[VCB-Studio] To LOVE-Ru / To LOVEる -とらぶる- 10-bit 1080p/720p HEVC/AVC BDRip/DVDRip [S1-S4 + OAD Reseed Fin]

S1 (TV 01-26 + OVA 01-06): To LOVE-Ru / To LOVEる -とらぶる- BDRip Reseed 10-bit 1080p HEVC + FLAC + AAC, MKV format. ~ 725 MB / EP.

PP: ivtc, decomb, degrain, fix chroma shift, de-ringing, de-haloing, luma anti-aliasing, linedarken, post-sharpen, de-banding.

S2 (TV 01-12): Motto To LOVE-Ru / もっとTo LOVEる -とらぶる- BDRip Reseed 10-bit 1080p HEVC + FLAC + AAC, MKV format. ~ 750 MB / EP.

The Second Season of To Love Ru has a significantly better image quality than Season 1 in terms of resolution and picture style. Lots of aliasing and a trace of ringing can be found in the static images between chapters whereas main videos have a relatively soft picture style. PP for the main videos included anti-aliasing and de-noising. For the static images, we managed to use reverse-scaling and then to bring them back to 1080p with good algorithm, because many anti-aliasing and de-ringing methods did not work well. The same process was also applied on ED with additional masking around ED STAFF areas, the results were about satisfactory.

S3 / Darkness S1 (TV 01-12): To LOVE-RU Darkness / To LOVEる -とらぶる- ダークネス BDRip Reseed 10-bit 1080p HEVC + FLAC + AAC, MKV format. ~ 900 MB / EP. S4 / Darkness S2 (TV 01-14): To LOVE-RU Darkness 2nd/ To LOVEる -とらぶる- ダークネス 2nd BDRip Reseed 10-bit 1080p HEVC + FLAC + AAC, MKV format. ~ 900 MB / EP.

We switched to HEVC for S3-S4 (and revised the previous S2 release) with a new PP design and results from our comprehensive test of x265 2.0. Compared with the old AVC version, we achieved better quality with even smaller file size.

Darkness OAD (OAD 01-10): To LOVE-RU Darkness OAD / To LOVEる -とらぶる- ダークネス OAD DVDRip Reseed 10-bit 720p AVC + FLAC, MKV format. ~ 300 MB / EP.

PP: waifu2x upconv + deband (OAD 01-02, 07-10), dering + linedarken (OAD 03-06).
