Video filtering: Anti-Aliasing, Denoising, Debanding with Regraining. All scenefiltered.
Audio Note: Japanese track is FLAC from the JPBD, English track is AAC@256kbps from Funimation.
Subtitles received a ton of changes, at least by my subtitle editing standards lol. Detailed in the subtitle notes.

Used this project to tryout a few different methods of scenefiltering, then trying to get better and faster at it for future projects.
Skipped rescaling because the source is variable fractional resolution and I didn't feel like dealing with that. I was seeing 863.64p? and 872.35p? upscaled with Catrom? and maybe mixed-resolution assets, I didn't really spend much time investigating though, once I found variable resolution and rescaling working great in one cut of a scene and then causing haloing in the next, I just decided to go all in on AA for edge treatment.
I finished the video encoding in August, got sick then was busy, and couldn't do the work on the subtitles, was able to complete most of the work on the subs in October but got busy and then sick again... until December when I was able to finish the subs but decided to wait for the USBD in January for the lossless English audio and any potential video improvements. However, since I'm going to be busy again and I still haven't gotten access to a USBD rip I decided to just mux and upload it as is.
Thanks for doing this; looks like you took care of all the issues with Cat66's subs (at least that I noticed when watching UKW's release)
- few overlapping dialogue lines
- town and character spelling inconsistencies
