Re: Collecting anime film prints - Starzan!

Some additional info - I just won the episode 34 print and these prints appear to have been stuck in 1991 based on the Imagica lab label, so there's another piece in the Starzan puzzle.

Re: Collecting anime film prints - Starzan!

Dave, your Starzan article is a very interesting treatment of the space "King of the Jungle" and that background made this print even cooler. The mystery of what plans these prints were attached to is deep - seemingly more than just a US representative shopping the show around, as the epis...

Re: Collecting anime film prints - Starzan!

DKop, have you seen this 16mm episode somebody transferred onto Youtube? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRJNxiclLY8 I think they took a video of a projected screen, with a telecine or scanner it would be a bit less washed out etc. (but it's still the best clip on YT from that rare show and looks pr...

Collecting anime film prints - Starzan!

Well, it looks like I just entered a new phase in collecting madness - a 16mm film print of Starzan episode 30 from eBay (ep 20 in pic, as the seller had a number of reels). A Japanese print, with the reel still in the bag from the Imagica film lab, it seems likely to have been used as a master for ...

Re: What are you Watching?

Minky Momo - the connoisseur's choice in ancient magical girl shows. Still neglected in fansub, after all this time only a handful of eps are subbed in English. Ben Ettinger's old Momo page remains it's most extensive treatment, preserved at: https://web.archive.org/web/20030210193940/http://tky.hut...

Re: When did folks finally stop using paper scripts?

Printed scripts stayed relevant longer than you would think, at least for collectors of anime on laserdisc. Such a script was a good way of understanding that megabuck LD you just imported. Some hardcore anime LD collectors in the present do real time subtitling with a genlock and those old digital ...

Found some old Tomodachi Fansub pages still online

This is pretty cool - a Marmalade Boy fan backed up Tomodachi's "Marmalade Boy Guide" page, which also contains general info on Tomodachi, and have it hosted at: http://www.animezu.com/Anime/cels/pics/mb/1-New%20MB%20Guide/KDs%20Corner/MBGuideOnline/1-MBHomePageNGeneralDirectory.html Under...

Re: Alt.ant, UC Irvine's anime store

It seems some of their stock of anime laserdiscs wound up at Alakazam Comics in Irvine. Alakazam has been selling these new titles, like the above example, on eBay for the past few years (not sure if they have anything left, all the good stuff has been picked over). I got copies of a few GE999 TV sp...

TechnoGirls: A Fansub Survivor

The TechnoGirls fansub group goes way back, and their 90's era (with rare updates) site is a time capsule of archetypal fansub persona: http://www.technogirls.org/barbara/anime/tapelist.htm Glory in the minutiae of master quality and production arcana, along with real passion for the shoujo classic ...
