We have no plans of picking up any shows for the Spring 2014 anime season (well, apart from Puchimasu, which is basically just Kusion + a QC).
Guess we’ll see you in the summer season. Probably.
It was just announced that Fate/stay night was pushed up and is now starting this Saturday, and the 5 minutes since the announcement was all it took for every single other sub group to announce they would not be touching it in deference to the fact that they could obviously never measure up to the level of awesome UTW could apply to it and trying would only be embarrassing themselves.
HOW ABOUT NOW MOTHAFUCKAS!?
Would also like to know if you’d be willing to look at the Railgun S mini-special…
But otherwise guys, take a break, you deserve it. Come back in the summer with renewed enthusiasm for a fresh batch of anime!
@knorssman
We don’t any plans to do them at the moment. We might do the OVA but definitely not the specials.
@Everyone else
We’ll definitely finish SYD2 before the season is over, hopefully long before then… And this wasn’t a joke we really are taking a season off. We all need a break and some of us have really busy schedules at the moment.
Well guys why are you surprised if things change in people lives? It’s like nobody realizes that not everything can stay the same forever. Raze is really busy these days so it can’t be helped.
I’m happy enough that you sub Puchimas!! XD
IRL stuffs are always changing and more important anyway..
But, please finish SYD Bleep and any Batch/BDs on your ‘UTW Release FAQ’ during this season 🙂
@ar
>Well guys why are you surprised if things change in people lives? It’s like nobody realizes that not everything can stay the same forever.
It’s the prospect of UTW ending its miraculous run that scares most of us. Right now, actually for the last few years, you’ve been the best group in a pile of mediocrity and continued to release top-notch releases. You guys ceasing to sub would not only mean the end of a legendary group, but it would also deal a big blow to fansubbing and the western anime community as a whole.
Your fans aren’t pissed off or angry at you. They’re just… worried.
@Enz
Of course I can understand that mate, but the fact is I guess there’s nothing we can do if that turns out to be the case in the future. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring and as it stands Raze is extremely busy and with his yearly exams coming up he’ll be out of action for most of this season. fotc is on a break, Futsuu is taking somewhat of a break too which means we have no translators that are active.
Depending on how people feel next season after taking a break will determine what happens next. We never know what’s going to happen from season to season and if for some reason we decide to step back indefinitely, we’ll at least look at it and say we had a good run, and hopefully there’ll be others to pick up where we left off.
Heh sometimes I think you guys might be more worried than us.
If UTW does cease to exist, you can at least be sure you are/were the best fansub group out there.
Thanks for all the releases and i wish you all luck for whatever you decide to do next, either real life or not.
Hopefully we’ll all be laughing at this when you guys come back next season =)
Welp. Looking forward to SYD2. I really hope you don’t stall it beyond April. See you in July. Don’t bother coming back for June, though, please, I like Commie’s terms better.
Wow. Not April fools? Lol.
I always look forward to your subs; hopefully you guys can recharge your batteries for next season!
btw: You guys already mentioned that Mirai Fukuin Extra Chorus was practically done. Are you planning to release that in the next couple months?
Well, actually there’s no interesting anime in Spring. But I hope you guys finish what is stalled and come back in Summer and Fall because the most hyped anime are waiting there
@ar
It’s a miracle you guys have lasted 4++ years and are the BEST out there.
Just spend the season finishing what you guys have outstanding and batch stuff. The rest of us doing BDs will want your batch scripts. Thanks in advance for it.
Just going to give my thanks for a wonderful run of great releases, and also to say that I can (all to well) understand exam pressures. For everyone else in UTW, a more than deserved break is hardly something we can complain about.
My fingers are crossed that you do finish SSY at some point (who doesn’t like the best subbers to do the best anime?) and maybe the F/SN remake, but whether you get round to those or not, thanks!
>That’s how Ryuumaru started. Just saying.
Also Comfag is a notoriously lazy motherfucker who never did anything until the cycle of procrastination came full circle.
Well, does this mean that I can at least count on you guys to release Extra Chorus sometime in the foreseeable future? Also, I sure hope you guys will still be around to eventually sub the new FSN sometime after that comes out (I’ll be waiting for BD’s as usual, so I don’t need fast Tv releases or anything), otherwise I’m going to be mortified…
So just want to confirm for sure, this post was not an April Fool’s joke and you guys were dead serious about not picking up any Spring 2014 shows, right?
Just want an actual, legit confirmation so my curiosity may be quelled and I don’t have to keep checking on the website several times a day for potential updates lol.
Yes worried indeed as UTW is literally the pinnacle of quality releases. A season without any quality releases, it is like having spring without the flowers.
Woa, in the last April’s fools you said something about stop fansubing, and it was a joke (that you guys said had a lot of truth) and this April’s fools you are really taking a break! This timing really is something else.
Well, like I said in some post when Kusion announced his retiring, your real life takes priority, always! You should live your real life first and solve your problems, just after that you should fansub!
Fansubing is a hobby, maybe a style of life to some – and maybe the reason to live to others – but you have a real ife, and you should give it priority when it requires priority!
You guys made a great job fansubing anime!!
UTW ceasing to sub would be like your girlfriend leaving you because you cheated on her. And at first you maybe wouldn’t care and continue to do the cute blonde, but after some time you’d begin to feel empty and eventually realize that letting her go was the biggest mistake of your life. You’d remember the good times you had; how much effort and love she’d invest in your relationship and how you would take it for granted, thinking those blissful days would never end…
Dammit, I like you guys way too much (‘xcept Xythar; he’s kind of stupid ~.~). <3
Hopefully this is a April Fool ;(
Har har har
SAO II?
Let’s see how many people bite.
It was just announced that Fate/stay night was pushed up and is now starting this Saturday, and the 5 minutes since the announcement was all it took for every single other sub group to announce they would not be touching it in deference to the fact that they could obviously never measure up to the level of awesome UTW could apply to it and trying would only be embarrassing themselves.
HOW ABOUT NOW MOTHAFUCKAS!?
This would seriously crack me up. I swear.
What a simple, yet elaborate ruse.
so… no project ?
doing some OVA , Movie or BD….
Hopefully we get the missing SYD*s by the end of spring. Besides that, I’m okay with this.
Just keep on working on rest of SYD* till summer and I’ll be happy.
/least effort April fool’s
Should be releasing a ‘ Fools in April ‘ soon™ to you all…! ( ¬‿¬)
The best April fools is when it turns out to be true. Make it happen, UTW. The butthurt will be more entertaining than any anime.
will you do persona 3?
@XerBlade: I like your comeback. 😀
As long as you guys sub FS/N this year, I could live without any other sub by you.
April fools?
Requiescat in pace UTW!… U_U
Are you Going to release
Railgun S OVA
Oh noes such tragedy!!!
Hey Raze, what wappened to UFW?
Thank goodness! It always takes ages to scroll past that UTW nonsense on Nyaatorrents when looking for good subs.
much regret
You guys are such jokesters lol
Is it true that Ufotable are doing a remake of Fate/Stay Night later this year? I figured if anyone can confirm this, it’d be you guys at UTW.
Да вы у Рея Уильяма Джонсона подсосали :3
Vladimir, I hope you read this.
@JayHD: They are indeed. here’s a link: http://myanimelist.net/anime/22297/
Would also like to know if you’d be willing to look at the Railgun S mini-special…
But otherwise guys, take a break, you deserve it. Come back in the summer with renewed enthusiasm for a fresh batch of anime!
fooru dai!!!!
Pick up Fairy Tail? 😀
on a serious note, do you guys plan to do a release of the Railgun S OVA and the BD with the specials?
Inb4 this is a serious post and they actually won’t sub anything other than Puchimas. Have fun!
hmm.. (¬‿¬)
(¬‿¬) …indeed

