Why did V-W get A+ for Aldnoah? Both V-W and Commie's release seem to be on the same level.

Better TL and script, I think

Can pseudo-anonymous releases get trusted, or does that cancel out being trusted?

If the account that submitted them is trusted, yes.

Is waramete even worth it? I dropped it off after like 3 eps because no one was doing it and it was QUALITY everywhere.

Sleeper hit of last season, imo.

>watching FUNi rips >ever. There's always another way anon, even if it takes months due to >jing

I was quite okay with them for Waremete, to be honest.

Yeah, I know about the other issue. Just thought it would at least be nice to have the colors under control for those times when you have not much choice than watching a Funi release. Also, this is the result with your example: http://a.pomf.se/yjkdgb.png

Hm, guess it works then

After playing a little bit around, I figured out how to fix the Funimation colors effortlessly. It's not identically, but comes pretty close. What do you think? http://a.pomf.se/hacqky.png

Try it on a darker scene than that, for instance the one I used here http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison.php?id=107930
The main problem with Funi's video (at least, at the default input range) is that blacks get "crushed", resulting in loss of detail (you can see how a lot of details in the dark background just vanish into the darkness, like the book on the right). I have a feeling that your method will just change the brightness/contrast of the resultant image without doing anything to fix the crushed blacks (it'll just replace them with crushed greys). You need something that operates on the input, not the output... I think.
By the way, the main issue with Funi's (and CR's) Yurikuma video isn't the colours/contrast, but the scaling. It was obviously deinterlaced at 1080p with a simple bob / row doubling and then scaled from that, which turns all the onscreen text into a jaggy, aliased mess and fucks up the lineart (especially obvious in motion). It's a Media Factory thing.

>already happened, no A+ | How come?

Translations weren't quite up to standard, apparently. It is a rather difficult show, though.

I'm watching Funi for Yurikuma because I think this is their best TL/ED job in a long, long while. What did the reviewers say about it?

It wasn't looked at because HS can't get A+ and none of the fansubbers are using their script.
I haven't been watching them myself past the first episode or two because their video for this show is eyecancer, but I remember a few Japanese-speaking enthusiasts I know being somewhat critical of their TL for being lazy and not really using the best terms (like "I'll ruin bears" or something). It doesn't really matter for me either way because I can't stand the video.
Their best TL/ED job in a long while is totally Ushinawareta Mirai though.

Is ITW's Noucome actually accurate TL wise or a fun sub/rewrite?

I wouldn't call it a rewrite, since it doesn't flat-out ignore the original dialogue at all times, but it does take about as many liberties as it is possible to take. It certainly gets the spirit of the show across and does a much better job than CR at translating a lot of the jokes, though.

What is the oldest currently active fansub group in the scene, and which active fansubber has been doing it the longest?

No idea. I've only been around for a few years myself.

>mfw reading the downvotes on MAL for Vivid's Amagi. Holy fuck, I never realised how retarded people were!

You get used to it after a while.

re: flac to aac; your ffmpeg probably needs to be recompiled with aac support (something something non-free etc) if you can't find a proper encoder when running ffmpeg -formats (look for a capital E). Probably libfdk-aac. Or without ffmpeg, flac -cd input.flac | fdkaac -Rm5 -o output.aac -

thx lae

What do I need to encode FLAC to AAC in ffmpeg? I tried simply "-c:a aac" but it didn't work.

Never tried it. I use eac3to for everything - you can do it with that and the free Nero AAC encoder.

How's the QUALITY in ep4 of Twintails BD?

Haven't started yet, but I don't recall ep4 being particularly bad even on TV...
