine this, but...to tell the truth, the way I usually speak to everyone is like Takara's non-committal way of speaking to the Queen, so when everyone saw this scene, the leader [Sakata] went, "That's Hori-san," and Kusano went, "That's Hori-san, isn't it?" without saying anything and so everyone laughed. 電話が切れた後の豊穣さんと女王の会話から、寶さんのお父上が夭聖界にとって如何に大事な存在だったかがわかります。

After the call was cut, we learn how important Takara's father is in the fairy world from Houjou and the Queen's conversation. そんな豊穣さんからの厚い信頼に応えるように、どこかのお姉さんへお誘いをかける寶さん…

While proving worthy of Houjou's kind confidence, Takara is asking a girl out somewhere... お相手の名前、ayakoさんって面白い名前だなぁと思ってたら、堀気づいちゃいました。[T/N: The source text, as you can see when you pause the ep. at the right time, is meant to say "[at sign]yako", but the at sign was tripping the "mention a user" function in Tumblr, so I had to swap it out with a lowercase A where it appears in this post.]

His partner's name is "ayako", which I thought was an amusing name. これ、あやこって読むんですね！！！（アハ体験）

This is read "Ayako", isn't it?!!! (a-ha moment) そしてはい、きました、 バリバリのバリのショタカラさん！！！！（人間体）

Also, we got to see him, the very vigorous sho-Takara!!!! (human form) [T/N: Literally "we got to see him" was "[he] came", LOL.] [T/N 2: Sho-Takara = shota (prepubescent boy) + Takara.] あまりの可愛さにコメントも騒然としましたね。

There was an uproar in the comments that he's excessively cute. 回想シーンでは以前も登場した、弁護士さんと寶さんの関係も明らかになりました。

The relationship between the lawyer, who's appeared before this flashback scene, and Takara is also made clear. 弁護士さんも元夭聖、しかも寶さんのお父上とただならぬ関係だったみたいです。

The lawyer was also from the fairy world and had a strong relationship with Takara's father. 幼い寶さんは弁護士さんからどんな風に人間界の生き方を仕込まれたんでしょうか…

What sort of way of living in the human world did the very young Takara learn from the lawyer...? 半裸シーツで肌に傷をおった姿のショタカラさんが、窓の外を見上げながら「いつかきっと… 」と呟く様子にその壮絶さを感じます。

The half-naked and wounded sho-Takara, looking out the window and whispering, "Someday, surely..." [gives off a] heroic feeling. [T/N: I couldn't use the CR quote for this because that's translated more in context, as just "someday".] 寶さんのエセ関西弁は、この弁護士さんに仕込まれた影響だったんですね。

Takara's fake Kansai accent is acquired from the lawyer's. そして現代に戻ったと思ったら、 飛んで火にいる子猫ちゅわん！

Also, when we think we've returned to the present, a kitten jumps into the flame! [T/N: This translation builds off the CR version of the line, "Like a kitten to the flame!"] 今回の依頼人、ティナさんの登場です！！

This time's client, Tina, appears!! 「ちょっと何言ってるかわからないんだけど！」

"Oh, please! That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" 寶さんこの時のっけから飛ばしまくっていたので、堀はこの台詞がツボに入って笑いを堪えるのが大変でした。

Takara, at that time, couldn't help but send her flying from the beginning and it was difficult for me because I was trying not to laugh - there was "tsubo" in my lines. あいも変わらずスマートに名刺を渡すも、「世界で一番惚れてる男のところに連れてって！」とピシャリ。

Even after [Takara was] as smooth as ever and [handed] over the business card, she refused with "Take me to the man I love most!" [T/N: The word for "smooth" here is literally "smart", but "smart" doesn't seem to have the right connotations.] …どうやら今回の依頼人も、一筋縄ではいかないみたいです。

...apparently, this time's client seems very straightforward. 『快楽』ﾁﾘﾘﾘﾝ

"Hedonism" *ring ring ring* 寶さんはティナさんをお子さんのお迎えに連れて行き、そのまま2人を仕事場へと送り届けます。

Takara brought Tina to her child and, without a pause, brought those two to [Tina's] workplace. 仕事場ではみんなでティナさんのお子さんをあやしていたり、同僚の方のティナさんのダンスへの信頼に、思わずいい職場だなぁと感心する堀でしたが。。。

