Hello again! Hopefully this is the last time I’ll have to update this post. A lot of previous questions have been answered in the comments section. If you have any other questions (any new ones, at least), feel free to ask.
Please also refer to our FAQ sidebar for information on other shows. This post is supposed to be for the projects I’m stalling.
How’s Madoka going?
Madoka will be released later next week. No later than Christmas. Rejoice!
Will we see Tamayura?
Not until 2013. Hopefully by spring. fotc will be assisting with the translation of some episodes, so it should speed up the process.
Any leaks for next season?
The most I can leak is that I have absolutely no plans of doing Puchimasu! This may or may not change. We’ll be releasing our plans later in the month.
Damn.
Please drop C3 and make Index BD’s ;)))
I think people forget that this is an entirely volunteer work. Fansubbing is a thankless job with no pay or compensation other than satisfaction of helping other fans. These people do not have to spend hours working on the translations for us, they do it because they are awesome. It should be understandable if they cannot maintain some deadlines.
At the same time though, if UTW says they are going to finish something in a certain length of time, I think they should be obligated to follow those deadlines. Instead, I think setting approximate timeframes of when a project would be done would be better than set deadlines.
Thank you, as always, UTW.
Kusion man! Long time no see! What about the Misaka’s posts? This is being a great season with Accel World and Sword Art Online. I’m not watching Imouto cause censoring is meh!
Also Madoka? Do we have Madoka?
no worries mang, just release things when theyre done š also thanks as always. (updates like these are really appreciated though.)
@EcchiSkecchi
I haven’t written a Misaka post in so long. I can’t think of what else to blog about. I’ll definitely have to think of something sooner or later.
Madoka is listed under Meguca. Maybe I should fix this for clarification.
My surprise is that we actually (will) have Madoka. I think something was said but I completely forgot.
WE DUN CARE HOW LONG IT TAKES THX
Ill pay u 200k gold on diablo 3 š (im a poor dh there lols)
after more than 1year, we get madoka. There is still the movies atleast.
I totally agree with neobowman. Fansubbers are doing this out of the kindness of their heart, they are NOT obligated to submit to our demands if they deemed a project unachievable. Remember, these people have their own life to worry about, and we should appreciate the fact that they are taking time out of their (I’m sure busy) schedule to fansub for us.
And being one of the better quality subs in the internet, we should cut them some slack. C’mon guys.
Kusion, dont worry if you are late, as long as you can keep us updated in that you cant finish something, we will wait for you. We don’t deserve anything from you, and you deserve all our thanks for dedicating some of your free time to fansubbing. I really thnk you for making such a long post for explaining things, when other groups could simply drop a project without notice and never mention it again. Best luck with whatever game you are trying to finish at the moment, and see you in the next Misaka post.
What about SAO?
DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE RELEASING THINGS LATE OR ANYTHING, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND WILLINGNESS TO SPEND TIME TO DO THESE TRANSLATING AND EDITING. I’m a patient guy, and stuff that UTW releases are quality stuff, so no complaints about delayed stuff or dropped stuff. Continue the hard work guys, and thanks for all the anime’s you released.
Look, you guys are great. I always pick UTW when choosing fansubs. Heck, I watched C3 because UTW was the the subber.
Honestly, I don’t really care how long it takes, I’ll wait for your releases. You’re the ones doing the work and I’m not paying you for any of it so it’s your call. I’m grateful that you even keep us updated on what you guys are up to.
Iām waiting for you to release Hidan no Aria 10 in [gg]. Will you be working on these too?
@Marty
I’m not involved with SAO.
@UnLucky
Eventually. That’s at the very bottom of my list. I’m not too sure if we even have the encodes lying around.
Am I partially to blame for you being behind on things since I drag you into vent and make you play games with us?
These things can take time, especially batches so its completely understandable. I agree with EcchiSkecchi though, the Misaka blog posts were great and just hilarious in general. Would be cool to see more things like that in the future if you get creative/bored.
What about Amagami SS+ Blu-ray? I knew you guys weren’t planning to works on them, but would you at least reconsider it again? Cause I’m pretty sure no one (Fansubs or whatever) works on the blu-ray episodes (‘cept the specials) yet. š
Glad to see that you’re still alive. š Fingers crossed that you manage to get through your backlog.
personally i would like
imas > another 00 > madoka > c3 > everything else
Gotta be careful with biting off more than you can chew… Bit late for that I suppose considering your stalled project list (waitin on that Quon 6)
Best of luck getting on top of things man.
What’s a “Kusion”? Is it food? Does it go well with Orange Jam?
