The author has been trying to obtain this sound effect for their phone. After watching three seasons and several OVAs of another series, the message notification tone from Meru’s character had become tiresome. The author sought a fresh alternative.
The search for a suitable clip of Mayushii’s signature fanfare began around the fourth or fifth week of the Crunchyroll simulcast. As of the ninth week, on May 31st, the author reflects on the challenges of capturing a clean audio sample. The initial weeks offered better opportunities, with Mayuri delivering the line clearly and with minimal background interference. However, subsequent episodes often incorporated the sound effect into Mayuri’s routine, frequently while she was engaged in other activities like walking, running, or speaking simultaneously with someone else. Alternatively, ambient noise, described as a “thick, urban malaise,” often obscured the sound. In one instance, a passing car was audible during the event.
Episode 8 even presented a “double” instance of the sound, which the author found particularly charming. This suggests a deliberate effort by the creators to make Mayuri’s signature line memorable. The author wonders if another character might adopt this catchphrase before the anime concludes, or if the “chuunibyou” ailment might be cured, leaving these questions for the audience to ponder.
The author confirms they have already obtained a clip of Mayuri uttering the sound effect resembling “Dududuruu.” However, the question of whether they will acquire a clip of Mayuri saying “tuu-tu-ruu” in a satisfactory manner remains to be seen.
