Announcing our plans for the Fall 2010 anime season, in succinct bullet-point form.
- Amagami SS continues into fall season, being a 24(+2) episode show.
- First new show is To Aru Majutsu no Index II, and it will be a joint with gg Fansubs. Should we pick up the project, the episodes will most likely be released within 24 hours of airtime, but no faster.
- Second new show is Yosuga no Sora, and it will be a joint with Ryuumaru Fansubs.
There were a few other shows we wanted to do, but ultimately decided against:
- Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai: this show was actually our No. 1 choice for fall season, but it will be subbed by our buddies over at Mazui.
- The World God Only Knows: licensed by Crunchyroll.
- Fortune Arterial: also licensed by Crunchyroll.
- Bakuman: will be subbed by gg.
And… I guess this is the time and place to announce it now. We will be subbing the Unlimited Blade Works movie, and it will be a solo project. We had plans to do it before it was even in the theaters in Japan, and all the logistics for the project have been finalized. Basically, we’re ready for it.
Please stay with us, and let’s look forward to what will be a fantastic season of anime!
Yeah, bitches.
Great.
Couldn’t ask for more.
can’t wait for UBW
2 guaranteed shows that I had planned on watching and you are picking up both. This is great!
I find myself excited and aroused from reading this update. :3
Fucking CrunchyRoll, what a sold out piece of shit they’ve become.
Anyways, good luck guys, can’t wait.
Fuck year. 🙂
FUCK CrunchyRoll.
Streaming anime is so much fail that I can’t even describe it. Why watch shitty quality stream, with ads no less, when I have 110MB internet? Also “durr this video is not available in your region” – in b4 move to a real country
Dammit. I love you guys so much but I hope someone else picks the ‘licensed’ shows up :/
Good luck on that guys!
And i quote what ilovefetacheeseandutw said!
i’m not going anywhere ^^ also from this side i’ll contineu uploading the b gata BD’s when its out.. vol2 is done waiting for vol 3 now
Is UBW DVD/blue-ray already out ? Or are you waiting on it ?
Thanks for your works you do a great job, please continue like this.
@ archfriend, ubw release date is 30 september, so 7 more days 🙂
HNNNGGGHHHH!!!
Can’t wait.
Hopefully, you will stick with Index II and bloody hope one group will do The World God Only Knows
I didn’t read this post, but I love you guys anyways. Probably.
UBW movie being a solo project means that Takajun won’t work on it?
Anyone knows who’s subbing “MM!” ? Need something akin to SYD to fill my retardation void.
Keep up the good work guys. I’m especially looking forward to UBW
WOW FUCK YER NICE PICK OF SHOWS To Aru Majutsu no Index II IS EPIC THANKS FOR THE EPIC SHOWS AND KEEP UP THE EPIC WORK FUCK YER
how i like you guys deciding who is doing which project, and doing which project together
do you guys have meeting or???
well ty for doing Index, and the new show look good
Well.. I guess only horrible will sub TWGOK then..
You guys are doing Yosuga no Sora, too? Now I have to decide between you guys and pwq.
Aww man.
It can’t be helped.
I’m so looking forward to “Yosuga no Sora” that you’re going to do. Don’t drop it. 😀
Thanks so so much, UTW. ^_^
Easy choice.
Thank fucking christ you’re doing Index.
*impregnates the whole lot of you from across the internet*
To Aru Majutsu no Index II,
Too Much want
really hope that Crunchyroll doesnt fucking license any more nice animes… seriously fuck the “not available in your region” thing
Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai T_T
can’t wait for UBW and Index s2 with UTW sub… hahahha….
this is why i love utw
To be honest, I can’t really tell the difference between direct transport stream encodes vs generic TV raws I see. BUT, I can always see the shitty quality of crunchyroll’s subs by the spelling errors, shitty grammar and over localization. Just like Occult Gakuin, the world god only knows is going to be excellent, and it’s a real shame UTW won’t be subbing it.
Frankly, it’d be weird if you guys didn’t sub UBW, considering your name… 😛
I really hope you guys’ll do Index II and Yosuga no Sora
too bad crunchykids licenses a lot dun give up on Index II please LOL
don’t worry guys…even chruncyf*ck can’t stop fansub group to subs…. 😀
i remember some of my friend in another group still want to sub TWGOK
@Jumendez…MM! will be subbed by our fellow friend, Ryuumaru (fansub wiki told me….so don’t blame me if i’m wrong)
@UTW….just focus on ur decided show, guys….still u gotta a lot of work to do….considering there’s still 3 more girls in Amagami….long running Index II, and Yosuga no Sora… 😀 oh UBW, too….
but WAIT!!!!
“Amagami SS continues into fall season, being a 24(+2) episode show.”
i wonder what will happen with “+2” episode in Amagami 😀 Miya, maybe? XD
INDEX II yesssssssssssssssss<333333333333333*vomits from too many 3's*
I know I’m slowpoking big time here, but how does Crunchyroll licensing an anime stop you guys from being able to sub it?
