Wow, an AV1 release that's not 100 MiB per episode.

Wow, a commenter with tunnel vision. How mundane.

Keep being a clown.

@OpusMaxE ? [I rarely ever see an AV1 release uploaded](https://nyaa.si/?f=1&c=1_2&q=av1+1080) That isn't a ""mini encode"" (<400 MiB total file size or less imo) or weekly re-encodes, and I'm sure most people also see that ~~(This torrent being in the top 10 of the largest AV1 encodes also kind of proves my point)~~

@Simplistic check to see if they used butteraugli on their av1 encode. https://github.com/google/butteraugli Google says: "Butteraugli is a project that estimates the psychovisual similarity of two images. It gives a score for the images that is reliable in the domain of barely noticeable differences. Butteraugli not only gives a scalar score, but also computes a spatial map of the level of differences." This results in a huge payoff regarding file size to visual quality perception. Some encoders are willing to encode at 1-2fps just because butteraugli is THAT much worth it.

I'm not saying that the encodes are bad or anything, I'm just noticing how the average AV1 release is always tiny ***by comparison*** to normal HEVC and AVC encodes and how this one is more around the size of *what most people* (apparently) consider a "HEVC mini encode" *also based on your description this needs to be tagged as a remake*

Yeah, pretty good, that's what I'd expect at this file size

@Simplistic Sorry for being an asshat. It's just that we so often see comments which are trying to be edgy and push buttons.

np, it happens
