[Himejoshi] Kimi wo Tsumugu - Anime PV (WEB 1080p AV1)

This is a very sweet and high quality anime short from the creator of *Kimi wo Tsumugu*, *Kurihara Sakura*. We merge multiple YouTube sources together to create this higher quality encode. And as usual, we restyle and retime the subtitles to fit the theme of this show. Hope you enjoy! ---  --- This is a high effort filtering and encoding for *Kimi wo Tsumugu Anime PV*. **slow.pics compare:** [https://slow.pics/c/pK58QeIp](https://slow.pics/c/pK58QeIp) We collect all the available YouTube sources, and then `vsdenoise.frequency_merge` specifically 400, 401, 271, 313, and a `vsdenoise.deblock_qed` deblocked 137 with a custom adder in higher frequencies. This should give a much better quality as a start. After that, we use a very protective `MVTools` to somewhat stabilise the unstable temporal details which seems to be an issue with these YouTube sources. At last, we apply a medium strength deband via `vsdeband.pfdeband` with `placebo_deband` to remove the bandings. For encode, it seems like 5fish/SVT-AV1-PSY can preserve the lineart here more faithfully at the same filesize, so we use Jun 17 version of 5fish/SVT-AV1-PSY for this encode. We use a high quality `--crf 11.00` for this encode. Other parameters includes `--lineart-psy-bias 7 --texture-psy-bias 7` with `--satd-bias 0.50` to further encourage the encoder to faithfully retain the lineart, and `--dlf-bias-max-dlf 2,0 --dlf-sharpness 7 --texture-cdef-max-cdef 0,0,0,0` to limit the encoder but still try to let it deal with some of the mosquito noise in the source. For the film grain layer, we apply a less visible layer of medium size noise onto the video. 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.
