Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu BD

Took a couple weeks, but here it is! Our final releases of The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi, encoded from BD.

[Mazui]_The_Disappearance_Of_Suzumiya_Haruhi_[1080p][D0A1AC19].mkv

[Mazui]_The_Disappearance_Of_Suzumiya_Haruhi_[720p][866C4FD2].mkv

Edit: I guess this is also a good time to announce for those who aren't already aware that we aren't doing any new shows this season. Index is ongoing though, so it isn't as much of a break as I'd like it to be, but oh well.



The BD has some terribad banding which we tried our best to fix. The left and center channels on the 5.1 sound were flipped too, so that's fixed as well. This release only contains the 5.1 channel in flac. I've tested the 1080 on an Athlon X2 4400 with 1GB of ram, so if you can't handle it, either your computer is from the stone age or your codec setup sucks.

AlexCFuck yeah! Can't wait for the links :D
el pelanathanks!!
AlexcBy the way in the torrents page the 720p is linked to the 1080p text and the 1080p is linked to the 480p text,,, XD
prrgcgthannnkkksss~
AnonymousNice job. Guess this is good for those audiophiles out there who obsess over 5.1, FLAC and all that stuff. Personally I enjoyed your first release, good quality 1080p and weighs less than 4GB. Sound was a bit too high at certain points but it's neglible.
tormaidGreat Job, I've been waiting for this! I hope when the R1 BD comes out (spring?) the studio will fix the banding on the video.
shaninow is the time to catch up the S2 (2009) so that I can watch this movie. Thanks Mazui!

Also, eagerly waiting to see which anime you are going to pick this season, if any. :)
Onyx@shani

Don't bother watching everything from S2 though. If you notice that things seem to repeat a bit, just skip 6 episodes and continue from there! ^^
ZombieYoshiThis is extremely bad news for my A Level revision... But wonderful news otherwise.
anonymousFor fucks sake, FINALLY.

Do you know how much I've waited for this?
wut10 GB? You just beat CGi in filesize. What's so bad with your previous encode? I know it's based on share raw, but is there any difference for casuals?
42AAA! Finally! Thanks a lot!
Cosmic MindGuess I'll have to watch it for a fourth time now. Thanks mazui! :)
DarkhephaistosEnjoy your break ;) You deserve it. All of you.
MouseeMany thanks guys!
I agree with your taking a break this season - there isn't shit out that's worth the hassle of subbing.

It's kind of a shame that Ayako picked up Onii-chan though - franz and I were looking forward to "subbing" it! :P
anonymous> 10GB

Lol
PikkWhat's the difference between this 1080p BD and the other 1080p torrent posted a while back? Is there some comparison?
AlexI really don't know where all these newfags came from... For some reason some people are under the impression that a 1080p rip from a blu-ray disc that is 10GB is over sized.... Now let me tell you something, a blu-ray movie rip that is under 8GB is usually Under sized and will have quality loss. Some can be as big as 17GB depending on everything that is in the movie Grain, battle sequences etc. THIS IS HD FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! If you can't afford the hardrive space go back to your 480p dvd rips.
CrusherXThanks!! :D
wutFor some reason, even a bloatgroup which is CGi managed to release 1080p that is 5.1 GB. Doki's is 8.85 GB, Delicio.us's is 8.57 GB. So why over 10 GB?...
Alex@Pikk
The difference is that the old 1080p was using the shareraw that was floating around and this new 1080p, they encoded from the BD themselves. The main difference is that the shareraw had been rushed so it could be released quickly and was lacking quality in both audio and video. But this new 1080p had a nice slow encoding which preserved the quality of the audio and video.
Oral-BThanks :)
Nigger> everyone implying coalgirls and doki knows wtf they are doing.
kindleechany chance for a patch ? 10gb is kinda big for some.
MouseeThen don't download it and get the 720p or grab some failgroup's release (as mentioned in other posts).
CrusherX@kindleech
you could just download the share raw which is 4gb. just put this in your search
[Mazui] Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu [1080p][3E0D82AE].mkv
and patches are only for fixing sub files, they can't fix video size.
GhostalkerFor the complainers out there, you guys obviously have not heard of THORanime releases yet. Check their website and see how freaking big those filesizes (especially the latest releases). 17GB for a 2-hour movie...So be glad you are having an almost 3-hour movie in 10.2GB :)
HEY LISTENYou guys fix that minor typo in the ED?
Alex@Ghostalker
Just to make it clear Thoranime do not over bloat their releases. Laputa was only 17GB as its a really old movie (1986) Because its old It has a lot of grain. Grain has really shit compression rates so if the group wants to stay true to the source and keep the grain there is no way of getting a small file size without quality loss.
GridAnyone else getting slow download speeds? I'm sitting at about 50kbps here.
MrTRanCeEviLThanks Mazui!!

