Minor update for FMA:B:R :
All 8 editorials and all 16 episodes have been finished and are now watchable. Check out my youtube channel (under the same username) for more info.While there is still some potential improvement to be had (watch the epilogue editorial for more info), the current build is plenty watchable. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for doing this, I’ve watched the first couple of episodes and it’s really well done. Is it worth maybe considering looking at fansubs which were done and using their subs as a base for the 2003 version? Or is there some kind of software which can extract subtitle files from BD releases and convert them into a .srt? I could look into that for you if it could be helpful. Would .srt be the best format for this?
Glad you enjoyed it! I haven’t thought of contacting fansub authors, but that could be a worthy consideration (If you any contacts for them let me know). .srt files would be ideal, but the official blu-ray rips were encrypted, making them unusable with video-editing software. I also considered using Netflix subtitles obtained through an exploit in OBS Capture where I can record the subtitles but not the video. My only qualm with that is some weird quirks in the translation (like Father Cornello being named Cornello-sama, even though Father refers to his church title, not his familial position). Besides that, it could work. There’s also a lot of work to do with Lior in particular, more info is available in the epilogue episode on my channel.
BTW do you have any contact info for the old users on this thread? I can’t find much on them but I have to guess they’d still be interested in seeing this old idea fulfilled.
