The baseball episode as previewed.
I wrote a long background introduction on Japanese high school baseball, so I’m gonna recycle it here for a really long TL note.
[spoiler]National High School Baseball Championship in Japan, or simply Koushien, is held every spring and summer. Thousands of high school baseball teams throughout Japan compete to become the champions in their own prefectures first (Hokkaido and Tokyo get two seeds), in order to get a spot in the national championship tournament played in the Hanshin Koushien Stadium.
To be able to participate (and win) in Koushien is every boy’s dream, and it is undeniably the most prominent school tournament in Japan given the popularity of baseball, especially since many players graduate and sign with professional teams without playing in college.
The summer tournament is especially competitive (spring tournament is invitational, with highest seeds), and national TV broadcasts for the finals often garner viewership ratings rivaling that of professional baseball playoff broadcasts.[/spoiler]
The title of this episode, That Summer’s Twenty-One Pitches, is a reference to a non-fiction novel Enatsu’s ‘s Twenty-One Pitches. “Natsu” is the kanji for “Summer”.
The novel was about the seventh game in the 1979 Japanese baseball playoffs final’s last game. A legendary match where the relief pitcher Enatsu Yutaka held off the opposing team after allowing a no-outs, bases-loaded situation in 21 pitches at the bottom of the ninth inning.
Well, enough TL notes. Makoto’s and Erio’s team finally play against the hopeless match where they face off a semi-pro pitcher from their school, with the right to host the summer festival at stake. Watch for Maekawa-san’s obligatory cosplay, Ryuushi-san being all moe, and Meme-san’s boobies bouncing.
Enjoy Denpa Girl and Seishun Boy Ep12 NEET Girl and Gardening Boy Ep09.

We promised you faster, and this week, we didn’t deliver! Thanks to RL stuff and inefficient utilization of the jet stream, we managed to increase downtime by 180%!
More Thai girl, cute Alice, and Yakuza this week. The conclusion of another case!

Hello everyone, I have recently joined this group as a translator, and my first project will be Kamisama no Memochou. This first episode turned out to be extremely enjoyable for me, since it’s like modern Gosick without deus ex machina solutions. Please enjoy!
This is my very first release post, so I thought I should take this opportunity to make a proper introduction.
[spoiler]I have been a fansubber since 2005, starting with Japanese live-action drama and moving on to movies. Anime has been my obsession for the past 2 years, and I have been translating 2D-video since last winter. I tend to have a mainstream taste, but I’m not afraid to speak out against the majority. You may have already read some of my film and anime reviews, and I know I come across very opinionated at times… I’m very passionate about anime and Japanese movies. I can be very outspoken about fansubbing too, but I will try my best not to stir up any drama with UTW 🙂
Somewhat “serious” or “sentimental” series usually get my attention. It’s probably why I really loved KamiMemo’s first episode, because it’s very much about the people as the case itself. You can expect to see me picking more series like it in the future if I can continue to translate many more series here. I am usually extremely picky when it comes to selecting which series to translate, but I definitely will finish what I have started (unless it’s agreed in advance that I would only translate a few episodes). So far, I have a perfect track record for completion of series, and I intend to extend that streak here in this group.[/spoiler]
As some of you may have already noticed, I was the translator who “dropped” this series with gg fansubs. While the statement on that gg post was entirely correct, there is a really long and messy story behind it, and I want to clarify a few things.
[spoiler]I had originally proposed working on KamiMemo with UTW before gg, prior to taking the TL test, but certain turn of events led to it being released with gg. However, CR licensing had taken every show I was interested in, so I had to ask koda at gg to let me translate KamiMemo with UTW instead. Props to koda for putting up with my selfish requests, and assigning me to another great series this season!
Long story short, there was a typical fansub coordination nightmare at the beginning of the season, and I somehow ended up with two shows I really love for groups that I originally wanted to work with… because I’m lucky like that.
I also want to make a statement that all the shortcomings in gg fansub’s first KamiMemo release were completely my fault and mine alone. I underestimated speedsubbing by working under far-less-than-optimal physical conditions, and made miscommunications that led to it being released without editing. Needless to say, it will never happen again, especially with a group with such high standards as UTW, and I will do my best to produce the quality of translations expected from me.[/spoiler]
I have been around here only for a brief period, but the staff and posters here at UTW seem very friendly, and I hope this will be the beginning of a long-lasting relationship.
So as I pray, Unlimited Translation Works!
