So this was primarily done to save on space since I did want the quality but not the accompanying file size.
The compression was roughly 80% on the series (110GB to 22.2GB)
The compression was roughly 90% on the movies (39.6GB to 3.69GB)
Overall 149GB to 25.9GB.
Default audio was kept to English with subtitles on. Again, that's just my preference...
To save face and not bombard with information, I'm just going to use the lowest file size for information, and keep it basic.... Basically it did a great job, the only noticeable difference to me is the grain in some episodes. That's about it.

Uhhh I don't think so Omni. I think this was based off the Coalgirls. Far as I know the 4K Remaster didn't include the dub (Jap only).
Tbh I didn't even know a 4K remaster came out =/. There might be timing issues with the video sync and finding suitable audio for it.
Oh damn I knew I forgot something in the release name. Sorry, it's BluRay @Zippy.
Though now reading back on the releases and with Omni's information on the Remastered lol... I feel like I should've looked into it a bit more. It's only temporary I guess -- Hopefully someone out there finds suitable English audio for the remastered since the PV did make it look like it has a more natural hue to it.
No worries @Omni.. Though now I am too -.- FML lol. Once I've seeded this a bit more, I'll download the Moozzi release (presuming it has seeders) and see what the go is... And see what I can do. Though I am in no way an expert but see if we can get any noticeable difference.
That's the way Soma :p
Edit: Judging off a quick glimpse though... This might take some time since there's no one seeding it.. ETA is 2 weeks lol... I could go off kuchikirukia release maybe? I'll give the raws a go before I jump onto that.
Well this blows... The remastered are a shit ton sharper and just look so much nicer.. BOO.

I'm going to download the remaster and see what my options are now. GREAT. Hopefully the English audio lines up and get the subtitles to work around it.
You might just get your wish @Omni lol.. WHY WOULD YOU SHOW ME THAT.
Edit: Just from a rough mock up of episode 1/2 -- the Audio and subtitles mux well together with the remastered release. Looks like I'll be re-doing this series with the re-mastered video source. Sigh... Well this time around shouldn't be so painful. I might end up deleting this torrent when I release the remastered HEVC.

The colours alone in the remastered look a lot more natural and there isn't much loss with the HEVC conversion so overall this shouldn't be too bad.
Never thought my simple question would have such a profound impact on somebody's life choice. Lmao jk XD
I'm glad you are loving the remastered, as I've seen some preferring the original BD.
I'll help you seed when you release the remaster :D
LOL thanks - That would be appreciated. and in all fairness.. I didn't know a remastered existed.. I figured they'd give up on a series after a BluRay release.. as is the 90% of the cases with anime releases.
Though it may take a few days / week to get it all together and up. Especially since it's downloading at a snails pace. and I want the English audio so want them to work together. Just debating whether to put up the HEVC release only or actually chuck up the full sized remaster also. We'll see I guess. First the HEVC
Remastered will be up in 24-48h roughly Omni. I might just bundle the same movies with it since I really don't have a source for the movies (remastered wise). Had to re-mux the English audio and subtitles and choose a suitable audio Japanese track since the RAW's came with two and sometimes three different Japanese tracks..
Feel somewhat redundant uploading two CCS torrent's but figured since there is no dual audio remastered it should help a few. My only debate is whether I should release the dual audio 1080p remastered (105GB) after. Seeing as this one alone I've uploaded 250GB easily... And I have a feeling the remaster might be a similar number.
Hihi
I haven't seen a source for the movie as well.

In kuchikirukia's release, he/she mentioned removing the grains from the videos and halved the size of the episodes.
I'm not sure if it would compromise the video quality though.
I don't usually download full size so idk maybe see if someone requests for it? XD
Appreciate your hard work.
There is now... with OP&ED and it's HEVC and it's smaller than this.
P.S. I hate you Omni for showing me the remastered. Kthnx. =)
