Description
If you like your anime looking less blurry, hopefully you’ll like this. Before and after comparison provided below.
Subtitle source: Baal/Cman (season 1), same as CTR for season 2
BD vs Encode 1
BD vs Encode 2
BD vs Encode 3
BD vs Encode 4
I highly recommend mpv as your media player. Here's a sample screenshot of mpv with my script, without, and VLC. My script for anyone who would like to use it.
Fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender? I uploaded 2 filtered versions to fix the atrocious artifacts present in the blu-ray. Comparison of BD vs version 1 and the torrent can be found here. Comparison of BD vs version 2 and the torrent can be found here. Version 1 majorly reduces the halo artifacts, while still keeping most of the picture structure and details, but at the cost of more artifacts left behind. Particularly the non-halo ones -- though that's limited almost entirely to season 1. Version 2 is filtered more aggressively -- getting rid of all non-halo artifacts, and a bit better of a job with the halo artifacts, but at the cost of detail.

Better version than VCB?

Thanks btw!
A matter of preference. So you and others can decide: VCB vs Mine
You should probably start making more comparisons. It's hard to judge a release on just one comparison, especially with how easy it is to cherrypick one of the better-looking frames.
Noted. Hadn't even thought of that, to be honest. I always just go for a random frame early in the first episode that either falls on an exact 20 or 5 second skip.
Edit: For the comparison vs VCB, I was just happy to finally find a frame that was the same as one of their screenshots.
Although, unless an encode is just plain bad from start to finish, it would still be easy for a person to cherry-pick 10+ better looking frames to compare in a single episode, let alone all the episodes included...
Not saying I won't consider doing it for upcoming releases. Just pointing out that if someone was actively taking the time to cherry-pick a frame to make their encodes look better, then I'm sure they'd be willing to find more. I didn't even pick a good one for Noragami, haha. In that one, it seemed like the line darkener fucked up and darkened the outline of the hair in one spot way more than it did for other lines of the same darkness, but still uploaded it because my encodes just aren't perfect and I know it. Might as well show it a bit.
Great release, I like the sharper look!
Any chance you're doing "Toradora" (I only find releases based on moozi2 which has changed colors), "Shinsekai Yori" or "Tsuki ga Kirei" as well?
There's no colour change for Moozzi2's Tsuki ga Kirei -- at least not that I saw -- so I won't be doing that one. The other 2, maybe eventually. I have others planned first.
Oh, I didn't know Moozi2 had Tsuki ga Kirei. The color change I was referring to was about Toradora. Thanks for pointing toward the other release, I'll check it out.
What are some of your next projects?
Keep up the great work! :)
Madoka Magica (including movies), Made in Abyss (Moozzi2's had too much of a colour change), Golden Time (Moozzi2's had too much of a colour change), Hunter x Hunter, Log Horizon, Assassination Classroom, Claymore, to name a few in no particular order.
wow!! thanks so much.
@Grandlotus It's not really criticism or anything but just something I noticed and that's the Baal/Cman subs for season 1 aren't perfectly in sync with the video. By that I mean you can see that when the title for the episode is shown, sometimes they are correctly timed and some other times they are 1-3 frames before the title or last a bit after it. It's nothing major and most people will probably not notice it but it's just something I noticed when I added the English dub to your release with the Baal/Cman subs for the signs. This could be for season 2 as well but I'll need to get the English audio for it before I check if I have to shift the time by a frame or so again. :)
Nevertheless, I really like your releases so keep up the great work!
