**Title**: Steins;Gate (Season 1 + OVA + Movie) HEVC 10bit SoftSubbed - 1920 x 1080 Encoded by: EoE **Source**: [ITBD Remux](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1348397) + JPBD (*a lot of* GIB) **Audio**: Japanese - English **Subtitles**: English[Full - Signs/Songs] (PGS) - English(Steins;Sub/Commie/WhyNot) - Italian **Note from the encoder**: Hey all, EoE here. I'm gonna be honest, I've stalled *hard* on this one. Almost as hard as with Fate. Part of that is laziness, but at least some of it was just because of how much effort was put into this release. This is by far the most ambitious script ever written for any Judas project, going through at least 5 revisions and a lot of re runs. I'm still not perfectly happy with it, but for a mini encode, it's more than good enough. I will release a full blog post detailing the methods used for this when I release my personal bloated version (script still incomplete, I think I'm on v7 by now?), but here's a short rundown. There are two "good" sources for Steins;Gate - the JPBD and the ITBD. I've seen the ITBD cited a lot as the "best," due to Dynit's debanding, however the debanding has steamrolled over some gradient details and fine lineart present in the JPBD. Therefore, the best source would be a combination of the two. I ran a motion compensated denoise (using vectors from the less grainy JPBD for accuracy) over both, before averaging and merging low frequency details from the JPBD and medium frequency details from the ITBD for as good a source as is reasonably possible. After some standard descaling, denoising, aa and dehaloing, was some pretty horrible debanding. This is the main thing that has been changed in later versions of the script, and as such is not perfect here, though given the low bitrate, bands were inevitable anyway. Regardless, I hope that this lives up to Reza's expectations. If you too would like an ultra high quality, ultra late mini encode, please do drop us a donation - every show we take costs a lot in both man hours and encoding time, and therefore any generosity is appreciated.
