Kaichou wa Maid-sama! BluRay

They make a great couple!

This series was something I wanted to work on for a long time, but if I remember correctly Eclipse never finished with the series. So that and the fact that I was burned out when I worked on Kimi ni Todoke postponed my interest on this. I had the encodes from the Japanese BD release and the extras, but I deleted the source. Then, I decided to get the English BD release and instead use that for the videos. The only problem is that this series is much like Fairy Tail (2009) where it looks like a DVD upscale, therefore I applied similar filters to this release. I cropped it, anti-aliased, deband, and thickened the lines. I hope you like this work, I enjoyed this series, but unfortunately the English dub is quite bad (more so than usual).

Fairy Tail Part 18 (2014) BluRay

For the Lucy fans!

One more volume done and I’m hoping to get the next one done soon. Get the .ass files from the DDL page. Enjoy!

Torrents: anidex

By the way, one of the reasons I upload the .ass files is for people who are having problems with the PGS subs. Consequently, you are able to modify them with a player such as mpv as shown in this comparion. Below is the command-line that I used (default font is Tahoma):

mpv.com --ass-force-style=FontName=Ebrima,FontSize=70 "[tlacatlc6] Fairy Tail S05E29 (BD 1280x720 x264 Dual AAC PGS) [0D4B4D4A].mkv"

Obviously, you can play around with the font size and/or font but it has to be installed on your system in order to be used by mpv. I have not experimented with other players as I use mpv as my main player nowadays. And of course you can modify the script and mux it into the mkv and replace the PGS subs if you so desire, but I won’t help you out there. 😆

Kimi ni Todoke Box 1080p BluRay Batch

So glad I finished this!

After all these years I finally was able to get this batch completed. Sorry it took so long, but quite a lot of things happened. The saying “better late than never” is very appropriate in this case.

Note: Patches are available in the DDL page.

Subs: Eclipse (Season 1), gg (Season 2), Mamiko (Special 1), and Watakushi (Special 2)

Fairy Tail Part 17 (2014) BluRay

Since it was getting interesting!

There were three episodes on the first volume that I forgot to check for errors, so there’s a patch to correct them. Just rename the .ass files to match the new naming and everything should be good. And as with part 16 and season 1, subtitles are on the ddl page.

Fairy Tail Part 16 (2014) BluRay

And so it begins…

Well, what can I say? I wasn’t sure if I should release the new Fairy Tail series, but I figure I should do so to continue with what I started from the beginning with the 2009 version.

PS: It seems no one is interested in my OCR subtitles! 🙁

Very Late Edit: Episodes S05E03, S05E04, and S05E11 have errors but there is a patch in the DDL page to fix them.

s-CRY-ed BluRay

I wished I had completed this earlier.

So a lot of things happened with this series and a lot of time passed since I started working on it. I decided to redo the encodes and only do 720p and not worry about 1080p nor the TrueHD audio, which was nice but very heavy on the file size.

Huge, huge thanks to der_richter who made this possible by helping me get this series completed. You can check out his other great projects at his group Judgment.

Note: There are some short specials from the manga that I’ll release later.

Mushishi Zoku Shou (2014) BluRay

Even Ginko is amazed I completed the series!

So, finally the last episodes of Mushishi Season 2 are finished. One reason this was delayed is because I was waiting to see if Ruell would encode it for me as he did with the first three volumes. Unfortunately, he is very busy with University so I had to stepped in and do the encodes. And obviously the other reason is that I don’t have the time I would like to work on my projects. I hope the naming convention is not controversial but that’s how I’ve decided to name it.
