To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 16
Encoder came back from his journey of enlightenment later than expected, so for now we're using a generic raw. v2 to follow with real raw when it's done.
update: Apparently there was some voodoo magic involved in getting the v2 out while I was gone, but anyway, here it is.
v2 x264 and XviD.
We made a bunch of optimizations to the op/ed styling, and of course there's no vfr in this version, so performance on borderline computers should improve a lot.
LAST UPDATE: In what I shall henceforth dub "the great font debacle of '10", a certain someone forgot to account for the op/ed style changes and thus render some v2 parts fontless. Since I am loathe to make a v3, we're just releasing this patch to fix it.
Get it here.

Thanks Mazui!
Excellent release as always Mazui, and this anime is getting better every episode!
You guys should get tons of medals for theese releases; if that is even enough to express our gratitude.
There. Are. No. Rural. Towns.
Academy city in the middle of Tokyo, guys.
But yes, dynamite is more easily obtainable than other conventional explosives.
1 - It lags. A lot. Normally I'd just toggle the subs off or skip it completely, but the episode is still going when the song starts.
2 - The kana doesn't show up. If I demux the script and change the font just for those lines, it appears. I'm guessing the font used for it wasn't attached? Because the kana in the OP shows up fine.
Oddly enough, the OP doesn't lag for me this episode like it did with episode 15. Maybe the ED's lagging because it's trying to render text with a font that doesn't exist? I dunno.
Besides that, good job, guys. I look forward to v2 with the scrolling text tamed.
Also, there's a line mix-up at 10:19 when he's making the call. He says like one or two words, and two sentences come up at the same time. "Now isn't the time to be esper hunting! What did you say?" -- he only says the last line.
Also, xvid lol.
(And like I said, the episode works fine. 8600GT 256MB, AMD Athlon X2 4400+ 2.3GHz, 4GB RAM.)
because if it's in the very near future then I'll wait.
Running Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP-project.net) with Media Player CLassic, in the installer. It's the best.
mkv is good, but I prefer Xvid...'cuz I don't need to re-encode it(I'm pretty lazy at encoding)
Btw why v2??? I am not having any problems with Audio/Video and the subs are running fine o.O
if u didn't use vlc u only have to put output to vmr9 rederless and internel filter h.264/avc (dxva)on and ur grafikkart do all the work instant off ur cpu (with nvidia this works alot better und with intel u may have to change ur reg abit with ati is "luck")
i can play it with a intel atom n330 and onboard ion grafik is nothing compart to a good pc to day :-)

give it a try
I am running a pentium 4 2.8gHz, 2GB RAM shit computer and I can watch the OP and ED without problem. It's your settings. The only change I did was to disable animation under the subtitles>texture menu.
there are no animation at my version and i'm very sure and i test it with an other softsubt intro , that my settings are correct
if they should be animated plz let me know
Mazui, Thank you for the sub. It is pleasent to see a group that puts up with such ignorance on the part of it's clients. I look forward to many more issues of your good work. Make mine Mii-sempi!
btw, what is (or was?) herpes.deepbone.net? (cf FAQ http://mazuisubs.com/?faq)
With that said,
Thank you for your exemplary performance as always, Mazui.
I like my Core-avc and all codecs, and they seem to play everything..... Smaller sized container, less cpu intensive, great for nice easy watchable avi back-up. I like MKV, but I still prefer XVID, but if I intend to edit, I'll get mkv. However, encodes don't really matter to me, the mkv files work fine with no lag. If anyone is having problems, just use mkvtoolnix and extract and fix the subbtiltes, or even reencode the file. Or please just wait for the xvid release, that's what I am doing.
PS. Cant wait! Oh and whatever happened to .ogm and .ogg files and other such file types? Man I got so many old animes in storage....
Also... Comp>Netbook. Overcompensation FTW! xD
.rv please!
Sorry for the delay~
Go to http://herpes.deepbone.net/torrent/ to get the latest files, the post will be updated later.
Just kiddin' xD
Or you could just delete some if it 'cause I doubt you're ever going to watch most of that again.
Maybe not but I'm sure he has friends or family who haven't. I'm the same in that respect, I've kept all the anime I've ever downloaded for the sole purpose of spreading it amongst the people that I know. You'd be surprised how many people have never seen Gurren Lagann ^^
I personally don't mind the OP/ED styling techniques either way. However, the new OP (but not ED) font size is about twice as big as it used to be when displayed in my environment, and covers up a significant portion of the screen. It will be great if smaller size characters can be used in subsequent releases, so that there won't be such a large differential between fonts used in OP and fonts used in the rest of the episode.
Thanks in advance :)
You should totaly watch Gurren Lagann its hella good too.
But anyway, I really like the styling for the OP and ED. They look really nice.

Anyways for those who might find it useful the CRC for the patched Xvid should read: [B19A4C3D]
(apart from konori's xray vision)
the readme in the torrent says only v2.
I'm personally fine with waiting... It's not like we're going to get some epic ToumaBiri action any time soon, anyway...
Though I wouldn't mind some SatenxUiharu... *FLIP*
