Thank you, a rare source
The Toei episodes? Sweet!
Alright, I have a few answers to your questions. This is 800x600 because it’s a VHS rip from a leaked advanced screening. There’s obvious VHS degradation, but over all the tapes are very well stored. At the start of episode 13, shortly before the VHS plays there is a screen that quickly flashes (https://reddit.com/r/translator/comments/fau83h/japanese_english_seemingly_an_old_ad_from_a/) after being translated, we can see this is an advanced screening from Asahi Television. The shortening and weird parts of some OP’s could be because these were made for a test screening, it could be later changes, broadcast time limits or to track leaks. As for the 24bit FLAC, this is from a broadcasters professional tape which has higher quality video and audio then normal tapes. This answers the same question on why so many of the tapes were in amazing condition, they have dedicated storage at major TV companies to store these relics. ImpatientRaws well, I have no clue. Probably a release group with some connections on the inside. With that being said, this is cremelcropè rare. I only have 22% of the torrent done and it seems like it’s being peer flooded. So please, seed your torrent. Your paused if you didn’t know. Or upload the season to some direct download site like MEGA. This is truly a piece of history and the highest quality we’ll ever get besides a better encode from our source, direct scans of the animation frames or a proper remaster Thank you - H

@JoestarsAngelo, thank you very much for answering my questions! uTorrent says I'm seeding, so I'm not sure about that. I'll try to upload a DDL somewhere if I can. =) It still says I'm seeding... hmm ![Torrent-Pro-3-5-5-build-45449-32-bit-2-28-2020-6-13-29-PM.png](https://i.postimg.cc/y8tXqHDY/Torrent-Pro-3-5-5-build-45449-32-bit-2-28-2020-6-13-29-PM.png)
@davFaithid Thank you so much for replying! A DDL link would be great. I’m going to chat to some people on IRC, browse a few Usenet groups and old torrent sites and see what I can dig up. I’ll let you know if I find anything.
@davFaithid IDK what’s going on with your uTorrent, here are some pictures I just took of my view: https://imgur.com/a/ZTL9dqZ (Imgur made it look weird) Uncompressed Mirror: https://ibb.co/wdnJGmj https://ibb.co/C2ZH9qR

hmm, that is strange
If you get around to uploading it for DDL, I’m thinking of trying to somewhat remaster it. It’s easy to chuck the raws into Video2x and wait for them to process with Waifu2x or Anime4K, but fixing the tape degradation is going to be incredibly hard.

@JoestarsAngelo Would uploading the ddl into 7z parts be okay? Its too big elsewise
@davFaithid That would be absolutely fine! As long as the links works and download at decent speeds.

I'm uploading to zippyshare. It might take a while. When they are done, I'll add them to the OP. I'm still confused on the whole seeding issue.
I feel you man, I still much prefer torrents due to there decentralised nature. Have you tried a different torrent client like qBitorrent or Deluge?

davFaithid (uploader)

User
I do have qBittorrent, so I will try to seed on that Not sure why I didn't think of that haha It's not doing anything ![q-Bittorrent-v4-2-1-2-28-2020-7-06-33-PM.png](https://i.postimg.cc/4yHdCPK9/q-Bittorrent-v4-2-1-2-28-2020-7-06-33-PM.png)
Everything is obvious in hindsight :shrug:
Hmmm, I wish I had an answer for you but I don’t. When I get the DDL I’m downloading it ASAP, putting it on the 5TB data hoarder drive and mirroring it to as many file hosts as possible then posting links. I might try making a torrent with it myself for you if your having so many strange issues.

I checked my VPN, and data is uploading so I'm not sure why neither seem to actually be seeding. And zippyshare seems to be stuck at an eternal 0% for everything A quick google search brought up "File Dropper", which was a 5GB file limit. So that should work =)
@davFaithid try uploading the files to mega.nz, large encrypted file host that can support the entire folder instead of split parts with fast download speeds. 5GB a day download limit per IP but can be bypassed with MegaBasterd.
Any progress on the uploads?

Its uploading... a bit slowly, but it is uploading Right now its at about 2.5GB
Good to hear, thanks for the update chief. (Keeping an eye on the right now uploaded)

It's almost done...
Also, let me know if you have an email, discord etc I can reach you at. I want to chat.
9.58GB Uploaded so far

User
It seems to have uploaded fully (I think) Also: I have a yopmail, so no real way of chatting, sorry
Yup, full upload and I've got it all DL'd. Big TY for this. @davFaithid I've started working on mirrors.

davFaithid (uploader)

User
@JoestarsAngelo are there any mirrors online so far?
I've long given hope on getting a hold of this series raw (or at least without hardsubs), but here comes our savior, davFaithid-sama, bestowing this release upon us... THANK YOU my master! If you also get the movie (Red-Eyes Black Dragon one), then you'll transcend to God status. Once again, thank you!

