Man, this turned out to be some pretty amusing release timing.
Video: iAHD (US BD)
Audio: iAHD (Converted to FLAC, otherwise untouched)
Subs: kBaraka edited+timeshifted (Font fixes, tweaked “progress toward explosion” TS, a few small dialogue changes, and nobody would ever actually say “Brother” in the third person)
Video/audio for shorts: Akatomba-kBaraka
NCED is straight from Akatomba-kBaraka, and since the NCOP doesn’t exist (From what I can tell, the credits are part of the original animation), I cut out the OP (with credits) from episode 1.

also on the table for after that:

Alright, cool. I was hoping you weren’t doing Asobi Asobase since I started on that recently (doing the same as you did with Comic Girls).

Any particular reason you opted to use iAHD’s US BD video over Akatomba-kBaraka’s Japanese BD video?

I wanted to include the dub, and I didn’t want to bother with either chopping off the first second of iAHD’s audio or adding a second to the beginning of Akatomba’s video if I could’ve avoided it.

So… you have no problem converting iAHD’s audio to FLAC, but removing the first second so that it allows for a better encode to be used throughout the whole show is too much of a hassle.
HMMM

Converting to FLAC is just a matter of tossing it into ffmpeg. Chopping the audio requires figuring out precisely how much to actually chop off, since it’s probably not exactly a second.
What’s wrong with iAHD’s encode?
Scyrous
I feel like syncing/encoding audio is one of the least time-consuming parts of making a dual-audio release. Maybe that’s just me. Load up the two tracks in Audacity and figure out the delay from there. You could just mux the FLAC audio with a negative delay, or incorporate the difference in Audacity and encode to FLAC from there.
iAHD mostly (if not exclusively) does USBD encodes, which are generally (I would say over 99% of the time) worse than JPBD. As for the actual encoding, I believe they just toss it into Handbrake and no filtering is done. Or maybe that was DHD.
In any case, Akatomba would certainly be an improvement.

Noted, thanks. I’ll keep this in mind for the future. I guess I didn’t give enough credit to the delay field.