At the workplace, everyone comforted Tina's child and Tina's colleagues had confidence in her dance, so I admired, without thinking, how good of a workplace it was... そこに現れる父親、妻原さんですよ！！！！！（ﾌﾝﾇｰ‼︎）

Then the husband, Tsumahara, appeared!!!!! (Barbarian!!) [T/N: There is no confirmed reading of this name, so it might be "Tsumabara".] 前回のうるう回の久二さんも相当でしたが…勝るとも劣らない圧倒的なそれ…っ！！

He's equivalent to last time's (Uruu's episode's) Kyuji...but [Kyuji] overwhelmingly compares favourably to that guy...!! お子さんの顔も見ずにお金をせびるのみならず、ティナさんの一張羅のコートまで…！！

Not only does he demand money without seeing his child's face, but he also goes as far as taking Tina's one good coat...!! ちょっと申し訳なさそうにして受け取るのがまた、なんかもう…っ！！

The fact he looks a little apologetic as he receives it is just...!! だのにティナさんは、頑張って稼がなきゃって…″家族″のためにって(′つω；｀)

Despite this, Tina must try her hardest to make money...for her "family". (′つω；｀) その言葉は、お子さんに対してだけじゃなくて…うわぁああああ！！！

Those word aren't just for her family...uwaaaaa!!! 次のカットで妻原さんは貰ったそのお金をギャンブルに突っ込んでました（遠い目）

In the next cut, Tsumahara pushes the money he received into gambling. (distant eyes) この時の寶さんのモテポイント、 「姉さん、そろそろ出番でっせ」は何も見なかったように落ち着いて投げてあげて、 それでも見られたくない所を見られちゃった、というニュアンスが返ってきたら 「こういうことする俺、格好ええやろ？」と冗談まじりに茶化しながら優しさを渡す。

This is the time Takara is popular. He says, "Dearie? I think you're on." He calms down and gives up as if he never saw anything, but even still, after he returned [from seeing her exchange with Tsumahara] with a nuance of "he saw what he did not want to see", he would joke gently, "Aren't I cool for doing this sort of thing?" and poke fun at himself. この機微がモテる大人のテクニックなんですよ…！！

This subtlety is a technique popular with adults...!! 見てくださってる男性の皆さんにも是非取り入れていただきたい…なぁみんな！！？

Any men watching should certainly take in this [advice]...yeah, everyone?!! 堀は後十年は修行させてください(′・ω・｀)

Please train me [in the art of love] for another 10 years. (′・ω・｀) はい、一方BAR Fは今日もカレーです。

Yes, at the same time, there's curry at Bar F today too. 前回のラストが熱い…！展開だっただけに、皆さんあれからどうなったのか、眠れない夜を過ごされていたと思います。

The conclusion last time was intense...! I'm sure everyone had a sleepless night wondering what happened after that development. 何気なく水をうるうくんに渡す焔くん 、 何気なく焔くんを気遣ううるうくん、 照れながらも返事をする焔くん、 嬉しそうな蘭丸樹果バックン。

Homura, who's casually giving water to Uruu,

Uruu, who worries about Homura,

Homura, who blushes while responding,

Ranmaru, Juka and Bakkun, who seem happy. てぇてぇが過ぎてぇ堀は平身低頭（てぇとう）ですありがてぇ…ありがてぇてぇ！！！！

They're excessively precious and I was prostrating myself, thanking them...thanks, precious!!!! [T/N: Hori slurs several of his words in this sentence, typically てぇてぇ = toutoi (precious/noble), 平身低頭 = heishin teitou (prostrating oneself) and ありがてぇ = arigatou (thank you). He then combines てぇてぇ and ありがてぇ, hence "precious".] それから所変わってお出掛け中の寶さん、 いつも通りキスのおねだりを茶化しながら交わしていきます。

Then, in the meantime, Takara was out, as always, begging for kisses and teasing a woman. 聞こえないくらいの声で憂うように、「わいが欲しいのは、なんやろなぁ」とポツリ。

In a voice that can barely be heard, he mumbles, "I don't know what I want..." この台詞は後の展開にも効いてくる凄く大事な台詞なんですが…。

This line is very important in terms of later developments... コメントで「（カレーには）ナンやろなぁ…」って書いた人怒らないから正直に言いなさい（ﾋﾟｷﾋﾟｷ）

In the comments, there was a person who wrote, "I don't know what (curry) I want..." - please say who you are, I won't be mad *veins snap* Aパートおしまい！

