Notes:

Broadcast Audio continues to use Team Mirolo’s BA sync, including all fixes made since release.
The Original FUNi Dub reflects how the series was originally shown on TV and released on DVD. This audio was cleaned, balanced, and normalized by Krycek7o2. Insert songs originally omitted from the dub were mixed by iKaos and re-inserted into the track. Earlier HiFi VHS audio was omitted for this release due to quality issues - if you still want that audio you can find it in this torrent.
The FUNi “Remastered” Dub is the slightly updated version that appeared on the “blue bricks” and has been manually synced by ergiman. Insert songs were also re-inserted into the track. Note that in some cases extra narration or voiceovers were reduced during insert songs. Untouched versions are available in the Extras folder.
The BLT Dub is available for the first 13 episodes. Because it’s an edited dub it used the FUNi dub to fill the gaps. Extended versions of the OP and ED were created by iKaos.
The Harmony Gold track is available for the first 5 episodes. It was sourced from v2 of Tom_Servo’s Harmony Gold restoration. It also uses the FUNi dub to fill the gaps.
Several episodes contain a new Music and Effects Track, see the changelog for specifics.

OP credits timed and stylized by dubudavid. ED lyrics timed and styled by Johnster. ED credits timed and styled by Ploffy. All titles re-styled by Mario2109. Names and romanization contributions from AnimeAjay, dubudavid, Ploffy, WPR, TheMrDoggo, Herms, and SaiyaJedi. Titles and credits re-colored by butler. Additional subtitle support provided by HRSM, and KK.
Notes:

Like with our Z release, extensive work was done on the stylized subtitles, including:


fully retimed all lines, fixed flashing/bleeding/high-CPS lines, and timed overlapping lines independently
Translated over 300 missing lines + some signs, fixed TL errors, and edited high-CPS lines
Revised the dragons’ archaic dialogue
Typeset the new signs and improved some existing signs
Fixed errors with italics, punctuation, TL consistency, and other things
Removed clunky honorifics (wife-san, pet-chan)
Removed unnecessary ellipses from split lines
Adjusted line breaks
Standardized stutters (Wh-What), interrobangs (?!), and exclamation marks (!)


If you don’t care for stylized subs, then we have included a basic subs track as well. All of the above updates were ported over to these subs.
All Next Episode Previews were re-translated from scratch by dubudavid. Previous NEPs were based on translations from Spanish dubs.
The signs/songs track is meant for use with the OG English dub and contains NEP translations.
Dubtitles are designed to go with the OG English dub, although they should mostly work for both FUNi dubs. The dubtitles were also extensively overhauled with many of the same timing and style updates done for the stylized subs.
Japanese subs have been included as synced by IzzyFishii, Tokumei, and butler.
ED credits are included with each episode individually timed and styled by Ploffy.
