Certain episodes contain commentary tracks.
We have reworked all the OADs using the Darkness OAD BD-BOX, and we took the chance to rework S2-S4 of the TV series as well. The main improvements of this release are:
1\. Improved processing of the lines such that blurring and detail loss caused by anti-aliasing could be avoided.
2\. Different approach and processing strength dealing with banding such that texture smearing is greatly reduced.
3\. Fixed border artifacts and ringing issues.
4\. Further grain processing with improved encoding parameters such that compression artifacts are greatly reduced.
5\. A descaling and reconstruction method specifically designed for the chapter-switching artwork in S2 to ameliorate the severe ringing issue caused by strong processing.
To LOVE-Ru S2-S4 and all OADs are produced in native 720p. It’s a shame that this show was not on the XEBEC Full-HD production line, though sakuga details are much richer than other 720p titles nonetheless. The image quality of the Blu-ray, on the other hand, is just mediocre and kind of messed up. We mainly applied adaptive descaling and reconstruction, adaptive border fixing, anti-aliasing, anti-ringing, adaptive deblocking, adaptive debanding, compensatory sharpening, temporal grain stabilization, and adaptive denoising, which are detailed below.
S2 for the most part is upscaled with a very sharp algorithm and some kind of post hoc de-ringing filter, resulting in a blurred image with fine aliasing, while other parts are upscaled with a softer algorithm. In general, lines are blurry without much ringing. The main difficulties we had are the mixed upscaling algorithms used in different cuts, the complex filter chain of descaling for the chapter-switching artwork, plus occasional cuts that do have leftover ringing. This season also suffers from bad encoding that led to severe compression artifacts, not only made descaling it more difficult due to bigger error, but also amplifies the artifacts after descaling & reconstruction.
S3 has relatively sharp lines, with worse aliasing and ringing issues. Most scenes are upscaled with ordinary algorithms followed up with sharpening, while others are upscaled with sharp algorithms.
S4 is upscaled with a very soft upscaling algorithm, resulting in blurred lines.
The OADs were made across a pretty long time span, and can be put into three categories in terms of their image quality:
1\. OAD01-02, mostly upscaled with ordinary algorithms followed by sharpening, others upscaled with a sharp algorithm, similar to S3.
2\. OAD03-06, all upscaled with a sharp algorithm, with severe fine aliasing and ringing.
3\. OAD07-10, with blurry lines, similar to S4.
Common issues:
1\. The native resolution of the source is 720p in general, however mixed up with quite some variants, such as 719.8p, 712.9p, etc., some of them are not even in 16:9. It has been tedious to deal with some of these variants, as blindly using the 720p filter chain can cause other issues.
2\. Some assets have way higher original resolution than 720p, which appear to have strong aliasing when they're downscaled to fit into 720p.
3\. Weird border artifacts around the image, could come and go within a single episode, with varying locations and strengths across different seasons.
4\. Strange banding issues which might also attribute to assets being used, as there are extremely strong bandings in the background of a few episodes, and some episodes just have strong bandings throughout.
5\. A layer of strong dynamic grains were added in the source, which does reduce the bandings during encoding, but won't help with the banding issue in the assets themselves (SBMV won't save a bad production), while costing a ton of bitrate, resulted in a lot of DCT noise and blocking.
We have designed an automated approach, to determine the descaling parameters by analyzing the source in real-time, and choose the proper neural-network-based upscaling filter for reconstruction, together with necessary masking to protect full-HD assets, and then applied appropriate anti-aliasing and de-ringing processing. For assets with very high original resolution, we could only use a conservative descaling method together with a better neural-network-based upscaling filter for reconstruction (see screenshots pair #2, #5, #6 and #8). We have also designed an automated border artifact detection approach to apply the fix only when there are border artifacts present. For the compression artifacts in the motion scenes of S2, we designed yet another automated approach to adjust the processing strength, paired with a strong neural-network filter (see screenshots pair #1). We then applied routine adaptive debanding and compensatory sharpening. We specifically turned up the debanding strength for scenes with strong bandings (see screenshots pair #3 and #15). Lastly, we had to apply temporal stabilization for the grain, paired with luma-adpative denoising to restrain the bit-rate, otherwise some episodes might be over 3 GB, or left with tons of compression artifacts if one forcibly compresses it down.
As for S1, we all know now how ancient QTEC Blu-ray looks like. We had a look at the recent release of US Blu-ray from Sentai Filmworks, only to find out that they share more or less the same issues as the Japanese version, despite quite a few editions having been released. We've also checked the R2J DVD, and while there are no issues like ghosting, scaled combing, line flickering and weird telecine patterns which found in the Blu-ray, there are still wide haloing/ringing, detail loss and compression artifacts present, for which we cannot fix them to our satisfaction at the moment. We would consider reworking S1 in the future in case better sources or filters become available.
Other fixes:
1\. Added scans for the first 5 volumes of OADs
2\. Added more CDs
3\. Fixed some CDs with new naming rules
