Is anime generally broadcasted in 1080p now? And therefore HorribleSubs

Most anime are just above 720, think 792 etc. But if you care that much you shouldn't download TV rips

HS never upscales or downscales anything.
No matter what resolution was used for production, nips upscale it to 1080 and send it to CR/funi who downscale it back. Although sometimes simulcasters only get 720, like with Urara.
If you have to go HS always pick highest resolution available, CR/funi have no fucking idea how to actually downscale and any modern video player does better job in real time.

I didn't know this, thank you.

This blog has the actual resolutions of most shows when aired. Used to be almost everything was 960p but I'm seeing a lot more native 1280 this season.

You mean to say the 720p downscale you can choose to stream on Crunchy Roll is rendered worse than loading a 1080p file on VLC and then sizing the window to 720p?

Anime is broadcasted in 1440x1080 from tv stations but usually it's mastered in the 720p area. Kyoani has some odd fixation with 950p I think. And of course you have the one or two shows in full 1920x1080.

Is there a point of watching anime in FullHD on 15.6" laptop? I think it's actually indistinguishable from 720p for this size.

Crunchyroll typically gets 1440x1080, same as most TV stations. Whether or not the show actually benefits from any resolution above 720p depends on the show.

I wonder.
Depends on how close to your Laptop you are.

The actual size of the monitor doesn't matter, it's the resolution of it. My phone is smaller than my hand and it has a 1080p screen. You can see the difference in a 1080p vs 480p YouTube video. the same is true for any laptop or tablet.

>>153140900
Kind of unfair because YT 1080p looks better than 480p even on a 480p monitor because it's not lossless

VLC has infamously bad scaling, but just about any other media player would handle it better than CR's encode.

>>153140175
Depends on PPI.

Download 720p every time.

Well, I've got 4k monitor with 15.6" size.
Yeah, I know, it's meaningless, but it's not like I choose it specifically.

But, I mean, what's the point of watching anime created in 720p in bigger resolutions. Even if it was upscaled. Isn't this the same thing my media player does every time I open video with resolution less then my screen on fullscreen?

>>153143405
It's not meaningless depending how far you sit from it.

You should be fine if your eyes are within two feet from the Monitor.

Thunderbolt Fantasy and that Yotsuba anime profited from 1080p, as did a few other shows.

Most of the time there's literally no difference between upscaling 720p→1080p and 1080p though.

Of course this highly depends on anime but usually 1080p is not worth it for TV releases.

>>153145558
How do people actually know which shows are made in 1080p?
I've been curious about this for a while.

Download both files, alt-tab between them or take screenshots for comparison.

You can also downscale and upscale the higher-resolution material and compare the result to the original to guess the native resolution.
