I have to say Sailor Moon I didn't find difficult to work with in the past at all, but thats probably because I was working with the movies mostly, moreso than the series...but I didn't find trouble with that very much either.

Then again I used VHS tapes and didn't go through the trouble of cleaning up footage, but I ripped an SMR DVD a few days ago and realized that the quality is horrific.

I definitely think Arigatomyna's Enduring Love is the best film cleanup job I've wittnessed. :shock:

Agreed, considering the source.

Like this masterpiece. :up:

I have yet to see a Gainax show that wasn't complete shit for encoding and transfer and didn't take longer to clean up the footage than it did to do the actual editing.
<b>WATCH FLCL NOW.</b> :P

Not only is the show wonderful, but the footage is simply gorgeous. Mostly clean telecine, no rainbowing, no dot crawl, no frame blending, lush colors. Too bad it's so expensive ($90 retail for 6 eps)...

Thats because they sold it on three disks when it could have been done on one.

The sword at last must win,
Today is gone, and yesterday,
Must echo in the wind.

Hey, at least they didn't sell it on 6 disks like they did in Japan (so I'm told). :)

And they did a really great job with the booklets and the extras (love the commentary from Tsurumaki-san!)... now if only they had come up with some better menu music. :P (Disk 3 being the exception, except for the fact that it goes through ALL of "Last Dinosaur" before looping...)

The Anime News Network wrote:Sited from AnimeNation News (Linky):
Forbes financial magazine has profiled the massive success of AD Visison, from its roots in founder John Ledford's house to its present status of controlling a third of the American anime distrubution business. The article contains interesting and rarely revealed statistics, such as the fact that ADV pays $1 million to $2.6 million for licensing rights to anime series and $500,000 to $5 million for a feature film. Dubbing costs another $10,000 to $20,000 per half-hour; and AD Vision's Anime Network hopes to break even on its relatively small $50 million start-up costs within three years, partially due to minimal content acquisition costs since the network already has access to 1,500 AD Vision titles.
I for one am glad it's only 3 disks. :roll:

Oh, and the link in the article to forbes magazine requires a premium account to view the whole thing (read as: u gotta pay). So if you have one, feel free to share it with us I guess. You also have to be using either Netscape or IE.
