Based on the incredible "the story so far" release of Monogatari Series by @dummy_dum_dum - https://nyaa.si/view/1246086
**Video, Subtitles, Chapters, Tags:** streams copied directly from the source (1080p, x265 / HEVC 10bit)
**Audio:** Japanese audio only, re-encoded using the lossless streams as a base:
* FLAC Stereo -> Opus Stereo @ 256kbps
* DTS-MA Surround -> Opus Surround @ 512kbps (only in Kizumonogatari and Zoku Owarimonogatari)
I could probably have gotten away with a lot smaller, but I decided to err on the side of caution and use similar bit-rates as [smplstc], e.g. in [their Code Geass release](https://nyaa.si/view/1262540).
In [this companion release](https://nyaa.si/view/1287996) I have shared all of the lossless audio streams from the source, to make life easier for anyone else who wants to make their own debloated release in the future.
**Problems fixed:**
* Bakemonogatari episodes 4 and 5 subtitles, using the [linked .ass files](https://mega.nz/folder/0JAThSoJ#0L1vrkHmo0sYQ-O_LHM9uw) from the comments thread.
* Added a few clarification language "Japanese (ja)" tags for the audio streams in the OP/ED files.
* One or two typos from the `Watch Order.txt` file.
* One or two of the OP/ED filenames.
**Problems inherited:**
* Bakemonogatari `NCOP 01` is missing.
* Hanamonogatari `NCED 01` has no audio tracks.
This is my first nyaa release - I've tried to double and triple check everything. If there are any serious issues I'll nuke the release and reupload. I appreciate any and all feedback!
Could you please give all the subtitles separately ,either GDrive or as a zip at MEGA.(or in this torrent if it's convenient for you)
I ask this as this is usually available at animetosho , but since the file size is big , it doesn’t have any attachments in its DDL.
kindly see to this request.
@b3nd0vah I was keeping the same ordering as the @dummy_dum_dum release mainly for ease of comparison. I understand they may change their ordering for any subsequent re-releases and if this happens I will follow suit.
@Itachibyakuya I'm quite tired today, but if I have chance tomorrow I will see what I can do. Sorry if this doesn't materialise - if anyone else does it in the meantime I'd definitely put the link up top (and mirror it myself).
EDIT: Oh God, I didn't realise quite how much of each file was just fonts! If I mux only the subtitles and fonts into an .mks file, each episode ends up being something quite ridiculous like 50MB. Doing a release of subtitles and font attachments would require a fair amount of effort to consolidate, especially if you care about knowing which fonts were for which sub track (as for most of the release, there are 2 different subtitle tracks. Maybe you could go ask @dummy_dum_dum themselves if they still have all this from their working directory when assembling the initial release? Link up top.
@oreharu - HEVC 10bit is different to AVC 10bit in that it can actually be hardware decoded (almost everything that will do HEVC 8bit will do HEVC 10bit), assuming your GPU is vaguely modern; assuming that's the source of your concern. But regardless - the video streams are directly copied from the @dummy_dum_dum release.
@Uchiah - The OPs and EDs for all the episodes are part of the episodes, for all the parts I watched, though there are also separate creditless OP/ED in almost all cases. (One is missing and another has no audio, but you'd need to talk to @dummy_dum_dum in the comments section of their original release if you wanted to know more.)
Thanks for this modified re-release. Saw that your source for this release was the arguably (?) the best one out there thats up to date for monogatari series, but felt to lazy to do all that work as instructed in the description of the torrent just to shave off 40 gb from that batch. Made an account just to say thank you. I'll be downloading this one to replace my old outdated copy. I'll stand by if ever someone finds something that needs fixing or something. Cheers!
