Another: The Other - Abridged One-Shot

Another: The Other - Abridged One-Shot

Project Overview

[THIS PROJECT MAY CONTAIN COARSE LANGUAGE AND JOKES OF OFFENSIVE AND SEXUAL NATURE IN BAD TASTE. IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST SAYING CONTROVERSIAL, RUDE, INSENSITIVE OR NASTY THINGS, PLEASE BE WARY OF IT]

This project is in the same category as what many would call "abridged" anime. However it is more of a parody on the anime, as I have changed the story a bit from the original. I will explain a bit later.
The anime I will be making a parody of is Another. Except it is only the OVA episode (known as episode 0), which is called "The Other".
I recommend you watch the episode if you want to voice this project (you don't have to, but it could give you a better idea of what is going on.) as well as the entire series, which is just 12 episodes long. Watch that first, then episode 0.

[SPOILERS AHEAD]
The Episode is basically the backstory of the mysterious Mei Misaki. She has a twin sister, but they were separated at birth. Mei was raised by a family whose name was Misaki, and her sister whose first name is Misaki was raised by a family whose name was Fujioka. As you can guess, it raises some confusion in the series, since they both share the name "Misaki", even though one has it as their first name, and THE OTHER has it as their last name. (see what I did there?)

In this episode Mei and Misaki meet up, go to around town for a bit, and then they go home. They have their shower scene bonding, they wrestle in the bed, you know, all that good sisterly love. As they go to sleep, Mei takes her eye patch off, which contains the eye that sees the colour of death. As she looks at her sister lying next to her, she has the colour of death on her, which means she is going to die soon. This of course freaks Mei out, but she doesn't say anything to Misaki.
The next day they go to a fairground. Mei does her best to keep Misaki away from men who could potentially be stabbers, and tries to protect her sister from harm's way. While on a Ferris Wheel, Misaki accidentally falls out the door of the cabin, but Mei grabs her hand and holds onto her sister until the Ferris Wheel reaches the ground.
As they apart from eachother in the evening, Misaki suddenly collapses onto the ground. We find out that she has had Leukemia for a while, and that it isn't looking good for her. Misaki dies, and we see Mei visiting her recently deceased sister in the section of the hospital where dead patients are stored, which we also see in Episode 1 of Another, but from the view of the Main character in the rest of the series.

Now my version is a bit different. First of all, Mei is pessimistic rather than just being quiet. Misaki still has the same kind of joking and silly personality as the original.

Second of all, the story plays out differently. The whole story is happening within a single day. Mei never sees that Misaki has the colour of death (even if her eyepatch IS taken off in a scene).  They meet up, go to the fairground, and then Misaki dies in the hospital after the ordeal.

Third of all, Mei has the ability to set things on fire (and make things explode?).

Fourth of all, she kills the main character of the Another series in the end of the parody.

And this is why I am not technically going to call it an "abridged version" of the original OVA.
I hope you don't have any problem with bad words :) I won't say any here, as I'm not sure if CCC allows it.

[This character uses coarse language]
Mei is pessimistic and quick to anger and generally doesn’t care much for the world around her. In contrast, her sister, Misaki, admires life and everything it brings. The only person she cares about is her sister, but even when talking to her, she is cold and even threatening at times. She is reluctant to admit her love for her. Mei has the ability to set things on fire, and her voice is very much that of a heavy smoker (not really, but that’s what I was going for) for the most of the parody because of it. However, she is not aware that her ability is the cause of her voice being the way it is.
Mei's normal voice can be heard after Misaki dies, and she stops using her fire powers. So it is around the end of the parody. During most of the parody, I will be voicing her myself.
Her normal voice (This is the voice you'll be doing.) is that of a regular high school girl. When angry, she sounds threatening and scary, and loses her cool. So don't hold back when she's angry or even just annoyed.

  • Annoyed
    "Who the hell calls in the middle of the night?”

  • Furious
    “Do you have any idea how insensitive you’re being right now?! I swear if I was allowed to I’d burn your bloody house down, you absolute corny runt!"

  • Nervous
    “I’m... uhh… A family member of mine died recently, so, I thought I’d go mourn them..”

Omnipotent Bird

[This character DOES NOT use coarse language]
This bird appears in scene 7. As the terrible script writer I am, scene 7 is where Mei and Misaki go full on Deadpool, and break the 4th wall. The omnipotent bird is, as the name suggests, omnipotent. It watches over Mei and Misaki, as they are the main characters of the story. When Mei breaks the 4th wall, the bird comes flying in and erases their memories before everything gets out of hand. Its voice is that of an adult woman. A mother’s voice. Godly. Her voice will have an added echo, as it is supposed to be a divine being.

  • Calm
    “Mei, I’m gonna need you to stop breaking the 4th wall. You’re ruining the plot.”

  • Calm
    “I don’t have time for this. I’m going to erase your memories of this event.”

  • Calm
    “Bippity boppity boo!”
    (If you've seen Cinderella, you know how this is supposed to be said. But if you haven't feel free to try anyway ;D)

[SIDE PROJECT] Overly Happy Girl
open
Unpaid

This character is Happy Go Lucky. It's a 13 second skit (using anime) and I'll be voicing one other character that this character will be talking to.
The skit is about a product called AYDS, which is a cake supposed to help you lose weight, but the name is pronounced the exact same way as the disease AIDS.
The joke is elevated by the fact that both are smiling happily and being completely carefree, while making a pun, and then continue to be smiling happily as they say their lines.

Because this video is very short, I will be putting the full script on here, and my lines are (like this). If you get chosen, your work is probably done, unless I think you did something wrong.
Remember, she is VERY HAPPY.

  • Overly Happy

    (Hey, what's that in your pocket?)
    "iiiiiiiit's AAAAYDS!!"
    (Oh wow! Do you want to share your AYDS with meeeeee? :D)
    "Haha, no, go fuck yourself! ;D"
    (*moans*)
