Well since nobody can name a tracker with any AV1 content, I will for anyone finding this post in the future.

As mentioned in the OP, LST.gg has an uploader, KIMJI, who encodes western cartoons, TV, and movies in 1080p AV1. I personally love the quality and file size of his encodes. There’s some other AV1 content there as well. Several WhiskeyJack encodes have been uploaded, although I don’t know where they originate.

I really wish I knew where to find anime in AV1 still.

There is not much AV1 content because there are not many platforms streaming AV1 yet. Transcoding a lossy format like H.264 or VP9 to AV1 will reduce the quality.

Not by much and it can save a bunch of space depending on what you’re working with. Works well with modern anime. Squashing a h264 60GB anime to <10GB with minimal quality loss is pretty satisfying.

I’m well aware of the tradeoffs. Besides, encodes of remuxes and full disks can easily be better quality than web-dls, and with av1 or HEVC can be smaller file size too.

there’s a bit of AV1 re-encoding on usenet, it usually comes much later and with little consistency

Any release groups you see consistently?

I’ve seen KIMJI and Aoc do movies, but not very regularly. There’s been a few re-encodes clearly done by non groups, probably just running actual releases through handbrake or rav1e or something

I love KIMJI encodes.

I haven’t been able to make an encode (SVT-AV1) from source that doesn’t obliterate the grain and texture. The output is watchable but everything looks plastic. There is a parameter for grain but I found it fairly crude.

Yea I’ve heard that grain synthesis can be tough to get right with AV1. I’ve seen people (that know much more than me) talk about ways to make it better though.

I do think that’s why people like it more for cartoons and anime though.

I’ve re-encoded most of my library to AV1. It’s amazing. You looking for anything specific?
