I've added an .onion address. Don't know how well it'll be in the long run, so no promises that it'll stay at this stage.

Russia thinking they are fooling the world and attacking Ukraine for racism is laughable. The war is for resources period. Until recently Russian racist hate crimes were out of control. World media and political pressure led to harsher policing against hate crimes which led to a huge decrease but Russians calling out another country for racism is outright stupidity.

As far as donating any money sent in to Russia would go straight to the government not to the people. After that ex kgb agent stated "Every US citizen detained by Russia gives the Kremlin an asset that you can trade" you wont get many if any donations. Blame our own government.
Go to "Source Links ●Nyaa" at the top of this page.
There you will see "Optional Audio - English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish - Download here" (another torrent).
The audio torrent does not seem to provide any DDL, if you have problem with torrents, but the uploader did provide some times when asked.
how to download optional audio?
is it english?
that kind of thing happens to a lot of guys
Sometimes it happened to subplease release, ended early few seconds, does anyone know why?

Seems like (Hylozoic) is still in the closet talking about gays like that.
Usually when a person focuses on a certain group of people they usually are fascinated with them or want to be just like them.
Thanks for the anecdote!
I'm sure the recall cost them somewhat, which goes to show that they can be financially hurt by not caring about quality (even if the buyer had to foot part of the bill), not to mention the negative PR.
instead you'll just keep sliding that goal post in whatever way
Actually you originally said "100% of blu-rays from funimation", and now you're saying "100% of every disc by funimation I or any other encoder I've associated with". Who's the one sliding the goal posts here?

You're free to have your opinion on quality, and others are free to disagree with you.
Criticism/debate is fine, but keep things civil please - there's no need for hostilities or disparaging remarks.

(I have no qualms over the second half of your comment above)

Help Russia how? The regime, or millions of desperate, sad Russians living in a slow helll?
Considering 100% of every disc by funimation I or any other encoder I've associated with has come across in all the years of dealing with them has had it, it is most certainly a safe bet to say that any that doesn't would be the rare outlier rather than the other way around. You're free to go find that rarity and prove me wrong if you wish, there are dozens of us bdmv providers and fansubbers who'd love to see it. But sure, instead you'll just keep sliding that goal post in whatever way you wish rather than accepting the L you jumped into.

Regardless, the original point stands that iAHD is an unfiltered default setting handbrake encode of the USBD with pgs subtitles. No amount of bickering is going to change that fact.

scoot's web encode is better quality too. not that it's iAHDs fault, as the USBD itself looses out to begin with which has been becoming more and more common a thing these days (that blurays are losing out to a good web encode, especially since lowpassing blurays seems so prevalent).
Your previous claim was "100%" and now you talk about what you've "come across". "100%" is quite a strong claim - have you investigated 100% of such releases? If not, you can't claim 100%.

You yourself mention that things could be different here. And what matters here is this release, not the tens/hundreds/thousands of other releases you've come across.
I've actually on numerous occasions requested refunds on USBDs through Rightstuf (rip) and gotten them accepted by showcasing the quality difference between regional discs. Basically was able to obtain them, rip them for the audio to put on JPBD video, and then return them and get my money back because they never lived up to the JPBD counterpart.

In the case of ReZero, they got enough backlash on the quality dip that funimation actually recalled them (though at the expense of the buyer paying the return shipping which imo was pretty bad). Still not sure what happened there but the quality was extremely below the usual bar set for usbds and vastly lower quality than the crunchyroll stream of the show. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/...cs/.143006
This is common knowledge amongst all encoders and bdmv sharers in the anime scene. I've never come across one that didn't have the gamma bug which results in the frames looking brighter or whitewashed. All you got to do is compare the Funimation discs to any of the web-dl's or JPBD in comparison. If you really want to go down this rabbit hole, look at any comparisons on slow.pics or bakabt comparison sites which include both the USBD and JPBD in the cases where the USBD was by Funimation.

No idea if things have changed with new USBDs under the Crunchyroll brand, but under the Funimation brand, every single disc I've looked at in the past decade has had this issue and I've looked at a great many of them.

At least adjusting the gamma a bit is a fairly simple fix if you really wish to encode the USBD. Unlike with Viz Media where they have on more than one occasion released USBDs in the wrong colorspace and detelecined progressive video... which royally screwed up colors and deleted frames.
100% of blu-rays from funimation suffer from the gamma adjustment
Source?
"Don't care" sounds way too dismissive. I'm sure they do care, but perhaps not as much as you'd like.
Regardless, the quality is sufficient for people to be willing to pay for it. If the quality was too poor, people either wouldn't buy, or would import from a different region. In other words, the distributor has a financial incentive to ensure a reasonable level of quality.
Or it could be that your standard is much higher than the majority of folk out there. Or it could be that what is quality to you, differs from everyone else.

Quality is a subjective concept after all, and people can have varying opinions on it.
100% of blu-rays from funimation suffer from the gamma adjustment, so it's not a "faulty generalization".
Most US publishers don't care about the quality of their products, they just want to milk consoomers dry
the rape is clear as day
it's obviously lower quality than a remux, what the fuck are you yapping about
it's implied that iAHD doesn't customize settings in Handbrake to optimize quality and instead just runs with the default.
Automated submissions aren't customizing settings either.
Assuming your statement is true, defaults also tend to be a sensible choice in some context. They may not be your choice, but they make sense for someone.

they encode the lesser quality USBD video source which usually has messed up gamma
It looks like you're making an argument from generalization. For this to actually have meaning, you need to show it to be relevant to this particular case.

It's also worth pointing out that the USBD has sufficient quality to be marketed and sold to a US audience. This doesn't mean the quality is high, just that it's high enough that people are willing to pay for it.
episode 46 ? not episode 26 ?
