For those of you with huge collections of anime (100gb+), how

>>152374635
Cool story brah. People mainly still download 720p versions.

>>152374635
>4096x2160
Not interested.

But anime is produced generally in 720p, no magic will make anything not in a special resolution like Hyouka look any better.

I have a 4k tv and i keep watching stuff in full hd, the difference is not worth the filesize

>>152374949
Correction, it's streamed to Japanese TVs at 720p. The original footage can be whatever resolution since animators use vectors which scale infinitely.

Perfectly fine with a 1440p monitor and 720p chinese cartoons, so I don't care.

>>152374987
>mastering resolution
learn it

>>152374635
anime peaks at 720p above that is a waste of space

>>152374635
99% of people aren't going to replace their collection for upscaled images. 1080p unless they actually animate aimed at 4K quality there's no point in using it. 4K is really for IRL shit and other 3D shit at this point.

>>152374635
>huge
>(100gb+)

100GBs is like less than 10 shows with 25 episodes each, all encoded at 720p .h264 8bit. That's a small collection. Most people I know have at least 750GB to a terabyte. Raise your bar

>>152375871
Mostly, but it sometimes depends. Watching Redline at 1080 was great

>>152374987
>>The original footage can be whatever resolution since animators use vectors which scale

This is patently false.

>>152374635
Baka over half of my collection isn't even 720p. Anime will always be behind on technology same as game consoles. By the time I get a 4k TV you'll be asking me why I don't have a 20k TV.

>>152374987
>since animators use vectors which scale infinitely.

Although there are vectorization techniques out there, that's not something animators use as they aren't precise. Also, backgrounds are plain textures, so they can't scale up indefinitely.

>>152375875
When can I expect my chinese cartoons to look like this?

>>152374635
ANIME IS HIGHLY COMPRESSIBLE SO YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH VERY LOW FILESIZES EVEN AT 4K AND ESPECIALLY ENCODED WITH HEVC

I have around 500 episodes of anime and thats under 55gb, and that's my unsorted folder.

Stop getting placebo 1:1 rips of anime, its retarded,

Download an episode at 720p and 1080p and if there is no change in quality when you switch back and forth, keep the 720p, hell, there is a significant amount that never went above 480p in quality scaling, japan has notoriously bad archiving.

also, get hi10 encodes, saves a fuckload of space for minimal quality difference at worst, to higher quality at higher resolutions with lower file sizes at best.

>>152374635
As far as I know, there are no new anime currently being released in 4k. Any existing digital age anime future-released in 4k will be upscales, and most likely inferior upscales to what MadVR can accomplish.
4k releases of analog-age anime might be nice, though, as will future new anime mastered in 4k, whenever that happens. I think it'll be a long time before that happens, though, since there are very few anime being released even today at full 1080p.
>>152375871
Incorrect. Many anime every season are released at a resolution above 720p. The Japanese website Anibin publishes the resolution of every anime released every season. If Anibin tags an anime as HV1280+ then it's worth it to download any 1080p versions of it.

>>152377577
>Also, backgrounds are plain textures, so they can't scale up indefinitely.
Handpainted backgrounds can be scanned at whatever resolution you want, but most anime nowadays use digital backgrounds, so that's not an option.

>>152377714
>I think there will be no more than 8k tv
I honestly doubt we will move to 8k for any other reason then the difference in panel cost is so negligible that it would make more sense to go 8k if only for when you have one or two pixels fuck up its almost impossible to see, as even for the smallest living rooms, 4k is already retardedly overkill outside of projectors.

>>152374635
Unless they do true remasters to 4k or remaster the fucking darkened areas, there is no reason to replace shit.

>>152377807
I agree completly.

>>152374635
I would probably need to add a few terabytes, and maybe I would be forced to upgrade a processor on my streaming server.

graphics tablets are a thing, and given how anime reuses the same eyes and gestures a lot, it'd save a lot more money to reuse those layers.

