UFO Camp!

NOTE (File Format Change): Starting from this episode, we are now fully softsubbing HCR as MKV. OP/ED, especially OP, may be too CPU-intensive for old computers (you can just skip it). Episode 41v2 was also released in the same format.

So in this episode, Hime-chan, Daichi, and others visit the mountainous town of Okutama.

B = Okutama Town / C = Chichibu City: appearing in Initial D, though unrelated here.

Little Lovers

This is the v2 release of Episode 41: a fully softsubbed MKV, as opposed to v1 (hardsubbed MP4). For more info about the format change, see Episode 42.

May 12, 2021 — OUT: Goldfish Warning! 40–54 [v2]

The first batch (1 of 3) for Goldfish Warning! v2s

This is a set of 15 files — Episodes 40 through 54 (last), of which ten files are new (a few mistranslations fixed, and generally, slightly tweaked and improved), while five episodes (48, 49, 51, 52, 53v2) remain unchanged, as they’re already good enough.

These eight files are higher-quality (256 MiB/ep) than the v1s (180 MiB/ep): 40v2, 41v2, 42v2, 43v2, 44v2, 45v2, 46v2, 47v2.

This is supposed to be the first batch for the softsub version of Goldfish Warning!. The second batch (ETA: a few months?) will be 20v2–39v2, the third batch (no ETA) will be 1v2–19v2. Batches for Goldfish Warning! v2 are MKV-only; AVI (hardsub) versions are not planned, except that the AVI version of 53v2 is available.

Wapiko’s Elopement Panic /
Love You, Tanakayama-san

This is our v2 release of Episode 53, where the next episode titles said in the preview were fixed. It also includes one minor timing tweak and about 30 additional “cleaned frames” (meaning, dirt was removed as in the following example):

(Click to enlarge)

The visual difference is not so significant though, because frame-by-frame cleaning is routinely done in our GfW releases and noticeably dirty frames were already cleaned in v1.
