Surprise double release for today! Here’s Carnival Phantasm episode 12 and the mini OVA included in the third volume, Fate/Prototype, for your enjoyment. This brings us to the end of the Carnival Phantasm project!
It’s been a long but very fulfilling ride through the three volumes of this series. Quite possibly the best gag parody series I’ve ever seen, I enjoyed watching every minute of it, and it has been so much pleasure to share this wonderful series with you all. It’s always sad to see a good series end, but that’s what makes the experience all the more valuable. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
I suppose it was pretty interesting to watch this small Fate/Prototype digest and see how the concepts in it eventually matured to those present in the Fate/Stay Night game. The middle section, put simply, was a TL nightmare, replete with contextless Nasu(TM) dialogue all overlapping one another (up to four voices talking simultaneously). After some analysis, thought, and mix-and-matching, I’m hopeful I did the translations justice.
And… the curtain call!
Raze (TypeMoon Fag/Translator/Editor/QC):
[spoiler]It’s always a challenge to translate comedy so that the jokes come through in English, but this series took it to the next level by parodying the massive TypeMoon universe (meaning I really needed to do my homework), as well as making references everywhere to all sorts of series and movies, which meant each line had to be approached with extreme care. I gave each episode everything I had because they deserved nothing less, and I’m very, very glad all of you seemed to enjoy the end result a great deal.
I really have to give it to my friend ar here for the insane quality of his typesetting. His signs made my jaw drop in awe many, many times in the course of working on this series, and it all came from hours and hours of hard work and an insistence on perfection. Thanks also go to the other staff who gladly chipped in their free time to make these subs possible. And of course, my deepest appreciation goes to Eri Takenashi and the geniuses at Lerche labs for coming up with these jokes. Rarely have I laughed so hard in my life![/spoiler]
ar (Typesetter/Encoder):
[spoiler]Where to begin… This project was a hell of a lot of fun and each episode made me laugh continuously, with some being particularly funnier than others, but all of them were great as a whole. Everytime a new volume (Season) came out I knew it would be hell to work on, but completing each episode felt great. I knew that after all the hours of typesetting, being able to sit down and enjoy the episode would be bliss, and that it definitely was. My knowledge of the Nasuverse is fair I suppose, there’s a lot I don’t know and a lot that I’d love to know, and it seems like watching each of episode of this and then hassling Raze with questions paid off, as well as looking things up myself where I could. All in all, I would estimate a good ~250-300 hours were spent on typesetting this gem, which was practically all my free time whenever we were working on another season, but I had a blast working with Raze and the others on this, so it was time well spent. And while I was definitely burnt out after each episode, I would probably still do it again. Lerche did a wonderful job animating Carnival Phantasm for a new Studio, and I hope they continue to produce more high quality work in the future with more of this great typography work they’ve so far displayed. My hat goes off to them and to my bros who I spent hours working with on this series.[/spoiler]
Kusion (Timer):
[spoiler]Carnival Phantasm has been the most fun I’ve had timing a series in a very long time, and I’m glad that I was able to work on it. Every episode was filled with laughs, and it was also hilarious to watch Bob64 and __ar work for hours on the whiteboard of doom (now with much more “doom” than iDOLM@STER’s!) Hope you all enjoyed the ride![/spoiler]
Thanks also go to Bob64 and fnord for assisting with the typesetting, Moshi for his very valuable input, and fgghjjkll for filling in for the timing of ep9.
Please enjoy the final episode of this incredible series, and thank you for flying UTW! A batch will hopefully be released sometime soon.

  1. Hell, too bad America’s started to become more like the Arabian Emirates with their strike towards Internet censorship. I liked fileserve and filesonic better.
    Anyways, thanks for the releases 😀

  2. Thank you all. Maybe you could translate the last extra, The Tsuki No Sango PV? Please? Of course, if you don’t want to do it, I’ll just shut up and thank you again for the GREAT work. But it’s only 4 minutes and very little dialogue. I would rock to have a full collection from you guys.

  3. Wow to think that internet would die…
    Hope we will be able to see a comeback in the next months coming.
    Thanks for the ep, UTW.

  4. It has been a marvel experience that could not become possible without your efforts.
    Truely a great job well done!!

  5. this anime is shit, it tries too hard to be funny and fails epically. EPIC FAIL
    also youre subs are shit as always

  6. It seems Prototype had much more interesting characters and a much more “black magic” driven story.
    :/ it’s a shame it changed so much.
    Anyhow, thanks for the TL 🙂

  7. where’s OP & ED Creditless?
    and one more, Carnival Phantasm Tohno Akiha wa Nayandeiru ?
    thanks for the release.

