Welp, I resisted for as long as I could, but we finally updated the OP to the official lyrics. It is with great sadness that we have replaced “I’m ready!” with “I’m lady!”, along with some minor adjustments. My sincerest apologies to all for subjecting you to this.
I’m not sorry in the least, however, for this episode full of Azusa-and-Miki-in-wedding-dress, Makoto-in-tuxedo goodness. The ep is a clusterfuck of wth, but never has wth looked so good while telling fortunes or been so utterly lost while helping grandmothers cross the street.
Yes, feel free to cry for us once you count up the number of insert songs and anime-originals. We accept tears, blood, cash donations, and cookies. Warm cookies, though. None of that cold shit, please.
Quick note re: that guy I’m sure you’re all going to wonder about. He is never, ever introduced by name. Unless that is his name. Since he is referred to by the same name both in print and in person, we decided that his status passes for his name. After all, Azusa’s (and in several instances, the other idols’) friend Tomomi’s name is written as 友美, so why can’t other people be referred to by their roles?! The characters in Tomomi’s name are, literally, “friend” and “beauty,” a very common element in a girl’s name, used in this case to stress the name’s generic aspect. The name Tomomi, however, is a perfectly common name, though usually written with different kanji.
Finally, since I personally didn’t know about this: The ED, Hanikami! First Bite is a reference to the traditional first bites of the wedding cake taken by the bride and groom at the reception, fed to one another.
Post-incredibly-long delay notes: Psy here. Regardless of circumstances, we’ve made you wait a very, very long time for these episodes. m(_ _)m Gomennasai. We’ll most likely have everything released by some time tomorrow. Enjoy the eps, and once again, our apologies for the delays.
No worries, thanks for the release! 🙂
Woow I first thought that I’m lady line was a troll… now the song sounds 10 times as dumb.
Daiz sure did take his time typesetting this.
Wow, I can’t believe that you guys released IM@S on my birthday! Thanks for this present, been waiting for a long time for this. Now I can celebrate my birthday by watching IM@S…
@potte – Happy birthday! I’ll have you know, we planned everything this way. To release on your bday and all. Genius, right?
Thanks for the wait! :p. Seriously, thanks for all the effort.
The filesonic file seems to have been deleted?
I mean the SD file
I actually thought it was “Are you ready? I’m a lady!” all along, but I admit it does sound stupid.
It’s cool. High Quality Delays 😀
Wait…I’m lady is the actual lyric? Japan…
Typsetting hell or not, thanks for the release. I have been waiting on this, Nichijou, and Iroha from Daiz but glad to see he put Idolm@ster first in priority.
Thanks for the eps, it for sure was a long wait, but it was worth it – an episode full of Azusa in a wedding dress, hard to top that 😀
lol this has to be a trap. I wasn’t expecting this for another few weeks.
Oh I see. Finally catch up like 12 hours I give in and download Doki’s 8-10 instead.
found a mistake in the release.
07:58 “Prodcer, that’s the one!”
Thanks for the release! 🙂
ALways’s wait for yours. It’s better late than never
Anyone else notice Jorgun and Barinbow’s (Gurren Lagann) long lost brother at 14:36
this episode was very interesting
22:25 – 22:32 Subs flicker for anyone else?
This episode was by far the most fun to watch. The classic epic chase scene~ Been so long since I’ve seen it so well done.
“We’re all lady!”
God dammit! That doesn’t even make sense. Fuck Japan…
YOU BUNCH OF FUCKING PRICKS
NEXT TIME YOU’D BETTER GET OFF YOUR ASS AND TRY TO RELEASE THINGS ON TIME
Thanks for the release, and good work as always!
Gee~~Thank god~!:D
Good job for the release UTW!
Oh Japan, and your song lyrics that make less sense than what fansubbers think the lyrics are ;(
Japan really sucks at English… If you’re going to use it so much, please use it in a way that makes sense for the rest of the world.
Just echoing everyone’s moaning about how stupid the official lyrics are…
And while Japan does suck at English overall, I do find that J-Pop tends to butcher English more than say, J-Rock does on average.
leo@uhw I had the same issue. Anyone not have this issue? If so what codex/renderer are you using?
I could say “Told you so!” about the “I’m Lady” bit, but looking back at my old comment (http://utw.me/2011/07/15/the-idolmster-02/comment-page-1/#comment-22562) I was still a bit off. What can I say, IM@S loves puns.
