Robot Carnival Anonymous
Not my torrent, just something I found - Robot Carnival, on DVD.

I know, Old Anime is Old, but I was suprised to find this torrent, and find that it's still being seeded. Besides, Robot Carnival was just an awesome film for it's day and it still is awesome to this day.

This is the Japanese DVD with Japanese and English dialog audio tracks and English subtitles.

I absolutely love Robot Carnival, and I've downloaded a lot of different copies, and this one is easily the best. The only problem is that the English subtitles on this one are really just captions of the dub track. Not that big of a deal since most of the film is just music, but the two segments that do have dialog were pretty radically altered in the dub. It's most obvious in the Presence segment where the dub had talking where there isn't any in the Japanese version.

Nevertheless, I still highly recommend this one.

I liked it when I first saw it on the SciFi Channel... it's in the email for licensed content.

Yeah, but the US license was held by the now-dead Streamline Pictures, there was never a US license secured for a DVD release, and the Japanese DVD, as well as the US VHS and LD copies are long out of print.

Yeah, I'm sure Streamline Pictures are hard at work putting together a top notch DVD release of an obscure and frankly not commercially viable film that's been out of print for over a decade.

Wow... love to see old stuff. Anyone seen a torrent for Moon Station Dallos or a LD of original?

This was perhaps my first anime. Oh nostalgia

Ie been looking for this anime for ages, glad to have found it somewhere.

I really wish they re-release this one in the US...

I found a proper translation of the Japanese dialog... I'm gonna have fun seeing if I can figure out how to add an extra subtitle track with the true translation instead of the dubtitles to my DVD :)

I found the soundtrack as MP3s. Not the highest bitrate, but still good:

But... SciFi still holds the US-broadcast rights... so it is still licensed in the US and, "All material licensed in the United States is prohibited."
>> Anonymous
>>269724
Even if that's true, so what. Like Sci-Fi ever airs anything worth watching anymore. The chances of Robot Carnival ever being aired on Sci-Fi again are practically nil.

Jesus, I think the last time they aired RC was when i was like 13 or 14, and I'm 26 now!

LOL me too. They used to have the most kick ass anime on. Grave of the Fireflies, Vampire Hunter D, Wicked city...those were the days.

How is it that there can be torrents of the entire Gall Force series (which is currently licensed) and Ultimate Teacher (about the same licensing status as Robot Carnival) as well as various other anime series that are rips from US-released videotape, LD, or DVD releases, yet this is the one that gets complaints?

>>269794"the rules" are the shit anyways:
...As such, no anime of any kind is to be posted on this board...

The best anime torrents i got in recent times are from /t/., e.g. iczer and gall force saga.

"the rules" should be revised.
>> Anonymous
>>269477
i find this news to be disheartening.

i'm sure the "rules" exist to prevent this site from becoming a torrent portal for any particular content. seriously, aside from porn (which is licensed content anyway) they throw up the rule to keep people from just trading nothing but anime, nothing but porn, ect. , ect......and mostly to avoid having the mpaa or riaa from ever calling them about piracy. which continues to be bullshit even to this very day.
old or new we can't use this forum as a means to trade content that would get its owners in trouble. i understand and accept this. but most of the time. its just bullshit.
i want to see the dubbed version of these anime mostly because ive already seen the subbed versions. hell im LOOKING at my old vhs of this movie and i think id love to have this in its dubbed version.(however limited it may be) but like you said finding the licenced dvd of it is going to be damn near impossible.

The R2 DVD has the English dub along with the original Japanese dialog version, apparently.
>> Xenos
I'm usually a dick about reporting licensed stuff, but I say this one is out of print and perfectly viable for /t/. I don't think it was never released on DVD. The company with the license is dead and, sadly, no one has picked it up. Maybe if we spread the word on this obscure title, even with a torrent, it might get noticed again and picked up.

Anyone got a heads up on the Robot Carnival OST? CD is out of print, hard to find, and I love the music. All the websites that have it have dead links or the Megaupload/Rapidshare files are dead.

Now i only need to find dvd image files for the Galaxy Express 999 movies since those have also been taken prisoner never to be released on dvd in the states.

I like Robot Carnival too... but I am not going to support the theft of this content because of it. If you enjoy anime or any movie/music/product from an other country, you should stop "pirating"/torrenting/downloading whatever it is when it becomes licensed and go out and buy it. This encourages companies to invest more in these types of products because they can make money.

