What combination of Codecs and Players are you guys currently using?

I've been fairly loyal for years, with good results, to the Combined Community Codec Pack. For a while now, even with their newest package from 2015, I've found it very lacking particularly with anime releases.

Currently I've managed to use THIS GUIDE (with the latest versions of all mentioned of course) and results so far have been promising. I did the install yesterday, so we'll see.

I did consider trying the KCP Kawaii Codec Pack, which looking back now I would've probably done if I had to do this again, but decided to install all the elements individually since it seems that Codec Packs are very dependent on their developers keeping it up to date to the changes, and seems like they're also prone to disappearances. Hopefully installing the individual elements by themselves will provide for a more lasting solution.

But all told, I would've liked to try the KCP Kawaii Codec Pack before venturing to the standalone codecs/players/filters option.

Regardless, still curious what you guys are using to keep your systems running anime in particular at the proper quality level.