>>152377745
>I have around 500 episodes of anime and thats under 55gb, and that's my unsorted folder.
Wh-what? Average HS 720p release is 0.34gb so you'd atleast hit 40gb if you finished 10 shows at the end of a season.

>>152374635
4k is a meme resolution.

>>152378298

>>152374635

Because everything will get a 4k remaster right? Probably half of my collection are still DVD quality and another half of that would see no benefit at all getting a remaster since everything in the mid 2000s SD quality is literally the best quality you can get.

>>152378247
>How are people still this ignorant?
Get with the times, in 5 years all anime will be made exclusively on computers, and in another 10 years they will all be full CGI.

>>152378261
That would be awful. Do you want all anime to look like Family Guy?

>>152378298
Flac is unnecessary bloat and should be used for archiving and reencoding to a lossy file, not for playback.

I wish Japan would start pumping out waifu2x upscales of digital-era 480p anime right now. We'd get benefit from that right now while PCs are still too slow to do realtime waifu2x upscaling.

>>152378380
family guy is better animated than most anime. anime artists try to do as little as they can to keep costs down.

Hearing the difference now isn't the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is 'lossy'. What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA - it's about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.

I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange…well don’t get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren’t stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you’ll be glad you did.

>>152378298
Flac is a meme for most cases. But 1:1 is superior if everything else is the same.
So if you have HD TV, then 720p will be superior to 1080p and vice versa.

>>152378425
>family guy is better animated than most anime.

FLAC is the only logical format for archival. Newer, superior lossy formats will be developed in the future. When that happens, it'll be good to have FLAC audio archived to convert it to the new lossy hotness. It's obviously unwise to convert from lossy to lossy.

Are you high or something? Why the hell do you want to convert the lossless format to lossy? You already have a perfect quality. Any lossy format, no matter how efficient, will be worse by definition.
It's just hardly anyone would benefit from lossless audio if something like 192 kbps AAC is available.

First of, "4K" is a marketing term, as demonstrated by your pic. And even films mastered at "4K" are downscaled to 1080p. Secondly, higher resolution transfers/animation won't make lower resolution suddenly absolute. Many shows like, say, Texhnolyze and WttNKH, aren't even available above SD transfer quality, and yet are perfectly watchable nonetheless. And then there's the fact no anime is drawn resolutions higher than 1080, so adopting higher resolution isn't going to happen. Also, the Industry can't even move to higher fps animation of 24 fps, nor even hope to reach 60fps. The Industry is stagnant, and "4K" will only come as a marketing gimmicking at most.

>>152378425
I admittedly still watch Family Guy, but fuck no. The animation has diminished so damn much to the point that anime as a whole is more expressive. A lot of the time it even resorts to tweens, especially noticeable in slower movements. The CG is even worse than anime. If being fluid, but puppet-like is good to you, then whatever. I might take you seriously if you were talking about The Simpsons, which actually is more expressive, even when it became HD

>>152378261
Graphics tablets still produce a raster image. Vector are is still a very, very niche field. Ever notice how 4chan doesn't even support SVG uploads?.

Vector graphics require shapes to be created procedurally, which is not how artists think or do. I've never even seen so much as a vector webcomic.

>>152378718
Are you fucking retarded? Try doing a blind test between FLAC and a lossy file like opus at, say 192kbps.

>Why the hell do you want to convert the lossless format to lossy?

There's reasons. It'll be a positive for the anime world if people have FLAC audio archived when new, superior lossy formats surface.

how do you know

>>152378790
This anon is correct. They've done studies on this. 192kbps mp3 is the threshold for audibility of difference between lossy and lossless. It's still wise to archive lossless audio, though, since there may come a day where a superior file format can achieve transparency at a lower bitrate. Opus might be able to do it already, and I'm sure there will come along a file format better than Opus.

