军火女王我们制作了两个不同的版本，以满足不同观众的需求。大体积版在控制体积的情况下，尽可能保留了原版的噪点，以还原观感。Lite版则尽量去除了全篇风格噪点，尽可能将本片还原到常见番剧的画面风格。我们也尝试过完全保留噪点，然而成品体积非常巨大，甚至接近原盘。因此，希望100%原汁原味的观众建议自行下载BD原盘进行观看。
众所周知，军火女王全篇采用了倒叙的手法，因此几乎全部场景都附上了一层浓重的风格（回忆杀）噪点。随着压制技术以及算力的进步，我们得以使用更加先进的处理手段来处理这些顽固的风格噪点。我们陆续尝试了多种不同的降噪算法，最终决定使用神经网络进行处理，以便将噪点完全分离干净。本片除了超强的噪点外，画质并无太大问题。从EP1开头无噪点片段可以看出，画面中除较为严重的锯齿外，并没有太过明显的瑕疵。
在尝试降噪的过程中，我们发现在贯穿全片的噪点之下，在部分场景还有一层常规的风格噪点。以此可以证明，本片在初期制作时就已经按照常规方式加入了噪点，在最后的摄影环节，又为全片覆盖了一层风格噪点。另外，本片虽然为倒叙，但是在第二季后半时，时间线已经来到了第一季开头，然而风格噪点依然存在。因此我们可以合理怀疑，贯穿全篇的风格噪点或许并没有存在的必要，或者说制片方在制作后期就已经忘记了这层噪点存在的意义。因此，我们在Lite版中，我们使用了神经网络算法对噪点进行分离后，仅可能的去除了贯穿全篇的风格噪点，并保留了部分场景中原本就存在的噪点。并且为了接近常规番剧的画面风格，我们对全篇覆盖了一层强度较低的噪点来平衡观感。对于画面中出现的锯齿，我们进行了常规的AA处理。由于我们使用的神经网络算法运算量异常庞大，导致GPU成为了限制压制速度的主要瓶颈，我们肆无忌惮的使用了非常高的压制参数，在不增加压制时间的情况下尽可能提高视频编码效果。
We have produced two different versions of Jormungand to meet the needs of different audiences. The large-volume version, while controlling the file size, we attempted to retain the original noise as much as possible to preserve the authentic feel. The Lite version, on the other hand, aimed to remove most of the stylistic noise, striving to bring the visuals closer to the typical anime style. We did try keeping all the noise, but the resulting file size was enormous, nearly matching the size of the source disc. Hence, for those seeking a 100% authentic experience, we recommend the original BD version.
As widely known, Jormungand utilizes a narrative in reverse chronological order, resulting in almost every scene being heavily stylized with nostalgic noise. With advancements in compression technology and computational power, we were able to employ more sophisticated methods to handle these persistent stylistic noises. We experimented with various denoising algorithms and ultimately decided to use neural networks to completely separate the noise. Aside from the excessive noise, the picture quality has no major issues. Segments without noise from the beginning of EP1 show that, apart from noticeable aliasing, there aren't significant flaws in the visuals.
During our denoising attempts, we found an additional layer of conventional stylistic noise in specific scenes beneath the pervasive noise spanning the entire film. This discovery implies that the film was deliberately infused with noise in a customary manner during the initial production phase, followed by an additional layer of stylistic noise during the final filming stage, which covered the entire film. Furthermore, despite the series being presented in reverse chronological order, by the latter half of the second season, the timeline revisits the beginning of the first season, yet the stylistic noise persists. This leads us to question the necessity of the continuous stylistic noise throughout the series or whether the significance of this noise was overlooked in the later stages of production. Therefore, in the Lite version, we utilized neural network to selectively remove the prevalent stylistic noise throughout the series, preserving some original noise in specific scenes. Additionally, to attain a more typical anime series visual style, we applied a layer of lower-intensity noise across the film to balance the visual experience. We also utilized standard anti-aliasing to address any noticeable aliasing. The computational demands of the neural network algorithms put a significant strain on the GPU, becoming the primary bottleneck in the encoding process. Therefore, we boldly employed very high encoding parameters to enhance the video encoding quality as much as possible without increasing the encoding time.
