Next Season Plans?

Click for full size~

Figured it’s about time to start thinking about stuff.

Next season! We’re not really sure whats going on. A bunch of our staff have joined with folks from various other groups to form Tsumiki Fansubs, which plans to sub Acchi Kocchi next season. Hence the image at the top of this post. Go and check them out.

Other than that, EveTaku doesn’t really have any concrete plans. Senna was interested in doing Natsuiro Kiseki, which I wouldn’t mind translating. I was hoping to take next season relatively easy, after the 12 hours a week I usually devote to InuBoku. Nothing’s final, though, so suggestions are welcome. Personally, nothing caught my eye as something I’d really really want to translate myself, but I’m open to input. Puddi is still uncertain whether his schedule/parents will allow him to pick up a show, and escro is off working on Acchi Kocchi, so I’m the guy to convince if you want to see us sub a show.

I won’t put up a poll because we don’t even have a list of choices. So, discuss away!

In other news, we will most definitely be doing the A-Channel OVA that is coming out approximately right now. Give it some time, though. There’s also been a new Satou Jun’ichi OVA announced, titled One-Off, which I definitely want to translate when it comes out. That might be many months in the future, though.

      Depends on what other groups are doing it and if I have time to read some of the manga before airing.

      The premise sounds really weird but then again, I didn’t think Onani Master Kurosawa could be good, either.

      1. dae-kun

        The premise IS really weird. I’m really weird, though. It’ll be an anime original story based on the characters from the manga. So I can’t say how it will progress; but I was hooked on it after the first few chapters.

      2. firath

        well the manga was really good at the very least
        the odd premise may seem….well odd at first but it certainly makes the manga better

  1. Omega

    Well, Natsuiro Kiseki is fine. You can go with it.
    But if you want something that isn’t your style for a change, then I want to suggest Zetman. Though this never gonna happen lol.

    However, how many shows are you gonna pick for spring season?

    This is my first post on this site, but been around for long time.
    So Hello everyone!

  2. Acnologia

    Only really interested in Medaka Box and Kore wa Zombie no Desu Ka? OF THE DEAD. IIRC, Commie is doing both, but >Commie.

    1. Gabe

      I’d like too much to see you guys doing AKB0048 :3 I can’t wait for this serie! Would be really great AKB0048 done by you.

  3. Exkalamity

    I know I’m probably beating a dead horse but…+A-Channel 720p? It’s been a while…

    Also sub whatever you want cuz I would probably download your version of any show over most other groups. (UTW maybe not…)

    1. lygerzero0zero

      We got that encoded until the server crashed and the files got deleted. I swear. ._.

      When we have time and I remember…

      1. Squiggy

        Yea I’m sorta responsible for that mishap – either way go blame Ed because it was offline in a flash before I could backup anything

  4. Leon

    mmm thinking about shows that seem interesting (at least to me) and that i’d really prefer watching from you guys instead of, I don’t know, commie (because of your translation style and dedication) would be Hyou-ka and/or tsuritama, but it’s really up to you guys, choose something that motives you since you are the ones putting all the effort after all. Either way, keep up the good work, it’s really appreciated.

    Greetings from Chile ^^

  5. Akane

    Considering EveTaku’s repotoire, the ones you guys would probably enjoy doing the most are Sankarea, MGX (errr…Nazo no Kanojo X), and Upotte!.

  6. Kitty

    well, if i may?

    maybe you could… i dont know, get to that ad lib anime lab? if you’re not doing anything, that is.

    1. Ascoat

      Seconded, though I’m still in no hurry. As long as it isn’t dropped I’ll wait patiently for that second episode.

  7. john

    Interesting main pic on So Ra No Wo To, though I don’t recognize the character. Too bad the studio did not follow up with the anime original story.

    1. sinkingmist

      “though I don’t recognize the character”
      That would be because the character is from Acchi Kocchi… (hence relevance to the post).

      1. john

        Ahh, so kaa. Naruhodo~~

        If you do decide to do Natsuiro, then it’ll be fine. I really love your work with Tamayura~h~. it has that quirky touch thats just so like that show and I suspect Natsuiro is also the same.

  8. Makoto

    I would probably suggest Accel World, and Kore wa Zombie desu ka S2. Natsuiro Kiseki would be nice. I can’t get enough of cute girls and slice-of-life shows.

