Winter 2011 Plans


The new show we will be picking up for the upcoming Winter season is Fractale, an original anime series airing in the first noitaminA slot; it will replace Amagami SS in terms of our scheduling. The series is slated for 11 episodes and begins airing January 13th.
Toaru Majutsu no Index II continues into Winter season, being a 24 episode show.
Depending on what other groups end up doing, availability of staff, and scheduling, we may or may not pick up an additional show; however, we will abide to our usual stance of avoiding shows that are already subbed well and reasonably quickly by another group or organization.
Thanks for reading, and we hope to see many of you back here next season!

  1. Fractale should be nice,and more index is always good.
    heres to hoping somebody subs IS so i can have my harem fix for the cold winter.

  2. Damn, i thought you were going to do Gosick :\
    Do you know which fansub will pick these?
    And i will watch your Fractale for sure. 😉

  3. SHHHHT!
    You guys r f*cking awesome!!! Fractale! I’m gonna be crazy while waiting for it.
    Thank you for everything and Happy holidays~

  4. @Dutch Oven 11:50 am
    yeah IS sound cool idea. but then that sound like a ryuumaru thing with IS being shit load of TITTES

  5. Sweet this along with Kimi ni Todoke are the only ones that really interest me next season! glad your subbing it!
    And thats the thing about Kimi ni Todoke everyone will fight over it!

  6. honestly, i haven’t read Fractale manga although i have it in my notebook. somehow, i still can’t enjoy it.
    but oh well, iet’s see the first eps of it…looking forward to it 😉

  7. yeah.. fractale.. really looking forward for this..
    and about who wondering who will subs IS/gossick, static-subs plan to sub one of those animu…

  8. Lovely 😀
    I was a little interested in the anime once a friend mentioned it.
    And now that you guys are doing it I have to watch it.?

  9. Hooray! Fractale already was one of the few Winter 2011 shows I was going to watch for sure but now there’s no way I’ll let this pass.

  10. @dheophe
    Coalgirls is doing the Soul Eater BDs, since it has already gotten several fan translations and an official translation it would be kind of a waste for UTW to sub the whole thing.
    Looking forward to Fractile!

  11. Well if gg, Mazui, or Ryuumaru don’t pick up Yumekui Merry then I hope you guys sub it, it really looks like an awesome show.

  12. Well IS will be subbed by Ayako which will most likely subbed quickly – reasonable quality?
    well ryuu gonna sub what ryuu gonna sub – commanderA always out for titties (Is)
    Yumekui Merry might be subbed by Mazui
    else there is dragon crisis – fire throwing index sightet
    and what about Freezing? Tits and NanoTech Battles… did i mentioned battle school romance ?

  13. @CommanderB: Mazui usually sub light novel based anime, which would be IS this season. Although personally I hope they do Yumekui instead.

  14. Completely unrelated to the Winter season, but do you guys think you’ll be doing Ufotable’s Fate/Zero if it comes out in the near future?

  15. I would rather have a speedsub group get the ep out within 6-24 hours of airing than wait weeks for a “quality” group like SS, who will have virtually the same quality as the speedsubbers (if they’re a good group).

  16. @onzir
    YES.
    This was not on my to-watch list, but since sometimes the chartfag descriptions are deceiving, I’ll try it out.

  17. I don’t know what the fuck this show is all about, but Kana-chan as the female lead means I will probably sit through it like a giant faggot whether it’s good or not.

  18. Looking forward to the next season! keep up the awesome work!
    few quick questions, are you guys are working (Currently) on the last volume of AB? =D
    and To Aru batches and the 10v1?
    I’m extremely excited for your final release of AB!

  19. for some reason I can’t playback your Angel Beats encodes… using latest k-lite codec pack, it plays all your other encodes, what might be different?

  20. @Suzuku: Well I don’tplan on switching, been using k-lite since forever and it’s still being updated, so I’d rather send k-lite team a wink and have them fix whatever is weird.

  21. @RealGizmo
    you use the mega codec pack right?
    Update the player, depending on your OS (32 or 64bit) download the appropriate player.
    Most playback issues are relevant to the player being used. (only applies to CCCP vs K-lite mega) since all other packs lack omnipotency.
    Never stick to the player the pack gives you, always update it and customize it.

  22. @RealGizmo
    All our angel beats encodes are DXVA compatible and all that jazz. So they should play fine.
    @Akurei
    Yeah we’re working on last Angel Beats volume, albeit slowly due to xmas. We won’t be subbing the Making of Episode 2 because it requires stupid amounts of typesetting and has almost no voice, but I’ll be including encodes of it in the release.

  23. Thanks for the info and update ar! and thanks for all the hard work and awesome encodes!
    I’m never dissapointed with any of your projects!

