Clockwork Planet / クロックワーク・プラネット BDRip
10-bit 1080p HEVC + FLAC，MKV format. ~ 1.3 GB / EP.

The original source has fair quality, with sharp pictures and many textural details. We can see Xebec spent effort in creating the CG drawings, dark scenes and a 24fps ED. Unfortunately, the sharp edges have significant aliasing in both luma and chroma planes, making non-destructive anti-aliasing challenging. The strong and fine film grain has also made it difficult for x265 to encode the anime at an acceptable bitrate. To tackle the problems, we adopted a hybrid anti-aliasing approach combining traditional and non-conventional techniques, and operated under the YUV444 color space. The approach repaired most chroma aliasing and without damaging the sharp colored edges. Meanwhile, a tailored grain processing procedure was formulated, which achieved a good balance between picture style preservation and bitrate saving. Based on a previous encode released by Lolihouse, we adjusted anti-aliasing strength of the luma plane to better preserve FHD details, and optimized x265’s parameters alongside.
