Summer 2012 Plans

We are confirmed for the following:

  • Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!
  • Sword Art Online (this will be a joint with GotWoot Fansubs; you can help decide our group name in the poll to the right!)

Accel World continues into the Summer 2012 anime season.
I wanted to do Muv-luv Alternative: Total Eclipse as I’m a huge fan of âge stuff, but with CR simulcasting it and staff unavailability, picking up this show will probably be more trouble than it’s worth.
Certain staff members *cough cough* will make good use of this breather to work through their gigantic backlogs, I’m sure…
EDIT: I’ve resetted the poll to include the “GutWorks” option, courtesy of Xythar. Please vote again!
EDIT (30/6/2012): It appears Crunchyroll has licensed SAO as well. Here’s what we’ll do:

  1. If it’s a latecast (i.e. 12 or more hours after it airs in Japan) and/or their translation is shit, we’ll push ahead with our original translation.
  2. If it’s an on-the-dot/few-hours-late simulcast and the translation is good, then we’ll either edit CR’s scripts or drop the project. Those of us who have read or are reading the LNs are really enjoying the story so far though, so it seems likely we’ll go ahead and edit CR’s scripts.

  1. can’t say I’m not disappointed with the fact that you guys’ won’t be doing Muv Luv, but I do understand where you are coming from. ^.^
    Good luck with Sword Art Online.

  2. I would suggest just make it simply: “UTW+GotWoot”.
    It’s easy to understand and easy for people to search for UTW’s sub in the future.
    The 3 names on the voting list may be confusing at first if the person does not know it is UTW related.

  3. >Certain staff members *cough cough* will make good use of this breather to work through their gigantic backlogs, I’m sure…
    AYE YO, KUSION. HE TALKIN’ TO YOU, MANG

  4. >>Certain staff members *cough cough* will make good use of this breather to work through their gigantic backlogs, I’m sure…
    EY KUSION, WHERE’S MY Y@KUZ@M@S

  5. Muv luv will probably be a major letdown anyway.. as will Sword Art I’m afraid..
    Imouto show might make for some good laughs!

  6. I’m really glad to hear you are going to sub Sword Art Online. And thanks so much for continuing to share your hard work with all of us.

  7. Hah, I still need to have a look what’s airing this Summer season, haven’t had the time to check it out. By the way- Favorite is Unlimited translation Woots.

  8. I predicted that UTW will do SAO as you do for Accel World for the upcumming works. But I can’t believe it that you guys will sub Kono naka ni hitori, imouto ga iru instead Muv-Luv. Well, the story of kono naka is quite good for the incest theme, though.
    I’ll expect your good work then.
    For the join name group, I think it’s unnecessary to do. Just UTW & GotWoot is good i think

  9. Thanks for picking up SAO.
    And whoever your translator is, I highly recommend he/she goes through the character material by the author first.

  10. Any chance that you will also do the subs for the dual audio Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works?

  11. SAO is the most oversubbed show in a while. Also, UTW-GotWoot so that I don’t have to edit my RSS downloader.
    ­­
    How about doing the Muv-luv BDs like you’re doing with Nisemono?

  12. You guys are doing SAO?
    …UTW, my fav subgroup is subbing SAO, my favorite light novel series?

    ……
    …………………….YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

  13. @michi
    It hasn’t been dropped, it’s just slow doing them because everybody is lazy/don’t have time or something.

  14. I’d vote for UTW-GotWoot, but UTWoots is close enough. Of course, you guys pretty much have to do SAO after starting Accel World. 😀

  15. A joint with GotWoot? Sounds good, since that probably means that there won’t be any changes for the way certain things are translated.

  16. @ dc1293
    Just use HorribleSubs. At least you’ll be safe from Commie’s trolling and shit encodes.

  17. GotTranWork
    The graphic would be a cute schoolgirl with a suspicious bulge in her skirt.

  18. My vote goes to UTWoots.
    You probably already know this, but I wanted to point out that there are already raws of the special episode of Idolm@ster. So, are you going to release it separately first, along with the batch when that is completed, or are you going to wait until the Blu Ray is out?
    I also wanted to ask if you have considered subbing and releasing the alternate previews for each episode, which vary from the shorter ones at the end of each episode?

  19. @Durandal
    Yeah we’ve had a recording of the tv broadcast of ep26 since last Sunday, and it’s being worked on, albeit slowly since there is a lot of typesetting required. And it’ll be released when it’s done, that’s all I know.
    And no we probably won’t sub the alternate previews.

  20. GotUTW.
    I’m sad to hear you won’t be doing MLA… CR subs can be of very varying quality…

  21. Banzai for SAO from UTW!!! Now only hope the animation studio will make this anime as epic as its novel….

  22. I’m really happy to see UTW work on SAO. I think I’ve been following at least one of your shows every season since Amagami SS.
    I’m really hoping CR doesn’t screw up Total Eclipse.

