When Yuki smiled, I almost had an heart attack. It was close.

10 months after initially announcing my plans to release this movie, I finally present it to you. I believe this is the only English release (apart from Mazui’s) that does not borrow Mazui’s translation.

Special thanks go to:

• Arr-nii – Translating 2,000+ lines is no easy feat and he managed to do this in under a week! Many thanks.
• Exhilem – Checking the translation.
• masat – Timed over 2,000 lines!
• anon1 – For editing/QCing the entire movie.
• sm2345 – For QCing the movie.
• Pahndamonium – For K-timing the songs.
• And of course you – For your patience.

Comparisons

Ideally I would like to make comparisons with Mazui’s final encode, but unfortunately they have not released, and I do not feel it is fair to compare with that shitty raw their LQ release uses.
Therefore I will compare with Coalgirls and Delicio.us. Coalgirls release I have to download ovenight, but I will post up a comparison with Delicio.us’s encode. There are 4 shots.
