Oh shit! We’ve finally released an episode!
Yeah, so there’s a good reason that most Shaft series don’t typically get worked on beyond what’s done while it airs on TV. They are a ton of work and finding the spare time to do a good job of it isn’t easy, but never fear! We have the courage to stall 10 more episodes!
But here’s a brief rundown of the current situation:
Episode 2 @ QC.
Episode 3 @ QC.
Episode 4 @ QC.
Episode 5 @ Typesetting.
We’ll get through the episodes as time permits, and release each episode as soon as it’s been signed off as good to go. All of us are pretty busy nowadays, and this is a side project we wanted to do, so basically weekly shows come first, then batches, and then stuff like this when we have some free time and actually feel like working on Chinese cartoons.

    I love you guys. Been down lately since CG dropped theirs.

    any progress on the type-moon front?

    Always wanted to watch this show. Thanks guys!

  5. “ThisMustBeFake!”
    i agree
    I didn’t think it was actually going to happen.

  6. Oh. My. God. (゚∀゚*)

  7. Solaristics on October 3, 2012 at 4:57 am said:

    Whos subs are these? Yours or someone elses?

  8. archerz on October 3, 2012 at 4:58 am said:

    Where is the Fate Zero BD 2?

  9. The dialogue is CR base + tlc/editing and the preview is our own tl of course, along with op/ed/signs.

  10. Nothim on October 3, 2012 at 5:09 am said:

    About damn fucking time Jesus fuck. Hopefully it won’t take a million of years to get another ep.

  11. Guess I’ll be the one to ask this question.
    The commentary, you surely didn’t leave it out, did you?

  12. It’s included in the 1080p but not subtitled because we really don’t have that kind of free time to tl it.

  13. Tesark on October 3, 2012 at 5:21 am said:

    Fantastic. Thanks for the release. But at the risk of sounding like a greedy ingrate, is there any chance you guys will do the NCOPs as well?

  14. Creditless Stuff… if enough people want it we’ll include it at the end.

  15. Anonymous on October 3, 2012 at 5:38 am said:

    Thank you, I appreciate the release. That said, were yellow subs really the best choice?

  16. @Anonymous
    Daiz styled the dialogue, and we liked how it looked, it was easy enough to read since its mostly on black backgrounds, and it was something different. To each his own of course.

  17. Awesome guys, thanks for the release, The wait is worth it ^^

  18. Just finished watching the episode, and my god! You guys have really outdone you’re selves yet again… Who ever designed the op/ed subtitles. I love you. They’re absolutely amazing. I love the way the op sub colours change as Senjougahara passes through them, how much time did they take?

  19. @Alex
    I think i spent about 10-12 hours doing the OP, because it’s in ASS format I basically had to create each unique mask for Hitagi’s shadows and then vector trace them. There was around 200-250 of them if i recall correctly. It Some required a lot of preparations work because of particles and stuff, but generally the ones without credits took around 2-3mins each.

  20. sagebeard on October 3, 2012 at 6:11 am said:

    oh wow…really? Did 8thsin rise from the dead after his anime-burnout? Also, where did you guys find the time to do this? but… itsdonesothiscantbefakeamiright?
    Thank y’all for this wonderful present—

  21. @Anonymous
    Though after finally watching it myself, I may darken the borders a little for Episode 2 onwards, there was a few parts where the text began to blend into the background a little too much. That should give more contrast between foreground and background.

  22. Tesark on October 3, 2012 at 6:14 am said:

    @ar
    Ah, then hopefully I’m not the only strange guy that collects them. Heh
    And nice job on the opening subs. I think this is the only subgroup with translated lyrics that make sense all the way through. I don’t know what it is, but after that point at 6:40, every other group just has a string of words. Which I do find rather odd, considering up until that point, the translations are very similar. (Ex. Nervous when near, Staring out a window, What do you love about me)
    Oh well, I have a version that makes sense now. Thanks again.

  23. Would prefer Tamayura over this, as we’ve all seen this already in the TV version, but still nice to have it. Thanks!

  24. Akihiko Sanada on October 3, 2012 at 6:20 am said:

    I’ve been waiting for this.
    So much that I haven’t even seen the TV series yet.

  25. I’ve seen the Commie release of this anime, I personally didn’t like the anime AT ALL. Besides some kinky dialogue, that’s all there is to it, no substance whatsoever, this anime sucks, no offense to the fans

  26. anonymous on October 3, 2012 at 6:52 am said:

    The typesetter and op/ed designer is a genius!

