@Nokou
You're welcome!
I'd ask that you try downloading episode 12 and take a look, I think the quality is much improved over the remuxed ones. Audio is untouched, and VEAI outputs a file ~32GB/episode, before I run it through Staxrip. If you don't like it, it's only a 452meg download. Let me know what you think if you do.
Watching it on a large TV (75"), the increase in quality is definitely noticeable between the smaller h265 file and the original h264.
@NullZeroNobody ok... you're right this is very good quality.. thanks
btw what settings did you use on Topaz Video Enhance AI.. as i use it to upscale 480p anime to 720p

I use Artemis HQ, at 100% (Denoise/deblock) since this was a clean source. For others, I'll upscale at minimum 200%, and resize back down to 1080p. For sources that are lower resolution/more pixelated, I'll use Artemis Dehalo (or strong dehalo) at 200% (minimum 1080p), then Artemis HQ at 100% for denoise/deblock. I'm still learning, but others have suggested to run those videos through Staxrip first for the deblock, then go through VEAI. It's an ever-evolving process, trying to tweak the best possible picture quality.
A lot of broadcast anime seems to be a 720p source upscaled to 1080 for broadcast, and only mastered at 1080p on the blu-ray when released. You can notice this especially on the line art. Running it through VEAI cleans up those lines, making it feel much cleaner and clearer. Broadcast also tends to have more banding/blocking, which this cleans up as well.
480->720 is only 150% enlargement, and everywhere I've read seems to say that at minimum it should be a 200% enlargement to see a jump in visible improvement, which falls in line with what I've experienced. If you want to keep it at 720p, I'd still go minimum 200%, then use the transcoding software of your choice to bring it back down to 720p. Use the preview to see it at enlargement to 720p, then at 200% enlargement to see yourself if there's an improvement in the quality. Use "Zoom to fit" so you're comparing apples to apples in terms of picture size.
Hope this was helpful.