>>152378312
yea, they are that big, I don't keep horrible sub rips, i go for hi10, then move over to the dvd/bluray for really good ones, and for the mediocre ones that are good enough to keep i just leave it at the broadcast version.

the difference between hi10 and higher bit rate anime is negligible at worst, unnoticeable at best, even when comparing the same scenes.

really, the only parts that stand out for me are when a broadcast has fast movement and ghosting is an issue, made gurren lagann unwatchable for me for quite a while, and when they turn brightness and contrast down for scenes, only potential fix for that is bluray/dvd releases, and if it's going to be shit quality, id rather the file size not be bloated.

>>152379043
Try doing an ABX test.

>>152378174
Because studios are inter-dependent (that's why they went full digital rendering in the early-2000, a bit late compared to the rest of the world, they needed to be coordinated in the evolution), they can't easily go full digital drawing with the chain of work. Also it needs rehabilitation of the animator's skill (learning the soft, getting used to tablet and shit). And money for that stuff.

>>152378790
Either my ESL-ness is showing, or you managed to misinterpret my post completely. I think it's the latter.
I agree with you. The hi-quality lossy codec is as good as lossless in most cases.
But if you already have the version with lossless audio, converting it to lossy is pointless.
>>152378996
It's fine if you plan to produce better releases in the future. But it makes zero sense if you're just an average consumer.
And if we are talking about mobile devices, lossy to lossy will work just fine. I can't think of any case when you have access to hi-quality sound with minimal background noise on mobile.

>>152378790

There's also the possibility of a future quantum leap in audio reproduction technology occurring. 192 kbps mp3 is the threshold for audibility of difference between lossy and lossless with current technology, but what if a future quantum leap in audio reproduction technology means that the average person can suddenly hear a difference between FLAC and 192 kbps mp3? People will be glad they archived lossless audio if and when this possibility occurs.

>>152378721
Why the pic related?

As for TEXHNOLYZE and SD anime, I think the main problem is the old encoding that don't retain a good quality. The fact that the anime is a bit blurry when fullscreen on an HD screen is a shame, but like you said it's still watchable. And I doubt the screen will go much bigger than they are, FHD has already tiny points for pixels, so on a same size screen, 4K will not change much of the blur of a SD anime.

And on a big TV, you usually watch from a distance.

192kbps mp3 is indistinguishable from FLAC in blind tests even on really good audio reproduction equipment that reproduces up to 20 kHz well, despite the hi-freq mp3 cutoff. It's counter-intuitive, but that's what the blind test studies show.

Nigga please. Also, who says all anime will be at that res? Most doesn't even come in full HD.

On the 4k, just wait until codecs catch up. AV1 sounds very interesting and HEVC is already here. I might buy a 4k TV late this year or the next for the sole reason that my current TV is being a bitch shutting itself off randomly.

no, my on hardrive collection of sorted is little under 7000 files and little over 1tb, Im just calling the person who said 250 episodes is hundreds of gb's a moron got going for 1:1 rips when you can get a 95% quality encode for 1/20th the file size.

Do something like pic related. Sub groups are unbelievably retarded by putting their name before the series title. That shit should belong at the end of the string, I don't remember who subs them, I remember the series title. On a similar note, it's the same shit with eromango titles, putting the event first instead of the group or artist.

It's all 720p though because I am unable to tell a difference.

I don't archive anime because it's pointless. I can't see myself ever rewatching more than a couple of series per year since I have finite free time and I also follow new anime. For those just redownload whatever is best quality currently and keep them afterwards.

For the truly liked series you should always support the creators and buy BDs or whatever 4K equivalents to come out. I don't even have a 4K monitor and I'm sure 99% of /a/ doesn't either.

I always download in 1080p to ensure that all my videos are future-proof. If you archive files in 720p, you are gimping yourself when you purchase a new monitor (say, a 4k monitor) as it will not upscale correctly and will result in black borders.

yea, sure, looking at it in the store up close no fucking shit, and when a 1080p is right next to it to try and upsell the 4k, yea, it looks better.

