From-scratch fansubs & comprehensive typesetting for The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls U149, with new original song translations. Enjoy! š
Video: Crunchyroll (1-12), Amazon (7.5 Recap)
Script: Anon from the U149 /a/ threads
Typesetting, Additional TL, TLC: eli
Song styling, Karaoke: Anon, eli
QC: eli, Anon, /@/non
Dialogue, lyrics, typesetting and song styling, etc. have been revised and improved for all episodes from the individual releases. These v2s arenāt quite the āfinalā version of the show (thereās a little more TS work still to do) but Iāve been incredibly busy, preparing to move internationally, and I didnāt want to delay the batch any further. A final v3 release will happen when the BDs finish coming out and someone makes a good-quality x265 encode, and when I find the time.
Please leave any final QC fixes or general feedback here, or get in touch via the Information link above. These are the currently-known fixes that will be made.
If anyoneās interested in encoding the BDs, please contact me, or just upload the raws here since the BDMVs are publicly available (so far).
(We also plan to release the upcoming OVA, the PV for which just dropped a few hours ago!)

Iām linking my Ko-fi because I donāt have a job right now (having just graduated) and, throughout the course of the season, easily spent 100+ hours total typesetting & working on this series. It was really a lot of work. (Thanks to you especially, Miria.) But it was also a blast, a great introduction to iM@S for me, and I learned a lot in the process too! Thanks for watching.
āKids, kids, kidsā¦!!!ā
P.S. Haru best girl.

Jokes aside, thanks for all the hard work!
neoborn
great subs. i would love to have these for my own encode of this show. do you have any eta for that v3 together with the ova/special?
eli (uploader)
@neoborn I just moved internationally and Iām very busy, but I hope to find some time later this or next month to finish up the work linked above + check what needs to be re-typeset (the BD had some random/surprising changes) + do the OVA (a non-TS/QCād v0 of the subs is out now though). If not by then, Iāll have a whole week to work on finishing stuff up at the start of January 2024, but I hope itāll be before then!

@eli any updates on the BD batch of this project? If you need an encode of the BDMV I can give it a shot.
eli (uploader)
@serebii42 Itās coming ā sorry for the delay. The above situation is still true and Iāve yet to do most of the TS updates, but it absolutely will come out sooner or later. Someone is helping do KFX for the EDs and the new versions look pretty great so far. For the encode, at this point Iām planning to use video from either Airotaās or 7Ā³ACGās x265 release (have both downloaded, havenāt done a comparison yet).
serebii42
@eli appreciate the response, thanks. Glad to hear it is still on your radar.

Any updates here?

@JhanzKun Unfortunately no, Iām sorry! I wish! Work culture in Japan entails a lot of long in-person hours and as a result I have very little free time that Iām at home on my own computer anymore. Iām hoping Iāll be able to start working from home a bit this summer which will give me time to do the BDs. I will eventually get around to this, just still adjusting to a new schedule and feeling a bit burnt out from other projects. But I absolutely do intend to complete this & see it through :)
The revised release will just be some fixes here and there, updated typesetting where needed, all-new karaoke, and a better version of the OVA. Nothing totally earth-shattering, i.e. I wouldnāt wait or put off watching it or anything!

@eli
Thanks for the heads up! I guess I could watch this version instead, Wishing you luck on your work Itās always tough on the first months ngl

@JhanzKun If youāre sick of waiting, https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1832390 seems like they did a pretty nice job of stuff!
RichRichie
Why is that certain scene in the OP turn dim? I checked other releases and they donāt dim at all.
eli (uploader)
@RichRichie Automatically dimmed per broadcasting regulations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harding_test
Itās not present on the BDs, only Web/TV versions.
RichRichie
@eli I see. Will this dimming be present in the next version of this release too?
eli (uploader)
@RichRichie No, itās not present in the BD releases (as itās something required to be done by broadcasters, not the animation studio).
RichRichie
@eli I see, Iām glad to hear that. I look forward to it!
