i hate this so much especially for games, many are like “but it’s piracy!!” who gives a shit it’s the only copy & preservation is way more important. a huge shame and loss when lost media is found but falls in the hands of someone who refuses to dump it

@@sincostan999 The piracy has nothing to do with it. Those guys are just jerks. Guys like that are thinking. " well I paid 13000 for this anime. Why should I give it away." When a smart guy would ask for donations to recoup his loses. Plenty of fans would pay to see it restored. He is being greedy but getting nothing for his greed.

I mean, if your hobby revolves around feeling validated for hoarding shit then I wouldn't expect less of a gollum behavior. Not speaking about every collector of course, but given how common the locked lost media is because of collectors, it's no surprise.

@@El_Chuchuca To be fair, the longer they keep it the more it's going to be worth and eventually some enthusiastic billionaire might come along handing you a fake check just so they can watch it. It's greedy af but you essentially have a priceless collectible that can't be reproduced and by making copies of it you tank the value to virtually worthless. If you had like an ancient coin and the value of it was just going up year by year you'd probably be hesitant to sell it let alone giving it away for a fraction of the price it's worth...

I’ve started doing it when I was kid back in 2014

One time I was doing a school assignment about comparing how advertising methods change over time. And there is one (1) guy on KZfaq who uploads thousands of old commercials from the 80s and 90s with exact dates and everything. Nobody cares about a stupid ad when it airs but given time, it becomes cultural knowledge and is worth something to someone.

Preserve your favorite memes, books, uhhh

Speaking of methods previously only theoretically possible, there was a lost episode of a British TV show that was found in a warehouse in Nigeria, where the film reel had degraded to the point where most of the layers had fused together. Being the only known copy, and unable to be unrolled, it was cut into pieces with a laser, then digitally scanned with a DENTAL X-Ray and algorithmically separated and stitched back together. It was an episode of Morecambe and Wise, if you're curious.

That's the most depression thing about doing historical research in my opinion. You hear about this book written by an author a thousand years ago via a quote from an author that live a century later whose written got quotes by someone at the medieval times. Getting any actual writing from before the middle ages is exceptionally rare and so much of what we know prior to that time survived through quotations, commentaries or fragments. In some ways the rise of copyright and authorship made preservation harder.

@@khankhomrad8855 Sometimes it can also be sad to see what did survive. For Classical and Roman history there were many scholarly works written about the political events, occurrences, etc. But so much of it was lost, and yet, somehow, through the crisis and burnings and religious upheaval of the Roman Empires collapse that destroyed 90% of their writings and works, through the following dark ages, the fanatic religious burnings of pagan books, Medieval ages, the fall of Constantinople, both world wars, The Historia Augusta survived. A book that straight up makes up 85% of the content written into it and can best be described as the personal propaganda of a deranged man.

The Great Library of Alexandria. 😭😭😭

It's even worse for Greek and Roman paintings. Virtually none survived at all and of the masterpieces we have only some descriptions. And for what is mentioned in written sources, painting was as developed as sculpture and architecture in the classical world. Can you imagine living in a world where we only know of Raphael, Michelangelo or Rembrandt from some quotations in books? That's our situation with regards to Classical Painting, we know names like Zeuxis, Pahrrasius and Apeles, but not a lot more.

​@@marlonbryanmunoznunez3179 It's so tragic. I only learned about encaustic paintings about 7 years ago. A technique lost for 1500 years! I'll never understand how humans seem driven to erase cultures that are different from their own. History and art is life, and life is precious.

@@GarkKahn bruh you might aswell describe in detail the medium which you talk of.. -🙄

Or in *Star Wars* when people joke about how "Han shot first" in the Mos Eisley cantina. Sure - there may _theoretically_ have been a version where Greedo never shot at Han, but no media currently exists that proves that to be the case.

​@@ap4301 I doubt it matches the original film. The earliest major changes to the film were 2 months into it's original run. Also in interviews leading up to episode 5 everyone seemed to think it would be called Star Wars 2 because the text crawl to the first one hadn't added "Episode 4" yet.