GeRo~ GeRo~ (^_^)~
Toriit's disappointing that there won't be any new projects for this season but it can't be helped, i'll patiently wait for next season and so on. As for Shoushitsu, can't wait to watch this for the third time lol.
Torii failed my previous comment by forgetting something extremely important; Which is, Thanks Mazui~
HarryThanks as always Mazui! Have a nice break!
Oh lawdsCoalgirls 720p /FLAC: 2.32 GB
Mazui 720p /FLAC: 6.26 GB

Both look pretty much the same.
Shitty encoding much?
daveyHell yeah, bd release. Downloadin'.

I'll see the hell out of this.
DoreikuYayifications!!
aceWow some of these children have entitlement issues.
anonymous@Oh lawds
Do your eyes need checking? Or were you just looking at screenshots and not the video itself? The difference is incredibly apparent while everything is moving.

LAser1080p!! finally i can watch it on my tv!!!
AijouFFFFFUUUUUUUUU- And I had just given up on waiting for this and watched the Share version.
Alex@Grid

Have you limited your upload much? I'm uploading at 100Kb/s and my download is between 300Kb/s to 500Kb/s :D Torrents are about sharing :P
Ghostalker@ Alex

I'm not criticizing the releases of Thora, I'm one of their fans and I'm downloading their releases. And yes you are correct when you said they don't over bloat their releases, because that's precisely the point, this huge filesizes isn't done to troll and piss people, it's their because it has a purpose,..which sadly not every one here understands. For people aiming for the out most quality then download the 1080p 10.2GB release, the 720p is also good, but the original shareraw is good also (although not as good as the bigger release). Anyways, people will not appreciate the bigger releases in older monitors. I suggest watching the release in bigger HDTVs, then feel free to complaint if the quality isn't any different.
MouseeFor those of you who want a script DDL:
http://darkchaos.info/mazui/scripts/

I'll add the other Mazui scripts to it later today (which won't include Index2 for now as I don't watch that shit).

Useful at least until Ulrezaj stops sleeping all day and fixes the site :P
jojoThanks a lot. Been Waiting for this one. :)
adam326That's a shame you won't pick up any series this season.

But then, I hope you'll now have time to do good speedsubbing with Index. And I mean _speed_subbing. You claim to be _speed_subbing group.

And we DO miss did-you-know's!

Does anyone know whether some non-Ayako group is subbing/going to sub Oniichan no Koto?
iDrinkPepsiHey erm, I'm a Mazui fan but I just wanna know whether it's better to have Mazui's, Doki's or Coalgirls' version. O.O

Thanks. >
shani@Onyx: I am already aware of the endless eight thingy. thanks for the reminder though :)

@Ulrezaj: thanks for the edit. which means i will probably look forward to next season. Probably Ao no Exorcist? lol, just saying. Thanks as always for bringing quality anime subs. :)
slugthanks for fixing the sound channel issue, that was really freaking annoying
soraavi please.. arigatou!! ^__^
@soraSora, the avi was out AGES ago.
just a fanwhaaaat, i was hoping very much that you'll do gosick :( at least sub this one, Mazui, please...
juggenSeriously, my logo is sexy as fuck. :P
DTPi was hoping you'll do gosick, but then again my friend teold me that ss going to do it
Breaktoo bad, i hoped you might do yumekui merry as its a J.C. staff production as well and from the little i can tell from the first episode it seems really interesting, plus the character design is done by a touhou fan xDD
and the music is not half bad either so i hoped for quality release for the sound also
romulusMazui always does quality anime. Mazui doesn't pick up anything this season. Even a monkey can put the 2 together ;)
Yes, after even Gosick turned out to be otaku-suited and Madoka was actually good, all hope is lost...
Keep up the good work, I have faith in you.
MaverickHLI am having trouble running the video. For some reason it is crashing Media Player Classic HC with a combination of CoreAVC + Haali Splitter. All of Mazui's videos work except this one :(
fooThere is something strange with this encode (the 1080, at least). Xvid4PSP 5 can't re-encode it... x264 starts and does nothing; encoding never actually starts. Bizarrely, QuickTime 7 had the exact same problem when I tried to copy the video stream passthrough to a new MP4 file (thinking maybe a new container will make Xvid4PSP work). It starts the export process, and makes no progress. It just does nothing. Ditto for mp4box. I've tried using ffmpeg to make a copy of the stream in two different ways (one from the mkv directly, and one from an extracted h264 stream) and both resulted in garbage. Now I'm going to resort to recompressing the 1080p stream... if that's possible :P
Alex@MaverickHL
I have the exact same configuration as you (software wise), and the video plays fine for me. Have you tried force rechecking the video in your torrent program? Maybe some part got corrupt.
ArccI don't think I'm watching any new anime this season anyway. All of it right now looks pretty bad IMHO. Thank god for SyFy, eh?
Geocide@Break
And don't forget the music is by parts of ISOSYS. I LOL'D HARD when I noticed the ending song was sung by a member and the music was done by ARM. Just fucking epic.
Geocide*IOSYS God I can't spell tonight. =x
MaverickHL@Alex

