Thanks! Where can I find the R3T remux? Also, subs for the Hades OVAs would be appreciated.

@H94 I'll start with the Hades OVAs as soon as R3T remux is up, right now it's still not available. Copying my comment from another post so others can see: Here are 3 sample episodes, as they vary. Everything is synced to the R3T DVDs. Episodes have: ∙Dubbings: Japanese (R3T & Blu-Ray) (Broadcast audio 39&40) Chinese (R3T) English (Netflix & ADV 1->60) French (Blu-Ray) Spanish (Blu-Ray Latin America & Spain) Brazilian Portuguese (Blu-Ray Álamo & DVD Gota Mágica) ∙Subtitles: VobSubs Chinese VobSubs English (ADV 1->60) SRT Japanese SRT English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese (Netflix) SRT French ASS French, Spanish (FanSubs) All subtitles are for ???????? ????? ∙Chapters: Opening -> Part A -> Part B -> Ending -> Next Episode Preview ▶ Episode 01 【 https://mega.nz/file/fINXCCzA#dq_-WzX6BIRVCe_6haNRL1Pp6Oa5ZK8uD-o1BfcppOs 】 〖 https://pastebin.com/raw/4Y8guWxa 〗 ▶ Episode 40 【 https://mega.nz/file/zRUVyQqJ#4-QtHuDsAf_kYCMjEHhogrpYE_9HtD4V4yuH8U1FU-c 】 〖 https://pastebin.com/raw/ZjcwC40H 〗 ▶ Episode 61 【 https://mega.nz/file/DZM2VQZL#wPnunilcmrnzuJD3JwPxl48R6CGkxA__Klo41Rsk_-U 】 〖 https://pastebin.com/raw/fQ9cFs4d 〗 File size is huge due to keeping everything lossless ~300gb, can’t seed alone. Use ddl links when it first appears, but you promise to join the pool of seeders after ok? Ok. Else the torrent will be dead on arrival. It will be up as soon as ddl links are all available.

Looking forward for those R3T rips. ? Shame about the audio, they all sound kinda muffled. :-/

Blame Toei for that. They threw away the audio master tapes. Would be great if someone could find the broadcast audio one day.

This is a mega effort @D4C !!! Unfortunately I do not have space to store all this however thank you very much for that ?

Thank you so much for sharing!

Dude, can you share the R3T DVD ISOs? That'd be awesome, too.

@Impakt I have the entire r3t isos (since the period in the deceased ADC ) and not only that, I also keep some 'unusual' things about it. I hadn't said anything about it so as not to discourage the guy who was uploading the Netflix seasons, since I still wanted that version complete for my collection (I love collecting rarities that are then lost in time)

Not trying to spam this but.. I found an R3T encode on xdcc https://nibl.co.uk/bots.php?search=%5BYurasyk%5D+Saint+Seiya

@H94 There are two more episodes that have broadcast audio (4 in total that I have seen) out there but the torrents are dead. I'm willing to bet someone must have the rest of the recordings, but who knows if they are interested in sharing/recording them. @Rafawell No problem, hopefully someone makes a reencode. @UltimateFighter Enjoy! @Impakt/@wolfness I got no problem with sharing them as well, but I'd have to do it after the remux and do the same thing for them. So if wolfness can/wants to share them please do. @SSJLuffy I saw them on the other post as well, nice find! Those break Nyaa.si rules though so be careful not to reupload them here. I was planning to sync all tracks to the reencode and share it on any tracker that doesn't have resolution limits later. In case anyone wants to watch them as soon as remux is up, pretty sure you would just have to delay tracks. The problem is you're going to need close to a tb of space in total.

I'm in no rush to get the ISOs. Take your time. I've realized that sometimes what we want takes years, and that's okay.

I downloaded one of the episodes of the original broadcast that someone uploaded here and I can assure you guys the audio sounds 95% the same as any other dvd/br jp audio.

What if someone tried to clean up the audio to sound somewhat better? FUNimation did it for _Dragon Ball Z_ and it sounded less muffled, and more acceptable.

I mean it would be a work of love, and done by somebody who really knows their stuff. I know the difference between the broadcast audio and home video audio for DBZ is abysmal, so that's why it was a no brainer to choose one over the other. But for Saint Seiya, I don't think it's the same case... No clue as to why.

* They may also work with the Japanese Blu-Ray or R2J. I tried on the Netflix episodes which got released here, and they work fine, atleast the very first 10 minutes because since Netflix eps are missing the eyecatches, that usually pop-ups at that minute, subtitles comes later past that point, but, nonetheless, thanks a lot for this release, I always wanted to watch this series with proper english subs, since we know that all sites have terrible adapted subs but, with this now the series is finally enjoyable! So thank you a lot @D4C ?. Also, I wanted to ask if you will also provide in the future subs of the movies and the hades saga as well?

@Impakt Teammirolo said they did some filtering on their release of Dragon Ball's broadcast audio using iZotope, but it was only on some NEP's. No idea what the process is or how much work it would take for whole episodes, I don't know much about audio though so I'm probably not the right person for that. @Juni-Anker Watching ep 40 I agree the difference is not as big as DB's audios, but I do feel like it is clearer. I could just be making the false association because one is louder than the other though. @m199x No problem! Yes once I get all the R3T up I'll start on the Hades OVA and after that's done the movies. Also, they will desync with Netflix version because of eyecatches. You would need to use them with the raw R2J or BD, Kagura's release for example. Use the untouched Netflix subs posted by Impakt (https://nyaa.si/view/1265911) with the Netflix video, those should sync.

@D4C That's good to know, once again thank you a lot :D !

Btw I'm curious about the Hades ovas project. I know there's an Spaniard (and probably French) release in Blu-ray, and someone even uploaded HD versions here in h265, but I read some reviews (anime DVD pages) saying it was 1080i and not 1080p. Would that release be DVD sourced then?

@Juni-Anker, as far as I know, it's an HD remaster provided by Toei themselves. I own the Spanish BD release of the Hades OVAs, and they look surprisingly good, enough to make me wonder if they were originally rendered at a higher resolution than 480i. The video is interlaced because there are many digital effects that were done at a higher framerate than 24 fps, so a conversion to 1080p would lead to missing frames and jerky motion.

@Zhou thank you for shedding some light on this. I wouldn't be surprised if those remasters look good actually since it was all digital already.

@m199x Glad to be of help, enjoy! @Juni-Anker I could use the Spanish BD or the DVDs (currently have the ones by Towers Entertainment, haven't really looked too hard for the Japanese ones). I was hoping someone would know more about the Spanish release so thank @Zhou for that! I'd say using Spanish BD would be the best, since Hades was done around 2002 it shouldn't have the "problems" remastered 1980's animes do. Although most of the time it's the fault of whoever did the remaster using a horrendous process like with the Orange Bricks.

Thanks a lot! btw could you rip the netflix spanish subtitles for the 1972 mazinger anime?

@titoloco Sure, but why stop at the subtitles? I'll do a whole release for the anime.

@D4C well damn that would be amazing!

I'm very happy to see these because I wanted a decent English dub. There's only an issue: the English dub is off sync. I noticed most episodes are like 500 ms off in the beginning, but after the break in each episode this runs up to over a second. Do you have a fix or an idea how I can fix it?

I noticed it's not in all episodes. Check ep 42.

Better late than never, but which version did you sink these subs to? They are only for japanese audio, so they won't match any other dub. I went through a few chapter from my release, all seem to match up good and I don't remember there being any problem.
