Description
NEW TORRENT WITH FIXED EPISODE 2 >>> HERE <<<
Ep 2 had wrong video, sorry. The only difference in the new release is ep 2, so if you have this one, you can just download the fixed episode 02v2 separately from this MEGA folder.
Did you know that due to licensing issues, the first ED, A Little Pain was excluded from the official Nana DVD release? It was replaced with the second ED, Starless Night, meaning that ED2 plays throughout the first 2/3 of the anime. This was not originally intended. The songs in Nana are closely linked to the story progression with both lyrics and mood, the fade-in at the end of each episode makes you associate specific story segments with the music. ED2 is not only unfitting for the beginning of the story, but it also weakens its influence in the story segment in which it's actually supposed to play.
Only having watched the TV version in the past, I was really sad when I found about this. You could always watch the TV version that had the original EDs, but the quality of a hardsub of an old series isn't too great. Besides, new watchers wouldn't even know about it. Something had to be done, so I did, and now you can get best of both worlds - DVD quality with original EDs!
-
Based on [Jinsei] DVD release.
-
Video is intact (ED animations are the same in TV and DVD)
-
For the episodes needed (1-18 + 41), combined the audio from TV and DVD versions so that TV EDs play at the right episodes. These episodes are in FLAC to prevent lossy-to-lossy compression. (Complete series size 14.2 GB --> 15.4 GB)
-
Replaced the ED lyrics and syllable karaoke effects for the right episodes (style taken from certain episode where the song plays as an insert song).
-
Fixed many subtitle style issues like some OP and ED custom fonts randomly missing, and inconsistent scaling settings for primary subtitles which made half of the episodes look different when scaled to full screen.

Thanks!
You went on IRC, but every time, you leave b4 I can reply. A few things:
When lossy is the only source available, you can only salvage the most of it or compress further. Lossless to lossy is easily transparent, double lossy has much higher risk of sounding like a facebook video. Also depends on how much you value audio quality, for some people even the slightest difference is infinitely better. Lossy quality FLAC might feel ridiculous especially when you compare FLAC vs compressed audio file sizes alone. But on a modern day, overall 1.2 GB increase for this long series isn't very significant either.
Episode 2 is a complete mess, the video isn't the correct video for the episode but the normal episode 2 audio still plays.
Thanks for the notice. V2 torrent here: https://nyaa.si/view/991585
Looks like when I was checking the release I just checked that audio fit in with subs but forgot to look at the video. Checked v2 more carefully.
