Synopsis:
The student-filled Academy City is at the forefront of scientific advancement and home to the esper development program. The seven "Level 5" espers are the most powerful in Academy City, and ranked third among them is middle schooler Mikoto Misaka, an electricity manipulator known as "The Railgun."
When strange incidents begin occurring throughout the city, she finds each crime to be connected to the elusive "Level Upper," a legendary device that allegedly increases the esper level of its user. As the situation escalates, it becomes apparent that there is more to the Level Upper than meets the eye, and that Academy City may be a far more twisted place than the glamorous utopia it appears to be.
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun focuses on Mikoto and her friends—and the dangerous situations they find themselves in—as they get caught up in the matter of the Level Upper. As Mikoto says, "There's never a dull moment in this city."

How to play :
AV1 is a fairly new format and therefore has still playback and performance issues, especially with 10bit content.
It’s suggested to use MPV (https://mpv.io/) or the latest VLC Nightly (https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win64/).
If VLC is lagging: Try increasing the “File caching (ms)” to e.g. 1000ms.
Mobile Devices or weaker CPU’s may have not enough power to play these files.
Performance improvements from the decoder are still work in progress.

Unfortunate non-transparent audio bitrate, contrasting the high quality of the video.
Thanks for the AV1 encode.

Also a reminder this was in 2014, OPUS has improved since then.
@kanone
96-128kbps Opus is for Music Storage purpose. You won't be able to tell the difference, or atleast you won't be able to tell me which sounds better. We have made mulitple listening tests without knowing which encode was 96kbps and 128kbps. 5/6 people said, that the encode with 96kbps sounded better.
Opus at 96kbps is pretty much the sweet spot.
You said earlier in another torrent:
this is tbh a very bad understanding of the bitrate / quality improvements of OPUS. You won't be able to tell the difference between 128kbps and 160kbps. OPUS was designed for low bitrate encoding.
If you want us as group to change the bitrate of Opus, then you have to bring up some scientific proof, that Opus at 96kbps has bad quality compared to Opus 128kbps.
@HAV1T: I do follow and recommend following Xiph.org's recommendations (128kbit) rather than to try to be too clever and extrapolate for everybody based on just on my audio equipment and ears: It is circumstantial and of no value.
Poorly conducted listening tests are of questionable value. Subjective "Better" holds no value. Transparency to the source is all that matters. You can ABX or you cannot ABX.
While Xiph recommends 128kbps, hydrogenaudio's recommendations for transparency are even higher. And I'm humbled by hydrogenaudio. They know their shit, and they regularly conduct, correctly, large-scale double-blind ABX testing.
I'm not your mother, and I'm not here to tell you how you should do your encodes. You're free to do whatever you want.
Thanks for the AV1 encode.
@Montec: Opus is absolutely awesome. It fools me at quite low bitrates. And that test was a pretty good one I did read about when it happened. Do note that even though it was back then, some of the samples weren't transparent at 96kbit for some of the participants. And we have no proof this changed, so I suggest we play it safe by following Xiph's 128kbit recommendation.
