Open for Business 08 (v2 720p)

Yes that’s right!

According to our 2ch liaison, they accidently aired it in proper HD or something, so a 720p encode is coming right up!

(They reverted to upscaled in episode 9, and they decided to screw with the telecining as well).

EDIT: Oops. I accidently blogged it as episode 07 on TT. I meant episode 08.

EDIT 2: SHAFT are now bringing your their quality animation in HD:

Akikan! OVA

A few notes.

COMPLETELY soft subbed.
Translation from TSSMA.
MASSIVE editing by me.
OP from CoalGuys.
ED from Commie’s translator.

If you want to see the original hard subbed moonrunes in the ED, disable subtitles. I covered them up for the ultimate smooth localised viewing experience.

Blue Literature 05 – In the Woods Beneath the Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom 01

WARNING: This is a bit tl;dr, so I bolded the important points.

Masterpiece‘s subs on an encode that doesn’t suck, signs copied and soft subbed, retimed karaoke, insert song and OP soft subbed, etc. It was quite a bit of effort. Not to mention no lol 7 MB font. No stupid hardsubbing (implying all hard subbing is stupid) or (A)dvanced (F)aggotry e(X)perinece. About the OP karaoke, the show already has a hard subbed one, so if you’re weeaboo enough to want karaoke, you’re weeaboo enough to read the runes. I did include the ED karaoke though.

So basically, I think this show is too good to deserve the hardsubbing and bad encoding that Masterpiece was giving it, but our editor assured me that their subs are top notch (but I still had to edit a few lines), so big thanks to them for the subs. Oh, BTW, if you’re from Masterpiece and you object to us using them, please let us know and we’ll gladly continue doing it (for as long as we need/want to). :)

TL bailed on us after episode 1, so this seemed like the best option, since I have an encode that won’t hurt my eyes along with decent subs to watch, and I’m only posting it as a nice benefit to everyone else.

Yes, that means if you’re gonna flame about stealing subs and how you’re oh too principled to download this release or whatever, then just realise that other people don’t care.

Thanks.

PS. Someone please tell Masterpiece’s encoder about:

• Banding
• Blocking
• VFR
• Grain (particularly how it impacts bitrate requirements)

PPS. After watching, it seems relevant to my interests, since it appears to explore belonging.

Book of Bantorra 08

18 hour-ish release, even without a capper. For some reason Perfect Dark was being really fast today.
