It's makes me sad to think about how much great anime out there has never been translated, not even by fans. Like this on, one of the Shadow Skill OVAs

For me its old Shaft shows.

It's because I'm gatekeeping them

Wait until you find out about drama CDs.

Same applies for vampiyan kids, a guy posted the whole series on his site in one big pack without subs just raw videos and until today not even one episode was translated.
>is it the loli half vampire/ half succubus
>is it those jokes of loli lusting over older guy
>is it the sexy succubus mom

No need to go that far, just mention him light novels and he will realize how many aren't dumped or translated (a seinen light novel with straight sex themes is too much for them).

Just watched and it's not that good man. If you have 30 minutes to kill and you're bored then I'm sure it'll keep your attention. Is this really what you're aching to see?
>>
>>287816295
I hope this series comes back.

>>287817917
For real. The anime didn't cover even a tenth of the actual manga

Hmm. Ellie looked different.

For me it's the fact that a lot of older anime didn't even get a proper DVD release, let alone a restoration.
And given that the companies there don't care or have even destroyed the originals the only way to do it is through AI eventually.

For instance Slayers still doesn't have a proper clean release. Same with Golden Boy iirc.
Tokyo Megalopolis just now got some restoration, but I'm not even sure if it's good or just an upscale of a blurry dvd version.

Another one is Hajime, Melos, with great animation and no proper restoration. Same with Tree of Palme etc...

Never knew High School! Kimengumi was translated into I found it by accident on Tubi with english subs. Odd.

Willd how DBZ has dozens of releases and yet they're all flaws in some way

People hail the Dragon Box release as the best version(and it is) but even that release has inaccurate colors due to the film stock aging and Toei not bothering to color correct the series.

The majority of Dragon Ball Z was shot on 16mm film compared to the more standard 35mm. However, there were a few episodes of Z (episodes 73 to 80) shot on 35mm film.

Honestly it's best not to even get into it because you'll just end up losing your mind.

God there's a lot of things I want to get on a better format that nobody will ever think about again. Some of this shit doesn't even have the niche factor anymore. It's just borderline lost to history.

I was surprised to hear Star Trek: Deep Space Nine doesn't have one. Not anime tho
>>
>>287816295
How did Media Blasters miss out on such "gem"?
>>
>>287818099
for me its all those old color pages that get lost when volume releases are the only thing available
>>
>>287818613
I was under the impression 16mm was typical for tv shows.

Someone has Dragon ball z -broly - the legendary super saiyan full movie 35mm and is offering it for 20k

Just A.I upscale it. In 2 years it will look just as good or even better then this film
>>
>>287818973
True. You can even make Vegeta win.
>>
>>287817547
I appreciate you.

>>287818613
They do this on purpose so they can release a new version and say "THIS TIME it's the definitive version!" It's the same with Star Wars. They're never gonna release the 1977 theatrical version or people will buy that and then never buy another version again.
>>
>>287816295
Wait, did the protagonist get raped?
>>
>>287819303
aint nobody give af bout star wars anymore unc
>>
>>287819303
No they're just lazy and incompetent. The original film stock is badly degraded so it needs color correction, and every new release has terrible upscaling, denoising, and sharpening applied. They've had crowdfunding campaigns to make a proper release and they did a shit job as I recall. The fan remasters by Seed of Might and Kineko Video are the best there are.