That's the end of the A part! ブログでもCM入ります！情報いっぱいだよ！

This is a blog, but I'll still insert ads! There's a lot of info! ・山野ホールでライブします！（9/18だよ！）

- The live show at Noyama Hall! (On the 18th of September!) ・特典盛り沢山のBD、DVD発売します！（第1巻は６/16発売！）

- The BD/DVD is being sold, with lots of bonuses! (1st BD/DVD sold on the 16th of June!) ・キャラソンアルバムHEAVENS DOOR発売します！（同じく6/16、遂に艶歌が全部聞けるよ！）

- The character song album HEAVEN'S DOOR is being sold! (On the same day [as the BD/DVD], the 16th of June, so you can finally hear the whole enka!) てつえーさん「Nice Pole Dance…ﾀﾞﾝｽﾀﾞﾝｽ」（ええ声エコー）

Tetsuei [Sumiya]: "Nice pole dance...(dance dance)" (nice voice echo) Bパートいきます！！

To the B part!! 開幕ティナさんのキラキラポールダンスからスタート！！

The curtain opens on Tina, who starts with a sparkling pole dance!! お子さんを膝に乗せて馴染んでいる寶さん。

The child, who's on the lap of and [now] accustomed to Takara. お子さんのママ～！の声、可愛いですねぇ(´,,･Д･,,`)

The child's cry of "Mama~!" was cute, wasn't it? (´,,･Д･,,`) やはり彼のためにも、家族の為にも頑張るというティナさん。

Of course, Tina will try hard for his sake, for the family's sake. 自身の生い立ちから、家族という存在をいかに大事にしているかが伺えます。

From his own background, we can see how much he values the existence of his family. 5話の寶回の時の依頼人の恵夢さんもやはり家族のために身を粉にして働いていましたし、今回のティナさんも…。

From episode 5's Takara episode, the client, Emu, also worked assiduously for her family, so this time's Tina also... 寶さんにも金鋼族の復興のため、寶さんのため、痩せ細った体で自分の食べるものすら譲ってくれたお母さんという存在がいたからこそ、家族のために自分を犠牲にして頑張る方に複雑な思いを抱いてしまうのでは無いでしょうか。

In order for Takara to revive the Metallum Clan, for Takara's sake, Takara's mother even gave over her own food and it is precisely because of that that she became a victim of trying hard for the sake of her family and that's why Takara has such complicated emotions, is it not? しかも今回はその″家族″が不義を行っているなんて…。

Moreover, this time, this time's "family" is unjust... そしてそして！！！！！

Also, also!!!!! お待たせしました！銭湯ノルマ達成ですありがとうございます！！

Thanks for waiting! Thanks for fulfilling the bath quota!! この時流れてきた「みんなストローは持ったかァ！！」ってコメント、爆笑しました。

At this time, the comment that came about was "Everyone's holding straws!!" and so there was uproarious laughter. [T/N: It's not clear if there's just one person laughing or many, hence the intentional vagueness.] ですが今回の銭湯���中身はすっごくシリウス…じゃなかったシリアス。

However, this time's bath [scene] is amazingly serious...not (Sirius). [T/N: Hori inserts Sirius's name at the end of the sentence as a pun on "serious", so if it seemed like the translation said "serious, not serious", I did my job.] みんなの顔を眺めながら、豊穣さんと交わした特命の話を回想していきます。

After we gaze at everyone's faces, we go to a flashback scene where [Takara is] given his directive from Houjou. その中には女王に内密の話まで…そんな重たいものを背負いながら、寶さんはみんなに毎日カレーを作っていたんですね。

In that it's to the point it's kept a secret from the Queen...Takara makes curry for everyone everyday while burdened with those heavy things, huh? でも、これまで毎日みんなでカレーを食べて、銭湯に入って、愛著を集めて、日々を過ごして。

However, until now, every day everyone's eaten their curry, gone to the bath, gathered attachment and spent their days [together].

