Animé HD remasters

[WickyWoo]

I'm sorry, but I don't believe you. There are a ton of new HD remasters coming out, and they are definitely not just cleaned up as there are ones that had composite artifacts on the old DVDs but have completely clean component masters for the HD Remaster version, and the framing of the film is different as well.

Yes, because they've been cleaned up, upscaled digitally. They don't have tons and tons of the pieces of the shows to be able to even do it. MAYBE they could do Macross 7 out of the entire list of shows I've seen up, because I think that was a straight film shot.

They've been scrubbed, they haven't been half remade, which is what Esca and Bebop would require
There are dozens and dozens of shots in each episode with major CG work in them, the quality would be flipflopping back and forth constantly because they'd have to use SD for those shots.

edit: Also, on the DVDs for the original Gundam TV series, there's an extra showing them re-scanning the film.

It was re-scanned to standard-def 10 years ago, and again, it exists as a pure film show, one that had broadcast prints made for it I might add, just like Macross did, that could very easily and cheaply be scanned again for HD. The older the better for getting true HD versions of these shows. All that mid-late 90s stuff is just impossible, and forget the early 2000s and up till recently because they'd literally have to rescan all the backgrounds and line art and repaint the entire show because they only exist as 480p digital

Shin wanted to scan Macross in HD when he did the remaster, but they didn't have the budget for it.

If you want to continue to discuss this, please make a thread for it and I'll move the posts over
