GARO Episode 02 - 10bit h.264
 |
| Get over here! |
Episode 02
There were apparently a number of hilariously poorly handled lines in the original release, and having looked up the T-N next episode preview from a streaming site, it seems they utterly blew that as well. We're talking embarrassingly so. No idea if the new DVD rip release of theirs fixes them, or if they were just so threatened by the existence of our rips that they did essentially the same thing. If somebody wants to update any lines that they actually did seriously fix, go ahead, but we don't really have the patience to full on scrub the same show twice.
This will be the last warning for this: if you do not have the OP1 and ED1 from the previous post, you will see no opening or ending.

GARO Episode 01 - 10bit h.264
Well... we bought these damn DVDs so long ago that almost the entire series was encoded just in time for a demoralizing hard drive crash. When recovery tools failed to grab the encoded videos, it seemed like hope was lost, and it was hard to muster the effort to start over.
And then MakaiSenki was announced.
Back when the first releases of this series happened, we were up front about not being particularly happy with the the quality of the DVD raws, so this time we've gone all out. The old releases are pretty tolerable if you're not big on the bleeding edge, but for those who are, we have a release for you of 10bit h.264 video (a show this dark bands like a motherfucker) with ordered chapters to cut down on redundant downloading of the OPs and at least first ED. This release has been in the pipeline for honestly too long, seeing as the first episode of the sequel is already out and the second has aired, but as comments and tweets to Over-Time suggest, there's still plenty of people who are not yet on board the great Golden Knight GARO bandwagon. So let's get them on, shall we?

You'll need a fairly modern player to deal with this, the easiest is to use CCCP on windows, or mplayer2 (or a gui program that is backed by it). The opening and ending play at the correct time automatically in a correctly configured system, no playlists or trickery required.
The upside of a rerelease like this is simple: the subs are done. Just need to slide them back around the now missing 2:30 and presto release-o. Also this gives a good opportunity to fix a few lingering errors (at least one instance of Guren Forest made it through QC of the DVD releases, for instance) at the same time.
Have fun.

Garo Special: Beast of the Midnight Sun DTV version
Garo Special: Beast of the Midnight Sun
Look what's out just in time for the something awful members to slot it in to after 25.
ADTRW people, you have about 72 hours from this posting to get the first episode if you want to be cool and pretend there are 27 episodes of Garo (Ignoring the Gaiden) during the simulwatch. If you can't manage that, tough shit, you can watch on your own time. It won't hurt you, I promise.
Why the DTV version? There aren't any readily available raws for the Director's Cut... at least until my copies of it (and the TV series) arrive in late October. That's right, Japan is rereleasing the whole thing for about $400 less than the current MSRP in time for Red Requiem, and because I was never happy with the video quality of the raws that are floating around online (not that they're not a huge fucking improvement over the T-N TV rips) I'm grabbing them. I paid more for Evangelion in the US, and I don't even like that show.
Fortunately, encoding can be done mostly offline, which is good because the primary reason Agito is going so slow is the amount of tedium in cranking out a single episode, whereas doing a v2 with better video (and minor corrections) doesn't actually require a whole lot of personal interaction. These subs were not originally ripped by kind anonymous, they were ripped by me with a different tool, which may help out that whole thing if I can get it to not choke on Agito's ugly ass subs. That will speed up the process tremendously.
That's enough words, enjoy the wolves grunting and cutting things!

A New Release at Last! (But not Agito)
I'm not sure if anybody still reads this. I'm sure everybody has long since given up on seeing Agito from us. Well, you shouldn't, because 6-10 are awaiting a QC pass before getting them into your hot little hands, along with some v2s of 1-5 (with patches for those of you who have had the originals, no need to redownload). Many things have been promised about rate of release in the past, so it's easy to not believe this. So here's a peace offering: all of GARO, cleaned up and ready for consumption.
At some point, some anonymous OCR ripped the subtitles from T-N's GARO release. These were kind of dogshit, what with the chans, samas, and the fact the timing was way off. That said, it was a much better starting point than the Agito project.
Similarly, some other anonymous posted DVD raws of the series. These aren't really encoded to our standards, but they're head and shoulders above the T-N tv rips, so it's definitely a worthwhile upgrade if not a perfect one.
Thanks to our friends at Gattai for their help in this release. Enjoy!
