You don't know shit.

Some got BDs, though.
Overman King Gainer was one of them.

You can rescan film. Digitally the only option is to upscale unless you're going to redraw evertything.

>Was 2001-2006 visually the absolute worst era for TV anime?
Definitely.

On top of that there was no TV anime back then.
>>161130179
Yes and in this specific case it is pretty unfortunate because Yuuko is my waifu and I love how she looks in the manga. But the tv series just looks all murky and dull.

>Was 2001-2006 visually the absolute worst era for TV anime?

I'm pretty sure this has been agreed on since about 2007

definitely

>>161130179
But I still wtach all of my anime at 480p or VL versions of 720p.

>>161130260
Totally ripped of Shinbo's style there

>>161130179
I take it you haven't seen the amazing new encode of the series that recently came out in AB? Or all the omnibus manga got put up there?

>>161130179
Not true really. What you mean is early digital, several shows were still done in cel at that point.

Sadly my all-time favourite series is from that era. It managed to get a BD release which doesn't have terrible quality, but ultimately it's still just an upscale, so the only advantage is no major interlacing or rainbow moire effects.

>>161134499
Which is?

>>161134192
Which group? I have the Utsukushii release and it looks like shit.

>>161134239
>several shows were still done in cel at that point.
Like what?

>>161134752

Not many. Noir was one of the last.

I hate anime now

In 20 years people will probably look back on all of our 1080p and think the same thing. These shows from 2001-2006 will look worse than VHS rips do today at that point.

>>161130317
what are they doing with those eureka seven movies? That looks like its reusing a lot of old footage still in 4:3 but there are newly animated scenes too

Princess Tutu is releasing end of this month. I wonder how it will turn out.

>>161135655
what is this horror

>>161134736
Dekinai.

>>161135310
That's just the encode.

>>161135934
I wouldn't get your hopes up.

>>161137575
Can you post a screenshot?

Nothing will ever be as bad as the Master Keaton """remaster""""

I'm glad King Gainer is in HD

>>161137704
Better, but doesn't look like a huge improvement. There's only so much you can do with a source like that though. Wish I'd have known to grab that one.

Some anime from that time got refactored upon their BD release like Pani Poni Dash.

But why did they make the xxxHolic anime so shit

>>161137821
I think this was also the case for Kanon 2006.

>>161137821
What does refactoring entail?

>>161137861
I just watched it in 720 and it looked fine. Akiko best girl.

>>161138008
No I know, that's why I think it was refactored, or at least, KyoAni/KEY still had the original digital files to remaster it at such a high quality.

Pretty big contrast to the Haruhi remasters which are much lower quality, yet still from the same year.

Do I have to read Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle if I want to read xxxHolic?

>>161141379
By that logic you might as well read the entirety of CardCaptor Sakura as well. For that fact you might as well read all of Clamp's works.

No, you don't have to read TRC.

>>161135059
Overman king Gainer and Ghost in the shell were actually produced in 1080p though.
