The image quality of the source is a long story. It’s not good even in its days. The lines in Season 1 are blurry, with lots of aliasing and dashed characteristic. Besides, the intersection of lines features strange dot-crawl. Season 2 has similar artifacts except for obvious banding. As for Season 3, the lines artifacts remain the same and more serious. The image covers heavy noise as well. Season 4 comes with better image quality, with only slight aliasing and banding. In the first three Seasons, the lines were repaired and moderately darkened, and artifacts like banding were dealt with. Denoising was applied to Season 3 to control bitrate. We adopted anti-aliasing and de-banding for Season 4 as a matter of routine. Four sets of screenshots per season.

The trick to encoding the first 3 seasons is to just use the DVDs instead. The BDs were QTEC’d and are borderline unusable lol. S4 is a native HD production, so the BDs are fine for that.

Minami-ke Betsubara has vertical stripes all over the video.

Broken Frame in Minami-ke Okawari episode 5

Strangely, moozzi and ohys have the same thing

Thanks for the BDs!
Shame about some problems on BD, but it seems to be a one frame only for Episode 5 and OAD?
I wonder if this is a production issue :|
