This torrent is just a mix of Darkonius' release of the first 9 episodes in DVD quality which had the subs from GARlocks old release, with the rest of the episodes being from /m/ subs release of episodes 10-48.
I have decided to make this torrent because on /m/ subs release of the show they have GARlocks old release as the first 9 episodes which use really bad looking footage and the fact that the rest of the episodes they use have the Italian dub set as default on some episodes but then the Japanese on others which is really weird, some of them don't have the right language tags either and they never uploaded it to Nyaa so here I am!

I have set Japanese with the English subs made for the original Japanese audio as default and gave them the "JPN" tag while I gave the Italian dub and the English subtitles made for them the "ITA" tag so if you prefer to watch it that way then you can just set your language preferences for audio and subtitles to ITA but keep in mind they are only there for episodes 10-48.

I know it seems dumb to make a DVD torrent of a show that just got a BD release but last time I checked /m/ subs said they were 60% percent done with timing the subs up to BD but then they said they were also re-doing the subs for the first 9 episodes so I don't know how long that is gonna take, this release is just for people who can't wait or don't care about the Blu-Ray version.

I actually thought about doing a combined batch like this, but decided against it since the /m/subs batch had just come out, and by the time I got back to Dragonar the BD was announced.

As for the BD release, I'm working with /m/subs on it. The subs are all retimed now (save for a possible issue with the RAWs - the only BD rip, QTS, seems to have offset audio and a few frames missing at the start of each episode), but there is still some TLC/Editing work to be done on the Garlock episodes (the original Garlock subs sucked big time - they didn't even translate the previews) as well as some editing/QC on the batch as a whole. I really can't tell you when it's finally released sadly as the TLC is out of my hands, but I hope it will be soon since the BD version will have a lot of problems fixed, both in terms of source (the PAL DVDs going at 25fps and having bad audio etc., not to mention the video quality of the old rips) and the subs themselves (Garlock, inconsistent names and terms, timing, subbing from Italian instead of Japanese, typos) which still made it into the old DVD batch.

Anyway, if anyone has the BDs or BDMVs, please share them. It would really help us make the BD batch as good as it can be.

@Darkonius
If you know someone that has an Animebytes account there's a 720p BD raw on there. It's from QTS if you know how to contact them.

@Shinbo That's exactly the BD RAW we're having issues with. It's on anirena too btw, no need to go to AB. As for contacting them, I've never found any contact information, nor do I have much hope in getting anything out of it.

Hey @Darkonius! It is good to hear from you I just hope that my release will hold people over till the BD version comes out, you are doing God's work friend. BTW could you by any chance upload the ISO's for the Dragonar JP DVD's and could you also ask /m/ subs if they could upload the ISO's for the Italian DVD's since the Italian dub for episodes 1-9 isn't posted anywhere. I would love to have these simply for archival purposes plus having the rare Italian dub in the full AC-3 audio would be nice and I imagine it would also have Italian subtitles even if they would probably only be VobSub, if you could this for me then it would be greatly appreciated!

@Fatcatofalltime I don't have the Japanese DVD ISOs, my version is based on a now dead torrent on nyaa (https://nyaa.si/view/673804) - I just threw 1-9 from there into handbrake and muxed the subs into that. I don't think the R2J ISOs have ever been uploaded, only the ones for the bootleg DVD (https://nyaa.si/view/1409336).

As for the Italian DVDs, I've asked and I'll try to arrange for them to be uploaded.

@Darkonius Oh ok I have actually seen those torrents before and even downloaded the bootleg DVD version which I think is based on LaserDisc footage.

Leave a comment here again once they get around to uploading the ISO's, thank you!

@Fatcatofalltime
As it turns out, msubs never had a full DVD rip (they skipped the first DVD), and even the files they have seem to be incomplete. The full DVD ISOs are on U2 though, so I asked a buddy to grab it for you. Here's the torrent link:

Also, Gunlord asked me to invite you to the msubs discord, so here's an invite for that as well:
