Fuck yeah oldschool anime. The 80s and early 90s were the best time for anime.

Nothing beats the Mexican accent they used for that kid from MONSTER CITY (aka DEMON CITY SHINJUKU). Mangay Video dubs are hilariously terrible but back in the days of VHS they were the only option which made them less amusing.

It's japanese audio, english subs are plastered right on the video layer, so no disabling or resizing in VLC for you.

Thousands of years in a distant corner of the universe, a band of space pirates raids a ship, inadvertently captures a young boy, eventually learns that a little girl's parents may be on Old Earth, hear rumours of a relic from Earth, and have many battles to get to it. In an Epicly underwhelming final battle, they defeat the villian of the film and regain the relic, and head off to earth. I particularly love the credit theme.

Which version? I ask out of curiosity.

I have the early 90's version on LD, and a remake done in the late 90's / early 00's on DVD.
>> ???????????||Oni||???????????? !XOkji06ATU
This is the 1990 version, give or take the time it took to release it with english subtitles. So, early 90's.
Not that obnoxious fucking remake.

Hell yeah '80s anime!

Unfortunately, most commercial U.S. releases on tape were horribly dubbed / fucked with (I'm talking about those asshats at streamline), so '80s VHS anime is pretty fucking shitty. They even managed to fuck up Robot Carnival, and there's only six lines of dialogue in the whole film.

Kick ass. I should correct my earlier post and say I have _most_ of the original version on LD. I'm missing one disc. LD distribution in the states was always spotty at best.

Get an av->usb adaptor, and most of them have programs bundled with them that can handle .avi encoding, from there, use Nero to encode to dvd format, and burn as appropriate.

I figured on doing something like that, only with mencoder under linux. The windows software I tried with my capture card kept bitching about macrovision, and also couldn't handle more than 320x200 (piece of shit). Mencoder under linux doesn't have any such problems with it.

What I'm trying to figure out is how to capture the various audio tracks. Most LD's have multiple audio tracks with left and right digital, left and right analog, and various surround sound setups. Usually they'd put the englid dub on one channel and the original soundtrack on another.

Fucking signed. I got into animoot in the early 90's and that was a golden era. I had to ask my local comic store to carry Viz' shit because nobody had even heard of them.

Now it's all gay, with a few quality titles trickling through. Most of it is emo shit or boobfests, both of which get tired quickly.

I think Haunted Junction was the most recent thing I really liked, apart from Mind Game and that Korean thing with the CGI mixed in.

It's not so difficult. You'll need a DVD recorder and a cable to hook up your LD player to it. I do it all the time... You never know when that evil laser rot sets in... @_@

Tried that. Got stupid "Macrovision Detected" (fucking goddamn copy protection bullshit). Now I use mencoder under linux and it works fairly well for a basic video + single channel audio copy.

And I still have no idea how to get at the Closed Caption subtitles buried in the laserdisc video signal so I can convert them to real DVD sibtitles. They do not get copied over by any method I've tried to convert the LD video to a digital format, even on LDs that aren't copy protected. I do NOT want to have to type in the subtitles manually.

And that's the utterly butchered streamline release of Robot Carnival at that.

Why do U.S. distributors have to fuck with everything before releasing it? A simple copy and distribute would take less effort and be fuckloads better.

Speaking as a very old weaboo, I have to point out that there was a lot of really crappy anime produced in the '80s and '90s too. Not as much as is created today, but still a fucktonne.

The real difference between then and now is more one of corporate trends. Back in the '80s and '90s, anime was very much a small and obscure niche market. Because it was so small and insular, only the best stuff coming out of Japan was worth importing into the States, so we got to see a hi-graded skewed sample of all that was being produced.

Then fucking pokemon happened (and fucking power rangers), and suddenly every media company was thinking "LOL let's make money from animays". They started buying the rights and importing everything they could get their indiscriminate greedy little paws on. And since they had no fucking clue what it was they were importing, they started marketing it to kids, who are not known for having discriminating tastes (barney anyone?). An many of those kids have grown up, well, gotten older, and they are all on /b/.

Then any modern torrent client with DHT and peer exchange should be able to get around it. In other words, any client that can handle "trackerless" torrents should have no problem, although it might only be able to talk to other trackerless-capable clients. Last I checked, Azureus was also capable of doing this, as well as a few other clients.

Since they are all under 300MB, these episodes should be rapidshat or something.

Or maybe the original torrent should be rebuilt xabin-free when deadfrog comes back to life?

I know a lot of people despise it, but I can't get megaupload's "control panel" to work right.

I'm wondering if the tracker doesn't have something against BitTorrent v4.4.1 perhaps? Just a few weeks ago, anime-hq's trackers booted me off for having TOO NEW a version of the client. Yes, that's all correct, and I think I missing something too but that's what they said.
