Futakoi Alternative 02/13

The twins are here again!

Episode 02: [pulled; get the v2 instead]

D.C. Da Capo 04/26

Now it's Kotori time!

D.C. Da Capo 03/26

And here it is, the next episode of D.C. Da Capo. This one has a lot of Miharu!
For more information about this release, see the post about the first episode.

Futakoi Alternative 01/13

So, another hardsubbed show is becoming softsubbed. I decided that I'll do two shows in parallel from now on, the releases will be rotated. It's more interesting for me this way.

The order of episodes was slightly changed on DVDs comparing to the broadcast order: episode 3 was shifted down to become episode 5, and episodes 4 and 5 were consequently shifted up to 3 and 4. I'll release the show in the DVD order.

[EDIT: the following text describes the v1 release. It is left here for historical reasons.
See this post for the description of the v2 release.]

This release is based on existing raws created from DVDISOs by uboa. (Not to be confused with old DivX raws that've been floating around.)

Video: x264 640x480 29.97 fps 1724 kbps (encode by uboa)
Audio: Ogg Vorbis 192kbps (2.0)
Subtitles: English styled softsubs (translation by AnimeYuki)

Screen comparison with AnimeYuki TV rip

(Static screens might not do justice because this show has a lot of action and complex scenes. So look at it and leave your opinion.)

Canvas 2 22-24/24

For some reason when I watched the show, this ending was exactly what I expected. Though a lot of people say it was a surprise. Maybe it depends on your preferences. Anyway, in my opinion the ending is satisfying and beautiful. Enjoy!

D.C. Da Capo 01/26

D.C. Da Capo was aired as 26 episodes, each running for ~24 minutes. But the main story runs for this duration only in episodes 15 and 22-26. Episodes 1-7 were aired with image songs performed by seiyuus of the main series characters. Episodes 8-14 and 16-21 were aired with side episodes.

All of that is included in this DVD-based re-release. But for some reason, DVD shifts the side episodes to ep 8-20. Because of this shift, episode 15 now runs for 30 minutes and episode 21 runs for 18 minutes. All other episodes are 24-minute long.

The video is encoded with x264 at 704x480 (anamorphic 16:9), 29.97fps, crf 17. The average bitrate among 26 episodes is 1373kbps. The animated parts are completely unfiltered (they don't even need IVTC, because the DVDs are progressive). The sound is untouched 448kbps AC3 (2.0).

Special thanks to Zalis / ReDone Subs for OP&ED karaoke and all the other help.

Screen comparison between Soldats and this re-release

Two subtitle tracks are included.
- English translation by Soldats (styled softsubs)
- English translation by AonE&HQA (styled softsubs)

Note that AonE&HQA cut and didn't translate image songs from episodes 2-7, so Soldats translation is used for those parts in both subtitle tracks.

Canvas 1 02/02

The little OVA is now complete. Canvas 2 will be completed tomorrow, or next week.

Canvas 1 01/02

Just to complete Canvas collection, I'm also re-releasing Canvas: Sepia-iro no Motif OVA.

Although Animeforce release supposedly uses DVD source, it has the following problems:
1. It is hardsubbed.
2. The first episode has horrible video quality.
3. The second episode has horrible typesetting with lots of 3- and even 4-liners.
4. Aspect ratio is incorrect.

Note that this OVA contains a couple of minor hentai scenes.

Audio: Japanese 2.0 AC3 192kbps
Subtitles: English softsubs (.ASS), translation by Animeforce

Canvas 2 18-21/24

Some unexpected events occurred last Friday left me with no time for anime for several days. But don't worry, all plans remain unchanged. Here's the next batch of Canvas 2 episodes.

The episodes now feature OP/ED karaoke made by Zalis from ReDone Subs. All thanks to him!

Canvas 2 13-17/24

The next batch of Canvas 2 episodes is ready. This includes Lilac All-Nighter - another great filler.

You can now also get all my releases from irc bot J-G|XDCC which is lurking in #jumonji-giri channel at Rizon. I won't guarantee that this bot will last, though.

Canvas 2 09-12/24

Time for some serious drama! Then, time for some RPG!

Canvas 2 06-08/24

Those moving signs are killing me, especially when they are moving non-linearly. You might notice a couple of signs dancing in ep06, but they were dancing in Lunar hardsub too, so at least I didn't make it worse.

Anyway, the period of me being too busy with other work is now over. Expect this to be completed in a couple of weeks. Da Capo releases will be started in parallel.
