- Initial D second stage, put through software to reduce the video noise and some artifacts.
- The process is not perfect, some places may still contain noise and grain or over-sharpening, please accept my apology.
- Some CG scenes in the season contain aliasing and moire, I may revisit this in the future when the technology has improved.
- The source video is taken from ‘Initial D complete series 1080p’ from nyaa.si.
- The video is encoded with H.265 codec, which provides higher quality than the H.264 that I used in the First stage.
- Please enjoy! If you are finding the process has ‘ruined’ your beautiful 90’s aesthetic, you may still download or stream the original.
- Video is in MKV format, included English + Japanese audio and English subtitles. You may have to select track manually in your video player.
- My internet is very slow, please accept my apology!

This is a reencode; mark it as red so that it’s obvious it should be avoided

Why should reencodes be avoided?

This is great, thank you. Will you be looking at de-noising and de-artifying other older series?
Gradius
@Qualia Because they are RETARD. There is NOTHING wrong if really improves over the original.

Hmm, just saw it… h265 and over 3GB per EP.

Congrats, you destroyed it, the rain is gone, there is a fuckton of artifacting, and even managed to bloat it up even whilst using H265.
This shit should be considered a meme release if anything.

-3.5gb per episode
Is this a joke?
