I My Me! Strawberry Eggs - MyAnimeList.net

Information:

Which was originally just planned as practice material, got me so hooked on TS, that I couldn’t keep myself from finishing it.
During this show I gradually increased my knowledge of styling signs, so the first episodes might not be much different from ocr’d PGS (which is the script source btw).
Besides styling signs, I also retimed every dialogue line to fit the japanese audio, but note that the translation is still pretty bad.
Karaoke sounds too scary to me, so the songs only got fading subs.

On a few occasions, I had to rephrase some lines that were just too long.

The audio had to be copied and delayed from Exiled-Destiny, since I didn’t want to re-encode it.

The origin of the video is a russian DVD9. Thus, credits and other branding is neither japanese nor english.
I’ve split the episodes apart and encoded them with a crf of 16 to 10bit.

I highly suggest you to use mpv for playback.

Many thanks to Aiyon-siner and Exiled-Destiny for making this possible!


I’ve included two scripts. You can either deactivate the english-audio and subtitles, or completely remove them. Please Read-Me.txt


If you find anything that seems out of the ordinary, just post a comment or in my discord and I’ll take a look at it.

Rule number one, when the JP DVD is easily available, you use it even if its 480p its whats original resolution, the Russian DVD is an upscale for compatibility with PAL standard, this is basic 101 knowledge when subbing and encoding old anime.

Also scripts to remove audio, I never seen this approach before, the best releases have already been out for 14 years so I am not sure its gonna get any better.
I am not sure if you ran your copy through AVISynth to fix the various issues that is with the Russian DVD release.

@SMGJohn:

when the JP DVD is easily available

I’d like you to explain to me how the fuck I am supposed to download a 0 seeded torrent.

scripts to remove audio, I never seen this approach before

So? If they aren’t working it’s a problem, but why not ship a few ffmpeg commands within bash and batch files?
I am not gonna send out .exe patches, since I don’t trust nyaa-uploaders that much myself.

the best releases have already been out for 14 years so I am not sure its gonna get any better

Please show me. I wasn’t able to find any softsubbed release that just didn’t include ocr’d subrips. If you’re talking about image quality then so be it, that wasn’t this project’s goal to achieve.
I did my best.

I am not sure if you ran your copy through AVISynth to fix the various issues

If I did, it would be part of the description. I really did just do this release because of TS and thought, why not just upload it for those who don’t want to watch subrip trash.

yeah no Im with SMGjohn on this one, russian source poo. if you cant download a ‘0 seeded torrent’ you find another source for the same material, or leave it on your engine until the uploader comes back on. using something else as ‘good enough’ is never 'good enough’
side note; scripts dont work. dont bother pandering to the ‘subrip trash’ crowd who dont want to hear the same damn voice actors in half the animes out there… why not just release as dubbed only? I mean its already a russian source, might as well bastardize it fully.
but yeah thanks for the download… that i now get to delete and re-download from someone else because I didnt read the text-wall full of mostly-irrelevant information that was lazily copied and pasted in.
ufu~

@Yaoi:

you just find another source for the same material

Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting for someone to seed the dvdiso? Some torrents are just dead wtf do you mean? Being a member of multiple private-trackers surely makes it easy for you to talk shit like this.

using something else as ‘good enough’ is never 'good enough’

Are you high? Wtf does that sentence even mean? I never indicated that the russian dvd was good enough, hell how the fuck am I supposed to tell if I got nothing to compare it to?

side note; scripts don’t work

Literally, or in general? I am aware that some of my scripts in my older releases haven’t been fully working, since I’m not that much skilled writing shitty windows cmd shit.

don’t bother pandering to the ‘subrip trash’ crowd who don’t want to hear the same damn voice actors in half the animes out there… why not just release as dubbed only? I
mean its already a russian source, might as well bastardize it fully.

Many people enjoy releases with multiple audio tracks to choose from, which I fully agree with.

now I get to delete and re-download from someone else because I didn’t read the text-wall full of mostly-irrelevant information that was lazily copied and pasted in.

Can you be a little more specific? The wall being ffprobe? That’s pretty relevant to know what kind of codecs are used, if it includes chapters… . Other than that, nothing has being “lazily copy-pasted”?!

My initial description is still clear enough on what kind of upload this is: It was a small project of mine to get more accompanied with typesetting, nothing of the blu-ray remaster kind.
P.S: All the sources are mentioned and linked to. Don’t act like you’re too retarded too open your eyes and just read. Holy shit.

@ThatWaxEllo Thanks for the share, I don’t normally download dvd anime anymore but I loved this show. Cheers

Thanks for the effort, but I’ll have to agree what was said previously. The quality of this is pretty bad. Not only do you have the awful stretch from the russian dvd but the colors are also slightly off with a greenish tint.

Here is a quality comparison of 3 different releases: https://slow.pics/c/4WlaDesf
As you can see, both this and Exiled Destiny’s releases has a stretched image with noticeable lower quality. Exiled Destiny’s release has worse colors and this has worse quality. I would go with the R2DVD release from NyaaTorrents instead. The quality of that is comparable to what you’d find on streaming sites since it’s the same video file source so you’re not really getting that much of a quality increase by downloading it anyway.

That being said, there isn’t really a perfect alternative here. You’re either getting shit quality or shit subs. While this probably has better subs than the other release I’d still like to see it get a more proper translation as this is just like op says, not amazing TL either.