@SoulBurner, no problem mate =). I do have a DM-RAW LD Release, and I would be happy to release it Is this what you were talking about? ![mpv-shot0031.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/9Mnh7S1X/mpv-shot0031.jpg)
Hey man, sorry. It was pretty late last night when I typed that so I set it to upload to a few file hosts and went to sleep, turns out my VPN crashed like mid way through and I just realised now when I’ve woken up. So yeah, it’s happening. Just got unlucky.

@JoestarsAngelo No sweat, mate
@JoestarsAngelo "This is 800x600 because it’s a VHS rip from a leaked advanced screening" - No. Episode 13 is just a TVrip of the original broadcast, not "advanced screenings". Warner Brothers had nothing to do with this series so that short flash at the start was most likely from a movie broadcast which was then taped over. The source being 800x600 has nothing to do with it either, along with the fake pseudo FLAC. VHS tapes aren't digital don't store digital video. None of this release is original and it's all just re-encodes of ancient AVI raws that have been online for years. Much better sources are already out there and this is a bit of a hack job with upscaled video and audio. I don't mean to attack you or anyone, I just wanted to clear that up and I hope that sheds some light on what these actually are.

Sadly, that makes all too much sense. ImpatientRaws were a re-encode group probably. That explains my private suspicions on the Season 1 raws how they look very similar to the DVD raws. I was even thinking of pointing that out, as maybe it wasn't a real ImpatientRaws release, if they were truly an in-group leaking stuff from Toei. Well, on the bright side, at least the raws are pretty good looking, if that's any consolation. @AwfulCaps, what are these "ancient AVI raws" that you speak of? I would like to see them =) I guess it's all fine and good since these are pretty much as they say they are. Raws of Yugioh Season Zero in a ridiculous size. My deepest apologies to anyone who thought that these were an advanced screening VHS.
@AwfulCaps, pretty cringe bro ngl. Let's start off with your claim of "psuedo-flac". I find it funny you'd say this before taking a look in a spectrum analyzer. Open spek and weep. Ah yes, a taped over movie with the phrases "106-8001 (zip code) Asahi Television" and "Roppongi advanced film screening", Roppongi is coincidentally where Asahi Television has it's HQ :thinking: Dunno about that one chief Woah bro, isn't it kind of strange how TV Asahi never aired any movies? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Asahi That's kinda weird my dude, along with the fact it also only specifically aired on TV Asahi. > he source being 800x600 *600x800 >has nothing to do with it either, along with the fake pseudo FLAC. The spectrum analyzer disagrees > VHS tapes aren’t digital don’t store digital video. Are you slow? I never claimed they did, this is an obvious digital capture. >None of this release is original and it’s all just re-encodes of ancient AVI raws that have been online for years. Much better sources are already out there and this is a bit of a hack job with upscaled video and audio. Let's get a source for those AVI raws, if there are some legit AVI raws with the same degradation this release is "based off", I'd love to see it my man!
> Upscaling a DVD rip from 576P to 800p then to a lower file size Perfect sense.
Anyway, I found some videos featuring the raws for Episode 13 as early back as 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rtjdeSHR-Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIdhZc2dpl4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umW-CPsSzoI
Aaand, I took the clown pill and it does not taste nice: https://mega.nz/#F!AhMwxb4R!WHU6jg-Qsx5_cC9EBBin7Q Here are the original raws, VHS degradation matches up. Default audio bitrate for VHS is 384KBPS so ofc it shows like that in the spectrum analyzer. No clue on the advanced screening shit, enjoy. (It's at times like these I thank myself for creating throwaway accounts.)
Think before you speak. Glad I could clear that all up.
Bit passive aggressive ay? Congrats, you won an argument with a complete stranger on a public anime tracker over VHS Raws for an over 20 year old show. @AwfulCaps

@JoestarsAngelo, I made an upscale of the first episode's raw. I was wondering if you had any recommendations on it (my first time upscaling video) https://mega.nz/#!jBcmnKiB!3sIxTwbfGmX5cfcR0yjVfJO-omSpGBC0OYGekriWFTc ![frame-1357.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/dVTvvm8Z/frame-1357.jpg) ![mpv-shot0034.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/JhV8hDq6/mpv-shot0034.jpg)
Now this is the good stuff :D Also, seeing XViD in 2020. Damn, time surely flies by!
Any chance someone could point me at some subs for this?

davFaithid (uploader)

User
@whereswarren I know there's some subs from Tv-Nihon All I can find are already hardcoded subs, however.
I rememeber seeing a torrent for this gem on Asian DVD Club. I don't remember the size, but I know it was big because at the time I couldn't spend my buffer, since I was downloading other stuff. I'm pretty sure the source was there and the picture quality was a stright rip from a high quality VHS. Anyway... R.I.P. Asian DVD Club. And thanks for this, davFaithid.
Me too. I hope someone downloaded those dvds from adc and maybe one day they will upload them here
Its not downloading via Torrent and Mega's folder is empty. :(
