1. The board's average age is higher than you are willing to admit. Why do you think "zoomer" hate is so prevalent?
2.This thread would be just as barren 15 years ago in the so-called "millennial" era.

Don't fall into the trap of generation war nonsense, especially when it's a given that in any generation, history nerds will be a passionate minority.

Fun watch. Really cute at the end where she was in all the different outfits. But mostly it just made me sad that mecha is a completely dead genre.

There was a thread not too long back trying to identify every reference in Daicon 4. I think it hit bumb limit twice iirc. Plenty of love for daicon here. The real question is when are they going to make a daicon 5

>>284523774
Huh, neat

I'm guessing it's a cleaned up and color corrected version of the raw film scan that Kineko Video uploaded on YouTube some years ago?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fighLETfcxQ

Can someone please upload the /a/ draws daicon iv to catbox or something? The one on youtube is blocked by Sony.

I meant the /a/ draws one anon.
>>
>>284545907
Having compared them for a while now, it seems to be quite different. The new version seems quite a bit clearer than the Kineko one, but surprisingly the Kineko version goes up to 4k while the new one goes up to 1080p. However, I doubt 8mm film allows for any more detail above 1080p.

It could be, but I'm not sure if it's the same FemboyFilms restoration or not. Something to think about
>>
>>284546393
I went through about a minute of it frame-by-frame. They share a lot of the same artifacts, but occasionally the new one has a scratch the old one didn't. So, either a new scan and most of the artifacts are in the master, or they painted in some new scratches for some reason.
>>
>>284546363
I'm sorry anon, not sure if I follow which one you're referring to, could you elaborate a little more?

>>284546393
Something else I just noticed: The clean ups and color corrections seem to match the ones seen in this video uploaded by Kineko Video before Gainax made them cancel their restoration.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uvzj3ZbdrI

Maybe this Daicon III HD restoration is actually a leak of Kineko Video / Femboy Films' unfinished restoration project?
>>
>>284528355
I mean he is right.
IV just has more energy too it. Plus the callback to it in later Gainax works like FLCL helps.

Star Wars used to be peak 'geek' culture. the Prequels made it mainstream (which made it no longer countercultural to like it), and Disney turned it into a franchise only liked by childless women in their 30s-40s.
>>
>>284537925
Hey, that's me!
We didn't find all of it, but we found most, I'd say about 75% probably.
It's still an ongoing project and I swear I'm gonna make a website for it.
For now the progress is documented on the Twitter page "Daicon List Project".
Right now tho, program is pretty much halted, since we found basically everything that can be identified by the naked eye, a few things here and there could probably still be identified if the right person with the right autism happened to look at it, but I don't know if that warrants making more threads for now.
An HD release would of course help tremendously, we can only hope.

if you liked Star Wars over the age of about 12 you were a social pariah back in the 80s. it didn't become acceptable to say "I like Star Wars" as a teen/adult until the early 2000s. Liking Star Wars in the 80s/90s was like admitting to watching cartoons as an adult. You weren't there.

I was gonna ask if someone messaged the guy for the source files before he dies or disappears or both and the only thing left is the piece of shit YouTube reencode but looks like he already uploaded the best quality he had himself to archive.org?
Pretty based.

He would have been more based if he uploaded an 4k upscaled 60 fps version to Youtube and nowhere else and then died in a house fire, taking the original files with him

Move over for hard drive chads.
I tried looking for Daicon IV on my hard drive and found the 4chan version by accident. "Why is it a penis?" I had to look again to find the crusty old .avi file.
Anyhow, this one seems to have been a noticeably cleaner film source than the Daicon IV laserdisc used. That opening sequence could give you epileptic leprosy eye cancer from all the spots on the picture in just the opening scene.
Also the old LD rip has a lot louder audio for some reason.
