They hang out with the calm Satou Masashi and the hyperactive Nagaoka Shiho from the parallel class, navigating the challenges of school and daily life — such as seating placement in class, clean-up duty, or going for karaoke..." (AniDB) http://anidb.net/anime/414 Based on a dating sim VN (which unfortunately has no official or fan translation). #### Video notes: - IVTC on DVD volumes 2-4. Volume 1 was interestingly progressive NTSC with just duplicate frames so decimate was enough, but it had obviously been deinterlaced at some point during production, and not that well so episodes 1-4 have some jaggies and flickering lines. - Removed halos and rainbows - Removed most of the dotcrawl, as much as was possible without generating extra issues - Stabilized screen shake - Moderate denoising Video quality gets a bit better in general after the first volume (episode 5 onwards). The omakes are worse though. Wasn't the best of sources but based on this article Right Stuf did a decent job I guess: https://www.rightstufanime.com/anime-resources-to-heart #### Subtitle notes: Minor editing, typo fixes, op/ed karaoke, animated signs and typesetting -X
