Just to confirm, this isn’t 10bit right? The file size looks too big for 10bit… though I must say I’d like a 10bit release of this =/. Oh well, we can’t have all, can we?
By the way, was the quality of the BD so bad 1080p wasn’t worth it? I did notice the TV version was kind of blurry on the lines and edges, but I thought they fixed that for the BD release.
UTW didn’t either. The file sizes are immense for it. You can find their post for their first BD release here: http://utw.me/2011/02/04/a-certain-magical-kinshomokuroku-ii-bd-vol-1/. It’s basically due to all the dark coloured scenes that appear through out the anime. It doesn’t surprise me that Coalgirls aren’t doing it in 1080p either, and it’s not a big loss.
@chronos02: It’s a J.C. Staff anime, so I highly doubt there’ll be any 1080p release from CGi. Also, the current filesize looks just as what I would expect from a 10-bit release, meaning you get almost the same size as 8-bit but with much more detail and quality, so I’m guessing it is. Although, if you think the filesize is too big, then perhaps you should take a look at Madoka’s filesizes.
JC Staff is 720p only by rule. They have very blurry BDs, and after the mess of Index I, decided never to do that again unless there was a major improvement. They did have one in Milky Holmes, but they have since reverted to their old ways.
i watched the first season and was planing on looking the second season, but never felt like doing it
at the moment i download the first season form cg and after that the second one
i will watch both, cause i watched the fist as TV version^^
thanks! i avoided UTW’s release because of the filesize. i’m happy that there’s a 10-bit release now because the dark scenes will definitely benefit from it.
Man what happened to doing what you want? You said you were gonna switch to 10 bit and suddenly because of the dumbasses bitching who cant spend 1 minute to update, yall switch back to shitty 8 bit.
sigh….. another 10 bit release…. i am still trying to figure out why people take an 8 bit source (blu rays don’t support 10 bit) and re-ecode it to 10 bit. you can’t create a better image like some people think. TV source, sure why not, blu ray source, absolutely no benefit. hard drives are cheap.
@Ridley, 10-bit removes banding issues you get from re-encoding into 8-bit. You may see no benefit to it, but its shiny new technology, when will people get a grip and just move with technology and not resist change, we’re not all conservatives are we?
I never actually bothered to look at your 1080p release of Index 1, though I do have it, but I will go with your word and download this and the 720p version of the first season for consistency sake.
Torrent is working fine (and I’m currently seeding @~600 KB/s) => the issue should be on your side.
Figure out what your problem is, then come and get it…

I’ve downloaded from your S1 1080p index, I have a problem with eps 8 video stops after the opening song but the sound remains the road.
So the index S1 1080p is not worth downloading, I’ll re-download the S1 index 720p because I want to save the file with good quality and which do not have problems like eps 8 that I got in the 1080p version.
that’s right, only this torrent give some kind of problem, i’ve tested with two different isp with two pcs; making combos of pc/isp with the same result : no peer/no seeds.
There is nothing relatively wrong with the torrent per se, but unlike the other ones in cgi this one doesn’t accept DHT or peer exchange so it only falls back to the cgi tracker. If you are using peerblock it usually blocks the cgi tracker since it falls under OVH SAS ip range; though it could also be a firewall blocking the 3277 port as well.
Marchen, i have the same problem as well, best way to handle is is to disable peerblock for a moment then update tracker then enable peerblock again. its like this with most torrents from this group
Good to see you’re doin’ this series too.

On a different topic, thanks for the release!
It depends if CG started encoding this a long time ago, or a month ago. Then again… she DID re-encode CCS in 10bit.
i was wondering if you guys would do this show. Thanks for the upload quality looks amazing!!!
Nice to see this being worked on, didn’t expect to be picked up though with UTW doing their own BD and all…I’m sticking to CGi though 😛
MediaInfo reports this as 10-bit encodes.
Thanks for doing this release CG! 😀
From this point on, if you see my name on something, assume it’s 10-bit.
I’m going to guess the quality of the BDs were bad, hence only 720p.
thank you for doing this!!!

thx for this
YES! Looking forward to this, Coalgirl. 🙂

@ coalgirl
Ever considered picking up Milky Holmes? Seems like your type of show! =P
i thought that u’re not gonna do this one 😛
@Hai
Yes. Hence why I know what it looks like. But the series seems incredibly boring, and the filesizes were huge, so I decided it’d be best if I didn’t.
UTW is doing this, but it’ll be released in about twenty years.
Man what happened to doing what you want? You said you were gonna switch to 10 bit and suddenly because of the dumbasses bitching who cant spend 1 minute to update, yall switch back to shitty 8 bit.
@asd: It IS in 10-bit.
what about Kami-memo?
Kami-memo is done. If I can find some way to distribute it, I decided to do it as Chihiro. If I can’t, I’ll do it as a joint using CGi distro methods.
wooooooo Kamimemo!
Kamimemo you’re talking about the TV version or BD?
BD ofcourse.
aw no milky holmes, but this is also nice
Note: Despite the post-picture, this show does not include any actual Satens.
Is there any chance you’ll be giving season 1 the 10bit treatment?
Thanks. I’ve waiting for a version of the last episodes to finally finish this great series (Damii had done the first 18 episodes).
It’s a pity that the uber-kawaii Saten-san doesn’t appear the series…. A 2nd Railgun series would be very welcomed.
@above
17-24 were the only ones worth watching anyway.
Is Coalgirl doing R-15 bds? Sorry if you have already answered alsewere.
Yay! Thank you.

Thanks for your hard work
For some reason i am not getting any peers on the torrent.
Can somebody confirm that this is working fine plz and thank you

Same here… somethings wrong with the torrent… no peers, no seeds…… i dunno how to fix this…
All other coal girl torrents with the same tracker are working fine
Only this torrent has issues the same as Johny mentioned
that’s right, only this torrent give some kind of problem, i’ve tested with two different isp with two pcs; making combos of pc/isp with the same result : no peer/no seeds.
same problems with this torrent…
Me too, the torrent is not working anymore. It downloaded 10GB and then stopped.
Hey, CG, you gonna do the specials? To Aru Majutsu no Index : A certain Magical Index-Tan
It’s this ordered chapter?
has anybody found out what the problem with the torrent is and how to fix it?
There is nothing relatively wrong with the torrent per se, but unlike the other ones in cgi this one doesn’t accept DHT or peer exchange so it only falls back to the cgi tracker.

Aaaah, so that’s why all these idiots are complaining …
Well, made an entry in the FAQ.
wow… “Idiots” … nice way of putting it to your fans ChrisK.
