Digimon Classic Collection 2DS

  # **`THE VIDEO:`** #### *Note: I'm not very good at video scripting. But without it, I couldn't properly enjoy some of these because of how bad their sources look to me.* ### **Digimon Adventure: [Source - CXRAW - 1080p](https://nyaa.si/view/888526)**   Side-by-side comparison isn't really the way to go when it comes to video scripting. Here're full frame image-on-image comparisons (focus on/around the lines while clicking on image): **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 1](https://slow.pics/c/qqO23UqO)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 2](https://slow.pics/c/IviHR8Xv)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 3](https://slow.pics/c/PcgWSrUW)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 4](https://slow.pics/c/79xsUEPe)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 5](https://slow.pics/c/WA4b91I0)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 6](https://slow.pics/c/hhRRxJQf)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 7](https://slow.pics/c/N8m9weAM)** ### **Digimon Adventure 02: [Source - FYRAW - 1080p](https://nyaa.si/view/812822)**   In this case, you CAN actually see the difference from a side-by-side screenshot, lol that's how bad it is. Nonetheless, full frame comparisons (focus on/around the lines): **[FYRAW vs 2DS - 1](https://slow.pics/c/oo1HYi1F)** **[FYRAW vs 2DS - 2](https://slow.pics/c/u1Tk1pc1)** **[FYRAW vs 2DS - 3](https://slow.pics/c/NKVLoaVL)** **[FYRAW vs 2DS - 4](https://slow.pics/c/6CCzmAG5)** **[FYRAW vs 2DS - 5](https://slow.pics/c/AKn2pUAc)** **[FYRAW vs 2DS - 6](https://slow.pics/c/30owKUZc)** **[FYRAW vs 2DS - 7](https://slow.pics/c/W0hVokb0)**  Here's CXRAW vs the same frames I used earlier: **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 1](https://slow.pics/c/5h0BqZS8)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 2](https://slow.pics/c/Dj4GIn6u)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 3](https://slow.pics/c/rr0Ey1uo)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 4](https://slow.pics/c/UgtTjEBt)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 5](https://slow.pics/c/MRHd1TLE)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 6](https://slow.pics/c/y50ZYoof)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 7](https://slow.pics/c/4zVRQrwa)** **BUT, this is all subjective. If you prefer CXRAW, you can always get them from [VeloEncodes' release](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=veloencodes+digimon).** ### **Digimon Tamers: [Source - CXRAW - 1080p](https://nyaa.si/view/1031323)** These look really good. Nowhere near as bad as 01 or 02. Also, the smudgyness is no more, thank God. BUT... the lines look a bit blurry & washed out. So I fixed them. & applied some other filters for preference.  Full frame comparisons: **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 1](https://slow.pics/c/2tkoPzaM)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 2](https://slow.pics/c/LIqRh5jc)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 3](https://slow.pics/c/ea63QBhs)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 4](https://slow.pics/c/5HBgqiQm)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 5](https://slow.pics/c/Sdp0cXMz)** ### **Digimon Frontier: [Source - CXRAW - 1080p](https://nyaa.si/view/1146662)** Same as Tamers. Looks really good. No smudgyness, again thank God. BUT... the lines look a bit blurry & aliased.  Full frame comparisons: **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 1](https://slow.pics/c/LiVvQdKo)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 2](https://slow.pics/c/iAAoPm5e)** **[CXRAW vs 2DS - 3](https://slow.pics/c/KPeUBC7N)** ### **Digimon Movies:** **Movies 1 - 4: [Source - Aznable - 1080p](https://nyaa.si/view/881402)** **Movies 5 - 7: [Source - Fullmetal - 1080p](https://nyaa.si/view/1255921)**  ### **Digimon Adventure Tri.: [Source - Koten Gars - 1080p](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=koten+digimon)** Best source I could find. There are 6 movies. The 1st one has haloing & oversharped lines. Fixed. As for the remaining 5, just did some small filtering for preference.  ### **Digimon Adventure 20th Anniversary Memorial Story: [Source - RyRo - 1080p](https://nyaa.si/view/1326642)** The lines had slight blue chroma bleed. Fixed. ### **Digimon Adventure Last Evolution Kizuna: [Source - JP BDMV - 1080p](https://nyaa.si/view/1276554)** The lines looked a little bit aliased. Fixed. # **`THE SUBTITLE:`** ### **Digimon Adventure / 02 / Tamers / Frontier:** Digimon Adventure - [Source: RyRo + Shadowfox](https://nyaa.si/view/1242353) Digimon Adventure 02 - [Source: Positron-Puto](https://nyaa.si/view/137537) Digimon Tamers - [Source: Wildbunch-PLSP-card](https://nyaa.si/view/923133) Digimon Frontier - [Source: Positron-LS](https://nyaa.si/view/352656) I'm not very good at fansubbing, but I just could not get on board with the state of these subs as they are. So I made some modifications of my own. I went through all the sub files one by one & made the following changes - #### **Re-Typesetting:** I manually reapplied typesetting to all Signs, Titles, NEP-Titles etc. & restyled all the dialogues as well.    #### For the dialogues, I've used the same styles with a different vibe for each. (Left to Right - Adventure to Frontier)  #### **Re-Sync:**  #### **Karaoke:**    ### **Digimon Movies:** Source: [Fullmetal's release](https://nyaa.si/view/1255921). Original Source: The same groups that did the shows a.k.a RyRo/Positron/Puto/Wildbunch/PLSP Like before, I restyled/retypeset everything. ### **Digimon Adventure Tri.:** #### Source: The PGS subs used in [Koten Gars](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=koten+digimon).    #### (Btw, go & listen to the 3rd ED song - "Boku ni Totte" by Knife of Day. I've probably listened to it like a thousand times by now. It's soooo gooood.) ### **Digimon Adventure 20th Anniversary Memorial Story:** #### Source: [RyRo](https://nyaa.si/view/1326642) Just applied typesetting to all the signs.  ### **Digimon Adventure Last Evolution Kizuna:** #### Source: [Kizuna Subs](https://nyaa.si/view/1322256)   # **`THE AUDIO:`**  # **`Watching Order:`**  # **`Final Notes:`** #### *As I've said before, I'm not very good at video scripting nor at fansubbing. I just worked with what I have/know... and make a version that looks best to my eyes. Of course, I'm talking in a subjective sense here. I'm sure others could've done a much better job at this. So I apologize if this release wasn't up to your standard.* #### **Tools used in this Project:** AvsPmod, ffmpeg, Aegisub. #### **Why not x265/HEVC/10bit?** => I'm much more comfortable with x264 8bit. I don't know much about x265 and I refuse to use the built-in presets in it. I very much dislike built-in presets. As for 8bit - for compatibility with older devices / TVs. #### **Why not FLAC?** => I've already given my reason in the audio section. Besides, this release is a remake, not a remux. #### **Why not Dual Audio?** => Dubs make me nauseous. #### **Why mp4 instead of mkv?** => should be common knowledge but like mkv, mp4 is just a container, not a codec. So relax. #### **Why Hardcoded Subtitles?** => Couple of reasons: a) For compatibility with older devices / TVs. b) I've used an insane amount of custom fonts in this Project. There's no way I could've kept track of them all. So, hardsubbing saves me the trouble of going into my system fonts folder & picking out all the different fonts I used & attaching them to the videos. I'm too lazy for that. Hardsubbing basically kept things hassle-free for me. #### I was thinking of uploading the subs to a separate link. Then I realized, uploading would also require me to pick out the fonts. So I'm not really sure what to do here. I mean... I don't even know if people are gonna like these subs. Anyways, I'm not gonna worry about it too much. #### If, by some miracle, any of you happen to like my shitty ass subs (no pun intended), let me know. #### **I've uploaded a few episodes from each series to the following link... to help you decide whether you wanna get this release or not.** #### `aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWdhLm56L2ZvbGRlci81cnhXR0lRSyNpUGtOQ1JEN2lHYmxEM1BVZ0ptU0F3` (copy-paste in base64decode) ##### (Just remove the ".2ds" from the extension) #### **No love for Savers & Xros Wars?** => Never liked Savers (well... not as much as the rest). Never watched Xros. Also, they are not classics. "Then why'd you do Tri?" Bro there's no way I was gonna ignore the OG Taichi-gang. Besides, since Savers & Xros are more modern anime, I'm sure there are good releases of them available everywhere. #### *And finally...* I only have one request to you guyz - Please don't hate-masturbate in the comment section. If you don't like this release, then feel free to give feedback or constructive criticism, I'm all ears. Just don't be toxic bro, that's all I ask. #### **Also, please let me know if you find any errors/issues in any episode(s). Although I was careful through & through, "To err is human".** ### *That's all from me I guess. For some reason, writing this description felt like more work than the actual work... lol. To close out, here's a short story about me & digimon. Feel free to read/ignore.*
