Both of these superpowers now test their ambitions against each other in a space race. In 1960, the Union's Premier Gergiev announces the Mechtat Program, a prestigious plan to launch manned missions into the final frontier. To this end, the Republic establishes the isolated city of Laika 44, where cosmonaut candidates compete for planned manned missions to space, and scientists develop the technology to make it happen, all in an environment of secrecy. The story centers on Lev Leps, a backup astronaut candidate, and his new companion, the vampire Irina Ruminescu. As part of a daring new Operation Nosferatu, the Mechtat Program will use Irina as a test subject for various conditions expected in space, and ultimately as part of a manned mission, with Lev overseeing Irina's training as a cosmonaut. For reasons of their own, both dream of going into space. ## Contents | | Season 1 | | :-- | :-- | | **Video** | 1080p AV1 10-bit | | **Audio #1** | **Japanese** Opus 2.0 128 kbps | | **Audio #2** | **English** Opus 5.1 256 kbps | | **Audio #3** | **Japanese Commentary** Opus 2.0 64 kbps _(Episodes 6 and 7)_ | || | **Subtitles** | | || | **English** | ```ASS``` **Full** [[WBDP]](https://nyaa.si/view/1781675) _(Modified - see notes below)_ | | | ```ASS``` **Signs & Songs** [[WBDP]](https://nyaa.si/view/1781675) _(Modified - see notes below)_ | | **Arabic** | ```ASS``` [[LUNATIC]](https://subdl.com/s/info/80wCqxKaJa/irina-the-vampire-cosmonaut) | | **Catalan** | ```ASS``` [[AMF]](https://nyaa.si/view/1665852) | | **Chinese** (Simplified & Traditional) | ```ASS``` [[Nekomoe kissaten]](https://nyaa.si/view/1993171) | | **French** | ```ASS``` [[Wakanim]](https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/pimdbid-14264160/season-1/sublanguageid-fre) | | **German** | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/view/1969204) | | **Indonesian** | ```SRT``` [[AMZN]](https://subdl.com/s/info/zUEWnhFidM/irina-the-vampire-cosmonaut) | | **Persian** | ```ASS``` [[ShadowThrone]](https://subdl.com/s/info/EVdag0rdF8/irina-the-vampire-cosmonaut) | | **Portuguese** (Brazil) | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/view/1969204) | | **Russian** | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/view/1969204) | | **Spanish** (Latin America) | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/view/1969204) | | **Spanish** (Spain) | ```ASS``` [[AMF]](https://nyaa.si/view/1665852) | | **Ukrainian** | ```ASS``` [[Di-Vers]](https://nyaa.si/view/1471884) | | **Vietnamese** | ```ASS``` [[Kageboshi-BILI]](https://subdl.com/s/info/cmrcNmQbe8/irina-the-vampire-cosmonaut) | | | | **Chapters** | ✅ | | **Covers** | ✅ | **Notes on subtitles:** - Modifications done to the **English [WBDP]** subtitles: - [Edited the script](https://www.diffchecker.com/jNIPRDjP). - Retimed. - Restyled and realigned the signs. - Modified/added ASS tags (italics, alignment, fades, etc.). - OP & ED: Modified [OP and ED lyrics](https://www.diffchecker.com/WO6pnf8x). Added Romaji lyrics. Changed the font for the OP. - 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 (except those for English subtitles) are [subset](https://github.com/wyzdwdz/assfonts) in order to save space, meaning they contain only the glyphs that are used. ## Sources **Video, Japanese audio, and chapters:** [TTGA's BD remux](https://nyaa.si/view/1507947) (JPBD video) **English audio:** [WBDP](https://nyaa.si/view/1781675) **Commentary:** KoushinRip's JPBDMV Vol. [1](https://nyaa.si/view/1482471) & [2](https://nyaa.si/view/1507725) ## Encoding | Type | Tool | Settings | | :-- | :-- | :-- | | **Video** - Filtering | **[VapourSynth](https://www.vapoursynth.com)** | [denoise, anti-alias, deband](https://bin.disroot.org/?079cb061cde8f698#BP5HJyCZxkYkUVVju23c2YNNg36HoTH1k27zmngZqP88) | | **Video** - AV1 | [**SVT-AV1-PSY** v2.3.0-C-2f788d04+e87a5ae3](https://github.com/Akatmks/svt-av1-psy-quality/releases) + **[Av1an](https://github.com/rust-av/Av1an)** + [**Progression Boost** Max-Character-Butteraugli](https://github.com/Akatmks/Akatsumekusa-Encoding-Scripts/blob/7082f7f4b1de48f773c4ad75e10911850684a041/Progression-Boost/Progression-Boost.py) + **[Grav1synth](https://github.com/rust-av/grav1synth)** | ```--crf 11 --preset 2 --tune 0 --ac-bias 1.5 --tx-bias 3 --complex-hvs 1 --enable-restoration 0 --enable-cdef 0 --noise-norm-strength 3 --max-32-tx-size 1 --tf-strength 1 --balancing-q-bias 1 --balancing-r0-based-layer-offset 0 --luminance-qp-bias 80 --enable-qm 1 --qm-min 12 --qm-max 15 --chroma-qm-min 12 --chroma-qm-max 15 --enable-variance-boost 1 --variance-boost-strength 3 --variance-octile 4 --hbd-mds 1 --color-primaries 1 --transfer-characteristics 1 --matrix-coefficients 1 --color-range 0``` w/ _Progression Boost metric disabled_ + FGS: ```--iso 600``` | | **Audio** - Opus | [**opusenc** 0.2-37-g5f83943-dirty](https://github.com/Chocobo1/opus-tools_win32-build) (**libopus** v1.6) | ```--bitrate 256``` / ```--bitrate 128``` / ```--bitrate 64``` | ## 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. _Note that some newer versions of VLC have issues with Opus surround sound playback. If you must use it, [v3.0.20](https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/3.0.20) apparently doesn't have this problem._ ___ | Comparisons / Screenshots | MediaInfo | Direct Download | | :--: | :--: | :--: | | [EP 01 - JPBD (31.5 Mb/s) (source) vs. JPBD (mpv deband) vs. RigAV1 (8 878 kb/s) (encode) vs. CR (8 000 kb/s) vs. CR (mpv deband) vs. ReinForce (6 119 kb/s) vs. VCB-Studio (4 726 kb/s) vs. WBDP (3 316 kb/s)](https://slow.pics/c/flKd9Rl5) | [EP 01](https://bin.disroot.org/?a157a50bdb8c44b0#9Zvu7RPTyDsRpsSs9eDfY6iuRRTwhr1Skg57tTETgMvB) | [Anime Tosho](https://animetosho.org/view/.n2075399) w/ attachments | ___
