[K-F-R] One Piece - Kaizoku-Fansubs Revamped - 0001 to 0020 [R2J] [VFR]

The goal of this project is to preserve the translation work done by Kaizoku-Fansubs in tandem with AKUPiXel, pairing it with the best filtered video encode.

Styling for narrator, title, thoughts, flashbacks and overlaps are retained in this project (Even the nightmare style in episode 13) and in some instances, fixed to maintain consistency.

Overlap styling is also postion based to retain the original intent. Translation notes are also retained with the same styling.

Every italicized word is retained and line breaks are 1:1 with Kaizoku-Fansubs' original release. This project also uses a custom Impress BT font that has the Belly sign swaped in for the $ key.

This is only used in instances where Kaizoku-Fansubs used their own version of the sign. Every other worded instance of Belly is still retained.

Each subtitle track essentially had two passes. After the intial OCR, I watched through line by line with Kaizoku-Fansubs' original release to fix any errors and transcribe missing lines.

Then opened that file with A&C's video and again went line by line to fix timing. Time spacing between dialogue, when possible, was retained to match Kaizoku-Fansubs' original release.

This project includes both the rehaul and OG translation for episodes 1 to 6.

Karaoke and attack animations are custom made for this project and most importantly, softsubbed. Every attack animation is specific to the character's Devil's Fruit power, technique or weapon.

Font and color choices by Kaizoku-Fansubs are retained here for Luffy, Zoro & Buggy. For Usopp, we opted for a different font due to the nature of Usopp's attack animation in the original release vs our own.

For Kuro, we opted to use something more stylistic in line with other attack fonts Kaizoku-Fansubs used.

Luffy's translated attack name in episode 3 is retained here for the OG subtitle track and it's untranslated on the rehaul track.

Like the original release, attacks are animated during recaps or flashbacks.

Episode 1 to 6, both rehaul and OG retain their respective translations for the introduction and opening/ending.

Episode 7 onwards, this project uses Dythim's translation for the introduction and Foolio's translation for the opening/ending from the rehaul.

Names are 1:1 with the original release. Besides the changes listed on our change log, no other changes have been made to the translation. See below for link.

Every subtitle track, at the very top, has a comment line that lists the staff credits of Kaizoku-Fansubs & AKUPiXel on a per episode basis.

I watched through each opening and ending sequence to make sure this was correct.

This project includes new chapters I have created for A&C's upcoming release of updated DVD encodes. We are already doing internal QC to improve currently released encodes.
