Back Arrow - MyAnimeList.net

Information:

Fixed all the signs from Embers release (on-screen).
Added translated song subtitles from the usbd pgs.

The video was encoded with crf 19.5 to 10bit, and the audio to OPUS.

Forgot to shift the dialogue lines for EP20 and EP22. Here are the fixed files:
Back Arrow (2021) - S01E20 [V2] - Does People’s Anger Reach God.mkv
Back Arrow (2021) - S01E22 [V2] - But What Do I Live For.mkv

To make them compatible with the scripts, make sure the filenames match the old V1’s and put them in the exact same position (replace).

I highly suggest you to use mpv for playback.

Summary:

• restyled signs and dialogue
• audio was encoded to OPUS (libopus, 256k, 512k)
• video was encoded to HEVC (libx265, yuv420p10le)
• naming scheme matches TheTVDB.com (for plex/radarr/emby/jellyfin/kodi compatibility)

I’ve included two scripts. You can either deactivate the english-audio and subtitles, or completely remove them. How-To

Many thanks to npz and Ember for making this possible!

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.