家族として一緒に過ごしてきたみんなの顔を見回した時の寶さんの顔は、優しさに満ち溢れた顔でした。

As family, when spending time together and looking around at everyone's faces, Takara's face is full of affection. この時の「楽しい時間は長く続きまへんな」という台詞。

At this time, there is the line: "The fun times never last, do they?" 寶さんのみならず、堀自身もF蘭の最終回の近さを意識しておりましたので、言葉にした時に込み上げるものがありました。

Not only Takara, but I personally realised F-Ran's final episode is near and so, while I'm bad at putting this into words, [emotions] welled up inside me. そして明らかになる妻原さんの別の家族の存在。

Then, it becomes clear Tsumahara has a different family. ティナさんと妻原さんの会話が始まります。

Tina starts a conversation with Tsumahara. もうここの妻原さんのクズっぷりが真骨頂！！！

Already, the Tsumahara from this [point in] time's true worth is basically scum!!! ティナさんがあまりにもあまりにも可哀想で…

Tina is really, really unfortunate... 「お前も俺を見捨てるんだな！！」

"So, you're abandoning me too!!" あんた、別のところでも同じようなことしとったんか…？

Aren't you the same, even though it's from a different perspective...? 絶望のあまり、倒されたゴミ袋の上で笑うしかなくなってしまうティナさん。

Without much remorse, Tina has no choice as she's left collapsed on the rubbish bags and Tsumahara laughs. そこに夭聖は現れるんです…！！

Then, the fairies appear...!! 「美人さん、お持ち帰りしてええか？」

"Lovely lady, might I walk you home?" ほんと、全人類言ってみたい台詞トップ5にランクインする台詞です…！！

Really, that's going to rank in the top 5 lines that all of humanity wants to be said to them...!! チャイルドシートを携えたいつもの車でティナさんの話を聞く寶さん。

Takara listens to the story of Tina, who's always carrying a child seat around with her. 「わかってた、利用されてるだけって」

"I knew...some part of me knew he was just using me." 「なのに、あいつがポケットに手を入れた時にさ、指輪かなって思ったんだよね」

"But when he reached into his pocket, I honestly thought it might be a ring." 「笑顔で溢れるあったかい家庭、作りたかったの」

"I wanted to create a happy family, full of smiles..." この台詞が悲痛過ぎて…。

These lines are too sorrowful... 堀は最初、思わず拳を握りしめて返す台詞をかけてしまいました。

I, at first, clenched my fists without thinking at these lines. ですがこの時、製作陣から、何より真摯に優しさを向けてあげて。

However, this time, I felt sincerely affectionate for this cobbled-together group. 頑張っている人は報われるんだよ。ってティナに伝えて欲しい、というディレクションを頂いて。

I received the direction that I should convey to Tina, "Hard work will be rewarded!" このシーンの台詞は寶さん自身の言葉で、その思いが乗らなきゃダメなんだと何度もトライさせていただきました。

This scene's dialogue is in Takara's own words and I had to try repeatedly to convey his thoughts on it. 「あなたの心、頂けますか？」 から大自然の流れでジャ…変身の時間だぁーーー！！！！！

After "Could I take your heart?", the scene changes and...it's transformation time---!!!!! 思わずナイスバルク！と声をかけたくなる惚れ惚れする筋肉。

Without thinking, I was charmed by [Takara's] muscles and wanted to call out, "Nice bulk!" 画面いっぱいに広がる肉体美と拳、地面をぶっ壊しながらあげる名乗り。

The physical beauty of his body and fists filled the screen, he broke the ground and called out his name. 格好よさが臨界点突破して美しいに昇華しとるんですよ！！！！！！！

His coolness has broken through the critical point and sublimated itself into beauty!!!!!!! 妻原さんはティナさんとあんな会話をした後だというのに、 魂が昂りながら「夢も愛もどうでもいい」なんて曰いながらギャンブルに興じていらっしゃいますねぇ…。

Tsumahara, even after he had that conversation with Tina, happily spends his days gambling, arousing his spirit as he says, "What do dreams and love matter?" バレさん、技を借りるぜ…！！

Balle-san, I'll borrow a technique of yours...!! ふざけんにょ！！！！！

Stop screwing around!!!!! [T/N: reference to Balle-san's ep. 9 post] そして始まる艶歌、五話もそうでしたが、歌詞が今回の話とのリンクして、絵の美しさも合間って没入してしまいます。

Then the enka begins - it was in ep. 5 as well but the lyrics are linked to this episode and I was immersed in the beauty of the visuals for a moment. 早くフルで聴いてほしい！！！皆様、是非HEAVENS DOORを！「愛の勘定」も勿論ですが、みんなの艶歌をフルで聴けばストーリーとのリンクが増して、よりグッと来るはずです！！！