    This maybe a bit advance but, you should try to consider Sword Art Online on summer.

  9. Kato-kun

    Well, I would go for Sankarea. Really liked the manga (although dropped it at some time because reading manga on the net aint sth for me).

    Very interesting plot and nice characters. Would love if a quality group like you would go for it. I’m sure it matches your repertoire.

    Cheers.

    1. lygerzero0zero

      The Tamayura BDs are still coming out AFAIK. We can’t exactly release before the BDs actually go on sale. In any case, most of the work on them is being done by skullking123 over at Nishishi, until the volume that contains the extra episode comes out (in which case I’ll have to translate, of course).

      As for Ad-Lib… when we work up the motivation.

  10. Lawl Lawlsworth

    Lyger, I’d love to read your translation for Kizumonogatari, whenever that comes out. I suggest this, of course, with the hope that you will also post lengthy translation notes to go along with it. I love dem walls of text. :3

    You could also take on Nisemonogatari as a long-term BD project.

    I’d also like to suggest the unsubbed specials for the Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei series. There’s a torrent of raws on Nyaa by Henshin, if you’re interested in taking a look. If there aren’t any seeds, I can send them to you through XDCC.

    I don’t know much about next season’s shows, and I have final exams, so I’ll probably only start picking up new stuff to watch after May.

    Oh, and *cough* Chihayafuru *cough* Neibs, y u not do dis *cough*.

    1. lygerzero0zero

      Good lord, I know my limits. I doubt I’ll be translating Nisio Isin any time soon. Besides, the existing translation for Nise is fine, especially considering there are plenty of other groups TLCing it or planning on doing the Blu-Rays.

      If nobody at all has subbed the SZS specials then maaaybe I’ll take a look, but I doubt I can handle something that reference-heavy. Combined with various other factors, there’s a good reason people are reluctant to work on Zetsubou Sensei.

      1. Lawl Lawlsworth

        Haha, alright. Guess I’ll just have to watch the SZS specials when I’m an 80-year-old master of the Japanese language.

        Just took a look at next season’s shows, and I saw Sakamichi No Apollon. Shinichiro Watanabe and Yoko Kanno are on it; shit’s gon’ be legendary. Maybe you’d be interested in doing that? Jazz is always good. :3

  11. john

    For the gun nuts (like me)!
    Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!! Upotte!!

    1. firath

      well gun bits aside
      its a pretty good moe title
      though apparently they butchered some of the characters

    2. john

      Damn. I will have to look elsewhere to get my ACR ……..(Anthropomorphized but Cute Rifles).

      MW3 fans should get the double-meaning here :-)

      To be honest, based on the manga, its really more echi than just guns itself.

  12. Garfield

    Considering it’s Evetaku… I suggest Accel World, Hyouka, and Acchi Kocchi. Alternatives would be Kuromajo-san ga Touru, Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, Sankarea, or Upotte.

    I don’t really expect you to sub Medaka Box (that’s more of an anime I’d associate with Hiryuu, anyways).
    I suggested Acchi Kocchi, but I’m more likely to take Ahodomo’s version (or Ahotaku… dunno, either way, AHO!)

    1. lygerzero0zero

      So far as I know, all the staff from both Ahodomo and EveTaku who want to work on Acchi Kocchi are now over at Tsumiki. Loli Lovecraft has an official stream (and I’m not personally interested enough to work on it, even if the stream TL is bad). Sankarea seems to be covered by other groups, though I am looking forward to watching it.

      Accel World, possibly. I was hoping to check out the LNs beforehand but alas, the NYC Kinokuniya never seems to stock LNs before their anime adaptations air (I could download scans, but reading that much text off the computer hurts my eyes). Hyouka probably has plenty of sub groups, too.

      After seeing people mention it, I looked into Tsuritama and it actually seems interesting. Noitamina shows are prone to simulcasts though, and the translations for those have always been good so far as I’ve seen.

