WE’RE WORKING ON IT OK
We’ve started getting a bunch of them encoded, and are retiming, identifying missing bits (even on the BC-containing episodes, there is missing stuff; that’s right, the blu-rays have even MORE content than the Bandai Channel versions)
After spending a long time looking through the episodes trying to find a reason to justify a larger resolution, we have for now ended up with our encode being, once again, 848 x 480. However, do not fret, because this is one GOOD looking video even so, and you will find we are completely right at this scale; if you double it, it looks the same quality wise as you would have gotten if we had released it as “HD”. It actually looks quite nice in 2x resolution mode in MPC, as you’ll find out. It’s technically HD, but it is indistinguishable from 2x SD so… yeah. Watch at 2x resolution, get the exact same quality for the a smaller file size. Perfect.
Episode 1 is in particular turning out to be a bitch since I have to go through every episode BUT episode 1, since our TL turned out lol, thanks to Japanese being lol. Trying to translate a context based language in an episode with a ton of shit without context??? It didn’t end well. Plus there are at least 40 or 50 new lines of dialogue compared to the TV version, so…
