Low Tier: Prof and SAIO.
Shit Tier: bonkai77, bonkai77 filtered, AnimeTorrentLover.
"Okay quality for the size" Tier: zza, GERMini.
@Deago ZZA recommended by you is worse than Fussoir’s 720p version. I actually prefer this torrent than that. The “anonymous raw” is OK but also worse than my full 1080p release, beats me why someone would get that instead unless they really didn’t want the color corrections. Erai raws has plenty of seeds and subs but is missing the DC and is worse than anonymous raw. SAIO here has am excessively agressive DNR smudging too much detail, but is not near as bad as Bonkai which is atrocious indeed. Prof and CBM despite being twice the size of my 720p HEVC has less detail retention, this is due to unoptimized grain treatment. 2D4U is pretty good but has degraining artifacts on episode 19-23 and those never received a v2. It also has less grain preservation.
The only release that preserves more grain than mine used to be Yurasyk’s, which was reused in here: https://nyaa.si/view/886718 But the size per episode is just ludicrous and has no seeders.
In any regard, if you are not preserving gain, it isn't worth it to encode the series in 1080p as the 16mm film master is pretty soft and hasn't enough resolution anyway.
TL:DR Get my 1080 or 720p version for best size to quality ratio, or Fussoir’s 720p if you hate grain or want the absolute smallest filesize possible.
I’ll provide SS comparing most of theses soon™.
