@vanyk, @Pinky Cat You're welcome. Please note that my translation abilities are in fact very limited, I mainly assist in extracting subtitles (from hard-coded ones) and timing them. But I really like making more obscure or overlooked works more accessible because I'm certain they deserve it. Okay, here are 2 obscure animation efforts that I acquired recently. First is a PV DVD released in 2008 called "東方紅魔郷 ARRANGE PV" by circle "WITCH☆CRAFT" and featuring a very nice and early Reimu 3D model by ISAO. This was obviously made before the MMD era (MMD just came out or hasn't come out yet by the time this animation was produced). This isn't lost media yet, but only very bad quality reposts exist of this. So I'm posting a full DVD rip here. Now unfortunately, I couldn't make an ISO because the disc had very bad corruption or burning defects despite looking prestine, but I was able to copy all the files at least. That's why all the datestamps are wrong (they should normally read 14th of May 2008 at 7:52AM). There is also a very annoying interlacing glitch throughout the whole PV which makes the picture look very jittery (when deinterlaced properly). Probably an authoring bug or sign of amateurism. Some video expert might be able to fix this. Second is a very well known dogfight animation from Mudspike (oh, what a coincidence again). Catalog number is MUDS-0001. This is the Reimu vs Utsuho fight. This already exists in 720p on YouTube on the creator's channel, so far from lost media (unless the creator melts down). But this DVD edition offers much better quality and even a subtitleless version. I'm offering a full ISO this time. More will come later. A DVD ISO rip of 東方奇闘劇 3 from AQUA STYLE (only exists in very low quality uploads) and some very obscure thing called "東方見聞録" by circle FRAGILE ONLINE released in 2004, if I'm not lazy.
