Sup. We have a new movie release for you all: the “new” Fullmetal Alchemist movie, The Sacred Star of Milos!
A Fullmetal Alchemist release by us might seem somewhat random, but it actually isn’t. I was forced on pain of death persuaded into subbing the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood TV series starting around episode 38 or so until the end under TMD-Raze, one of my first forays into the world of anime fansubbing; a few of us would later branch off to form this ‘ere group, UTW Fansubs. We decided to sub this movie for nostalgia’s sake, and here’s the finished result!
Just saying though, I still think FMA is terrible and I’m glad this ordeal is over. I guess shounen shit really isn’t my thing.
With that bit of trivia over, here are some words from the other staff who worked on this release:
ar (Typesetter/Encoder): [spoiler]So this marks the end of a legacy, from the days of subbing FMAB with my bros Sindalf and Raze under the Tomodachi flag. With the release of this movie those days now come to an end. It’s still fun working with these guys, so I suppose the bigger picture would be that this is merely a milestone in our adventures or something like that. PS Movies are effort, don’t do them, lest you be subbing for days straight~[/spoiler]
Sindalf (Timer): [spoiler]So how long as it been? Almost three years since I started fansubbing starting with FMAB? I can very well remember waking up at 8am every day and calling into work in order to get off and fansub all morning. All things considered, the FMAB project has changed my life. I met so many different people out on the internet, some of whom I made ragequit, some of them I still talk to this day, and some of those people are the ones I worked with on this project. Furthermore, if I didn’t start that project I wouldn’t have joined the o9k fansub groups I am in today or any of that. If it weren’t for it I wouldn’t have even met all the people that I consider to be friends, not a single one of them. I have a lot to be thankful for because of this. It’s kinda weird really thinking back about how things could have been different but oh well here we are. I am a very lucky person indeed. Technically without the FMAB project UTW wouldn’t even have existed since some of the founding staff first did anime subbing on that show.
Oh, if you actually care about the movie then I will be the first to say that its quite bad and everyone hated working on it, except me of course. Flying Nazi werewolves. __ar stinx.[/spoiler]
I assumed my usual role of Translator/Editor/QC. fnord translated the OP/ED, which I then edited.
I also have to give props to a kind individual who does not wish to be named for helping me translate part of the movie while I was at work. Thanks!
I CAN FINALLY GET BACK TO MY MAJIKOI S And there we have it! Please enjoy the movie!

Junichi and Ai are so adorable together. >_<
For those of you who don’t know this, “Wherefore art thou Romeo?” does not mean “Where are you, Romeo?” but “Why are you Romeo?”. Read more Shakespeare, get smarter.
Random observation:
[04:22:02] < @Raze> notice how the love hotel district is conspicuously empty during christmas eve
Looks like Kaoru’s up next week. It’ll be interesting to see what they manage to milk out of the bro-turned-girlfriend relationship.

This week we have the concluding Rihoko episode! And… (spoilers)
[spoiler]…the more optimistic 40% of you on the Rihoko Friendzone Poll were right! I mean, I never really liked Rihoko, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel really happy for her at the end.[/spoiler]
Nanasaki Ai’s up next week, so get ready for some delicious swimsuit action!
In other news, Majikoi S came out this early morning (omfg Kokoro route and Margitte route and new characters OMFG), but I was stuck subbing this episode this morning and now I have to go to work for about 14 hours including both jobs and traveling. UTW shut down until we’re all done playing it… just kidding.

