But his lonely life is turned upside down by the arrival of Tachibana Yuzuki, his arranged bride. Her cheerfulness slowly heals Shima’s heart in this slice of life romance set during the Taisho era. ## Contents | | Season 1 | | :-- | :-- | | **Video** | 1080p AV1 10-bit | | **Audio #1** | **Japanese** Opus 2.0 128 kbps | | **Audio #2** | **English** Opus 5.1 256 kbps | || | **Subtitles** | | || | **English** | ```ASS``` **Full** [[Chihiro]](https://nyaa.si/view/1488294) _(Modified - see notes below)_ | | | ```PGS``` **Full** [[USBD]](https://nyaa.si/view/1693850) | | | ```ASS``` **Signs & Songs** [[Chihiro]](https://nyaa.si/view/1488294) _(Modified - see notes below)_ | | | ```PGS``` **Signs & Songs** [[USBD]](https://nyaa.si/view/1693850) | | **Arabic** | ```ASS``` [[Athbul-Khayal]](https://subf2m.co/subtitles/taishou-otome-otogibanashi-taisho-otome-fairy-tale/arabic/3529596) | | **French** | ```ASS``` [[Valérie]](https://nyaa.si/view/1474463) | | **German** | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/view/1869266) | | **Hindi** | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/view/1869266) | | **Indonesian** | ```ASS``` [[Kusonime]](https://kusonime.com/taishou-otome-otogibanashi-batch-subtitle-indonesia) | | **Persian** | ```ASS``` [[AnimWorld]](https://subf2m.co/subtitles/taishou-otome-otogibanashi-taisho-otome-fairy-tale/farsi_persian/2662026) | | **Portuguese** (Brazil) | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/view/1869266) | | **Russian** | ```ASS``` [[Истари Комикс]](https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6178279) | | **Spanish** (Latin America) | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/view/1869266) | | **Vietnamese** | ```SRT``` [[BILI]](https://subf2m.co/subtitles/taishou-otome-otogibanashi-taisho-otome-fairy-tale/vietnamese/2693353) | | | | **Chapters** | ✅ | | **Covers** | ✅ | **Notes on subtitles:** - Modifications done to the **English [Chihiro]** subtitles: - **EP 01:** **(1)** 0:08:40.83 (floof) - Slightly adjusted sign tracking; **(2)** 0:19:02.45 (Line 1903) (huff) - Inserted a missing comma in the fade tag. - **EP 02:** 0:08:19.55 - Turned double periods into an ellipsis. - **EP 04:** 0:16:25.75 - Turned double periods into an ellipsis. - **EP 05:** 0:06:42.63 (JNR) - Shifted the sign 1 frame backward to properly fit inside the scene. - **EP 06:** 0:08:28.65 (Big Sis) - Redid the sign tracking _(Chihiro's sign seems to have a slight shake effect, which the BD video doesn't have.)_. - **EP 07:** 0:03:58.01 (Wo-ow) - Shifted the sign 1 frame backward to properly fit inside the scene. - **EP 10:** **(1)** 0:02:53.77 - "W-What" → "Wh-What"; **(2)** 0:06:33.16, 0:08:18.22, 0:13:14.56 - curly apostrophe → straight apostrophe _(consistency)_. - **EP 11:** **(1)** 0:10:48.42 - Included the correct font for the grain _(The releases by [Chihiro](https://nyaa.si/view/1488294) and [Headpatter](https://nyaa.si/view/2005801) have the [wrong font](https://i.slow.pics/fBCWWKpF.webp) muxed in.)