10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
**Q:** Why are these raws good?
**A:** Better overall picture quality than any existing release, especially anything based on the Blu-Rays. [Comparisons](https://slow.pics/c/YUJGYNah)
**Q:** Why are these raws bad?
**A:** ~~A few decimation problems here and there~~, NC versions of OPs/EDs spliced in to make encoding easier, ~~faint residual combing not handled~~ (fixed in v2!), ugly MPEG2 noise everywhere because I refuse to nuke it, ~~certain point-resized-looking flashback scenes not handled~~ (fixed in v2!), codec (HEVC 4:4:4 10-bit) that may be difficult for some people to play, huge filesizes.
**Q:** Actually, yeah, why is the filesize so big??
**A:** Very noisy source, and the chroma planes are bigger than they are in your average 1080p release.
These encodes won't play correctly in VLC on Windows—they'll appear too dark. You may want to include a disclaimer to that effect if you make a release using these raws.
Episodes 168-171 are a bit glitchy. That's how they were on the original DVD.
