Notes on subtitles:

Modifications done to the English [Kametsu] (originally based on Waku) subtitles:

Edited the script. The ASS file contains a little bit more information on some of the edits. This movie would really benefit from a proper TLC.


All subtitles have been checked, and, if necessary, timed to make sure at least the dialogue is in sync with the audio. For languages other than English, I don’t guarantee frame-perfect sign sync, though.
All ASS subtitles have been resampled, if necessary.
All of the fonts (except those for English subtitles) are subset in order to save space, meaning they contain only the glyphs that are used.

Playback
It is highly recommended to watch any AV1 release with an up-to-date media player. I personally recommend the mpv media player, but MPC-HC or VLC also support AV1 playback. Note that some newer versions of VLC have issues with Opus surround sound playback. If you must use it, v3.0.20 apparently doesn’t have this problem.