  13. x4gottenx

    so much animes this next season of mangas i love, but also means a lot of chances to disappoint (T▽T)
    i’d say sankarea, but looks like u might be leaving that one to the many other groups interested
    strong votes for: tasogare otome x amesia, medaka box
    reg votes for: akb0048, upotte, kore wa zombie s2
    …. (´;ω;`) so much possible disappointments
    wells thx for listening to others for this ^ㅂ^

  14. firath

    well anything in your usually genre stream is fine i guess
    theres to many titles i want to see done to really recommend any of them myself

  15. Mimiko

    oh! Oh! OH! i would be soooooooooooooooooo happy if you did Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?’s second season!
    Onegaaaaaaaaaaaaishimasuuuuuuuuuu!

  16. Kordosa

    Well, two series that haven’t been mentioned that might (or might not) be something you guys would be interested in are Saki: Achiga-hen episode of side A and Shining Hearts ~Shiawase no Pan~

    I’d suggest Achiga-hen because rather than a sequel to the original Saki, it’s a side story that focuses on totally different characters. It’s also being handled by a different studio than either of the ones that did Saki (which may or may not be a good thing). And anway, it’s more mahjong. And mahjong is fun, right?

    Shining Hearts is based off of an RPG by Sega. Looks to be a fantasy-themed series which you don’t see many of nowadays. I have no clue what it’ll be like since I have no knowledge of the game series, but given the series’ subtitle, it might be lighthearted and fun.

    1. firath

      i wouldn’t recommend that lyger do the saki spinoff
      that would require a lot of TL notes and probably several localization notes posts and basically a lot of extra work

      1. lygerzero0zero

        Nah, it’s just mahjong terms, and terms are just terms. It’s not like I’ll be faced with a flood of tricky puns, difficult idioms, or obscure references to old manga/TV shows. While it’s true that it’s not a direct sequel, and I wouldn’t have to worry about season 1, I really don’t think I know enough mahjong.

        You may not need to know mahjong to understand the show, but to translate is a different matter.

        1. firath

          well its true that the terms arnt difficult theyre numerous and repetitive, like grinding in a MMO
          and there is no really good way to explain the terms without TL notes, well TL note arnt really a good way to handle it either
          there is of course the option of just not explaining the terms but that kinda takes away from the experience (unless of course the viewer knows the terms already, which i assume would be the minority of people watching the subbed version)
          and of course it would take extensive knowledge of Riichi(or Reach) mahjong to translate
          well if your not planning on doing it anyways it doesnt really matter

          1. puddizzle

            I don’t appreciate your condescending tone of voice here.

            However, I’m going to warn you that you’re getting into very touchy subject matter that many different people bear different opinions on.

          2. firath

            Im just saying that doing a subs for a mahjong anime seems to be annoying
            as someone who actually plays mahjong

          3. Kordosa

            I didn’t think there was much of a problem with the first season. Yes, there were a lot of matches. And yes, they used mahjong terminology. But because of how each scene was set up, I didn’t feel as a viewer (with no prior knowledge of mahjong) that I was missing out. You knew who was ahead, you could hear each of the players thoughts on what they needed and what their strategies were. The intricacies of the game didn’t matter as much because of how interesting the interactions among all of the players in the match were.

            Also, the mahjong aspect is really just a means to an end: having cute girls interact with each other, forming friendships, rivalries, etc. This is an anime after all, and there is a target audience as this PV makes clear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VND5uoqLxfA

            As far as basic information on mahjong itself, there are Wikipedia articles for both mahjong and Japanese mahjong, and I’m sure there are other online resources as well.

            Anyway, it was simply a suggestion, and as I noted above in my original post, I knew it might not be something EveTaku would be interested in so I’m fine with whatever decision they make.

          4. Progeusz

            If you care about mahjong terms when watching Saki, you’re doing it wrong.

  17. GM_Rusaku

    Well just a question or actualy its like a request.
    Would you be interested in subbing Busou Shinki Moon Angel? I have the raw (been seeding the torrent for all to grab) and I can give it to you if you’re interested. By the way the raw is a dvd rip not a psp recorded one so the quality is good. Here is the raw.
    http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=298106&showfiles=1
    All ten episodes are compiled into one completed with Op (konami re-used the op in battle masters Mk-II) and Ed song.
    If you need proper name spellings I can also provide them.

    Will wait for the staff’s reply ^___^

    1. lygerzero0zero

      We’ve got the raw and hellborn has started encoding. No guarantees, I’m busy as hell this weekend. Then again, A-Channel should only take 2-3 hours an episode to translate (versus 8-12 hours for InuBoku).

