Unlimited Translation Works

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.

    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.

    GotWorks
    Unlimited GotWorks UGW etc.

  4. Shih on June 21, 2012 at 4:42 am said:

    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.

  5. random1 on June 21, 2012 at 4:46 am said:

    As if SAO wasn’t already oversubbed enough.

  6. Xythar on June 21, 2012 at 4:46 am said:

    GutWorks.

    lol, name should be Unlimited Woot Works 😛

  10. Lozzy on June 21, 2012 at 6:23 am said:

    I’m with Xythar, GutWorks should definitely be a poll choice!

    No group is subbing Uta Koi, feels bad man.

  13. >GUTS
    so gar…….

  14. and also I thought that u would do Koi to Senkyo because *Rihoko* was there 😛
    oh whatever, Kono Imouto seems legit, too

  17. Verix on June 21, 2012 at 7:57 am said:

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

  18. derpherp on June 21, 2012 at 8:16 am said:

    You really miss out Muv Luv? UTW, I’m disappoint…

  19. LoliconSuspect on June 21, 2012 at 8:54 am said:

    Too bad you’re not doing Total Eclipse 🙁

  20. Yellow mouse on June 21, 2012 at 10:04 am said:

    Unlimited Got Woot

  21. 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.

  22. wefwq on June 21, 2012 at 10:22 am said:

    Got Unlimited Woots!!!
    Yes for Sword Art Online ^o^

  23. I agree that UTW-GotWoot will be better, easier for people to search in TokyoTosho or Nyaa.

  24. Keraban on June 21, 2012 at 11:47 am said:

    Yay, you guys are doing Sword Art, awesome :DD

  25. Sumguy on June 21, 2012 at 12:27 pm said:

    @Verix
    Die. SAO is going to be amazing.

  26. 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.

  27. XOXOXO on June 21, 2012 at 1:05 pm said:

    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

  28. XOXOXO on June 21, 2012 at 1:08 pm said:

    @Sumguy
    ignore it, that guy must be a haters.

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

  30. HeavenlyArmed on June 21, 2012 at 1:45 pm said:

    I’d say either GutWorks as stated above or simply UGW. Also, dat backlog.

  31. Dark_Pride on June 21, 2012 at 2:31 pm said:

    Good luck with your projects next season.

  32. furykury1 on June 21, 2012 at 2:34 pm said:

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

  33. 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?

  34. sapphi on June 21, 2012 at 4:09 pm said:

    We’ll oversub it better.

  35. Nyanto! on June 21, 2012 at 4:21 pm said:

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

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

  36. psyopslayerx on June 21, 2012 at 4:21 pm said:

    UTWoots sounds catchy, you guys do awesome subbing.

  37. michi on June 21, 2012 at 4:57 pm said:

    Are you still doing Nisemonogatari once the BDs are out?

  38. Hallgaar on June 21, 2012 at 5:58 pm said:

    It can only be GUTS if you sub berserk

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

  40. Voted UTWoots and I’m pretty happy to see SAO be part of your plans!

  41. Widget on June 21, 2012 at 8:05 pm said:

    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. 😀

  42. ClamXtX on June 21, 2012 at 8:26 pm said:

    UWW Unlimited Woot Works

    im@s batch + special where

  44. boingman on June 21, 2012 at 10:27 pm said:

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

  45. IZEROII on June 22, 2012 at 12:03 am said:

    GotUTW is the best choice.
    Your selections make me happy.

  46. walker on June 22, 2012 at 12:41 am said:

    >Unlimited Translation…. woot?
    Rings nice to me.

  47. s'HoW on June 22, 2012 at 12:59 am said:

    You guys… ” Got Unlimited Woots ” would be nice… 🙂
    but ” GUTS ” is still GAR…

  48. dc1293 on June 22, 2012 at 2:19 am said:

    I don’t suppose anyone knows any other group doing Muv-Luv besides Commie?

  49. hurrdurr on June 22, 2012 at 2:25 am said:

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

    I second GoTW actually. If not that, UTWoots is fine too. GutWorks just sounds silly.

    UnlimitedWoot

  57. Durandal on June 22, 2012 at 7:03 am said:

    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?

  58. @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.

  59. EvilDragon on June 22, 2012 at 9:37 am said:

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

  60. Iron Man on June 22, 2012 at 1:00 pm said:

    Son, I am disappoint, no Muv-Luv, but good choice with Sword Art Online. UTWoots for me.

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

  62. Tori no uta on June 22, 2012 at 2:51 pm said:

    Unlimited woot works!

  63. Anon on June 22, 2012 at 4:34 pm said:

    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.

  64. liberatedliberator on June 22, 2012 at 5:46 pm said:

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

  66. Marche on June 22, 2012 at 8:21 pm said:

    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!

  74. RIPnEncode on June 23, 2012 at 5:34 am said:

    Any chances for BD’s of Mirai Nikki in future?

  75. josesl16 on June 23, 2012 at 5:39 am said:

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

  76. Eternal Wanderer on June 23, 2012 at 8:13 am said:

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

  77. HeavenlyArmed on June 23, 2012 at 2:01 pm said:

    @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).

  78. DarksveN on June 23, 2012 at 2:10 pm said:

    Voted for UTWoots (Unlimited Translation Woots). Goodluck!

  79. narshe_delvar on June 23, 2012 at 2:40 pm said:

    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.

  80. zeroyuki92 on June 23, 2012 at 5:41 pm said:

    @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

  81. RIPnEncode on June 23, 2012 at 6:51 pm said:

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

  82. GotUTW? We got UTW!

  83. randomimposter on June 23, 2012 at 10:47 pm said:

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

  84. losttale on June 23, 2012 at 11:49 pm said:

    thanks guys for picking up SAO…=D

  85. anonymous on June 24, 2012 at 8:41 am said:

    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.

  90. someone on June 29, 2012 at 9:57 pm said:

    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.

  93. Danuchiha99 on June 30, 2012 at 2:37 am said:

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

  94. Eternal Wanderer on June 30, 2012 at 2:45 am said:

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

  95. random1 on June 30, 2012 at 3:09 am said:

    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.

  96. archdevil917 on June 30, 2012 at 3:30 am said:

    release the Accel World pls :_)

  97. eternalrain on June 30, 2012 at 4:51 am said:

    @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.

  98. Presea on June 30, 2012 at 5:14 am said:

    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.

    Oookay… awesome… I’m glad you’re not dropping SAO… thanks for the update!

  111. I reckon you should have “Unlimited Woot Works” as an option >.>

  112. 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.

  113. Bob Joe on June 30, 2012 at 7:41 pm said:

    I will give you my firstborn child if you don’t drop this show.

  117. zerotenshigg on July 1, 2012 at 5:17 am said:

    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

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

  119. 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.

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

  123. anon on July 2, 2012 at 1:34 am said:

    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

  124. spadaboyz on July 2, 2012 at 6:21 am said:

    Don’t drop SAO pleazeeeeeee……

  125. DoNotDropIt on July 2, 2012 at 5:01 pm said:

    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.

  126. ILuvShittyShow on July 2, 2012 at 6:16 pm said:

    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.

  127. RedFox on July 6, 2012 at 6:37 am said:

    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?

  128. Cosmos on July 8, 2012 at 2:19 am said:

    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 🙂