(Felt the need to say it for the lolz. Pay no heed to it haha)
although at rare times utw have a slow release at least they are always accurate with there subbing which is what I have always favoured these guys for so im happy for waiting, want to rush a series can always just download somewhere else and have either lower quality or just playing shitty subs from some random troll sub group
@Koizumi’s Pimp Hand
No.
@Souji Tendou
Blu-rays are a bit too much effort to go through and complete. Especially with our record of blu-ray releases.
@f
iM@S is being worked on (hopefully), and I handed Another 00 to Daiz a while back.
@Tysonblast
I think, due to my lack of activity, they found someone else who would time it.
No matter how long it takes …. I’am sticking with UTW (^_^)
and Kudos for doing what you do
I’m drunk as hell right now and I honestly don’t give a fuck. Don’t worry about laziness; I’m about as lazy as they come since I’m an unemployed college student that basically eats, sleeps, watches anime, and browses 4chan. If I could help you I would, but my 2 semesters worth of Japanese is probably pretty much useless. Like others on here I’m just happy to see the releases come out whenever they come out. As you’ve pointed out, there are plenty of alternatives for the impatient. Thanks for your hard work!
Whoa Whoa Whoa..Hold the phone.
You were doing Madoka Magica?
Since when!?
But, seriously…take your time. Don’t rush things. Quality over quantity and what not. Plus, you have lives to attend to as well. So don’t worry. We’re a pretty patient bunch here.
How is the Tasogare Otome coming along with Underwater?
Thank you for your hard work !
BTW, is it okay to use your subs, make a lil QC and release a bluray myself?
Frankly, I’m fine with waiting as long as I get an explanation.
When I’m have no idea why I’m waiting for things is when I start getting impatient. So yeah, this post makes me happy.
It’s always a lot easier to wait for something when you have at least a vague idea of “where it is/what’s going on/did you drop this?” so thanks for taking a moment to let us know what’s up. It helps.
You bet i will wait for your releases. First fansub group i have ever run into on the net is UTW and im sticking here from your first releases. Srsly, i love you. Go and have your cookies <3
tamayura > errything else amirite
I think yukimichi above said it best. Thanks to all of you for donating your time, effort and sleepless nights to keeping our poor, sorry sods addiction to high quality anime subs fed and nurtured.
How many different groups are you a part of anyway Kusion? ; )
Wait, what? Since when were UTW working on Madoka?
Oh well, that gives me something to look forward to at least.
Good luck with the backlog.
What?! Index BDs dropped?!
Someone find kusion a editor and QCer so that ar’s encodes aren’t gone to waste!
Don’t beat yourself up over this Kusion. It’s not like anyone here is here because they hate you. We’ll be grateful when you get this stuff finished ofc, but we understand things come up, ya?
Also Diablo III was a pretty huge disappointment…
thanks
Again we’re reminded how much work goes into fansubbing, especially with the amount of series UTW takes. Thanks for your time and effort, Kusion! You guys rock!
Are you guys going to continue with the Amagami SS+ specials?
Yes, I want to kill you because you’re causing gg to dropped Ice Cream.
(ļ¾ `ŠĀ“)ļ¾ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ā»āā»))āŠļ¾)ļ½„āµ
What about the Amagami SS+ batch?
Amagami SS+ batch was released ages ago.
I don’t give two shits about Madoka, anyways.
You guys are Unlimited motherfucking Translation Works, try to live up to your name and release that Carnival Phantasm batch already. Also, you should release your own Kara no Kyoukai version.
Your whole life was Unlimited Delay Works.
@it can’t be helped
Most of us have jobs, deal with it.
Oh, I must have missed that.
While on the topic of Carnival Phantasm, was there ever a NCOP?
Hey ! why don’t you drop others C3 and make index II ..
What about the Ano Hana batch?
I hate you because Hyouka.
I really hate you.
are there any plans for fate zero s2 bd?
@oasis789:
Yes. See the sidebarā
Med school and council work is sapping away practically any free time that Raze has, so progress on this has been slow. He will do his best to get them out as soon as possible.
Aww… I was waiting for Index II BDs… Even though I knew about the UTW Release FAQ news a couple of months ago… But I always thought it was just delayed… š
I was waiting for better translations to come out for the Blu-Ray version… TT~TT
Oh well, it’s nice to see you alive and kicking, Kusion! =D
@Linkmstr:
Yeah, I’m sorry for that, but 25 episodes completely re-edited takes a lot of time and effort.
Welp.
So when can we be expecting the Madoka Magica BDs”?
