Have you tried their website?

May anyone provide me the link for downloading this? Thanks

Maybe if you prefer sacrificing a large amount of space to a bloated encode for peace of mind they are always going to be inferior to you, but for literally everyone else, I am sure (aka people who don't have OCD over pixel-peeping video quality) they would rather take the vastly more size-efficient and essentially identical looking re-encode

No problem, if I continue, I'll keep the "2007-09 FUNi “Remastered” Dub (Kikuchi Score)" audio as well as the "Songs/Titles/Signs/NEPs" subtitles since it seems you don't need the dubtitles.

The default audio/subs will remain Japanese though, you'll have to do the switch yourself 😅

Also, only for episode 4 onwards, the first 3 you can quickly grab the iKaos release and mux them through Mkvtoolnix or some other muxing tool (or just keep those Japanese if that person you live with doesn't mind) 🙏🏻

Re-encodes are always inferior, no need to test that. It's a fact.

USUALLY, yes. it's appreciated when uploaders do this, but there's no rule or requirement for them to do so.

and as they already said, they aren't trying to prove a point.

since you're the one making claims that this looks worse (which is a weird thing to say since you even admitted yourself you haven't even watched/looked at this release at all) then it's on you to provide comparisons to support your claim

Well, I have no problem downloading 50gb of anime if the encodes are good. Storage is cheap in where I live. maybe we just look for different things.

i have plenty of re-encodes that i would consider great quality, especially for their size. you'd expect some of these to look terrible given how small they are but they're actually indistinguishable from a bloated high-bitrate x264 encode of the same show

Any chance you'll start including "2007-09 FUNi “Remastered” Dub (Kikuchi Score)" and a signs track?

Not really a dub watcher myself, but live with one that I would love to share this with.

they ARE better, for example, if you are a sane individual and you think 40-50 GB for a 12-episode romcom is fucking ridiculous. that is insanely bloated and just not necessary at all.

i can also see the difference, but ONLY when i pixel-peep the original vs the re-encode. that is also probably because i am familiar with good re-encode groups that care about retaining visual fidelity.

if you're trying to claim that you can somehow spot these minor pixel differences while sitting back and casually watching and not actively comparing them, then you are either bullshitting, or you're just cherrypicking bad re-encode groups like ASW or Anime Time and generalizing all re-encodes to their standards (which are very low)

either that or you're basing your opinion off of illegal streaming sites which are almost always garbage

I'm not the one trying to prove a point.

You're saying that reencodes aren't of great quality and that it's worse than the encode it originated from.

Either prove it or be wrong in silence 🙄

It's usually the uploader who provides comparisons tho.

Again, comparisons? Else it's better if you'd stop commenting on things you don't know.

"Fortunately, my eyes can still see the difference."

1. You haven't seen this encode.
2. Still waiting on some comparisons proving it's worse.

Until then you can save everyone's time and stop talking about things you don't know & can't prove (or don't want to bother to prove which is the same thing).

I'm okay with people enjoying re-encodes but claming re-encodes are "great quality" is just wrong.

Fortunately, my eyes can still see the difference. You enjoy re-encodes and I enjoy non re-encodes. No problem with that. But claiming re-encodes better than actual good encodes is just wrong.

you can absolutely have a quality re-encode with little to no noticeable loss of visual fidelity. the only time you'd be able to spot a difference is if you had the original AND the re-encode in front of you to compare directly (slow.pics), and then zoomed in 400x and pixel-peeped

most of the people who act overly anal about this stuff are just regurgitating stuff they've read on thewiki.moe/seadex/whatever, which was made by a bunch of people with OCD

i can guarantee you if you sat them down and had them watch one of their fancy "seadex approved(tm)" bloat encodes and a good, smaller re-encode of that same show, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference. with a lot of the comparisons they post, you have to zoom in like 400x to even tell that some pixels are SLIGHTLY different.

i used to be that way for a while when i first learned about torrenting anime, but eventually i realized it's really not worth the significantly more space for what is ultimately very little improvement. i prioritize a good AV1 release now as it both looks great AND is really small. it's nice to not be so hung up on that shit anymore

