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…