I want you to hurry and listen to the full version!!!! Everyone, please listen to HEAVEN'S DOOR! There's "Payment of Love" of course, but if you listen to everyone's full enka, you'll [be able to make] links with the story and it will hit you in the feels!!! 艶歌が終わり、ドアが開けば今回のヘブンズ空間はまるで屏風の中に入ったかのような和風の世界。

After the enka ends, the door opens to this time's Heaven's Room, which is a Japanese-style world quite like that on a folding screen. そこに雷神と雷神を模したかのような敵が現れます。

Then, enemies that look like the well-known thunder god and a thunder god's imitation appear. [T/N: referring to Raijin] 毎回のことですが、ヘブンズ空間も本当に趣向を凝らしてあって…ど緊張のバトルシーンのはずなのに、思わず堀の魂も昂ってしまいます…！！！

It happens every time, but these Heaven's Rooms are really ingenious...there should've been a hugely nerve-wracking battle scene, but without thinking, my spirit was unintentionally aroused...!!! なんと今回の鍵穴にはティナさんとお子さんの2人が！

What? This time Tina and her child are both behind the keyhole! なぜわかったノルマに愛らしい声が混ざる日が来るとは。

I never thought I'd see the day where a charming voice would be mixed in with the "What? I got it!" quota. そしてもう一方の鍵穴からは妻原さんの極悪な声が…

Also, in the other keyhole is Tsumahara's heinous voice... 「人はなあ！快楽には勝てねぇんだよ！」 「酒！タバコ！セッッッ！！薬物！！特にギャンブルはなぁ！！」

"A person can't conquer their hedonistic tendencies! The pleasures of drinking! Smoking! Sex! Drugs! And gambling especially!!" [T/N: Hori censors the word "sex" by "stuttering" over the final syllable but CR doesn't, so I've sided with the latter.] 座長が現場で ハッキリ言ったぁーーー！！！ってツッコんでたのを覚えていますw

"The leader put it clearly at the time--!!!" I remember joking. ですが、言葉のパワーはもうネタの領域を超えた、狂気の世界のそれです。

However, that is a mad world where the power of words is beyond the realm of stories. その言葉に促されるように敵から酒の玉攻撃が、 そしてもう一方の敵からはヤニの煙の攻撃が。

With those urging words, the enemies send bubbles of alcohol and then from the other side comes a tobacco smoke attack. この時のうめき声のディレクションは、堀くん今○○kgの重りが乗ってるよ！！ と言われながら、体にそれに合わせた負荷をかけるように声を出していました。次の日筋肉痛になりました。

At this time, when the direction, "Groan and pretend you have a __ kg weight on you!!" was given, as I shouted, it was like a corresponding load was being added. The next day my muscles hurt. なんとか持ち堪えた寶さんですが、 「なら、これならどうかしら…」 その言葉と共に現れる寶さんのお母さんの幻想。

Takara's able to hold out somehow, but then an illusion of Takara's mother appears with the words, "Well, what will you do?" 前回もうるうくんのお母さんと焔くんのお父さんが現れましたが、まさか今回は寶さんのお母さんが…。

Last time, Uruu's mother and Homura's father appeared, so surely this time Takara's mother... しかもこんな形で痩せ細っていないお母さんの姿を見ることになるなんて…！

Furthermore, to see his not-so-skinny mother in this form...! あの優しかった声で、こちらに攻撃をかけてきます。

This is the attack that's given with that gentle voice. 押し倒されて首をしめられる寶さん。

Takara is being held down and strangled [by his mother's illusion]. この時の台詞の色気も相まって、まるで2人が繋がっているような…

Coupled with the sexiness of the dialogue at this point, it's as if the two are connected... 更に畳み掛けるようにチェリーの入ったグラスから液体を口に含み、そのマッマ寶さんの口に流し込みます。

Furthermore, as if pressing for answers, Takara's mother uses her mouth to pour liquid into Takara's mouth, from a glass with a cherry in it. 苦しさのあまり悶絶絶叫する寶さん、これは先の妻原さんの「酒、タバコ、セッッッッ、そして薬物」それらの快楽を暗喩しているのでしょうか。

Is Takara, who's about to scream and faint in agony, [being subjected to] metaphors for hedonism Tsumahara was mentioning earlier? そしてシリウスの登場です。

