Difference in anime formats

>Web | MKV | h264 | 1080p | AAC 2.0 | 9GB
>Bit rate: 8000 kb/s
>Blu-ray | MKV | h264 | 1080p | DTS-HD MA 5.1 | 44GB

Will the difference in quality be noticeable if I download the 9gb version? How are the sizes so different when it's supposed to be the same anime?

No.

Same reason a 4mb PNG is equivalent to a 300kb AVIF file at 90% quality. Image compression and how far accepting a little bit of quality loss can actually go.

So why does the 40+GB version even exist and have people seeding it?

Placebo and some people can actually tell the difference (like how some people can tell the difference between cheap and expensive headphones or cheap and expensive wine).
And the bluray version may also have other advantages over the Web version, like less censoring.

When you take a screenshot, it's in PNG and it has perfect colors compared to what you're seeing.

When you save it as JPG, the size drops but the quality is slightly lost.
If you keep saving in JPG several times over, it becomes blurry and ugly.

Basically, these 30GB versions are an attempt to preserve as much as possible of the original quality.
Lots of retards don't really understand the benefits and just download the biggest size possible because big = good.

For most people, the quality between a decently-compressed video and a "lossless" BRip is unnoticeable. But if people keep reconverting from a lossy format, things start to look deep-fried.

Lots of retards will also download 1080p movies that are very tiny in filesize, meaning the "JPG" compression is so strong that watching a low-res, but decently compressed version might have been better.

Just get a h265 for a good balance of quality x filesize, whenever possible.

The 40GB version is raw BlueRay data. It is the highest quality data available for the series.
When you download other encodes of this, those are lower quality, as in they are lacking some data. If the encode is good, you don't really notice, but in some series/scenes, you can tell if the encode is bad.
I like to own the best version of a handful of things I like. For casual consumption, these releases are definitely an overkill.
