[Source-Encode Comparison](https://slow.pics/c/BNEc9ISc)
---
Last episode was one of my favourites. I just loved seeing them explore the attic of the building, filled with the memories of past tenants. Aside from the historical context that is focused on, there is something rather romantic about the ephemerality of their life and feelings taking physical form in what they left behind. There are a few things to be said about the building's and show's name (lit. "House of One-Moment"), and the symbol for time, the clock of Clock Hill Tower standing still... but as to avoid sounding sappier than I already do, I think drawing any connections and conclusions is best left as an exercise for the reader.

As this is a mostly solo project, I have no doubts there are errors in the source I missed and potentially even more that I introduced. So please report any errors in my [Public QC Discord server](https://discord.gg/YwpJf2fHDe). **I am also looking for additional timers to split the workload with. Even contributing just a few episodes would be appreciated**. No prior fansubbing experience required, so long as you've timed something before. Use mpv for playback.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to say. In any case, the grain is part of the image, and removing it to save space leads to severe damage. I don't believe I could do a significantly better job than Kagura did, so if you want something slightly smaller and thinks it looks good enough in the comparisons, just grab their encodes instead. The attachments to these uploads can be trivially downloaded from AnimeTosho and muxed to any other sources you want to use so long as they are somewhat properly cropped.
The show needs the bitrate—because it is grainy. It being blurry affects this relationship fairly little. And frankly, my encode *already* has noticeable compression problems. If you don't see them just be happy that you don't. You're better off caring less than I do.
@tonikaku With all due respect, I have yet to see someone actually pass Opus 192kbps ABX with log. All the people who have made this kind of stink about lossy audio have been unable to back up any claims of noticeable quality degradation. And all those who do actually ABX seem over time to have changed to lossy formats. It’s really just the same principle at play as with using lossy video encoding over lossless video encoding after filtering. On that note, even the most bloated video encodes on this site are usually far less transparent to their source than a 192kbps Opus encode is to its source (assuming 2.0 audio).
The idea is to save space where doing so has no actual drawbacks to a playback experience, be it in terms of video or audio (or, in some instances, subs as well). Because, if it has no drawback to playback, it really has no drawback at all. If the idea is to preserve the highest possible quality of a given show, what you should be preserving are BDMVs and encode scripts. Not video encodes that are filtered and lossy to source. I recommend you un-placebo your brain by trying an extensive foobar abx, and then after getting things right slightly more than standard deviation if you get lucky, considering if that kind of clinical comparison is anything like the experience of watching something in the first place. To anyone who has done this it should be blatantly obvious how silly this constant bemoaning of lossy audio encoding is.
