@Spc_away I hope someone would one day collect everything in one place. As it is now, the entire franchise is spread all over like a shattered jigsaw puzzle...
Thanks for the up booman!
Spc_away/Blanchimont: I am always on the search for better quality versions to piecemeal together a full "perfect" set, but as you seem to already know: this series is a nightmare when it comes to that. I think we're in a pretty solid spot translation-wise as the 'voice' of the series is consistent for the most part (at least in my collection). It's more an issue of video quality/consistency at this point. If I had the money I'd just import and rip everything myself, but even then I'm not entirely sure if there is a BD source available for everything (I think some were DVD exclusives that were bundled with various manga volumes?). Hopefully one day it will be complete.... I just don't expect it anytime soon :P
yes would be nice if someone made a complete torrent, there are pieces everywhere most of which have no seeds anymore and this I wish 720p was available, I really dont have 7GB just to store a few episodes of SYD
I'd upload my collection since it's complete and properly organized, but the season 2 OVAs are still a total mess in terms of video quality and the current movie RAW has some audio problems. As it is right now the whole thing comes in at around 30GB, which would take me forever to upload on my home connection (roughly 80+ hours according to my calculations) and sadly my seedbox doesn't work on public trackers.
As for 720p versions: you're probably better off temporarily getting the 1080p versions and then doing your own encodes. Or wait and hope that once a full 1080p set is available someone will do subsequent full 720/480 versions as well.
If you really want to get everything you can in 720 or lower right now with minimal re-encoding on your part, these are the downloads I'd suggest:
Season 1 [1-13] (720):
https://nyaa.si/view/830853
Season 1 OVAs [14-21] (mixed 480/1080)
https://nyaa.si/view/492970
Season 2 [1-13] (720):
https://nyaa.si/view/563377
Season 2 OVAs [14-18] (mixed 480/720):
https://nyaa.si/view/934652
Season 2 OVA [19] (480):
https://nyaa.si/view/883853
Season 2 Movie [aka 20-21] (1080):
https://nyaa.si/view/1004251
(OR get the original raw here: https://nyaa.si/view/999678 and use the newest softsubs here: https://nyaa.si/view/1012902)
Season 2 OVA [22] (480):
https://nyaa.si/view/998969
(then get https://nyaa.si/view/999333 to patch it up to the true final version)
The movie and three of the season 1 OVAs will need to be downsized yourself, but otherwise that should tide you over. Some of the content will be in 480 because 1) there are no sources higher than that, or 2) there are ONLY sources in 1080 that are packed together with other episodes. I may have missed single-episode uploads that are in 720, but this is already going to be a pretty tedious process if you're starting from scratch. All those torrents have adequate seeds as of this posting, though I can't verify how good the subs in some of them will be.
Only Season 2 OVAs 1 and 3-7 don't have any BD release yet. That'll probably change somewhen in the future, perhaps after the 8th OVA is released on the 16th this month.
I made an account just to comment here, thanks SYDfan, i was just going looking again after a hard drive failure when i had all the episodes last time i really want to keep a copy to re-watch at my pleasure lol
