Part 1 - Video:
Grain. It’s. All. Just. Grain.
While working on this I learned to love Discothek and then learned to hate it. And now I can’t decide.
No idea how these types of remasters are done, but I’m wondering if this was really the best that could have been done.
The amount of grain is so fucking strong, it’ll burn itself into your retina after just watching 5 minutes of the raw video.
Since the nature of the grain is also greatly different throughout the season, some of the episodes could be compressed better than others.
It’s still awfully big, I know.
Without wasting anymore of your time: If you can spare 100GB for this show, then get the BDRemux.
The movies are not encoded.
Filters: Crop, Degrain, Deband (sometimes), added grain (sometimes).

Comparison from @eldon: https://slow.pics/c/Ix8mJAa1

All the subtitles are retimed.
Most (the important) signs have been typeset.
Some of them come from the source, some have been extracted from the PGS.

Chapters are from the BDMV.
Stereo jpn audio encoded with 256kbit/s.
If you want the source files of these, just ask me on discord.

I’ve included two scripts. You can either deactivate the english-audio and sign&songs subs, or completely remove them. Please read-me.txt

Many thanks to Crash and Judas for making this possible.
