One(?) of the chroma channel data has incorrect vertical offset. I'm
not consistent about subtracting points for this, but that doesn't
mean the problem isn't there.
Comments:
Back in the days of VHS fansubs, fans had to work hard at it to obtain
anime. They had to form relationships, and many actually worked on
various stages of fansubbing. The few who had the money were willing
to let people use their LD as master for the fansub because they were
aware that the people in the circle understood and appreciated the art
of animation.
Nowadays, just about any riffraff can get anime. The ratio of real
"otaku" to the rest, who still call themselves "otaku" without any
clue as to what it is they're into, has decreased drastically. When
these dilutors watch anime like AIR, they'd have no clue as to why it
is such a special series. Real "otaku" would know, and it doesn't
even matter if s/he likes the series. The effort can be seen
regardless of the story.
