Judas is a prominent release group in the anime community known for using the x265 (HEVC) codec. Their goal is to provide 1080p video that retains near-Blu-ray quality while significantly reducing the file size compared to original remuxes.
While early seasons of Gintama were originally produced in 4:3 standard definition, later Blu-ray box sets provided upscaled or remastered 1080p versions. This Judas release utilizes these superior Blu-ray sources rather than lower-quality TV or web rips. Why This Release Is Trending
