Ok, I’ve decided to upload something interesting in here.

“In short”, this is a personal project I’ve made to watch with my family and friends some awesome anime that I have on my PC in movie format (that is more… confortable and exciting(!?) to watch somehow, at least for them… I wouldn’t said the same for some episodic anime out there, like most of the Slice of Life anime we have for example, but anime like Bahamut seems to have been made to HAVE a movie version, in my sincere opinion).

Please don’t expect the closing credits (basically ED from episode 6 + ED from episode 1) at the end of this said movie to be accurate, I don’t have enough ability in editing to do something completely precise like that, and anyway, no one here besides me understand japanese nor know that much about japanese animation industry to point out these things so… that’s that haha

I’ve modified several points in the movie to make the continuity of the storytelling more fluid, but I did not cut any content of the series at all (in most cases, these were “before opening/credits” moments or the epilogue and commercial-break things). By the way I let the kraken passage intact because it kinda went better like that (since it was a portion where the producers cut to a point reasonably calm just after the scene, separated by the commercial-break in the TV release).

In any case, that’s it, and I hope you guys enjoy :D
If you like this project, please let your opinion on what anime/OVA do you think a movie-like version would be better than the standard one in the comments bellow.

I myself was thinking in add some content to the Shingeki no Kyojin Movie release (when someone make one in english) from the BD version, if possible (I don’t know if the quality is just too much higher in the movies, but I could add at least the training segment with no problem, since is a flashback and stuff that would be a perfect pretext for me to justify some technical differences).

But enough of wall-texting this description! Here are the main details of this release:

I’ve used [Mawaru] BD releases, and converted them to the most compact size I’ve could convert without losing video quality (the audio, unfortunately by what I’ve could get from the Uploader’s words, was ruined in the 5.1 version of the blu-ray, so I’ve converted using the 2.0 one… in other words, this is certainly a no-good point of this release).

And these are the technical aspects:

If anyone want to make a better version (like a 1080p release, which I’m not planing on doing), I’m going to upload this project’s folder with all the things (the program I use is Vegas 12) you need to make an alternative take of my pretty unassertive work ;)

UPDATE:

Here is the said link:

I will make “part II” as soon as I get the rest of [Mawaru]'s blu-ray releases, even if the reception of this one will be negative.

Seed if you like this xD
