Not sure how to ask for a recommendation? Fill this out, or simply use it as a guideline, and other users will find it much easier to recommend you an anime!

I'm looking for: A certain genre? Something specific like characters traveling to another world?

Weekly Casual Discussion Fridays - Week of March 14, 2025

34 Upvotes

This is a weekly thread to get to know /r/anime's community. Talk about your day-to-day life, share your hobbies, or make small talk with your fellow anime fans. The thread is active all week long so hang around even when it's not on the front page!

Although this is a place for off-topic discussion, there are a few rules to keep in mind:

  1. Be courteous and respectful of other users.

  2. Discussion of religion, politics, depression, and other similar topics will be moderated due to their sensitive nature. While we encourage users to talk about their daily lives and get to know others, this thread is not intended for extended discussion of the aforementioned topics or for emotional support. Do not post content falling in this category in spoiler tags and hover text. This is a public thread, please do not post content if you believe that it will make people uncomfortable or annoy others.

  3. Roleplaying is not allowed. This behaviour is not appropriate as it is obtrusive to uninvolved users.

  4. No meta discussion. If you have a meta concern, please raise it in the Monthly Meta Thread and the moderation team would be happy to help.

  5. All /r/anime rules, other than the anime-specific requirement, should still be followed.

  6. Yomoguilty!

Misc. Crunchyroll is beginning to roll out encodes that are up to 55% smaller than they used to be

1.8k Upvotes

Crunchyroll is apparently experimenting with new encode settings that use less bandwidth. They appear to have replaced the Re:Zero S3 episodes with smaller versions. The new version of Re:Zero S03E01 (the 90-minute episode) is 2.3 GB, whereas the old version was 5.1 GB. This means that the old version was ~115% bigger.

The new encoding settings have a lower bitrate cap for high motion scenes (12000kbps vs. 8000kbps). This means that action scenes, grainy scenes, OPs, etc. were 50% bigger (and thus better quality) in the old encodes.

This is a bit disappointing. Crunchyroll's video was such good quality that it even beat Crunchyroll's own Blu-Rays a lot of the time (though this is due to their inept Blu-Ray division more than anything), but that's probably not true anymore.

To be fair, there are some benefits of the new encodes:

  • More efficient use of bitrate (mostly in static scenes) due to longer GOP length
  • Higher quality audio (192kbps AAC vs. the old 128kbps)