Exactly, not every "encodes" are bad to be used as a source for filtering.. it really depends, but Ikaos are pretty safe to use.
Anyways, I've stopped trying to make them understand, maybe you'll have better luck lol

>Re-encodes
>Quality

Pick one.

you can know how to encode and still use a pre-existing filtered encode as a source. an AV1 re-encode of a properly filtered, high quality encode will look better than if you just used the raw BDMV

Clearly I don't care about quality? Well at least I watch the things I complain about unlike some others who just make assumptions on what they read 🙋🏻‍♂️

Well clearly you don't care about quality and yet you're claiming your releases are great. it's weird

Yeah OK 🙋🏻‍♂️

Is this Nyaa? No? Then why would I care?

^^ my man it's you who doesn't know what uou're talking about.

Yeah well your comment is useless since you haven't even watched the encode. Stop talking about stuff you don't know or haven't watched.

I gave up I was hoping you'd understand. Your encodes sucks because you simply encoded another encodes. Phew. If you can't understand that then you're not a (good) encoder.

Here's a simple diagram:
SCY : Source -> Encodes (Good)
You : Source -> Ikaos' Encodes -> Your encodes (not good)

If you upload this torrent on Nyaa, your torrent will be marked as remake (red).

As an encoder, I can safely say that it depends on the source.

I'd agree if the source was an HEVC encode from a WEB source for example. Ikaos's release is far from that.

In any case, the encoder's choice for is the encoders choice, just like viewers can choose the encode they want to watch. At least, be able to justify your comments tho.

no problem, but I think you need to find out why encoders usually doesn't encode from another encodes.

Thank you for proving my point, useless comment as I thought.

yeah, I don't need to check the quality of re-encodes. it's pretty self-explanatory.

scy's aot descales are wrong btw

What can't your small chicken brain understand in what I said?

Everything you can get, whether it's Web-DL or Web-RIP are ENCODES.
Only production files can be called "source", and surprise, you can't have them.
Also SCY was just an example, where did I compare myself to them?

"It's okay if you think your releases are great but that doesn't mean everyone has to agree with you."
=> Sure, but then prove your point if you're going to comment? I'm guessing that you haven't even watched it, and simply complained about it being an encode of an already encoded and filtered source. Okay, sure, but have you got anything to say at all about the video itself? If you do, feel free to share your opinion and preferably with comparisons & argumentation, else (I'll say it again), you should avoid talking about things you don't know anything about (and clearly haven't even watched).

Thumbs up.

if you can't tell the difference between web-dl and webrips, you're in no position to give lecture about encodes in general. SCY uses web-dl (source) to encode not from another encodes like u. Also, u're nowhere near SCY level so please don't use them as comparison. sorry. it's okay if you think your releases are great but that doesn't mean everyone has to agree with you.

That, or I often share a "single file" download link, like in this release (first comment) :
==> https://big.fileditchstuff.me/b47/LehK...LkrvAA.mkv

look in FAQ under "Common Technical Issues, How do I join multi-part (.001, .002 etc) files?"

How can i play two parts video files

Thank you for subs

Tell me if I'm wrong, but the great SCY released Attack on Titan back in the days, from a WEB source : https://nyaa.si/view/1361264
Then, would you say about SCY that he doesn't know shit about encoding/filtering?

After all, "WEB" are all encodes from the distributors, so what..?
Shame on SCY for reencoding and filtering an already encoded source?

You should probably avoid commenting about stuff you don't know shit about.

If I believed that Ikaos's release wouldn't end up great or that my work would deteriorate DBZ's episodes, I would've used another source or wouldn't have released those experiments.

people who knows about encoding usually encode from the source (bdmv, bdremux, web-dl) not from encodes.

still consistent

No worries, I'm able to pick releases and Ikaos did great with his encode/filtering.
That being said, i thought I could do some more, and I did.
I believe my release is even better than the original, while maintaining quality at its peak.

Rather than my release, you should worry about mini-encodes.
Did you know that when the episode is received by CR/AMZN/NF, they immediately encode them before releasing it on their website? :O

SHOCK! You should go complain about mini-encodes that are encoding already encoded rips into much shittier encodes :O
Quick, quick! You have work to do!

:')

Re-enoded and filtered an already filtered encode...
