# [Update: May 2022: Pls read my last comment about softsub] ---  Minasan Kon'nichiwa, Welcome to my homage to Digimon. When I wanted to rewatch the OG Digimon shows, either I couldn't properly find them cuz they were all scattered around or I didn't like the encodes available. So I compiled this collection from all the best available sources & made some changes according to my personal preference. Be warned though, the changes I made may not be to your liking. Thanks to the Source Rippers/Encoders/Subbers. (Mentioned at each individual sections) Things to know before downloading - * This is not a dual audio release, only Japanese audio. Not really a fan of dubs. * Filters are applied with Avisynth where I thought applicable/necessary. But do note that my knowledge on avisynth is very limited, so I just worked with what I know. * I've hardcoded the subtitles. I know this is a major deal breaker, but with the amount of work I put in modifying the subs and with the high number of fonts used, it was much easier for me to just hardsub to avoid any playback issues. Sorry about that. * All audio tracks are converted to AC3 224k (for 2.0 ch) and AC3 448k (for 5.1 ch). * I've uploaded a few episodes from each show to a DDL at the end, to help you decide whether you wanna get this release or not. --- # ***`<<<<<-VIDEO->>>>>`*** --- **Digimon Adventure** Source: [CXRAW](https://nyaa.si/view/888526) | BD 1080p 4:3 Filter: CXRAW is the best available source for 01. But it has minor-medium chroma bleeding, the lines look really thin and the overall image just looks really dull. Add to that the smudgyness of the BDs due to bad upscaling. I removed the bleeding, thickened the lines & applied a couple other filters for preference. Nothing I could really do about the smudgyness though. But at least now it looks a little bit better to me. (Also, in episode 1, the faraway scenes look REALLY washed out. The filters do help those scenes but not much. Same thing in a couple other episodes.) Comparisons: [CXRAW vs 2DS](https://slow.pics/c/qqO23UqO) (7 screenshots) (focus around the lines)  --- **Digimon Adventure 02** Source: [FYRAW](https://nyaa.si/view/812822) | BD 1080p 4:3 Filter: For 02 there are FYRAW and CXRAW. FYRAW has vibrant colors & CXRAW has 'bland' colors. I've chosen FYRAW bcuz out of the 4 shows, 02 has the most bland looking colors to begin with (other 3 shows are very colorful). So, I couldn't go with CXRAW. Now... FYRAW looks pretty bad, MAJOR chroma bleeding, super blurry image, the lines look really unclear/unfocused & of course the smudgyness from bad upscaling. I applied a plethora of filters to fix all of these (minus the smudgyness)... make it at least watchable to my eyes. The result... I'm quite happy with it. Comparisons: [FYRAW vs 2DS](https://slow.pics/c/oo1HYi1F) (7 screenshots)  (Here's [CXRAW vs 2DS](https://slow.pics/c/5h0BqZS8) (7 screenshots) if you wanna see the color difference. If you prefer CXRAW, you can always get them from [VeloEncodes' release](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=veloencodes+digimon).) --- **Digimon Tamers** Source: [CXRAW](https://nyaa.si/view/1031323) | BD 1080p 4:3 Filter: These look really good. Nowhere near as bad as 01 or 02. Also, the smudgyness is no more, thank God. The lines look a bit blurry & washed out - Fixed. Comparisons: [CXRAW vs 2DS](https://slow.pics/c/2tkoPzaM) (5 screenshots)  --- **Digimon Frontier** Source: [CXRAW](https://nyaa.si/view/1146662) | BD 1080p 4:3 Filter: Same as Tamers. Looks really good. No smudgyness, again thank God. The lines look a bit blurry & aliased - Fixed. Comparisons: [CXRAW vs 2DS](https://slow.pics/c/LiVvQdKo) (3 screenshots)  --- **Digimon Movies** For the 4 shows, there are a total of 7 movies. Movies 1 & 2 => Adv 01, Movies 3 & 4 => Adv 02, Movies 5 & 6 => Tamers, Movie 7 => Frontier Movies 1 - 4: Source - [Aznable](https://nyaa.si/view/881402) | BD 1080p Filter: This is the highest quality source I could find for these movies. The 1st movie (Gekijouban) is CEL animated & there's literally ZERO flaws. The remaining 3 movies are, I think, CEL animated. But they're not perfect like the 1st one. Slight chroma bleeding & haloing - Fixed. Movies 5 - 7: Source - [Fullmetal](https://nyaa.si/view/1255921) | BD 1080p Filter: Unfortunately I couldn't find any good sources for these 3 movies. Fullmetal's release was the only 1080p release I could find. But these are heavily encoded, so using these as source is not a good idea. So... using avs I managed to put some life into these encodes. Halos around the lines - Fixed. Added grains to smooth out the leftover patches of grains from Fullmetal's initial encoding. --- **Digimon Adventure Tri.