*****Uploaded a color corrected version of the untouched Bluray if you want as much quality as possible and a high bitrate (https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1141922). If you want a smaller file size, stick with this torrent :)*****
Hey all, I merged the 1080p HD non green-tinted video from the leaked MangaUK torrent (from this torrent: https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1118266) with the 5.1 English audio from the Funimation release that I time corrected (from this torrent: https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1135762)
The audio is FLAC 5.1. I extended the audio length by 0.1% (which is the difference in video length between the MangaUK and Funimation releases when you factor out the MangaUK intro and the slight difference in FPS that makes the Manga UK version about 5 seconds longer, this made the audio about 5 seconds longer total to sync with the Manga UK video) and delayed it by 12.481 seconds, which is what I found to best account for the MangaUK intro and match the video (took me more time to find that than I care to admit). I also mixed in the audio from the MangaUK intro before the English audio, so you don’t even notice that it isn’t official. All Lossless, no compression.
This also includes the original JP 5.1 track, along with time adjusted Funimation subs for just the signs for English audio, and subs for the whole movie from the MangaUK release.
*****IF YOU ARE WATCHING THE MOVIE WITH HEADPHONES OR STEREO SPEAKERS, MAKE SURE VLC IS OUTPUTTING THE SOUND AS “STEREO” INSTEAD OF “ORIGINAL” SO IT IS DOWNMIXED PROPERLY AND SOUNDS MUCH BETTER (so much it’s ridiculous). THIS IS WHY IT SOUNDED SO BAD IN CERTAIN THEATERS. To do this, in VLC click on the “Audio” tab, then “Stereo Mode”, then “Stereo”.*****
I think its pretty spot on, but if you notice anything off about the English audio and video sync, or have suggestions, let me know.

You got the wrong idea but good intentions. Audio is not the most definitive factor to high quality. Video bitrate is more important, that is why bluray still exists. The fighting sequences are pretty bad compared to the bluray version. Look's choppy and not smooth unlike the bluray version.
I'd rather have green tint than this low bitrate anyday.
I honestly don't see a difference. And the video is from the MangaUK release, so is their official release just inferior to Funimation release if you factor out the green tint? Cause I would think bitrate wouldn't be too much of an issue when pulling video from an official release, unless it had something to do with the MangaUK release being a Web-DL for now. Could be wrong though. Either way most of us just wanted that tint gone, and I'd rather do this than try to put a filter over the Funi video and risk damaging the quality during the process.
EDIT: Decided to go back and watch one of the messed up bluray versions and I think I can kind of see what you're saying. Any idea how I could change the tint without messing up the video quality? What I have uploaded now is still good, but I like to have the highest quality possible haha.
I don't want to wait D: I'm impatient haha. Also, did some digging using mkvmerge and mediainfo. So the video in my torrent is 6849 kb/s bitrate, and most of the bluray torrents I looked at have a bit over 7000 kb/s, so my video is just below the average. The one exception is this bluray torrent (https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1136024) which has a whopping 10.1 mb/s bitrate, so if someone wants to correct the green tint you should do it on this one.
"whopping 10 mbps"? Nah. The FUNi BD's bitrate is 33.798 mbps, which is one of their highest bitrate encodes ever (most of theirs are 20 mbps or so). The Manga UK BD is somehwere around 29 mbps, I believe. I have no clue what Toei's gonna do, as they have zero extras on disc and have the audio as glorious LPCM 5.1 at full 24-bit (unlike FUNi which is 16-bit).
So MangaUK uses dub terms...sometimes. Like Freeza is Frieza but Bra is still Bra and not Bulla.
They also have the mistranslated line that annoys the crap out of me. When Paragus says "my Broly will be killed" should have been "I will be killed by Broly" when he is having the freakout during the Vegeta Vs Broly fight.
If you could edit this stuff if you do a future release, that would be very helpful. I don't know how to edit the subtitles myself. If I knew how to, I would just do that. I might also change some other stuff I nitpick about.
Sorry but I don't actually edit the sub text :/ If I do another release I will use the Funimation subs instead.
Also, I found that this torrent is the only one with the 34 mbps bitrate and high bit rate audio, and is basically comparable to the actual bluray: https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1135224
I would love to color correct it and do a release, but have no idea how. Anyone know how/what software I could use to edit the video file without losing any quality?
Anything you do to it will make the bitrate go down. Unless you have the source file, like funi/toei/mangauk, you will never be able to color correct it while retaining quality. The source might be around 100-200gb which they encode to 20-30gb. What you're doing is double encode which renders the quality to degrade.
To your previous question, "Dang that sounds great. So why are all of the bluray rips on here so far between 7 and 10 mbps?". Some people can't afford the bandwidth to download large files or have storage for it. Streaming sites like itunes/netflix/amazon also do this. That is why low quality exists.
Unless the next generation blurays come out with 200gb per discs, 20gb-30gb is the best you will get right now.
@spinmaster1490 if you're re-encoding, then there's a ton of ways to go about fixing color.
You could start by using something which supports filters like Avidemux, Hybrid, Avisynth GUI's like MeGUI, or even Virtualdub [does anybody here even use this anymore lol?], etc.
If the tint is only in a few scenes, then those scenes can be selectively encoded and then combined together with the final output.
1st make a sample file of a select few frames, and try out different settings on them till you are satisfied with the output, then apply settings and encode the parts which require color correction.
Then compile them together. Fin. Of course you could also try adding/applying other filters to improve the output as per your taste.
--------
Aah time for the question of loss of quality eh? If you ask me, I'd say > well it depends..
The definition would make every encode sound like a quality loss since it differs from the original.
But still there are ways to make the final output seem better to the average & even trained eye in some cases.
eg:
>When you are upscaling something especially anime!
Encoders have more CPU time as opposed to decoders, and as such we can use much more complex algorithms during encoding. If done right, it will look better at its new resolution than the real time upscaled source file. [Nowadays CPU's are much better and the advantage may be less pronounced]
Somewhat similar things are true for other filters & algorithms. Like denoising, removing grain, sharpening, line darkening, color/contrast/saturation, HDR remapping, etc, which may work well with anime.
So if you can find a mix of filters which works for you, you might even end up preferring the output from your own encode than what was in the SOURCE!
If you asked me my taste, I'd keep the grain, apply a slight sharpen, tidy up the edges & outlines, maintaining CRF above 16 not lower than 12 though, keeping color as it is. ;)
--------
Hope this was helpful, happy encoding everyone!

@jnx_r thanks for all the tips! I actually just uploaded a color corrected version of the untouched bluray with its awesome high bitrate, I'll link it in my description above.
