THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Only about 2 minutes and 5 seconds. I lol'd @ this:


I like how they did the background with the ocean waves though. Thought that was kinda neat.

Mod Edit: Title changed to match the right episode.

Mod Edit: Thread moved from the Barakamon: Mijikamon sub-board.

Translation:


Text: Mijikai Barakamon (stamp at the top right reads, "Adlib Theater")
Handa: Mijikamon
Handa: Oh, hello. I'm Ha- Ow! Heavy! My head is heavy! What the heck is this!?
Text Box: Chibi character - A character that is at two to three heads in height. By making the character's head big, it appears childish and cute.
Handa: Chibi characters? Chibi chara- Wait, didn't that go away way too fast!?
Handa: Grr... All right! What is this? It's so hard to keep my balance!! ...But how does the Handa chibi character look? ...Well, I guess this could pass... A Handa chibi character. Yeah, I could dig this.
Handa: Kinda like the ones that would be cute if you made them into keychains? Oh, I see. They're trying to sell them... Um, who are you?
Woman: That's just cold, sensei.
Handa: What...!? Who are you? I really don't know, uh...
Woman: It's expected that you don't know me. After all, I'm just a normal middle-aged lady on the island.
Handa: Wait... What!? Aren't there plenty of other characters we can turn into chibis...? Wait, do you appear in episode one?
Woman: Not only do I not appear in episode one, but I only appear in episode three for like, only a second, and I barely have any lines.
Handa: What!? Then why are you a chibi character!?
Woman: You sayin' that non-central characters that mean nothing at all don't have the right to be chibi characters or something??
Handa: Ahh, no no no, I would never say that!
Woman: The title Barakamon means "energetic one"!
Handa: I-I know that. What's up with that, all of a sudden...?
Woman: This bean sprout-like ordinary guy was born in Tokyo, trained in calligraphy, and his name is Senshū Handa.
Handa: Hey hey...
Woman: People call him "Hansei" for short (Hansei meaning "reflecting on one's wrongdoings").
Handa: No, they don't.
Woman: As you can tell from his name, he's lived a life of much wrongdoing and reflecting, and this lead to his exile.
Handa: No, it didn't.
Woman: And um... It's a story about him doing lots of things with a kid and other stuff.
Handa: That's way too rough an estimation!
Woman: It's becoming an anime in July, so please watch if you'd like!
Handa: OK, finally back on track.
Woman: One more thing... It's very interesting! (in Kyoto dialect)
Handa: Why Kyoto dialect!?!
Woman: I'm a maiko (a geisha in training)!
Handa: No way!
Woman: Oh, so you found me out.


Nice to know there will be more of these shorts with the BD release. So I assume they'll have separate entries since they come out much later. Reminds me a lot of Puchitto Gargantia.

Why is this thread titled "Episode 1" when it's really for Episode 0?

That was nuts (and quite clever)! Of course Chibi Hansei would fall over from the weight of his own head. Of course.

Chibi Random Auntie keychain? I would buy it.

Yeah, should have been titled "Episode 0" to avoid confusion.
