Thanks to the people involved in this release, including the sources.
**Overview:**
A shorter, more streamlined version of Nadia called "The Nautilus Story", which all but eliminates the filler arc and concentrates on the struggle between Nemo and Gargoyle. The compilation series was made by Hideaki Anno, who was said to have been dissatisfied with the final result of the TV show. The Nautilus Story was only released in Japan on VHS and laserdisc. _(source: TMDB)_
This Remaster Project is a complete, frame by frame remake of Nautilus Story using the remastered TV series blu-ray footage as a base. _(source: [KAIXE])_ ([longer explanation here](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1682595))
To get rid of the black bars:
```
mkvmerge --aspect-ratio 0:4/3 input.mkv -o output.mkv
```

This is a pretty nice AV1 mini release. It actually retains more detail than KAIXE's own degrained HEVC release. The only issue is that you didn't encode the video at 1440x1080(4:3), this would have gotten rid of the permanent black bars for those who want to use 16:9. Nevertheless, thanks.
What the hell I didn't notice. I did notice upon muxing their subs that their HEVC release is 4:3 so I assumed the source was the same and didn't even check it. I'm a bit pissed because I try to remove those damn black bars, just like I did on Hi no Tori: Eden no Sora that I released *the same day*... Well people will have to manually crop in their players or other available tool of choice.
See this is why I'm glad we went with the "raw" and compressed format. I'm glad people have other options if they want smaller files/prefer how a different encode looks/etc. Good to see constructing the "raws" was worth it in the end. I mean I'm proud of my work but I'm not going to pretend to be the best encoder in the world LOL
