It all started in such a day in late autumn. At that time, someone fell in love. Everyone was doing their best. Everyone pushed on. Everyone was intent and honest... We formed a bond and obtained a precious moment. That's why someone fell in love. A love that was too late, a love that shouldn't have occurred. And then comes winter. The falling snow covers all sins. And spring eventually comes, melting the snow and imposing all punishments. ## Contents | | Season 1 | | :-- | :-- | | **Video** | 1080p AV1 10-bit | | **Audio** #1 | **Japanese** Opus 2.0 128 kbps | | **Audio** #2 | **Japanese Commentary** Opus 2.0 64 kbps _(Episodes 1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 13)_| || | **Subtitles** | | || | **English** | ```ASS``` [[UTW]](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1389549) | | **German** | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/pimdbid-2942224/season-1/sublanguageid-ger) | | **Spanish** (Spain) | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/pimdbid-2942224/season-1/sublanguageid-spa) | | **Farsi / Persian** | ```ASS``` [[AnimWorld]](https://subdl.com/subtitle/sd1310851/white-album-2/first-season) | | **French** | ```ASS``` [[Good Job!

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. ___ | Comparisons / Screenshots | MediaInfo | Direct Download | | :--: | :--: | :--: | | [EP01 - Beatrice-Raws (source) vs. RigAV1 (encode) vs. DB](https://slow.pics/c/2DsocWAC) | [EP01](https://bin.disroot.org/?95ebc4879870ec6c#HniMRkcGCUfQUbHoqrpjkyz5addy6wGqVrPvzM9KcL68) | [Anime Tosho](https://animetosho.org/view/.n1997360) w/ attachments | ___      ___ >Will there be all seasons?
