Thank you very much @ot4ku for reporting this!

V2-Edits:
Proper deinterlacing and decimation process as well as fixed edges, degrain and debanding.
Subtitles now have the translations for the robot-endings.

Thanks N/A 🇺🇦 for reporting. P.S: The bluray's subtitles are not superior; they have their own problems.

V1-Edits:
Restyled op/ed (S2 with karaoke).
Improved all of the translated signs.

Episodes have been cut according to the blu-ray chapters.
Deinterlaced the entire series.
