[Trash-Star] Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Aria of a Starless Night [BD 1080p HEVC OPUS-5.1+2.0] | Hoshi Naki Yoru no Aria

The JPBD video is very bad, so bad I felt compelled to encode it when I tried to watch it. So I encoded it for myself to watch. This is a fairly low-effort encode, the script was made in some minutes, realized it would take over 50 hours to run then cut down and compromised until it was faster, but it still took 28 hours to run with a 12700k and RTX3080 pushing a combined 300watts lol.

Hopefully, someone does a proper good release otherwise I'll do one myself.

Go download sam's release with MTBB's subs instead if you want the best - https://nyaa.si/view/1552451

or MTBB's if you want something smaller than sam's, video quality is similar enough to this Trash-Star anyway but you only get 2.0 audio - https://nyaa.si/view/1551680

Video filtering: Anti-Aliasing, Denoise, Dehalo, Deband, Regrain. Video Notes: Pretty sure the video is 878p(maybe something else in the 870s?) upscaled with Lanczos, but I didn't rescale since a simple rescale looked pretty bad at times with how bit-staved the video is, if I put in a little more effort maybe I could get a decent looking rescale. The denoising and debanding are quite strong so I'm sure that some detail is wiped since I didn't make any attempts to protect detail other than a simple mask for the debanding. Zero testing was done on the x265 settings, so they're pretty generic and untuned.

Subtitle Notes: I OCR'd the PGS subs and created an SRT track as an alternative option for compatibility or for those who want to force their own styling. The SRT track loses the few times the PGS subs typeset stuff, so I recommend using the PGS.
