The post-production of "Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko" is rather messy to say the least. The main movie in both the US and the Japanese Blu-ray, as well as the Web-DL from streaming platforms, all have oversaturated colors compared with the PV (included in Blu-ray or the official YouTube upload). We believe that the PV has the correct color, as the orange-colored YOSHIMOTO logo in the opening matches the color on the official website (while being oversaturated in the main movie), also the colors just look subjectively more natural to our eyes. Interestingly, if we apply a gamut compression by converting the primaries from BT.709 to DCI-P3 (D65), the result is almost identical to the PV. So it could be that the oversaturation of color is caused by using the wrong color space during post-production. Moreover, both the US and the Japanese Blu-ray have out-of-range values in the luma plane (i.e. BTB/WTW, obvious in screenshots pair 1 and 4 below).
The out-of-range values were hard-clipped in the Japanese Blu-ray, therefore not recoverable, plus there are weird black borders on the left and right…So we chose to use the US Blu-ray as the source. Unfortunately, the US Blu-ray has English hard subtitles, so we had to find another relatively good Web-DL as a reference, and made a mask based on the difference between the two, to recover the parts overlaid with hard subtitles (see screenshots pair 1 below).
After dealing with the above problems of the source, there is no major issue image quality wise. We only applied mild routine anti-aliasing, de-banding and de-ringing. All audio tracks plus bonus contents are from the Japanese Blu-ray.
This BDrip is done in close collaboration with SweetSub. Kudos to natsukage@SweetSub who analyzed the color issue of this anime in detail.
