Please seed.
Sony put the movie up on PlayStation store, so we have an early release for it. However, the sources we were working with are far from ideal and had every issue you could think of: blocking, banding, ringing, detail loss, aliasing, haloing, washed out colors, you name it. We applied appropriate and somewhat heavy filters to fix these, but lost detail is something no one can bring back. With that said, I feel the end result is quite watchable.
Coming to subs, this is a moderate-effort edit of the official subs, which is retimed almost from scratch, fixes some obvious mistranslations, has similar styling and terminology as Kaleido-Flax, and some memes as well. It just reads better overall, since Aniplex butchered lots of important dialogue. Seriously, stay away from official subs if you wanna enjoy this movie. While the edits are significant enough to make a difference, given the rushed nature of this release, it’s not as polished as it could’ve been. However, we’re planning on reworking and ironing these subs out for the BD release over the next few weeks.
As always, if you spot any mistakes, be sure to let us know. And if you liked our work, be sure to let your friends know!
If you can wait till June 16th, we’d suggest that you do.
The question is: can you, though?