  23. No Muv-Luv?! Noooooo–!
    But thanks for Sword Art Online. It’s one of the few I’m looking forward to this summer.

  24. I’m fine with whatever you guys end up using, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the poll reset was a conspiracy to split the GUTS supporters. I’m onto your devious schemes!

  25. I wanted to do Muv-luv Alternative: Total Eclipse as I’m a huge fan of âge stuff, but with CR simulcasting it and staff unavailability, picking up this show will probably be more trouble than it’s worth.
    Fuck.

  26. please please translate muv luv TE! We all know CR subs aren’t as good as yours it would be really awesome if you guys pick it up

  27. GotUTW, UTWoots, and GutWorks sounds too one-sided for me, so I’ll just go with GUTS. Anyway, SWORD ART ONLINE FTW 😀

  28. Thank you so much for doing Sword Art Online, its my most anticipated series and I trust you guys more than any other group

  29. @RIPnEncode Why are you asking that here? What would make you think UTW even considered doing Mirai Nikki BDs? Unless you’re asking if Gotwoot plans on doing them, in which case you’re doing a few things wrong. First off, by not asking Gotwoot on their site, you’re not really asking Gotwoot at all. And second, they’ve already confirmed that they aren’t. Multiple groups are using their subs for BD releases of the show, so they see no need to do it themselves. If you’re looking for a group that is doing so, look towards Coalgirls or Broken (once Broken actually gets around to releasing).

  30. HOLY FUCKING BALLZ MUV-LUV ALTERNATIVE IS GOING TO BE ANIMATED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
    I better prepare myself. That game really fucked me up in more than just one way. *shivers*
    I hope my body(mind) can take it.

  31. @narshe_delvar
    It’s Muv Luv Alternative : Total Eclipse adaptation, not Muv Luv Alternative. Total Eclipse is a kind of spin-off, takes place in Alaska some years before things in MLA.
    also,
    > Imouto Ga Iru
    okay
    > SAO
    Fuck yeah!
    > No Muv-Luv TE
    I’m a sadpanda

  32. @HeavenlyArmed Thank you for answer, I was unaware that Blu-Ray was existing and subbed by any group.

  33. UGotWorks should be in the poll. However, for searching purposes, a simple UTW-GotWoot would probably be the best choice.

  34. sao trailer didnt seem even as good as accel :/, hope i`m mistaken.
    and nice, i like gotwoot too. combined with utw it should be amazing.

  35. Sadly, nothing of interest y’all are doing this season, but I WILL!! see you again for Fate/Zero BD Box 2.
    Also, you should try UGW, for a joint name suggestion.

  36. Please do Sword Art Online, and translate it like what you did with Dusk Maiden Of Amnesia, we’re begging you to.

  37. Please do Sword Art Online even though Crunchy is giving us subs, I trust you guys way more than them.

  38. So what you’re saying is that you’re still going pick it up even if CR’s release is perfect? Please explain how that makes any sense at all.

  39. @random1 CR’s never perfect, so don’t worry about that. Then again, neither are fansubbers. If UTW’s editing CR’s script they’ll just improve the grammar/nuance/flow/in-universe jargon of the lines, or re-TL it if it’s really off.

  40. I like fansub groups just because the styling and such is far better than CR / Horriblesubs rips.
    It obviously varies among shows, as some may be more necessary to have fancy subtitles than others.

  41. Don`t drop it, please! No matter the time or quality of crunchyroll version, I’m sure yours will be much better!

  42. Can’t help but agree with the rest of the people here- please don’t drop SAO! I’d choose your releases over CR anytime.

  43. EDIT (30/6/2012) :
    Don’t drop it please. Judging from Fate/Zero, yours has the best quality and most favorable. Check out at myanimelist.net

  44. Hmm if you do drop, that leaves commie’s or CR rips…
    Commie translations are mildly bad and they’re late as always….
    CRrips quality why so bad?
    tough choice….
    dont drop o/ and people don’t have to make a tough choice
    please? lol

  45. So..
    This is great and all but…
    UTW always pick up a shitty show every season.
    Where is this season’s shitty show?

  46. Crunchyroll is decent and all and probably would have signed up with them to watch my fix but in my region, all I get to see are the shitty shows cause of all these ‘restrictions’. So long story short, please don’t drop SAO.

  47. Crunchyroll and decent translation is the same as snow falling down in hell. It will never happen.

  48. about MLA, how about u sub it another season when u guys dont have to much work. I’m sure many people who DL anime is collecting them rather than just watch it online and prefer the best quality they can get

  49. Why would you drop this? CR sub is okay but I always prefer UTW sub more. You guys are awesome! PLEASE DON’T DROP IT.

  50. please for any sake, don’t drop the project of SAO.
    Or else we can only curse for CR’s sub being shitty than nothing more.

  51. 12 hours is too late…?
    I don’t understand why sub groups will avoid simulcasted stuff in principle, but when the stream comes a little later than RIGHT NOW, all bets are off. What’s the point?

  52. So, does UTW(oots) finally sub SAO ?
    It’s already this late and still no “official announcement” regarding this xD
    As for myself, I’m still waiting for UTW(oots) release 🙂