then why post on april 1
Because the new season is starting in a few days? Not our fault if it happens to land on April 1.
Good Luck then
see you in summer 🙂
Does that mean we’ll get Nise and SSY BDs, ar-chan?
@Phukkitt: Nikon joined the Air Force is what happened, more or less.
Welp, see you in summer then.
RIP in peace 🙁
ARRGGHH!! seriously?
Better be back in summer for 2wei, especially if they go the Niconico pre-air route again.
No Madoka movie I assume? The BD just came out today.
No UTW this season? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LOL, I hope you’ll do MKnR
maa…ikka :v
@Enz
It does not. Nise is stalled at that guy who has no free time, and SSY is stalled at that guy who had exams and plays too much Kancolle.
sorry but could i inquire but will seitokai yakuindomo be subbed finish ?
You could read comments
=(
That’s how Ryuumaru started. Just saying.
Thanks, Lom. Now I’m worried.
But but, Shinsekai Yori!! WHERE!!! AUGH!
Well its not like it any surprise with all the slacking last season. Lost some of my faith in this grp.
Well guys why are you surprised if things change in people lives? It’s like nobody realizes that not everything can stay the same forever. Raze is really busy these days so it can’t be helped.
Puchimas!! is enough for me, Thanks UTW! You guys deserve a little break
Looking forward to F/SN this fall! Hope you guys find some time during Spring Season to get Kara no Kyoukai: Extra Chorus out =]
I’m happy enough that you sub Puchimas!! XD
IRL stuffs are always changing and more important anyway..
But, please finish SYD Bleep and any Batch/BDs on your ‘UTW Release FAQ’ during this season 🙂
No spring release?
Take one, please. This one:

@Spring of Joy
What’s so hard to understand about > We aren’t subbing anything this season. If we were able to we clearly would

did you gonna subs Neptune OVA?
sub Captain Earth 🙂
I’m in despairs! This news has left me in despair!
Wow. Not April fools? Lol.
I always look forward to your subs; hopefully you guys can recharge your batteries for next season!

