Its probably the combination of settings he's using is falsely giving the impression that 0.46 is better, when for example if crf mode the objective quality and file size better relates to simply lowering the crf value. A much better way would be to lower the crf instead. It could also be a settings issue where non-ideal settings are used? Of course with solid colour in anime (the Japanese definition of which is all animation), it probably just simply means lowering the AQ strength slightly may benefit, say to 0.7, and disabling fast-pskip! by --no-fast-pskip which is purported to be better in those situations.

Actually Dark_shikari, how is the relationship between --no-fast-pskip and AQ, do they affect each other? I was just thinking that if a slight deterioration occurs on solid colour due to pskip, AQ may be compensating hence causing problems referred to by deaththesheep? I'm only guessing here...
