This movie is a great demonstration of the power of a proper descale -> waifu2x cunet double. You can see that the chroma is more blurry in the bad JPBD scenes, so I figured an edgemask would be correspondingly weaker, and that method seems to have worked pretty reliably.Īnother aspect of this encode is the fractional rescale. The chroma replacement was handled automatically, with scenes alternating between the JP and GER BDs depending on which source had stronger edgemasks for chroma. But the German Blu-Ray has all kinds of artifacting in high-motion scenes, so it normally was not worth it to use it for luma.

(The Italian Blu-Ray was a copy of the JPBD.) This was principally used to replace the chroma in many scenes, with MTBB having better colors than the JPBD in comps 03-06 below, for example.

This movie, too, is affected by Aniplex's shenanigans, so the German Blu-Ray was used as an alternate source. The only way to fix this is to use an alternate source like Crunchyroll (which doesn't always work that well because the scenes with this damage often have a high bitrate) or a non-US, non-JP Blu-Ray. Though it doesn't seem like the Monogatari series has been affected, high-profile shows like (), (), Promare, Haruhi, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Fullmetal Alchemist, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Fate/Zero, Fate Stay/Night: UBW, Fate literally/everything/else, the Shirobako movie, Ascendance of a Bookworm, Soul Eater, and Steins Gate contain scenes where the quality has been reduced for no good reason, particularly the first three anime in the list. It turns out that Aniplex, a major anime publisher, has been intentionally sabotaging the quality of many of its Blu-Rays for more than a decade. Set your media player to play “enm” language tracks by default to automatically play honorifics tracks.

There is an alternate honorifics track in this release.