Also, Sirius appears. す○ざんまいのポーズって言うのやめーや！！！

Stop doing the Su___zanmai pose!!! [T/N: referring to the dude who stands with his hands outstretched from Sushizanmai] しかし今回の句には堀は思わず確かに…と頷いてしまいました。

However, this time I couldn't help but nod and say, "Indeed..." 人は何故ほんの刹那の快楽のために沢山のものを犠牲にしてしまうのか…

Why do we sacrifice so much for a fleeting moment of pleasure? むしろ刹那だからこそ、それを追い求めてしまうのかもしれませんね（哲学）

Rather, it's because it's momentary that we chase it and seek it out? (philosophising) 苦しみながらも、「俺が欲しいものはこんなんじゃない」と懸命に耐える寶。

Even in agony, Takara eagerly bears it [and says], "This isn't what I want." しかしそれも、「あなたが欲しいのは、母親からの豊満な愛情でしょう？」と、肥大化した幻想に押しつぶされる寶さん。

However, in addition to that, the illusion becomes fat [with the words], "What you want is the full-bodied love of your mother!" ニコニコのタグにもありましたが、確かに快楽要素全部乗せプレスは重い、重すぎます。

As the tag on Nico Nico said, it is true that all the hedonistic elements being pressed are heavy, far too heavy, イきかける寶さんですがなんとか力を振り絞り、幻想を押しのけます。

Takara is about to have the life choked out of him, but he comes to his senses and pushes the illusion away. しかしそれが最後の力だったのか、体が動かず追撃をかわせそうにありません…！

However, that was the last of his strength and so he's not able to move...! これで終わりか…と思ったその瞬間ですよ！！！！！

This was the moment...I thought it was the end!!!!! 最高に勇ましい掛け声と共に焔が敵の攻撃から寶を守ります！！

With a shout, Homura, who's the best and heroic, comes and protects Takara from attack!! そのまま蘭丸とうるうが雷神と風神を倒し、樹果が 「オン・アユス・ヴァルタ！」の掛け声とともにペロキャンを振って寶さんを回復してくれます。

Similarly, Ranmaru and Uruu bring down the thunder gods and, with his tongue stuck out and his lollipop, Juka yells, "On ayus valta!" to heal Takara. ここ、さいっっっっっこうに熱かったです！！！！！

This was the most intensssssssssssssse [moment]!!!!! 寶のピンチに駆けつけるファミリー達、初めての全員集合、初めての共闘！！！

This is the first time they've [run to Takara's aid and] fought as a family when Takara was in a pinch!!! 台本を読ませてもらった時は、遂にきたか…！くらいの興奮だったんですが、 現場でこのシーンを録った時、こーすけの「はぁあああああ！！」って勇ましい声が聞こえてきた瞬間、鳥肌がブワァーって！体がカァーッて！熱くなったことを強く覚えています。

When reading the script, I was exhilarated to the point of going, "Finally, they came!" and now that this scene is recorded, I strongly remember the moment Kohsuke [Tanabe] valiantly can be heard going, "Haaaaaaaaaaa!!" I got goosebumps from the passion. 蘭丸とうるうの声も頼もしくて、樹果のたからぁ～！って呼び声に癒されて。

Trustworthy Ranmaru and Uruu, and Juka healing Takara by calling out his name. こんなに頼もしい仲間達が揃って、負けるわけがないですよ！！！！

With trustworthy friends like these, you won't lose!!!! この後の飛び上がるシーンも、月を殴りつけるシーンも、高まったボルテージを思いっきりぶつけさせて頂きました！

After this is the flying scene, the moon-breaking scene and I was able to use my heightened [emotions] to the fullest! [T/N: Hori calls his heightened emotions "voltage".] そしてGO TO HEAVEN!!!!!

Then, GO TO HEAVEN!!!!! 「またすっからかんかよぉ～！」なんて言いながら、トドメを刺された時の勢いで手持ちをオールインしてしまう妻原さん。

Tsumahara, for some reason, said, "I'm broke again?!" as he's finished off while playing everything he has with an all-in due to his leftover momentum. [T/N: the all-in in poker] ティナさんの「寶さん、あなたと結ばれたかった…」

Tina: "Takara...I wish we could've been together." 依頼人からこんなに純粋に好意を向けられるなんて…寶さんも罪な人ね。

The client has this kind of pure affection [for him]...Takara's also a wrongdoer, isn't he? ですがそれは叶わない、ティナさんもわかっているからこその過去形なのでしょうか…。

