[E-D] To Love-Ru

I'm requesting "To Love-Ru" from Exiled-Destiny. Does anyone have it?

Thank you for your help.

This could probably replace the Polished/Chihiro DVD release.

I'm guessing Fafner00 will have the files...

[Southrop]

Comparison with the Polished version please? I'd rather not replace something based on reputation alone

[Nazo]

Well, it is my understanding that Chihiro's subs are less than stellar for To Love Ru. In fact, Kristen wanted to go back and fix them until it got licensed. So...

I said "probably", I was assuming some video comparisons would be done first... ;-)

Subtitles don't matter that much in this case, imo, since we already have Chihiro subs for the H264 and XviD torrents.

Lol, macros74, yes i have E-D files (and some simple background description (have a lot time and nothing to do )), but about comparison   It's hard in some way,
polished-used-raws are R2, but made really shitty, they have many jpeg artefacts, but more detailed, E-D have less artefacts, but worse detailed in some scenes (for me E-D's just more watch-able, since i still waiting Yabai (lol i think it's forever)).
Also E-D'version have R1 official subs, i have no idea what here can be compared  
And replace? I think it's nothing to replace here   chihiro-polished = fansub, E-D = R1'rip, but i don't know since Clannad by coalgirs was rejected.

Well, I was initially thinking of "Dual-audio release always replaces single-audio release of comparable quality."
But seeing your reasoning I guess they would co-exist, counting the Polished release as a fansub, and since they have a different video source.

Though we already have one Group B fansub release; not that exceptions aren't made all the time of course, as long as the releases in question have something extra to offer.

And I meant comparison screens with regard to the video quality, subs is another matter.

I believe E-D's are single audio actually

[macros74]

Ah, yes...
Beware of general assumptions...

The way I've always interpreted that rule is that "Dual-audio releases replace single audio of comparable video and subtitle quality." So if E-D does a dual-audio v2 of Clannad now that it's getting dubbed, that release would replace the current sub-only rip. Whereas fansubs or KAA-type DVD-rips releases that modify R1 subs can stay.

If a release is to be removed to reduce clutter, how about the HDTV/h264 release? I don't know if it's True HD or just a passable upscale, but I'd bet that many replaced it with the DVD release to get uncensored video. Imo the XviD/DTV version can stay, at least under the current rules.

And the reason I dropped them when I heard it got licensed was because I knew that there'd be a much better subbed version in the future to replace ours, namely something like this.

[Blubbi]

Fafner00, are you willing to offer this? Of course, if you got time to spare.

Or maybe there's someone out there who can offer this. Any help would be gladly appreciated 

[Southrop]

Comparison first, offer later

[Blubbi]

ah, i've forgotten about that. of course, comparison comes first.

[macros74]

Fine. Perhaps this will kickstart things...

Maybe we can throw Yabai into the comparison too? I've been following Yabai myself, but their release speed is pretty yabai, if you get what I mean

edit:
Ew at E-D's styling. Was that done in VLC by any chance?

Oh, sorry, forgot to mention: .srt subs in VLC. Also has VobSubs.

I have all the Yabai releases, will see...

Edit:

Polished 1  |  E-D 1  |  Yabai 1
Polished 2  |  E-D 2  |  Yabai 2
Polished 3  |  E-D 3  |  Yabai 3
Polished 4  |  E-D 4  |  Yabai 4

Thx for the Screenshots macross74.

Personally, I like E-D picture quality more compared to the others.

In Yabai's version, there are some weird vertical lines (screenshot 2) and the polished version looks somewhat grainy.

In terms of translation, I would say they're nearly similar.
