I don't know how anyone can prefer this over the Koten_Gars video, maybe if your watching on a tiny screen like a phone but blown up on a big screen it looks terrible. Its smudged to death so there's loss of detail and color is faded. Its just this odd soft edited look, not natural at all.
I realize a lot of these anime have very bad sources but only so much can be done to them. DVD2HD you are not enhancing them, your just transforming them into something even worse.
I agree. Koten_Gars has the best encode that preserves the most detail. That is not my goal. My goal is to give it a new "HD" look. You don't like it and prefer the original? Great! Don't download my version. And by the way, the rip is based on the BluRay version, most of the denoising was done by them, not me.
Bloody Hell!
