[MiraiAnime] Hakugei: Legend of the Moby Dick (1997) [Complete] [BD 1080p x265 HEVC OPUS | AC3] [Dual-Audio] Densetsu White Whale

Hakugei Densetsu | Hakugei: Legend of the Moby Dick - MyAnimeList.net

Information:

Video was deinterlaced, tcombed (m2), decimated, degrained, dehaloed, debanded and added grain.

English audio is from hchcsen, who just removed their torrent for some reason?? It got the appropriate delays/cuts as either lossless trims or mkv delays.

The subtitles have been restyled, timing shifted and added op/ed.

Chapters are from the BDMV. Stereo jpn audio encoded with 256kbit/s, the english ac-3 tracks have been copied. If you want the source files of these, just ask.

I highly suggest you to use mpv for playback.

Summary:

• styled op/ed
• edited english audio (lossless)
• encoded the jpn audio tracks from PCM to OPUS (opusenc)
• encoded and filtered video tracks to HEVC (x265, crf 23)
• naming scheme matches AniDB.net

I've included two scripts. You can either deactivate the english-audio and sign&songs subs, or completely remove them. Please read-me.txt

Many thanks to [Anonymous@U2] and hchcsen for making this possible.

If you find anything that seems out of the ordinary, just post a comment or in my discord and I'll take a look at it.
