[224] Katekyo Hitman Reborn! (S1-S3) [BDRip 1080p x265 FLAC]

Great, I didn’t even know BD relase existed. thanks

There was a SDonBD release in late 2018. IIRC this is/was a 4:3 aspect ration show. Not too sure if there was ever an actual HD release of it.

@Glordit At some point later on in the show it switches from 4/3 to 16/9. There were also two BD releases:

The JP BD is HD, but poorly upscaled and the contrast was massively boosted, destroying most detail in brighter and darker areas of frames, and miscolouring just about anything else.

The US BD was SD, and overall looks much better. Only real drawbacks is that it has AC3 audio, but you can circumvent that issue by taking the audio from the JP BDs (which ideally this guy should've done here), and that the authoring company deinterlaced it, sometimes poorly. You can also deal with that by replacing those scenes with DVD scenes.

Judged on filesizes though, I imagine these are just the shitty JP BDs.

There were also two BD releases:

TIL thanks! If it is upscaled, I'll stick with my DVD's for now then. I'll download an episode or two later, to have a look at the differences.

the show it switches from 4/3 to 16/9

I remember now, it's at episode 102 where it switched from 4:3 to 16:9.

Thank you for the info. not having access to U2, I do with what I have accessible. If you could help me with U2 I would appreciate it.

Unfortunately, I don't have invites to spare. If you have an FTP, I don't mind uploading the SD BD for you there, but I'd have to grab it again. You can contact me through the Kaleido Discord server for future enquiry and stuff.

LighArrowsEXE, you where 100% correct. It's upscaled: https://i.imgur.com/qvTpJOt.png Same frame from my DVD's I encoded a few years ago: https://i.imgur.com/fbdznS6.png

I'll be honest, it's not an absolutely unwatchable upscale. But it's an upscale.

Thanks 224 for the effort and release, I am sure many others will enjoy this but, I'll stick to my original DVD for now.

@LightArrowsEXE I have an ftp and it is very nice to offer this solution but don't bother for that, things will stay just as they are.

Gotcha, good luck with this release :thumbs_up:

Nice Thanks

Thanks!!!
