Yeah I agree about the 97SE smearing, that's why I think it should only be parts or selected scenes. The Flunk one is better in a lot more places than the Reivax I would say, after comparing them both, but there is a minor problems with the Flunk too. I think the best from both would be a better compromise.

Not sure what d_j's 97SE broadcasts look like, but from what I have seen from the small sample clips and screenshots it looked more detailed than the 97SE laserdiscs ever did, but again I hear it has its own problems too.

I think what we would need is a hybrid version of all the best parts taken from the best sources to achieve what needs to be done getting it to look as close to the original as possible. So we could have a mixture of GOUT/04SE/97SE for particular parts but not too much that it becomes jarring between sources. As we know, that working from one source has its limitations, and in this case the GOUT source doesn't have all the colour information in parts that would be needed to recolour time it.
