There is no Italian subs in this episode, could you please add it? Thanks for your work! :)

Hey, sorry for the missed Italian Subs. I just took the erai raws release for the encode. You can lookout for the Italian Subs when Erai adds it at this [DDL link](https://sub.erai-ddl2.info/2017/Spring/Boruto%20-%20Naruto%20Next%20Generations/index.php?dir=159). (They will most likely add it in a few hours)

Thank you again :) !!!

@yakubo thanks for the hint!

Thanks

Why only boruto and black clover encodes

@yakubo Can you explain me what kind of loss during re-encode to OPUS And to compare it with AAC, which one is better for both quality and file size? Thanks in advance :)

@Jin_Kazama In general, Opus has better compression than AAC for the same quality. In other words, if the source is same, then for the same final output size (bitrate), an OPUS audio encode will give you better quality than an AAC encode. On the other hand, AAC being the older codec, it has wider compatibility than Opus. But more and more devices are extending support for Opus now, so it soon will be more or less universal. However, in this case, since this is a re-encode from AAC→Opus (Lossy→Lossy) there is a slight reduction in quality compared to the original AAC. I refrain from doing lossy→lossy encodes anymore in my black clover and other new animes that I pick up now. For boruto (and conan), I am still using Opus because I have already released a lot of episodes for them in that format and now it'll be suddenly inconsistent to change the codec all of a sudden. The reduction in quality is extremely minor though, and I'm pretty certain the differences will be indistinguishable in a blind test. Despite that, I had asked for opinions from my downloaders in this regard (see this [boruto release](https://nyaa.si/view/1239786)), and since nobody had any strong opinions against continuing with Opus, I decided to continue. I can reconsider this decision again if multiple downloaders ask me to, but that would mean I'll be releasing a whole batch of previous episodes in AAC as well. **TLDR;** If you are converting from a lossless source or a very high-bitrate source, encoding to Opus is the better choice than AAC, but if it is already a low bitrate lossy source, it's better to keep it as is.

@Adrian456 I'm open to requests for other anime. Mostly the reason for not choosing other animes is that either there already exists many HEVC encoders for them, or the anime is super less popular (with very few downloaders). If you have any suggestions/requests, feel free to share here in the comments (or mail me, either way).

@yakubo Ah, I get it. So it depends on the source then. If the source is already a low bitrate audio, it won’t do any good to convert it from AAC to OPUS. For this boruto release, how high is the audio’s bitrate?

The source was in 128kbps in AAC, while this encode is in 112kbps Opus. If the source had higher bitrate, 112k Opus is actually good enough.

So, which one has better quality between 128kbps AAC or 112kbps Opus? Do you have any plan to do boruto Opus release from the first eps in batch in the (near) future? Sorry if I ask too much. Thanks in advance ??

As I said earlier, it depends on the source. In this case, since the source itself is 128kbps AAC, the encoded 112kbps Opus should theoretically have a slight lower quality. However, practically speaking, the reduction in quality is extremely minor, and probably undistinguishable to human hearing. For near future, yes I plan to encode boruto from episode 1 using the Bluray as the source (which has high bitrate FLAC audio). I'm waiting for the BDs to be released upto episode 100.

Good news, can't wait to grab 'em. Thanks for the explanations. Might get the Opus version next time. So I'll wait for the batch. Thank you very much, for all of your effort and time you spend up til now.
