Improved visual quality via AI enhancement.
The files are primarily based on the available “Russian version” for the video, and the “g01ngf0rward” for the audio in English.
The challenge has been… of biblical proportions: the best defining word is “inconsistency”. Inconsistency of video quality, of types video of artifacts, progressive or interlaced (implying de-interlacing), interlaced saved as progressive! Inconsistencies of frame rates (video copies are in 25fps, while audio ones in 29.97, so I had reinterpret them and sync them individually), of pixel aspects (even within the same video!), of editing (different copies carry different lengths for the commercial pauses), of languages, of labeling (every season had misordered/mislabelled episodes), and so on. Some I had to address in each video, some on individual seasons, and some just in unique episodes.
It was nightmare.
My priority was… the animation portions per se; for these to be as consistent and enjoyable as I could get them to be. For example, some sections might look stretched, but they’re NOT from the animation per se.
Even though the deinterlacing is not perfect, there are minor artifacts here and there (especially in season 3, there’s some odd “moire” in certain fragments of the frame, I wasn’t able to mitigate more from the original), I believe this is the most sharp and faithful copy of the original series available. It’s not perfect, but it’s most definitely consistent and enjoyable.
On top of it, the size is very much reasonable for the quality. Since it’s a very “flat” (in terms of textures) cartoon, there’s much to gain by tinkering with the bitrate.
Resolution: 1440x1112 (with the exception of some directly widescreen episodes on the 5th season)
Video bitrate: 2mbps
Framerate: 25fps
Audio language: English

This is a self-funded, self-managed endeavor that starts out as a natural response to the limited quality of certain not so popular content. Like you, I've been a torrent user for years, and just today it happens I have something of relative value to offer the community. I have very limited storage and I won't be able to seed uninterruptedly, so more than ever, considering the niche aspect of many of the tiles I might bring, please, SEED.
I'm only present here on 1337x, as Juniper909, and if you wanna support me through PayPal, I'm more than thankful. But moreover, even a supporting comment makes my day : )
