Higher Quality Anime Compression

Text on the meme

A good example of this is DarkShikari, lead author of x264 (the most popular open-source codec implementation of H.264). Most online video goes through the software this guy wrote just because he wanted higher quality anime. Dark Shikari Yōkai of Video Compression, lead x264 developer. (動画圧縮の妖怪。x264のメイン開発者。)

What it means

A screenshot explains that DarkShikari created x264, a widely used H.264 encoder, simply because he wanted higher-quality anime. The joke treats a major piece of video infrastructure as the result of one anime fan’s personal motivation, making an obscure technical achievement sound comically relatable.
