    Sorry for the hold up, there was some TS issues in episode 5 that took a while to get fixed. 3-5 should be out Saturday or Sunday.

      Many times, there was shaking typesetting. ANE did not do this in their original. They started work on a v2 with the shaking, but only did so for episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 1/2 of 5. I am attempting to get a version with full shakes for every sign, but it all depends on the typesetter, not me.

    Is this going to be better than ANE’s version? Are you re-re-encoding it currently or is it just typsetting issues?

      Yes, I am re-re-encoding it and fixing the subs. Better than ANE, if the typesetter comes through, yes definitely. If not, it’s up to you to decide.

    Coalgirl, when compress FLAC, do you use level 0, the default (5), or level 8?

    Video is not fixed…. What is the point in re-encoding then?

      coalgirl writes:

      The aliasing problem is more of a marker that this show is not really 1080p. However, in Nise I found that removing the aliasing tended to destroy more than it fixed, and was best left alone.

    coldhell writes:

    No, not exactly aliasing, it is just bad NearestNeighbour algorithm (the zooming in the anime, not the BD)… even simple “your version->900p->1080p” fixes the problem http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/28443 (light AA+WS are optional) , with BD source it should be probably even better. It is not big problem since it can be filtered on playback like I did with v1/2, but it still hurts alot :<

      coalgirl writes:

      Resizing to 900p and back to 1080p is not an acceptable solution. If you do that, any chance that the anime is native 1080p is lost, and you’re better off releasing it at 900p.

      Better typesetting, consistency with my Neko/Nise, various error fixes, patch style commentary, commentary subs. It’s all around a better release and you should get it if you want to archive my release.

    ANE died a while ago right? Every once and a while I plug in their old URL but it be dead. I think I will update to this version at batch time for the sake of the tweaked subs that ANE never finished unfortunately.

    I’m in the same boat about ANE, they’re definitely dead. Too bad they couldn’t just announce it.

    To everyone who are claiming ANE is dead. The answer is No. We are doing Nekomonogatari and Nichijou. Though I have to say, you can give up hopes on Bakemono v2 subs.

      Yeah, commentary OCR error I didn’t catch. As I said in the original post, commentaries are presented as is unless there is a major error, so it’s not going to be fixed.

    5 reasons to always choose Coalgirls:

    *Realistic size/quality ratio
    *Always japanese audio with the best available english subs
    *FLAC, for those of us old enough to remember when music wasn’t played in 128kbit
    *720p or 1080p versions whenever they’re justified
    *Play-all functions with and/or without OPED

    ~192+ kbps vorbis/ACC is transparent for the vast majority of audio, but yeah FLAC is better for achival purposes, people won’t hear any real difference though

      You go to the commentary folder and double click on commentary.bat. Run the episode you want.

    Hi folks. So i recently downloaded the show, watched through all of it and enjoyed it. So, now i’d like to watch it with commentaries, but i’m having trouble figuring out how it’s done. I did see Coalgirl’s response to a fellow above me, where it was said that you need to enter a commentary folder and launch the .bat file found there. Only problem is, there is no commentary folder, and everything related to the commentaries, which is a bunch of flac files, is placed in the same folder as the episodes themselves. So now i have two questions.
    1. How do i merge the visuals with the commentary?
    2. Where do i find the subs? I can’t for the love of me find the subs anywhere, not in the episodes themselves, not in the flac files, and not as separate files in the folder.

    I’m sorry if this has been asked a ton before, but i checked through all the comments several times, without finding a response which could help me.

    Each torrent has a subfolder, the name of which corresponds with that torrent.
    [Coalgirls]_Bakemonogatari_01-02_Commentary_(1280x720_Blu-ray_FLAC)
    [Coalgirls]_Bakemonogatari_03-05_Commentary_(1280x720_Blu-ray_FLAC)

    Each of those folders has a “commentary.bat” file.

    I downloaded the first two episodes to check out how the commentary subs are, but for some reason the commentary episodes stop at a seemingly random point, and then skip right to the ending. I have not renamed or moved around any of the files, and I just ran the batch program. Should I just redownload, or is there a way to make them play properly?

    Coalgirls has banding (look at the hair, shadow under hair etc.) and more noise (look at any of the solid colors; shadow, eyes, skin) than the ANE release.

    coalgirl writes:

    Well, let me make a statement.

    I am not a targetter. What I mean by that is someone who looks at someone else’s release, and specifically works to make it better in some specific way. These type of people do exist. Revo is a very good example of one of these – he’ll re-encode a show 100 times to look better than another group. Commie did the same thing with Nekomonogatari. Their encode was perfectly fine, but they redid it for the simple reason that it looked worse than mine. Vivid is doing the same thing with The World God Only Knows – abandoning their localization principals to add in a second unlocalized track in order to try and steal downloads from Chihiro and/or CMS. Just a hint – any time you see a localized and unlocalized track, the group is either trying to make a statement, or is trying to steal downloads.

    My reason for redoing this is simple. Our original version was horrible, but we are the only consistent release out there. Is my encode better than my old one? By miles. Is it better than ANE? Eh, I guess ANE has a better encode, but you can’t really blame me. tp7 pretty much repaints frames.

    Then again, I guess you could ask – would you rather have that bit of banding you pointed out that is on screen for 0.2 seconds, or would you rather have typesettings that shakes with the signs, subbed commentary, and easily customizable playability options?

    Edit – Well, your follow up shows me the exact reason why I usually just hit ban on people like you. You aren’t interested in comparing or giving information, you’re just nothing more than a troll.

    Raggers writes:

    ANE has marginally better quality – whether you’d notice it during playback is questionable, and I’d also like to know if that single comparison is indicative of an entire release’s video quality. Since that was a single comparison I’d imagine it was the worst you could find in a few minutes flicking.

    Also, I’ve seen a few extracts from the commentary and would really like to watch it subbed, so this release wins by a mile on that front. Though I might remux them in using editions for archival (to keep it neat).
