KITE



Estuve buscando este clasico de animacion en buena calidad hace unos meses para la coleccion de anime y no encontre nada cuanto menos decente. Encontre la ISO y entendi que con muy poco esfuerzo podia sacar una release 10 veces mejor.
Eso hice y a continuacion subi a nyaa. Ahi habian otro 2 torrents de Kite tambien seguramente con la misma mala calidad de anteriores releases. En apenas 2 horas me tumbaron el torrent, seguramente porque interpretaron que 5 minutos de hentai de 50 del conjunto de 2 OVAS era demasiado porno y habia que mezclarlo con su denominado "FAP" sukebei.nyaa junto a las pornstars asiaticas. En fin, cada uno se masturba con la cantidad de hentai que le parezca pero me sigue pareciendo burdo tumbar de esta forma tan violenta y unilateral aportes tan necesitados como el presente y otros a los que me dedico (anime de los 90 en su mayoria). Dicho esto pueden atiborrar de lolicons nyaa entero, igual sukebei.nyaa se convierte en FUN y nyaa en FAP, quien sabe.


En la parte tecnica decir que este es mi primer trabajo con el equipo nuevo. Lo mas destacable es un gran denoise temporal que limpia sobre todo los artefactos de origen analogico de la fuente, dotcrawl, rainbowing, etc. Elimine el field-blending de la fuente que impregna las demas releases. Y poco mas, color correction, ajuste a 1:1 del AR, y realce de lineas. Se que se pudo hacer mas (dering, destripe), pero seguramente en detrimento de la calidad de imagen, sobre todo el detalle de los fondos.

Polemic:

This was my first upload of the new era. That is after I built my new system. Before this I had been some time without releasing major things due to underpowered equipment. I was using a laptop that simply stopped to turn on and had to rely on an old beast from 2007.

Excited I started to upload my releases to nyaa, aside from mcanime which was my main home. As soon as I finished the upload and within a day I had the release pulled out, with a message asking to upload to nyaa.sukebe (or something), they even didn't bother to ask me previously (ie to backup description, etc). This was a very sad moment. I was releasing a very alienated title not only from the anime public but from the fansubs as well, and nyaa decided this restoration work was better under a pile of live action porn... discouraging at best. I guess the hundreds of thousands of loli anime crap goes to the same place, am I right?

Since then I made it clear on every and each of my new releases that THIS ONE was my first release (of the new era). It raised questions on the comment section of my last upload, so as always I redirected them to the mcanime page, only to discover mcanime was going down to hell (crunchydollars at work). It was a matter of time I built this new place to avoid all what is wrong in the internet anime scene.

  1. Will you be working on the BDs? I know some parts are SD upscaled though...

  2. TBH I didn't know of such BD release, this is "new" to me as I made the DVD restoration in January 2014, one year earlier. For the remastered chunks it's certainly good, some compression in the darks, some hue shift to reds and a bit oversaturated (to my liking), but otherwise great. Then the DVD upscaled chunks should be replaced with this restoration, as well as the censored parts (though not pretty to end with so much SD...).
    It is totally doable and I often do this kind of edits but I fear the edits could be something more complicated than forward trim-in, trim-out. Some scenes could be intertwined/re-edited requiring more work (some info here). Can't tell until I get my hands on.

    1. Oh, I didn't pay attention that it is a 2008 anime... And looking to some screens it doesn't even need "restoration", just an encoding with some filters like debanding.
      I can't edit my previous post, sorry.
      Anyway, thank you for these 2 OVA!
