This is not the hallmark of AV1, but close enough. This release should only contain changes to the video stream and audio tracks. The subtitle and attachment tracks are usually copied from the noted sources. Timings are not adjusted except in cases of extreme delay as a result of mixing sources. - `SavI0r` ### [**Comparisons**](https://slow.pics/c/TxKTeJOO "S01E01") The header above links to the comparison between the [JPBD][source-cunny], the rescaled JPBD, our [SavI0r][source-savi-hevc] HEVC release, our larger [SavI0r-Pro][source-savi-pro] AV1 release, our resulting AV1, and the closest HEVC mini from [OTR][source-hevc]. Below are a few of the comparisons between the [JPBD][source-cunny], [OTR][source-hevc], and this release. [JPBD][source-cunny] | [HEVC][source-hevc] | AV1 :-: | :-: | :-: [](https://i.slow.pics/MskryzDw.webp) | [](https://i.slow.pics/G5b0semK.webp) | [](https://i.slow.pics/YE25lnGN.webp) [](https://i.slow.pics/GAIxHHok.webp) | [](https://i.slow.pics/wmbRgyYb.webp) | [](https://i.slow.pics/371EXBX0.webp) [](https://i.slow.pics/zIOrntWo.webp) | [](https://i.slow.pics/GnptoYBk.webp) | [](https://i.slow.pics/ioBKR2vm.webp) **Statistical Image Comparison Analysis**: We measured the SSIMULACRA2 score for every frame in S01E01 and then plotted them into a histogram for some rudimentary statistical analysis. We also included a line graph showing the average score for each scene. Those can be accessed [here](https://imgur.com/a/iJuteGC "Kubikiri Cycle: Aoiro Savant to Zaregotozukai S01E01 SICA") and viewed below. Note that the scenes with excessive noise in the source never score well in SSIMULACRA2. The scenes in the ending demonstrate the extreme optimizations developed for this particular release in order to curtail bitrate. Without developing those optimizations, most of those ending scenes would be ~30mb each, resulting in a file twice as large. You can see comparisons of some of these scenes (19-22) linked above.  |  --- | --- ![AV1 Logo][av1-logo] ### Source Thanks to the following sources: * ![Nyaa][nyaa-logo] [Cunnysseur][source-cunny]: Video, Audio, Subtitle, Chapter * ![Nyaa][nyaa-logo] [Hakoniwa][source-hakoniwa] - ES-LA Subtitle * ![Nyaa][nyaa-logo] [Yarashii][source-yarashii] - FR Subtitle * ![Nyaa][nyaa-logo] [TnS][source-tns] - IT Subtitle * [anti-raws][source-anti] - Audio, RU Subtitle ### [**Media Info**](https://rentry.co/fmrsvzi8 "S01E07 Media Info") [mal-logo]: https://i.imgur.com/ZCtSawZ.png "My Anime List" [tvdb-logo]: https://i.imgur.com/dDhSn59.jpeg "The TVDB" [nyaa-logo]: https://i.imgur.com/7o97aB0.png "Nyaa" [av1-logo]: https://aomedia.org/assets/images/home-av1-500x200.png [cover]: https://safebooru.org//images/644/bdfd40dfe6b812742cd86679ee3ec56846ef509b.png "Zaregoto" [source-cunny]: https://nyaa.si/view/1897476 "[Cunnysseur] The Kubikiri Cycle [BD Remux 1080p AVC FLAC] | Kubikiri Cycle: Aoiro Savant to Zaregototsukai" [source-hakoniwa]: https://nyaa.si/view/982518 "[Hakoniwa] Kubikiri Cycle: Aoiro Savant to Zaregoto Tsukai - 1-8" [source-yarashii]: https://nyaa.si/view/992697 "[Yarashii] Kubikiri Cycle INTÉGRALE (Zaregoto) VOSTFR (BDRip 1920x1080 x264 AAC 10 bits)" [source-tns]: https://nyaa.si/view/1316077 "[TnS] Kubikiri Cycle - Aoiro Savant to Zaregototsukai 01-08 [SUB ITA][BD 1080p H.265 Main10p FLAC MKV]" [source-anti]: https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5376061 "Зарэгото: Обезглавливающий цикл: синий савант и повелитель бессмыслиц / Kubikiri Cycle: Aoiro Savant to Zaregotozukai / Zaregoto (Симбо Акиюки) [OVA] [8 из 8] [JAP+Sub] [2016, приключения, BDRemux] [1080p]" [source-hevc]: https://nyaa.si/view/973546 "[OTR] Kubikiri Cycle ~Aoiro Savant to Zaregoto Tsukai~ 01 - 08 (BDRip 1080p x265 10bit AAC)" [source-savi-hevc]: https://nyaa.si/view/1908416 "[SavI0r] Kubikiri Cycle Aoiro Savant to Zaregotozukai [BD][1080p][HEVC][FLAC] (Zaregoto Tsukai | Beheading Cycle)" [source-savi-pro]: https://nyaa.si/view/0 "[SavI0r-Pro] Kubikiri Cycle Aoiro Savant to Zaregotozukai - S01E01 - Day 3 (1) The Savant Gathering [BD][1080p][AV1][OPUS]"
