I don't know much about the technical side of things but I think this has to do with interlacing. In any case I'm watching from a DVD using Media Player Classic with CCCP, and it looks like this:

It's not very noticeable at small zoom but when I fullscreen it, it gets a bit distracting. I can live with it, but I was hoping someone knew how to get rid of it altogether?

I tried playing with Filters -> Mpeg-2 options but none of them fully got rid of the effect.

Yes, it's interlacing (or, to use a more technically correct term for this particular case, telecining). Easiest way to get rid of it is to enable some kind of deinterlacing filter, either in your decoder or in your media player. If you're using ffdshow, you can just tick the deinterlacing filter there (choose yadif as your deinterlacing method, if it's available).

Thanks for the help. I managed to get ffdshow video decoder working on the DVD and I checked "deinterlacing," (and set it to yadif) but unfortunately it didn't seem to do much. I checked "post-processing" as well and it definitely started to look better, but I'm still getting some interlacing and this odd new issue with subtitles overlapping each other briefly during transitions ( http://i.imgur.com/w03FH.jpg ).

Yes it is, and the lines are supposed to be there the entire episode? Huh. Are the overlapping subtitles an error in the disc, and not the player?

Screenshot of these overlapping subtitles? I don't remember anything like that from watching the DVDs.

Kino's Journey (don't know why people are so averse to such a straightforward translation) does indeed have artificial "scanlines" throughout the entire show. Some of the rips out there tried to filter them out, with predictably disastrous effects.

I had a screenshot in the previous post of the overlapping subtitles: http://i.imgur.com/w03FH.jpg

If it's supposed to be there then I guess that's that. Oh well.