** Source: [Koten Gars](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=koten+digimon) | BD 1080p Filter: Best source I could find. There are 6 movies. The 1st one has haloing & oversharped lines - Fixed. As for the remaining 5, just did some slight filtering for preference.  --- **Digimon Adventure 20th Anniversary Memorial Story** Source: [RyRo](https://nyaa.si/view/1326642) | 1080p Filter: The lines had slight blue chroma bleed - Fixed. --- **Digimon Adventure Last Evolution Kizuna** Source: [JP BDMV](https://nyaa.si/view/1276554) | BD 1080p Filter: The lines looked a little bit aliased - Fixed. --- # ***`<<<<<-SUBTITLE->>>>>`*** --- **Digimon Adventure / 02 / Tamers / Frontier** Digimon Adventure - Source: [RyRo + Shadowfox](https://nyaa.si/view/1242353) Digimon Adventure 02 - Source: [Positron-Puto](https://nyaa.si/view/137537) Digimon Tamers - Source: [Wildbunch-PLSP-card](https://nyaa.si/view/923133) Digimon Frontier - Source: [Positron-LS](https://nyaa.si/view/352656) I'm not very good at fansubbing, but I just could not get on board with the state of these subs as they are. So I made some modifications of my own. I went through all the sub files one by one & made the following changes - *Re-Typesetting:* I manually reapplied typesetting to all Signs, Titles, NEP-Titles etc. & restyled all the dialogues as well.    For the dialogues, I've used the same style with a different color for each. (Left to Right - Adventure to Frontier)  *Re-Sync:* The subs were not made for the BDs, so they don't always properly sync up with them. Especially the Signs/Titles. They are almost never frame-perfect, almost always 1-5 frames desynced. Shadowfox did an excellent job at frame-perfectly syncing the Adv-01 subs (so all I did for 01 was just typesetting). Unfortunately there was no one like Shadowfox for the other 3 shows. Or if there is, I don't know about them. For 02, the dialogues seem to work rather well with the BDs, so not much work there, just frame-perfectly synced up the Signs & Titles. For Tamers, the dialogues were almost always 30-35 frames (approx 1s) desynced & the NEP-dialogues were desynced by twice that time. For Frontier, some episodes were synced up & some not. Anyways, I synced up everything as much as I could. The Signs & Titles are now frame-perfect & the dialogues should be okay too. *Karaoke:* This is a completely new addition by me. How can I, in my right mind, ignore KOUJI WADA's Legendary Songs. There are 4 Opening songs & 8 Ending songs in total. I've applied Karaoke to all of them.   --- **Digimon Movies** Source: [Fullmetal's release](https://nyaa.si/view/1255921) Original Source: The same groups that did the shows a.k.a RyRo/Positron/Puto/Wildbunch/PLSP Like before, I restyled/retypeset everything. --- **Digimon Adventure Tri.** Source: [Koten Gars](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=koten+digimon) (writing in image for character limit)    --- **Digimon Adventure 20th Anniversary Memorial Story** Source: [RyRo](https://nyaa.si/view/1326642) Just applied typesetting to all the signs.  --- **Digimon Adventure Last Evolution Kizuna** Source: [Kizuna Subs](https://nyaa.si/view/1322256) (writing in image for character limit)   --- ### ***`Watching Order`***  --- DDL: `aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWdhLm56L2ZvbGRlci81cnhXR0lRSyNpUGtOQ1JEN2lHYmxEM1BVZ0ptU0F3` (copy-paste in base64decode) *Sorry for not doing Savers & Xros Wars. Never liked them much. But since they are more modern anime, I'm sure there are good releases of them available everywhere.* ***Enjoy*** ---
