I downloaded SAC recently to actually watch all the way through since my knowledge of it mostly comes from half-listening to it when it was on Adult Swim while I hosed around on IRC back in high school.

Actually AS has carried some pretty tight anime, or at least did back then. Evangelion, paranoia agent, GitS, Bebop.

the good parts are great but there's so much dumb garbage, 90% of which is people self-inflicting horrible wounds on themselves because they're miserable shitlords

I don't regret watching it but I doubt I'm ever going to re-watch it.

oh nice, B5 is getting a remaster rerelease

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4HS5K3MdMY

not sure if it's from a better source, an AI upscale or a combination of the two, but a lot of the shots here have far more detail. Some of the skin tones are a bit warm, but I'll take it. Hopefully it's 4:3 and not cropped 16:9, and if I'm really wishing the CG could be redone in proper-res with a bit of effort.

been a while since I last watched it, this might give me some impetus.

alfred j kwak was a good anime

The cartoon is also notable for the political themes on which it touches. In the cartoon, Alfred fights against a fascist dictator, takes in refugees fleeing from a country under Apartheid (with white geese and black ducks), saves whales against hunters, and oversees the changeover of his country from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy with a democratically elected president.

i don't think itunes would sell an AI upscale, though i could be wrong. this was originally shot on widescreen 35mm, the issue as you note is the CG which was rendered at 720x480. some of those shots, especially anything showing an instrument panel is like night and goddamned day, it's nuts. no way that's an AI upscale at this point in time imo. some of them go from unrecognizable blurs to clear, sharp lines. what would be neat is if they machine upscaled the CGI, maybe (vs a proper rerender and/or edit); surely some combination would be cheaper than the TNG effort?

i wonder whether they rescanned film or used one of the film transfer produced for 4:3. either way i might finally watch more than a few episodes.

in re anime chat, i pretty much can't stand the majority of series i've seen but some of the movies have been watchable. i liked some of the ghibli stuff. spirited away was nice, princess mononoke was ok, had an interesting conversation with neil gaiman about how the studio hosed all over the translated screenplay he came up with apparently.
