Notes:
v2 Notice Same release as v1, except fixed a missing font for the second insert song alongside some adjusted lyrics. If you previously downloaded the v1, here's a v2 patch (just run it with the included patcher and copy-paste the v2 filename over to the output to resume seeding).
An updated release of this early 90s horror OVA, chiefly to supersede another aging one by SSP-Corp. Treatments to reduce or eliminate haloing, chroma noise, dot-crawl, and aliasing were applied as well as adaptive grain-matching of macroblocking in darker regions and reductions in frame blends for cleaner playback. See comparison screenshots above.
R1 Media Blasters DVD subtitles were OCR'd with significant additional QC by me to correct the following:
- Tighten script timings to reduce scene bleeds
- Preserve honorifics and Japanese name order
- Add many missing lines and corrected a few others
- Separate and join certain lines to improve flow
- Typeset signs and songs
Unstyled and original image subtitle options also included for those that prefer them as well as Signs & Songs-only tracks for dub viewers.
