Initial D Second stage - De-noised + De-artifacted 1080p
- Initial D second stage, put through software to reduce the video noise and some artifacts.
- The process is not perfect, some places may still contain noise and grain or over-sharpening, please accept my apology.
- Some CG scenes in the season contain aliasing and moire, I may revisit this in the future when the technology has improved.
- The source video is taken from 'Initial D complete series 1080p' from nyaa.si.
- The video is encoded with H.265 codec, which provides higher quality than the H.264 that I used in the First stage.
- Please enjoy! If you are finding the process has 'ruined' your beautiful 90's aesthetic, you may still download or stream the original.
- Video is in MKV format, included English + Japanese audio and English subtitles. You may have to select track manually in your video player.
- My internet is very slow, please accept my apology!

This is a reencode; mark it as red so that it’s obvious it should be avoided
I have updated it now Enjoy your day friend! :)
de-noised.
DESTROYED.
60h for just denoise? wow
Why should reencodes be avoided?
This is great, thank you. Will you be looking at de-noising and de-artifying other older series?
@Qualia Because they are RETARD. There is NOTHING wrong if really improves over the original.
Hmm, just saw it... h265 and over 3GB per EP.
You are totally CRAZY !
Congrats, you destroyed it, the rain is gone, there is a fuckton of artifacting, and even managed to bloat it up even whilst using H265.
This shit should be considered a meme release if anything.
-meme filtering -3.5gb per episode
Is this a joke?
Need Seeder Please.
