Today we're collecting video from HQR, selected as the best 10-bit encode available (which helps with some banding issues found on non 10-bit encodes such as Joseole's). Audio comes from Hark0n, with special thanks for actually doing the audio syncing (saving me a ton of work). Finally, subtitles (also synced by Hark0n; basically I just stole his release with minor modifications... with permission!) are sourced from KAA (which is actually the R1 script, just with added karaoke on the ED and styling). We didn't much care for the styling on the subtitles, however, so I've included restyled dialogue courtesy of Koby, here on Kametsu. In addition, I've gone through and done QC on the subtitles to an extent (mostly signs where available). No 720p this time, since the primary purpose of this project was a final definitive full quality release with FLAC audio. An acceptable remux from Joseole/TCL is around, which has the exact same script, albeit different styling. I'd pick that up instead if you're looking for smaller filesizes. **DISCLAIMER**: This series is unfinished! It is not likely to be continued (being from 2003), and does kind of trail off, unlike NANA. However, there are definitely arcs worth watching, and the worldbuilding is very memorable if nothing else. I enjoyed it, and don't regret watching it. I don't think you will either.
