Encoding is not an important part of the fansubbing process anyway xD
The big size is due to all the dark scenes, which in addition also have a hell of a lot ships moving (with it's effects: e.g. attack afx) all at once, and the master res is also pretty high. And due to that it is necessary to have good filter and encode settings.
The size saved with a HEVC test encode wasn't sufficient enough to preserve the same amount of details as in 264.
If you actually care and want a good quality encode for this show, a big size is more or less a need. Except you want 400MB per eps and can't even tell a planet apart from a crushed potatoe.
Not sure why Central Anime used qblur on their encode which would explain the comparisons above. Their MediaInfo based on ep1: https://pastebin.com/zM3VFjNE
Dmon's settings were obviously never about video quality. His rig only having threads=3 says it all, so it's understandable he wouldn't go all out, His Mediainfo based on Ep1 https://pastebin.com/0VUvsF1B but Dmon said he changed it after some episodes.
If the timing is the same slap on one of the subs below (and fonts) with this video.

I mean, they're using 8-bit, 2-pass, and an x264 build from 2012. They clearly have no idea what they're doing and couldn't care less about video quality.
Finally Yamato 2202 1080p BD :)
I'm assuming the subs from CentralAnime can be used here right?
I'll try to see if I can compile the extras for those who are interested ^^
@herktz - we didn't encode them. Someone did them for me. I haven't been able to encode for about 2 years now. I can't get Megui to work on Windows 10 at the moment.
