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.)
Episode 01: [pulled; get v2 instead]
Thanks for releasing this series, will you be doing the first Futakoi series as well?
ReplyDeleteYes, eventually, but not in the nearest month.
ReplyDeleteCool! I actually downloaded the DVDISOs off Share last year, but since I hadn't seen the show and it looks fun I didn't really want to spoil it for myself by having to rip hardsubs and stuff beforehand. So, thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteshit, i almost wet myself when i saw this on tokyo tosho. tremendously underrated show which deserves the work you are putting in. the eye cancer of the TV rip was very frustrating...iirc, this show has a shitload of moving signs = typesetter hell...
ReplyDeletesorry for double post...
ReplyDeletejust wanted to say that if you are OCR-ing the subs, i can help if you are interested.
i can OCR, edit and typeset to a certain extent (no moving signs. well i did them frame by frame in kare kano, so...yeah).
IF you are OCR-ing, what program do u use?
and i didn't find any contact info on this blog.
so, my email

@ idiffer: .srt files of the AnimeYuki subs have been on subs.com.ru for awhile, so hopefully Kaishakunin happened across those. Of course that doesn't help with the signs :( I know both toybox and I considered doing the show, but passed due to the poor quality of the DivX5 DVD-rips mentioned in the main post.
ReplyDeleteAnd if the moving signs get too crazy, there's no shame in just throwing up an "{\an8} Sign: " line. Though walls of text may be a different matter.
@Zalis
ReplyDeletelol, russians OCR-ed the subs, huh. we rule))
yeah, the dvd rips were no different from the tv rip. but these new ones jumongi is using are better.
Yeah, I use those .srt files, correct the timing to account for scene changes/remove blinking/etc, and try to add all signs like in the fansub. Some of the signs I do frame-by-frame, I hope this doesn't cause lags on slow PCs...
ReplyDeletewhy's it 640x480 and 359mb?
ReplyDelete~350Mb per 24-min episode is fine for a DVD rip as far as I'm concerned; there are lots of fast-moving scenes in this show, so the extra bitrate won't hurt. Another question is why 640x480 and not 704x480 anamorphic? I don't know, I would prefer the latter myself, but it's not a big difference.
ReplyDeleteI totally love you guys for doing this <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this show, it's one of my favorites
ReplyDeleteFrame-by-frame signs don't cause too many problems on slow computers (of which mine is a benchmark). It's having numerous lines on the screen, particularly with moving, rotation, color-transformation, or other effects that causes lag. But at 640x480, there still shouldn't be that much lag. The only times I've gotten lag from softsubbed typesetting at 480p were on "walls-of-text" releases like gg's Maria Holic.