  8. @DmonHiro
    That “special” isn’t a special, it’s just Akiha talking about episode 2 which we’ve already translated and released, it’s basically an ad of sorts. So we won’t be doing it, sorry.

  9. “A batch will hopefully be released sometime soon.”
    Will there be some changes in the Batch (Subtitles or anything else) ?
    I´m asking because I want to copy the files to a DVD.
    If there a changes in the Batch, I will wait untill it´s released, if there a no changes, I can burn the DVD now.

  10. D’oh, you guys released Fate/Prototype!
    Lol… my group’s been a bit slow lately, didn’t get to it yet. And yeah, looked like a TS/TL nightmare (the overlapping voices, and those screens-o-text twice…).
    Thanks for the (always) awesome work.

  11. Thank you all for your hard work!
    It is precisely because of that hard work that makes your subs worth watching!
    Thanks again! You guys did a GREAT job!
    YOU GUYS ROCK!

  12. Great big thank you from here. Show was awesome and you did an amazing job of it, keeping it in line with the entire Type-Moon catalogue. Well done.

  13. @ar: no, Tsuki no Sango PV is an extra in season 3, it’s an ad for a CD novel by Nasu Kinoko and voiced by Sakamoto Maaya

  14. Thank you very much for subbing this and congratulations on finishing the project! Carnival Phantasm crack me up. I’ve watched it at least 5 time whole and it gets me every time. You guys are great and I hope you will continue your hard and marvelous work. UTW is definitely in my regular download pool now^^.
    ALL HAIL UTW!!!!!

  15. @etherlite
    Nope it’s not. There’s nothing on either blu-ray disc of Season 3 like that. So I don’t know where it came from, sorry.

  16. Thanks a bunch for releasing this series, it literally is one of the best gag comedy I’ve seen in a long while. Hope you keep it up with the great subs. Thanks

  17. Sakura is watching you. I’m indescribable grateful that you took this show to the end. I enjoyed (and still enjoy) watching it – it became my favourite (nonsense) comedy show. Thank you for your devilish awesome work!

  18. You guys translated the jokes dead on.”Language barrier” and “lost in translation” does not exist for UTW. Thanks a lot for this show, I couldn’t have enjoyed it with any other subs.

  19. Thank you guys for subbing this show.
    And nice to read your comments on the show, and for us fans its always nice to have fansubbers like you, who take their job seriously and bring a lot of fun to us non-japanese watchers with such a great quality.
    And you did a great great job on this series !

  20. Thanks UTW for subbing this show. As a TypeMoon fanboi I love it to death! I owe you guys a beer or three!!

  21. Gods of anime please make Fate Prototype its own series. with 11 mins of footage I already like it more than the fate stay anime.

  22. Hell guys, Carnival Phantasm was WAY TOO AWESOME. I can’t get enough of it >w<
    Thanks a lot guys for doing such a flawless subbing!
    SEASON FOUR! SEASON FOUR!!

  23. Excellent work, guys. I love you guys, I love Carnival Phantasm and I’m really, really, REALLY sad that it’s over. I’m not kidding, I watched the RAWs and I was in tears when the F/Z and KnK cameos happened. I really want this endless hell of madness to go on forever.
    I raise my glass to TM, Lerche, and to you, UTW. You have made our lives brighter.

  24. @Taro:
    See the episode 11 post for an example of what will be fixed in the batch release.
    Thanks to UTW for working on this hilarious series. I have to say that I prefered the Fatecentric episodes, especially ep. 8 (SABER!) and 9 (Mario Kart meets F/S N).

  25. I hope Fate/Prototype gets its own series.
    2 hours movie or a few episodes of OVA is ok to me.
    This seems more interesting than F/SN itself.

  26. Nice work guys.
    Also in the last episode after the credits; Aoko and Touko in the same room, NOT KILLING EACH OTHER!? *Mindblown*

  27. @Arthion
    Hey, it’s happened before (in Fate/Extra)! Sadly, I don’t know too much about them, but I could tell from Fate/Extra that they really hate each other…

  28. Awesome work as always; thank you so much : )
    May I ask a question…in the final Tiger Dojo, the sign in the back has been translated as ‘Kerala Bhavan’…may I ask what that refers to, only I find it unlikely that it’s in homage of a local indian restaurant in my area XD

  29. Thanks guys for doing this, though I’m kinda curious, where’s the IDOLM@STER batch?! It’s been on hold for quite a while now haven’t it?

