Video, audio, and CR subs are from VARYG’s releases.

Encode

Episodes 1-6 were x265 CRF 16, tune Animation, Placebo preset. Eventually I realized how stupid it was to use Placebo and went to VerySlow, then later to Slower since it didn’t have a major quality downgrade. This show doesn’t really need that much bitrate regardless. No filtering was done. I’m not an encoder, but this result looks fine IMO.

Note: In episode 8 at 10m24s, one of the phone sections has color correction(/a LUT) applied to the pillarboxing, which is not present in the other stylized shots in this scene. Presumably this is a fuckup, so I added a mask in the subtitle tracks to make the pillarboxes black again. Could have probably fixed this in the encode itself somehow, but this was way easier.

Audio

The english dub isn’t half bad from what I’ve heard of it so far, but please for the love of god switch back to the japanese track for the ED songs. The audio quality (or at least the volume) is way lower in the english dub track. I added a note about this to episode 1’s signs & songs track.

Other Notes

I’ve included (in the “Extras” folder) the less censored versions of the illustrations that appear in episode 5. You can also find them on the anime’s website here. Very unfortunate that they apparently aren’t even giving the uncensored version of illust 4 in the BDs tho

I’m not marking this as a remake because the subs are (mostly) my own, and I think that’s the proper way of handling this? Sorry if not, the rules aren’t particularly clear in defining “Reencode of an original release”.

Subtitles

These are meme subs (ish). this show is a meme. are you surprised?

oh also i used mtl for some of the signs that CR was too lazy to sub, but heavily modified & often researched. thus there are quite a few T/Ns.

A lot of these signs are genuinely unreadable at 1x speed, which I only realized after episode 6 or so, giving me a convenient excuse to get a whole lot lazier with the live chat signs. Quite a few in the latter half of the show were just left as CR’s with no modification, and I focused on the actually interesting typesetting instead.

All 11 unique EDs (& the OP) have english lyrics & K-timed romaji. The insert song in episode 12 has english lyrics (slightly modified CR).

Sidenote: I know that these aren’t the most reputable sources for lyrics but I did extensive QC and modifications to make them work. The results are… fine, in my opinion.

Episode	ED Romanization	ED Translation	Notes
Ep01	Lyrical-Nonsense	Lyrical-Nonsense	OP lyrics are also modified lyrical-nonsense
Ep02	animesonglyrics	lyricstranslate	I modified some of the english lyrics iirc
Ep03	vocaloidlyrics fandom	vocaloidlyrics fandom	Some of the romanization was modified with genius’s romanization I think
Ep04	Lyrical-Nonsense	Crunchyroll	Sorry for the k-timing being completely different between romaji & english, trust me it only gets worse in ep12 lol
Ep05	Oyasumi	Oyasumi	I’m not 100% sure who did the Welcome to the NHK ED, but I yoinked their translation. I think I already had romaji at that point but I think I also cross-checked it with theirs. It’s been like 3 months tho lol
Ep06	RomajiDesu & LyricsTranslate	RomajiDesu & LyricsTranslate	I originally got romaji via MTL, then later managed to find this website that had a transliteration already. it’s probably also MTL to be fair, but it’s nice to have a reference.
Ep07	japanese lyrics via Shazam, transliterated via RomajiDesu, crosschecked w/ tokyogirlsupdate.com	tokyogirlsupdate.com	slightly modified their english translation
Ep08	vocaloidlyrics fandom	vocaloidlyrics fandom	modified their english translation quite a bit (e.g. “and we couldn’t walk well” -> “and we couldn’t move forward”)
Ep09	legendz fandom	legendz fandom	mostly left this one alone iirc
Ep10	japanese lyrics via JOYSOUND.com, transliterated via RomajiDesu	RomajiDesu & google translate (unfortunate)	couldn’t find romaji/english for this anywhere, at least back when the episode came out
Ep11	project-imas.wiki	project-imas.wiki	english translation heavily modified
Ep12	Lyrical-Nonsense	Crunchyroll	Same as Ep04 except for the styling. The k-timing for the english being different than for the romaji is super distracting, i am aware. i’m just too lazy to change it
Ep12 Insert	None	Crunchyroll

These subs aren’t completed by any means, I just simply cannot continue with this project or I’ll go insane. We’re talking hundreds of signs per episode. And they aren’t all terrible… but some of them really do suck. Feel free to grep the sub files for “TODO”. Also, don’t expect the mocha tracks to be perfect or anything. I did my best to not make them unwatchably jumpy, but some of them still look kinda shitty. Some of them blend in literally perfectly though, so I’m not sure what my problem is lol

I DID NOT QC the signs & songs track. I tried my best to preserve any translation notes from the full subs, but other than that I literally spent zero effort making them. Just selecting all the dialogue and deleting it. This project has already taken far too long as it is.

just me :-)
