[LostYears] Natsume's Book of Friends - S05 v2 (BDRip 1080p Hi10P AAC Opus) [Dual-Audio] | Natsume Yuujinchou Go | 夏目友人帳 伍

A remux of CyC's (sergey_krs') encode with unmodified Commie BD subs, featuring an accompanying signs & songs sub track, and CR English audio. The Japanese audio was encoded from 24 bit FLAC into 192 kbps Opus to shave off a couple GBs of space.

v2 changes:

• Replaced CyC's modified Commie subs with original Commie subs
• Encoded 24 bit FLAC audio to Opus 192 instead of 16 bit FLAC (quite bloaty)
• Resynced all English audio to be slightly more precise
• Added a couple missing fonts and replaced some others with Commie's versions
• Grouped the season's episodes and the related OVAs in one release

Please watch the entire season and then the two OVA, labelled as S00E03 and S00E04 in this release’s “Specials” subfolder. If you’re gonna drag them into the main folder, please rename the former to S05E12 and the latter to S05E13, so that they alphabetically order after the main episodes and don’t confuse you. Thanks. Both in absolute and airing orders those two OVA should be watched after their season.

Why the change in subs?

CyC has made a ton of questionable edits to Commie's subs - the styling choices for the typesetting and the dialogue were altered and honorifics were added to fit his preferences, which, after some consideration, seem to have worsened the overall quality of Commie's fansubs. We had used CyC's subs originally mainly because he's synced Commie's to the BD (did not notice that Commie has done so as well) and simply restyled the awful dialogue style to at least make them watchable. A couple comparisons are hyperlinked below to illustrate my point.

Season 1 (Natsume Yuujinchou)
Season 2 (Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou)
Season 3 (Natsume Yuujinchou San)
Season 4 (Natsume Yuujinchou Shi)
→ Season 5 (Natsume Yuujinchou Go)
Season 6 (Natsume Yuujinchou Roku)

Now we're ready for the seventh season's dub debut later today. Our S07E01 remux will come out tomorrow, however, as we will wait for Commie to release his third episode's subs containing OP/ED lyrics, which we will use starting from the first one. Following releases will be on Mondays.
