The unironic definitive opus release for those who don’t really have a use for FLAC (smaller than and practically indistinguishable from all the other FLAC releases despite being tri audio in this case with the two different English dubs).

Video: Kawaiika-Raws (x265)
Audio: 128 kb/s Opus and AAC (Netflix)
Subs: notFoxtrot (Foxtrot dialogue and songs, SCY signs modified for consistency)

Release should be closer to Foxtrot styling-wise (dialogue styling, song styling and no romaji), but with modified signs from SCY since they adjusted them for 1080p. The font for the episode title signs has been changed back to what Foxtrot was using. SCY’s release had the title signs centered, which caused them to slightly shrink the font size in episodes that wouldn’t have normally fit. The workaround here was to match Foxtrot’s placing, which had them aligned depending on if the title was on the left or right.

Subs were taken randomly from all the options here
