MasqueradeOverture

GitS intrigues me most the closer it gets to that "Oshii" feel (2nd Gig pulls that off very well for example). I feel no Oshii-ness from this, so pass.

Dragon Ball Z: Man Of Steel

1999? Holy shit... Well, maybe not holy shit. I heard there were some OVA's released in 1.85.1 on LaserDisc in the 80's.

I think this and SAC were the first anime shows made for widescreen, but I could be mistaken.

Looks like an "animated in 480p LOL ur stuck in SD forever" kinda situation like all other early 2000s anime. Only way you can really push something like that to higher resolutions is by going frame by frame in Gigapixel AI or something, because the standard QTEC method does jack shit.

Holy shit this hit the Lynch itch. The perverted investigator guy even pulled a Audrey Horne... like, omg- I'm gonna resist the urge to look up the rest of the episodes somewhere else and try to just absorb it week for week. I'mma savor this.

Yes.

Future Diary was fucking awesome tho.

Toonami can't dub shows themselves motherfucker. Although come to think about it, I would like to see a Ghost Stories-style dub for Macross 7.

Spinning round...round...round...round...round...round...round...round... GET ME OUT OF THIS CAGE

Genesis just put their whole Three Sides Live concert film on YouTube: Ｉｎ　ｈｉｇｈ　ｄｅｆｉｎｉｔｉｏｎ　悦ギア

Future Diary is the only one of these that exists for me, sorry.

And no 4K / HBO's usual small-ass bitrate.

Don't

At this point pretty much. It just depends on what sounds right. For example, most Frieza's henchmen are the Kai cast (with the exceptions being Jeice & Burter when I get to that point) because their script and performances are just "right" to my ears. At the same time, there's certain points early in Kai where Goku's annoyingly enthusiastic, and I feel like the '05 re-dub is sort of a perfect medium in a lot of those spots. I wanted Linda in there too for at least 1st form Frieza (Chris' will take over for 2nd form & up), but I down-pitched her voice by about 5% just to make her less screechy. Then there's also cases where Kai has voices from several characters on top of each other, which gets difficult if I'm trying to splice in lines from an older voice actor. In about 95% of those cases I'm lucky and their speaking to the same voice actors, but in those 5% of cases I'll just be stuck with the original voices (It always happens though with minor characters that have like no more than 2 lines). Then there's runtime to consider [I like to keep it broadcast-length minus the OP & ED] since there's only so many places that feel like a right start/endpoint for an episode and only so many words spoken by Hebert's narration.

Episode 31 - Namek's Defense up: Splicing all of Frieza's and Gohan's lines in here was A LOT easier than I thought it'd be. The hardest part was finding a right endpoint to the episode, which I think works really well.

That's like saying Twin Peaks is never worth a rewatch.

No dub exists.

Evangelion 4.fuck delayed thanks to Corona-chan:

Never seen it, so I'm down for some Lynchian madness.

Episode 30 - The Ruthless Frieza up: Further honed my skills in matching footage (just realized there's an "equalize" effect tool in Premiere which got me pretty excited). Also an appearance of an insert song that was playing out of Roshi's boombox on the Japanese version, but was deleted in the English dub and replaced by the sound of a newscaster... I found a pretty cool way of circumventing that newscaster problem.

LOL Toonami cancelled and replaced by Brazzers videos on shuffle.
