The complete guide to Yozakura Quartet descale bullshit:
Hana no Uta 01: bilinear and sharp bicubic
Hana no Uta 02-13: catrom and sharp bicubic
Hoshi no Umi 01-03: b=-0.5 c=0.75 horizontally, bilinear vertically (no, I can't believe it either)
Yoza-Quar! 01-04: catrom
Yoza-Quar! 05: undescaleable
Yoza-Quar! 06: bilinear
--------------------------------
These are my own encodes of Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta, Yozakura Quartet: Hoshi no Umi, and the Yoza-Quar! specials, with opus audio, and Cthuko subs on the main episodes and Kuro subs on the specials.
General filtering consists of edgefixing, descaling, luma and chroma antialiasing, dehaloing, denoising, debanding, and graining. Edgefixing and chroma aa differ depending on which descale is used for the scene in question. Hana no Uta's OP has some extra edgefixing in one scene and special denoising/debanding/graining in two others that are very grainy. The eyecatches are filtered differently, usually with luma and chroma dehaloing, freezeframing (to fix some mild gunk on several frames), denoising, debanding, and graining. Several scenes are scenefiltered for special cases like no descaling, letterboxing, a shit ton of grain, strong aliasing, etc.
Audio is 192kbps Opus because a high quality lossy codec provides maximum quality for minimum size, same as x264/x265 video.
Subs are from Cthuko for everything but the Yoza-Quar! specials, which use Kuro subs. Both the "normal" and "youkai" Cthuko tracks are included. The latter leaves the word youkai untranslated (hence the name), while the former translates to "daemon". Chapters are also from Cthuko.
I hope you enjoy. Yozakura Quartet: Tsuki ni Naku is currently in progress, so keep an eye out for that.
Screenshot comparison: https://slow.pics/c/kuebPreC | All shots are from Hana no Uta except the last, which is from Hoshi no Umi.
Finally, here's some blu-ray art: https://files.catbox.moe/krex0t.zip | https://files.catbox.moe/h98lja.zip
Scans are untouched from the original upload on U2, so thanks to Fleppensteyn for those. The non-scan artworks are menus or something, I pulled those from the .m2ts containers myself.
------------------------
The watch order is Hana no Uta 1-8, Hoshi no Umi 1-3, Hana no Uta 9-13, Tsuki ni Naku 1-3.