However, that can't be granted, since Tina understanding him is now past tense, isn't it...? こんなにも切ないワンシーンなのに、もう1人の堀が「あなたと結バレッタ裕…」って囁いてきてもうダメです（現在朝4時）

In this one heartrending scene, too, another Hori whispers to me, "You and Yutaka Balletta ..." but it's already no good (currently 4 in the morning)

全てが片付き、夭聖体のみんなが寶さんに声をかけてきます。

Everything's wrapped up so everyone calls out to Takara. なんだよお前ら、ちくしょー、まじで、お前ら…(′つω；｀)

What the hell, everyone, damn, really, you guys... (′つω；｀) しかもうるうくん、「僕たちは、ファミリーなのだから」それってさ、焔くんのことも、みんなのことも引っくるめて″ファミリー″なんだよね…？

Yet, Uruu goes, "We're family, in case you've forgotten." That means Homura and everyone are 'family', huh...? 万感の思いを込めて「サンキュ」と一言だけ返す寶さん。

Takara returns that with a single word full of emotions: "Thank you." 寶さん、あなたの欲しかったものって、きっと…

Takara, what you really want is certainly... そして後方家族面の蘭丸、その視線の先には様子を見ていたチルカが…。

Then, from behind Ranmaru, Chilka, who was watching him out of the corner of his eye... かつて愛していると言っていた蘭丸に対して、「Go to Hell!!地獄に落としてやる！」と言い残してその場を去ります。

As opposed to [when] he said he loved Ranmaru in the past, he leaves as he [yells], "Go to hell!!" …何故和訳してくれたんだ…。そこに不穏な空気が残ります。

Why did this Japanese translation come up? This left a disquieting atmosphere. [T/N: Hori translates "Go to hell!" (ENG) as "Fall into hell!" (JPN).] 豊穣さんの「いいファミリーになりましたな」

Houjou: "They've become a fine family indeed." この一言、嬉しかったなぁ。

I was happy with this one brief comment.

第一話の時、「君たちは今からファミリーだ」 なんて言われて戸惑っていた5人ですが、今では声を大にしてファミリー蘭丸って叫べます。

In episode 1, he says, "From now on, you are family," leaving the 5 of them bewildered, but now they can yell about how they're "family Ranmaru". いや、ファミリー蘭丸ではないけどね！？山本さんのプリティミス（伏線）だけどね！？笑

No, not "family Ranmaru"?! Is this a pretty mistake from Yamamoto (foreshadowing)?! (LOL) [T/N: This is referring to Bakkun's VA Kazutomi Yamamoto. Also, yes, it does say "pretty mistake", but it's likely to be "printing mistake".] そんな中改めて十訓を厳守させよと戒める女王。

In that [part], the Queen once again demands rigid adherence of the 10 Laws. あのような過ちとは…過去の因縁はまだ根が深そうです。

A mistake like that... it seems that past fates are still deep-rooted. そしてここからが怒涛の展開ですよ皆さん。

Then, everyone, the surge in developments [happens] from here. なんとあのシルク・ドゥ・マーズから合格通知が届いたティナさん！

Tina's somehow received a notification of acceptance into Cirque de Mars! 相当頑張ってきた努力が遂に実って、ニューヨークから熱いラブコールをかけられています。

The hard work she put in has finally pulled off and she's receiving passionate calls from New York. 喜んでいたのも束の間、そこに現れたのはなんと妻原さん！！？

It was a short moment that she could be happy, and then, who would arrive but Tsumahara?!! あんたって人は、懲りずにまだティナさんに…と持ったらなんと勝ちすぎちまったから命を狙われている！？

He's still trying to teach Tina a lesson, but...he won too much and they're gonna kill him?!

それもしかして、GO TO HEAVENされた時のオールインで…！？

On top of that, what about the all-in from the GO TO HEAVEN...?! すっからかんかよォー！！じゃなかったのかよォー！！

He's not broke anymore?!! 費用も全て持つから連れて行ってくれ、なんて、うーん、ティナさんとしては助かるけど…。

He'll come along, pay for everything and, yeah, sorta help Tina out...? まぁ、イケメンだからいっか……よくないわい！！！！

Well, he's handsome...but no!!!! [T/N: reference to ep. 5] 改心して今度こそ家族になるのか、それともニューヨークでまた悶着を起こすのかはわかりませんが、なんにせよティナさんとお子さんの先行きが明るくて良かったです。