@Kusion:
I know… You all are fansubbing during ur free time so no biggie š
Railgun “:himitsu:”, huh? I say there’s a high chance of u guys doing Railgun S w/ Mazui just like with Index II and Railgun OVA. š
We can only wait and see…
So I’m guessing asking question such as wondering if you’re going to do SAO BD or not would be considered a leak?
NISEMONO BLURAYS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is Daiz still alive and fansubbing or did he really finally kick the can.
@Danuchiha99:
I’d say anywhere between two and three weeks. There is a possibility of it being done sooner, but we’ll see how things go.
@Linkmstr:
Should be fun to see.
@Solaristics:
We’ll leave SAO blu-rays at “maybe” for now. There will be an announcement at the end (or near the end) of the series confirming this or not.
@NISEMONO!!!!!!!!!!:
Nisemono blu-rays are being actively worked on by 8thSin and __ar. I cannot comment on when they will be finished, but there is something happening with them.
Can I have my bitch, Kusion back?
@revoltech:
Daiz is still alive and kicking, but I cannot comment on what he is working on/planning. You’ll just have to wait and see.
@Dao:
Yes. Take me.
Flash v Naniwa BO7 best pvt games i ever seen š
@boom:
Naniwa has improved so much and played so well during all those games. Flash is just a god though.
Any update on the Fate/zero S2 blu-rays? Any kind of info would be awesome, I realize you guys are busy,
@Kusion:
Yes, it will be fun to see… š
We need to see more Biribiri/Shocker/Sparky!!!
I have to wonder about the AnoHana BD FAQ answer. The answer makes it seem impossible, but the fact that it’s there at all contradicts that. Do you have any input on this?
@barnes:
There has been progress, but the series is not complete. I cannot comment on when it will be complete, but it should be soon.
@HeavenlyArmed:
The AnoHana blu-rays will not be worked on, due to the turtle-like speeds that the batch is taking. When Moshi has a chance to work on the batch, that will be all that is released.
This is another matter of “this is taking too long, it’s not worth the effort anymore.” My apologies.
@Linkmstr:
With the story actually following the manga!
Hey there. You are doing like 3 shows per season lately, right? Little busters and shin sekai yori will have 24 episodes each (I think), so they will go on during the winter season. Does that mean you’ll be picking only one more show in the winter season? Any ideas yet?
@diegolg:
Considering how small UTW is, we might choose one show to work on. This depends on the staff available on said day and time. This also depends on whether or not we accept a joint.
Unfortunately, I can’t answer your question in full detail yet, as we have no dates or times for shows!
Thanks, Kusion. You guys have been my favorite sub group for a few years, and I hope you guys keep doing what you’re doing.
@barnes:
We definitely will, and we hope you stick by alongside us for the ride!
How about this for starters: what Hyouka shirt by gg?
@Kusion:
ikr? Biribiri vs. Accelerator! *w*
I wonder if they’ll reanimate the scene where Touma vs. Accelerator… But this time a lot more bloodier unlike Index I… >.>;
@Jumendez:
It’s a T-shirt for all the people who hate me after dropping Hyouka. It’s just a picture of me giving a thumbs up with a big “fuck you” smile.
FUCK YEAH FLASH.
Autistic cheesing phaggot naniwa getting a taste of his own medicine.
@Kusion:
Did you really hate that show or was there a different reason you dropped it?
@Jumendez:
I didn’t want to work on it anymore. Wasn’t what I expected, and was very boring to do. That’s about it.
Slightly odd question – do you guys have any plans to phase out XviD for your SD encodes (in favour of h264)? The performance penalty (playback) should be relatively minor at 480p, but a h264 encode can lead to smaller file size (which is the whole point of SD encodes)?
@Kusion:
I guess I can respect that, I liked the show myself but I heard many people got bored of it. I guess it helped that I had no real expectations of the show. What’d you expect from it?
@Kusion
Thanks! Just curious, because I usually watch all your shows, and was digging the winter season today. I was hoping you pick one more, too.
Are plans still in the works for the Fate/Zero CD Dramas from the Blu-ray sets (and possibly magazines), be they as normal subbed audio files or with still images attached?
@palladium:
This is something I’ll have to ask our encoder, __ar. I’ll try to get in contact with him to answer this.
@Jumendez:
K-On!! with books.
@Kusion
THORA have Anohana listed as a future project, I thought that was going to be a Joint with you you guys? Or am I mistaken?
@GDB:
As far as I know (I’m not involved at all with F/Z stuff, unfortunately), there are plans to complete them, but at a slower pace.
@Alex:
Honestly, I don’t recall this being the case.