  30. @Enamelthyst if I had to guess, either male Saber’s or the female version of Shirou. (whatever her name was.)

  31. First, thanks so much for your hard work on this wonderfully funny series.
    @Plaza
    YES! It was like “holy shit, is that v.v.?? FUCK YES IT IS!” Even slipping in a Notes ref, awesome.

  32. finally, i can comment for this in last carnival phantasm episode xD :
    “everyone are so cruel! you guys know this would happened yet you guys still trying to choose a harem ending! cruel! too cruel!”
    -cough- hmm.. and ayaka seems kinda out-of-place.. she doesnt seem like any character from fate. more like tsukihime or knk

  33. @GM: In case you were also wondering “hmm, Type-Venus, doesn’t that sound awfully similar to Type-Moon?” that’s because the name of the company, Type-Moon, is another way used to refer to the father of all vampires, Brunestud of the Crimson Moon. The Types are beings originally created in one of Kinoko Nasu’s earliest stories, Notes.

  34. First off: THANK YOU. For subbing and releasing this series. This is something I suspect will never see an official English release, due mainly to cost vs. profit considerations. So I’m extremely happy to have had the opportunity to watch this.
    Second: I’ll have to agree. This series really is the funniest gag series I’ve seen in… well, I honestly can’t remember. It usually took me a good half-hour to watch each new episode simply because I was laughing too hard to continue! And even after multiple re-watches, I still find myself laughing quite loudly.
    I’m really going to miss this crazy carnival. Maybe someday they’ll feel inspired to revisit it. After all, they still have the 4th Grail War to cover… 😉

  35. Thank you very much for this cool work.
    I hope Fate/Prototype will get animated as well. I think I heard Hanazawa voice (I somehow had this feeling in the last line in CP too).
    It’d be great if the anime will be considered.

  36. You were right, F/P was disappointing, middle part was unwatchable 😐 Still, it could be great as a whole series. Even Hanazawa is much better than Shirou 😛 Archer’s weapon = awesomeness.
    I’ll watch CP after beating HF~

  37. guys,, you’re seriously awesome! i can’t find appropriate word to express my thanks for all of your hard work in this ingenious project… best luck for all of you from UTW guys ^^

  38. And my hat goes off to all you guys in the UTW who’ve contributed so much to complete and deliver this masterpiece to minna-san, including me. Thanks a whole lot. I really enjoy this series as I’m also a Type-Moon fag.

  39. Unrelated post directed at Raze (if u notice this).
    (Don’t know where else to post this)
    Where did u get Aiyoku no Eustia? I plan to get it as my next vn

  40. Great ending, I rolf’ed so hard.
    As for Fate Prototype it looked like a combination of Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime. It however had a completely different feel than both…and while I still think latter are better, I have to say it seemed really interesting. It has a lot of potential.
    Can’t wait for Type Moon to turn Prototype in to an anime-series 😀

  41. I really enjoyed this show, it’s been a while since I laughed so much. Great comedy mixed to perfection!
    Thanks UTW for such great subs and all your hard work.

  42. Would have cried manly tears of joy praising this group’s AWESOME name…
    If not all the praises for the show and the group have already been covered…
    While having a very aged pc from the Jurassic era of computers… Still enjoyed your releases very much…
    Only hopes that you release a torrent batch of the SD XviD versions… All them DDLs of previous episodes no longer works… 🙁
    Thanks so much…! And hoping to be of help to you when an up-to-date pc is acquired and have learned hoe to encode and typeset for fansubbing purposes… 😉

  43. lol i prefer the Girl over Emiya……. ah well although it was hard to follow especially the stuff in the middle xD. another excellent Carnival Phantasm though