I don't know if the family has reformed properly or if they're going to New York to quarrel again, but Tina and her child's future is bright. その様子を微笑ましく見ていた寶さんの元に、一本の電話が。

After seeing the smiling child's face, he receives a call. シリウスの事を伝えていた弁護士さんから、大変なことがわかったぞ、と。

The lawyer uncovered some [information] about Sirius and it's something unbelievable. 女王の過去や！と言いながら見せた一枚の写真には…、 あ、あ、あ、あ、あアイドルユニットぉ！！？

"...the Queen's past!" he says as we're shown a photo of an...i-i-i-i-i-idol unit?!! かつて一大ブームを巻き起こした、ウィンタートライアングル。

Winter Tri-angels, who created a sensational big boom in the past. シリウス！？ベテルギウス！！？プロキオン…？

Sirius?! Betelgeuse?!! Procyon...? シリウスとベテルギウスは恐らく…でも姿が…！？

Sirius and Betelgeuse are probably...but that form is...?! そして女王の過去というのは、この写真とどう関係してくるのでしょうか…。

Also, what does the Queen's past have to do with this picture...? 女王の過去や、チルカと蘭丸の確執、夭聖界のことや、寶さんの言っていたもう一山、更にここに来てまた新しい謎が…！！！

The Queen's past, Chilka and Ranmaru's antagonism, the fairy world, all the stuff Takara said - on top of that, another mystery...!!! 本編もいよいよクライマックスに向けて、盛り上がりが止まるところを知りません。

At last, we're approaching the climax of the main story and I don't know if [the tension] will stop rising.

いよいよあと二話ですが、最後までみんなで大騒ぎしていきましょう！

Finally, there's two episodes to go, so let's get really excited until the end! Fairy蘭丸～あなたの心お助けします～ 次回『憎悪』もお見逃しなく！！というわけで、禁忌其の拾『快楽』堀の感想ここまでとなります。

Don't miss the next episode of Fairy Ranmaru ~We Will Help Your Heart~, "Hatred"!! That's it for my impressions on Taboo No. 10, "Hedonism". ここまで長い文章に付き合って頂き、ありがとうございました！！

Thanks for keeping me company [as I write] these long sentences!! 余談なんですが、大体メインキャストは一緒に録るんですが、この回の収録は実は堀が1人ブースに籠って先に録られた皆様の声を聴きながら台詞を当てておりました。

As a side note, usually the main cast would record together, but this time, I was alone in the booth, listening to the voices of those who recorded before as I added my lines. 収録が終わってからブースのドアを開けて、 誰もいないだろうなぁ、と思ってフッと休憩スペースを見たら、 なんと5 to HEAVENのみんなが残ってくれてて、映像が流れるディスプレイをずっと見守ってくれてて、 こっちを向いて堀さんお疲れ！とか、メッチャ汗だくじゃん！とか笑いながら言ってくれて。

When I finished recording and opened the booth, I looked at the rest area, thinking no one was there. Surprisingly, everyone from 5 to HEAVEN was there, watching over a video display. They turned to me and said things like, "Good work, Hori-san!" and "You're so sweaty!" so I laughed while I talked. その瞬間、堀の頭の中に寶さんのサンキュ。のシーンがリフレインして、 なんかしどろもどろになるくらい嬉しかったです。きっとあの瞬間は忘れられないです。

In that moment, the scene where Takara says, "Thank you," played again in my head and although I was [in a state of] confusion, I was happy. I will surely not forget that moment. はい、余談終わり！笑

Yes, I'm done with my side note! (LOL) 話が進むにつれて、SNSで#F蘭丸であげてくださってる実況や感想、ファンアートや、写真など、盛り上がっているのを実感しております。

To continue the conversation, use #F蘭丸 on your real-time impressions, fanart, photos etc., which will give a real feeling to your excitement. そしてそれを見ている時、堀はスマホを握りしめるくらい嬉しくなります。

Also, when I see those, I become so happy, I grasp my phone tightly. いつもF蘭を応援して下さり本当にありがとうございます。皆さんの声が僕らの力になります！

As always, really, thank you for supporting F-Ran. Everyone's voices will be my strength! 引き続きFairy蘭丸を応援の程、何卒よろしくお願いいたします！！！

Please kindly take care of me as you continue to support Fairy Ranmaru!!! このブログ書くの頑張ったからな！