​@@atomicdancer There IS an official version of Episode IV on DVD that does include Han shooting first. It was on a bonus disc from a re-release, but it's kind of terrible - it's widescreen, shrunk to fit in 4:3 with black bars at the top and bottom. I think there were some sections in the Despecialized edition that used parts of it that they had upscaled, but they have since found film reels with a lot of those missing sections.

A big fire just a few years ago wiped out a lot of studio copies of the works of popular bands, so even big popular media can be lost that way. All we have now is copies.

Couldn't you just rip the tracks from an ELO CD? PS: The whole album is awesome, too. One of my desert island discs!

@@worldcomicsreview354 Well, since you're asking, yes. That's what I did, in effect. I got FLACs of all of the audio in question, which were Intro/Twilight from ELO's Time, and a track from a Japanese album from the early 80s. Tracking down the music used in those shorts (Daicon III especially) was half of the challenge. But to answer your question more specifically, no, it wasn't as simple as just dropping the music in. I very painstakingly took note of the timings of each fade-out and each edit. Twilight had several edits, for example, and even though they weren't very precise, I reproduced them accurately, down to single samples out of 44.1Khz. I also had to ensure that the speed of the track was a match-Twilight plays a little faster in Daicon IV than on the album. The result is indistinguishable from the film's original audio, aside from the fact that it's in stereo whereas the film had been mono since 1983.

Fun facts: Jimi Hendrix's favorite bands were ELO, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Boston & Muddy Waters's Blues Band. Even Jimi Hendrix loved ELO to heaven & back.

I get you man. I've played the DAICON IV on youtube on mute with the CD quality rip running on my PC media player.

Going through all that to share & preserve anime is true king behavior. I have a lot of respect for that!

You do realize that cel animation was NEVER meant to be a collectible artform? They make the cels for the show, shoot them on film once, and that's supposed to be it! They don't have the storage facilities to house all that artwork and the medium (the plastic card) the artwork is inked and painted on wasn't intended to last for decades! Shrinkage of cels is normal and so is paint flecking. That's why I prefer production line art on paper. The paper WILL yellow but at least the pencil lines won't flake off and change crazy colors like cel art does! They had to remix the colors ALL the time because paint is a chemical. Chemicals degrade over time. That stuff in a tube doesn't necessarily remain the same color 10 years later! You think Gundam Wing was a big deal? I've seen Disney art from the 1930s, things like their Silly Symphonies and Snow White. It's generally in better shape than the Japanese stuff because believe it or not entertainment product in Japan is even more disposable than the US! They generally don't take great care of anime cel art in Japan because they have tons of it they can't get rid of!

@@AvengerII In fact, back in the 80s some companies would just let random people walk in and take cels from the stack that had already been photographed.

@@mechadeka That doesn't surprise me. I don't know that the attitude has changed much since then. Most cels aren't worth that much unless they're from popular/legendary movies and TV series and how many things are really THAT popular decades later? That big-spender fans are the ones who set the rates! I'm not much into animation art collection; I'd rather get official art books or production drawings. Animation cels fall apart over time! I know the late Carl Macek had a ton of cels from different anime. He used to run an art gallery that sold animation cels and he had tons of anime cels including art from Macross. Those Macross cels are long gone... The Lupin III, Part 3 cels weren't selling when his collection went up online. (Lupin III art is kind of ugly; I didn't become a fan of that show because of the art style!) His widow was trying to clean out some storage lockers I guess! They don't make cels for anything anymore. The ink and coloring is all done digitally; Disney started that process over 30 years ago. One of the last series that used animation cels was Justice League Unlimited (2005?). Around the same time, I think most anime production houses went to digital ink and paint.

Also, the way anime was digitised meant that it was all technically pixel art and would go through an anti-aliasing/smoothing filter after the colouring process, guaranteeing that it will be blurry (even in 2022).

I happened to find one of those $5000 TVs at a thrift store for cheap. 1080p resolution, xboxhueg screen, gorgeous color, seems it was a floor model that went unsold I watch ancient blurry anime on it all the time

Notice how the highest quality Bobobo is in is 480p.

@@SACKBOY123432 Sadly, she didn't keep any of their old VHS tapes OTL I remember distinctly an episode with the bunny girl and her friend who was a bear boy, I don't remember what that episode was about. The other episode was the bunny girl and a stuck up fox girl, and the fox girl became friends towards the end. I wish she kept them, but it sounded like they tossed all their old VHS tapes years ago. OH YEAH, and the show was introduced by a nice old lady like she was telling stories I believe. This was like two decades ago though.