    UTW + Nisemono? = Epic
    will wait for official batch~
    and thanks UTW…

  32. Ovindel on October 3, 2012 at 8:38 am said:

    Haven’t seen Nisemonogatari yet. I’m definitely up for UTW’s subs! I will wait until the batch is released though and hope you guys finish it before the next TV season starts.

    Christmas comes early! Thanks, much appreciated!

  34. Awesome. Thanks.

    The usual Shaft randomness. I swear the entire studio has OCD or something.

  38. Mutsakman1 on October 3, 2012 at 1:11 pm said:

    Thanks so much for finding the time in your busy schedules. I look forward to the next release when you find the time once more. Thanks.

  39. DarkChaplain on October 3, 2012 at 2:50 pm said:

    Holy carp, I can’t even begin to imagine how much effort went into styling the OP!
    Thanks for that!

  40. canzer on October 3, 2012 at 2:58 pm said:

    hey guys, which group do you recommend to get bakemonogatari bd from? No over-localized subs please 😛
    i gotta get ready to watch nisemonogatari.

  41. L-sama on October 3, 2012 at 3:38 pm said:

    Thanks!! Like some people have said before, I’m also waiting for your release (some batch, to be precise), before watching the series =)

    Thanks! 😀

  45. GrandMaster_JAX on October 3, 2012 at 4:18 pm said:

    @canzer
    I suggest the ANE version. You can find it on BakaBt ( Bakemonogatari (10-bit, 1080p) [ANE] ). Lower resolutions not available, but you shouldnt want a lower quality for Bakemonogatari anyway.
    You might want to check Yumi fansubs in 2013+ if they ever decide to release a better version.

  46. GrandMaster_JAX on October 3, 2012 at 5:04 pm said:

    The courage to sub the Nisemonogatari Blu-rays
    Thank you UTW.

  47. Such fine clip/iclip in the OP! Was it CorelDraw?

  48. damedame on October 3, 2012 at 7:53 pm said:

    I’m glad I waited for this. Just 10 more episodes left!
    Thanks UTW.

  49. DUDES!
    Please give an early warning next time; I nearly jizzed on my pants as soon as I opened the website! ¬¬

  50. I just downloaded Nisemonogatari TV a week ago, WHY DID I NOT WAIT FOR THIS.

  51. Are Amagami specials and Amnesia OVA still planned?

  52. Kuriko on October 3, 2012 at 9:37 pm said:

    Thank you so much. I love you, UTW. Keep up the great work!

  53. ar, that opening was epic! Thanks for the focus on the details! You must be OCD to even attempt to produce something of that quality. 😉

  54. Soukyuu on October 3, 2012 at 9:59 pm said:

    Oh wow. I can’t believe those are truly softsubs… Nice work! Feels good to be back to the world of epic randomness… Now if only koharubi revived to finish their bakemonogatari version…

  55. キタ━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━ッ!!!!!

  56. fifthrider on October 3, 2012 at 11:35 pm said:

    Getting a weird crashing error in the OP with mplayer2 on OSX – never seen this with any of your encodes before. Did you change something?

  57. Rokudaime on October 3, 2012 at 11:36 pm said:

    Can we at least get some kind os news about Fate/Zero S2 BD’s? Are you guys working on them? I can wait, but I haven’t heard a word about it from you guys…

  58. @Rokudaime
    http://utw.me/2012/09/22/accel-world-24-end/
    “I’m hoping to release the OVA sometime this week. The batch might take a while as my medical studies are picking up and there’s also Fate/Zero blurays to work on.”

  59. Video quality and typesetting was great on this, not to mention DAT KARA FX!. I hope you keep em EPs coming quick guys, because I’m gonna archive your releases for Nisemono! Thanks for the awesomeness!

  60. someone on October 4, 2012 at 12:31 am said:

    I hope you finish Nisemono. Unlike the last BD release, the subs for THIS release will be consistent.

  61. diegolg on October 4, 2012 at 1:38 am said:

    Gonna watch this again, now =D
    Thanks UTW!

  62. Cheshire on October 4, 2012 at 2:44 am said:

    Is anyone else having the audio fail to play at all?

  63. @fifthrider What line does it crash on? I had an issue where Media player classic would freeze and required a force shutdown on the line “Am I still the same person you fell in love with or not” Turns out It was a problem with my version of xy-VSFilter, I updated it and the problem went away. Make sure you’re using xy-VSFilter and make sure it’s up to date.

