Welp, I resisted for as long as I could, but we finally updated the OP to the official lyrics. It is with great sadness that we have replaced “I’m ready!” with “I’m lady!”, along with some minor adjustments. My sincerest apologies to all for subjecting you to this.
I’m not sorry in the least, however, for this episode full of Azusa-and-Miki-in-wedding-dress, Makoto-in-tuxedo goodness. The ep is a clusterfuck of wth, but never has wth looked so good while telling fortunes or been so utterly lost while helping grandmothers cross the street.
Yes, feel free to cry for us once you count up the number of insert songs and anime-originals. We accept tears, blood, cash donations, and cookies. Warm cookies, though. None of that cold shit, please.
Quick note re: that guy I’m sure you’re all going to wonder about. He is never, ever introduced by name. Unless that is his name. Since he is referred to by the same name both in print and in person, we decided that his status passes for his name. After all, Azusa’s (and in several instances, the other idols’) friend Tomomi’s name is written as 友美, so why can’t other people be referred to by their roles?! The characters in Tomomi’s name are, literally, “friend” and “beauty,” a very common element in a girl’s name, used in this case to stress the name’s generic aspect. The name Tomomi, however, is a perfectly common name, though usually written with different kanji.
Finally, since I personally didn’t know about this: The ED, Hanikami! First Bite is a reference to the traditional first bites of the wedding cake taken by the bride and groom at the reception, fed to one another.
Post-incredibly-long delay notes: Psy here. Regardless of circumstances, we’ve made you wait a very, very long time for these episodes. m(_ _)m Gomennasai. We’ll most likely have everything released by some time tomorrow. Enjoy the eps, and once again, our apologies for the delays.

So this makes another episode down, only one more until Volume 1 is finished (finally!), then it’ll be onto Volume 2. Since I blogged all I had to blog yesterday I’ve got nothing much extra to add.
We now bring you today’s feature presentation.

So this series was infinitely stalled due to Moshi’s new life taking priority over subbing cartoons, but he is slowly making progress with the translations. We’ve got up to episode 3 translated so far so once 2 & 3 are qc’d/edited we’ll go ahead and release those too.
We’ve changed a bunch of names to reflect the Archives booklets that came with the Blu-rays, so what you have now can be considered pretty much official, except for “Dunan Nut”, we don’t like that (lol) so we’ll stick to using Deunan Knute.
The audio for both the 720p and 1080p comes from the DTS-HD MA 5.1 track so I just threw FLAC at both. There’s a ton of grain/action in episodes 1-3 so deal with the size. The size falls with episodes 4 & 5 to more reasonable sizes.
Here’s a few words from our sponsors.
kusion: wtf is appleseed <- le sigh
commander`A: American Movies > Chinese cartoons <- he can't be saved!
Also, huge thanks to Tek for helping making this release possible!

Here’s the final episode of Carnival Phantasm Season 1 for you all! Apologies it took so long, but my excuse is that I honestly didn’t have any time to finish it up until today.
Despite that, we still made it with plenty of time for you guys to cast your vote on the Carnival Phantasm official website! You need to watch this episode first though, and a Twitter account is required to cast your vote. The deadline’s September 19th and not the 15th as it says in the episode, by the way.
We hope you enjoyed our work! The second season will be released at the end of October, so we can all expect more TM parody comedy goodness then. See you again when the time comes!

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.
iM@S 08 and 09 Delayed
See title.
EP8 – Everything is done except typesetting which is currently resting at Daiz (the typesetter) who is currently moving to a new dwelling, and will be doing so for the next few days. Once he has settled into his new place we’ll get this out. Our apologies for the delays.
EP9 – We’re going very slow with this, considering 8 isn’t even done yet. Considering I (Kusion) have had a long day at work, I don’t feel like staying up all night to wait for my turn. We’ll get this out tomorrow afternoon (if 8 has been released of course). Until then, keep bugging Daiz for updates on ep8, and don’t bug us for ep9! …Not yet, at least.
Please understand and try to be patient and it’ll be done when it’s done. Stop asking when it’ll be released or if we have dropped it. If it was dropped we would have said something.
I asked Kusion to put a post up earlier but he didn’t and since I don’t care about iM@S (I still <3 you though kuz) enjoy this awesome sketch of Mafuyu from Seizon (courtesy of Pixiv) instead.

Here you go. We have a Tsukihime section as well as a Fate section in this installment, so there’s something for everyone.
No promises, but hopefully we can get the 4th and final episode of this season out by this weekend. Typesetting is already underway.

Well, I’m pretty sure most of you already knew how this arc would end since they dropped one gigantic clue too many in the last episode. Still, Alice being even more delicious than usual made up for it.
Looks like we’re getting a baseball episode next. ETA on the obligatory beach episode?

Here’s some more Carnival Phantasm! We have a beach volleyball episode featuring the Melty Blood cast, abound with god-tier jokes and all-round good stuff. The “Afterschool! Alleyway Alliance!” sections, which I particularly liked, makes its debut in this episode.
Nothing much else to say other than enjoy the release, I guess. The next two episodes will probably take a little while longer as I will be rather busy until the weekend.

It is my great pleasure to present to you, at long last, the first episode of Carnival Phantasm, in celebration of Type-Moon’s 10th anniversary. And what a way to celebrate the occasion! Really good stuff, especially if you’re a Type-Moon fag like me (I’m still expecting the release of Mahoyo sometime before the world ends, TM…).
There was a lot of typesetting to do in this episode, and ar simply wouldn’t accept our releasing this without all signs done to the maximum possible :effort: and aesthetic appeal, so… three typesetters in all (ar, Bob64, and fnord) got to work. All three of them (ar in particular) put in a lot of time and effort, which I’m sure shows through in this release.
You can probably expect a Carnival Phantasm release once every few days, depending on our schedules. I will end by saying, though, that the second episode is the stuff of legends.
