[Victor1139] The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2006) [Season 1 COMPLETE] [DVDrip 576p] [Eng-Fr-Jap]

Here's the final version of this release (I hope), I went back and adjusted the subtitles in earlier episodes so that they're not so close to the edge of the screen, I also went back and fixed some of the scenes that had low bitrates in the RU DVDs

This release is sourced from the official Russian DVDs for the most part, after descaling to the original resolution they look basically identical to the Japanese DVDs with the advantage of having less compression artifacts overall (the JP DVDs unfortunately have some added grain that didn't compress well), I spliced in the Japanese footage whenever there's a 30fps scene and I also spliced in either the Japanese or the Italian DVDs when there were scenes that didn't compress well in the Russian DVDs. For the scenes with heavy grain such as in episodes 1 and 3, I used an overlay of all the sources I have (R1 US, R2J, R3 RU, R2 IT) in order to combat the heavy compression artifacts that every DVD had. The Opening and Ending sequences were sourced from the Blu-Rays since those were re-rendered in HD for the remaster.

Here's some comparisons with VCB's BDrip release.