I once looked up episodes of the Italian dub of Mokku of the Oak Tree as they were apparently uncut, likely containing the original music score even, but back then I just assumed it was treated with more respect for being based on the Italian story of Pinocchio. According to Wikipedia, the series has never been released in its entirety on home video in the original Japanese, not that I could find a single episode in Japanese anyway!

Heidi became so popular, especially in European countries. It also started The World's Masterpiece Theatre series.

@@BagOfMagicFood It most likely was more popular here in Italy, pinocchio is still a popular character because of how timeless it is. I find interesting how they were supposedly fully uncut though: I've seen some cartoons displaying full-on violence with no censors nor cuts, but Mediaset is usually very strict on what can pass on tv or not. Just to name one a couple of cuts and censoring from my childhood: Cat's eye got apparently censored a lot because it mentions periods and a lesbian couple, while Dragonball Z and Dragonball all got their respective "sexual oriented" scenes removed. As for the scores, it's usually a dubbing audio-mixing thing. Most cartoons actually had different sound effects because of copyright or simple choices from the mixing team, but some effects and mostly music comes from the original company, so Im quite sure they just happened to have the original score and just shoved it in the italian version.

@@notationmusical Im honestly surprised, most of the cartoons we got were barely even around in the english part of internet, it's nice to see that atleast some of them got the recognition they deserve. :) Not that we don't appreciate them enough in here: Heidi in particular still has reruns on the RAI's kids channel to this day

Heidi is very popular in both Germany and South Africa as well.

Hey Kenny, i think it would be pretty cool if you pin up kineko's comment

Something happened recently with a obscure small japanese PC game called Cookie's Crumble. Apparently it became lost media despite being made in the 1990s and then somehow a copy of it found its way online. The guy who owns copies of the game was pretending to be the creator and getting the game taken down including taking down and DMCA'ing Let's Play's of the game on youtube and twitch because he was afraid having the game be available would harm the value of the game he had physically since there's barely any copies. Scummy people honestly.

The fact that collectors think that releasing something to the public make something be worth less when that can never happen, if that was true then why are DVDs so expensive when the shows or movies are on streaming services? Hell, the opposite can happen if they release something to the public Those people only care about money and shouldn’t be allowed to collect anything

@@ADreamingTraveler thats nuts

There are a couple of old book series that I read as a kid that I haven't been able to find again as an adult. I have seriously considered buying old copies so I can scan them and/or transcribe them and donate them to the internet archive or project Gutenberg. Unfortunately, some of the old Star Wars books were prime among them and I'd really rather not deal with a media titan trying to come after me on those. Might just have to copy those quietly so multiple people have a shot at getting them out there once the copyrights expire.

And it's reading crap like this that makes me feel so much better about hoarding the timecode-less uncut "gouge your eyes out" bit from the Sven Hoek episode of Ren and Stimpy that was given to me, to this day. Knowing that people still justify media piracy for funsies and call it "media preservation" as if it's the same thing. Yeah, that's why I also hoarded the unreleased workprint of the "Man's Best Friend" episode of Ren and Stimpy years before Paramount put it on the DVD, too.

It's NOT a loss to have old media die off. This is entertainment and usually pretty BAD entertainment. It's like a video game from the 1980s. There's a game called Marble Madness which many people are familiar with, but a new game called Marble Madness II was made, but NEVER RELEASED and whoever owns it, guards it. They won't release the roms, you only see videos of it sometimes, only a handful of people have played it. So what? Do you want to play Marble Madness I? Probably not but you can. Do we really need to save the Super Mario Brothers movie? How many films have you seen from the 1930's and 40's? There's plenty. Have you seen Momotaro: Sacred Sailors? It's available. Have you seen A Trip To the Moon by Georges Méliès?

@@fuzzywzhe Why do you want media to be lost though?

@@BJGvideos I don't know if much of this media is worth preserving. It's fine to preserve, but most media simply isn't worth archiving. If people want to make the effort, that's fine, but I think it's purposeless. Time filters out what isn't worth preserving. I can show you films from the 1980's, 1960's, 1940's that once you watched them you wouldn't care if you ever saw them again, or anybody else did. Film and television is a sort of art, but there's a lot of garbage art out there.

