Sekai Meisaku Gekijou Kanketsu Ban: Ai Shoujo Pollyanna Story Part 1

We're back at it. This time we're tackling Pollyanna Story. Yet another orphan girl, however this time our Protagonist gets to go live with her Aunt Polly out in Vermont. I'll be releasing these in sets of 10 like I did last time, aside from the final release which will contain 11 episodes to finish it off. They'll be released as we get things done. As far as the OCR process this time it was pretty straight forward this time. No major curve balls tossed at me this time. Single color and an easy to read font. The Translation isn't the worst we've dealt with, but not the best either. Thankfully the DVDs include Japanese subtitles. They've helped Darkonius make some sense of the insanity. We did consider redoing the OP and ED, but decided to leave it alone. To much extra work. Now on to the encoding. To be blunt it's been hell. The Dvds aren't the best. To start with they're tossing 4 or 5 episodes onto a DVD5. Dot crawl is a big issue. Even in the old encodes you could see it. I did manage to clean it up. I decided what little grain we had was worth the trade off. Took quite a bit if trail and error to finally find a set of filters that actually worked. I wound up with a temporal denoiser/degrain combo to fix it. None of the normal dot crawl filters seemed to do anything. Also added a light de-rainbow filter to fix the bit of rainbow it had. Nothing major. However That was only for the first 15 episodes. Starting with episode 16 they switched from 30 FPS Interlaced to VFR Progressive for reasons I do not know. They did manage an overall improvement on the Image quality, but they introduced a lot of frame blending. That was a pain to solve. Mostly it was just finding the right settings to reduce judder. A lot more Trial and error