Surprise double release for today! Here’s Carnival Phantasm episode 12 and the mini OVA included in the third volume, Fate/Prototype, for your enjoyment. This brings us to the end of the Carnival Phantasm project!
It’s been a long but very fulfilling ride through the three volumes of this series. Quite possibly the best gag parody series I’ve ever seen, I enjoyed watching every minute of it, and it has been so much pleasure to share this wonderful series with you all. It’s always sad to see a good series end, but that’s what makes the experience all the more valuable. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
I suppose it was pretty interesting to watch this small Fate/Prototype digest and see how the concepts in it eventually matured to those present in the Fate/Stay Night game. The middle section, put simply, was a TL nightmare, replete with contextless Nasu(TM) dialogue all overlapping one another (up to four voices talking simultaneously). After some analysis, thought, and mix-and-matching, I’m hopeful I did the translations justice.
And… the curtain call!
Raze (TypeMoon Fag/Translator/Editor/QC):
[spoiler]It’s always a challenge to translate comedy so that the jokes come through in English, but this series took it to the next level by parodying the massive TypeMoon universe (meaning I really needed to do my homework), as well as making references everywhere to all sorts of series and movies, which meant each line had to be approached with extreme care. I gave each episode everything I had because they deserved nothing less, and I’m very, very glad all of you seemed to enjoy the end result a great deal.
I really have to give it to my friend ar here for the insane quality of his typesetting. His signs made my jaw drop in awe many, many times in the course of working on this series, and it all came from hours and hours of hard work and an insistence on perfection. Thanks also go to the other staff who gladly chipped in their free time to make these subs possible. And of course, my deepest appreciation goes to Eri Takenashi and the geniuses at Lerche labs for coming up with these jokes. Rarely have I laughed so hard in my life![/spoiler]
ar (Typesetter/Encoder):
[spoiler]Where to begin… This project was a hell of a lot of fun and each episode made me laugh continuously, with some being particularly funnier than others, but all of them were great as a whole. Everytime a new volume (Season) came out I knew it would be hell to work on, but completing each episode felt great. I knew that after all the hours of typesetting, being able to sit down and enjoy the episode would be bliss, and that it definitely was. My knowledge of the Nasuverse is fair I suppose, there’s a lot I don’t know and a lot that I’d love to know, and it seems like watching each of episode of this and then hassling Raze with questions paid off, as well as looking things up myself where I could. All in all, I would estimate a good ~250-300 hours were spent on typesetting this gem, which was practically all my free time whenever we were working on another season, but I had a blast working with Raze and the others on this, so it was time well spent. And while I was definitely burnt out after each episode, I would probably still do it again. Lerche did a wonderful job animating Carnival Phantasm for a new Studio, and I hope they continue to produce more high quality work in the future with more of this great typography work they’ve so far displayed. My hat goes off to them and to my bros who I spent hours working with on this series.[/spoiler]
Kusion (Timer):
[spoiler]Carnival Phantasm has been the most fun I’ve had timing a series in a very long time, and I’m glad that I was able to work on it. Every episode was filled with laughs, and it was also hilarious to watch Bob64 and __ar work for hours on the whiteboard of doom (now with much more “doom” than iDOLM@STER’s!) Hope you all enjoyed the ride![/spoiler]
Thanks also go to Bob64 and fnord for assisting with the typesetting, Moshi for his very valuable input, and fgghjjkll for filling in for the timing of ep9.
Please enjoy the final episode of this incredible series, and thank you for flying UTW! A batch will hopefully be released sometime soon.

Turns out ar didn’t need to go to work, but I still ended up waking 2 hours later than usual, so… a slight delay. Here you go anyway!
Oh, an interim poll just for kicks. What’s the bet that Rihoko’ll be friendzoned again?

I’m pretty mad at myself for overlooking a recurring South Park reference until someone pointed it out in the comments for ep10. I’m not even sure why I never managed to make the connection after so many episodes, considering that I used to follow South Park (in English) so religiously. Sorry about that, and the affected episodes will be fixed in the batch.
Anyway, here’s FINAL DEAD LANCER, with 100% more “You bastards!”. Please do enjoy.

Fans of Kohaku and her trolling will love this episode. We also have delicious Akiha and a pretty random Hisui section.
EDIT: It occurred to me that most of you probably don’t know the details behind Hisui’s “Brainwash Detective” persona, so here’s how it came about:
[spoiler]Nasu apparently made a lot of typos with Hisui’s lines in a minigame that was in the pre-release version of the Tsukihime visual novel. Among them is a typo where Hisui, as a detective, declares “犯人を、貴方です” (“I’ll make you the culprit”; the “wo” is supposed to be “wa” instead, which would make the line mean “You’re the culprit”). The joke is that the typo makes it look like Hisui is declaring to turn the person into the culprit, instead of declaring the person to be the culprit.
While these typos didn’t make it to the final version of Tsukihime, Type Moon later posted a pretty awesome optical illusion pic featuring the personality Brainwash Detective Hisui, whose catchphrase is “貴方を犯人です” (a slightly reworded version of the relevant line that means the same thing). 2ch loved it, of course, and the phrase has become a famous meme ever since.
This typo-meme also came up in ep2 of Carnival Phantasm. See if you can find it! ^_^[/spoiler]

And this concludes the Tsukasa after-arc! I guess that’s about as far as you can take an after-arc that’s only two episodes long.
We forgot to do a title logo for episode 1. We’ve included it in this episode, and we’ll provide a revised episode 1 with the logo and other typesetting fixes (such as consistency tweaks and the de-lagged blackboard sign) in the batch.
Please enjoy!
