I'd like Mauhou Yuugi on bakabt. It's pretty hard to find, I've tried but seems like all torrents are dead.
So if anyone have the possibility to upload this I'll pee my pants

I have this, but it's from an unknown group and missing the secondary subtitle track. If anyone can come up with the Ripping-Gods release, that might be a better choice.

I have that one also, that is, the AJAS release? Image quality looks great though, IIRC.
I would've expected you to have uploaded it by now, then again, missing the secondary track...

That's the one I have too (dvdrip, dual audio(both Magical Play 2D and 3D), subtrack srt only), as well as the cover art, clean ED/OP and character bio that apparently came with the release back when I got it...

Even though it's not mentioned on AniDB? I still suspect it's the release most people would have, probably the one Zalis has too as it lacks the secondary track...
They also released Magical Play 3D, the OVA, under the name NOTAJAS.

Yeah, got it all in one big Demonoid torrent titled Magical Play.

Since two power uploaders have this it should be a doozy...

If it helps, I can provide a secondary subtitle track from DVD.

So does this mean that it'll soon be up here?

I could provide a comparison if so wished; I've got 75% of the RG 2D release (the other 25% and RG 3D is still Muling...)

[Essedus]

I vote for the Ajas version, but it's a PAIN to find.

I'll try to place some comparisons with the RG release tomorrow, just so to have some facts on hands...  

Edit: here we are...

Let's start with a few shots from both episodes 1...

AJAS | RG

AJAS | RG

Regarding the signs: I extracted the ones from the first RG episode, and aside from the OP/ED we're talking about 11 "sign instances".

[Essedus]

Does this mean that the AJAS version has no sign translations, or just no sign only track for the dub?

No sign only track for the English dub, Japanese audio track has them of course. Aside from the OP/ED they're mostly chapter titles (these 4 eps consist of several merged mini eps) and some one word signs/exclamations.

Yeah, I couldn't remember just how text-intensive this show is. Maybe because I only saw one episode awhile back and haven't felt motivated to watch any more yet. If we go with Ajas, the secondary tracks could be included as attachments easily enough.

I'm not sure if my eyes are deceiving me or not, but I thought I detected some faint aliasing in AJAS's screens (on the blue-haired chick's nose in the first screen, for instance).