  24. Fractale is pretty much my number 1 most desired anime for next season, so I’m glad to see a good group is going to be covering it.

  25. @akurei @ar
    I’m using the latest k-lite, version 6.6.6 (lol)
    The mpc-hc provided is version v1.4.2764.0, the one found on mpc-hc’s download page is v1.4.2499, I’ll download this and try both 32bit and 64bit and report my results, if it’s still a codec error on k-lite’s part I have written on their forums.

  26. yes, the version from mpc-hc’s page seems to work, bot 32bit and 64bit builds.
    windows media player seems to sit at opening media forever though :/
    k-lite has been notified regarding the issue with their provided build of mpc-hc, thanks akurei and ar for the help!

  27. @ RealGizmo
    For 64bit OS they don’t offer a player that can handle intensive encodes, so I had to download the most recent build at the source site (since my OS is 64 bit) There is little support for 64 bit programs so it’s harder to resolve issues. (the 64-bit K-lite addon was inssuficient to aid in playback)
    http://www.xvidvideo.ru/media-player-classic-home-cinema-x86-x64/media-player
    I used to have problems with the Amagami encodes until someone pointed me towards this and I realized a majority of issues are actually player issues that come with the packs. and ever since then I only use a standalone MPC-HC and whichever codec pack I want. they all work, but I switched from K-lite to CCCP because it’s easier to manage and less stressful. but the player lacks various essential features. and I haven’t had any issues with my new configuration. I even created a test file folder with the most intensive typesettings and encodes to test out various players, codec packs and subtitle displays.
    Hope you can resolve your issue completely!

  28. @Mr.Bushido
    We only have so much time to dedicate to speedsubbing each week, and Fractale was the most interesting looking original show this season. Kimi ni Todoke 2 will be oversubbed and it’s mid-week so most of us will be unable to spare time to work on a speedsub for it.

  29. Fractale looks pretty interesting
    I really hope you guys pick up another show, and if i were to choose one, I’d say Yumekui Merry, unless Mazui does it then don’t worry lol
    If anything please don’t bother with IS and Gosick as Static-subs should do a fine job with them, even though it might take a while, and hopefully m.3.3.w doesn’t take ages on KnT2

  30. If this has been said already then forgive me but I would like to suggest Bakuman as a show to pick up. I know that the anime watching community at large are split on liking and disliking Bakuman, but I am on the liking side. Anyway just sayin’. So trolls keep off me 😛

  31. The director (or producer, don’t remember) of Fractale is kind of a faggot, but the premise of the show seems interesting, at least compared to the other shows airing at the same time. I’ll be looking forward to it.

  32. Hopefully you guys can do both GoSick and Fractale. It’s going to feel a bit anemic with only Fractale and Majutsu. Then again, i got used to having new anime ever 2 – 3 days.

  33. I knew there would be a chance of Fractle being picked up with you guys after reading that post on Magane no Kanojo episode 4 which had Hanazawa Kana in it. Can’t love her any less. I recall watching Kaichou wa Maid-sama throughout just because of Sakura. <3
    Thanks for picking up Fractle.
    Not much interested in IS, well SS will be doing it along with Gosick. But if Mazui or UTW picked it up, I would have gone with them.
    as for those who are wondering, here is who's subbing what in winter:
    http://fansubdb.hologfx.com/wiki/Winter_2010

  34. Ugh. Someone please tell anyone to pick up Level E. In any case, happy you guys are picking up Fractale, and there seems to be enough interest in Wandering Son (really excellent manga), so a happy camper here.

  35. Good choice ^^ I have quite high hopes of Fractale, being written by a cultural critic.
    Has any group announced they are going to do Madoka Magica?

    We’d love to pick up a second show but as it stands both Raze & I don’t have time to pick up a 2nd show this season. Raze is in a similar timezone to me now, and this means that both of us have to get up really early (think 2-3am) or not sleep for any show we pick up. Doing two shows a week like this is really tiring, this is how it’s always been for me and Raze feels it now too that he has to deal with it too. That’s why we’ve decided on picking up one show for the time being.
    Some of you guys really need to understand the amount of time we commit to speedsubbing and the times we might need to commit ourselves to each week to do said speedsubbing. That being said we still enjoy doing it, just 2 shows a week like that is pretty tiring is all. If somehow we can manage a 2nd show (probably unlikely but who knows) then we’ll announce picking up a 2nd show when the time comes.

  38. I hope you’ll keep it. There is much less fun in watching good show with funimation errors and lack of decoration.

  39. You could always sub Showa Monogatari. It’s only 4 prequel episodes and no group picked it up yet as far as I know.
    That being said, thanks for Fractale. Funi’s 360p isn’t worth it.
