Accel World is getting sexay!
Snow Black and Chiyu fight it out this week for the ultimate prize: Porky-kun.
Oh, there’s more about the Brain Burst program if you care.
We didn’t have the preairs this week, but it seems we were able to release in almost the same time as previous weeks.
Enjoy the episode!
Raze EDIT: Sorry if you guys were confused about how many Level 9 Burst Linkers one must defeat to reach Level 10. One must beat another Level 9 Linker in each of the five times required, but we understand how the lines we had make it sound like only one victory against a Level 9 Linker is enough.
The reworked lines are as follows:
[spoiler]Dialogue: 4,0:04:33.66,0:04:35.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You only need to win five times.
Dialogue: 4,0:04:35.37,0:04:39.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However, they must come from beating other Level 9 Linkers.
Dialogue: 4,0:04:39.12,0:04:44.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A single loss will strip you of all your points, and Brain Burst will be forcefully uninstalled.[/spoiler]
You can download the fixed script (along with other tweaks and edits throughout) HERE, or by navigating our script repository. Due to logistical and stylistic concerns, we probably won’t release a v2 for this episode until the mid-series batch.

Best female ghost ever, or best female ghost ever?
Here you go. The staff did some thinking together over the week, and we’ve made some changes, most notably translating 怪異調査部 as “Paranormal Investigations Club” (we used “Detective Club” last week, which on second thought is perhaps too vague). Episode 1 will be v2’d for the batch for format and terminology consistency.
fnord and Sindalf wanted to blog about stuff, but I was rushing to get to work and forgot to save copies. I guess I’ll put them up when I’m home.
EDIT: Here’s fnord’s blog on one of the lines in this episode.
[spoiler]There was a little discussion about a line this episode. My interpretation wasn’t persuasive enough for the rest of the team, so it was banished to the blog. Here’s my minority opinion. When Momoe recites the chant after the demon has gone into ‘hiding’, she says 「夕子さん 埋めた、柱に埋めた」, which could be a reference to an ancient Japanese practice called 「人柱」 (hitobashira). Hitobashira was a form of human sacrifice whereby some of those involved in the erection of a large structure, usually a fortress, would be buried alive to bless it and protect it from anything that might threaten its enduring presence, such as natural disasters, or, in the case of fortresses, pillaging armies (a very real threat in medieval Japan). The idea was that burying men alive within the walls of the structure would infuse it with the souls of the workers, and, since nature in Shintoism is swarming with spirits, move the building closer to the spirits and essentially make it a part of nature. A different, in literature popular explanation sees the sacrifices as the slaughter of workers that had participated in the construction of secret passages inside the fortress, and whose death would ensure the secrecy of the tunnels, thereby protecting the fortress and its lord. This is probably artistic license, especially since evidence of secret passages is unconvincing at best, but the practice of hitobashira as a whole seems largely undisputed and urban legends drawing from it persist. The reason why I am bringing this up is rather apparent if you’ve seen the episode.[/spoiler]

“Epic” doesn’t even begin to describe this episode. I can’t remember the last time I watched anything quite as jaw-droppingly fabulous as this.
It’s a shame the nico subs were pretty poor this week. Awkward phrasing aside, they also managed to butcher the accuracy of an alarming number of lines this episode. It’s a wonder their translator/editor hasn’t been fired yet.
Anyway, do enjoy the episode! It’s back to some more Mahoyo for me.

I have faith in you, Silver Crow! You can totally beat this frail butterfly girl!
As you might have guessed from the website banner, we’re not dropping Accel World. I haven’t seen the Viz release yet, but I enjoyed working on this show, and I’m sure we can do better 😛
There’s no more preairs starting next week, so our release might take a bit longer, but we’ll definitely try to release within 12 hours of airing. Also, I’ll continue blogging about it every week, so stay tuned!
NB: For anybody having problems rendering the title at around 2:20 with VSFilter + MPC-HC, we recommend updating to xy-VSFilter, this should play it better. We will make it lighter for the next episode onwards though, so weaker PCs don’t struggle as much. Alternatively you can drop this lighter script in the same folder as the mkv, and have it load as external subtitles. It should be more subtitle renderer friendly.

Moshi is probably hitting up chicks in Tokyo University at the moment and it’s way past fnord’s bedtime, so I’ll write up this release post in their stead.
Here’s the first episode of our third project of the season, a joint with sister group Underwater. I’ve never worked on an episode quite like this before, but despite the :effort:, it proved to be quite a lot of fun to sub. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it just as much as we did!

After a grueling four-month wait, the UTW team is happy to present you with the 14th episode of Fate/Zero! We are once again treated to jaw-dropping visuals (those aerial battles, omfg) and pretty much top-tier quality in every respect.
And that new ED… simply amazing. Really, really good. The music, the lyrics, the visuals… everything. All the more so if you’ve listened to the drama CD that came with the season 1 BDs. ;_;
Anyway, that’s enough blogging from me. Enjoy this episode!

We’ve decided to go ahead and sub this show (for now) despite the hulu stream. A US-only hardsubbed low-res stream isn’t exactly what we consider up to standard, let alone their terrible marketing decision to let absolutely nobody know about it until airtime. They should be glad they don’t have any real competitors in the market.
At any rate, please enjoy the first episode!
P.S.: If you’re wondering why the video seems to cut off early at the end, it’s not our fault. That’s how it was broadcasted.
P.P.S.: Direct Link!
P.P.P.S.: 8thsin, translator for this release, wrote up a pretty insightful blog post on this episode. You can check it out HERE.
Fate/Zero Season 1 BD Batches
DOWNLOAD 1080p: [UTW] Fate Zero – 01-13 + Specials [BD][h264-1080p FLAC] [DDL]
DOWNLOAD 720p: [UTW] Fate Zero – 01-13 + Specials [BD][h264-720p AC3] [DDL]
Here are the BD batches for the Fate/Zero Season 1 Bluray Box, which contain:
- Episodes 1-13 (UTW subs; the R1 subs are still terrible and therefore not included in this release)
- Please! Einzbern Consultation Room Specials 1-3
- Drama CD 1 + English Translation Scripts
Most of the episodes contain extra scenes scattered throughout. There were no commentary tracks whatsoever.
We’re still chugging along with putting art to the drama CD tracks, but this will probably take a month or two to complete. For now, please make do with the translations.
And that’s it! See you guys for the first episode of Season 2 this weekend!
Spring 2012 Plans
We have decided to pick up the following:
- Fate/Zero Season 2
- Accel World
- Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
Whether we actually end up working on the latter two shows is still subject to CR/nico/funi simulcasting.
There is another show that we’re still considering whether or not to do; if we do decide to go ahead with it, you’ll find out what it is when we release it.
Gosick BD Vol. 1-12 – Batch

DOWNLOAD Patch2: gosick-bd-ep17v2-linefix-patch.zip
And that is a wraaaaaaaaaaaaap! After working on this series for 15 months, I can finally say this wraps it all up. It’s been a long run, and I enjoyed the series, and I hope you guys did too.
This batch contains the whole series, episodes 1-24, which came on 12 Blu-ray volumes. There is a v2 for episode 17 to fix a missing line, and episodes 1-4 got renamed for consistency. I’ve supplied a patch for episode 17, but I’m not going to make one to rename episodes 1-4, rename them yourselves~
Also I won’t be doing DDLs because DF = slow, and DDLAnime is a joke to upload to (especially without ftp upload and its severely broken web ui), so use XDCC or torrents.
NB: I’ve added a patch for ep10 to add the missing locations font. This is not part of the batch torrent because nobody bothered telling me there was a problem, until NOW.
