Human beings are persecuted, to the very point of extinction. One day, a golem and a lone human girl meet. This is a record of the pair; one a member of a ruined race, the other a watchman of the forest. It tells of their travels together, and of the bond between father and daughter. ## Contents | | Season 1 | | :-- | :-- | | **Video** | 1080p AV1 10-bit | | **Audio** #1 | **Japanese** Opus 2.0 128 kbps | | **Audio** #2 | **English** Opus 2.0 128 kbps | || | **Subtitles** | | || | **English** | ```ASS``` **Full** [[Obelix-0x539]](https://nyaa.si/view/1991043) | | | ```ASS``` **Signs & Songs** [[Obelix-0x539]](https://nyaa.si/view/1991043) | | **Arabic** | ```ASS``` [[Asahi]](https://subdl.com/s/info/sWYjG1v3ij/somali-and-the-forest-spirit) | | **Chinese** (Simplified & Traditional) | ```ASS``` [[Nekomoe kissaten]](https://nyaa.si/view/1452902) | | **French** | ```ASS``` [[Delivroozzi]](https://nyaa.si/view/1301222) | | **German** | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/view/1232430) | | **Italian** | ```ASS``` [[Hanasaku]](https://nyaa.si/view/1259523) | | **Japanese** _(SDH)_ | ```SRT``` [[?]](https://jimaku.cc/entry/1920) | | **Persian** | ```ASS``` [[Temari]](https://subdl.com/s/info/LVw2XZkiDs/somali-and-the-forest-spirit) | | **Polish** | ```ASS``` [[Oozora]](https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/pimdbid-11428586/season-1/sublanguageid-pol) | | **Portuguese** (Brasil) | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/view/1232430) | | **Russian** | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6108305) | | **Spanish** (Spain) | ```ASS``` [[Anarchy-Ñ]](https://nyaa.si/view/2018762) | | **Spanish** (Latin America) | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/view/1232430) | | **Turkish** | ```ASS``` [[1456ha]](https://subdl.com/s/info/JaTXMTeXyD/somali-and-the-forest-spirit) | | | | **Chapters** | ✅ | | **Covers** | ✅ | **Notes on subtitles:** - All subtitles have been checked, and, if necessary, timed to make sure at least the dialogue is in sync with the audio. For languages other than English, I don’t guarantee frame-perfect sign sync, though. - All ASS subtitles have been resampled, if necessary. - All of the fonts are [subset](https://github.com/wyzdwdz/assfonts) in order to save space, meaning they contain only the necessary glyphs for their respective subtitles. ### Extras - Creditless OP and ED with lyrics/karaoke ## Sources **Video, NCs, and chapters:** [npz's BD remux](https://nyaa.si/view/1991043) (JPBD video) **Episodes' audio:** [Galator](https://nyaa.si/view/1731125) **Subtitles:** See Contents above **Covers:** TheTVDB & stills from the encoded episodes ## Encoding | Type | Tool | Settings | | :-- | :-- | :-- | | **Video** - Filtering | **[VapourSynth](https://www.vapoursynth.com)** | [deband](https://bin.disroot.org/?f259a98ea8300015#948uViXfrVQgtrquEdCwgbcgTVobYY6haDrUWWB8Z2yr) | | **Video** - AV1 | [**SVT-AV1-PSY** v2.3.0-C-622fb012](https://github.com/Akatmks/svt-av1-psy-quality/releases) + **[Av1an](https://github.com/rust-av/Av1an)** + [**Progression Boost** Character-Boost-Butteraugli-Max](https://github.com/Akatmks/Akatsumekusa-Encoding-Scripts/blob/e0b41c5d6b7c802e98bf55d0d8b9f2ea2adc534f/Progression-Boost/Progression-Boost.py) | ```--crf 10-40 --preset 2 --tune 3 --psy-rd 1 --enable-dlf 2 --tf-strength 1 --luminance-qp-bias 20 --qp-scale-compress-strength 2 --enable-variance-boost 1 --variance-boost-strength 1 --variance-octile 4 --complex-hvs 1 --enable-qm 1 --qm-min 8 --chroma-qm-min 10 --film-grain 7``` w/ metric target = ```0.750``` | | | | **[One scene in the OP](https://files.catbox.moe/wrkpgi.mkv):** _Same settings except:_ ```--crf 6``` | | **Audio** - Opus | [**opusenc** 0.2-35-gbb045db-dirty](https://github.com/Chocobo1/opus-tools_win32-build) (**libopus** v1.5.2) | ```--bitrate 128``` | ## Playback It is highly recommended to watch any AV1 release with an up-to-date media player. I personally recommend the **[mpv media player](https://thewiki.moe/tutorials/mpv)**, but [MPC-HC](https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases) or [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc) also support AV1 playback. ___ | Comparisons / Screenshots | MediaInfo | Direct Download | | :--: | :--: | :--: | | [JPBD (39.0 Mb/s) (source) vs. RigAV1 (3 517 kb/s) (encode) vs. SpoonyBard (7 578 kb/s) vs. Kawaiika-Raws (5 653 kb/s) vs. Polarwindz (5 107 kb/s)](https://slow.pics/c/P7l9FJwe) | [EP 01](https://bin.disroot.org/?abd72cee402b740b#BsXa8wrSoYmyENRKii6ADQ2D3ivhtAq56LPcxtCRdKpn) | [Anime Tosho](https://animetosho.org/search?q=rigav1) w/ attachments | ___
