Another day, another stupid mistake…
V2:
Copied EP24 out of the wrong folder.
Now it actually includes the subtitles and the english audio.
Sorry and thank you @DmonHiro for telling me.
The rest of the files are the same.
Information:
There are so called ‘BluRays’ of this floating on the internet, like the QTS release.
But in fact all of them are 480i, so I frankly do not know how QTS got 720p video. :shrug:
That being said, I encoded from the newest SDBD, which had a little better line-art than the DVDs.
VFR video encoded as such; video filters include: QTGMC, cropping, degrain, debanding and adaptive_grain.
The lossless japanese audio has been encoded to opus, and the english audio highly edited to fix the sync issues.
Subtitles:
About EP1-9, I know there is a fansub from Shinsen-Subs, but just during the first 5 minutes it had mistakes like: “one” instead of “eleven”. (checked using the eng-dub)
So instead of OCRing, I took the subtitles for EP1 up to EP9 from Exiled-Destiny (srt).
The rest of the subtitles are from Nyanko and ACX.
All of the subtitles are heavily retimed, edited and restyled.
Anime is recommended by the way. The voice lines are too short for the animation, but it’s still very enjoyable.
Chapters are from the BDMV.
Stereo jpn audio encoded with 256kbit/s.

I’ve included two scripts. You can either deactivate the english-audio and sign&songs subs, or completely remove them. Please read-me.txt
Many thanks to Anonymous, Nyanko and Exiled-Destiny for making this possible.
If you find anything that seems out of the ordinary, just post a comment or in my discord and I’ll take a look at it.

Ah, yes… the curse of the upload. You make sure everything is perfect, you check everything 10 times, and then you upload. And then you realize you forgot something… Been there.
sandoe41
I’ve done that too. Also, Handbrake let’s you upscale videos, I’ve done that as well with a few select DVD releases.
ThatWaxEllo (uploader)
@???
I don’t really understand why people would upscale videos.
Simply resizing doesn’t give you more details and ends up being just the same amount of visual content, but possibly with upscaling artifacts and a bigger file size.
AI upscales may add new content, but that’s not what the artist intended the anime to look like.
Is there any good reason to do it?
Btw, it’s also against nyaa’s rules, so you probably shouldn’t admit to it, if your account is worth anything to you.
Or clarify that those releases aren’t uploaded on here.
DmonHiro
On a computer there’s no real reason to upscale. If you want to sell them as a BD though, come companies prefer to to an upscaling. I have no idea why though, they are usually terrible. The worst are from a company called Q-Tec. If you see their logo on a bluray, it belongs straight in the trash.
sandoe41
Nyaa does allow DVD [or BD with 480p encode] upscaling to 575p, and I have only one of my few DVD shows on here. Sorry about my confusing word choice.
ThatWaxEllo (uploader)
@Sandoe41
I think the limit is set to 575p, because that’s the resolution for PAL while NTSC is 480i (commonly).
Although it’s allowed, I don’t think it was the goal when compiling the rules.
@DmonHiro
I wanted to encode the Haruhi Suzumiya Series and holy shit does that BluRay look awful.
AI upscaling is a terrible practice no matter who you are, and simply resizing to higher resolutions and marking it as a BluRay, seems more like someone’s trying to sell / “farm downloads”.
cosmic
the only upscaling technology i’ve seen that actually looks good is AstroRes. discotek’s BD of digimon uses it and they actually put effort into that instead of just slapping a waifu2x filter over the video and calling it a day like most BD upscales
before they located the masters for Project A-ko they were using AstroRes for it and even that looked almost indistinguishable from an actual HD re-scan

@cosmic
Thanks for the great insight. I’ve come across a few of Discotek’s BluRays and they cannot be compared to absolutely anything else. Outstanding work they’re doing.
Glad that at least some companies care about quality.
DmonHiro
@cosmic: Using waifu2x would would actually still be better then whatever the hell Q-TEC does. They manage to somehow smear the colors while also distorting the lines. It’s amazing.
type143
this brings back old memories, cant believe its almost 20 years now
Jollilot
How about some seeders?
ThatWaxEllo (uploader)
@Jollilot
I am constantly seeding my uploads. Are you connectable? Maybe you don’t have port-forwarding enabled.
Jollilot
Ah… I am using motel wi-fi. Well I found the DLL on Discord.
ThatWaxEllo (uploader)
Please seed if possible.
zetsu_shoren
people should really stop using hevc
i don’t know why everybody literally ignores the fact that hevc blots out any detail in low brightness areas
it’s awful, it smooths everything out, even the wrinkles in encoders’ brains
zetsu_shoren
p.s.
QTS’s rips look way better than yours
ThatWaxEllo (uploader)
@zetsu_shoren:
So just because something looks “better” doesn’t mean it actually is better.
The QTS release is tagged with BD. At the time of my release, there was (and still is) only one available Blu-Ray out there. The german one. If this amazon review can be trusted, it’s only a BDSD, which means that the video is identical to the one from the DVD.
Therefore I draw the conclusion that the QTS release is upscaled, with or without AI, I don’t really care. Upscaling never makes sense, except for very low resolutions.
Additionally, QTS didn’t correctly transfer the bt.601 colormatrix to the bt.709 one, which means that all the colors are very obviously wrong.
