hey Acedia,

that would make a lot of sense.

i’m very impressed that chihiro are taking twice the effort for this season by double-releasing all the episodes.

thanks very much!

@Posix

I don’t really know the reasons for this, but I believe the initial airing of the show is, for some arbitrary reason, butchered down (pan&scan) to 4:3 aspect ratio. The widescreen version is then aired about 3 weeks later.

If anyone knows more, feel free to explain further.

thank you for this release.

question; why is it you first release a 4:3, then a 16:9 version? shouldn’t the original source from jap tv be 16:9? why is it you even bother the pan-and-scan for a 4:3 release in the first place?

thanks for clarifying.

@surasshu: I’d suggest PSPVC, that’s the conversion program I’ve been using lately. Converts to .mp4 files for the PSP, and I believe it has settings for PS3 and Xbox 360 specifically as well.

Here’s hoping I can watch this series without letting Mio convince me to trade in my lefty guitar for a lefty bass. Fingers crossed.

Awesome release, cant wait for the next episode.

Looks swell on my TV, and I’ve grown strangely addicted to the ED.

What Desbreko said. The OP and ED of the 480p don’t have the correct aspect ratio.

Viper7: Microsoft is deader than dead. Nobody cared about the crap called Vista, nobody’s going to get *indows 7. SONY? I can has rootkit?!? No fangs.

YES, there are super-cheap stand-alone players that support MKV with soft-subs and H.264 in HD resolution. Get your head out of your arse.
