This is widely considered one of the of this episode. If you are a fan of the show's aesthetic and have the storage space (given the large file size of FLAC/1080p), the FFF release provides a definitive viewing experience.

: The dialogue is natural and keeps the emotional weight of the series' climax. FFF leans slightly toward localization rather than literalism, making the complex relationships in this episode easier to follow. Final Verdict

: This specific file belongs to the group's "hi-res" batch, known for high-bitrate video and uncompressed audio. Video Quality (A-)

: FFF is known for their "fancy" typesetting. In episode 22, you'll see stylized fonts for opening/ending themes and signs. While visually appealing, some may find them slightly distracting compared to more "invisible" styles from groups like UTW.

: If you have a high-end sound system or studio headphones, the difference in the atmospheric clarity of the background music (composed by Yoshiaki Dewa) is noticeable compared to standard streaming versions. Subtitles & Translation (B+)

: By opting for 24-bit FLAC over AAC or AC3, this release offers the maximum possible fidelity for the episode's orchestral score and sound effects (like the ambient underwater hum and lapping waves).

: The blues and greens of the ocean are exceptionally crisp. The character outlines are sharp, though some fansub-purists occasionally note that FFF's sharpening filters can be slightly aggressive on certain scenes. Audio Quality (A+)
