Sword Art Online (Manga UK and Madman AU) Overall a very solid release, high bitrates and minimal compression artifacts from what I've heard (don't hold me to it- this is just what I was told)
Occultic;Nine Lots of compression artifacts due to poor optimizations (3 episodes per disc and on BD-25s with only 12! GB used on each disc)
Nisekoi (Seasons 1 and 2) Piss poor bitrates (averages 10 mbps), has 12 episodes per disc, and has subtitles out of sync
Wasn't Occultic;Nine a clone of the Aniplex disc (excluding the menus, which Manga created), considering that Manga authored discs can't show more than 1 line of subtitles at the same time? If so, I may mark it as a green.
As for Nisekoi, I may mark it as either green or orange, as I've read that this is one of Kaze's better releases, but I'll see what everyone else thinks. Plus, Season 1 was 10 episodes per disc, not 12, and Season 2 was 6 episodes per disc.
And as for Sword Art Online, based on Just Passing Through's review, I may mark it as red instead, as I've read that there are subtitling issues (it was a Manga authored disc that can't show more than one caption at a time), poorly placed chapter stops, and most of the Sword Art Offline shorts are missing, and some of the ones that are included have been slowed down by 50%.
EDIT: I've read on another forum that some of us are members of, and Naiera (not a member of AUKN, if I'm correct) and Scavenger confirmed that it's not the Aniplex encode. So who authored it if it doesn't have the telltale signs of a Manga author (the subtitle font is the exact same one used in most AoA releases)? It's worth noting that Madman didn't release their sets until after the UK (they even used the UK discs with the BBFC rating and Manga logo (the Madman logo and ACB rating are absent)).
I may note Occultic;Nine as either green or orange, as Just Passing Through didn't notice any problems with the transfer in his reviews.
