videos are too high bit rate wouln't recommend

@DR3AMKiiLL3R No they're not. Considering the files are BD 1080p with 2 FLAC tracks the fact that the file sizes are 1.5-2GB per episode make sense. If you just lower the bit rate it will make the encode look like an utter mess. Most people that are downloading 1080p blu ray encodes don't care about the size, unless it was something extreme. There are plenty of other more space efficient copies of the show, so why even bother clicking on this one if you don't recommend it because of the size?

^ yup

Thanks!

Thanks for the release

Definitely not a good release (size-wise).

Thanks

Just because you can't make a more "efficient copy" doesn't mean others can't, I've been downloading efficient encodes from the likes of Cleo, EMBER, Anime Time, etc. for well over a decade and none of them have ever looked like an "utter mess", they are also almost always the last ones to keep being seeded, bloatware always dies out first. And frankly I don't even get the point of these bloated releases, they take up way more space so you need bigger HDD's, they are slower to download so you need faster/more expensive internet and to even be able to see the difference you probably need a big 4K TV, if you have the money for all that then buy the f*cking Bluray and support the artist and the studio. Just to be clear, I'm not saying not to make these big encodes, it's what people use the make the small ones, that's their main purpose in my eyes.

joe, stop being a fucking faggot

But he's got a point.

@JoeGP While I do appreciate their existence, small encodes look much worse on any cheap modern monitor. The difference is immediately easily noticeable, especially in darker scenes and such, or for older titles with lots of grain. No point in going for the smaller ones with enough storage/decent internet speeds accessible for pennies in most of the world. Typically, people don't archive terabytes of anime, we just keep reusing the same space, replacing one title we are currently watching with another after the former is finished. You don't need piles of memory to do this. In fact, mere 100gb at hand would be plenty to shuffle several short-length titles around, or to download longer ones in parts. Buying every BD is very expensive, those're hard to get if you live in a shithole of a country like I do; discs typically have worse subs than torrented content in terms of various edits or straight up translation quality, and are in general rigid and clunky in many use cases as BDs can't be, say, enjoyed in Syncplay with a friend and such. Non-sensical expenditure unless you truly are a fan of a particular work. Totally not something to do for literally every single show you happen to check out. Virtue signaling "support the author" sounds super weird from a self-admitted decades-long pirate. And in the end you even agree that so called "bloated" releases are necessary for your own enjoyment as the final consumer of smaller torrents? I see you even reencode "bloated" stuff yourself? So what's your final point, then? A bunch of pointless whining only useful to bait morons like me into answering. Also, how is 1.5GB per 1080p episode bloated? Studios themselves provide their copies for streaming sites like Crunchyroll at around 1.5GB per episode right now, so it basically is an intended size for internet streaming. Companies would benefit from cutting their bitrate even further, but it clearly does result in the loss of quality noticeable by majority of the consumers, so they don't.