  64. Thanks! (^。^)

  65. This is really good news. Thanks a lot !!!!

  66. Thankyou. I’ve put off watching this when it originally aired, I’ve waited. Waited so long until I completely forgot about it.
    Today is a good day.

  67. Ludovico on October 4, 2012 at 4:45 am said:

    did not like this… anyone care to convince me otherwise?

  68. Me too, I’m trying to hardsub it, and x264 crashes at about 23% (I’ve tried a few times, and updated my x264 too).

  69. First of all, belated thanks for posting about getting xy-VSFilter – that cleared up the problems I was having with media player classic.
    I can’t decide who’s taking more drugs – Shinbou in creating the Nisemonogatari anime or you guys for translating and typesetting every single book title. It was glorious; I hope you can keep this level of quality up throughout the whole series without going crazy.

  70. fifthrider on October 4, 2012 at 11:38 am said:

    @alex – that’s precisely the line! Trouble is, xy-VSFilter is an MPC-only (that is, Windows-only) concern. I probably am going to need a new compile of mplayer2 to fix this, which, given what a pain in the ass it is to compile software on OSX, (dependency hell much?) is probably going to take a while.
    Bizarrely, though, the July cycle of XBMC12 *is* able to play the file, albeit with a framerate hit in the credits. I don’t even…

  71. arigatou on October 4, 2012 at 12:01 pm said:

    Damn it UTW, those karaoke killed my AMD A8 3870K with CCCP on defaults!
    But ther are pretty – well done!
    Installing xy-VSFilter fixed the issue anyway.
    Once again, that OP is really great.
    Thank you

  72. Yeees thank you!

  73. fifthrider on October 4, 2012 at 12:18 pm said:

    Yeah; that about confirms it: newer (standalone) builds of mplayer2 can play it just fine. Here’s praying that Stefano Pigozzi releases another MPlayer OSX Extended-compatible binary package sometime soon, I guess.

  74. Buffaloman on October 4, 2012 at 2:06 pm said:

    THE WAIT IS OVER!!! THAAANKK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!

  75. I really wish I liked this show because that opening you worked on was totally insane ar. Great job 🙂

  76. Mateus on October 4, 2012 at 3:43 pm said:

    The ED typesetting changing colors just like the animation looked pretty cool, thank you for the great release

  77. @foo
    If you copy a recent xy-vsfilter vsfilter.dll to your Avisynth Plugins dir, it should hardsub no problems. The crashes are due to old vsfilter memory cache issues (not freeing memory) which were resolved in xy-vsfilter.

  78. Hope you guys finish this. I’ve been waiting for bd’s and it seems no 1 is even trying to sub this… You have my thanks ;*

  79. @ar Yup, I tried that last night actually and it compressed fine (I left it overnight).

  80. diegolg on October 4, 2012 at 10:46 pm said:

    Holy mother of god, what you did to this OP is absolutely amazing!! Congrats!

  81. @piezo
    Yeah. Basically, import the frame into Corel Photo Paint, create a mask from color range, touch it up to remove credits/particles if necessary, feather it, then save it and import it into Corel Draw. Vector trace it as a binary mask (black/white only) disposing of either the black or white and then smooth the resulting curves and convert. Not all that hard, just time consuming.

  82. Zephiel on October 5, 2012 at 2:41 am said:

    Whelp. it’s been 2 days already.
    Where is my episode 2?

  83. @Zephiel
    Come back in 2-3 weeks and ask >_>
    Fate/Zero BDs come first, and we’ve hardly got any time to get to those.

  84. Harontiar on October 5, 2012 at 4:07 am said:

    OH THANK OYASHIRO-SAMA! IT IS FINALLY HERE! Gundam it! Thank you very much for this release.

  85. Holy crap, vlc got screwed with the OP Q_Q

  86. >2012
    >Still uses VLC to play his media.

  87. Rokudaime on October 5, 2012 at 6:23 pm said:

    @ar
    Any rough idea how long the work on the Fate/Zero BD’s will take? 1 month? 2 months? More?

  88. cking543 on October 5, 2012 at 7:05 pm said:

    hey, sorry to bother you, but i have the xy-vsfilter installed and its been working quite fine for a while but during the OP of this episode everything starts to lag around the time when Senjougahara and the background turn yellow (about 6:35). im not sure why everything just lags but i cant seem to fix it, any advice?

  89. @cking543 I have the same problem o-o but uhh when I tried potplayer it works out fine but still laggy and it crashes midway QQ Must be our shitty computer and or laptop.

