With Clannad finished, my next Blu-Ray project is Air. I will release episodes when I am free. This may be irregular. I should be able to complete this before going on holiday (again) to Japan in early September.
So, here is the promised v2 with [Koi]’s script.
Below is a reminder of the details.
Video: 1280×720 h264. Encoded by [B-G], so all credit for the video goes to them! They did a very good job of fixing up a very poor upscale.
Audio: FLAC. I downloaded the BDISOs and extracted and converted the audio for this release. [B-G] included a DTS track, but I don’t like lossy codecs. Also DTS sucks.
Subtitles: [Koi]’s subs. Transcribed by hand by Jigsy, Soukyuu and Invisiblemoose, thanks guys!
Karaoke: Softsubbed.
Credits: Encoding: [B-G], Karaoke: Jecht, everything else: Holo.
720p (h264): [Doki] Air – 01v2 (1280×720 h264 BD FLAC) [E13ADA79].mkv
480p (XviD): [Doki] Air – 01 (848×480 XviD BD MP3) [C5722E04].avi

YES!! This is easily one of my favourite animes ever, and I’ve been holding off on downloading them for your BDs
thanks for the release!
YAY!! im looking forward to watching this. ive never seen it until doki release the first episode and i loved it. im patiently waiting for these releases from this group. thanks for the releases and the hard work!
Will you also be doing a 480p version? (I can’t bring myself to waste 660MB per ep for 720p)
hmmm…
I will make a 480p XviD as usual.
Thank you for the AVI.
Will you also do the 13th recap episode and Air in Summer ?
The recap is not in the BD but AiS is, so yes to AiS but no to the recap.
Awwwwww I don’t get credit for transcribing the first ep… :c
Irregardless, I’m so excited to see you start up on Air! Thanks so much!
I’ve been so looking forward to this. Thanks Doki!!
Koi…..Koi…..nice translation….and nice work as usual….^^b
OH man I’ve been wanting to see this in HD for so long. Thank you SO much.
THNX! I’ve been waiting too long for this.
Woohoo! Really really excited for this, thanks a bunch.
Getting Air is quite nice. Getting waste-of-space FLAC isn’t.
Just a note, the OP doesn’t have koi’s translation.
Want me to transcribe the koi op or just keep the translation you have?
I know, I mixed up a bit of Koi’s and Triad’s translations because some bits of Koi’s OP sounded weird imo.
I’ll be using my own mixed version.
This episode isn’t strictly Koi anyhow, there are a few slightly altered lines and grammar corrections… one line I changed quite a bit was “Even if I could see the strings, I’d like it better if it were more interesting.” Both Koi and Triad’s line there was awkward.
I know you changed things as well, like my Old Lady to ma’am. (Koi had ‘missus’)…
Also I changed naming convention, which you kept. ^_^
…heh… I remember I transcribed this episode after going more than 3 days without sleep… went so carefully, to make sure everything was right, took me hours…
…can’t really complain about not being mentioned in your acknowledgments because I did so little work compared to Jigsy and Soukyuu… but still…
Lol added, I forgot last night. Yea, edits have been made to the script. I converted from American to British English too. Seeing “Mommy” was just too weird for me lol.
Timing Ep 2 now, expect release soon.
It’s freaking 2010, 2TB HDDs are under 100 bucks, and this is an archive-quality release! FLAC isn’t a waste of space, it’s very efficient! If you want lossy audio that badly, convert and re-mux it yourself, it’s not difficult… I don’t want to hear any more complaints about the size…
yes! yes! i love u guys. nothing beats it than being a melodramatic key fag
What episodes will you release?
1-12 (without 13, which is a recap episode)
1-13 (without the 2 ‘summer special chapter’ episodes)
1-12 + 14&15 (episodes 1-12 and the specials, but without the recap episode)
1-15 (all of them!)
1-12 + 14&15 (episodes 1-12 and the specials, but without the recap episode)
Recap was not included in the BD.
Thanks for doing Air HD. Btw, audio volume is pretty low.
