[jeebs] M.D. Geist / Soukihei MD Geist (Director's Cut) (Dual Audio 480p 10bit HEVC-x265)

1986 OVA (Director's cut) with English/Japanese 2ch AAC Audio, English Subs (VOBSUB) (Full Subs)

Spent quite a lot of time between this and Deathforce. Unfortunately, there's no good source for this OVA. Shame, as it's one of my favs. Seeing as how the bulk of anime viewers don't appreciate fine art, i don't see it ever getting a remaster. So, i did what i could. Was able to significantly clean it up at a cost of ~5% detail (mostly from the blacks). removed 95% of the rainbowing, cleaned up artifacts and aliasing, sharpened a good bit and dithered. probably ran about 15 filter chains, but ultimately decided this one was the best. the benefit is far greater than the cost imo. but if you need 100% detail, this is not for you. you were given screen caps and warned before downloading.