Having said that, I am more than willing to overlook certain Funimation products... um... being "viewed from files on the internet" because of their HORRIBLE DBZ dubs and "content edits" that serve to ruin good series (in b4 DBZ sucks).

You cannot "pirate" something when it isn't licensed for distribution/broadcast in your country. You can only pirate things that have copyrights held in your specific country.

For all intensive purposes, if the product is not licensed for the US, it doesn't exist in the US.

If no one held the license for Gundam in the US and I created a show, in the US, called "Gundam" and it stared a bunch of kids running around trying to end war by starting one... and piloting giant techno-knights... I could do it... and when the Japanese Gundam tried to break into the US market, though shit. They would need a name change.

Well after downloading the torrent i see i wasted my time since they are AVI files. I was hoping this was an image file because i don't have the software to convert, kinda sucks.

Thank you, OP, for offering us that have not seen this before, the opportunity of watching it and experiencing it for the wonderfully crafted animation piece that it is. If not for your efforts, this would probably have just been another memory lost within the past, possibly never to be seen again by a larger audience. If this ever becomes re-released, I'll buy it immediately.

Also, Akira cameo in 42:33.

you must have downloaded a totally different torrent, these are the DVD files

1: open DVD burning software
2: use it to burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a DVD
3:????

I got it to work, Alcohol wouldn't recognize the files. If there was a way to do it directly from a VIDEO_TS folder i couldn't figure it out since i've never done that before. I downloaded DVD Shrink to turn it into an ISO as a friend recommended i do.

I started watching anime because I saw this movie on Cartoon Network many years ago when anime was very weird in America.
Thanks.

damn I haven't seen Robot Carnival since a local oddball theatre had one of their 24 hour animation festivals back way back.

As for torrenting legality, I've spent as many hundred dollars as I can afford for 3 episode per disk retail anime at like $30 a disk. Like they say in the Mastercard commercial, for everything else, there are torrents.

I have half a bookshelf full of retail anime. I also have about 100 disks of torrented fansubs, most of which isn't available in the 'states.

He probably means when toonami was still cool, and showed certain animes uncut(gundam, and yu yu hakusho but that one ended at about episode 2) as they had a late night program, BUT even they never showed something like this.

OP here, I finally got finished downloading and I'm now seeding. It seems this was before all widescreen movies on DVD were done in anamorphic widescreen. I've needed a project so I'm remastering the video in anamorphic and running a few filters to clean it up a bit. I also have a true translation script instead of the dubtitles on the DVD, so I plan to time those out and add them to my personal SE DVD. If I can see this project through to fruition and other people want it, I may torrent it or something.

Man this is great stuff. I seen this way back in 91... loved it, and love it still. Each episode has such a distinct style and mood, yet it all flows together nicely.
This is indeed a title that need an official release in the US, plenty of fans have fond memories of it and would gladly support it...
>> Anonymous
what ever happened to good anime? they're so rare now a days. great anime were worked on hard, drawn with great detail. anime now has become factory made, under "walmart" quality. sci-fi was great back then, with saturday anime, then went silent and let toonami take control with crap ass shit programs. sci-fi never captured it back even with it's animondays.

You must be an oldfag like me, because I also lament the dismal quality of modern anime. A good 90% of my favorite anime movies/OVAs/series are from the 80s and early to mid 90s.

Sure, there was plenty of stupid cookie cutter crap back then too, but it just seems like the *majority* of anime now is all cookie cutter shitfests.

Shit, and I thought I was the only one getting tired of the 99% cookiecutter crap the hand out as "anime" and "manga" nowadays... especially when it's something that's not even from Japan but they stick the "anime" label on it because that's all trendy.

Robot Carnival has always been on the anime archive site BoxTorrents:

It seems strange that people cannot find it by googling. Oh well, I guess all the spam sites fill up the google results ahead of the link to boxtorrents.

Fuck yes, I concur (oldfag here, 29).
I was into anime and manga back in the 90s and the very best material was from the late 80's/early 90's IMO. Stuff like Grey Digital Target, Nausicaa, Lum, Baoh, and videos like Robot Carnival. I used to rent and copy anime VHS tapes and have a fuckton of classic shit from that period.

Swing and a miss. Boxtorrents has not ALWAYS had that. SSP-Corp's release came out just a week ago. Prior to that there were NO decent copies of this anywhere.

Regardless, the full DVD torrent downloaded faster for me so I stuck with it.