Then you get home, put it in your entertainment center, and sit a good 7 feet away from it, there is no discernible difference between it and 1080p, and at that distance and around 60 inches, you are hard pressed to see the difference between 1080 and 720. I mean sure if you live in a trailer park and have absolutely no room, your ass sitting only a few feet if that from a 50~ inch, sure, you can see a difference, but I live in a house, and most people live in apartments, the rooms are big enough that you need 100+ inch to get passed 1080p looking good and into 4k being a necessity.

4k is 2 1080 tall and wide, it is also 3 720 tall and wide, it scales both resolutions pixel perfect, unlike 720 to 1080 and 1080 to 1440 (720 does scale perfect to that resolution though)

a good gpu and processing can make it look good, but it is very hard to beat pixel perfect scaling.

I only get the occasional movie in 1080, most anime are not drawn for 1080 resolution yet. As for 4k, well that's still 5+ years away from even hitting broadcast television. I watch animu on a 27" monitor and it's not a 4K screen so as yet I have absolutely no need to worry.

Call me when they start doing 4K BD releases or TV broadcasts at that resolution. I already have 7TB of animu, just means I need to get more drives.

How many of you even keep the 60GB BDs? I aim for movies of about 90min:5gb ratio, decent quality even on a 60" TV, going for the 90min:10gb still seems like overkill.

>>152385905

I lie in bed and watch TV/animu. My ass gets sore if I sit still for 3+ hours, so much more comfortable in bed. If I had a better step up of a proper lounge chair with leg rest it would be great but that's a $1000 chair and too heavy to use the way I want (constant movement from desk/distance to fold out).

Even if they re-release 4K versions of those old anime, they'll just be shitty upscales. Who gives a shit

100GB is fuck all really

>>152391373
To be honest since every year amounts to roughly 1.5 TB these days, you can just buy a 2TB on an arbitrary day each year.

>>152388166

We've come a long fucking way from the 35mb rmvb episodes I used to hunt down on kazaa and limewire. Those burgeoning years of DSL and the rapid technological change was amazing. Never again to be worried that some asshole would use the phone and ruin a few hours worth of downloading that few meg file. Even 10 years ago 100gb wouldn't have been a huge haul, I was lugging a 500GB external around by then. At least there will always be archivists out there, saving everything in multiple locations to store away. one day maybe I will have that mythological capability to store 'everything' locally, but for now 30TB is too damn much even spread across 2 towers.

Does anyone do some sort of home server set ups with the poormans method (cheap box, PCIe cards to expand number of SATA ports and used as a NAS). Is somehow getting a rack in the house better? I'm more of a storage guy, I have no interest in heavy computing power, I just want to archive fucking everything.

>>152391373
I have 2TB and I only handpick like ~5 a season and delete the trash shows. Granted this is bloated by movies that are 10GB a pop.

>>152391405
Where do you put all those drives anon

>>152391474

I'm fine with deleting shows that come out every season since they aren't the final finished version, I usually archive the BDs if I liked them enough the only exceptions are if it doesn't look good in BD or it hasn't been released on that format yet.

Then again I have a file hording problem and could easily fill up a 2TB with higher end quality anime and anime films the day I get it.

>>152391467

Not that anon but I would use Real Player to download off of shitty streaming sites and direct download. What a fool I was.

>>152391527

How?

>>152391496
Just put them on a rack? I mean larger desktop cases have 6-8 internal HDD slots anyway. Presuming you buy 6 TB HDDs instead of 2 TB HDDs, you're looking at 6*6/1.5 = 24 years of current anime blu-ray sizes. By that time, we'll have like 100 TB hard drives and anime might be out of business.

>>152391564

There's a lot of early 00s series which got fucked over during the digital switch over and just don't look all that good in BD.

>>152391571
>anime might be out of business.
I wonder what degenerate entertainment will be popular by then.

>>152391703
Sexbots, DMMOs fuck physics IMAGINATION, or WWIII.