@@fuzzywzhe Well yeah but who knows. Even a bad movie can be worthwhile. Maybe it's the first movie of someone who only gained appreciation years later. Maybe it's the only adaptation of a lost book. Maybe someone just wants to see their grandma, who used to be an actress.

I love 80s, 90s, early 2000s anime myself. Im a 90s kid so I could be bias. But I find the hand drawns to convey so much more mood and emotion. Watching modern anime is like watching a kids cartoon in comparison. All colorful and fast moving to grab attention. Where before because the scenes took so long to draw the entire mood would be slow and set to see them. Same with current facial expressions. All jittery or quick to finish a sentence. Very little time is spent on focusing on the character or their thoughts because the next new shiny scene is waiting. The comparisons that come to mind of old anime would be like the original trigun, cowboy bebop, heat guy J, black lagoon, grave of fireflies, or desert punk among many others. I always called them dark anime for their more deeper tones and moods. However rare those great pieces were even then. In modern 3d character anime they all seem to be semi detailed above a basic background making the characters look above the background with their quick movements. Which in old way of drawing the characters looked the same as their background and fit into it looking believably. Of course making anime cheaper to produce is why this has occurred and the more expensive hand drawn are far more rare now. But in my opinion 3d objects in animation hold up the best with quality and time. Vehicles, buildings, objects can all look great with texture. Its 3d animated character that are often not enough. I will leave the exception to star wars the clone wars animated series. They proved its possible to make 3d animation blend together excellently. Well that is my opinion on this topic. As a 32 year old who was the odd outlier in highschool that would stay up to 2am on school nights just to catch these great shows on adult swim.

@@geronimo5537 It depends. The huge problem with manual animation is how expensive it was, which is why tv series tend to be of such poor quality, little animation, almost no transitions 8 fps, etc. Usually you would only see the "true" quality in a movie. In the 80ies there was much frustration from animators, which is interesting is how they managed to put out stuff "without limits". A little like Gainax's Otaku no Video. Project A-Ko basically was an open invitation, it is a segmented movie, each segment with their own animators, etc and they told them this: "No limits". A normal tv show would restrict the number of cells you had available per episode, so this was a project to vent their frustration. Even Hayao Miyazaki got involved (uncredited). Also most of it was spent in menial work, specifically ink filling, it was often outsourced to other asian countries because of cheaper labor. When digital started showing in production from around 1997, it was this sweatshop work that was phased out first. Now there is kinda of a mix, some people still draw by hand the outlines (with a tablet), but its digitally filled, and others are full 3D to 2D. On the other hand this did increase the level of the low end. The earliest episodes of Ginga Eiyu Densetsu (Laserdisc original release) are infamously of very poor quality. so bad that they remade many scenes digitally a decade later with the DVD release. There are also infamous slideshows like the Violinist of Hamln (which has nothing to do with the original light/comedy manga and was turned dark). It was very common in 70ies and 80ies to drop the framerate to 8fps as a means to lower costs, and avoid transitions, etc, giving it sometimes a "slideshow" experience (you get used to it). They did whatever they could to lower costs, or they had a budget cut in the middle, had to change animation studio, etc (happened to Saint Seiya at least 3 times). Gainax went with 8mm film for Daikon. In the 80ies copyright in Japan was more tolerant, this is why you see direct references to western and local IP, same as Project A-Ko. Its not possible to do that anymore. Its amazing they could do such cool things for a fan Sci-Fi convention. But its not allowed anymore, until some roque people start playing with AI tools and release anonymously...

I mean, it’s kinda cool, but I don’t need this smarmy oaf raggin’ on shit

The story of the “recovery” of Tenth Planet Episode 4 is a hell of a story.

I still have to finish the recovered episodes, interesting story lines on them but my god they're hard to sit through with how outdated they are. Every scene is just stretched out for like 5 minutes too long which is understandable because cameras were bulky af and hard to move back then so they can't just change the scene every 5 seconds and move the camera around but everything just feels so slow paced and static in old movies. Interesting to see how film evolved over the years as cameras got lighter and easier to move, probably even gonna get a lot of aerial shots in the future now that we can use drones for filming or even 360 cameras so I expect to see some interesting developments in the coming years...

