Depends how you define "HQ" and most people can't seem to universally agree on this because of visual acuity, display being used, viewing conditions, viewing distance, etc etc. "LQ" or dogshit quality is easy, you just set a JPG or WebP image with a quality parameter of 0 and ~100% of humans would agree that it's awful. WebP is a very interesting image codec because it can, without intermediate formats, use:

A) YCbCr pixel format with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. This is the one image photographers get upset about because raw camera images can be 4:2:2 or even 4:4:4 JPGs (set to 100 quality).

B) RGB (+ alpha). This is the exact same thing being used in PNG.

You rarely hear about B until now because there used to be a serious security vulnerability so it was effective banned on the internet. It's been a few years since all the security patches got sent all over the world so it's pretty safe to use. This is also why things like JXL won't see widespread adoption until like 2030, there could be dangerous hidden security vulnerabilities especially since it's 10X as complex/more lines of code vs WebP.

Anyway umigalaxy seems to be one of the first websites that allows the usual boring YCbCr pixel format with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling but also the historically banned RGB (+ alpha) color space in Webp uploads. If the former isn't "HQ" enough for you then you can use the latter.

IN FACT, if you want a real oxymoron wait until you find out that some freak images achieve dramatically smaller filesize as a a lossless RGB WebP instead of the lossy one. You'd think not applying lossy transforms to a image would make the filesize explode but some images out there are freaks of nature.

I like how much better the image thumbnail quality is tbh.

Like on 4chan before the cocksucking mods rudely deleted an innocent tech related thread, AGAIN, you'll notice how the umigalaxy thumbnail is miles better in quality and resolution yet it's still really small in filesize so it loads in 0.1 seconds...

Btw why does this stupid anime image seem to make /g/ mods shit themselves and go nuclear "delete thread immediately!" anyway? It doesn't seem to depict anything that's NSFW, I don't see anything wrong with it.

I generated an image of your dream

>I dreamed I was going out with a girl, she was super cool and we went to a cafe that was very weird and it had a several huge posters of nerd stuff. Then we left and walked outside, when we were going back we saw a bunch of people fell of a flight of stairs, the place was very ghetto

It's good that you found umigalaxy, I also did, I'm a refugee from 4chan's deteriorating /g/ board. However you should tell us a little bit more about your site so you don't get labeled a spammer.

If I had to pick an Anime that touched upon real life themes, it would be Higurashi (2006 one not Gou). It shows how isolation leads to avoidable tragedies. In the end we all function better when we're part of a community that cares about you. Which for me definitely isn't 4chan lol.

Higurashi had some banger OPs and EDs

Dear You is just beautiful

Yes, I did 4 semesters of Japanese using Genki in college, then a few years later did immersion and anki with /jp/djt. I haven't seriously practiced since 2019. If your main goal is reading visual novels and watching anime, it's pretty attainable. You eventually might start grappling with the amount of time you're spending learning a language solely to watch cartoons that are already translated, though.

That sometimes keeps me awake up at night but I rationalize it with the hopes that I'll get a qt countryside Japanese girlfriend from Osaka.

No thanks. I'll stick with English + French. Wielding these two languages will give me access to almost everything.
