**Description**
I encoded this using the BD remux from -ZR-. He noted "BD Set had all the BD's marked as Rev so Sentai Updated it seems". The noise artifacts were distracting, so I applied very light denoise to make it less noticeable while still preserving the fine details. I removed the silent minute and a half long English credits at the end because I don't care about them. I encoded the two DTS-HD MA Japanese and English audio tracks to Opus at 192kbps. The subtitles tracks are the English and Signs & Songs PGS from the BD. The default is Japanese audio and English subs. The chapters are from the BD but I renamed them. I also included the no credits OP and ED titles. Here is my release of the [2006 remake season](https://nyaa.si/view/1674340).

**Tech Note**
It seems that for some reason, at some point in the mastering process an analog filter was used. This introduced distracting noise artifacts and a slight rolling wavy effect, particularly noticeable on character outlines. The slight denoise helps cut their impact and shrinks the file size accordingly. I noticed the BD has a larger field of view than the DVD so even though the video is 3.96:3 instead of 4:3, it shows more of the image.
I figured why not include it. I actually prefer if people add the [Hi10p] tag instead of using it as a replacement for [x264] since it's describing the profile, not necessarily the codec. With both added, there's no ambiguity.
@TechNinja: That may have been true 5-10 years ago, but now it's assumed x264 is 10bit, when used for BD rips. Honestly, you'd have to be stupid to use 8bit, but some still do.
I think it still holds true today. If I stumble across a x264 release and it's not tagged or mentioned in the description (directly or indirectly) that it's 10 bit, more often than not it will be 8 bit. Most normalfags still like 8 bit x264 so they can take advantage of hardware acceleration to watch on smart TVs or consoles or old phones or whatever.
I started doing the 2006 version of the show and wew, it's pretty bad quality (yet better than the compression-ridden DVDs). From the looks of it, I'm pretty sure they had to deal with restoring the original D-2 tapes, because there's dot crawl present. D-2 tapes store video as a composite signal, so there's no way to filter the chroma.
Thank you TechNinja! If you're still around/active, I really hope progress on the 2006 version has been good, though judging by your last comment, it sounds like a nightmare to handle...
