Hello everyone, we are "YouKnow" Fansub Group.
Firstly, we would like to thank hikiko for his selfless sharing over the years and wish him all
the best.
Since there have been no shared resources for the past two months, we have decided to purchase
and release them on our website ourselves. However, as a non-profit organization, the monthly
expense of at least 40,000 yen is becoming difficult to sustain in the long run.
Therefore, following the suggestions from our enthusiastic viewers and discussions among our
members, we have decided to open a Patreon account. We hope everyone can join us in this
effort.
I don't know how much we can collect or how long we can keep this up. But we guarantee that
all funds will be used exclusively for purchasing relevant works, and we will not accept any
sponsorships with attached advertisements or conditions.
Please refer to the Patreon page for participation details. If you have any other questions, please
contact us via email or Telegram.
大家好，我们是知名不具字幕组。
首先感谢 hikiko 多年来的无私分享，希望他一切安好。
由于近两个月没有人分享相关资源，我们决定自行购买并发布至网站。
但作为一个非盈利性组织，每个月至少 40,000yen 的支出长期来看有些难以承担。
所以在热心观众的建议及组内成员讨论后，我们决定开通 Patreon，希望大家能够一起
和我们做下去。
我们不知道这能筹集到多少，也不知道能坚持多久。但我们保证相关资金会完全用于购
买相关作品，同时不接受任何附带广告等条件的赞助。
参与方法请参照 Patreon 页面。如果你有其他问题请通过邮件或 TG 联系我们。

This link contains the original DVD content for people with coding skills. Considering safety issues, it is valid for three days.

I'm curious as to why the raw files here are larger than those in the previous torrent: https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/4139184
I assume it's because the files in that torrent were encoded and the ones here aren't?
@WaffleTiger
The raws in this page are upscaled from “2024-06 Anime Collection”.
“2024-06 Anime Collection” has been processed using original DVD content, If anyone is not satisfied with this result, he can work it himself.
Btw, last time you said some web version may have higher quality than dvd, Can you recommend some websites to us?
We check dmm&fanza, less than 20% of animations can be released on time.
@sakurato
If they're upscaled, then you might want to label the folder as "Upscaled" instead of "RAW", so that there's no confusion there. I don't know if you've checked their release, but the [H-Enc] group did a pretty good job of upscaling and fixing the interlacing: https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/4140280
As for websites that release same day web versions that are higher quality than DVDs, unfortunately, as you said, most labels don't release them until later, sometimes even months later. I completely understand if your group decides to stick with buying DVDs only, especially if you want to keep a monthly schedule. In an ideal world, if the crowdfunding could support it, buying both the DVDs and then the higher quality web versions later would be great, but that's expensive and unlikely.
Anyways, thanks again to your group for picking up where hikiko left off.
I just did a quick comparison of your upscales in this torrent with the DVD rips in your previous torrent and I'm sorry to say...but your upscales are awful. Blowing up a 480p source to 1080p is rarely going to look good and your upscales have a clear loss in detail along with colors that aren't correct.
@WaffleTiger
We have raised nearly $200 so far, and all funds will be used to purchase DVD of the month. The web version was released too late, and I'm not sure if it has anti-piracy settings. Especially before knowing what happened to Hiko, we don't want to change too much. The original DVD content of next month will be published in a safer way too.
About your opinion on video quality I completely understand. I don't know if English groups distinguish between translation group, encoding group(focus on video quality only) and transport group(like subs and horrible), but we are the former. If you are willing to join or help us, I may provide you with original DVD content as soon as passible.
That’s great that your group has been able to raise that much for next month. I really hope that helps to keep everything going. As for English speaking groups that work on anime or hentai, all groups are different. Some can do it all (i.e., translation, encoding, etc.), while others focus on the one thing they’re able to do. I understand your group may not have a dedicated encoder, but unfortunately I’m not an expert either, just a dedicated fan of hentai. Maybe try and get in touch with the [H-Enc] group? I linked one of their torrents in my previous response. It seems like they’re a Chinese group too and they have a Telegram channel you may be able to use to contact them.