>>152391571

This. My internal has 8 SATA ports. Other than the SSD all drives are 2TB+, I have 17TB of storage locally with many more drives else where (for TV/mainsteam material). The core issue is slowly updating with 4/6/8 as a drive reaches full (or reaches 3~ years old). My Mobo was in the $250 price range, so if you've gone for something in the $50 range you'll have 4 ports at best. Always the option of buying drives and using a dock. HDDs are only getting more and more reliable (in my experience, had no internal drives die in the last 6 years while in operation, whilst 2 external have died at the 5 year old mark). Granted I've used WD greens/reds for a while, so I've always seen them as low activity drives for purely storage functions. Just make sure you keep a record of what you have.

>>152391773
It's always a good idea to keep a file table of some sort or even just a plain listing / tagging scheme that lets your sort by year, by name, by genre, etc.

>>152391887

My memory is still good enough to see a series name and start the recall process of what it was and how I felt about it. But I've always been interested into some sort of program that you can index a folder/drive and do that sort of tagging. Not something that has to look up some website for it's information, but a glorified excel with better interface, that can pull folder names and contents, dump some meta data (length, file type, name) and then allow user to add other tags (year, genre).

>>152391703

Faux nerd trend will have died out in the western countries, VR and some form of cyber punk and grunge will be popular, Otaku culture will rise in the west but it'll be similar to how Capeshit started to get big in 07/08 with the Gits and Death Note adaptations.

>>152375871
>>152377745
Just stream if you're going to download your anime in 720p anyway. It doesn't take up space on your hard drive, it doesn't take time to download, and it's not impossible to find seeders if the anime is more than a few moths old. Only the most delusional torrentfags would choose not to.

Is anyone working on high grade upscaling technology, something like that waifu2x thing? Old anime is never going to be remade in higher resolutions and it's already crazy how small Akazukin Chacha is on my monitor.

>>152392067
Linux can do that to an extent, but then again Linux can do almost anything as long as you're autistic enough to do it
I've found directory tagging scripts before but if you're not interested in that noise, you can simply do, say -
[2017win]YoujoSenki-Bluray-[FFF]1080AAC-Historical.Isekai.Salaryman.WWI.Magic.Loli
So on so forth
It's definitely not perfect, of course.

>>152392180
>impossible to find seeders if the anime is more than a few months old
Secret Club. Older anime that you can't find seeders for and you have no backups of get streamed anyway.

>>152392180

I find old shit all the time, just gotta know where to look (not public trackers for fucks sake). Even streaming sites get killed frequently, so how are you going to survive that as well, both methods are reliant on someone re-uploading/making available their content. Streaming on some connections is shit, you can't seek smoothly without waiting 10+minutes for the file to DOWNLOAD to temp. Meaning that I could have just downloaded and kept the file to do as I please. Most streams still use local temps, especially jewtube like services, you're not seeking on an external file, it's why your browser will start to eat memory if you have dozens of html5/flash videos open, they're all being locally stored in some manner. In other cases of true live streaming the data is read and dumped on the fly, but would also have some seeking issues depending on connection speed and the hosting services capabilities. You've not accounted for set-and-forget for overnight downloading either.

>>152375875
Oh man, I wanted to post that picture. Curse you for being online at this time.

>>152392180
>it doesn't take time to download
Streaming is downloading, you mongoloid.

Do you guys backup all those metric tons of archived anime? How do you deal with it when the hdds start failing?

>>152396074
I use an external hard drive for the shows I actually care about.

>>152396074
See >>152391571 and >>152391405
Even if you did a full backup, you'd only be burning through 3 terabytes yearly and that's assuming you're downloading literally every show that comes out (I'm preassuming that you're only downloading blu-rays and only by one group / downloading the subs seperately if you have more than one group). If you buy a full-sized desktop tower you can easily fit in 10-15 years worth of hard drives even assuming full backup.

>>152374635
>4k
>relevant
Nah, full hd is fine and 1440x900 is more than good enough for pretty much everything.

>>152396074
I have them mirrored. Thinking of falling for the tape meme so I could rest easy until DNA storage becomes a thing.

