Ad Lib Anime Kenkyuusho

[Random32]

Anyone heard of this series? So basically Katou Emiri and Fukuhara Kaori (Kagami/Tsukasa from L☆S) record ad libbed lines then animation animates something to match.

Doesn't seem that anybody is subbing it. There aren't any untranslated material in torrent form either despite it Ep1 airing 5 days ago.

ANN Article About It

I was wondering about this, too. It sounded really interesting, but there aren't even any raws... :\

Yeah I wanna watch this - and preferably subbed by a really good group so that I can actually get the freaking ad lib jokes. But doesn't seem to be happening.

I have a low-resolution flv, although I don't feel like I'm missing that much by not having 720p. The animated part looks like a flash anime, although I guess sakuga was never the point anyways

It's about 20 minutes long, and the first 16 are them in the studio, and the last 4 are the animated part. Sakurai Takahiro (Suzaku from Geass) is their 3rd ad-libber.

Katou, Fukuhara, and Sakurai are good entertainers and fun to watch even when you can't understand the majority of what they're saying, although it would be much nicer if we had translations.

I'll see what I can do about that.

I'd do a brief summary but there's not much to say. It's not like there's any plot points or character developments to focus on, since most of the entertainment is in the moment. Though I suppose a brief explanation of the setup is possible.

Spoiler:

Emirin plays Raika (based on Raijin) while Kaorin is Fuuka (based on Fuujin). They go to a school for gods where they develop their godly powers, but they're the class dunces. Sakurai Takahiro is their teacher, Daikoku-ten.

That about sums up the set-up, and they straight ad-lib the first half. However, at the halfway point, they're each given a "muchaburi card" (what's a good translation... it's a comedy term for a sort of Who's Line is it Anyway twist where someone other than the actors decides on the punchline). Emirin's is along the lines of "suddenly starts acting like a biker gang leader" while Kaorin's "Demon's Eye" suddenly awakens. Meanwhile, Daikoku-ten-sensei discovers a teacup containing a mysterious fluid that grants the godly power of preventing your legs from going numb when sitting Japanese-style. But he's having trouble opening the lid.

Sorry for the bump and double post, but it's subbed. Check your favorite torrent sites, and feel free to complain about my translation.

Thanks. It was a really enjoyable little show.

I can't really speak japanese, so I really can't complain about anything, sorry ^^;

but thanks a lot for subbing this!!! It's a good change from my usual anime, it feels like years since I saw a real person (in TV off course, I met a lot in real life :P)
