As for the quality, Jonathan mentioned that the quality goes down in places as they had to clean and reuse cells later in the production as they were running out of supplies during the war. I'm sure there's been loads of wear and tear on the print(s) as well, as they weren't really supposed to still exist, if the history above is correct. Quote:
As for the quality, I remember being really impressed by the animation quality, especially of the movement of the animal characters. I haven't seen the Disney propaganda, though I think I've seen Warner Bros propaganda with Bugs Bunny, though I'm not sure if it was 100% propaganda or just moments thrown in because of the mood of the time. At any rate, it would be great to have a DVD of loads of animated propaganda, especially of WWII, from both sides, and I know I'd buy it, especially if it had loads of commentary and analysis. I doubt it would be a huge seller, but it would be a great subject for a documentary. |

When i was really young (about 8 i think) I remember renting a VHS type at my local video store. it had a dutch title which loosely translates to: "The mystery of the little space prince". All I remeber is that it was mecha and I was highly impressed iwth the style of the animation and the nice story. I had no idea it was anime.
I haven`t seen it again ever..anywhere, But then again maybe I wouldn`t even recoginze it if I did. |

Yeah, Maya the Honey Bee was a classic, and one of my first anime. And I clearly remember an episode where the Venus flytrap was going to eat the grasshopper, he escaped in the end, but I would always cry during that episode...
And then, the two series that are still my favorite anime series in the world and want to find them somewhere again really badly... Moomintrolls was an excellent TV series based on an even better series of books. The TV was great because it included plenty of original storylines that weren't in the books. Still, when I was in Poland two years ago I saw a VHS of it on sale, so hopefully when I stop by there next I'll be able to get some Can you believe that Miyazaki directed one of the Moomin TV episodes? Captain Daimos is my favorite mecha series to date. Amazing. The characters and plot were way ahead of its time, as far as I remember. But I don't remember much, unfortunately. I really really want to watch this series again. |

I own a 4 episode anime on DVD called Ruin Explorers.
Also, I never hear (or see, on forums) anyone talk about Wild Arms and DNA^2. I own both of those on DVD, too. Actually, DNA^2 is bootleg, but I plan to buy the authentic box-set soon (I didn't know anything about bootlegs way back then; and I don't even think it was licensed when I bought it, either). |

Rare ay?
Macross - Do You Remember Love? - This isnt loved enough, a remake of the SDF Macross TV series, and its sheer brilliance. Megazone 23 - It wont be rare in 3 months time, but the VHS's and DVD (of the first movie) have went out of print. Great great great series of films, you can see where the Matrix got ideas from |

I gotta agree with Mr. Paper, why is it that so many people are listing licensed, widely available releases as 'rare'? Some people are mentioning anime that is available RIGHT NOW on ANIMESUKE as 'rare'. I fail to understand the reasoning.
Generally, if it's licensed, then it's not rare. Even many out of print anime can still be found if you put forth even a little effort. For example, you can pick up Space Fortress Macross on VHS with an awful dub, on Amazon. Also, if we're including fansubs, we might as well include bootlegs, you can get all of the unavailable Macross series and movies, including Flashback 2012, fairly easily, and often at pretty good quality, through bootlegs. There's a bootleg of the Macross movie 'Do You Remember Love' (of which 'Space Fortress Macross' is an edited and dubbed version of) at pretty high quality, anamorphic widescreen with decent subtitles. The original television series is legitimately available, better quality than most legitimate releases because it's an AnimEigo job, on DVD. Remastered footage, tons of liner notes, all around excellent job. Macross might be waning in popularity since the surge it had when Macross Plus came out, but it's still hardly rare. Even Macross 7 is fairly easy to come by, fansubbed or bootlegged. How someone could list Macross Zero as rare is just beyond all comprehension. It's still coming out! It's so new that it's not even finished! What's more, fansubs have been coming out for each episode at about a day or two after the latest episode hits Japan! From multiple groups! I wish I knew some of the titles of the rarest anime I've seen, all of it was raw, no translations at all, so I didn't even know the title. A friend of mine often traded fansubs with a guy that would toss on raw anime at the end of every tape. Just wish we had some of the titles, a lot of it was really nifty looking stuff that I've not seen since. The rarest I can think of offhand would be 'Hareluya Boy II'...which did show up on Animesuki...but with broken links that were never fixed. I've seen it once at an anime convention back in 1999 or so, and never seen it since. I'd love to get ahold of that, I remember it being excellent. |
