Retiming of the english audio done using cooledit pro as the rest of the renewal project.
Manual timing also done on the R1 subtitles to fit the frames.

Subtitles used was from the R1 DVD as well as the SSA Script Version 1.0 by Melbourne Anime Society,
Based on a script by Studio 00' - Dont really know who those people are, but they deserve the credits.

Since both the subs from the R1 DVD as well as the fansub script was incomplete compared to the renewal source,
there was a lot of retiming as well as insertion of new lines needed.

VERY timeconsuming and frustrating, as this film is a total cutscene & kanji hell at times. (Not to mention completely useless)
Thus editing & retiming the audio & subtracks to THE INFERNAL CUTSCENES THAT LAST 1 FRAME OR SO was... not fun.
Lets just say this film and subediting both are the pinnacles of evil. Gr.

Poor source. Compared to End of Eva it was night & day. Pixie, warpsharp, lanczosresize & spatial smoothing was used.
The "odd" resolution is a result of this source being in evil letterbox format, so cropping galore.

This source suffers at some places a little bit from having to resize,
but generally the overall quality improved so it was to prefer anyway.
Trimming was used on dark scenes to make them at least watchable, but not oversmoothed.
EKG used on some places that almost looked like .rm if left untouched.

Thanks to Tachikoma for the German subs!

Enjoy!
