And well, since you already have 3 versions, if anyone REALLY is this purist about nostalgia, they can always opt for the old 640x480 subs synced with the DVDs. For the VHS version they made sense as the low resolution and big overscan needed some big-ass subtitles that simply wouldn't fit in two lines, not much point in keeping them just for nostalgia sake, but for a restoration that is going too far. That is going too far just for "Nostalgia sake". I had similar problem when working on my release having to fine sync half a dozen of different languages subs for the BD timing on those episodes.īut unfortunately, without these corrections I think many people would not want to watch these subs as they will hardly have an older SD raw/soft-subbed version of Eva laying around in they hard drive that sync with these subs properly, and the desync with the BD is too much for an enjoyable experience.ģ) A scene-change adjusted sync would be nice, but is not mandatory, if you are going also for the feeling of oldschool subs (with the yellow styling and squarish font), I suppose that is not needed.Ĥ) I would also suggest spliting the triple lines. Some shots are 8 frames late, others as much as 15. (PS: 2d4u version has not correct timings in a couple of episodes, I suggest you use either the original BD's or my version for retiming the subs)Ģ) Also, the signs overlays for episode 14, 25 and 26 must manually be resynced to be 1-frame accurate. Most episodes just need around -500ms delay adjustment, but that is not constant, some episodes have a longer middle title card, needing further adjustments for the second half. Your work was pretty awesome, must have taken ages, you really did put a lot of work into this, but nevertheless I still must give some suggestions:ġ) You most definitely should do a Blu Ray synced version as the DVD renewal version nowadays is pretty obsolete for most people.
I've been watching these for the nostalgia. If you catch an error or think of a way to improve my subtitles, let me know! If I make a change based on your help, I will gladly give you credit (as long as you're okay with that).Īnd if anyone can find fonts that are a closer match to the VHS subtitles than the ones I'm using, please let me know! The fonts I'm using are close, but aren't quite perfect.Įdit: I took some of the release notes and added them here (for more detail, see the documents in the download). Some of these restored shots are a work in progress, which I plan to improve on with the next release. Instructions are included in the download. But please note that aside from these changes, I've made an incredibly meticulous effort in preserving every detail of the VHS subtitles as closely as possible, including the font.Īlso included with these subtitles are AVS scripts that will automatically restore most of the shots that ADV edited for episodes 1–4 of the Perfect Collection DVDs.
These corrections have also been documented so you know exactly what's different. I've also corrected grammar and spelling, inconsistent terminology, and English idioms. This may shock some of you, given some of the infamously erroneous translations of the VHS tapes-which is why I've taken the liberty to correct them. Overwhelmingly, I have found the VHS dialog to be superior.
Each release has featured a slightly different script for the subtitled dialog.
#BAKEMONOGATARI EPISODE 14 TRANSLATION ASSHOLE SERIES#
So far, there have been three official versions of the series with English subtitles (VHS, Perfect Collection, and Platinum Edition). Happy Second Impact Day, and Happy 20th Anniversary to all you hedgehogs out there! This is a set of subtitles for Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995–1996) based on the original VHS tapes released by ADV Films.
