IMHO this encode has much better video quality than SHiN-gx, especially in motion (pans - see note 4 below). There were comparison links here but they are dead now, hence removed. Sorry, you'll have to believe me.
I decided to encode this because the DVDs suffer from numerous issues that needed to be adressed, those being
1\) incorrect levels, sadly with clipped blacks and whites;
2\) wrong color primaries used, apparently (bt709);
3\) haloing;
4\) episode 2 had severely damaged outlines, likely from incorrect scaling. This leads to aliasing, garbling and forking of lines, and ugly crawling in pans/zooms (sadly, this wasn't possible to remove fully in all cases).
Enjoy~
