Futari wa Precure is an interesting show. An encoder looking to do the series has the following sources available:
It seems to me that the best way to encode this show is to use DVD and replace with Amazon (and probably Blu-Ray where available) in scenes where the MPEG2 artifacting is likely to become unbearable. I wrote something to detect scenes in which Amazon was above a particular bitrate and splice it in. I also kinda-sorta dealt with the chroma problems—you’ll see that they are much improved over DVD but still far worse than Amazon. Using the chroma from Amazon and the luma from DVD is not realistic due to frames failing to line up… but now that I think about it, maybe using the chroma from TVer would be?
Anyway, here’s some comparisons.
There was no point in comparing to [M-L-Stuffs], since that was just Amazon but significantly worse.
I don’t have any plans to encode the rest of this.

If you decide to do the rest of the show, I’ll make a strong push with the team to use your encodes. Failing that, I’d scrap my plans to sync our subs to Amazon and sync them to your raws instead.
Only a possibility for the first ten episodes since their release was a weird anniversary thing that stopped at 10. What’s ripped is what there is.

I don’t mind encoding the rest if you all commit to using them. Hit me up on Discord if you want to discuss further. Also, it would be nice to get an encode script for the NCs if there is one available.

Will let you know once everyone’s around to confirm, and will ask about the NCs. Thanks!

Why was the bleach okay-raws release deleted

Because I’m redoing all those encodes AGAIN because vapoursynth tivtc is SHIT.
