Cardcaptor Sakura
Desbreko:
After comparing Sakura's and KAA's 720p releases, and the screens posted above, this is what I've noted.
Sakura's...
• Retains less grain and fine detail than KAA (this is the case even with KAA's 720p vs. Sakura's 1080p), but more than Raws-4u and CalChi.
• Is antialiased.
• Cleans up the chroma bleeding around lines a bit.
So, out of the three comparison shots posted, Sakura's is the clear winner. CalChi's is way over-sharpened and Raws-4u retains less detail than Sakura's with none of the benefits of antialiasing or chroma cleanup.
Also, here's a comparison of Sakura's 720p Spline36Resized to 1080p vs. the native 1080p shot that was posted. And here's a comparison of KAA's 720p Spline36Resized to 1080p vs. Sakura's 1080p.
As you can see, KAA's retains more grain and fine detail, like I mentioned. More surprising, though, is that Sakura's 720p actually seems to retain more grain and detail than the 1080p. Which makes me think even more that there's no point in uploading a 1080p version at all.

So, KAA > Sakura Sanctuary > RAWS-4U?
*Namaiki was clarifying just what Desbreko had come to as a conclusion..
Southrop:
I think we can safely say that CalChi and Raws-4U are out of the picture.

I wavered back and forth on this myself, but I think in the end I have to agree. KAA looks better than Sakura-Sancturary, but only by a very small margin. Sakura-Sanctuary 720p and 1080p are effectively indistinguishable (for a moment, I thought the second screenshot hadn't loaded, that's how similar they are), and both KAA and Sakura-Sanctuary look better than Raws-4U or CalChi. In that case, I think it'd be KAA unless there's some other compelling reason to accept Sakura-Sanctuary's release over it.

I haven't 'heard' either yet, but sound quality I will definitely have to check out for myself sometime..
