### Notes ###
- I tried but couldn't find a good source for the OVAs (which is a shame because I found some beautiful yellow VOBSUBs for them), so they are not included.
- I also tried to find a rip from the LP of the opening and ending, but couldn't find it as well. I did find though the opening and ending themes on another album which I copied them from.
- For the length of the episode, CQ29 was used, but for the opening and ending (not including the opening card/episode name and next episode previews), CQ37 was used. This was done to shave off some of the file sizes, and speed things up a little bit. The opening and ending included in the Extras folder were taken from episode 34, and were encoded using CQ29 as well.

### Some Words ###
This one took a while longer than expected, having to find space to get the source and also each episode took about 5h20m to encode, also had to share time between working, gaming and encoding since I only have one machine. Either way, it is finally done!
This one would be very straightforward, but I did some special treatment on it which complicated things a little bit. First, the episode itself (so, not considering the opening and ending) was encoded with a set of settings, and the opening and ending were encoded using another. As mentioned before, the episodes were encoded using CQ29 at CPU3 while the opening and ending were encoded using CQ37 at CPU4, and with more noise added. That is why there is a separate opening and ending included, not because they don't have credits (couldn't find NCOP or NCED for it), but because they were encoded using the same parameters as the episodes;
Second, I manually inserted a keyframe at every chapter boundary. So I had to go through the episodes finding the frames where the chapters would point to, and specified that I wanted a keyframe there for the encoder. This supposedly improves seeking performance considerably. Though the process is not particularly hard, it is repetitive and needs to be done for every episode individually.
And third, conserving film grain with AV1 is pretty hard, so I went with slower settings than usual (again, these episodes took about 5h20m each to encode, which is around 2x my usual times) and more aggressive noise values than usual.
One thing to note is, there are two font files I haven't muxed in with the episodes, and are instead inside the Extras\Fonts folder. Why? Because these two fonts would add 136mb to the episodes file sizes. 136mb times 34 episodes, that would inflate the total release size quite a lot. So instead of adding these files to all the episodes I decided to leave them separated to conserve space.
Another thing to notice is, I couldn't find the LP for the opening and ending themes, but I could find them in a compilation CD from 2006, so I added them instead.

As usual, my releases are meant to be watched using mpv, preferably on a PC. It probably works on other players, but that is beyond me.
I'm always open to suggestions on what to encode next, particularly of older media such as DVDs or LDs, controverial media and/or loli content! If I can find a source or someone provides it to me, I can encode!
As someone who works alone (as in, I am not in any team or group) and is not into any closed circles, it is hard to find things sometimes. If you have something that I'm looking for and is willing to share, would like to be encoded but don't want to do it yourself, don't want it to be released under your name or just don't know how to do it, you can talk with me via IRC and I can do it for you.

## **Currently looking for the following things. Any Raw, Remux or Good Encode work. High Priority. The older the medium it was sourced from or the less censored it is, the better.** ##