_; **(2)** 0:14:22.50, 0:16:45.41, 0:18:51.39 - curly apostrophe → straight apostrophe _(consistency)_. - **EP 12:** 0:10:37.29, 0:10:41.91 - curly apostrophe → straight apostrophe _(consistency)_. - All subtitles have been checked, and, if necessary, timed to make sure at least the dialogue is in sync with the audio. For languages other than English, I don’t guarantee frame-perfect sign sync, though. - ASS subtitles have been resampled, if necessary. - Fonts for non-English subtitles are [subset](https://github.com/wyzdwdz/assfonts), meaning they contain only the glyphs that are used. ## Sources **Video and Japanese audio:** [TTGA's BD remux](https://nyaa.si/view/1485880) (JPBD video) **English audio:** [Headpatter](https://nyaa.si/view/1987711) **Chapters (renamed, modified for EP 12):** KoushinRip's JPBDMV Vol. [1](https://nyaa.si/view/1482864) & [2](https://nyaa.si/view/1485441) **Covers:** [TheMovieDB](https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/wZps2MzUSyrXUu6cq40oivxaxU6.jpg) → [reduced JPEG artifacts](https://slow.pics/c/yFkL7CF6) ([JPG (60-80%)](https://openmodeldb.info/models/1x-JPG-60-80)), TheTVDB & stills from the episodes ## Encoding | Type | Tool | Settings | | :-- | :-- | :-- | | **Video** - Filtering | **[VapourSynth](https://www.vapoursynth.com)** | [denoise, anti-alias, deband, grain](https://bin.disroot.org/?6d306fd78f486d81#Do4wtCU1LGBgvgom3eU9iUvuBpUMs3Qbyc43RgBBoczB) | | **Video** - AV1 | [**SVT-AV1-PSY** v2.3.0-C-161eaaf5+d53dde2f](https://github.com/Akatmks/svt-av1-psy-quality/releases) + **[Av1an](https://github.com/rust-av/Av1an)** + [**Progression Boost** Max-Character-Butteraugli](https://github.com/Akatmks/Akatsumekusa-Encoding-Scripts/blob/7082f7f4b1de48f773c4ad75e10911850684a041/Progression-Boost/Progression-Boost.py) + **[Grav1synth](https://github.com/rust-av/grav1synth)** | ```--crf 11 --preset 2 --tune 0 --ac-bias 1.5 --tx-bias 3 --enable-restoration 0 --enable-cdef 0 --noise-norm-strength 3 --max-32-tx-size 1 --tf-strength 1 --balancing-q-bias 1 --high-fidelity-encode-psy-bias 1 --lineart-psy-bias 4 --texture-psy-bias 4 --texture-ac-bias 5 --luminance-qp-bias 30 --enable-qm 1 --qm-min 12 --qm-max 15 --chroma-qm-min 12 --chroma-qm-max 15 --enable-variance-boost 1 --variance-boost-strength 2 --variance-octile 4 --hbd-mds 1 --color-primaries 1 --transfer-characteristics 1 --matrix-coefficients 1 --color-range 0``` w/ _Progression Boost: scene detection only_ + FGS: ```--iso 200``` | | **Audio** - Opus | [**opusenc** 0.2-38-g0686cfb-dirty](https://github.com/Chocobo1/opus-tools_win32-build) (**libopus** v1.6.1) | ```--bitrate 256``` / ```--bitrate 128``` | ## Playback It is highly recommended to watch any AV1 release with an up-to-date media player. I personally recommend the **[mpv media player](https://thewiki.moe/tutorials/mpv)**, but [MPC-HC](https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases) or [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc) also support AV1 playback. _Note that some newer versions of VLC have issues with Opus surround sound playback. If you must use it, [v3.0.20](https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/3.0.20) apparently doesn't have this problem._ ___ | Comparisons / Screenshots | MediaInfo | | :--: | :--: | | [EP 02 - JPBD (26.0 Mb/s) (source) vs. JPBD (mpv deband) vs. RigAV1 (11.0 Mb/s) (encode) vs. CR (8 000 kb/s) vs. CR (mpv deband) vs. UCCUSS (7 140 kb/s) vs. Chihiro (3 291 kb/s) vs. YURASUKA (3 041 kb/s)](https://slow.pics/c/CW8Qr0DN) | [EP 01](https://bin.disroot.org/?21ac7df369b9ffa3#3LAh6J7uftEMeggbVLPWkpkpwksXDax24hhz4Gf5F45X) | ___
