| Dunno why, but i just find old anime with 1080p real formatting to be much better than newest anime in 1080p, it's highlighting the animation much better than new anime that is just made with HD as the regular resolution. From those anime I have are Hikaru No Go, Cowboy Bepop and (yeah it's kinda amazing) Yuu Yuu Hakusho. (apart from those I also have DBK in this resolution but that's different case) Does other people thinks like me? |
| Older anime that have been remastered from a 16mm or 35mm film print will look great if a company is willing to go through the work of doing it. The Blu-ray of "Mirai Shounen Conan" looks fantastic. |

| If both come under the same quality, then it is a matter of what you prefer over another. I actually want to see more old anime in such quality tho |
| I would like to see more older anime in 1080p but not more people watch old anime these days. |
NextUniverse said: the thing about older anime is mostly the old techniques using different colours and more quality on the art department, i just find new anime animation most being trash compare to them when i watch them in 1080p. (i'm of course talking about those with great art)If both come under the same quality, then it is a matter of what you prefer over another. I actually want to see more old anime in such quality tho for comparison: hikaru no go (2004) planetes (kinda forget i got this recently) fruits basket captain tsubasa |
| Yeah but I personally just prefer 1080p old anime only because of the look of cel animation, never found trouble with the encoding of anime. Digital anime and occasionally CG looks good but cel animation has a certain look that I find pleasing. |

Could be how you worded the thread, when you said formatting I thought you meant encoding/compression and how downloaded/torrent anime looks better than streaming anime. Yeah I agree high res old anime look amazing, honestly the lack of high resolution is what's keeping me away from certain older anime. |

Could be how you worded the thread, when you said formatting I thought you meant encoding/compression and how downloaded/torrent anime looks better than streaming anime. Yeah I agree high res old anime look amazing, honestly the lack of high resolution is what's keeping me away from certain older anime. and you can sure find good qualities of old anime though being lower resolution. (like, i damn have FMA03 in 720p though it's more like conserving the 480p) i meant by HD conversion by the fact there's some anime that are so-called 1080p which is actually 720p or upscaled 480p. my naruto batch episodes are 720p though it's only 480p, and shippudden is 1080p both for the old 4:3 episode and the latest episodes, it's just looking upscaled. on the other hand i have beautiful 1080p episodes of hikaru no go. it doesn't even come to comparison. check the screenshots i gave above. and i don't like streaming anime. apart from the fact hd resolution mostly look awful, i prefer having all the episodes in my hardisck for the name of collection and future rewatching, rather than trusting streaming sites and my low internet connection. |
| I don't know about Hikaru no Go; it's a 2001 show that was most likely animated in digital SD. But yeah, older anime created in the cel era can certainly look great if they get remastered in HD with new film scans, as long as the disc authoring process doesn't try to smooth out too much film grain and destroy any semblance of detail in the process. Unfortunately, not all Blu-Rays of older anime are actually remasters like this; many are just digital upscales from the old analog masters. Though a lot of the older shows that get actual remastered Blu-Rays in Japan don't necessarily get re-released here in the US, and I generally don't download 1080p at all, let alone 1080p files that run 4-5 GB per episode. |
| I would love to watch more older series but I can't bring myself to watch some series with faded color. |
Zalis said: how did you come at 4-5gb? most of my 1080p files are around 300-500mb, with today encoding it's just possible without losing quality. (the screenshot from fruits basket i gave in earlier post is only 367mb, the whole fruits basket remake 1080p batch (60+ episodes) is 28gb)Though a lot of the older shows that get actual remastered Blu-Rays in Japan don't necessarily get re-released here in the US, and I generally don't download 1080p at all, let alone 1080p files that run 4-5 GB per episode. and when i meant older anime i didn't meant only cel animation but also 2000 anime, newest anime animation doesn't change much from each resolution, but those old anime have great deal about it when coming into BD qualities. edit: check this yuu yuu hakusho 1080p for example:  size: 394mb hunter x hunter:  size: 169mb uchuu kyoudai:  size: 230mb |

| Yup. Remasters of old anime really excentuate the beauty of old cel animation and hand-painted backgrounds so well. Though I really hate when they crop it to make it 16:9 and thus removing good chunk of the screen and information. I watched the Arcadia of my Youth movie couple of days ago and I couldn't stop myself from taking screenshots (made a bunch of them). Also currently watching Ashita no Joe 2 and it looks so good. Old DVD rips really do a great disservice to old anime. |

| Old anime has more soul to me, new anime can look great, but often looks somewhat sterile/formulaic, but there's certainly some exceptions. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| I'm just glad so many film masters were not thrown away. |
