"Fujita Hiroyuki is an always sleepy and difficult to motivate high school boy, but he has a kind heart, and the gift to make friends with girls easily, like his good childhood friend Kamigishi Akari who has always looked out for him. They hang out with the calm Satou Masashi and the hyperactive Nagaoka Shiho from the parallel class, navigating the challenges of school and daily life — such as seating placement in class, clean-up duty, or going for karaoke..."

Based on a dating sim VN (which unfortunately has no official or fan translation).
#### Video notes:
- IVTC on DVD volumes 2-4. Volume 1 was interestingly progressive NTSC with just duplicate frames so decimate was enough, but it had obviously been deinterlaced at some point during production, and not that well so episodes 1-4 have some jaggies and flickering lines.
- Removed halos and rainbows
- Removed most of the dotcrawl, as much as was possible without generating extra issues
- Stabilized screen shake
- Moderate denoising
Video quality gets a bit better in general after the first volume (episode 5 onwards). The omakes are worse though.
Wasn't the best of sources but based on this article Right Stuf did a decent job I guess: https://www.rightstufanime.com/anime-resources-to-heart
#### Subtitle notes:
Minor editing, typo fixes, op/ed karaoke, animated signs and typesetting

>Um… What program did you used to encode these DVDs into x264?
I'm part of the "old school", so, roughly this:
- Extract the ISO's or directly rip in file mode via DVD Decrypter
- Next, index the mpeg2 files using dgindex
- Then, select and configure all needed filters in an avisynth script, and preview in virtualdubmod
- When all filters are configured and the result looks good, encode video in MEGUI (could also do it in Virtualdubmod)
- OCR the subs via SubRIP
- Then fix and manually edit the subs in Aegisub (including signs and typesetting), and save as .ass
- Optionally re-encode the audio tracks (in MEGUI)
- Mux everything together in MKVToolNix
- Release
- Profit... oh wait
I have a better version of this. It is an R2J dvdrip remux of [Snow-Raws], with the English Dub (in AC-3) and English Subs (VobSub) included.
This is the only season to have an English Dub, which is why I did this.
Here is the Direct Download Link to said version:

xanth is the darkest among the 3 but shows the most details in light areas such as grass, but totally becomes next to black-out in dark areas
snow is the brightest and shows the most details in dark areas, although someone on the desidis torrent stated that snow has wrong AR
desidis is just flat out bad because it's the blurriest and has the worst artefacting
thanks @Alonso9825 for that
i was gonna advise you to upload it as a torrent but then again it's an upscale, and upscales are sporadically yeeted, while some are kept 😂
