It took a long time but it is done, for now.
All total of 8 DVD ISO images, subs, all scanned box arts and booklets, and Jellyfin/Emby/Plex ready posters that are made from box scans.
Now, the issue is Jellyfin/Emby/Plex posters are supposed to be 2:3 ratio, however as you see the boxes, they are actually 5:7 ratio. Making box scans into 2:3 ratio inevitably cuts quite a lot of area. So here I made both 2:3 and 5:7 versions of posters from the box scans. They are completely descreened, cleaned and edited.
Originally I would do work on all 48 scans, but I have my real life so unfortunately only two posters in the end.
All ofhter scans are descreening applied. Non-descreened scans would be bigger in size and much harder to work with due to massive moire patterns
About subs; initially I had no idea who made these English subs for Da-Garn, but by searching "Da Garn" instead of "Da-Garn" revealed the release group called [MC-HS]'s more modernized (well, it is 8 years old though...) rip of Da-Garn, which has exact subs, so they are the ones who made the subs. It seems Da-Garn is their only work and they have no website whatsoever so I won't be able to ask permission it seems. Korean subs from my previous torrent.
Edit 7/17/2021: This is the probably the best encoded release for far. It does not have subtitles. You can download subs from this torrent or extract them from MC-HS's release.

This torrent does have subs included, but only has disk images. If you are looking for already encoded English translated files, then you should look for [MC-HS] releases there:

I have no clue about their non-DVD sources on later part. So if you want something all from DVD but encoded in WMV9, you can download mine.

I have very crappy internet so DO NOT JUST CUT OFF after you finish downloading. SEED. MOAR.
So, everything is done and I am finally watching files from MC-HS more carefully, and already I found some weird behaviours from this particular release. Def something has gone wrong or something....
Edit : So the non-DVD sources are XVID files lol.
Holy shit. So I'm the guy who did distro for the group MCS (midnight crew subs), da garn was a collaboration between us and another group called Hikari Senshi, so our joint tag was MC-HS. We're BASICALLY dead at this point although I do have a few small things I should get back to editing someday
holy shit though, thanks for this. Ive been trying to get my hands on DVD rips for Da Garn after our source disappeared. The intention was always to replace the old files as we got DVD sources but we were left hanging. This has been one of the great loose ends of my subbing career lol, so thanks for this
