Are we to the point where it's becoming advisable to get some series in 1080p since they are mastered above 720p or are we still basically in the situation where for TV anime there's no point to 1080p?
>>134131457
Yes.
>>134131457
Depends on the studio. You can also check anibin.blogpost.
Some studios recently like JC.Staff and KyoAni has they animation scanned above 720p. So getting a 1080p copy is worth it for archival.
Up to you man.

Thanks for that link, I'll check it out

We've been at that point since at least 2012: http://blisswater.info/regarding-crunchyroll-and-1080p-streaming/ (note: CR has improved a bit since this was written)
anibin posts a list of what anime are >720p every season.
General rule for Horriblesubs: if it's Funi, download 1080p, period. The Funi 720p files are literally fucked up downscales of the anime which they always receive from the studio at >720p, regardless of what the anime is "mastered at." If it's CR, download 1080p if it's listed on anibin as >720p.

Who the fuck watches Horriblesubs? Just wait for a group that uses a pure video source not FUNI/CR's incompetent shit

Most of /a/.

Just sayin', the DL numbers don't lie. Most people these days are downloading HS and, amusingly, still downloading the 720p versions of >720p anime.
MadVR takes care of HS's banding issues and any other artifacts aren't really noticeable in motion unless you actively look for them like an autist instead of, you know, just watching the fucking anime.
>>134134945
I fear for the future of anime.

Do you know what a screenshot is? You know, these things we take and even (gasp) post on /a/?
>>134135152
>I take screenshots of fansubs and post them on /a/
I bet you have a lot of fun discussing last week's episode with everyone while they discuss the current episode, having watched it already via HS.
>>134135152
>>134135292
Also, waifu2x is extremely successful at removing HS screenshot artifacts. For some reason Yuru Yuri this season has been especially artifacty and waifu2x cleans up YrYr screenshots real nice like with NR on medium.
>>134135292
Actually I take screenshots of fansubs and don't post them on /a/. I also refuse to discuss anime plotlines with plebeians who will only shout "X IS BEST GIRL!" and sexually tinged humor which make up about 95% of the posts in weekly threads about anime currently airing.
>>134134659

I can't wait to see how Shinmoneta ends. Any day now.
>>134135499
And then there's this asshole.
>>134135544
You're the same as people in 2003 who downloaded AnimeJunkies trash
>>134135919
>Streaming is common practice on /a/ nowadays, with people who refuse to stream being the outliers.
This is inaccurate. The vast majority of screenshots of currently airing anime here are HS screenshots.
>>134136053
Using HS is watching the same garbage they stream on CR or Funi's website. It is the same thing.
>>134135919
I doubt that, /a/ is still one of the mods favorite boards and the shit bait threads get deleted fairly quickly as opposed to other boards. It is not helping that we are adding more boards thus thinning the mods out. /a/ still has some of it's "elitism" and I don't see that going away any time soon.
>>134136104
>It is the same thing.
MadVR cleans it up significantly, so no, it's not.
>>134136172
>Bastardizing your cartoons with an external filtering program to make them look pretty rather than viewing them in their natural state
Disgusting

I bet you think vinyl > digital and that audio EQ is inherently bad too.
>dat unfounded superstition
>>134136397
Not really but you're literally distorting the anime's appearance with madVR. There's no question about that. It isn't superstition.
>>134136498
The superstition is the belief that doing so is inherently bad. Debanding HS files results in an objective improvement. Properly configuring MadVR's upscaling settings results in an objective improvement when upscaling, and only weird autistic fucks watch anime windowed at native resolution instead of fullscreen.
>>134136592
You're destroying information when you do that so yes that is bad. You probably watch DNRed cel shows too you animal.
>>134136760
When you deband HS files you replace bad information with superior information. In conclusion, you are an idiot.
>>134136840
Everyone go home, this guy won the argument.
>>134136498
This is why I don't use the NNEDI3 stuff, but chroma has to be upscaled in all video and madvr allows you to choose better options that don't necessarily filter anything.
>>134136840
>When you deband HS files you replace bad information with superior information.
Why don't you scribble over the anime with your crayon drawings and replace Nayrutooto with "superior" information too?
>>134134659
CR has better raws than most Jap TV stations though. Only reason to go with a TV rip is if CR gets the censored version and it's airing on ATX.
>>134133408
>if it's Funi, download 1080p

I'd rather wait for coalgirls, if that's the case.

What does HV1280 or HV1280+/857 mean?
>>134139353
>CR has better raws than most Jap TV stations though.
And yet they encode them in such a shitty manner that it does not matter.
>>134131457
We're in a weird spot where quite a lot of shows are at 900p or something, which makes 720p downscales and 1080p upscales, neither of which are desirable. I don't really see much of a difference when I run 720p and 1080p versions through MPC player, so generally go for the 720p.
A lot of the horriblesubs torrents seem to have bitrate/encode problems in detailed or fast scenes. The seraph OP in 720p has artifacts everywhere, and I normally don't notice that kind of thing.
If a show is drawn in 720p and is ripped from CR (Osomatsu-san, for example), is there any merit to downloading the 1080p? I'm only asking, since I'm assuming both the 1080p and 720p versions are encoded from the same (upscaled) 1080p source, so I would think that the 720p version then suffers more detail loss regardless of the original resolution it was drawn at.
