We have encoded the whole series of OVERLORD, including our rework for Season 1. The rework mainly enhances the methods of line processing, and further deals with colour banding and noise.

The source quality is almost the same throughout the series, which is average in general and with a native resolution of 720p. Despite this, there are still 2 points bothering us: lines with strong aliasing and haloing (caused by upscaling) and heavy colour banding in some scenes. To fix them, we adopted descaling and reconstruction, then moderate de-banding, compensatory sharpening and adaptive denoising.

Season 1 has much heavier colour banding as well as complicated unsightly noise. These issues are particularly obvious in EP 6 and 7. Maybe due to production mistakes, extremely heavy colour banding is present throughout these two EPs. Some occasional cases are also found in other episodes. We accordingly increased our de-banding intensity, and then replaced the intractable noise with higher intensity of dynamic grains, to improve the viewing experience. For particularly severe colour banding, we performed more aggressive de-banding. The second pair of screenshots are for your reference.

Besides, severe chroma aliasing is present in some clips of Season 1, such as 5m51s~5m58s in EP 13. As the result, the black lines are not just black but surrounded by colourful aliasing. We guess this is coming from the improper chroma subsampling at 720p resolution during production. Unfortunately, this issue always comes with traditional Madhouse RGB shift effects at the same time, and the fact that it only happens occasionally makes it more difficult to troubleshoot and fix. Therefore, we only selected and processed particularly severe cases. The third pair of screenshots are for your reference.

Noise and colour banding issues are much improved in Season 2. However, lines in some clips are not smoothed well, resulting in very serious raw binary aliasing. We processed the line connection for these clips. The seventh pair of screenshots are for your reference.

Season 3 finally gets rid of all those nightmares above. The processing for movies is the same as Season 1, with a slight bitrate increase. OAD and flash animations are simple, so no need to elaborate.
