The original upscale is aligned to the centre of the edge pixel. We descale via `Lanczos(2)` to `1920*(1552-1)/(1920-1)`×`1080*(873-1)/(1080-1)`, limited by line mask to avoid damaging texture, and protected by credit mask and various other masks. In addition, the post colouring antialiasing in the original production frequently failed on areas with darker background colour. This is especially common in the lineart on school uniform. During the descale, we perform an AA on doubled using `vsaa.based_aa`. This AA only applies on darker areas of the character via a character mask using `anime-segmentation` model and a luminance mask, and doesn't touch anything else. This fixes a good portion of the remaining aliasing. Noisewise, the JPBD has heavy noise. We believe it isn't artistic, so we try to remove as much as can be safely removed. However, on the other hand, some texture in this anime is extremely weak, and being weaker than the noise, they are very temporally unstable. We denoise via `mc_degrain` + `bm3d` on luma, adjusted via a character mask via `anime-segmentation` to apply much weaker denoise on background than chararcter, and we denoise via `mc_degrain` + `wnnm` on chroma. Due to some texture being too weak to sustain a strong deband, we choose to use a rather light deband via `placebo_deband`. This is limited by a `dctf.DCTFilter` based protection to minimise damage on the weak texture, and by a basic `vszip.LimitFilter`. For encode, we use a decent regrain via `vsdehalo.Grainer.SIMPLEX` to cover up some light blocking in the original BD. We encode the episodes using x265 4.1+242+57 mod by Patman via `vsmuxtools`. Parameters: `vsmuxtools.settings_builder_x265(hist_scenecut="", crf=11.30, aq_mode=5, aq_strength=0.60)`. Thanks to comet and other people for guiding me through descale process, and thanks to people on the SeaDex server for pointing out issues with banding. Thanks to all the people creating the tools, plugins and vsfunc’s that make this possible. You are welcome to do anything with this encode, including remuxing and republishing it. --- * **Video**: [Himejoshi] Filtered and encoded using JPBD from U2. * **Audio**: Japanese [Himejoshi] Sourced from JPBD from U2, downsampled to 16-bit / 48000 Hz, and losslessly encoded. * **Subtitles**: English [Tsundere] subtitles sourced from [smol]'s release. Fixed timing issue in episode 10. français [Kazuya] subtitles sourced from an unnamed release on nyaa.iss.one. We shifted the subtitles episode by episode, but this doesn't solve timing problems within each episode. We also fixed issues with missing fonts in the original release, but this doesn't solve missing glyphs in the font used in the original typesettings. Deutsch [Amalgam] subtitles. We fixed issues with missing styleref in ASS and missing fonts in the original release, but this doesn't solve missing glyphs in the font used in the original typesettings. 日本語 Restyled R2 subtitles, originally sourced from AniJP release. Broken in the second half of episode 12. 中文（简体） / 中文（繁體） [动漫国字幕组&白月字幕组] subtitles sourced from [VCB-Studio] release. We shifted the subtitles episode by episode, but this doesn't solve timing problems within each episode. * **Chapters**: [Himejoshi] Renamed chapters sourced from JPBD from U2. --- Join our server at [https://discord.gg/cdmdVckC7q](https://discord.gg/cdmdVckC7q).
