This week we have the concluding Rihoko episode! And… (spoilers)
[spoiler]…the more optimistic 40% of you on the Rihoko Friendzone Poll were right! I mean, I never really liked Rihoko, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel really happy for her at the end.[/spoiler]
Nanasaki Ai’s up next week, so get ready for some delicious swimsuit action!
In other news, Majikoi S came out this early morning (omfg Kokoro route and Margitte route and new characters OMFG), but I was stuck subbing this episode this morning and now I have to go to work for about 14 hours including both jobs and traveling. UTW shut down until we’re all done playing it… just kidding.

Turns out ar didn’t need to go to work, but I still ended up waking 2 hours later than usual, so… a slight delay. Here you go anyway!
Oh, an interim poll just for kicks. What’s the bet that Rihoko’ll be friendzoned again?

The oh-so-mysterious unused character makes her big debut! Well, not really big, but still!
The opening has been updated to official lyrics, and—funny enough—the song still makes no sense! A big やった！ for denpa songs.
Enjoy episode three!

We’ve got nunchucks, we’ve got bears, and we’ve got BALLOONS. Oh, wait. Did I forgot to mention more ninja gags? Aw, yeah!
Yet another satisfying episode of Kill Me Baby. Enjoy!
EDIT: Patched up the errors (mistranslated sign; I’m sick, sorry! I misread ;; no font for the OP, etc).
Not going to bother v2ing the actual episode or the mp4. Sorry.

And this concludes the Tsukasa after-arc! I guess that’s about as far as you can take an after-arc that’s only two episodes long.
We forgot to do a title logo for episode 1. We’ve included it in this episode, and we’ll provide a revised episode 1 with the logo and other typesetting fixes (such as consistency tweaks and the de-lagged blackboard sign) in the batch.
Please enjoy!
About Nisemonogatari
After some deliberation with the involved staff last night, we’ve decided to hold out working on Nisemonogatari until the Blurays, regardless of the quality of Crunchyroll subs.
While we did work on simulcasted shows in the past, the reasons for doing them have always outweighed the reasons not to. With Gosick, Crunchyroll provided no 720p version; with Fate/Zero, the streams were 360p and hardsubbed. In both cases, the total work involved wasn’t too bad, either.
Neither is the case with Nisemonogatari. Crunchyroll will be providing 720p video and subs about an hour after airing, and the work involved in subbing such a series is astronomical. We’d probably end up releasing up to 24 hours after airing, which makes the venture all the more pointless when speedy rips at 720p resolution will be available so quickly. Not to mention that this would be by far the smartest decision in terms of preserving our sanities; we’d probably burn out a few weeks into the show working under such demanding and pointless conditions.
So rather than doing all the work twice, we’ve decided to hold out until the BDs and do a good job on those. Sorry to disappoint those of you who were looking forward to following Nisemonogatari with us, but unfortunately our lives do come first.
EDIT (8/1/2012):: Turns out CR’s translation is pretty good, and they also translated all the important signs. Furthermore, CR’s video actually has more details than the transport stream (but more banding). There’s really no reason left for us to work on the Nise TV broadcasts anymore, so we’re more than happy to settle for working on the Blurays.

NOTICE: Looks like we got trolled by mkvtoolnix v5.2.1, which failed to tag OTF fonts correctly during muxing, breaking the OP style; it should look like this. You can download and use the font fix patch linked above to fix the problem.
So much for trying to get the first episode out before leaving for work (about 6 hours after airing). It was actually translated and timed well before that, but it got delayed because of… you guessed it, typesetting. Among disasters such as broken software, fnord having to go to bed and leaving ar with the signs, and general herpderp, the episode was a giant pain in the ass to typeset and of course, ar just had to get everything right (and we love him for it).
Either way, it’s out now! More Ayatsuji-san is always welcome, especially in the bathroom.
We’ll look to see how we can iron out the kinks in our subbing process before the next episode airs, so it’s safe to say you can expect a reasonably speedy (if not lightning-fast) release next week.
arEdit: Episode 01 XviD has all the current fixes, including those which will be in the next episode sign wise.

After a long day of work, UTW and Mazui present you with Kill Me Baby! It’s been a fun first episode after having been a fan of the manga, so we hope you enjoy the release.
We’ll see you again next Thursday for a blast of fun.
Check below for information regarding the opening translation:
[spoiler]There’s too much nonsense in the OP for you to keep track of. Trust me.[/spoiler]
For those bound to ask: Amagami SS+ will be coming later today.
Nisemonogatari / Amagami SS+ Trailers
The following section is from our resident Monogatarifag Moshiburner.
Oh the things I do to make a blog post amusing… It took me all of ten whole stinkin’ minutes to paint.net that thing.
But MAN am I on fire for Nise! Epic sequel incoming, I swear. I’m burning through the novels as I type. No I’m not. I’m going to sleep now. But when I wake up, you know what’s goin’ down. My morale! Wait what no that’s a good one but NO go away now yes just leave okay good thank you!
So, as a show of my/our overflowing enthusiasm (he says as he shoves fake moshiburner behind the curtains), here is the following 60-second promotional video of Nisemonogatari, or, as we the staff have decided, Impostory:
Was it good? Yes it was. No it wasn’t? Well you’re no good either. Is ar’s typesetting fabulous? Yes, as always. Are fnord and Daiz going to work the hardest and get forgotten again anyway? Probably. IS THIS WHOLE THING A FAKE? THEN OUR PLANS MUST BE REAL!
…I think I’ll stick to easier jokes. I pray that someone understands it.
Anyhoo, I’ll let Raze take over from here. We shall meet again!
…And next time, you’re in for one hell of a story.
——————————————-
Okay, my turn. We decided to sub the above Nise PV as a “practice run” of sorts to figure out how we’d handle the translation of certain phrases and terms, and the typesetting. Things worked out pretty well, I think.
While ar was wrapping the signs up, it occurred to me it wouldn’t really be fair to Amagami fans if we subbed a Nise PV and just ignored dat Ayatsuji trailer. So… here it is!
Yeah, we’re reusing the fonts and stuff from the original. Nostalgia etc.
And no, we didn’t forget about Carnival Phantasm. Please see our release FAQ on the right for status information.
