Kara no Kyoukai

Type: Movie (7 Parts + Epilogue + Remix)
Video: 1920×1080 @ crf 16
1280×720   @ crf 16
Audio: FLAC 5.1 (24 Bit)
Subs: Track 1: gg-TakaJun (restyled)
Track 2: Retail (restyled)
1080p: Torrent
720p: Torrent

Notes:

  • I watched it in 1080p, but I can’t really tell if it’s worth the extra space. You decide.
  • If you watch this at normal distance to your TV, you shouldn’t notice most of the crappy parts. Looks quite good actually.
  • Part 5 is a bit huge because the entire movie was plastered with grain.
  • The chronological order of the parts is: 2, 4, 3, 1, 5, 6, (Remix,) 7, Epilogue. Watch it in this order if you want to have an easier understanding of the story. Or just watch the Remix after Part 6.

    Decided to give it a whirl after all huh? lol I still think the BD gives a bit more then the DVD overall so glad to see it out of the drop box

    awesome chrisk. was hoping you would pick it up from coalgirls. i bought it, so dosn’t matter to me, but this deserves coalgirls treatment.

  3. BK201 writes:

    Where are you downloading it? Could you please tell me?

    Thank you so much. ^^

    Nice, glad to see you are doing this. I don’t know if the source really warrants 1080p but hey I’ll probably be downloading it anyway, lol.

  7. 5ushi writes:

    I gave up searching for the RAWs (and have absolutely no idea as to Thora’s ETA), so I guess I’ll be waiting here.

    A question though. “Subs: Retail”.
    So you’re going to simply give it a wee bit of a styling fix? Or change some vocab?

  8. don writes:

    downloading… (?????)
    probably to get the subs from gg-takajun…
    as usually coalgirls use third-party subs… not subbing herself…

  9. banger writes:

    awesome. i am glad to hear you are using the retail subs….the gg one was horrible

  10. hrvatskafarkasevec writes:

    @don
    raw downloading

  11. fri writes:

    What fonts are you going to use? Would be nice if you went with gg’s typesetting (Chaparral Pro Semibold as main dialogue font).

  12. esko writes:

    Thanks for doing this, I’d like it if you edited the subs to have Eastern name order and honorifics.

  13. alex writes:

    Awesome! Thanks, I was hoping someone else would pick it up 😀

  14. Sayer writes:

    Nice layout on the status. Easy way to keep people updated, well done.

  15. Zer0 writes:

    I read over at gg’s website that the quality for the movies (epilogue not included) was rather low. Do you feel like it really deserves a 1080p release?

    Not sure why I’m asking as I know I’ll download them anyways.

  16. skyhack writes:

    Redemption.

  17. Tchi writes:

    It would be nice if you released the epilogue first!

  18. herp writes:

    filterless encodes for 1-7 movies will look like shit.
    enjoy your q-tec cancer.

  19. sporadic writes:

    thank’s for doing guys.
    you guys are great

  20. Tri_Edge writes:

    720p should do it.
    this isn’t good for 1080p.

  21. derp writes:

    Seems like herp is again complaining about his eyes having cancer…..so sad he has to take the rage out on other people.

  22. boingman writes:

    @banger: Care to explain what about Takajun’s translation was horrible? Your comments sounds like trolling to me, but maybe you have good reasons apart from “I don’t like honorifics and eastern name order”, so I’d like to hear them.

    >Seems like herp is again complaining about his eyes having cancer
    You mean bad upscales don’t look like shit?

  24. banger writes:

    accuracy of translation of course

  25. boingman writes:

    Hm, do you happen to have any examples?

  26. ChrisK writes:

    This discussion is pointless since 66/gg’s scripts for the Blu-rays will base on the retail subs anyway and I’m currently planning to take these.

    those lines look like crap. unless ChrisK tried to fix this, this encode will look the same (shitty)

  28. TS writes:

    @herp
    How would ChrisK go about fixing it anyway?

