Warning - Brain dump, this is a bit long and rambly!
I've resurrected this project using a higher quality raw as the base.
Still wondering what to do about a few things, though, as I really don't want to screw with the video or plug in 480p source (or worse, back-converted PAL) any more than I have to. So I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with the opening title card or the episode titles.
I've thought over a couple ways to deal with the end credits and I'm not sure which approach to take there either.
Also, some eps which are only VHS source are in rather poor shape, unless someone can find better sources for them. Especially ep.16, "The Summer House", which has frequent dropouts on the rip I have. Naturally the BD-sourced raws from which I am working will significantly improve the video quality, even downscaled to 720p and 480p (I can't handle 1080p), but there's not a lot that can be done for the sound.
Current reports state that only the following eps (all 70 were dubbed, according to our current research, and one episode aired in NZ only) exist on DVD in English at all, even the US cut: 1-15, 17, 20, 25-26, 28, 30-33, 35-36, 39, 43-46, 53. Also, parts of 41, 47-48, 50-51, 58 and 68. Episodes 17-26 appear to exist on PAL VHS in the UK.
There are 3 opening themes and 3 closing themes in Japan. The Australian cut has 2 of the former and 2 of the latter (omitting the middle of each set). Only the first of each was committed to DVD but there appears to be good source for the last. There doesn't appear to be an English version of "Tobira o akete" or "Honey", so that leaves only "Catch You Catch Me", "Groovy", "Platina" and "Fruit Candy". None of this was used in the US, Canada, or the UK, and they all represent, imho, a significant improvement over the more common American theme song.
I'm not good at paintovers. :( So right now the OP still has the original logotype. The R4's chyron-out of the Japanese logotype is hideous! Also, Kero's Corner still has "Kero-chan ni omakase" written in Japanese on it...though that's prolly easier to fix.