Yeah I made sure, I kept the seed to make sure it is not corrupt. By my observations, it would seem I needed to enable the ffdshow audio component which I left block (don't usually use it since most shows render without it)to get it to work, not sure what is it about the audio, but it works with these settings.
ar@MaverickHL

The only reason I can think of might be this:

Most people just use eac3to to convert to flac (which used flac -6 I think). I use straight flac cli encoder with -8 option which results in the best compression (and slowest to encode). MPC-HC decoder might have some issues decoding it for some god unknown reason, but nothing else does so it sounds like a bug in its internal flac decoder.
MaverickHL@ar

Looks like the case, I redid my settings and updated a few of my codecs. The internal flac seems a little meh so I tweaked a few more things. Now works fine. I think this maybe the first Mazui video I downloaded that uses FLAC. Now a days I would have thought AAC would me more commonly used.
MJP@iDrinkPeps

Probably not Coalgirls' version.
Mousee@MaverickHL: AAC is not a loseless codec, thus FLAC is better suited for a "high quality" 1080p release. There's plenty of information to be had on the subject via Google too.
Bleeding HeartAlex posted:
"Torrents are about sharing :P"
No shit. I "shared" the camrip to a nearly 5:1 ratio, and the 400p to at least 2:1. I think it's time for everyone else to "share" the 720p and open their upstream to more than 5 KB/sec. Mine is set to "unlimited".
Alex@ Bleeding Heart
So what? When I downloaded the gundam00 movie I seeded back twice what I downloaded, that doesn't mean I will get a faster download speed if I leech another torrent... The fact about torrents is If you want to download at a fast speed don't limit your upload to a really slow speed.
tormaidYeah, depending on your connection limiting your up SOME will yield better down speeds (I limit my up to 200kbps). Once you are done seed to your heart's desire.
AkizunTake your well deserved rest; I long for your return next season! (Together with better anime than this fall XD).
nullI think this is one of the best full-length anime movie ever done. The soundtrack really makes it special. I actually heard the soundtrack for the movie first (bought it shortly after that) and eventually found some time to watch the two seasons so I could finally watch the movie. I still listen to the OST from time to time, and it's even more powerful when having the scenary in mind.

No problem with playback at all: On linux here, system is powered by an Core i5-M450. Media player is mplayer with ffmpeg-mt, I could leave the CPU's powersave mode on through the entire movie. Audio quality was superbe too (headphone user, used the HRTF plugin to downmix the multi-channel source to a headphone-compatible stereo signal).

So a big thanks for this awesome release goes to Mazui! ;)
SoulWell, 1080p is not working as I'd like it to work, so I guess my PC is from the stone age. Even though I bought most of it just recently, and my software is set up to work as efficiently as it can (even at the cost of dropping some quality).

The downside of living in a third world country, computer parts are always expensive. Guess I'll have to download 720p.
TomoyaX@Soul: Use CoreAVC.
sincerecan someone upload this to megaupload?
AssirraI am a complete noob in this kinda stuff but can anyone explain what this "banding" is plz?
Does it effect it the quality for some reason or what does it do?
PapaGeorgioThanks again, Mazui.

I remember my excitement while watching the camrip. I cannot wait to see this film in BD quality. Thank you for your efforts in the name of the Goddess as well as all your other projects. I hope that you all are able to get some rest this spring...Cheerio!
null@Assirra: Too lazy to google?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_banding
42-Speaking about 720p, is it just me or some words missing in subltitles for ternimal messages (starting about 1:35:42)? For example I got "You have found the answ" and "To activate it, press Enter, otherwise, press a". Also I think that "Yuki" at 02:28:33 should be translated or at least there should be a note that yuki means snow as it was done in camrip subtitles.
Anyway great work and thanks a lot for your hard work.
HumanGood job Mazui!

If possible, could you guys release comparison shots vs Doki and CG? I'm curious if there are any noticeable differences in your version (mainly banding).
I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
slasha@Human: http://forums.bakabt.com/index.php?topic=28234.0
anonymousWhy would anyone compare a movie by using pictures? Of course you'll see differences if you check them frame by frame, but you're watching a movie and not some sort of picture drama.
If you want to compare the movies you have to see them in motion.
DoreikuI downloaded the 720p version.

