Audio sounds pretty bad on hi-fi headphones, I'm getting a lot of artifacting during some "busy" scenes and some dialogue sounds tinny. Which AAC encoder did you use? For 192 kbps or lower you shouldn't be using anything except the Apple encoder. 256 is probably the minimum for other AAC encoders.
If you used the Apple encoder then I guess the source was just mixed/engineered really bad? Not unusual for TV/broadcast anime but this just seems really off.
Really though, seems strange to not just have it be FLAC or passthru from BD (e.g. if Dolby Digital) when the video files are so huge already.
edit: I just realized this is AVC and not HEVC. You need to put the codec in the torrent name. And your mediainfo barf panel is wrong. It's wrong about the audio too. I expected HEVC video with Dolby AC-3 audio and I got AVC with AAC which was possibly re-encoded from a lossy source resulting in generational loss, which would explain my audio issues. It's making me feel like I wasted my time.
edit 2 hours later: You randomly switch to HEVC/Dolby starting at episode 2 of season 2. Suffice it to say I am very confused about your release-project philosophy. This is very non-standard. People that collect and archive high-quality releases really don't like codec-mixing within the same show or series of movies.
@nph -- I don;t care about video or audio (I grew up watching betamax/vhs double or triple copied tapes from japan --so anything better then that is good to me)
I fix subs
someone can VERY easily download some raws and use my subs
encoding some video is the simplest thing
redoing the subs actually takes time
if you are a encoding nazi -- my releases aren't really for you
