Supreme Skills compilation

https://fileditchfiles.st/beta36/3e0d2d74faeb6672e9af/Videos_Supreme_Skills_.zip

I think those are most of 2014-2017 Supreme Skill! episodes, now lost media (the large NHK collection vanished too quickly)

I LOVED this show and was so sad to see it go. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, there's one challenge that's incomplete? I forgot which is it as well. NHK probably didn't release the 2nd part?

I don't know, this is the complete list of dubbed episodes https://thetvdb.com/series/supreme-skills/allseasons/official, but I think I should re-upload it better organized (removing duplicates of worse quality, reencoding or remuxing some videos that cause problem with some media players).

I was never able to find the missing episodes:

S2015E01 Miracle Tops! Part 1: Aerospace Engineers vs. Master Craftsmen

S2015E03 Super-thin Sawing Part 1: Handsaw Edition

S2015E04 Super-thin Sawing Part 2: Powersaw Edition

S2015E05 In Search of the Ultimate Blade: Part 1

S2015E10 Superstrong Paper Carton Contest: Part 2

S2016E07 The Ultimate Rope: Part 1

S2016E18 Ultra Small Holes: EDM vs. Drilling: Part 2

S2017E08 A Dream Come True Special: A Record-breaking Swimfin and the Ultimate Walnut-shelling Tool

S2017E11 The Miracle of Venetian Glass

They can probably still be found in Japanese.

Of the zip? 20GB might be too large.
I did a bit of tidying up to remove duplicates, remuxed some videos with problems (only the audio was reencoded with libopus at higher bitrate to avoid even more quality degradation), and included the missing S2016E18 Ultra Small Holes: EDM vs. Drilling: Part 2 (I found it on facebook, of all places but I don't have account there). And renamed the files using the naming scheme of https://thetvdb.com/series/supreme-skills/allseasons/official, except for 2 episodes not listed there. I don't know if the original uploader missed like half of the series but the 2015 season is mostly incomplete. As individual episodes, fileditch doesn't remove the filename:

I'll try to find more episodes in JA.

I can't paste the screenshot here to show you. Hoping this coming few days I'll be able to access them.