Considering that a Betty Boop episode was recently unearthed in 2019 (Buzzy Boop at the Concert) after it had been lost for about 80 years, I still have some hope for really old films. Though it would be nice to get other old films and shorts again. There was a gigantic storage film fire in 1937 under 20th Century Fox. So many films were lost in that fire, it was crazy. There was one spot where the flames shot out the building 100 feet *sideways*. A mother and her 2 children were burned by the fire, too, and the 13 year old died of his injuries a week later. For visual aid, the length of the fire shooting out sideways was longer than 5 Chevrolet Suburbans parked bumper to bumper with 2 inches between them. Not even that is long enough.

@@pablocasas5906 If I am not mistaken Shadar comes from SHelichei DERabonan Emissary of Rabbis...Japanese anime and series loved referencing Judaic-Christian mithology: Ultraman crucified, Trinity Blood, Shadar, Evangelion, etc...

@@pablocasas5906 PS this can be just a coincidence as very little can be found about the creation process of this anime. But think the villain is GHOSTar so is not a stretch that SHADar comes from shadow.

Probably a lot.I remember when I was young I watched an anime series from my mom's tv and when I tried to search where it is now I can't find any trace. Did that only happen to me? 😬

@@sunburst1889 it took me a while to search Ninja Robots which I used to watch as a kid so I get your point.

@@sunburst1889 I had a similar experience with a dub. When I was little I had a VHS English dub of Shimajiro, called Learningland. I stupidly got rid of it twenty years ago and finally found a (bad) upload of it here on KZfaq. There's no information on the dub anywhere so I was shocked to find it when I looked it up on a whim. I hope the upload is still up, I should download it in case it gets removed.

Or anime dubs, like the Space Ace anime’s English dub (I’m talking about an anime based on a manga, not anything relating to the lazer disc video game of the same name)

@@Jojo_D_Northstar Im having a similar experience, though with a game instead of a show, played it for a week as a young kid and never remembered it's name or even the console it was on besides it either being 360 or the Wii, I only have vague pictures and memories of the game in my head to go off of as well, unfortunately still haven't found it and nobody seems to know it either

For real. I've even gotten complaints from people

There'll be thanks, but they wont be spoken out loud. I'm endlessly grateful for the archivists that are making old and/or obscure anime, western TV and other media available for people such as myself to watch online!! It's true, somebody's gotta do it

"Devotion has no reward."

True, this is the sole reason I'm able to enjoy some of that sweet, sweet, 1960's Doctor Who goodness. Even if a lot of that era is still missing, at least you can experience... something...

That was a great episode from a great show.

Wow good obscure connection!

That was my jamz back in the day

​@Orkhiss Dood this was an RP session. We were re-doing that scene including mistaking a VCR cassette for a Betamax cassette

Kenny Lauderdale is going to be that guy in 10 years. Godspeed, General Lauderdale.

It's a real news report

His name is Thomas Edward Fanella and the TV station that he worked for is called KTEH San Jose. He's an early pioneer for the medium and I'd bet that he's the reason why anime is as big as it is now as he exposed a huge amount of people to anime in the early days. He sadly passed away on 2007 after battling cancer though.

@@kingly456 Heck yeah, dude. \M/ I bet he's watching Anime with Astro Boy & The Golden Bat's creators.

@@Claymann71 In the days of Astro Boy (60s) it wasn't thought of as anime but just cartoons. The "anime" label is more modern, mostly arising around the 90s.

@Tom_ig Revolutionary Girl Utena

I've always loved this phenomenon. The funny thing is that we _still_ haven't tapped the full potential of film. Everything that's been mastered from, say, 16mm to 1080p... still needs yet another scan in order to render the footage as HDR. That means literally almost everything that isn't black & white.

Unfortunately, most films from that era were lost due to them being made from silver nitrate, which is even more prone to deterioration than more modern film, _and_ is extremely flammable.

@@Akira625 A lot of early celluloid French films were melted to make boots for soldiers in WW1.

VHS allowed for high framerate video, though, and if they really wanted to they could have tried delving into HD VHS or Digital VHS -(which would probably be worse than DVD)- but it was already on its way out. Also, no contest, DVD was the worst format of them all.

