Yes it does, it's the second Japanese track. When I went to check out the audio there are 2 Japanese tracks.
One has no audio, the other one has full audio. It's not intuitive to find, but it WAS included.

I understand, but I compared this and
https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/view/judas-kime...p.n1840036

I didn't see that much of a difference on my 13" laptop. So between the mini-encoders whoever puts out a release will be welcome in my eyes, and space saving above all else!

Judas didn't encode the show

The fact that at one point judas' encoders were able to beat unfiltered copy-paste settings encodes just shows how far they've fallen

Seems the obvious point flew over your head if you felt it required pointing out the obvious.

>iAHD, moozzi2, lowpower, Reinforce
lowest hanging fruit

Unless you are watching on a large screen 40"+ you won't really see much difference in the mini encodes. Most that come here are watching on their phone or a laptop. Especially with those that watch on their phone file size matters and a lot of people don't have a lot of storage space on their laptop. They are the type that watch once, maybe twice and delete. Those that want to archive usually go for the larger files.

Thanks for all the comparisons!
I guess I'm not super picky because unless I put my face to the screen I can't really tell the difference between a lot of these pictures. So, I'm very happy with the amount of options we have!
DKB, DB, Ember, ASW (I didn't see Judas on here but I'm sure it would be similar), AV1, and obviously the sources are great, so whoever has the best size and is most complete will be fine -- at least for me.

Best would be to watch the original, I was just giving an alternative that is "less" in size, but sufficient in "quality" ^^"
I can't recommend any of the minis tbh so yeah, Erai has my preference even if it's not perfect in any way :x

Erai uses a destructive sharpening filter with default x265 settings on their encodes, which is far from ideal https://slow.pics/c/tcn0111k

What a horrible opening theme song

Mini-encodes are automated because they don't care about quality, they care about speed/size.

1st time watching : Go for the maximum quality (original rip by Erai/Subsplease & co, or a quality-oriented encode a few hours later).
2nd time watching and more (saved on local storage) : Go for mini-encodes for storage capacity purposes.

At least give yourself the chance to enjoy the anime you're watching at full quality once so the experience is at its best.

As for sources, I'd go for Erai-Raws's HEVC encode, they've got a good balance between quality and size (not too screwed, but not too big).
But make your own preferences, try a few and see what you enjoy most.

They can't get the attachments without downloading the actual files... Get real.

I have no idea as I don't download files with dOpus as an audio file.

What's wrong with the font size? It's small on MPC

If you need attachments, I think the MiniMTBB uses the same attachments. You can grab them here https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/search?q=minimtbb shingeki

I know the files are big. But can you just fetch for attachments purposes, if possible?

So who is left that you can (generally) rely on? Is anyone left that is not automated and decent quality?

Rent a seedbox would be better for you.

There were other mini groups that filtered before Judas and they didn't use handbrake, I should know because I was one of them.

I doubt you could actually see anything with a blindfold on, retard.

Ember's biggest problem isn't even to do with their video quality... It's like there's never a human involved with the releases because it's always so sloppy and releases often have muxing issues and they never get fixed.

Just recently they encoded Heron via an HDR source but they encoded it to SDR without tonemapping and have not bothered to correct or even acknowledge the issues. Other times it's very often confirmed they forgot to mux fonts, incorrectly tag tracks which break automation of language settings, and things like Demon Slayer where they're confused about what season they're even doing.

Most of these are simple things that a quick glance by a human could catch and correct, but they're seemingly disinterested.

I doubt you could tell who is who on an A/B blindfold test.

Judas use to be the only mini-encode group that filtered. Most others used to all be handbrake automation. So while Judas has became just another automated group and lost what made them one of the best mini groups at one point often times beating non-minis like iAHD, moozzi2, lowpower, Reinforce, etc... that simply isn't the case now. But to pretend there was never a time things were different is false.

Exactly, the file size is way to big for the very small amount of people that need DDL.
They should get a cheap VPN or a cheap seedbox.

Judas was never special. All I said Judas was a little bit better in terms of encoding minis. But seriously consider getting your eyes checked if you think EMBER encodes are fine.

I don't think it's going to happen because they will take up too much AT resources.

Maybe you should get yours checked or actually do a blindfold test. Judas is not "special".

If you can't then maybe it's time to get your eyes checked. no offense.

I've found no real difference between Judas and any of the other mini groups. Judas isn't anything "special".

For torrent this big, you better rent a seedbox, start the torrent and leave it. But it's torrent from 2023 so *fingers crossed*

I can't download this the seeds are so low

I can't seem to find their weekly releases here? I was about to suggest you get the subs from there.

yeah mini encodes aren't exactly known for "quality" releases. Judas at least better than any other mini encoders that I know of. But if you like EMBER or any other group. More power to you.

Everything by ember is automated and has no QC. They didn't forget, they just don't care

Mini-encodes will always be a "speed/size" choice, but never a "quality" choice... that being said, checking your file before sharing it is a must.

Maybe EMBER just forgot this time, it happens..

Okay. I see. Thanks for the reply.

Only way to grab something from the files is to grab the files themselves to be able to extract it.

is it possible to just grab the sub files? The video CR, is already on here.

At that point looking for "quality" you have removed most of the groups here, including Judas, Cleo and the other mini-encoders.  

well, it's EMBER. Better skip EMBER if you want "quality" releases. No offense.

As a former encoder/releaser I understand the release ASAP aspect. Sometimes I've looked back at my releases and found some things I could have done better but missed because I was in a rush and being a one man show I missed it.
I do smile a bit looking back and seeing my 5-6 year old releases are still seeded.

They used CR's video with AMZN's audio, except that the Taisho-Era Secret part is not included on the AMZN version, so it obviously has no sound :/
I guess that, as mini encoders, they're more interested in releasing ASAP without necessarily checking what they're giving away.

The Taisho-era Secret part at the end has no sound.

My pleasure, hope you liked it! ^^

Check the opening animation, that should be full 16:9.
Other releases are similar, may be productional/artistic choice.
Btw, I did not even notice this while watching, while I usually notice cuts in height.
