A pretty depressing approach to the spotlight on one of my personal favorite characters. I think we’re going to need a season 2, or possibly an entire spin-off series to deal with the plot points that were raised and left unresolved in this ep.
I’d say “imagine how I’m going to be when Miki’s ep comes,” except that… well, Miki doesn’t have much backstory to leave unresolved ^^;
Due to repeated issues with kfx lag, multiple new songs per episode and the standard UTW policy to leave things soft-subbed, we’re removing kfx from this release and future releases. Older eps will be fixed in v2’s.  Two tracks as always.
In any case, enjoy the frog costumes and damnable cameramen. See you next week!
arEdit: Update: Apparently the fonts didn’t attend the first muxing due to RL issues, but we, being the gentlemen that we are, organized a second muxing that they were able to attend.

We promised you faster, and this week, we didn’t deliver! Thanks to RL stuff and inefficient utilization of the jet stream, we managed to increase downtime by 180%!
More Thai girl, cute Alice, and Yakuza this week. The conclusion of another case!

We promised you faster, and this week, we actually deliver! Thanks to proper alignment of various cosmic bodies and efficient utilization of the jet stream, we managed to reduce downtime by 180%! Thanks, GEICO!
Forewarning: Fans of iM@S, the insert song is not what you think it is. That is all.
P.S.:: Due to a lot of feedback, the fancy karaoke effects have been removed in the second subtitle track in favor of a simpler style. So if you were having lag issues with the OP/ED, give the second track a try!

So, here is the announced OVA. The BDs for Appleseed are sadly nowhere to be found, which is why this release uses the stream rip from a few weeks back. We likewise can’t sub the second and the third episode yet, although they are technically out, since we don’t have anything to work with.
This is where you come in. We would be overjoyed if someone out there had the BD itself or the Bluray disk image and would like to share it with us; send Raze an email or contact Raze or __ar in our IRC channel. Found somebody. ^_^
Some staff logs:
[spoiler]< @__ar> also, dunan grew a few cup sizes

A little over a month later…

Here’s the second episode of Kamimemo for your enjoyment! This week’s mystery is about an energetic half-Thai, half-Japanese girl, her dad, and the Yakuza.
We should be slightly faster next week. Thank you for flying UTW!

Those of you who hated cameraman-san, rejoice! Cameraman-san has been upgraded to Producer-san.  Replacing him is… cameraman-san! Who, thankfully, has spoken lines and is treated like a totally normal character.
Was anyone out there expecting LOTS of iM@S music? Hope you were, because today’s release introduces all sorts of goodness. We can probably expect the same from every week here on out, too.
We apologize for the delay. We had some encoding issues come up. Next week should be faster!
Once again: subtitle track 1 (default) will once again be UTW style with honorifics and common terms in japanese, whereas track 2 will be the more localized version with no honorifics, courtesy of Daiz.
See you next week!

Hidan no Aria – Batches

So I finally got off my lazy butt and threw the Hidan no Aria batches together.
None of the SD releases have been changed. I didn’t really need to v2 any of the HD releases either, but I did for three of the episodes to fix the following:

  • Episode 1: “Baretta” –> “Beretta”
  • Episode 2: “And I thought the Kinji the Dark…” –> “And I thought Kinji the Dark…”
  • Episode 9: “Why would you want to know what?” –> “Why would you want to know that?”

TL;DR I v2’d three episodes to fix a typo in each. This is of course necessary since we really care about Hidan no Aria and want people to have the perfect viewing experience etc.
The Ano Hana batches do need quite a bit of work, though, so we’re hoping to release that in a week or two.

Gosick – End Batch (13-24)

See this post for the Mid-series Batch (Episodes 1-12).

DOWNLOAD HD Patches: [Victorique]_Gosick_End-Series_Batch_-_13-24_[h264-720p][Patches].rar
There aren’t many changes in this half of the batch. Just some minor stuff, yada yada. I’ve blogged enough about Gosick already so I’ll keep this short and sweet~ Victorique looks so cute in this art I grabbed from Danbooru.
Patches Note:
Extract the contents of the rar to the same directory as episode 13-24, run the batch file, it will create files with the tag (Batch) in their filename, you can delete the originals after this. I didn’t add a delete function just to be safe because it’s 12 episodes. Also there’s nothing stopping the people who dont like (Batch) in their filenames from simply just renaming the files or changing it to v2/v3/etc. I did this for ease of the patchers.

