Or wait for a release by a competent company. But the movie got licensed by atypical anime publishers in Europe and the likes (Acontracorriente in Spain, Koch Media in Italy) so chances for a good release are rather low.

So, remember when Mangaranga looked at In/Spectre from Viz and discussed padded bits? Well, Shout Factory and Duplitech have been doing this for years. I don't fully get how padded bits work with a CBR setup, but if I had to guess, (someone more knowledgeable, please correct me if I'm wrong!) it's possibly a VBR encode with a 25 mbps max rate, and the padded bits are to pad it to a constant 25 mbps, rather than actually being a legit 25 mbps CBR.
You are always going to have very slight bitrate variations with target bitrates encodes, so defining the legitness of a CBR encode is a bit silly. Perfectly constant encodes are always padded (I gues for this instance, --ts-cbr would be the x264 equivalent here).
My only additional suggestion to your review is to check if the encoder parameters are still in the mkv using MediaInfo.
