Oh my god

i like balls

[Arids-Balls] when?

it is in the process of being worked on

@mcbaws21 when? any set release date? I’ve watch the anime already back when i still download retarded shits from kissanime? Was hoping to get this new release a look lol maybe a year or so.

no set date because our work schedule is not stable, we’re both busy with irl stuff. though we have been considering releasing episodes in volumes.
btw i also originally watched eva on kissanime lol

Baw Da Baw Baw Baw, I’m Lovin’ It!

How much did Datte13’s release differ from this beyond the encode and ADV FLAC? That’s what I currently have archived. Wonder why they deleted it.

Anyways, thanks @mcbaws21.

datte’s release modded dekinai (crazy high effort i know) to include sephirotic’s OP styling, and also restyled all dialogue to ghandi sans. only issue was that the restyling (allegedly) messed with some typesetting. this release also differs in the fact i spliced fmttm into the netflix dub.

idk why he deleted it, although you can still get his release off ab

@herkz

Sir please do seperate HEVC release for your updated arid balls

@DeathStroke refer to “why didn’t you pick [insert encode here]?” section of faq

FYI I’m trying to coordinate a new amalgamated English subtitle collated from the best bits of each of the previous translations since for example, utterly borked handling of tone aside, there are some ‘small-talk’ dialogue sections (i.e. not plot related) in the new Netflix translation that seem to make more sense in context than any of the previous releases. Yes, I’m aware there’s been plenty of similar projects before - I plan to use crowdsourced submissions from /m/ to avoid my own bias + ideally a couple of non-US English editors to counterbalance strong American input yankifying it & I think that plus the nuances made more obvious by placing all the previous translations side-by-side line-by-line should make contentious lines more obvious and hopefully lead to a (more) definitive result than past releases. Soon also going to be helping a dude do a shot-by-shot composite of episode 16 with the best sources available for each shot. Going to try and avoid Sephirotic-style quality loss by working with CRF=0 transcodes of said sources if at all possible. Will be a good year or so before the former is done to an acceptable standard though.

ab

please sir i don’t have a toilet

@Rrobynne please message me on discord at McBaws#8505, i’m working on something similar. i also have some criticisms of your methodology

@ab i just made his release obsolete with this one so it doesn’t really matter anyways

Based faq, thank you balls

Crowdsourcing is dubious at the best of times, but using /m/ as a sounding board is downright laughable. There’s no reason to trust anonymous ‘’‘experts’’’ over having one or two good editors pick through it with a fine toothed comb like arid and baws are already doing

quality loss by working with CRF=0 transcodes of said sources

LMAO pls use x264/x265 lossless mode from NVEnc encode or yuv (y4m) stream in vapoursynth.

do none of you know a tlc or something why throw together random bits and pieces

@govna ikik, but not really my goal for this release

Just buy the USBD lol

PS: Nice balls

Wasn’t Datte13’s subs a combination of Dekinai and Sephirotic with some TS fixes for each? I know I contributed to reporting some issues for v2/v3 patches and uploaded some fixes not included (for an OP that was broken). I think including the latest patched version as the primary default would have been better than each unedited track individually. :( Or at least would be a good base to work off of for Arid-Baws definitive edition.

@Mabby We are using datte as a base. fyi, the only changes datte made was restlying the dialogue to ghandi sans and replacing the kfx in the op. i remember there were ts issues caused by that restyling though, so i ended up not using it for this low effort mux cause i didnt feel like fixing those issues.

@mcbaws21 Ah, I see. Well in case you don’t already have it, here are the subs with the latest patches and fixes. No signs track, just the full English subtitles from Datte13. I applied all the public patches and fixed remaining issues that were in the comments. Unfortunately I don’t remember if there was anything else that I or others reported that still needed attention and the comment section is now gone. The only thing I can recall is the OP being broken in 21’ that I did end up posting a fixed file for. After all the patches, I believe most of the TS problems were resolved, but haven’t gone through and done a full QC since.

searching “[McBalls] Neon Genesis Evangelion (BD 1080p Hi10 FLAC)” in alt.binaries.multimedia.anime.highspeed should also have it come up

Will wait for better version of this!

I hope you can do Rebuild Evangelion as well once 4.44 BD’s are out!

[Arid-Baws] when?

@Deago 20 years with no chance of parole

does german bluray release change anything?

new bluray release has lossless audio for netflix and adv, but that’s it.

oh i had no clue germany wasn’t the only country to get a new bd release. i just saw german blurays getting uploaded to acm so i assumed. i see that on ab the new region a blurays are tagged as remastered. are you sure that the video is the same and not possibly better than old japanese source? also, i know it’s probably only adding to the pile of work and you have better stuff to do, but if i provided the german dts-hd ma could you mux it in instead of the dvd audio i provided a while ago?

i can get ahold of it myself, dw about it. as for the video, it’s identical. i’m not sure what my plans will be for including dubs, probably just english dubs for the main release. i might release the rest of the dubs separately or in some form of collector’s edition release, idk.

sorry, i assumed that was set in stone lol. my bad. well, sephirotic would have taken much of the work off your hands for many of the other languages. if you are gonna do it, i’d be eternally thankful:)

The American bd edition has a copy of the video from the Japanese bd edition, but encoded with a lower (about 30 -31 mbits vs 36 - 40 for the Japanese) bitrate. But the US edition has one big plus. A lot of sd resolution bonuses. In the Japanese edition, they were interpolated in terrible 1080 quality.

nice, I’ll download them for the specials then

Dynit is making a BD edition, which will be the best as always. Wait for the BDMV.

@Interruptor I’m pretty sure it’s already out? If we’re talking about the same BD, I’ve already seen it, and it’s identical to the JPBD. I would probably still prefer Yurasyk’s filtering over whatever Dynit would have done if they did improve the source anyways.

@Interruptor The Dynit BD is worse than the GKids Blu-Ray. It has worse bitrates and compression in motion compared to the US BD. First BD in a while (aside from Inuyasha) where the encoding is worse than the US release

😭😭😭

so uhm is this the best release in nyaa right now?

Unless you want to download the 200gb GKIDS BDRemux or wait for future releases, than this is the best release of Evangelion at the moment

Would you be willing to include the 2.0 audio mix for your final release with Arid? The 2.0 and 5.1 audio tracks use different sound effects and stuff. The acting isn’t re-recorded like it is for Gunbuster, but the different SFX change the feel a little and are both worth experiencing.

@Mabby Do you know where the video patches for Datte13’s release are available? The separated AB upload of the director’s cut episodes doesn’t seem to have the V2 & V3 of S01E21.

thanks!

datte literally internals on ab with ab-rmx if it’s not on there you might be out of luck lol

another week of no arid-baws nge…

Are the episodes in this the directors cut or original?

Ignore me, I just see [DC] in the titles

i am a dying child

The Blu-ray should be out. You should add FLAC.

AYOOOO what’s uup

how long must we dilate for the true release

so true

For everyone watching this, I recommend the Dekinai track. It’s based on Bloat which was based on the ADV translation and should include the dialogue fixes in the Sephirotic track. It’s also a proper fansub with the best TS.

[Arid-Baws] is cancelled. They couldn’t find a TLC and Arid dropped out after publicly stating he disliked his work on it. I found a TLC, so I’m doing it with Baws under [HachiRoku-Baws]. ETA is 3-4 months.

^ bless you sir. i need the highest quality possible to finally understand how to romance.

@mcbaws21 @HachiRokuNiSanKyu any updates on the release?

lmao, thanks for replying.

So is this hypothetical future release deader than dead?
