Source taken from https://nyaa.si/view/1263126 for the movie. Credit to ViperYuko, and 4/a/ subs. I decided on using Japanese names without using honorifics, along with Crunchyroll’s translations of the Art Names for coolness factor. The ASS file is attached, fonts as well, since I chose some that aren’t so common. The movie’s subtitles are based on 4/a/ subs. Audio trans-coded to Opus with 128kb/s bitrate, transparent. The first audio track is 5.1, the second audio track is 2.0 and is marked as the default track. The third audio tracks contains audio commentary. Images, and menus/extra videos are included. Enjoy the puppets~ New Batch is here: <https://nyaa.si/view/1383138> Just keeping these outdated ones up for posterity

Great release! However, is there any chance you'll do some kind of v2 of your full Thunderbolt Fantasy set in the future, muxing in the fonts, and more importantly using x265/HEVC instead of Hi10P? It's a shame to only be able to play on my most powerful PC, as none of it can be hardware-decoded, and it should give better compression regardless.
It seems I had not been paying attention, as you had already done a re-release of S1, S2 and the other film into HEVC. Also, this file is plain (hardware-decode-able) AVC. So thanks a lot for that, and apologies for my incorrect accusations and any confusion they may have caused!!! I actually do have a suggestion - it seems you used opus 128 for both the stereo and the surround tracks. This means that the surround track is *very obviously* not transparent, as the channels have to fight over the same now-starved bitrate. It would be a very good idea to use a bitrate proportional to the number of channel pairs - a common suggestion is to use something like opus-192 for stereo and opus-384 for 5.1 surround. If I have time this weekend, I will share my own re-encoded audio tracks to correspond with your Thunderbolt Fantasy releases. Source: https://kokomins.wordpress.com/2019/10/10/anime-encoding-guide-for-x265-and-why-to-never-use-flac/#recommended-settings I see that there don't seem to yet be any good HEVC sources for this movie, so I will simply continue to wait until such a time as this becomes available. Further edit: It appears that the opus encoding was done upstream https://nyaa.si/view/1207281 so I will direct my comments and suggestions there.
