Information:

Video was deinterlaced, tcombed (m2), decimated, degrained, dehaloed, debanded and added grain.

English audio is from hchcsen, who just removed their torrent for some reason??
It got the appropriate delays/cuts as either lossless trims or mkv delays.

The subtitles have been restyled, timing shifted and added op/ed.

Chapters are from the BDMV.
Stereo jpn audio encoded with 256kbit/s, the english ac-3 tracks have been copied.
If you want the source files of these, just ask.

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 [Anonymous@U2] and hchcsen for making this possible.
