Teenager Sawamura Setsu's grandfather who raised him and his older brother Wakana, recently passed away. His grandfather was one of the greatest Shamisen players and the two siblings grew up listening to him play and learning to play the instrument. Since the grandfather's death, Setsu dropped out of high school, moved to Tokyo and has been drifting, not knowing what to do besides play his Shamisen. That's when his successful and rich mother, Umeko storms into his life and tries to shape Setsu up. She enrolls him back into high school but little does Setsu know that he is about to rediscover his passion for Shamisen. ## Contents | | Season 1 | | :-- | :-- | | **Video** | 1080p AV1 10-bit | | **Audio #1** | **Japanese** Opus 2.0 128 kbps | | **Audio #2** | **Japanese Commentary** Opus 2.0 64 kbps _(Episodes 3, 6, 9, 11)_ | || | **Subtitles** | | || | **English** | ```ASS``` [[GHS]](https://nyaa.si/view/1400080) _(Modified - see notes below)_ | | **Arabic** | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://subdl.com/s/info/MKWZ2RDeTl/mashiro-no-oto-those-snow-white-notes) | | **Chinese** (Simplified & Traditional) | ```SRT``` [[DBD-Raws]](https://nyaa.si/view/1947202) | | **Chinese** (Traditional) | ```ASS``` [[Suzu-Kaze]](https://nyaa.si/view/1432369) | | **French** | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=Mashiro+no+Oto+erai) | | **German** | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=Mashiro+no+Oto+erai) _(Missing for episode 11)_ | | **Indonesian** | ```ASS``` [[Kusonime]](https://kusonime.com/mashiro-oto-batch-sub-indo) | | **Italian** | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=Mashiro+no+Oto+erai) | | **Japanese** _(SDH)_ | ```SRT``` [[Amazon]](https://jimaku.cc/entry/953) | | **Persian** | ```ASS``` [[DanySalehi]](https://subdl.com/s/info/YvuCubTDOd/mashiro-no-oto-those-snow-white-notes) | | **Portuguese** (Brazil) | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=Mashiro+no+Oto+erai) | | **Russian** | ```ASS``` [[sovetromantica]](https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6083040) | | **Spanish** (Latin America) | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=Mashiro+no+Oto+erai) _(Missing for episodes 8 and 10)_ | | **Spanish** (Spain) | ```ASS``` [[CR]](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=Mashiro+no+Oto+erai) _(Missing for episode 10)_ | | **Vietnamese** | ```SRT``` [[HLouis]](https://nyaa.si/view/1402288) | | | | **Chapters** | ✅ | | **Covers** | ✅ | **Notes on subtitles:** - Modifications done to the **English [GHS]** subtitles: - **EP 04:** _Fixed:_ **(1)** Line 702 (Tanukichi Diner) - Sign is misaligned; **(2)** Lines 705-758 (Help yourself) - Sign is invisible because it's not in the clip region. - **EP 05:** _Fixed:_ Lines 3271, 3272 (Karaoke) - Sign is misaligned. - **EP 08:** Lines 1-66 (Matsugorou Cup) - Uncommented the sign. - **EP 11:** _Fixed:_ All dialogue lines are commented-out. - Added the missing fonts. - **Why are those subtitles missing?** Because Erai-raws didn't have them. - All subtitles have been checked, and, if necessary, timed to make sure at least the dialogue is in sync with the audio. For languages other than English, I don’t guarantee frame-perfect sign sync, though. - All ASS subtitles have been resampled, if necessary. - All of the fonts (except those for English subtitles) are [subset](https://github.com/wyzdwdz/assfonts) in order to save space, meaning they contain only the glyphs that are used. ## Sources **Video, audio, commentary, and chapters (renamed):** [JPBDMV](https://nyaa.si/view/1943740) **Covers:** [TheMovieDB](https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/d9EXXAF9hw0CMRsCxP8khyyA975.jpg) → [reduced JPEG artifacts](https://slow.pics/c/C7AmNjKl) ([JPG (80-100%)](https://openmodeldb.info/models/1x-JPG-80-100)), TheTVDB & stills from the episodes ## Encoding | Type | Tool | Settings | | :-- | :-- | :-- | | **Video** - Filtering | **[VapourSynth](https://www.vapoursynth.com)** | [grain, denoise, deband](https://bin.disroot.org/?1438a8e3c64b203f#HaKWKCBGrxCbHqqD4qPPzkWcBQzt48M1xwQF1fUUVoih) | | **Video** - AV1 | [**SVT-AV1-HDR** v3.1.3-20c88a7c](https://github.com/Akatmks/svt-av1-psy-quality/releases) + **[Av1an](https://github.com/rust-av/Av1an)** + [**Progression Boost** Max-Character-Butteraugli](https://github.com/Akatmks/Akatsumekusa-Encoding-Scripts/blob/6f4be81b6a6d0555acf7e2137abb60d89ba70555/Progression-Boost/Progression-Boost.py) + **[Grav1synth](https://github.com/rust-av/grav1synth)** | ```--crf 11 --preset 2 --tune 0 --ac-bias 2 --tx-bias 2 --complex-hvs 1 --enable-restoration 0 --enable-cdef 0 --noise-norm-strength 3 --max-tx-size 32 --tf-strength 1 --luminance-qp-bias 80 --qp-scale-compress-strength 2 --qm-min 12 --qm-max 15 --chroma-qm-min 12 --chroma-qm-max 15 --enable-variance-boost 1 --variance-boost-strength 2 --variance-octile 4 --hbd-mds 1``` w/ _Progression Boost metric disabled_ + FGS: ```--iso 800``` | | **Audio** - Opus | [**opusenc** 0.2-37-g5f83943-dirty](https://github.com/Chocobo1/opus-tools_win32-build) (**libopus** v1.6) | ```--bitrate 128``` / ```--bitrate 64``` | ## Playback It is highly recommended to watch any AV1 release with an up-to-date media player. I personally recommend the **[mpv media player](https://thewiki.moe/tutorials/mpv)**, but [MPC-HC](https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases) or [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc) also support AV1 playback. ___ | Comparisons / Screenshots | MediaInfo | Direct Download | | :--: | :--: | :--: | | [JPBD (29.0 Mb/s) (source) vs. JPBD (mpv deband) vs. RigAV1 (6 543 kb/s) (encode) vs. CR (8 000 kb/s) vs. CR (mpv deband)](https://slow.pics/c/tR6pF9RN) | [EP 01](https://bin.disroot.org/?5ff9b2a0e136e6bb#BYr1BzqHM1X195XeQz4EkorbiehtQFSUXRJCH32juRhM) | [Anime Tosho](https://animetosho.org/search?q=rigav1) w/ attachments | ___