  90. @cking543 Did you make sure xy-vsfilter was updated? I had the same problem with an outdated version and the problem went away after updating. Also the 1080p copy would be very hardware intensive especially during the opening, so if you think your hardware may struggle with 1080p content at all, this could be the issue.

  91. @ar
    I noticed at 6:17 the “u” in “you” on the bottom moves to the right. I’m not sure if that is on purpose but i thought i’d mention it in case it was a small mistake.

  92. @anon
    Ta mate. Looks like one of the layers had a lower case whenever, instead of Whenever. That’d explain it.

  93. cking543 on October 6, 2012 at 2:47 am said:

    @Alex, i definitely have an updated version of the filter (i even tried the beta test build) but to no avail. i swear my computer is powerful enough to handle the effects for 1080p

    computer specs^

  94. Yeah it’s nothing to do with your hardware. What set up do you use for your anime software wise?

  95. cking543 on October 6, 2012 at 4:34 am said:

    @Alex, i have LAV filters set up with the xy-vsfilter on, madVR renderer and a few other settings

  96. Sorry then, I have no idea. All I can say is Reinstall all of it, while making sure everything is up to date and hope that that solves your problem. Are you using the full screen exclusive mode of MadVR?

  97. ^ I have the same set up as you with lesser hardware so you shouldn’t be having any issues.

  98. Thanks! (^^)

  99. I’d rather much watch the whole series when the BD subbing is complete, cheers to UTW!

  100. Yaayy…. i’ll see more of Hitagi now. 😀
    Too bad she doesn’t have much of a screen time in this one.
    Also i am hoping that there won’t be a v2 for this since my slow net connection doesn’t exactly give me the luxury of downloading the same episode twice.
    Making sure before downloading this.

  101. kjbmarr on October 11, 2012 at 9:32 pm said:

    thanks for this! hope you finish it.

  102. kjbmarr on October 11, 2012 at 9:45 pm said:

    downloading at 100 Kbps just to have this. hope you add the creditless op/ed

  103. aGuillt on October 19, 2012 at 7:15 pm said:

    Hey AR are you using any other scripts or is it your own?

  104. @aGuillt
    Um. We are using the Crunchyroll scripts as a base for the dialogue, and tlc’ing/editing them. But everything else is our own yes.

  105. Hey it”s been three weeks now. Next episode when any idea?

  106. When Raze has free time to QC. Fate/Zero Season II BDs are higher priority than this, so once we’ve released those we’ll go back to releasing this, unless Raze finds time inbetween to get an episode QCd.

  107. Oh… time isn’t an issue. Fear of you dropping this is. I hope that doesn’t happen 😛

  108. Well as long as you guys are willing to finish this BD batch soon. I’m willing to wait as long as you don’t drop this anime project. Thanks in advance and good luck.

  109. I actually didn’t watch this when it aired when you guys said you’d just do the blu rays. Will be waiting eagerly :'(

  110. Please don’t drop it… I’m still waiting for your releases *thumbs up*

  111. Post-Josh on November 21, 2012 at 10:32 pm said:

    Stop trying to make UTW feel bad, ‘H’ and whomever else. The fact that it probably won’t work aside, they have no reason to feel bad. They are providing us all with a free service, and are entitled to do so at whatever pace is feasible/desirable. UTW clearly stated that the episodes will be released as time permits, so there is no time commitment.
    If you don’t want to wait, the TV version is out there. If you do want to wait, like I do, do so in silence (unless you’re offering words of thanks, or asking about the time frame in a polite manner).

  112. You sir are a gentleman. :> We would like to see if we can release 2-5 or 6 during the xmas break, but no promises because Fate/Zero has to be finished first.

  113. I… didn’t complain? Was saying I’d rather watch their blu rays when they come out than watch it now because I believe I’ll enjoy UTWs release so much more that it’d warrant the wait and that I’ll continue to wait with anticipation. From the first page of comments, I can’t actually see anyone whining or saying anything other showing their thanks, showing their interest in the release or asking a question politely. In doesn’t bother me when they release the next episode or two anyway since I won’t be watching it until they’re all out which will be a long while anyway. However, I understand how you may have misinterpreted my comment and how this may have given you the impression that a larger number of the people posting here may be doing so negatively. Complaining would be retarded anyway, because beside being a free service it also takes up a stupid amount of time along with other projects and if anyone didn’t understand that, they weren’t worth wasting time to tell off anyway.

  114. kjbmarr on December 21, 2012 at 1:17 am said:

    When’ll others come out? I need updates..

    Your karaoke is INSANE. Must have taken hours or days. Can’t wait for more episodes. Your encode is great too.
