Figured I'd give the heads-up here.

From last weekend's episodes (Geats 20 and Donbrothers 46) Toei have started to use video codec itu-r bt.709 for their releases. I'm not even gonna pretend like I know the technical details of that but basically, if your computer uses Intel graphics? It can't quite handle that and downgrades the quality. I use direct 1080p videos and to me it felt like I was watching in 480p. Here's a comparison from the OP below; with Geats 20 on the top and Geats 19 on the bottom.

It doesn't seem to effect everything, though -- I in fact didn't notice at first because the opening scenes of characters talking in the interview room, in the DGP lobby, Keiwa's sister at home? They all looked just as good as they always do -- but as soon as it switched to an action scene, the video quality took a nosedive. It seems to mostly effect anything involving effects: fight scenes, the OP, CGI etc. Just something to be aware of
