Azur Lane / アズールレーン BDRip
10-bit 1080p HEVC + FLAC, MKV format. ~ 1.1 GB / EP.
Embedded official CHN PGS.
Thanks to UHA-WINGS for elaborating Chinese subtitles.
The quality of the original source is ok, the lines are thin and faint and come with fairly strong aliasing and ringing; some scenes have colour-banding as well. PP included anti-aliasing, de-ringing and line darkening, and we also applied routine de-banding.

Thanks a lot! I have one question though, where did you get the 96Khz character songs? as far as I am aware they have only been published as 44.1khz CD. did you guys get them from some lossless streaming site? if so, do you think the sample rate is legit (from the studio) or up sampled by a third party?

@MiloTheFirst
his is included in the description so you can do some digging and see how they treat audio files in post processing

@mrcstgt thanks, but that thread seems to be behind a pay (donation) wall. after registering, the link provided here redirects to a thread with instructions to upgrade one’s subscription tier. All I needed to know is if those songs have a legitimate 96khz master or if this was just up-sampled after ripping the 44.1khz disc. for those not familiar with audio processing and encoding, up sampling a finished song is both extremely difficult to do well (even for bona fide professionals) and completely pointless for a consumer, upsampling will not create any detail or nuance that was not already in the source file out nowhere. the only reason to upsample a track is if you need to insert it in a higher sample project, such as if you are working on a remix, or a video etc.
Don’t get me wrong, I am really grateful to the poster for sharing this collection. I am a fan of both the franchise and its music, I even bought a couple of those discs myself. but if those 96khz files are made by any third parties instead of the studio, then they are worse and redundant considering we are being given the original CD rips in this very same torrent. hence why I wanted to know

Our source providers purchased Hi-Res songs from https://mora.jp/. A lot of their songs are natively lossless with a golden Hi-Res mark, you will see a disclaimer in the description if a lossless file was upsampled from a lossy format.
