Because Eclipse was better than the over-rated R1 subs. Also, http://coalgirls.wakku.to/?page_id=2 . Eclipse is a good fansub, so it falls under policy #9.
To everyone with font problems:
The new mkvmerge seems to be more accurate with setting the MIME-types for attachments which seems to catch Haali (or whatever people are using) off guard which – dumb as it is – expects the type for all fonts to be application/x-truetype-font, regardless if it’s even a TTF font. mplayer – smart as it is – gets this still right.
TL;DR: This is a Haali/matroskasplitter issue, complain to the devs.
ehhh…. people complaining about fonts? i’ll just take it as a sign that fansubbing has come such a long way, we’ve almost run out of things to criticize.
I don’t know that the R1 subs were ever “overrated” — in fact, people were saying that they were substandard when the DVDs first came out. Heck, R1 doesn’t even have “People die if they are killed.”
@randomfaggot: Since when does Arial look “like shit”?
@randomfaggot: i didn’t realize downloading torrents require proactive attention. what were you doing, staring at the download bar the whole time? lol.
Thora version was the best release you can get back a few years ago. I won’t bother with downloading Fate/Stay Night again. This series is just bad. The only saving grace of the show is Rin.
Now Fate/Zero, on the other hand, is just awesome. Can’t wait until that get a BD release.
Here is a workaround for font issue with MPC-HC. Just uninstall Matroska splitter. Then install LAV splitter from LAV filters. The font is correct like in mplayer2.
Thanks…. Will you also do Fate/Zero
Mhm, time to check which version I currently have.
Gosh darn it, I just downloaded all of this from Doki yesterday -.- Time to redownload haha.
Wow thanks! Bye-bye Thora version^^
Excellent, this can replace my ThorA version. Thanks!
lol’d
I thought
“hmm, I wonder …”
and it happened 🙂
Well, time to delete the THORA version. Didn’t like it that much anyway. Lots of banding and really bad font. Thanks for having my back GC.
Nice!
@Waqas Jawad – yes she will, it’s written on her project page.
THORA’s version font always looked like SHIT to me, I don’t know why but whatever. Thanks, downloading.
cool thanks
its good that the ops and eds are not cut
DAMN does it feel good to get rid of THORA…. Thanks!
I’m not doubting, I’m just curious, does anyone have a comparison? I never knew THORA’s was that bad till people started saying so here.
THORA isn’t that bad. Coalgirls is just alot better.
I came!!! Thank you so much for this!!!
Glad I’m not the only one who is getting rid of THORA.
it is 10bit? thanx anyway i have deleted thoras release a long time ago…
is this 10 bit?
This is 10-bit. Yes. ~2500 video rate and 1536 audio.
Thanks again coalgirl! This seems to be better than Thora’s version, (like your releases usually are :D), so I’m going to replace it for this one.
Waiting for Fate/Zero bluray, this one is even more amazing than Fate/Stay Night…:)
Thora’s version is pretty old, like released 2 to 3 years ago. It’s a lot easier to do a great looking encode nowadays.
Nice, thanks!
what a pleasent surprise. Kinda lost hope that you would ever do this one and now its here all out of the sudden.
Comparison with Thora, using latest CCCP, nothing changed (no madvr) :

10-bit & 2500 video rate & 1536 audio. Sweet!!! 😀
Why do the font look like shit too? -> http://i42.tinypic.com/1zoi2xk.jpg
Give me my time back.
Why did you use Eclipse’s subs and not the R1 DVD subs?
Because Eclipse was better than the over-rated R1 subs. Also, http://coalgirls.wakku.to/?page_id=2 . Eclipse is a good fansub, so it falls under policy #9.
@randomfaggot: seems to be a problem with mkvmerge 5.1.x, fast fix is installing the attached fonts.
@Otaking
Because they felt like it.(Not to mention Eclipse subs were better ofc)
Actually mkvmerge 5.1.x + matroskasplitter. Tested it with VLC nigthly and it worked fine.
To everyone with font problems:
The new mkvmerge seems to be more accurate with setting the MIME-types for attachments which seems to catch Haali (or whatever people are using) off guard which – dumb as it is – expects the type for all fonts to be application/x-truetype-font, regardless if it’s even a TTF font. mplayer – smart as it is – gets this still right.

Wow, what a nice surprise. Thanks CoalGirls. Now I’m going to go order some McNuggets and gain more weight while watching this gem in HQ.

>R1 subs are substandard
This I didn’t know. Sorry about that.

“Gae Bulga” is quite an eyesore in ep 3 xD. Good old Eclipse subs indeed…
my god…. now i gotta dl this and delete Thora’s version. ^^ keep up the awesome job and many thxs.
THANK YOU CG ^_^
Been waiting a long time for this.. Especially after UBW (x
Cannot WAIT to see this in HQ…
Thanks for another epic release. ( :

I take it back. I’m keeping THORA. Looks better.
Son, I am disappoint.
Did eclipse not ever sub the special, curtain raiser and Rider’s Diary for this?
@DmonHiro does it really? It seems coalgirls’ has less banding and is a bit less sharp, but to say it looks worse..
Installing the fonts yourself seems to fix the problem for the most part. However, the ED/OP fonts still don’t work with this quick-fix.
Well ain’t that embarrassing? I was looking at the screenshots backwards.
Wahahaha! I’m an idiot… forget I said anything.
Thanks coalgirl, also replacing THORA’s.
@Goshtic.
Keep us updated on your downloading habits, bro. We’re dying to know what shows you like, and what you download..
Here is a workaround for font issue with MPC-HC. Just uninstall Matroska splitter. Then install LAV splitter from LAV filters. The font is correct like in mplayer2.
more comparisons (done with madvr on default settings and w/e else is needed for proper 10bit playback):

@Alpaca:
LAV splitter doesn’t support ordered chapters IIRC. And that feature is used frequently in BD releases.
^ It doesn’t support segment linking, it does support ordered chapters.
Well, if you want to watch the OP, you can always…open the NCOP file.
Gae Bulga!
