Each torrent has all of the latest versions of each episode and every released extra at its respective resolution. Each torrent also includes the resolution-agnostic extras (artwork and scans). The 1080p version also includes all of the FLAC files. Most torrent clients should allow you to deselect the FLAC files for download if you don’t want them.

Notes
The source for these rips are the U.S. Blu-rays, that includes the video, audio, and subtitles, except that the theme song Romaji were sourced from multiple sources.

I used a lossless filtering pass for the video where I did some slight anti-aliasing and moderate sharpening. I also did some slight filtering around the frame edges to lessen the brightness spiking that the sharpening emphasized. The 1080p encode is just a straight encode from the lossless pass. The 720p and 480p encodes use Spline36 resizing, and the 480p version has the Rec.709 to Rec.601 colorspace conversion.

Both audio tracks are stereo, 48 KHz, 16-bit DTS-MA tracks on the U.S. Blu-rays. I used eac3to and the Arcsoft DTS decoder. The encoding options are specified above.

The subtitles tracks are both OCRed from the U.S. Blu-rays. I made sure to watch through them to try to catch any errors, but there still may be some. I didn’t change much of the translations, though I did change the name order when Kotetsu’s full name was said. I did quite a bit of retiming, splitting, and recombining of lines. Except for the theme songs, I kept the subs towards the bottom of the screen, sometimes shifting them some to avoid other text or objects on the screen. Also, I kept each speaker to only one displayed line, such that any additional speakers just appear above the first. This is where a lot of the splitting and recombining of lines comes in.

For the subtitle styling, I used Komika as the font. The default subtitles are white with a black border and slightly translucent, dark grey shadow. Each Hero and major antagonist has their own subtitle color combination for the default subtitle track. There is another track that has only the default styling. For the opening theme songs, the colors are based on Tiger and Bunny’s Hero suits in some way. For the ending theme songs, the colors are based on their street clothes. For the first half’s theme song subtitles, the default tracks have a left-to-right fill Karaoke effect for the Romaji. The font used for OP1 is Tempus Sans, and the font used for ED1 is Bell MT. The Karaoke effect for OP2 and ED2 is a syllable-by-syllable color fade. The font used for OP2 is Pristina, and the fonts used for ED2 are Monotype Corsiva and OCR A Extended.
