This show is basically impossible to find officially so we're heading to streaming sites (as linked on their [subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/GakiNoTsukai/)) to get copies of the show. As these shows are usually multiple hours in length they're going to be split into multiple parts. + +As expected, these files can be grabbed via `youtube-dl`, and then manually renamed into an easy to work with format (01.mp4, 02.mp4, etc.) as files with spaces can be problematic in my experience. + +Naturally, you'll need ffmpeg installed and ready to use. Windows builds can be grabbed from [this site](https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com). + +Once you have these video files, cd into the working directory and run the following to make a list of files that ffmpeg can interpret. +``` +(for %i in (*.mp4) do @echo file '%i') > concat.txt +``` +Ensure the order is correct as you definitely don't want these out of order. + +Now you can run the following: +``` +ffmpeg -f concat -i concat.txt -c copy concat.mp4 +``` + +Now you should have a single `concat.mp4` file that plays through as you'd expect it to be.
