From sam:
> My encode of the 2008 JPBD (not the Macross F Zentora Sakari "remastered" edition) with AOGM subtitles from the Coalgirls release. Fixed dirty lines, rescaled, denoise, aa, deband, grain. Restyled dialogue, fixed sign timing, adjusted TS for consistency, and fixed some scene bleeds.

Thank you so much for sharing this 720p release. The world needs more of it, even if it denies it.
One could argue about sharpness, but would it be comparing it to a 1080p encode from an over-sharpened BD release? (to the point white line appears next to the edge)
In this one I see better detail retention in surface textures and dark tones than VCB-Studio (of course) but even Kagura release.
Small satisfying detail: there's more image on four sides, as the Zentora Sakari version is lightly cropped on every borders by a few pixels. (at least on the first episode)
For someone wondering, I see this sharper than Coalgirls 720p release, from the same source. (I also tend to find some of Coalgirls 720p releases to be softer/blurrier than they could be, at least this is a feeling compared to the 720p releases from some other teams)
It is on par with their 1080p release regarding sharpness, but with cleaner lines (less edge noise and aliasing).
Also Coalgirls release of Macross F seems to be of their releases that have a slightly color shift towards magenta.
I tend to find the font size a bit too big for my taste (but maybe it is something common with 720p encodes recently). I get the font scale to 0.8 with my player, though I'm afraid it messes up a bit some of the nice gimmicks of the typesetting. Still, this release was unexpected and it may be the one I will stick with.
Fuck 720P-it should be like the dinosaurs are-extinct. I'm working on a bd-remux version with no fucking compression or "re-encoding" (read fucked up) on either the video or audio with custom subtitles and I'm gonna try to upload it in a few weeks. Believe me it'll be worth waiting for.
What uploads? Have I made any uploads in the last 6 months? And my previous uploads were made from unaltered video and audio with no bullshit filters or other "enhancements" applied. So please fuck off.
