Description

Cross Game, episode 1.

Netflix video, DVD audio, ANBU script.

Warning: bad typesetting. This is a 50 episode show, so there's no way I'm going to finish it unless I absolutely do the minimum work possible. "But motbob," I hear you say, "ANBU already made a release with godlike typesetting, so why are you doing this?" 'Cause their (sharpened) video is pretty bad, for one. And ANBU's audio is TV-sourced, so it doesn't have the great dynamic range the DVDs have. Oh, and they made the worst TL error in fansubbing history in episode 1. Hell, ANBU's release isn't even on Nyaa in the first place, so everyone is downloading the shitty CA release.

Wanna help out and typeset this? Hokay, have at it, send me the scripts when you're done so I can update the batch.

Please leave feedback in the comments, good or bad.
It is recommended that you use mpv, or MPC-HC with XySubFilter or AssFilterMod, to watch this and other releases of mine.
Anyone wanting to do their own release is free to use any part of this torrent without permission or credit.

It's been so long since I watched this, but did ANBU have no typesetting? Or are they all hardsubbed, since that was a thing in that time?

It's sharpened, and I know some people like sharper video Whatever the Cost, so you're probably not alone with your opinion there.

@Tennouji, ANBU hardsubbed the TS.

There's some big differences in that comparison, yeah. But I think the netflix video is the "correct" version because of stuff like this, where it appears that the MC was transformed into some kind of monster in the original TV airing (which ANBU uses). In other words, the studio is making the changes.

Also, in the netflix video, they appear to have fixed the lines surrounding home plate to reflect how they're actually laid out. I assume the blur is to cover up the unappealing, kind-of-sterile background without having to redraw.

it means it probably lines up with the creators intent. stop watching the tv airing of bakemonogatari.

idk? I want to get it done before Mix airs (since that's kinda what prompted me to bite the bullet on this) but I don't think that will happen.

I was actually just talking with herkz and Xythar about how good a first episode this is a few days ago.

But holy shit, Mix is getting an anime? The Touch anime is my favourite anime ever, and the Cross Game anime is pretty high up there too.

As usual you are full of shit motbob. CA released a very good version. We put many hours into the 50 episodes we released. We used the video sources available at the time. We released 2 sizes for folks at the time. We only have one version up now because we didn't see the need for 2 at this time. I was even thinking of doing a DVD release since have it as well at this time. You must really have a strange hatred in your heart for CA. Unlike you I don't go out of my way to trash someone else's work.

I will always curse the Chinese cartoon gods until this gets a full BD release and comes with a limited edition lifesize Aoba figure.

Heibi, thanks for the comment. That's cool that you are almost done with your DVD release. However, since the DVD release will look worse than the existing TV release (which is why no one's bothered to release a DVD-sourced release until now), perhaps a better idea than releasing it would be to delete your existing release and upload ANBU in its place.

As I was perusing your release once again, I noticed that not only does it have utterly garbage editing and timing, but ALL of the subtitles in ep. 01 also bleed over each other for ~two frames, which is quite a feat. I've never seen a mistake of this magnitude in any fansub release, let alone one that made it to a final batch of a show. This is the standard level of non-competency that I've come to expect from you all, so thanks for meeting my low expectations.

Motbob, I don't upload other's works or trash their works. The bleed overs are bleed overs(OMG two frames - the end of the fucking world has come - Motbob can't survive). Happens in many other groups' works at times. I don't sweat small mistakes. Everyone edits in different ways. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean you're correct. Our timing was good, other than bleed overs, which I already knew about years ago from someone else who told me about them. I tried to make sure they didn't happen as much after that. Wasn't using certain programs to help me avoid that back then. But we put in many hours, unlike you, who just takes someone else's works and puts them up like you created them from scratch and then go off on other groups because you are just so perfect. Learn to upload and shut the fuck up.

Heibi, thank you for the feedback. I understand your pride at having created something from scratch. However, in my view, it's not the creation process that matters, but the final product. After all, the final product determines whether the viewer will have a good or bad experience, and whether the efforts of the mangaka and studio to convey a great story will be able to reach the viewer.

I wish that you would stop making excuses for and/or downplaying the failures of a final product that is not up to even 2010 standards--a product that makes it very hard (or perhaps impossible) for a modern-day anime watcher to fully enjoy the show.

Dumb Q from a noob, is there any ocr program that can even half rip the subs/times that is not adobe level retarded in the UI/setup? I wish subtitle edit could do it but they focus on the sub picture formats from discs. I've tried subrip or whatever video ocr program it is but it makes adobe products look easy.... I can't even figure out how to setup the ocr to recognize letters so it can find them >< I fail!

On side note I have anbu up to ep 17 and subsmith 16-50, I don't mind sharpen,ect its not that annoying and most of the time you can be fixed with filter/shaders if its bad, audio can be annoying but no karaoke is the worst thing ever.....yes I know I have issues..... and frankly my issues have issues.

motbob If I may give some advice about pacing one self(which I myself never follow) try and do this as a side project and wait on scripts to come in or work on scripts during very lite days/weeks,ect. As much as I would love Cross Game in max quality I can wait for it.

Oh I doubled checked and Subsmith subs can be extracted with mkv clever I think...its mkv format and the subtitle ass file shows tho some mkv(mainly from animerg) are borked and mkvclever can't extract them, neither can mkvexstract, let me know and I will rip them and upload them. Also found an 8gb torrent on animebytes thats all anbu softsubs,so it says. MKV format 960x540 | AAC 2.0 | Softsubs (ANBU), would it help any to get it rip it or upload it here??

motbob - it's not an excuse, it's the truth. At the time we were using very old school techniques and were getting into using better programs. And people enjoyed our releases immensely and wouldn't even notice a 2 frame bleed over, or care. They didn't judge 2 frame bleed overs and most people don't, or call people's work shitty. I see pro release bleed overs along with grammar errors, but I don't call their work shitty. Only videophiles looking to criticize people's works had any problem. The final product looked good at the time and was not a failure. You just seem to like to criticize every little thing and hardly put any work into anything as far as I can see. Just keep using other group's works and shut up. Simply state what you used and be done with it. I never criticized ANBU's work either - I liked most of the stuff they put out and was satisfied even when they had mistakes. Get off your high horse already.

Looking at the bleed over example you provided - It's not in the version I have. Where and when did you download it?

This is like how live-evil complained when I said their shit was shit.

There are old subbers who subbed well even during that time. Just because you sucked with everyone else doesn't mean you didn't suck.

Heibi, I'm so sorry. The frame bleed was caused by something on my end. Sorry for basically slandering your release.

actually produce something instead of just ripping you slack jawed piece of shit.

I'd rather never sub than release the kind of garbage your group has put out over the years. Your releases are literally worse than nothing.

BTW, I've worked on tons of original translations, so your point is wrong and dumb.

herkz - you have no idea what you're talking about. And the praise for our accuracy and compliments we've received over the years far outweigh your minuscule opinion. Like I've told motbob in earlier back and forth discussions(not here) we have of course made mistakes. And we have our own style of subtitling, just like most people do. We don't complain about other people's works though.

Why would you give a fuck what moronic leechers have to say about your releases. Those are the kinds of people that think doki are good even though they can't even scanlate well.
