Why did I make this release?

Originally, I was planning to simply upgrade the currently best release's HIDIVE English audio (ass) to Opus encoded from the USBD. However, there were a bunch of issues with his release that I couldn't not fix. The uploader simply ran his Default-style removing template on the subs to create Forced tracks, didn't do enough, if any, quality assurance (he admitted himself to not having watched the show), ripped and included all HIDIVE and NF subs and just published the result like that (not giving automation users the best reputation). Well, MTBB's subs have a separate "TV Show" style used for the dialogue in the beginning of the episodes 6 and 7, and that spoken in English dialogue stayed in ZeroBuild's forced track (it should not). A mask was unintentionally marked in the "Default" style on a sign in episode 1 was removed in the Forced track (now that sign is almost unreadable). Pieyon's challenge song in episode 5, which is undubbed in the English audio, but not in the "Songs" styles in any of the fansubs was left unsubbed. However ZeroBuild refused to repack his release this late, so here I am with my own mux. My other thoughts were...

"Why didn't MTBB, ZeroBuild, or any other release include subbed NCs, both the OP and the ED in this show are bangers!"

"Man, why are MTBB's songs so minimal and simple? I like stylized karaoke lyrics. Why is the ED completely unsubbed?"

"What about Starsugen's cool subs? I actually prefer their dialogue and sign typesetting."

"What about non-English fansubs? Actually, Dantalian has a nice (and still active!) Spanish fansub for this show!"

"Talking about non-English, Studio Band's Russian dub with dubbed songs for this show is actually so good!"

Yeah, you get the point. So I speedran this shit before starting my Season 2 releases later this week and barely clutched it. This was very tiring and repetitive but I hope it was worth it. I watched Season 1 twice, once subbed and once dubbed (do not listen to Xitter, the dub is not as bad as it seems out of context from short clips), I'd definitely like to rewatch it in Russian one day. It's a good show, worth your time to check it out, and its second season is actually airing right now, so now's a great time to starting catching up if you haven't yet started it!
