This, folks, is why disabling AQ on anime is a retarded idea.

lol I think I could have said it more politely, but I agree completely :D. The lack of AQ was the first thing that came to mind, but I refrained from posting as I wasn't completely sure. With super-duper clean, digitally-processed animes with fine edges, it's still nice to have some level of AQ. I usually use 0.2 or 0.3.

Look at the "Advanced" Tab and go to "Adaptive Quantizers." Change it from "Disabled" to something else; I don't have MeGUI handy atm but I bet the last option is probably preferable. Change the strength to 0.2 or 0.3 instead of the default 1.0. Tell us how it turns out :).