@martinez The extra 2 episodes of Amagami are about the main character’s stalker. No love for Miya ;_;
@Anonymous…..;_;
but i thought that they will make Special OVA for her…..
ohhh dear ;_;
i meant Risa will have her own OVA…separated from the TV Series ;_;
so this is what they meant ;_;
poor Miya ;_;
I have plans to try/watch 11 new shows this coming season (along with continuing with Amagami SS), and it’s comforting to know you guys are planning on picking up two on my list!
Also, I’m hopeful that the Crunchyroll situation won’t stop other fansub groups from doing some of the shows they want (most of the Crunchyroll stuff is garbage compared to what a decent fan group can put out).
Index? Yosuga no Sora? UBW? You guys are awesome and you should feel awesome!
i was hoping youd pick up bakuman oh well XD
@anonymous
the reason it stops some fansub groups (not sure if it’s the case with UTW) is that the reason for fansubbing is to give a way for people to watch anime. Once an anime is licensed, the general “rule” is to stop subbing/distributing that show, in order to support the company producing it. With crunchyroll it becomes a gray area however, as many die-hard fansub fans refuse to use CR as a source for various reasons (personally it’s a quality issue), and so the amount of revenue actually reaching the creators of a particular show are unknown.
Could go into more detail but i’ve already wall of text crit you enough. carry on.
Awesome! I’ve been looking forward to both shows! Great choices!
awesome shit man. Can’t wait for the fix of Biribiri and Index.
Keep up the awesome work on Amagami. <3
you have to sub Unlimited Blade Works movie with your group name. lol
What’s the status of the Urusei Yatsura DTV? Is that still in the pipeline?
Great choices, although I was hoping you guys would pick up Star Driver (not sure if gg is really going to sub it).
INDEX!!!
Rumor has it that Yosuga no Sora will almost definitely be licensed by Crunchyroll.
good news for index xD
gg!? Sure hope you are the guys doing the TLing and all.
@DragoZERO: Oh? What’s wrong with our/gg’s translators? Do you have a list of errors to report from HotD?
“Unlimited Blade Works movie” looking forward to it thanks UTW 🙂
Grat choices i really looking forward to watch Yosuga no sora….
fuck crunchyroll with their shitty quality…
@miasmacloud: nothing is wrong with gg’s translation, but I’m not really a fan of gg’s editing. Who is going to be the editor for Index? UTW or GG?
Someone who is in both groups will be editing.
So what’s wrong with gg’s editing?
FCK FCK INDEX II YOU NEED TO DO THAT ONE!
miasmacloud: Well, GG pissed many ppl off with the way they translated/edited Kampfer.
@boingman
Kampfer wasn’t too bad at all, people just complain too much. The out there editing suited it because well, it was an out there show. The translation for it was good, the editing just made it funnier.
If there was one thing GG has done that I could say wholeheartedly was bad, that would be Baka Test. But that’s not really their fault (other than leaving Jaka in charge!), that’s just Jaka being the failure Jaka is.
I’ve been speaking english my whole life, and personally I don’t mind liberal editing where it fits, because seriously a lot of jokes and such don’t translate very well. What GG’s editing does is make you laugh, even if the joke is pretty lame. That’s cool by me.
So you guys are doing Index S2 even though it’s licensed by Funimation?
@Anon: I imagine it’s getting leeway because Funimation will simulcast it in crappy 360p, as opposed to Cunchyroll which releases in 720p. Also, Index II is the one of, if not the most, anticipated shows of the fall so that helps as well.
@miasmacloud: i didn’t say there is something wrong with the editing, i merely stated i don’t like it.
@Soukyuu: Your comment makes no sense. Obviously there’s a REASON why you don’t like it, i.e. there must be something wrong with it. You can’t just not like it because it’s gg, otherwise you’re being a fucktard.
Sure it does. Just because gg doesn’t use honorifics and are going with a more liberal phrasing of what the characters are saying doesn’t mean they’re doing something “wrong”. It’s a matter of preference. I want my honorifics and more literal translations. UTW keeps honorifics and even though they don’t do literal translations, I like their way more than gg’s. Hopefully that clears this up.
still no new urusei yatsura OAV 🙁
@Roos: One day we’ll find a translator to take it on~~
Need moar biribiri !
As long as you guys provide the translation, editing. its all good. gg’s translation is way too fucking Americanized.
All right!
[spoiler]Twincest FTW![/spoiler]
Are there any plans for UTW-THORA release of the UBW, like with the second Eva movie?
No UBW is a solo project of ours.
Oh, I see. Just thought that considering how popular F/SN is, they’re probably going to release their encode anyway, so why not push 1080p on them? 🙂
Is it just me, or have the projects the same time to come out?
any chance of you guys possibly subbing
Shinrei Tantei Yakumo if you end up dropping one of the other shows due to licencing issues or something?