There's an error right at the start.
00:04:14 Mikuru "Kyon-kun, I'll come after I'm done a couple tasks."

And I too am getting incomplete subtitles for the terminal messages (starting from 01:35:40). ;_;
DoreikuDammit, I can't even load up the camrip to check what it says because I deleted it the moment I got the 720p BDrip. ; _ ;
cerkisThanks for the release and great work. Just one thing though, why was the script changed in the camrip at 01:28:38 (...ves you) to "I envy you" (01:28:19)in the BD release?
GridBloody hell, this has to be the slowest torrent I've ever seen. I'm lucky if I break 30kbps. I know my internet is fine since I just watched another torrent zip by at 600kbps...

I want my Haruhi ;_;
Human@slasha - Thanks a bunch

@anonymous - I want to compare the colors/filtering in the images. I'm not really worried that it's not quality when in motion. 10gb is more than enough to ease my mind in regards to that.
Quanta,If you aren't going to sub any new shows this season, could you sub the first 5 eps of Index II at the least.. my collection NEEDS IT!!!
njamunkymazui, i am disappoint...

i would have looked forward to more shows this season. i dont know anything new coming out i wanna check out, but i always betted on mazui for the last 2 years. shame.

well haruhi was a good note to end on, so ill stop complaining. thanks again mazui!
go3001Wa... I didn't expect the movie would be this good~
GridYou've got to be kidding me... I finally finish downloading it and it won't play. Kyon finishes his little speech about the world being cold and then it closes on me... What do I do now.
GridDisregard the above. A recheck in µTorrent showed I hadn't actually downloaded all of it. It lied to me.
GhostWriterDownloaded 1080p version to enjoy the movie of the year in HighDefinition. Think I'll watch it again tomorrow. Great release as always, thanks a bunch, guys, keep it up!
Kid DYou guys, if you're not doing any shows this season, why don't you help out the folks at ANBU with Sunred S2? Would like to see it finished and you dudes look pretty cool.

kicsOT: can anyone give me angel beats scipts? the ass files? thanks
AnonymousJust watched the 1080p version, was worth every byte of it, thank you. Had no problem with the download, playback or subtitles at all; don't mind the rest, haters gonna hate.
AnonymousFor the the 720p audio is really soft, can anyone help me with this? even maxing computer volume leaves the audio at slightly above whisper level.
anon@Anonymous update your codecs. Or play it on diff media player...
Grid@Anon with audio problems:

I had the same thing. For some reason it was trying to play the full 5.1 surround through my two speakers and I was only getting the back channels. Try a different media player.
nx6@Grid:

Why not just turn on your Mixer filter in ffdshow and set it for the correct number of speakers you have so it can downmix the audio properly.
Grid@nx6:

This was in MPlayer OSX Extended. Couldn't find an option to do that. It wasn't a big bother though since I had planned on moving it to my PC to play it on my tv anyway. CCCP did the job correctly.
Mousee@kics & anyone else looking for Mazui's scripts:

http://darkchaos.info/mazui/scripts/

I've updated it with everything save for what's listed in the "todo" list at the top. Had a small issue with my media server so there was a delay in actually getting everything up there heh.

There's a fonts directory as well; however, at the moment it only contains a single "pack" of all of the fonts used by the scripts I have uploaded atm. Later I'll get around to making font packs for individual releases (ie. Angel Beats will have its own pack, etc). Later likely being early next month when I get the PSU back for my server.
TomThanks heaps guys, love your work.
Keep it up!
anonymoushow long does the download really take for most of you guys?? (answer plz)
thewizardninjaTook me a few days, it was really slow for some reason. Usually something of that size would only take me 5 hours or so.

anonymousThe link for the script doesn't seem to work? I already had the DVD (which of course is all-Japanese) but I need a sub since I'm not that fluent in Japanese.
somebody@anonymous

It took me about 3 days to torrent thx to PeerBlock (I didn't disable it and it kept rejecting connection requests).
anonymousI would be very careful about downloading this. There is a law firm based in Chicago named McCullough, Campbell & Lane LLP stalking the torrent, recording everyone's IP.

@peterMazui's version by far.
BraintreeSo what's the best way to go about putting this on a DVD?
anonymous@Peter
As he said it's Doki's video w/ Mazui's subs.
Satsu@Braintree
Did you mean normal DVD or AVCHD DVD?
Peterso wouldnt it be better to download doki's version since its a smaller file? or is mazui's subs better than doki's subs?
syedthanx for the release. look foward for the next 1
HellzThx for the release.But I'm having some problems with the subs.They just don't show,you start the video and it goes al right,nice resolution and all,but no subs...(already tried using other media players)

Mazui subs > other subs.
If your HDD isn't big enough to hold at least 50 of this, you're a fucking faggot.
