Wow that’s a throwback. Encode is kinda CHONKY, but thanks for the upload!
StazCherryBlood
Nice

@JaqDiq You’re welcome!
Yeah, the encode ended up quite a chonker, but that was the only way to retain all the film grain that exists in the source. I’m not a fan of degraining/denoising because it washes away fine details, specially in dark scenes, and Lain is full of dark grainy scenes.

Compared to [Kagura] encode this looks sharpened for no reason.

No sharpening has been done, but I did do some extremely light dehaloing.
Source vs encode comparison:

I also went ahead and downloaded Kagura’s encode to take a look, and this is their encode vs raw:

Looks like that encode was actually blurred for no reason.

nice and crisp, great release. as stated above, none of the dark scenes are blocky or washed out

Thanks!

How did you handle the lower resolution shots? IIRC, some scenes were scanned in lower resolution, and some were upscaled from SD with q-tec-like algorithm.
