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.

Things sure got a lot more interesting with this episode. We’re treated to a bit of backstory, some detective work and revelations, and more delicious Alice.
While QCing this episode, I noticed an interesting bit of kanji play going on with the names of two characters:
[spoiler]One of the ways to write Yoshiki (the guy who owns that sewing shop) is ??. Incidentally, when you reverse the characters, you get ??, which is read Hison…[/spoiler]

Yayoi-cchi! How is it possible to be so adorable? She’s a parent’s dream come true.
Fans of the older idols, you can sit down. This week’s ep takes things at a slower pace with a focus on three of the office’s younger idols. In fact, none of the other girls even have lines!
Bonus points for anyone who catches Haruka’s ??? face in this ep.
See you next week!

Sorry for the delay, folks. When sudden illness strikes a small team, momentum suffers.
I think I’m running out of steam on witty(?) release copy. Plot advances, people sing, some other people dance. Yukiho digs a hole, Haruka doesn’t fall flat on her face, Hibiki doesn’t interpret the hamster language, Producer-san screws up… Takane continues to be wonderful comedic relief. Oh, and Ryuuguu Komachi plays a minor part somewhere in there.
Some things that wouldn’t fit in TL notes:
Ryuuguu Komachi (????): literally means “Beauties from the Palace of the Dragon King.” Ryuuguu Castle itself is a reference to the underwater castle that appears in the folk tale of Urashima Tarou, which you can wiki for more information (including the ‘treasure box’ that shows up in Kotori’s daydream).
Minase (??), Miura (??), Futami (??): Chief mentions during an interview that the three Ryuuguu members’ family names involve water, which gave Ritsuko the idea to use name Ryuuguu Komachi. The characters in their family names mean, respectively: ?? water shoal, ?? three inlet, and ?? twin sea. Haruka, who was indignant at being left out, bears the family name Amami (?? ), which uses the characters for heaven and sea.
A message from Daiz, the encoder and typesetter of the episode: My personal apologies for the delay. Sickness and typesetting hell just isn’t a very good combination.
