first of all i thank the_E_y_Es for his help. he spotted and marked lot of spots for me, which i could fix in return.
this is a re-encode of my original release, since the source/MPEG2 stream is not available anymore. this is a huge improvement over the original video and as before a lot better than the BD source.
this encode is not completely issue free and perfect. not all of the MPEG2/WMV artifacts could be fixed completely without damaging other areas of the video. the video is still quite dirty in places and not all spots have been fixed. tbh one could probably sit on this for an eternity and won't be able to fix them all.
Video:
- Several 1000 frames (severely damaged by MPEG2/WMV artifacts) were restored (per frame)
- Several 100.000 spots on several 10.000 of frames were removed and fixed (per frame)
- Frames edges were fixed (per scene)
- Remnants of the Logo have been removed
- Colour and range correction have been made (red/yellow tints etc.) (per scene)
- Some combing remnants were fixed
- Heavy sharpening artifacts were removed as good as possible (ringing/haloing)
- Chroma bleeding has been fixed
- Everything was cleaned up to remove encoding artifacts
- Everything was stabilised
- Banding was removed (per scene)
- Frames were matched to the BD source (audio matches properly now)
Audio:
- Japanese audio: Sourced from a DTS-HD MA track
- Japanese audio: Cut to make it properly sync with the video (bad mastering, BD audio wasn't in sync on the BD)
- Japanese audio: A missing dialogue line was added
- Japanese audio: The original Japanese ending theme was re-inserted (U2's "One Minute Warning" replaced with "Reincarnation")
- English audio: Sourced from the 6.1 DTS-ES track instead of the UK BD's DTS-HD MA track because of severe mastering problems, same problems on the US DTS stream
- English audio: Problems were missing sound effects and bad mixing (more infos [here](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2896004) and [here](http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?p=9829688#post9829688))
Subtitle:
- The opening Sign was redone
