Kurokami dual audio

[mikeggsm]

**running for cover from sub purists attacks** 

It has aired in English. An HDTV release with the English dub track would be nice.

[Southrop]

I'd rather wait for a D-A DVD/BD rip.

[TheProfileth]

Blurays are actually out too 

[Southrop]

Shush.

[mikeggsm]

Only the first 4 episodes are out on DVD and Blu-ray.

Since the quality of the HDTV release by Nuke-BandaiaTV http://bakabt.me/150021-kurokami-the-animation-nuke-bandaiatv-h264-720p.html is really great, I suppose a high quality release with the English dub track would be possible. But I don't think any group has released that :'(

According to the comments on that torrent, people seem to love the series!

[TheProfileth]

Well, the R2 blurays are out and the R1 dvds are out so you could just use the audio from that  
I actually plan on doing Kurokami eventually, it is 1 of the 3 or 4 shows I want to encode the blurays for.

TheProfileth:

That's GREAT, I would love that...

Except that, according to amazon, DVD volume 2 will be released on June 8, 2010. So I am not sure how you'd get the R1 DVDs for the English audio... but I hope I am somehow mistaken and that you post your release quickly: I'd be the first to download it!

That's not really true, there are 6 episodes out on DVD. Dunno about BD.

Also, you don't need to have the DVDs for the English audio, but perhaps only the subtitles, if you wish to have R1 subtitles. The English audio track can be found easily in #yousei-raws  their channel for example, which appears to be flac.

AtsuiAnime released 12 episodes already of the blurays. It's not dual audio though and used Nuke's subs.

Wasn't Kurokami dub only?

I know. I meant R1 though.

Thanks for that! anidb didn't list yousei-raws as a release so I had no idea (I'm an IRC noob).

They have
[Yousei-raws] Kurokami The Animation 01 (English audio) [BDrip FLAC 2.0ch 16bits 48khz].flac
and
[Yousei-raws] Kurokami The Animation 01 [BDrip 1280x720 x264 Vorbis].mkv

So the Japanese BD also has the English dub track (!), which is confirmed by http://www.asianblurayguide.com/detail/832/kurokami_black_god_the_animation_vol_2_anime_japan/

In that case a dual-audio BD rip on bakabt, based on the 720p or 1080p files from yousei-raws, would be really great...

[TheProfileth]

Or if you are able to, using the actual BD would give much better results, but hey unless you can find that then raws will just have to do.

Try share or perfect dark. :3

Just a reminder, no links to Share or PD.

Strangely, the R1 BDs only have the dub...

[mikeggsm]

It's to prevent Japanese consumers from reverse-importing the US bluray release, which is almost 4 times less expensive than the Japanese bluray.

But the US DVD release does have the Japanese audio and is released at the same time. That's because Japanese consumers can't reverse-import the US DVD release since US and Japan DVD regions are different (whereas US and Japan bluray regions are the same).

While the conspiracy theory  does sound atleast plausible, from what I read it had to do with them not being able to license the Japanese audio, but then again I guess that could tie into what you said?

[OZC]

It's no conspiracy theory, that's exactly why Bandai Visual wouldn't license the Japanese audio for the BD. Otherwise, they shouldn't have been able to get it for the DVD. Code Geass, Gundam 00, and a number of other shows all suffer from the same problem because Bandai Visual is so worried about it. Meanwhile, Funimation doesn't have that problem with their BD releases because reverse importation is not as prominent as Bandai Visual thinks, and luckily, the companies Funi licenses from don't feel it's a big concern either. It all has to do with the idea that it COULD be imported back to Japan though, just as mikeggsm said. It's a pretty stupid decision too, since region-free DVD players are prominent now and so the DVDs could easily suffer from the same thing.

Makes sense I guess thanks for explaining.
lol for some reason that made me think of a dvd being released with no audio at all due to the threat of reverse importation
