I have a link. This is a fan translation but it's a lot better than the version I watched originally. It's a torrent and it's kind of a pain in the butt to get going, but here it is.

It's also a weird file-type. I watched about ten minutes but I couldn't get the player I downloaded to pause; still, what little I watched was a lot better than the other bootleg I watched. It makes Izumi a horrid little bitch (it's something they carried over from the novel, where she's also a horrid little bitch, she's just a horrid bitch a lot more often). They messed up a lot of the characters: Naoya specifically tells Kouichi they won't be friends if he keeps hanging out with Mei, and later on tries to kill Yuuya. Takako at least comes off like a nice person but lets Izumi terrorize her, so of course, the first time she stands up to her (oddly enough to stop her from killing Mei), Izumi stabs her in the throat. Tomohiko is also decent; he's probably the nicest guy in the entire thing. Yukari flat out tells Kouichi as she's dying she blames him for her death. And of course, the first time I viewed it I don't remember them mentioning Misaki, so when everyone's telling him to stop talking to Mei and he won't he really did cause the Calamity to start and it really is all his fault.

So no, it's not amazing, but the Westernization project I'm working on (which Lillian has read some of) borrows from it a little, along with the manga and anime. Honestly, the manga and anime are both better adaptions.
