Apologies for what has been the longest weekly TV release delay in the history of UTW. For those of you who patiently waited for our version, the wait is finally over; please enjoy. For those of you who didn’t, we understand why you’d turn to other sources. Amagami SS withdrawal symptoms are surprisingly severe.
A rough timeline of the delay if you’re interested:
[spoiler]11/18: We grabbed EF’s cap of Amagami SS 20 (yes, we have been (relatively) unaffected by all the drama) and discover the first part of it to be corrupted. We decided to work on it anyway and hoped a Share/PD raw would show up before we all went to bed. It did not.
11/19: A few Share/PD raws popped up overnight, but ar had work, and I had Index II to work on. ar encoded a v0 raw using the intact parts of the transport stream and a PD raw, and I went to bed leaving Kusion to time the script, who agreed to do it even though he had to leave early next morning for a weekend trip with his buddies to NY.
11/20: Turns out Kusion only managed to time 16 minutes of dialogue before fatigue got the better of him. Nikon jumps in to time the rest of the dialogue, fnord begins typesetting, and I begin editing. During this time, a fresh transport stream appears on Share which begins downloading at good speeds. This, compounded with the fact that someone else had already released a subbed version of this episode (and therefore provided those of you who are desperate with an alternative), we decided to forgo releasing a v0 and to wait for the transport stream to finish downloading. A few more hours couldn’t hurt, right? Turns out the download stalled at 92% for the whole evening…
11/21: …all the way until the afternoon of the next day, right after ar went to bed. ar took the day off but had an appointment in the morning. By the time the final encode was finished and uploaded, it was already past midnight where I am.[/spoiler]
This whole ordeal is something none of us want to happen again. To this end, I would like to ask anyone out there who enjoys our releases and is willing and able to provide us with backup transport stream caps (note: not PD/Share raws) to contact me (Raze) on our IRC channel. If you are willing to help but don’t have capping equipment, I am willing to provide them if certain conditions are met; to begin with, you should be situated in Tokyo, Japan, be able to receive TV, and have a fast upload speed.
New poll for the Rihoko arc, and see you on Thursday for the first episode of Queen Tsukasa’s arc! As for this episode, it is without doubt one of the most emotional in the whole series. Not too sure I like how it ended, though…

Chugging along with the series, we have the third installment of Rihoko’s arc. Great episode overall with lots of golden moments (and no Kanae T_T).

Is it a bad thing if I’m finding myself more attracted to the heroine’s friend than the heroine herself? Because dayum, Kanae is pretty sexy.
Delays delays delays, brought to you by a late airtime and ar screwing around with his encoding. Blame Japan and ar you’re getting this a few hours later than normal, and ar again for the larger-than-usual filesize. ?(???)?

The Rihoko arc begins, and it already looks like it’ll be a cute arc. I personally enjoyed this episode. The ED was completely painless to transliterate this time round and not bad at all, although it sure didn’t sound like Rihoko was singing it.
It’s a wonder how Rihoko seems to be happy considering how everyone constantly makes fun of her for being fat and ditzy. As Manaka says in the episode, “Poor girl”.
EDIT: Typo on my part. Sorry for the confusion.

