Deinterlaced, and upscaled the raws wonky 1440x1080i resolution to full 1920x1080p using Topaz Video Enhance, which uses AI deep learning. It also does a really good job at deblocking, denoising and sharpening without losing any detail. AT-X logo has also been removed by splicing in clips from the SubsPlease release.
Your wishes have been granted. New x265 version up. And it turned out even better than the x264 release. I will upload the previous eps over next couple days as i'm redoing the Video Enhance phase on them. Noticed that some detail got lost when I resaved the processed video in the wrong colorspace, which led to some banding issues.
Have a more streamlined workflow now so should get new eps out decently fast as soon as new raws are out. But expect about 10+ hours after raw release. As it takes me a few min to deinterlace and cut down vid and prep it for Topaz. Then Topaz needs about 5-7 hours to process the video. Then another 1,5-2 hours to encode the video.
I checked out the Ohys-raws a bit as well. And did some tests with those. While I found them a bit cleaner and had less banding issues. The end results was better with moscowgolem's raws, as it had more details preserved. And whatever banding issues persist is very minor and limited to only a few small dark scenes.

I decided to use average bitrate instead of constant quality, as average with 2 passes gives better results from my testing. And I set the bitrate to a value aiming to get it to around a 500mb. And will try to get all episodes to be around the same size at 500mb from now on.
Also higher bitrate will reduce chance of it adding more banding effects which the previous release had some issues with.
It's also partly OCD.. really wanted hit a perfect size of exactly 500mb... but missed it by 7mb ? And takes almost 2 hours to re-encode so didnt wanna waste more time over my silly OCD
Next episode currently baking in oven. Should be nice and crisp, ready for release in about 2-3 hours.
Did a bit extra work this time. And only used the uncensored parts and audio from the AT-X release, and replaced the censored parts in the SubsPlease release. And ran everything through the Video Enhance AI.