  29. IZEROII writes:

    Listen…we all know the quality of the source. How about everyone quits their bitching and either download it or don’t. No one is going to disagree with you when you say this BD….well shouldn’t be called a BD. It is what it is. You think the DVD is better then keep whatever copy you have now and move on. The question should be 720 or 1080? Hmmmmmm

  30. Twinkle writes:

    @IZEROII
    Neither.

  31. ochi writes:

    Oooooh, thank you for doing the 1080p =D

  32. TheFluff writes:

    Doing 1080p of anything but the epilogue is fuckingpointless.jpg since even the backgrounds are only animated at 720p. Enjoy your bloated upscale I guess.

  33. Anonymous writes:

    Any chance of releasing just the subs? I’m fine with the raws I have, and I don’t want to redownload all 7 movies + epilogue just for the subs.

  34. Saebel writes:

    720p!?! KICKASS!! Thnx for workin’ on this =)

  35. TypeMoonFan writes:

    Thx for this. Too bad the quality of these BDs releases are not that good, but still, a little better than the dvds right?? I hope so… :p

  36. Icaro writes:

    Thansk for doing this ChrisK.

    I’ll get the 720p, makes more sense IMO.

  37. human writes:

    yeah…enjoy your bloated sense…

  38. Tiago writes:

    Thanks ChrisK, I have never watched this series before, but I am going to after you release it 😀

    Please give us some comparision between 720p and 1080p, when you release it, so we can decide if Full HD is worth downloading for 😉 (Or give us your opinion on that, please)

  39. boingman writes:

    Guess I’ll then wait for someone to release those blu-ray with the “old” sub scripts.

  40. tormaid writes:

    @ChrisK’s response to TS
    So this will be unfiltered then?

  41. Bloodios writes:

    @ChrisK: Will you be releasing some preview pictures?
    By the way, I was wondering if adding a slight sharpen (or warpsharp?) effect would improve the overall quality of movies 1 through 7.

  42. Spearit writes:

    Were did u buy the blue ray from zaockle?

    • zaockle writes:

      rightstuf.com. grabbed the US aniplexusa edition. it’s essentially the same as the japanese, but the US editions gets one extra booklet that has translations for the extra art book.

  43. TS writes:

    @ChrisK
    I was going to say the same thing. If people are so desperate for filters, I’m sure they could re-encode this release themselves. I’m happy with what you’re doing.
    Quick question, are you encoding the Epilogue in 720p as well, or just 1080?

  44. fri writes:

    What about the Remix (Gate of seventh heaven)?

  45. TexKlan-Z- writes:

    @zaockle:
    Has your tracking number of “Garden of Sinners – Blu-ray Box” started working? Mine hasn’t yet. T_T

    • zaockle writes:

      no. i emailed them asking whats up, but they haven’t responded yet.

      edit: disregard. キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!!!!

  46. Zakuro writes:

    Would you mind changing the western name order and add honorifics, this show just need those things;)

  47. Anonymous writes:

    @Zakuro – Why would you need western name order and honorifics in the subs? It’s not like you can’t hear them in the dialogue already. “This show just need those things”? No it doesn’t; that’s an opinion, it’s subjective.

    Personally, I think you shouldn’t mess with a perfectly good pair of subs. And if it really bothers you, you could always just edit the .ass file.

  48. tormaid writes:

    I would also appreciate honorifics and eastern name order. I like that Coalgirls usually takes the time to do that. I like to read what I am hearing. It’s not a deal breaker for me, but it would be nice.

  49. boingman writes:

    Pretty sure that if the official subs suck which happens often enough, someone will release a version with the old takajun-gg one’s.

  50. Gaka writes:

    @Boingman: read the friggin comments. GG releases their bd rips with official subs too, because those are good enough. Just needed few corrections here and there. Hence the [66] instead of usual [Faggots].
