Basically everything is included, the 1st season, 2gakki/Nigakki, OADs and everything extra that comes with the DVDs such as the openings and endings without the credits, the TV Commercials, the DVD Advertisements, the VAs messing around and showing various KoJikan goods and merch, even a live performance of some songs, all included and a few more. There is also the Audio CDs which I got long ago out in the wild, but I coudn't find it again searching for it now, so I can't give a direct link to their source because it's possibly lost. I took this chance to rearrange the files my way, and also to fix an error where the TV Opening and Ending contents were misplaced on the opposite folder. Everything from the source is still there, I just rearranged everything and saved the original things into an Extra folder. **For the Audio CD rips, all credits goes to AniBoters, and for all the subtitles, the credits goes to Doutei.** Note that, although the resolution of the video is 720x480, which is a weird square 3:2'ish aspect ratio, the display aspect ratio is 16:9, from the source. So the video resolution is 720x480, but thanks to the 16:9 aspect ratio, it is stretched to something like 853x480. Again, the source is already like this, and no upscaling or something was done. This is handled by the display-width and display-height tags that matroska has, so it is completely lossless and non destructive. This anime was quite annoying to deal with, I already tried encoding it in the past and had problems, but even knowing what to expect it was still annoying. I almost gave up at some point but managed to power through. Every tool I tried analyzing it with gave me different results, if I tried this, that would get messed up, if i tried that, this would get messed up, it was sad. But after days and nights of testing, trying and retrying I think I got to a nice result. As usual I didn't applied unnecessary post processing, instead trying to stay closer to the original material, just doing necessary things. A lot of this release was experimental, kind of trial and error, so it took longer than it should had. Also this time I didn't used NEAV1E, instead I went with av1an, and big thanks to the people on av1an Discord server for helping me and dealing with my excessive writing. I wanted to try av1an for a while already and after I've got better results with it, I decided this is what I will be using from now own. All the operations on the video files were made while in ffv1 format, so totally lossless. Update on 17/NOV/2021: I have some releases planned, and I got the material, but things will take a bit to happen again. While doing test encodes for a certain source using grain synth, I almost popped my motherboard's VRMs. And I've got a harddrive failure, so I won't be seeding as actively as before, but will still do from time to time to not stress it, since I'm still using this possibly defective disk.
