Lost Anime...

"Nobody's gonna notice the scotch tape in 60 years"
Old anime is in a sad state. Eventually it may go extinct entirely. One by one, things get more blurry, lower resolution, & then suddenly you can't even see it anymore. This video is about anime restoration & what it takes to watch really old anime in the first place. I explore the world of film, including techniques for reconstructing lost media from, laserdisc, VHS, and more. Discover the amazing efforts being made to preserve classic anime series from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, including Shadar, Mon Chere Coco, and the Super Mario Bros. movie. In this deep dive video, I showcase the techniques and technologies being used to restore lost anime and bring it into the modern era in 4K and 8K resolution. From lost episodes of Doraemon to entire films that have only been captured in a single screenshot, this is the ultimate retrospective on the search for lost anime media.     - Kenny Lauderdale
