Bleach [Lunar, DB & SGKK]  

Fine-tuning in a few hours, have to catch my bus.

It's a bit hard to read, especially the titles and links.
I also don't like how [Lunar&DB&SGKK] looks, I'd prefer [Lunar, DB, SGKK] or just [Mixed Groups].

Your description / summery is getting cut off at the bottom. You need to add about 4-5 pixles on to the bottom.

Also, why replace what is currently available? Having the seasons separated out, is the preferred method.

Well, actually that was done before[a consolidated version that is.] Case in example - Naruto. Consolidated season as well as individual seasons both were kept. However, that was the entire complete season of Naruto offered[before Shippuden], so I don't know if my arguement will hold validity in this case.
Edit: Seems to have been the inverse case of here; in Naruto, the consolidated torrent came first and then the individual seasons. Also, individual was multiaudio, so my arguement is a "Moo" point here.

I'll try and find a better color later.


I don't like current, but don't really think those are a lot better though. Maybe just "Bleach". The "Katekyo Hitman Reborn" anime torrent is like that.

IMO, a single torrent is always preferred, one place to get them all, and it'll save us the trouble of replacing season 4-6 and 11 with DB files. Also, why this when seasons with DB files got uploaded just a few months ago? Well, for one thing we didn't know Bleach was ending. I don't think I would have gone through the trouble if I knew Bleach was ending. Reason why I didn't bother to upload since I figured I could just solve the problem by offering a full series torrent.

"Moot" point, but you're not entirely wrong or entirely right. There were fansub/single-audio torrents for individual seasons of Naruto (2002) on BBT in the past, before the current megatorrent was uploaded. The BBT batches were stalled at Season5 / ep 135 for a long time while everyone waited for the fillers to end and an additional 3 months for AonE to finish subbing them. Then the multiaudio torrents were added season by season, though perhaps they could now be combined as well.

One question would be, was DB the best group (in terms of subbing and overall quality) for all the eps from 71-274?  Hardsubs are contentious enough, but h264 in .avi is universally frowned upon. Then again, I suppose there would be a few jumps back and forth, since there are a few spans where only DB is available.


I tend to use a + in my folders and records for shows with multiple/mixed non-joint release groups, as I did with this torrent. It's also been done with a certain other long shounen anime.

It's not 640x480, Takeshi. 848x480 (Anam. 16:9).

I think instead of replacing, the old redundant offers should be made group D for those of us who do not want the entire torrent. I know you can just tell your client to not download some files, but not everyone knows this and I feel a lot of "new" people will end up downloading more than they want.

Also, on a note about filesize... what they hell. I have webstream copies from our website [before we shut it down] and the first 180 episodes = 60gb... And they are quite good quality, but there is a small amount of boxing on some episodes. Now I'm not a professional level encoder, though I would consider myself to be above average, but this does not make sense to me. We purposely lowered the quality to allow streaming over the net, so how does one make high quality at such low filesizes?
I'm just curious because I could use such information  

I was talking our early encodes, the later episodes have no boxing/banding.
Edit: also. 366 episodes, 360 files

Episode specials, 2 episodes in one file.

I personally believe they are our best option. There's Flomp, and the files in the season four torrent. I suppose a comparison could be initiated...


Fixed, probably need to re-work it some more.

It's both, since the show started out in 2004 being made in 4:3, and then switched to 16:9 at ep 168. Though perhaps the DB file data should reflect that, since it implies that everything up to 274 is 640x480.

It's not the site's fault if people don't know how to use their torrent clients. If they don't know how to selectively download files, they really ought to learn. And unlike other technically-redundant Group D torrents that offer something different/worthwhile, these would be mostly the exact same files. Note that the old Naruto fansub/season torrents I was talking about are no longer on BBT, because they were the same ANBU&AonE/AonE files. The only ones possibly worth Group D-ing imo would be the seasons by non-DB groups that offer softsub versions.

As for file sizes, it's only a large torrent because it's a long show. The files average 170 MB per ep, which is perfectly in line with standard file sizes for SD TV rips throughout Bleach's 7.5 years on the air. In fact, I'd say they're a little low for an action show. And given that some new releases of 26 or even 13-episode series approach or exceed the same total file size as this torrent, I wouldn't say that file size is a huge concern these days.

I never said the file size was too big... Quite the opposite
Edit: cuan, ICWHUTUDIDTHAR

Well, you're encoding from a loosy source so that might have something to do with it.

That seems to be normal for Bleach.  

Oh, I was talking about my releases only. lol

Oh wait, this is the end of this show?? Or perhaps a second season like Naruto is coming up?

Oh and 61GB, I was thinking of archiving HD, but if SD itself is this big, wonder how big HD archive is gonna be.

The end of the show as of now at least. The manga is still ongoing but there's been no word of whether the anime might pick up again after the manga makes some progress or something. As far as the Bleach anime as we know it, 366 is the final episode.

As far as HD, there wasn't really any HD releases until after ep. 274. That may change as BD's come out though. As of right now, with the SD releases up to 274, and 720p HD after that, my total collection is 74GB + 2GB for the 3 movies I have currently.

so...this is the complete series?  

Yes, minus the 4 movies.

Naruto's Dual Audio releases were uploaded in seasons because they were uploaded as they were released by BluDragon initially. We have always required complete batches over season batches. We only allow a series to be uploaded in seasons if it's still ongoing.
