So we're going through some CC fixes for Samurai Pizza Cats and we need some help on some lines. This thread will have a few clips. Can anyone identify what the narrator is saying here after "will cut through anything" and before "Barbara bush's hairspray?"

Today is a key date in Deaf Crocodile history, because on this date in 1981, FRANKENSTEIN: LEGEND OF TERROR was released in Japan! Deaf Crocodile will be releasing the newly restored Blu-ray of this gory yet humane spin on the classic tale this October! #deafcrocodile #bluray #toeianimation

40 years ago today. Personally, Robotech: The Movie is more than the sum of its parts. As a film, it's...not great. But as a landmark of the burgeoning anime market outside of Japan at the time, it's a significant indicator of the growing pains the business endured, to bring us where we are in 2026.

The above posted link contains (what *should* be) a Blu-ray compliant encode of the movie, along w/ a case insert that if printed 1:1 and precisely trimmed, should allow you to create a functional physical copy.

As it stands, it's a confusing mess (even when viewed through adult eyes). That said, it plays host to many memorable vocal performances from industry staples, including Kerrigan Mahan, Greg Snegoff, Richard Epcar, Michael McConnohie, Edie Mirman, Wendee Lee, and Robert Barron (among others).

Honestly my favorite elements of the whole production; the dubbing work and the soundtrack. Thankfully, the entirety of the soundtrack (more or less) exists commercially through a few compilations of Robotech music. My goal was to give the movie's overall audio a similar level of reference quality.

Perhaps presented differently (i.e. without the Masters segments forcibly crammed in), history would look upon it more favorably. As someone who was seated for Transformers: The Movie shortly after this premiered, there was an unquestionable appetite for this type of animation on the big screen.

The goal of getting this transferred was primarily the audio. This capture as a whole is for posterity/archival/reference purposes, as it's the "cleanest" commercial form released before it was swept under the rug.

I saw a scant mention of the Dirty Pair Kickstarter in reference to Crunchyroll’s ongoing tomfoolery, and thought it’d be a good idea to reshare my investigation into the situation.

Anime News Network@animenewsnetwork.com

Dirty Pair fans came out of the woodwork to back this project—to the tune of US$731,406 what they got were years of delays, authoring problems, and a disc wrapped in a napkin. What happened?

This Saturday (7/25) is the 40th anniversary of Robotech: The Movie's limited test run premiere. To celebrate, I'll be dropping an encode from a Domesday Duplicator capture of the PAL LaserDisc, along with a brand new HD recut, utilizing the disc's audio.

Jefferson Taylor
@jeffersontaylor.com

Unfortunately, the disc isn't perfect (visually), however the audio is *exceptionally* clean, and was the missing component to a truly high quality reconstruction of the film. Used copies are incredibly scarce, as are the people who can handle PAL Domesday captures stateside.

It is really interesting to see just how many companies, especially in tech, have completely forgotten the purpose they're supposed to serve, and their sole mission is "boost shareholder value". If you don't make something people want, you will fade away eventually.

Sealed, extra copy arrived a few days ago. $45 shipped (as pictured) within the US for anyone interested. Please DM if you'd like to scoop it up.

Going to wind up w/ 2 physical copies of the Rave Racer 30th Anniversary Remix over the next 2 (or so) weeks from both PlayAsia, and a proxy service. If anyone is looking to buy one from a US based seller at cost, I'll have one available.

New upload! The opening animation for the US version of the 1960s 8th Man anime, scanned from a 16mm print in 4K by us, courtesy of @reQThoney! This was uniquely made for the US version by Hal Seeger Productions when it was syndicated on American TV! youtu.be/xs0kk3VOjVw

I've taken each disc from this set for a few laps already (since yesterday). It's such an incredible love letter to not only the game itself, but the spirit of the Ridge Racer series as a whole. Modern production and mastering allow us to hear certain samples & elements clearer than ever.
