Behold! Riki-Oh OVA 1 and 2 for your fighting entertainment!
About this project
------------------
This wasn't planned at all. I stumbled upon one of those packs by tyerggh on Nyaa and thought it would be a fun little project to do since there was only one English release by BluDragon and another from an anon with English and Spanish subtitles. For the sake of consistency I decided to make my own release with the only purpose of preserving the more obscure or less known anime.
What's done
-----------
As with other projects in the past, every line of dialogue was done using what was available. For OVA1, I used the VobSub file which I'm assuming it's the official translation since everything looked ok to me and only a few editing tweaks were made such as signs and adding honorifics. For OVA2 I had a little more work since the English script available was translated from the Spanish one and was a bit of a hot mess in some areas, especially the timecodes. As usual I went through every line of dialogue, editing and revising as needed, cutting or merging lines, adjusting timecodes and such. It's far from perfect mind you but it's much more enjoyable to watch now and if anyone wants to make a better release it's a starting point. There might be some errors present, one man army here. The audio/video is pretty decent for what it is and the difference in filesize, I'm guessing, is due to higher bitrate on OVA1. I didn't encode or re-encode any of this just like my previous releases, I just take care of subtitles and muxing.
What's not done
---------------
Everything has been done for this project. If a better source pops up some day, I might update it. If anyone wants to be kind enough (once again!) and add this release to AniDB, please do so. Place it under the group peachflavored.