Best episode/girl/arc etc., hands down. Words don’t do this episode justice. Wow. Just wow.
Note: XviD v2 is just a resolution fix, so if you didn’t have problems with the 720×480 res one don’t grab this. It’s only for those who did.
Anyway, character monologue and new poll, as usual. A version with the lines timed to the audio and a delicious pic of Ai can be found in the post below.
[spoiler]Senpai…
Senpai.
Senpai. ?
You’re a little perverted, uncool, and indecisive.
You seem to have absolutely no strengths…
But that’s not true at all.
You treated me to some Oobanyaki from the vouchers you won from the lucky draw.
There’s a little part of you that’s kind.
You did things like teach me math…
I didn’t expect you to be that nosey.
When I told you that my club cleaned up the beach as part of our volunteer work,
you suddenly started picking up all the trash on the beach, hehe.
I dunno…
Is that side of you… childlike?
Or are you just an honest person?
Hehe… Senpai, you’re supposed to be older than me, but you’re kinda cute.
When you and I went to the amusement park, you had also invited Ikuo to come with us…
But I lied that Ikuo had caught the ‘flu and came alone…
You were pretty surprised when you realized it was going to be just the two of us, weren’t you?
But I wanted to see what it was like to have a date with you, Senpai.
At the time, I was down because I was having trouble improving my time during practice…
Oh, I’m a backstroker for the school swim club.
I thought it’d be a nice change of pace to go on a date with you to the amusement park.
I even dressed up for the occasion, but you didn’t notice at all.
Even so, you couldn’t take your eyes off my thighs.
I totally knew that, you know?
You really are perverted, Senpai.
Um…
The date was fun, but I didn’t expect that to happen…
The butter melting on my body…
I could feel your breath violating me…
And then, your finger went inside me…
I was asking for help with all my might too, but you tried to EAT me…
Heh, hehe… you were pretty weird at the time, but I did say things like “I’ll go stale”,
so I guess it was pretty weird.
That mysterious and maybe even magical attraction at the amusement park.
After that…
I gave you… my first kiss.
We kissed on the swings.
In the park where I first met you.
I never would’ve imagined things would turn out this way when I first met you.
You’ve become such a big part of my life.
I’m glad my first kiss was with you, because I really love you so much…
More…
I want to give you more.
Everything I can give you.
And… I want to make you happy.
Because I’m happy when you are.
But… there’s still something important I need to do.
I… still haven’t asked.
What your feelings are…
Senpai, if you’ll take me in, I’ll…
I’ll give you my everything.
Hehe… make sure you accept all of it properly when that happens!
Everything about me.
If you don’t, I’ll end up hating you!
So… try your best, okay?
Senpai.[/spoiler]

Man, this has got to be the best episode of the series yet. It’s everything you’d want from an Amagami SS episode, and more.
Translation, timing, and editing were actually done quite a while ago, but apparently the transport stream source was banded everywhere and horribad today. Encoding took a while because of this, and we were basically sitting there twiddling our thumbs for it to finish. Perhaps our next aim is to get an encoding server?
There’s an insert song in the episode. We tried to do it, but I personally gave up at the fifth line (when Junichi screams “NANASAKI!” over the singing). We figured we might as well not waste time figuring it out and embarrassing ourselves. We’ll add the official lyrics in for the batch.
On another note, we’re looking for a new typesetter to work on Amagami SS. You must be:

1. Experienced in ASS tag full softsubbing
2. Self-motivated, able to produce high-quality work under stressful conditions and little time (ie. not slowpoke.png like me – ar~)
3. Available without fail on Thursday evenings 4pm onwards EST
4. Able to use IRC

If you’d like to join us and think you have what it takes, idle in #UTW-Recruits. Be prepared to present your previous work and/or take a test.
Found somebody.
Index II tomorrow.
FEEDBACK REQUIRED
Ok guys, I need compatibility feedback from xvid guys with hardware players for the test xvid below of Episode 15. Basically that it’s fully compatible and that the aspect ratio is correctly set on playback, it’s encoded at 720×480 with 16:9 display a/r set, which seems to work fine for me on software players at least. Also has CBR MP3, no QPEL + no GMC. Basically there should be no compatibility issues whatsoever, but if there is let me know. This is for the benefit of anybody who has compatibility issues with my xvid encodes. If you don’t speak up I can’t fix shit cause I didn’t know it was broken to begin with.

I missed this series so much. That one week break made me realize how much I look forward to the next episode every week.
New OP (which I’m already digging but will not sing no matter what Kusion does to me), same awesome ED, and really quite a great episode.  Several things going on under the surface, and Junichi is in his element as a confirmed hentai.
