  1. HOORAY FOR AMAGAMI SS+ AND NISEMONOGATARI…AND THEY ARE MOST CERTAINLY SAFE FROM BEING SIMULCASTED OR WHATNOT…BEING A TBS SHOW AND THE OTHER MADE BY SHAFT!….its a shame that you won’t be doing Another….

  2. Oh baby. I was thinking Amagami was obligatory with you guys but it’s nice to see you picking up Nisemonogatari as well.
    Can’t wait for both.

  3. If Nisemonogatari is done by you guys i can rest, sadly you guys arent planning Another which imo is one other great anime of winter season.

  4. yahoo! amagami SS! seriously though… winter 2012 is when? i have serious problems trying to understand each season’s start/end time.

  5. Nice, Can’t believe the series you’ll be doing also will be Nisemonogatari as well. Though I also do wonder how Amagami SS Plus storyline going to work out…..Oh well. ^^
    This is a good piece of news to my boring day. Nice way to start the new year. Good luck, January here we come!

  6. woot woot UTW I LOVE U GUYS. AMAGAMI SS and NISEMONOGATARI!!!
    my two most anticipated shows for winter season. U guys are awesomeeee xDDDD

  7. @kid
    – Fractale
    – Appleseed XIII
    – C³
    – Hidan no Aria
    ^ Are all overrated?
    Then again, having the community viewing overrated shows from UTW isn’t something to complain about imo.
    Such a shame you are not, probably, doing Another. Hope it gets a decent simulcast at least.
    thx

  8. I must be one of the handful of people that automatically knew you guys were going to do SS+. I’m most looking forward to that. ^^

  9. @kid
    We don’t choose shows by ratings or popularity or anything silly like that. We only sub shows we like and would like to work on, if they happen to be popular shows, so be it.

  10. Two of my most looked forward too shows this season, delighted it’s you guys doing them. Peace!
    Not sure who’s doing Natsume 4 and Daily Lives though, hmm.

  11. @dudestar
    @Setton
    Underwater (UTW encoder Daiz’s group) are doing Another.
    @Aasivaisv
    Commie are doing Natsume. sage are doing Daily Lives.

  12. you guys dotn disappoint, dammn i love you guys^^
    as for kizumonogatari wil you be oing it too? and if you do, will you wait for a BD of the movie or wil you do it when a good raw coems up?

  13. YEAH SS+!!! Guess I should probably watch Bakemonogatari before I watch Nise, though…
    PS – Isn’t this the Winter 2011 <– Season?

  14. No, it’s Winter 2012 as most of winter is in 2012, and almost everything being aired doesn’t start till January.
    Also, woo, two shows I was planning on watching. Of course it was obvious a few days ago when you gave away Nisemonogatari, but still. \o/

  15. Are you guys also going to be doing the 3rd Season of Carnival Phantasm? Pretty please…? šŸ™‚
    Thanks for a great run with Fate/Zero, btw. Can’t wait for the new season to start next year.

  16. @Jake Nisemonogatari is a sequel; Kizumonogatari is the prequel. you mixed them up^^ nisemono means “fake”, referrign to the guy who framed hitagi but also to the koyomi sisters seeign themselves as a duo of justice; kizumono means “damaged goods/ lost virginity”, refering to araragi and to oshino shinobu (though back then, her name wasnt yet oshino shinobu, it was kissshot accelerarion heartunderblade (i tell you nisinoisin went for somehting unpronouncable long weird liek that on purpose! totally on purpose!)
    @rex oyu dotn even need to ask XD isnt it obvious theyre goign to continue with all carnival phantasms? actually im sure they said so before already..

  17. U guys should also do kizumonogatari, as it isn’t really a show (just a suggestion, nothing more)
    But I really like the fact u guys r doing nisemonogatari

  18. @castor212 i dont remember much beeing censored there in the first place?
    and im prettty sure the group already mentioned theyd do both nise and kizu months ago…. they said it in a release post of some other show back then. does obody here read them properly?

  19. WHAT EVER HAPPENS TO THE WORLD (WAR, WORLDWIDE NATURAL DISASTERS, SOPA, ETC) DONT YOU EVER DROP AMAGAMI SS+. NEVER EVER! GOT THAT!
    thank you! ^_^

  20. @Break: I don’t remember reading anything about Carnival Phantasm Season 3 (or wait, did I…?), but yes, I think it’s a given that they’ll be doing it. I just want to ask and/or remind, just to make sure. šŸ˜€

  21. just hope that rihoko doesn’t end up getting friend zoned again…and oh, I hope there would be ovas for maya (because I have a older women/teacher fetish ehehehe) and hibiki too…

  22. Do I need to watch Bakemonogatari before Nise?
    (I think I’m going to watch both anyway.)
    Whose subs for Bakemonogatari you guys recommend?

