[Half-Baked] The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 - 01 [WEB 1080p HEVC AAC] | Kusuriya no Hitorigoto - 49 | The Apothecary Diaries - S03E01

PP: rescale (int/frac, scenefiltered), aa, denoise, deband, regrain Audio from CR 192kbps, subs modified Crunchyroll (consistency and grammar fixes among other QC and readability changes) Source-Encode Comparison

And we're back! Some delay this first week (vacation ^_^), but hopefully releases should be each Sunday starting with episode 2, though no guarantees.

I'm aware there was another cleaned up CR release that has songs, but I haven't looked at them yet. Maybe I'll give them an edit pass if they seem workable and we include them next time, dunno. As for the encode, they changed the production pipeline it seems (annoying) which means it's actually mostly 900p presharpened bilinear now. The rescale this time is not sharper than source because of that (or rather I opted for a softer convolved kernel descale over sharper convolved kernel descale + dehalo as it produces a more consistent image). Also minimal scenefiltering where deemed necessary and some to be added for OP/ED next time—that is to say it's otherwise the same as always. Thanks to Jashan for letting me know about most of this ahead of time while I was still on the road, helped speed things up this week. And big thanks to Nyarthur for taking care of me once again :)

Oh yeah and also I accidentally plugged the encode settings from another project (oops!) so it's a bit bigger this time. Surely anyone who waited this long doesn't care, but the file should at least be a bit smaller next episode.

Please report any QC issues in my QC server. See you next episode!
