I noticed some serious loss of detail in my Softenni encode the other day and because I can’t be bothered to find the BDVMs to do a good reencode I decided to make a v2 by remuxing with Yousei raws. The file size is a bit rickdickulous so I’ll leave the old version up for people who have space concerns. Anyways, here’s the scene with the issues I mentioned before and here’s a couple more comparisons between my encode and the raw.

Screenshots (note: due to laziness these are the same ones used in the comparisons above)

Series summary (from aniDB):

Quote:

* Based on a manga by Azuchi Ryou, serialised in Monthly Comic Blade.

The five spirited middle school girls of the Shiratama Middle School Soft Tennis Team have high hopes in winning tournaments and making it into the nationals.

There is the energetic, always enthusiastic klutz Harukaze Asuna, the strict Sawanatsu Kotone, very skilled in Karate, scares easily, but has a decidedly violent streak, the busty air-headed glutton Akiyama Chitose, captain of the team but actually the least skilled, the sporty, tanned Fuyukawa Kurusu, a soft tennis ace, who loves to wear strange masks and scare Kotone, and finally the blond-haired exchange student from the UK, Elizabeth Warren, a gifted “real” tennis player with a crush on sensei.

Together with Mishimagi You, a former tennis prodigy as teacher and coach, the team’s high goals might well be attainable. But will the quirky personalities of these girls be an asset or a hindrance in this endeavour?

Corollary: Rizlim did, in fact, do a 1080p release. I don’t feel like downloading the whole series but sometime tomorrow I will get a couple comparisons up (probably episode 3 and one of the specials).

Switched from uTorrent to Vuze. Seeding is still slow but at least it’s happening.
