Chrono Crusade

Release Info:
Video : 704×480 H.264 10-bit crf 15
Audio : Japanese 2.0 Vorbis
Subtitles : English Subtitles (R1 source) restyle + retime + minor edits.

Torrens : Ep 01.

I don’t really have anything to say about this, except that this was a freakin’ IVTC nightmare. And because of that, no DVD releases of this so far that I know of did the IVTC correctly. Even I’m not sure I got it 100% correct, but at least much better than what’s available.

And as usual, my release kept the grainy look. If you don’t like grains, you might do well getting other release. (But then you’d have to live with overall inferior video)

Also, the Azmaria’s lessons will be released every two episodes.

“RIDER KIIIIICK!!!”

Release Info:
Video : 1280×720 H.264 10-bit crf 17
Audio : Japanese 5.1 Vorbis
Subtitles : English Subtitles (R1 source) restyle + retime.

Torrents: Ep 01Ep 02.

I did a lot of experiments on this so it took quite long. Not to mention my old laptop broke, so I took quite a long time before putting this out.

Filesize is large for a 30-mins 720p, but considering the amount of action scenes and the amount of grains present, I would think that the size is justifiable. Also, if there’s any shittyness (banding, aliasing) still present, blame the BD. I tried fixing them up as best as I could, but some sections may still look shitty (Though if I may say so myself, some sections look better than the source).

Some planned stuff.

This will also cover an update to this post. Holiday’s here, ADC’s on freeleech, and I’m at home with a somewhat faster connection (it’s only 3mbps ADSL tho), so I can probably get some more raws. I posted this so that if someone’s interested in helping me with any of them, they can contact me ASAP. With that said, here’s a few stuff that I would like to do, sorted by priority from highest.

Anyone have R2 DVDs of Chrno Crusade and Welcome to NHK?

Well, Boogie’s not done yet and it will still be a while considering how busy I am watching anime with univ, but thought I’d post this anyway. Looking for R2 DVDISOs for:
1. Chrno Crusade
Of the rips available, I can only find COR version, and KAA version. COR version looks like ass, KAA looks acceptable but seems like they used old x264 build which causes corruption on seek (no, I’m not using VLC fyi). So I want to make a better rip, but sadly I can’t acquire the raws. I have only up to disc 4 out of 12 + ZERO, which I managed to acquire via DDL, which are sadly deleted so I can’t get the next discs. There’s a torrent available, but it’s going ridiculously slow. Like, 5 kB/s average a day at most? To make it worse, even the R2 DVDISO torrent on ADC is dead. If anyone’s got the R2 discs and able to upload DVDISO, I will appreciate it if you would upload them somewhere.

2. Welcome to NHK
Oyasumi looks bad but I quite like the subs, Exiled-Destiny looks somewhat better, but E-D is generally bad anyway so yeah. I cannot find any R2 DVDISO of this other than one on ADC, and I believe most of them are dead anyway.

Please note that even of you do upload them, I don’t know when I’ll be able to work on them, I’m rather serious when I said I’m busy with univ life, and working with everything by myself really takes time, so don’t get your hopes up. Especially since both are 20+ episodes. But I assure you, if you do upload the ISOs, and I got the time to work on them, I guarantee I’ll make a much better quality release than what’s available.

TIA.

EDIT: I decided to do Chrno Crusade up to disc 4 + ZERO once Boogie’s done. After that, I can’t continue unless someone decided to provide the ISOs.