If nobodty picks it up maybe consider subbing Akuma no riddle? since it looks pretty good.
I dunno this is april fools’ joke or not, but i just hope you sub Fate/Stay Night remake this fall..
We don’t care about this spring, now you have time to sub Extra Chorus..
@ar
It’s a miracle you guys have lasted 4++ years and are the BEST out there.
Just spend the season finishing what you guys have outstanding and batch stuff. The rest of us doing BDs will want your batch scripts. Thanks in advance for it.
yessh better take a break guys, since summer probably gonna be busy season. and it usually does, kokoko
..
Somehow many people think that UTW is going to stop subbing when it’s only a season break due to IRL stuffs… :v
Agree with mianghuei, I hope this season break will be spent by doing batch stuff. =D
Thanks and see you at Summer~
This season will probably be spent doing nothing because the person who is responsible for the stuff being delayed is too busy to fansub.
Just going to give my thanks for a wonderful run of great releases, and also to say that I can (all to well) understand exam pressures. For everyone else in UTW, a more than deserved break is hardly something we can complain about.

you still plan to finish SYD?
Are you guys still going to sub “Kara no Kyoukai: Mirai Fukuin – Extra Chorus”?
http://www.firegoon.com/u/gqvmuu.jpg
That…
http://arinashi.com/img/5n9zscjw.jpg
Well, does this mean that I can at least count on you guys to release Extra Chorus sometime in the foreseeable future?

Take a well deserved break, guys. Hopefully, you’ll be all back for the new FSN this fall. UTW and the Fate series are two birds of the same feather.
RIP in peace SYD Bleep
UTW, your dead to me. lol!
Time to fill in the gap elsewhere.
Have fun with crunchyroll.
It’s cool. I still love you all for what you’ve done. 🙂
So just want to confirm for sure, this post was not an April Fool’s joke and you guys were dead serious about not picking up any Spring 2014 shows, right?
Just want an actual, legit confirmation so my curiosity may be quelled and I don’t have to keep checking on the website several times a day for potential updates lol.
@Twitchy
I’ve confirmed multiple times but yes it was not an April Fool’s joke.
So you’re doing the 3rd Madoka movie?
You should pick up Atelier.
Yes worried indeed as UTW is literally the pinnacle of quality releases. A season without any quality releases, it is like having spring without the flowers.
@zeroibis
That was beautifully said. And so very true.
I wonder what are your reasons for not picking an anime this season ?
@Reason
Read the comments. ar already explained why.
/go learning more Japanese while enjoying other fansub groups’ free stuffs
Woa, in the last April’s fools you said something about stop fansubing, and it was a joke (that you guys said had a lot of truth) and this April’s fools you are really taking a break! This timing really is something else.
Well, like I said in some post when Kusion announced his retiring, your real life takes priority, always! You should live your real life first and solve your problems, just after that you should fansub!
Fansubing is a hobby, maybe a style of life to some – and maybe the reason to live to others – but you have a real ife, and you should give it priority when it requires priority!
You guys made a great job fansubing anime!!
Thanks for the kind words guys~
Umm…
Is there any status on when you will be finishing Seitokai Yakuindomo*?
This is the wrong post to comment about it in but see -> http://utw.me/2014/03/26/seitokai-yakuindomo-bleep-10/comment-page-1/#comment-69455
hmmm… ok a little break is fine but dont fall into break of abyss just like ryuumaru
(probably summer) OMG!
UTW ceasing to sub would be like your girlfriend leaving you because you cheated on her. And at first you maybe wouldn’t care and continue to do the cute blonde, but after some time you’d begin to feel empty and eventually realize that letting her go was the biggest mistake of your life.

Dammit, I like you guys way too much (‘xcept Xythar; he’s kind of stupid ~.~). <3
just release knk extra chorus already.
Best time to finish off nisemono
Well, 2wei is airing in summer so yeah, it be nice if you could at least sub that in summer.
Do you plan to do it for Sword Art Online II In Summer 2014?
No we aren’t subbing it. Bug FFF they should be.
