Mahoromatic 720p vs 1080p

I’ll cut to the chase, I suggest you go with the 720p version for many reasons.

• The 1080p was encoded with below standard settings. Blocking, old x264 build, etc. I apologize.
• The masters used for making the Blu-ray are not originally HD. So it means the 1080p version is an upscale.
• 720p’s encodes are better and are smaller by 50% than the 1080p. Lesser blocking, new x264 build, slightly sharper video, etc.
• See THIS for the settings of each version.

Will I make new encodes for the 1080p? No. Sorry, I can’t. We’re done with Mahoromatic: Tadaima Okaeri and I don’t want to backtrack.