  18. Daniel

    Wheres Ano Natsu, is it delayed, or is someone sick or something. If someone replies can they can an estimate of when its going to be done..

  19. BloomingDesire87

    I’m not too sure about the new season, but is anyone going to sub Hiiro no Kakera?? It seems to be the only one that I am actually looking forward to next season…

    Other than that, if you guys dont’ really pick up anything much next season, would you be working on releasing some of the earlier projects that you have out there still?

  20. Datte

    A Channel + Smile has been out, when will you release it?
    Well I think for 2-3 days for your team, but just to make sure.

    1. lygerzero0zero

      If we said we’re doing it, we’re doing it, but we’re not going to rush an OVA.

      Encodes barely finished, and I’ve translated episode 1 (excluding the songs). Currently being timed. No typesetting yet.

  21. Daki

    Please consider subbing Yurumates 3D! I really like evetaku’s subs and Yurumates is one of my favorite OVAs.

  22. Kaori

    i support your decision to do natsuiro kiseki. i really look forward to that show being done by you guys.

    my requests are Tasogare Otome×Amnesia, Jormungand, Eureka Seven Ao, Sakamichi no Apollon, and Hyouka. i know i am requesting a lot but i will still be sticking with you no matter what you choose. thanks!

  23. Technohexxen

    In my opinion you should pick up Jewelpet Kira Deco! Not sure if anyone else is picking that up, anyway it is simply an solo opinion.

  24. Verix

    rori is already doing Natsuiro Kiseki, and they are pretty competent.. then again do whatever the team feels like doing

  25. Jeffrey-sama

    >Accel World
    I won’t be surprised if a respectable group picks this up.

    >Tsuritama
    noitaminA (:

    >Natsuiro Kiseki
    rori is doing it so I think this show is in good hands already. Kinda pointless to have two good releases of the same show.

    >AKB0048
    My personal choice. THE iDOLM@STER v2! :D

    >Other
    Jormungand looks interesting and only one group (Hadena doesn’t count), a relatively unknown one I might add, plans to sub it, according to FansubDB.

  26. heartfull

    I think that Sakamichi no Apollon, Tsuritama, and Accel World would be great!
    Hyouka a la Evetaku would be nice too :D
    But, you’ll all do an awesome job regardless of what show(s) you pick!

  27. Progeusz

    I voted for Natsuiro Kiseki but I see rori is doing it already, they should suffice.
    Naze no Kanojo X seems very interesting considering it has anime original story.
    Hyouka will probably be oversubbed (and imo UTW is going to do it, no point in competing with them when there are 40+ shows)
    I’d love to see Saki subbed by you if Underwater doesn’t pick it up.
    Accel World – I don’t care about it + oversubbed for sure.

    W/e, translate anime you like, Inu x Boku SS was good so I’ll trust you opinion.

  28. moga

    AKB0048 is my vote for sure. Would be awesome to have a group as good as yours on a show that looks like it’s gonna be undersubbed.

  29. yeppers

    Shining Hearts -Shiawase no Pan-

    Because bread.
    And Production I.G.
    And because it looks like one of the few shows actually not subbed or undersubbed, other than AKB0048.

    It’s up to you. Any one of the shows you listed could be a good choice.

    1. Kordosa

      I already suggested this series, but I’m going to officially throw my vote in for this one as well. FansubDB has Commie listed as possibly subbing this but not definitely. And if they don’t decide to sub it, I’ll be stuck with Hadena or Ruri (the latter of which I’ve never heard of before).

  30. asckj1

    Sakamini no Apollon waiting eagerly for this one- its the Shinichiro watanabe + yoko Kanno team for this anime
    and Tsuritama- Synopsis caught my attention. I think they are good shows that maybe you can atleast take a look at.

  31. Cloah

    I’d also like to make an “official vote” for Saki Achiga-Hen … you all could do a good job of it, I think. :)

  32. Animebaka

    lol, accel world. eliminated. the only other show i really want to watch that i haven’t seen any fansubbers openly claim that they will sub it is sankarea (long sentence is long).

  33. redemption024

    the poll’s gone… so you guys have decided on what to sub this season eh? great… i’ll stick to whatever you do.