This is quite far in advance in terms of you knowing an answer, but I’m interested in the prospect of a UTW subbed EVA 3.0/Q once the Blu-Ray RAW’s are added to Nyaa.
Any plans for the Tasogare Otome x Amnesia Special/OVA that comes out at the end of the month? Previous status was “Most likely”.
will UTW do Amagami SS+ Special 1-7, Accel World SP, and Dusk Maiden’s OVA like jayc said? thanks
Allow me to clarify the statuses of certain projects.
Fate/Zero BDs
I’ll be very honest here: medical school is no walk in the park and I doubt I’ll have the time to make any real progress on it until Christmas break. Chances of it coming out before that is extremely low.
Nisemonogatari BDs
These are coming along, but very slowly. Episode 2 is stalled @ me, but __ar and 8thsin are slowly getting through the other episodes.
Anohana Batch/BDs
Anohana BDs may be a possibility. After Moshi had stalled the batch for a while, 8thsin generously donated his time to give all 11 episodes a TLC run, but it’s been practically a year since then and neither Moshi nor I have had the time to go through them. Along came THORA’s offer to do the Blurays with our scripts, so we’ve sent THORA the TLC’d scripts a few months ago, but I guess it’s somehow stalled on their end too.
Perhaps I’ll release the Anohana batch sometime with 8thsin’s TLC applied. It’s pretty low on my priority list, however.
I was probably secluded away in a cave somewhere when it was announced (if ever). But curious as to where the Carnival Phantasm batches are? Or are the individual files all good by themselves?
…Yeah… My only question thus far.
Daiz is a faggot.
Thank you for your work as always. Is there any chance that you will be picking up the 3 IDOLM@STER Shiny Festa episodes?
I’ll like to take this chance to thanks UTW for all their quality work so far!
What about Carnival Phantasm batch?
Any plan on Kizumonogatari?
Flash or Life?
clearly the most important question here.
What about Fate/Zero BD’s?
^
Ops! Ignore my above comment! just realized Raze already answered in the comments. ^^’ I’m also curious about the Carnival Phantasm batch though. That said, I watched the individual downloads, and they were excellent imo, so no biggie.
Do you guys plan on doing the SeiZon s2 blu-rays when it comes out?
I love UTW for doing Madoka. Thank you guys so much and keep up the good work.
Are you guys doing the Idolmaster Shiny Festa OVAs?
į(ą² ēą² į) Y U NO ANSWER ABOUT AMAGAMI SPECIALS?
@H_B
Cause they were shit and we have neither plans to do them, nor want to remember that they made them.
So what’s left in the Madoka process, is it just the editing portion?
Hello again.
@5ushi:
The Carnival Phantasm batch has been stalled for some time, but the individual episodes should be fine (unless you’ll be offended by lyrics changing suddenly). As by Raze:
[Raze] yeah, that got stalled for a year lol
[Raze] technically the individual eps are fine
[Raze] i think there’s a new CP ep coming this december
[Raze] or two
[Raze] so if we’re batching it we’d wait until after that anyway
@kiriha:
There’s a slight chance. The biggest issue is video quality, which is highly lacking (seeing as how it is on a PSP). I’ll still probably translate them and post up whatever I can afterwardsm, video or not.
@anonymous:
See above.
@noonoonoo:
Maybe.
@Aurora:
Flash, clearly. It’s a shame he lost, but Life is a great player.
@GinKage:
This has been answered before.
@Rokudaime:
See above.
@Almond:
This depends a lot on what __ar thinks of the show and his freetime.
@dmr:
Maybe. See above.
@Danuchiha99:
Just editing and final QC, as well as whatever touch-ups we need to perform after QC.
C’mon, Kusion. We all know BoxeR is the best SC player of all history.
New Carnival Phantasm ep(s) coming this december? š Great! But where did you hear that?!
It’s all about iNcontroL.
Everyone knows he’s the best SC2 player of all time.
@ar:
Sucks. Well, good thing i didn’t try to be patient and wait for it for a year. But PLEASE do tell that from the start next time. It’ll be much appreciated.
i read the FAQs about fate/zero s2 BD work is getting done, i’m just wondering if you guys have any idea what “as soon as possible” may refer to (days, weeks or more) xD and of course it’s not that i can’t wait, i really appreciate your work as everyone, i ask just to have an idea on how much i will have to wait haha š
ar: any plans to ditch xvid for sd encodes?