The worst paper pamphlet will last 100 years with only modest attemps at preservation (put it on a shelf away from direct sunlight in a reasonably dry room). Good luck reading a collection of ebooks on an SD card after that long. 78rpm shellac records wil be around after every casette has demagnetised and every CD delaminated, too. Vinyl records will last longer, but will one day be oil again.

The original benos and dandys? Even viz?

Back in the days where they didn't archive anything.

@@skootergirl22 Eagle and TV Century 21. I think DC Thomson returned original art to creators, and Viz used to keep it in their offices, where it probably still is (until the late 90's it was mostly drawn by people who had all known each other since childhood)

You have to chuckle. The first guy looks somewhat like don lawrence but not as good. The second is too realistic and the third is meh

TRUUUUEE!! That could be a really cool plot for an episode!

I'd say this is below his pay grade, but at the same time, it's absolutely something Lupin would do anyway

This couldn't have come out at a better time

Kinda why I'm like "make a DVD of things like the Dark Crystal series, or cartoons like Infinity Train." - never know when what we enjoy could be lost.

@@kennylauderdale_en simply one of my favorite videos on the platform lol

He ought to retitle the video to be more accurate to what the video is about first

Same

Area88 needs another another and definitely a reprint i forgot who the company was the mde the original Mangas. Maybe spreading the world can help

A group actually was scanlating it, did one issue post-Viz run, but then had to cancel. So infuriating. That being said, Area 88 Bankobans are readily available on Japanese Ebay.

I just watched it randomly with my friend and we had a blast it was fantastic

Damn I need to know more after clearing AC7.

Aaaaa, I collect Area 88! Started buying them in, like, the late nineties, because someone had sold a small stack to a used bookstore I frequented. It's becoming really hard to find issues I'm missing... Good stuff, I love it!

Clutter kills sometimes, though. And you can't really live in the past. Sometimes, when push comes to shove, you just have to dump things in the can and walk away.

The first superhero was actually from japan that golden bat dude

On 9anime they have alot of really old 60's and 70s anime

Silent movies are the holy grail of lost media man, so many films seemingly gone to time, perhaps waiting to reappear when we least expect

@@bureidokaiza2829 definitely and those that are found are almost never accessible. Heck, even tons at the LOC are preserved and you still can't see them!

The lost 1916 Phantom of the Opera adaptation "Das Phantom der Oper" 😩😩😩

While a large majority of surviving Kamishibai works are made in as early as the mid-late 1960s and mostly aimed at young children (this evolution is primarily due to successful nationwide campaigns created by reasonably annoyed Japanese bluenoses), the art of Kamishibai itself was originally made for adults.

Where do you find these old fansub tapes. I have been looking for some.

This is why people fight to get DVD and CD releases if their media. You copy it onto a digital drive or another physical device and then keep the master copy safe.

@@Charles_Anthony exactly. Been backing up my ps2 games. I have the og, a burn, and a digital copy of each game. Nobody is taking them from me or future generations.

Can I know who backups these things would love to follow them

​@@GoldenWolf115Make sure your backups aren't just in one location to so a natural disaster can't take them either.

I think I can forgive Kenny, most Americans can't differentiate Spanish from Portuguese Kind of weird he mentioned Perú and Venezuela when Shadar was actually dubbed in México

Yes, it was the other way around….minor mistake

Gringos....

@@pablocasas5906A correction is a correction, no one was saying he did something that needed “forgiveness”.

@@pablocasas5906 Being able to differentiate spanish and portuguese don't really have anything to do with actually knowing/googling a countries language.

Don't worry about mids and what they think of you. What matters is what your friends think of you, and if they're you're friends in the first place. Solve for X, not X + everything else. If one of my friends tells me, "they swear they saw X, they weren't high, they didn't make it up, etc." I consider all the possibilities, but that includes the possibility that they remember it exactly and correctly, and I don't jump to conclusions. I tend to err on the side of "they have no reason to lie about that".

That's probably some sort of modern mental illness, where your brain is unable to distinguish reality from having internet access 24 7. Id recommend going camping for like 2 weeks with no electronics and you'll be g2g for a little while. Rinse and repeat as needed.
