Thank you for downloading our encode. This anime is so demanding that the CR WEB-DL alone is unwatchable in a lot of scenes. This encode merges multiple available CR sources together, which should make it much more palatable. Also because we need all available CR sources to make the encode, this release will always be 4 weeks behind airing. **[Himejoshi] Jirai Alert:** Early episodes contain explicit hetero relationship. The anime hasn't been fully aired yet, so we can't say about how much yuri there is. However, [per *Mikami Teren*](https://needygirl-anime.com/theater/comment/), if you have a well-trained [yuri lens](https://x.com/itirin_no/status/1552957288532430850), it should be a fairly good anime to watch. Thanks to **绿茶字幕组** for their excellent **简繁日双语** fansubs. Thanks to Un----ed for their official English subtitles with better typesetting. Hope you enjoy this intense but heartwarming anime. ---  --- This is a medium effort filtering and encoding for *NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE*. **slow.pics compare:** [https://slow.pics/c/ThFixBbw](https://slow.pics/c/ThFixBbw) The CR bitrate is not enough to properly record this anime. But luckily there are three different CR sources available for this anime, which makes this encode possible. For the episode, we apply a `vsdenoise.frequency_merge` with a custom adder in the higher frequencies. For the OP, we Lehmer merge all the available episodes together. During the merge for the episode, we apply a basic AA via `vsaa.based_aa`, and a weaker dehalo via `vsdehalo.dehalo_alpha` protected by a `bilateral` based protection on the lower frequencies itself to protect the noise from these operations. After the merge, we apply a base deband via `vsdeband.pfdeband` using `placebo_deband`. This should be able to addresse the occasional strong banding in the source. In the encoding, we apply a very strong layer of fine noise on top of the image. The main reason is that even after the merge, flashback scenes and alike still look terrible without a heavy layer of grain. We choose a very fine noise because we think it fits the general feeling of this anime. We use the latest May 26 version of 5fish/SVT-AV1-PSY for this encode. We target a filesize around the same as source, which is about enough to deliver a rather high quality encode. We use `--crf 19.60 --lineart-psy-bias 3 --texture-psy-bias 6 --psy-bias-optimize-b 1` for the encode. In some specific sections like the ED of episode 03, we manually zone the section and encode using different parameters to not go too overboard. Thanks to all the people creating the tools, plugins and vsfunc's that make this possible, and thanks to everyone in the community for teaching me, pointing out issues, and giving me advice.