Why UTW is still using 10bit encode which can be played only on PC (no love for tablets, mobile phones, media centers and so on)
@Sterlaz
Either download XviD’s if they are available (we try to make them available for this listed purposes) and if not learn to re-encode yourself. We do not support phones/plastic toys/etc because it would require more time than it currently takes to do stuff, and time costs money, etc.
@palladium
As long as there are people who refuse to upgrade to newer devices that support H.264 unfortunately you’re stuck with XviDs. There’s really no point making a compatibility release if there’s still a bunch of people for which it is incompatible for.
@anonymous
Actually the new Carnival Phantasm episode is coming mid-January we believe. It’ll be included with the Type Moon Festival Blu-ray Boxset, of which I’ll probably have to buy myself so we have a source for it. Its runtime looks to be around 26mins long.
Will you guys be doing SD encodes for Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai? Or would it be done in batch?
Thanks.
NO.
Why not? You guys are doing SD encodes for all the others this season..
Because the encoder doesn’t want to do them.
I see, oh well..
Thank you for everything. You guys are doing great, keep it up!
Actually I just want F/Z BD S2 and Amagami SS+.. I have waited for these for a long long time because I have downloaded your FSN-UBW , Carnival_Phantasm & Amagami SS , including its Short_Animations before,,
in a word , start well and end well
I appreciated your works and look forward to your incomplete plans but not any words like “as soon as possible”
Will you be doing the SAO extras and/or the BD?
@yuanyaozi
We aren’t doing Amagami SS+ bds.
Kyoko or Kyouko?
@Kuriko
They are the same thing. Who cares. But probably Kyouko since we tend to leave in long vowels for anything that’s not GOSICK.
Oh, I was just wondering if you would use Kyoko since her name is spelled that way in official materials (runes, Aniplex’s English translation).
Ah hmm, I guess in that case it might be good to use Kyoko. Will speak to the guys about it. It doesn’t really bother me either way I guess, but I do prefer Kyoko personally.
Awesome so we should be seeing Fate/Zero S2 BDs and Madoka Magica BDs next week (hopefully)…
And next season you guys should do just Nekomonogatari (Black) and Sasami-san@ganbaranai?
Sorry for double comment but also Tamako Market with a joint of URW… Because the Chunnibyou release was awesome…
Is C3 OVA still stalled at Daiz? D:
Some people asked about the Tasogare Otome x Amnesia OVA but i didnt see an answer to it. Can you please write if you will work on it?
Thank you
@wat
Well, let’s hope the fact that the part about C3 OVA dissapeared means that it’s finally in the works, and not silently dropped.
@GrandMaster_JAX
Interested as well, no info since the “most likely” in the batch release post.
So the Fate/Zero S2 BDs will be out next week? Is that early or late next week? I ask because I’m going on vacation the 20th and wanted to let the download cook while I’m away.
Status on Accel World batch? Status on iDOLM@STER batch?
@Sketch14
They won’t be done until after New Years sometime, so early – mid Jan, maybe.
Will you guys be doing Dusk Maiden OVA?
Kusion, are you guys still thinking of doing shiny festa, and /if/ you did the puchimas, even if it’s /everyday/ releases (that’d be a pain in the ass, even if it’s only 3-5 minutes) would you do something like everyday releases or like a weekly release of 5 episodes? just a suggestion.
C3 special where?
+1 for the Tasogare thing. Would be great if you guys could sub that last episode.
@wat, @H_B, @archdeco:
C3 OVA should (hopefully) be released next week.
@noko:
iDOLM@STER batch should come early 2013.
@Kitty:
It’s still a “maybe” project. The source is very low and not really worth the effort of subbing it. If it’s ever released in a separate DVD or BD, it’ll definitely be subbed. For right now, it’s a huge maybe.
As for Puchimasu!, if we did work on it, we would release it every day. It’s less effort to do that than to prepare every episode for a week-end release.
I’m waiting for more Nisemonogatari release.
Will you guys be doing Dusk Maiden OVA (13ep)?
+1 for tasogare will you do the ep13′ (OVA)? i dont watch it with “other” subs
Are you planing Tosogare 13 and Tosogare 12 Directors cut? (http://commiesubs.com/tasogare-12-director-tasogare-13/)?
Also what about Nekomonogatari? Should be out around 31.12., so subtitles about week later would make very nice new year present. š
Gotta ask has Appleseed XIII been canceled?
Sorry to be blunt but it been over a year since you guys did the 3rd episode.
@Valk
Yeah it’s pretty much dropped. We don’t have Blu-rays of the last 4 or so eps and nobody is interested in working on it anymore.
No later than New Year’s, right?
@Anonymous:
Christmas is celebrated on different dates in different countries. Wait for January 19 š
