Thank you, I definitely want to check out the Making Of, even though I know bonus features probably will not have subtitles. I have seen the movie already, although it looks like this DVDrip is probably higher quality than what I have.

And, hey! I see this is a bt4g result that I am using!

Looks like the original torrent was from nyaa where people already asked for re-seeding: https://nyaa.si/view/356209

A Japanese DVD makes sense (NTSC 480p). The Making of is without subtitles, and I am unclear on the source of the external subtitles. (Brazilian, English, Romanian, Turkish.) It is currently stuck at 98.3% for 13 people, with the movie itself incomplete at 97.6%. It would help for a 100% seeder to complete it for all those waiting! But the most recent reseeding request at nyaa is from 6 months ago.

Good to know. Thanks. You never know when someone suddenly goes online and shares an old torrent again

I don’t know if your torrent client has it but I often specifically enabled „super seeding“ for torrents in the hope that I can help adding missing parts to the swarm..

BIG PROBLEM: The ulozto video has a huge, brightly colored watermark in the upper left corner. It is utterly obnoxious, made more so by the fact that this is a drab, grey-looking movie. The gold coloring really stands out. I can use delogo software on it, but I am not sure how well it will work on such a stark contrast. I myself have difficulty mentally ignoring watermarks, and this one would be impossible for me. I would watch the clean DVDrip instead, although I prefer that it actually complete 100% first.

I downloaded the ulozto file and verified that the Slovak subtitles ARE OPTIONAL, not hard-coded. It was not clear from examining the entry.

The ulozto video may be an upscale, but it at least suggests that there may be a HD version out there somewhere that does NOT have a watermark.

The English subtitle I linked is the correct one for THIS film. The other versions available at opensubtitles are actually for the OTHER film versions of the story.

Thx. Looks like tvrip that isn’t a true HD video. (But again in some cases SD recordings from tv can be superior to SD dvdrips.)