  23. I watch gg bakemonogatari
    the Specials I take from Coalgirls (BD)
    ———————————
    We are confirmed for the following, barring last-minute simulcasting:
    1. Amagami SS+
    2. Nisemonogatari
    my 2 most anticipated series for next season, done by my most loved sub group. Awesome guys ^^

  24. @castor212 you mean the scenes that show the guro as silhuettes and shadows? didnt think of that as censoring, i think its meant to be a visual style effect…
    @adam326 yes, you definately have to. nismeonogatari si a sequel to bakemonogatari, and if oyu look at it with regards to the other books of the -monogatari series, bakemonogatari can be seen as sort of an introduction..

  25. @Break
    If it’s interesting then sure, if it’s not then probably not. Anyway, if we do it we do it. The BD isn’t even out yet and doesn’t come out for 2 more days, chillax. šŸ˜›

  26. Pardon the over excitement here, but I must…
    UTW, you guys are awesome. I had a feeling guys were going to do Amagami SS+, but Nisemonogatari too? I didn’t want either gg or 8thSin to do it, the latter already failed with “Travesty” instead of Impostory, and he didn’t do unlocalized subs for a series such as Nisemonogatari.
    I was hopelessly praying UTW was going to do Nisemonogatari, and with this news, it seems like my prayer got answered. So, thanks again, UTW.

  27. @UEW,
    LOLOL your happy utw is doing nise because you didnt want 8thsin to do it? well, wait till you find out who’s translating nise for utw.

  28. I loved Bakemonogatari, so I’ll be looking forward to this winter’s releases. Also, I agree with AzureHakua — it will be a bitch.

  29. To the UTW staff
    Thank you for taking on Amagami SS+ AND Nisemonogatari. Also Thank you
    for a wonderfull year of anime that you have brought us.
    Please keep up the good work. Your fans appreciate it.
    Have a Happy New Year!

  30. Well, it looks like I won’t be downloading UTW this season.
    And I had high hopes for a joint with Underwater to do Another.

  31. What is the point in having a second season of Amagami? Didn’t the first season (with the two bonus episodes, too) already cover pretty much everything there is to cover from the original game? If there isn’t an Amagami SS+ game for this to be based off of, and if 90%-99% of the game’s original content was already covered by the first series, then where does that leave us with this one? This news is as baffling to me as if Kyoto Animation were to have announced in 2007 that following on the heels of their hugely successful re-animation of Kanon that they were going to deliver a second series called “Kanon+.”
    Haven’t watched any of the -gatari stories by Nisio Isin yet. Should probably get on that. Bakemonogatari, Katanagatari, …

  32. I love you UTW members, the two shows I have deemed as must must absolutely must watch and you are doing both, Thanks.

  33. I mean, there are lots of up-down than a down-up. Example: Fractale, Appleseed XIII, C³, Hidan no Aria are kind of Up-Down shows.
    And it just a thought that counts, I didn’t says you “have to”.

  34. I’m digging the new layout, and the anime’s you guys pick to translate. I’m looking forward to it. šŸ˜€

  35. @Tal bakemonogatari and katanagatari are unrelated story-wise, so you dotn need to watch katanagatari to watch nnisemonogatari. well, i still recommend it as its really good and the aartstyle is unique. you have to watch bekemonogatari rto udnerstand nisemonogatari though of course.

  36. How will you handle the sings/typesetting stuff?
    I loved the gg release of bakemonogatari because it was non intrusive and simple, however, the coalgirls release was way over the top, sometimes replacing full screens with some really cheap powerpoint-made-esque stuff that completely ruined the series.

  37. @Peix
    And now I’m sad and mad. At the least, I hope 8thSin will follow UTW’s dual sub track practice for unlocalized/localized.

  38. Ohh yeah, I’m with you guys. It doesn’t matter the size, time and format, you’re the best team for these two series. I’m in.

  39. I love you guys, these would have been the 2 I would want you to do. Now if you guys just picked up ZnT, my life would be -literally- complete.
    I honestly thought you would have done that anyway, considering ZnT is just Hidan no Aria but a lot better (at least imo).
    Please do ZnT!!!

  40. If you’re only doing two shows, way to pick two of the best. Looking forward to UTW’s fantastic translations as per usual.

