And that’s release No. 3 for today (and we’re early this week to boot)! Talk about a “productive” Sunday morning.
Nothing I can say about this episode without spoiling it, so I’ll simply leave you guys to enjoy this week’s episode of SAO.

Nice and fast this week, though we would’ve been slightly faster if I hadn’t stupidly wasted about 30 minutes of my time QCing the timed script after a TLC/edit pass.
As for the show, I’m really liking it. Can’t wait for next week already.

Here’s our first offering for the Fall 2012 season!
Thanks go to lygerzero0zero of Evetaku Fansubs for graciously assisting us with the translations of terminology in this series. fnord also deserves special mention for spending hours on end working on this episode and pulling the team together.
With any luck, we should be back to a speedsub schedule with this show next week (assuming Crunchyroll isn’t simulcasting with the CS-Asahi airing).
EDIT: It seems people are wondering about our translation for “Cantus”, so I figured I’d give a brief explanation of the term.
The original Japanese for Cantus is 呪力, literally “incantation/spell power”, and is the psychokinetic/magic power the people in this world use. Our translation for the term is derived from the incantation part of the word (interestingly, while 呪 can mean “curse”, it would be wrong here because the power isn’t a curse/bad thing, nor does it curse things. It’s one of those “a word can have multiple meanings but it means this in context” kinds of things). It’s not exactly a self-apparent translation, but it preserves the spirit of the original term and sounds fancy too.

Anyone else feel that they’re trying to hard-sell Asuna a little too much, particularly in this episode? I mean, I agree she’s wonderful and perfect and I love her, but the way the studio goes out of its way to demonstrate it all the time is a little much.
It’s still a great episode though! That middle section was pretty powerful.

Fall 2012 Plans

Sword Art Online continues into the Fall 2012 season.
Our new shows are:

  1. Shinsekai Yori – We’re taking it nice and slow subbing the first episode, so don’t expect it any earlier than tomorrow. Whether we’ll continue with it or not depends if CR is simulcasting with the CS-Asahi broadcast (which is the first airing and what we’ll be using) or with the terrestrial broadcast (which is 5 days later). We will drop it if it’s the former.
  2. Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai – This will be a joint with rori Fansubs, and we will be releasing under the URW label (short for “Unlimited Rori Works”; Pedobear would kill to get in!).
  3. Little Busters! – We will be joining forces with our good friends over at Mazui again for this show. If this gets licensed, we will drop it if the streaming is available any earlier than 24 hours after it airs in Japan.

That makes four shows this season (oh boy). Here’s to another great season of anime!

I finally found some time to do a bit of fansubbing, so here’s the Accel World OVA! Although this was encoded from a Bluray source, we will not be releasing a 1080p version.
I will announce our Fall 2012 season plans later today. Be sure to check back!

I thought this episode was pretty meh, but that might be because I already knew what would happen and I’m probably coming down with the ‘flu or something. Guess I’ll take today to rest up now that this weekend’s subbing spree is over.
See you next week!

Accel World – 24 (END)


ANOTHER DEEPLY SIGNIFICANT SEAGULL SHOT FTW

And that’s another series completed here at UTW!
It’s been a long ride spanning half a year, and this project started out pretty rough. Nobody really wanted to work on this series, and I had a part-time job on Saturday mornings that severely limited my available time for the first few episodes. There was even a point when our motivation was so low and waking up in the dead of the night was so painful that we got pretty close to dropping the project.
I’m glad we persisted though, and while the ride hasn’t gotten any easier (__ar would want to kill himself every time the studio spammed screen perspectives for him to typeset), the enjoyment of it really improved. Those of us in the team who work on or follow the series are all rooting for a Season 2!
And we have the staff roll call!
Raze (Translator/TLC/Editor/QC): Snow Black ftw. I love her.
ar (Typesetter/Encoder/2nd OP Kara Styler): So it’s been 6 months and time has flown, and what started out kinda slow and silly turned into a pretty good show. Haruyuki stopped being a fag by the end, and that’s cool. Snow Black is wifey material, and Blood Leopard is hnnnnggg. There was a lot of tedious days where I had to spend anywhere from 6-10hrs typesetting, but I guess at the end they were still fun after the fact (though I am sick of typesetting perspective shots of screens!). It was practically Raze, fgg and myself almost all the way through and we managed to pull it off week to week. Bravo sirs, this was fun~
fgghjjkll (Timer): It was a pleasure to work on this project. The series was awesome and I enjoyed every bit of it.
Kusion (Kara Styler): Since I only styled the songs and QC’d 3 or so episodes, I can frankly say that I still know nothing about this show, and that I probably never will. Though, having said that, I can say that Chiyuri is pretty damn cute.
8thsin translated the first 7 episodes before real life took over him. He stayed on to TLC a few more episodes before dropping off completely, but he’s (sort of) back and working through that Nisemonogatari backlog!
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.
Thanks for flying UTW for Accel World, and we hope you enjoyed our work!

Slight delay brought to you by a delayed MBS broadcast and a severe lack of timers. It’d probably be delayed for another hour if I hadn’t decided to just time this shit myself after TLCing and editing, and before QCing. I hate fansubbing.
Negativity aside, it’s out anyway, so please enjoy!

It’s the penultimate episode, but we’re still getting new characters and learning more about the Accelerated World. It’s like all the juicy stuff started only too late into the series. At least we have the light novels to tide us over until season 2 (?) comes along…
Yes, we know about the OVA that came with the new PSP game, and we will sub it. Just don’t expect it anytime soon, because my medical studies and social life come way first.