Hello everyone, I have recently joined this group as a translator, and my first project will be Kamisama no Memochou. This first episode turned out to be extremely enjoyable for me, since it’s like modern Gosick without deus ex machina solutions. Please enjoy!
This is my very first release post, so I thought I should take this opportunity to make a proper introduction.
[spoiler]I have been a fansubber since 2005, starting with Japanese live-action drama and moving on to movies. Anime has been my obsession for the past 2 years, and I have been translating 2D-video since last winter. I tend to have a mainstream taste, but I’m not afraid to speak out against the majority. You may have already read some of my film and anime reviews, and I know I come across very opinionated at times… I’m very passionate about anime and Japanese movies. I can be very outspoken about fansubbing too, but I will try my best not to stir up any drama with UTW 🙂
Somewhat “serious” or “sentimental” series usually get my attention. It’s probably why I really loved KamiMemo’s first episode, because it’s very much about the people as the case itself. You can expect to see me picking more series like it in the future if I can continue to translate many more series here. I am usually extremely picky when it comes to selecting which series to translate, but I definitely will finish what I have started (unless it’s agreed in advance that I would only translate a few episodes). So far, I have a perfect track record for completion of series, and I intend to extend that streak here in this group.[/spoiler]
As some of you may have already noticed, I was the translator who “dropped” this series with gg fansubs. While the statement on that gg post was entirely correct, there is a really long and messy story behind it, and I want to clarify a few things.
[spoiler]I had originally proposed working on KamiMemo with UTW before gg, prior to taking the TL test, but certain turn of events led to it being released with gg. However, CR licensing had taken every show I was interested in, so I had to ask koda at gg to let me translate KamiMemo with UTW instead. Props to koda for putting up with my selfish requests, and assigning me to another great series this season!
Long story short, there was a typical fansub coordination nightmare at the beginning of the season, and I somehow ended up with two shows I really love for groups that I originally wanted to work with… because I’m lucky like that.
I also want to make a statement that all the shortcomings in gg fansub’s first KamiMemo release were completely my fault and mine alone. I underestimated speedsubbing by working under far-less-than-optimal physical conditions, and made miscommunications that led to it being released without editing. Needless to say, it will never happen again, especially with a group with such high standards as UTW, and I will do my best to produce the quality of translations expected from me.[/spoiler]
I have been around here only for a brief period, but the staff and posters here at UTW seem very friendly, and I hope this will be the beginning of a long-lasting relationship.
So as I pray, Unlimited Translation Works!

NB:

This episode is 48mins long thus the file size is equivalent to roughly 2 single episodes.

The iDOLM@STER – 01

Thanks for waiting!  UTW, Underwater and I, your guest translator, are proud to present to you THE iDOLM@STER.  New and improved, now with no giant robots! Our glorious, unified tag, [Chibiki], is a simple amalgam of three of our favorite idols: Chihaya, Hibiki and Miki (ordered to make the name sound good – Miki rules all our hearts!).

If you’ve been following Kusion’s storm of iM@S vids for the past several months, you know what’s coming. Singing, dancing, and a greater variety of idols than you can shake a stick at. While we’ve all been apprehensive as to the quality of A-1 Productions’ work, I personally think it’s safe to say that this is one of the finer releases this season. Viewers of NicoNico rated it #1 out of everything that came out!

Big thanks go to Kusion, the other leader of this project and wrangler of the Whiteboard of Doom (you’ll see), Daiz for working all day with us while sick, Raze for guiding us along all the while, and __ar for words of wisdom and magic fixes along the way.  Next week we’ll be even faster, now that we have everything in line and the team worked out!

As an added bonus! Daiz has prepared a sub track 2 for viewers who prefer their subs with as little untranslated Japanese as possible. Track 1 will be UTW style with common terms and titles included.

Enjoy the music, enjoy the surprises, enjoy the ride.  We’re looking forward to experiencing The iDOLM@STER with you!
