Futakoi Alternative update
I'm not quite dead yet! Though a bit busy lately. Anyway ->
Short story:
Futakoi Alternative will soon be continued using a new encode from DVDISO source. There'll be v2 for episodes 1-5.
Long story:
The reason for the new encode is the framerate. The video quality of the raws I used was good, the only problem was that they had 29.97 fps and the frames went like "12344567889" (every 5th frame is a duplicate). This caused a little strobe effect during movement, most noticeable in scenes with moving signs.
The purpose of the new rip is to fix this. Most episodes can be completely decimated to 23.976 fps; some episodes have progressive sequences and so they will be done as VFR. Otherwise, the new rip should have similar video quality as the old one (screen comparison to make sure). The video is unfiltered.
I also bumped the video resolution to 712x476 (screw mod16), removed some interlacing artifacts in episode 1, included the untouched AC3 audio, used x264 crf 13 which gave an average video bitrate of 1464 kb/s, and included k-timing from Zalis starting from the first episode.
Big thanks to uboa for providing the DVDISOs.
New specs:
Video: x264 712x476 4:3 23.976 fps 1218-1859 kb/s (crf 13)
Audio: AC3 2.0 192kb/s
Subtitles: English styled softsubs (translation by AnimeYuki)
Screen comparison with AnimeYuki TV rip
Changing the frame rate destroyed my scenetiming, and Aegisub resolution resampling damaged sign positioning, so I now need some time to fix the subs for episodes 1-5. Episode 6 is already done. Expect the new release before the end of this week.
And yeah... sorry for v2s. I don't like them too. But this show deserves it.

D.C. Da Capo 10/26
The amount of signs in this episode almost makes me feel like I'm doing another Futakoi Alternative episode.
Anyway, 10 is a good number to take a short break. I'll be busy with some other work starting tomorrow, so there will no more releases from me for some time.
