This is a little something I worked on while procrastinating on Nichijou (next ep soon, I promise). I enjoyed White Album 2 and was disappointed by the lack of good releases available for the first White Album. After downloading the BDMV, I understood why. Excluding some terrible upscales (QTEC etc) this has got to be one of the worst-looking releases I've come across. The two main issues are the cross-conversion and banding which is only exacerbated by the ridiculously small file size because half of it is just empty padding as mentioned [here](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1354092). Post-processing includes IVTC, edgefixing, destripe, rescale, denoise, deband and regrain. I had to go a little heavier on the filtering than I would normally like to make it watchable so expect some detail loss in the usual places but it is what it is. Subs are Eclipse & TMD-Raze which I took from Judas who took it from Coalgirls. I made some slight adjustments including increasing the vertical margin. Don't expect any further episodes because my priority is to finish Nichijou. Think of this as a proof of concept, I guess. [comparisons](https://slow.pics/c/DCPTDGAY)
