Subs from [UTW](https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=0_0&q=utw+fate%2Fzero+bd) (via [SCY](https://nyaa.si/view/1122132)).
Difficult encode. The show is very noisy, and no one who has encoded this show has committed to preserving all of the noise since that would result in ~9GB episodes (I tested). Dealing with the noise has its downsides no matter how you do it, so watching a JPBD remux certainly has its advantages if you're a grain lover. But watching on this encode isn't so bad either, since it fixes some aliasing, haloing, and an OP that is totally borked for much of cour 1.
There are also color issues. [Here](https://slow.pics/c/db0EnfW4) are some extremely cherry-picked comparisons from various episodes that show that the JPBD suffers from blurred colors in many scenes. I used the chroma in the UKBD to fix this. The problem exists in more than 80% of the runtime for cour 2.

> urobuchi be like “how do i make a reddit tier SUFFERING anime for edgy teenagers” and so he wrote fate/zero
it's 2023, we don't need to keep pretending like f/z isn't good just because it's tonally very different from f/sn
Don't worry about it, when someone calls an anime "reddit," that just means "a show that a lot of people like." People understand that making fun of something for being popular is frowned upon, so they have to use different terminology.
still no bakemonogatari encode
edit: agree with my friend peanutbutt69, the only decent fate series I watched and I was told Nasu didn't even write it.
They might have been the best choice if you just wanted to mux subs onto a BD and watch that way. But JPBD luma was better, and UKBD chroma was better.
