I even learned in Sentai like Kakuranger, despite being finalized on film, some effects like green screens are done in SD, or on tape. I question how was that even possible to transfer on film.

Also not going to lie, the digital openings and eds in conjunction with the actual episodes being in cel like Pokemon Johto was bizzare, especially when they didn’t wait to go all digital when it was about to end.

This also made me question, who is destroying the film after it was being finalized to sd/tape, because that could screw archivist.

Like, I’m pretty sure, almost every show recorded on film was archived at some sort.

Yeah, I forget that some remasters, have to rely on SD material as in the case of Cowboy Bebop, they only had the CGI stuff in SD, while the main anime is in HD.

This shot feels like it was a digital animation, rather then done on cel.
Often times, I feel like they still need to DNR which makes it look like it has less detail in them.

DNR tends to be a bit of a talking point, when it comes to using them on animation.

This one I found, that someone used a filtered DVD rip as a base, and upscaled it twice and did some color correction.

I mentioned it with Utena later half and Big O but it’s absurd when anime used digital openings or endings, but the main episode is still cel, that is a common practice I noticed with these late 90s and early 2000s anime

I forgot to mention it, but one that could have benefit was Kare Kano (His or Her Circumstances) as this anime feels very rough, as it was transfered from tape. (like how Carranger to Timeranger were done on D-2 Cassette tapes or the Laserdisc mess of Star Wars that was the offical GOUT)

Keep in mind, Japan tends to use 16mm or at least some cheap film.

I kind of noticed some blu-ray releases since the 2000s had them go digital, it was a lot tougher to get a proper remaster, like Rayearth, Outlaw Star, got a proper remaster, while Azumanga, and I think Lucky Star was upscaled I believed.
Some like Big O and Revolutionaly Girl Utena’s 3rd half had used both cels and digital animation, mainly in its second ending.

That’s cool, where can I find it.

I would like the 4K Directors Cut, just to get a good experience of this if I can. Maybe the thecertical version