  44. Fate Prototype: Now that has to be the most epic concept animation I’ve ever seen. According to the Type-Moon wikia, the eventual genderswap was supposed to appeal to the perceived male-dominated otaku fanbase. But with the Fate series now being so popular, perhaps Type-Moon should seriously consider making a one-off “reverse harem” version of the 5th Holy Grail War someday. (Though Type-Moon might probably want to reconsider the stellar A-listed seiyuu cast used here, or they’ll go bankrupt very soon. lol )
    I see where many of the original story elements in the final product came from, mainly Archer was supposed to be Gilgamesh all along, but then the genderswap enabled Nasu to envision a badass future version of Shiro as Archer, and so Gil got shafted as the 8th Servant instead.
    The ending sequence with Ayaka’s yandere older sister Manaka laughing maniacally about being reunited with her knight Saber suggests Kiritsugu and Irisviel were borne from this character. Her yandere-ness must be where Urobuchi Gen got his inspiration for the “tainted Irisviel” at the climax of Fate Zero, while her status as Saber’s “previous Master” were given to Kiritsugu instead.
    But I’d much prefer the present version of Kirei compared to Sancraid Phahn, his counterpart in this version. Both are creepy psychopaths but in different ways, Kirei is creepy but still badass, whereas Sancraid comes across as just plain “gay”. 🙂
    BTW, for the Carnival Phantasm last episode, love the cameo by Fate Zero, F/HA and Kara no Kyoukai characters as well. (Pity that Ryougi Shiki has been confined to the kitchen, though it probably suits her broody personality) Perhaps they ought to do a CP centred around FZ and KnK next time.

  45. Oh as for the CP episode itself, I’m just glad they managed to submit to the will of the “Twitter electorate” and go for the harem route, man that just cracked me up.
    Is it me or is Sakura actually quite creepily evil this episode? Despite Shiro’s precautions in trying to date all girls at once, she can be seen everywhere if you observe carefully.
    This is especially true in the cinema scene, at first I thought Shiro was making a great risk watching the same movie with Rin and Sakura at different rows. But it turns out Shiro booked another movie to watch with her, meaning Sakura actually knew what Shiro was up to, but decided to continue with the facade instead for reasons only known to herself. 🙂

  46. Seriously this series is fantastic, and as everyone has already said, thank you so much for translating it guys 🙂
    There’s only one little problem and I’m pretty sure it’s something on my end but for some reason the fate/prototype keeps showing up as just a blank green screen, I can hear the sounds but no picture. I’ve had the same problem with a couple other shows I downloaded from other sources have the same problem. (I’m using vlc media player) any help would be fantastic!

  47. It’s over… I can’t believe it the carnalval is over……. just a few final words
    Season Four! Season Four!
    Thank you UTW for your excelent work on this series, you’re the best!

  48. Fate/Prototype was actually getting me interested. I couldn’t keep up with the pace of it all, though. I think Saber could have talked more, but the girl just didn’t keep me interested enough.
    R.I.P Carnival Phantas— SEASON FOUUUUURRR!!!!!

  49. Type moon is the bone of the anime Business
    Visual novels are there body and anime is their blood
    They have Created over a thousand series
    Yet unknown to Shiki Tohno
    Nor to Emiya Shirou
    Have withstood money to create many series
    yet those hands will alwalys hold something
    So i pray
    Unlimited type moon works !!!!!!!!!

  50. it as all epic^^ however did anyone else notice how proto-saber is just like.. well.. the love child of saber and gil? xD

  51. All the Carnival’s worked fine, but for some reason Prototype’s video is all messed up.
    I don’t believe it is anything on my end, and it happened on both the 1080 and th 720.
    Is anyone else having these issues?

  52. @ar
    @FoxesDen
    Definitely not my codecs I have the latest CCCP, but thanks for trying to help. I watch way to many shows for my own good, but something about Prototypes vid just wont work right.
    I wonder if someone messed with my settings or installed something else that is interfering with certain codecs. Guess I got to go diving through my settings and files…. -_-
    Anyways, Thanks again.

  53. Thanks a bunch to all the staffs who worked [really hard] on the Carnival Phantasm series ’till the end!
    @Type-Moon
    I DEMAND FOR A SEASON FOUR!!!!
    @Ryu Infiniti
    You’re not the only one having those problems. Other than having “noise” or glitches [i dunno what to call it], it only shows as a green screen in VLC. I hope anyone could help me with these ‘cuz I’m no expert in the fields of computer and programs T^T

  54. I use ZoomPlayer
    Managed to get it to work, my settings were really messed up. Dunno who messed with it, but I am going to kick their ass once i find out.

  55. Not sure if this was asked but for the batch will there be any changes to prototype, ex season, or Ilya’s castle? If not I’m just going to grab those right away.

  56. Shiki has it much tougher than Shirou. Shirou only has 3 girls to worry about while Shiki has a bagillion bitches after him, half of them are insane in their own way, the other half are just plain bat shit insane. The Nanaya-gland is both a blessing and a curse.
    Anyways, V/V!!! I never thought I would ever get to actually see her on screen.
    And of course: SEASON 4! SEASON 4!

  57. Hi, everyone