>>152396074
Whether is be internal HDDs or external HDDs, you're going to be replacing them every 3-4 years. You can reuse the old HDDs as unhooked/stored backup HDDs. And then get rid of them when you replace the new ones 3-4 years down the line.

>>152396074
At that point you would use Tapes too.

I still download 720p desu senpai

Ha. The eye can't see past 2K resolution anyway.

>>152374635
I have only stored Haruhi's entire collection (two seasons, film and spin offs) and it's not much material, thankfully. I will only have to get the typical annual bd-box with the same fucking content in 4K because S3 never

What the hell, when did /g/ raid /a/? Go back to your board

>>152374635
Anime is still in 720p. Hell, most broadcast stuff is still 720p or 1080i. Movies are mostly 1920x1080 and slowly moving to higher res. Even games struggle with 4k and will continue to do so for another 4 years since dual card solutions are going the way of PhysX.

So yeah, as much as your electronic companies would like you to believe, the reality is that 4k is still has a long way to go to be mainstream.

4K only should for movies or Tv series with incredibly intricate backgrounds. Look how amazing are Wixoss backgrounds in 1080.

Few animes benefits of 1080 or bigger, Anime today though realize they don't need high definition because characters lack of details in her faces and bodies or backgrounds are just photos of real places with some Photoshop filter.

>>152378425
>family guy is better animated than most anime
Well, yes. That's what happens when you pour several million per episode vs a hundred thousand or so per episode.

>>152402192
Imagine what the Japanese could produce with that kind of episode budget.

>>152386478
>>152386809
>That's just 1 million for 4PB
So you're saying that "I spent a million dollars on anime storage" is a believable claim from a random fag on /a/?

>>152404331
To be fair. The Japanese saves tons of money by paying their animators with cup noodles and a firm pat on the ass instead of an actual wage they can live off of.

>>152404874
Animators deserve to be exploited like the dumb omega otaku that they are.

>>152374635
>tfw I stream
Feels good desu.

>>152374635
Stupid nigger you wanna download the resolution the source is at, no anime are made at 4k and won't be for a long time, most aren't even 1080p yet.

Now go kill yourself for being this stupid and making worthless threads.

>>152404444
Spending 1 million sounds believable. But for anime storage it seems way too much. You could simply buy every volume/box of every anime released on BD in Japan and it would cost less.

>>152404874
So they get paid just like every other single person in the real world who isn't a manager, uh?

>>152404955
Well considering what they draw nowadays you're not wrong.

>>152405197
Animators should have learned a real normal job first before trying to become animators, so that they have something to fall back on after being chewed through, and to actually have real-world experience in other things that they can bring into anime.

And American Animators are lazy.

>>152374635
Even though I watch anime in a Full HD TV, I still download most stuff in 720p.
No point in wasting 1GB per episode for something that looks almost the same to me as the 300-500MB releases.

>>152374635
Only retards download everything in 1080p. Most shows are fine with 720p.

>>152407192
Even in 1080 the size is honestly neglible these days considering the sizes of desktop HDDs that you can just slot a new one in for when you fill up

No.

>>152407328
Yes? Buy another fucking hard drive, it's like a hundred bucks for 4TB these days. An entire season of anime is like, 350-500 GB if that. You can have literally two years worth in a 4TB hard drive.

>>152407426
And I do mean an entire season, as in you're downloading literally everything.

>>152407426
Haha. Here they're 170-180 bucks which means full two weeks of work.

>>152407634
oh I uh
sorry

>>152407426
Just bought a 4tb for 130 USD. I remember getting my fist 500 gb for like 70 bucks ten years ago. Good times. I really thought I was amazing for having 500 gb.

>>152407634
Sorry anon.

>>152409337
And the pixel amount is 8M.

>>152374635
I doubt the studios are going to release 4K blu-rays with sophisticated AutismTek™ neural network upscalers and sharpeners like I have in my setup.

>>152374635
You realize there's little to no advantage in using 4K instead of 1080p right? At least if you're watching from a normal distance from the TV.
