Amuro1X : Something like 90% of anime that were on TV are upscales. Most of the time if you see a difference (in a 3 times bigger file) it’s just because it’s closer to the source thanks to the filesize.
I still prefer 1080 at all times, upscale or not. I always go with “the bigger, the better.”
However, I’m just putting my opinion out there. Not complaining, especially since I was looking forward to it. So like everyone else, I also thank you guys.
Why exactly? It just boosts the file size with no increase in video quality. If you make your player go full screen it does the same exact thing without doubling or tripling the file size.
There is one difference (for me is a big one).
Thats a subtitle resolution, meaning if video is 720p even with hardware (or software) scaling to 1080p the subtitles will be less sharp.
Not gonna go in tech details, but thats the case, if original video is 720p subtitles will have less pixels compared to 1080p source.
Upscaling in general if no subtitles involved I’d rather do through my equipment. It produces sometimes better results then Blu-Ray upscales that is being done commercially (they still conserve the bandwidth in some cases).
just my 2 cents
I hate to tell you this, but unless the subtitles are hardsubs their size isn’t dependent on the video resolution. We don’t vary the size of the subs for 480p, 720p, and 1080p. Your player varies the size of the subs based on how large the window is. Say 720p uses 12 point at native resolution. If you bump that up to full screen on a 1080p monitor it doesn’t just enlarge the text. It changes it to 14 point. The numbers aren’t accurate, but it should give you an idea how softsubs work. I’d hate to see a 720p or 1080p release with 12 point text.
Totally prefer 1080p, will wait til someone releases it, and btw i don’t mind if it’s an upscale or if it weigh’s more, i just want 1080p, and thanks to pitchblack i does look way good.

Just curious, why is 1080p not worth it? Is it just an upscale?
Thanks for the release, btw.
