Ripping laserdiscs seems like a headache. I sent a guy a laserdisc a year ago and he still hasn't converted it.

Yeah, I looked into it a while back and it seemed pretty complicated. Seems the easiest way would be to first record the LD to a DVD then rip that.. but for archival purposes, that would lessen the quality, so it kinda defeats the purpose. There are other ways to do it, but it requires equipment that I don’t have at the moment. So I dropped the idea altogether. Maybe somewhere down the line I’ll give it a go.

Damn, that sucks. I tried posting in a video restoration forum too and it seems that nothing can be done. While I'm here I might as well post this Bluray vs CC image for ep 3, it's really just so embarrassing that the left side is an official product.
My take on few shots from episode 10

I cannot blame toei for not attempting color-correction though. The episodes are so uneven, I had to cut like every 5 seconds of the episode and color correct them separately. because every scene is different in terms of colors. It takes ages to even try to make an episode look somewhat consistent in colors.
I acknowledge that, but I also know there is no software yet capable of making accurate guesses on color jumps to cut the video automatically as well as adjusting color as nice as a person could. Also I know they won't hire 1000 people to work on this, even if they do color is subjective and even two people won't necessarily come to the same adjustment to make it consistent. And their film was so degraded in color and maybe even shot in such bad lighting conditions that even stock footage they reused is vastly different from episode to episode. What I cannot comprehend is how on earth they could lose so much detail, while de-graining. I specifically removed the grain to see how much detail could be retained and I certainly do not have access to uncompressed masters.

Maybe AI could do that in the future, & by then Toei would make a new release to milk the fans yet again.

After the whole episode being different shades of red, of course this happens on the preview. It was a night mare, it would have looked much better if I just redid it with the frames from the actual episode, but I wanted to try and see what can be done with this kind of... Yeah, the red shots are much easier to work with overall. Still weird how this kind of extremes could happen on the same episode. Color correcting the whole show is something only a fan could do properly. If someone is being payed to do it they will ultimately rush the job as they are payed for their time.

^Ironically the regular HD Blu-rays included has the 4:3 versions which is new because the original Blu-rays for those were 16:9 only...

But the creator of the thread is working on it as well and seems determined.
