## **Children of the Whales [(MyAnimeList)](https://myanimelist.net/anime/34712/Kujira_no_Kora_wa_Sajou_ni_Utau "Children of the Whales on MyAnimeList")** *** # **→ `English`** #### Disclaimer : My goal is to enable better low-sized anime releases, by using the most efficient tools available right now, tweaked to still be plenty fast. ###### AV1 is a relatively new codec. It *may* struggle on older devices in 1080p. ###### AV1 is superior in certain usecases, just like H.265 or VP9 are in others, or like H.264 and even XviD were at some point. I am merely taking advantage of this fact. I won't deny the superiority of other codec for other uses. Current AV1 encoders aren't quite tuned for high fidelity and fine detail retention, however its artefacts at low bitrates (mainly blur and loss of surface details) are much less noticeable than HEVC's, which usually appear in the form of blocking AND very poor motion clarity. ###### Helping the anime community to improve in certain area, where many people think it has been stagnant for years, is another one of my objectives. Accelerating the democratization of AV1 on anime trackers like nyaa can only be beneficial for everyone. That way people can learn what it is, why it matters, and how to use it effectively. It will help people understand where it struggles and should be avoided, but also recognize its strength. ###### To help the decoding experience, I will mainly release 720p content. However my goal is to switch entirely to 1080p low-sized releases at some point in late 2022 at the earliest or 2023, when adoption will have risen and our devices gotten even more powerful. At that point, hardware decoders should be democratized, and software decoding should be even faster than what it is right now, making it possible even for some older devices to play 1080p AV1 near flawlessly. #### **Better viewed on mobile devices or any screen under 16 inch. Over that, maybe you should get a higher quality 1080p release.** *** **Contain :** - 12 episodes **Video** : 720p AV1 10bits **Audio** : Japanese - 96kbps Opus 2.0 **Subtitle 1** : English Subtitles ([Source](https://nyaa.si/view/1085451)) **Subtitle 2** : Français (VOSTFR) ([Source](https://nyaa.si/view/1068401)) Thanks to the people involved in this release, including the sources. > **For the best experience on PC or any Android device, install preferably [MPV](https://iamscum.wordpress.com/guides/videoplayback-guide/ "MPV setup guide for PC"), or MPC-HC with the [K-Lite Codec Pack](http://www.codecguide.com/) (if your pc can handle it), or maybe [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ "VLC official website")** [Detailed compatibility list](https://gist.github.com/trixoniisama/82158fc48f7edb0db8338779a997dad0 "long and tedious, good luck") #### → TLDR: Any 4 cores 3rd gen Intel CPUs or AMD Zen ones or newer, any 8 cores phone CPU manufactured in 2017 or after won't have any playback issues. ← *** #### *► Please, seed to help sharing the torrent !* *** # **→ `Français`** #### Note : Mon objectif est de créer de meilleures *releases* de petite taille, en utilisant les outils les plus efficients du moment, modifiés de sorte à rester rapide. ###### Accélérer la démocratisation du codec AV1 sur des *trackers* comme nyaa ne peut être que bénéfique pour tout le monde. Ainsi, la populace pourra apprendre ce que c'est, son intérêt, comment l'utiliser efficacement,... Cela aidera cette même populace à comprendre où ce codec péche et doit être évité, mais aussi à reconnaître ses forces. ###### Pour aider à la lecture des fichiers, je sortirais principalement du contenu 720p. Néanmoins, je prévois de passer exclusivement au 1080p d'ici fin 2022 au plus tôt ou 2023, lorsque l'AV1 sera plus démocratisé et nos appareils devenus plus puissants et capables. *** **Contient :** une piste de sous-titre FR + une piste de sous-titre en anglais.
