[Pizza] Maison Ikkoku - 02 [BD 720p HEVC Opus]

Source-Encode Comparison

I wasn't quite able to talk about the show itself much last week, and since talking about the contents of the episode of a given torrent would unnecessarily spoil things for those who are using this release to watch the show for the first time, I'll keep talking about the show to exclusively the contents of previous episodes. That said, I just really want everyone to be able to appreciate how well-animated this show is. There's plenty of full-body character animation, the scenes are paced in a realistic manner because instead of characters waiting their turn to show a reaction, they naturally move simultaneously, and there are plenty of fairly difficult cuts of animation (one such example being Kyoko frolicing through the front yard after the eyecatch in the previous episode). And this is supported by an equally solid storyboard thanks to which the visuals never really grow stale, and which leads to many potent moments I still fondly look back to. Anyway, I don't want to talk your proverbial ear off, so more gushing will have to wait until the next episode.

Releasing two episodes per week, one on Sundays, and another on Wednesdays.

As this is a mostly solo project, I have no doubts there are errors in the source I missed and potentially even more that I introduced. So please report any errors in my Public QC Discord server. I am also looking for additional timers to split the workload with. Even contributing just a few episodes would be appreciated. No prior fansubbing experience required, so long as you've timed something before. Use mpv for playback.
