Release

An up-to-date Dual Audio release encoded in AV1 and OPUS for optimum size and quality. This release is not considered complete as the Crown Handler Movies are ongoing. Files are named to support media servers like Plex using TVDB metadata.

Not all episodes have the all languages available. S00E14-S00E15, Crown Handler 4, EN audio is not yet available.

Long story short, all Crown Handler EN subtitles should match in style and have some minimum of basic punctuation, grammar, timing, and OP/ED lines. Do not expect perfection - we have never done anything like this before and we do not intend on making a habit of it either. Long story here.

We heavily edited the EN subtitles for S00E14, Crown Handler Chapter 4. The translation was done by Dwarffell and the text was extracted by Techmod. We fixed some grammar and added the missing dialogue and punctuation missed in translation or extraction. Yarashii's FR subtitles were used as a better base for timing and formatting. We restyled it to match the EN subtitles from ML04 (Cait-Sidhe).

We similarly edited SubsWhen's EN subtitle for S00E12, Crown Handler Chapter 3, and S00E09, Crown Handler Chapter 2. For S00E12 in particular, we changed several lines for better timing and higher accuracy while also referencing the official subtitles. Here is an early retimed draft including notes for editing lines. Crown Handler OVAs were also retimed, edited, and restyled. We manually recreated and edited S00E15 subtitles from David8745's video.

For every Crown Handler movie applicable, we added the Opening lines from Hakoniwa's ES subtitle and the Ending lines we edited ourselves using the same style from Season 1 (Cait-Sidhe).

This project is a production with the goal of the smallest video size with moderate subjective compromises to image quality. This is not the hallmark of AV1, but close enough. This release should only contain changes to the video stream and audio tracks. The subtitle and attachment tracks are usually copied from the noted sources. Timings are not adjusted except in cases of extreme delay as a result of mixing sources. - SavI0r
