[◯PMan] Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry Creditless Openings & Ending (BD 1080p FLAC)

 BD quality is surprisingly okay, given that the files are smaller than average. The lack of bitrate has caused very ugly dynamic compression noise to be formed, however, which eats away at the encode's bitrate if left unchecked. The OPs are big because of constantly moving textures, while the ED is big because of a lot of particles and constantly moving backgrounds. All files were encoded with lower-than-usual crf and aq-strength to prevent the textures from being goomba'd. For the OP, filterchain includes masked rescaling (b=0.2, c=0.4) with a sharp FSRCNNX upscale (and a min pass to grab the darkest pixels between it and the source clip, SMD for grain stabilisation, masked DFT to nuke just the black letterboxes, as that's where the compression noise ate most of the bitrate for no benefit, CCD to fix up the heavy chroma noise, and decsize to shave off a bit more filesize without noticeable detail loss. AA was also applied to just the logo, and a weak masked deband was passed to help smooth over the denoised letterboxes further. Since there's a lot of still frames in this OP, I also used freezeframes and a mean average to get the mean average quality of a scene and freezeframe it in place. This helps a lot because the noise ate into some textures from time to time, resulting in occasional starved frames. The ED filtering is fairly similar, but a lot more basic. Masked rescale, SMD, CCD, decsize, and a weak masked deband. Furthermore, the fade at the end of the ED was very starved, so I replaced it with my own fade. It doesn't match *exactly*, but it's close enough to not matter. Requests are welcome, but don't count on me to follow through with yours from the get-go.
