Too much awesome in this episode. While each section was hilarious in their own right, my personal favorite was Five Ren Cats.
A little tidbit worth mentioning here so you guys get the joke at the last section. The letter H (ecchi, or エッチ) pretty much means sex in Japanese by default. I chose not to include this in a TL note in the episode because the term should be quite familiar to any seasoned anime viewer.
Encoders Note:
[spoiler]This h.264 release is 10-bit, so update your codecs/etc. if necessary or if you haven’t already done so.
The reason this is in 10-bit while the other episodes aren’t is simple; every one of you should be able to watch softsubbed 10-bit 480p regardless of what CPU you have. If for some reason you can’t or refuse to get 10-bit working, the resolution of the XviD release is only slightly lower than the h.264 release, which replaces any need for an 8-bit h.264 480p release.
Now onto why we haven’t re-released the Blu-ray episodes in 10-bit: a fair amount of people won’t be able to render the heavy typesetting with 10-bit 1080p in realtime. We’ve already had to tone down some of the typesetting for the Blu-ray releases, and it wouldn’t be worth it to tone it down any further just so it can play back reasonably in 10-bit video.[/spoiler]

I mean, we all knew this episode would be epic, but that was beyond god-tier. Some QUALITY moments, though.
Sorry it took so long. I was being extra careful with editing the dialogue.

Enjoy your C3, now with more delays than ever before.
arEDIT: SD will be done later today probably, I am busy encoding Gosick at the moment.
Moshi interjects: If you thought that we would drop a series without at least notifying you people in a post of its own, AND managed to not read Spinarakk’s or Break’s comments of “hey guise it’s called a literary technique, don’t watch UTW subs if you can only understand literal translations from english to english,” AND somehow read the “dropped” line without reading the strong-tagged(=bolded) TL NOTE (yup, that’s for them darned english to english translations) saying that I’m just kidding…
Well, I’m sure nobody actually fits all three criteria, right? <_<

OMFG A LOLI RIN EPISODE MY NUTBLADDER OWWWWWW MY HEART HHNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
They sure did deviate from the novel a lot though; the content for this week’s episode is practically original. I guess the studio peeps couldn’t withstand the full force of the divine phenomenon called Loli Rin either.
Please enjoy!

I finally managed to find some time today to get this translated, so here you go. Those of you who have played F/HA will definitely get a massive kick out of this.
I reduced both the font size and the vertical margin slightly so as not to block off too much of the bottom of the screen too often. As with all our releases, you can turn off the subtitles for an intrusion-free viewing if you’d like.
Time to get some sleep before Fate/Zero tonight. See you all again in a bit!

Christmas has come a few weeks early! Yum! Note the double entendre.
This episode is brought to you by cake resale proceeds and worn-out wallets. How the hell do you wear a hole in a coin pocket, anyway?
With Jupiter out of the way and Chihaya’s emo turned into “500 Ways to Say Thank You,” iDOLM@STER is pretty void of drama. OR IS IT? It looks like the girls have all-new foes to compete with. Do you know who?
Also, continuing in the vein of recent eps, there’s a boatload of songs, including an anime original insert and an anime original ending! They’re pretty catchy, too.

Thanks for waiting, everyone. I’m back and 15lbs heavier. The pumpkin pie content of my blood is through the roof, too.
The OP, CHANGE!!!! has been updated with official lyrics. Yes, more wtf’s await you. I hope you’re all lady for this one…
A bit of trivia for this week’s Kotori ep! Did you know that, in the original game, Kotori only appeared at the VERY end when you received the scorecard detailing your playthru performance? She developed SUCH a fan following, she was eventually given her own image songs, CDs, appearances in games, and now is virtually an idol herself. What a rise to stardom.
Also! We have yet another self-cameo in this ep. We haven’t seen them in some ten or so eps. They don’t appear in person, but there’s a brief shot of the three of them on a poster/flier… More brownie points/cookies/pie/awesomeness to whoever finds them!