  41. Would only watch Amagami coming out of UTW. Glad it’s on the list. Still was hoping to see Another make the list. Maybe it will end being a joint…

  42. @The handsome stranger witht he hairy balls
    I’m typesetting Nise, and the typesetting will be handled the same way I handle Carnival Phantasm and other shows; non-intrusively, ie. fit the english around the kanji rather than over it.

  43. @ar
    so deska =(
    too bad , I was hoping to watch it from you guys
    there’s a big difference between you and hadena =(
    ano ..
    if hidan’s 2nd season came out ( if )
    will you guys translate it our not ? < I hope so =)

  44. @UEW:
    You mean with honorifics, senpai etc.? I would be surprised to see them in Nise (even as a 2nd sub track), although UTW usually have those in their subs.

  45. @katsu since when is that areason to not watch it from them? also, considering aria’s DVD and BD-salees, a secodn season is very unlikely. and i dout theyd do it, considering hwo bad the naime was most of the time.
    btw cant wait to see oyu guys doing carnival phantasm 3rd season and fate/prototype now taht theyre out, cant wait for a raw oud use to pop up xD

  46. so i just watched fate/prototype, and i guess it is okay, and the animation is top notch, however, the whole OVA does seem more like a kind of long trailer than anything else, much similar to the mirai nikki OVA last year. makes me wonder if they actually plan on animating the whole thing or not.

  47. According to the Type-Moon website, Fate/Prototype is just a digest OVA/Trailer there and there no plans for any release be it a Visual Novel or anime.

  48. >According to the Type-Moon website, Fate/Prototype is just a digest OVA/Trailer there and there no plans for any release be it a Visual Novel or anime.
    I feel like that’s just the safe thing for them to say so they’re saying it. In reality, I get the feeling that this trailer is meant to test the waters and see how fans respond. If the majority are like “Man, this is fucking stupid. I am so glad FSN turned out the way that it did,” then they’ll bluff and say, “Yeah, we only ever made this trailer so you could have some little taste of what it would have been like. But we totally agree. lolz F/P blows, FSN rocks!” But if, on the other hand, the majority of the Japanese fans fall into either one of these two acceptable camps, then I think we just might see some more F/P in the future:
    (1) the camp that says, “Holy balls, Fate/Prototype is everything I ever dreamed of!”
    (2) the camp that says, “So Fate/Prototype may not be better than FSN. So what? It still looks like it could be a lot of fun. From what I’ve seen, do I think it’ll be worse than FSN? Yeah, I do. But do I think it’ll necessarily be bad? Hell no.”
    I’m in Camp 2 myself. The way I see it, liking Fate/Prototype and liking Fate/Stay Night is sort of like liking the universe of Paramount’s Star Trek that they established in TOS, TNG, and DS9 but at the same time also saying, “You know, I really quite enjoyed J. J. Abrams’ Star Trek movie. It was fun. In an ‘alternate universe’ ‘fanfic from Heaven’ kind of way.” You’re allowed to like both. And you’re allowed to still have a favorite. Just like you can say, “I still prefer TNG to AbramsTrek,” so too can you say “I still prefer FSN to F/P.” Doesn’t mean you don’t want to see it animated though.
    So yeah. Type-Moon may have announced that they have no plans to go any further with this project, but I think this trailer amounts to one enormous strip of pH paper that they’re testing the waters with.

  49. @Break
    I think ” much better quality ” is a good reason =)
    ohh to bad T_T
    really ? are you kidding me ? it was amazing
    Btw ,
    happy new year every body

  50. @Tal agreed, and im in camp 2 too. also, proto-saber seems like the love child of gil and saber.
    @katsu you lost me, kinda…. is this acontinuation of a ocnevrersation we had before?

  51. Thanks, those are the two shows that im really looking forward to, especially amagami, since i’m a big fan romance and also a big fan of ur subs(since i watched all the shows that u subbed from the moment this group started subbing until now^^) so keep up the good work(^_^)

  52. Please don’t drop nise. D: I don’t want to use crappy CR subs for an anime of this caliber. I was really looking forward to using UTW for it also.

  53. Thank you CR for killing it for those who aren’t in your ‘selected territories’. Subs will be shit anyways, so I might as well count myself lucky that I can’t watch it.
    Sorry, but I won’t trust Crunchyroll ever again after their horrendously unwatchable Ika Musume subs. I can’t even think of how they will handle the wordplay and on-screen text. Since CR more or less panders to the ‘casual fans’, localization ahoy anyone?
    For the love of God, until streaming is offered everywhere from Antarctic to Zimbabwe, and the subs do the show justice, don’t die fan-subs.
