What was fixed:
The early retail R2J discs for the show have terrible interlacing and they don't always follow any specific pattern. Most of it is field-blended interlace along with occasional frame-blending. Automated IVTC solutions would sometimes work on segments of the episodes, but left artifacts like aliasing, shimmering lines, or additional blended frames. Mostly all of that has been fixed in this release along with complete removal of interlace. I have not seen another release that addresses this.
Chroma "smearing" occurs throughout these episodes due to poor analog-to-digital composite transfer. Colors carry over from previous frames, especially during scene changes or dark scenes. This issue has been reduced and in some cases completely repaired by manual frame-by-frame duplication in low-motion areas. Some scenes have long strings of smearing that cannot be repaired by duplication alone. I have yet to come up with a solution for this and there likely isn't one, unfortunately.
The episodes have been lightly filtered to fix as many residual problems as possibles, smooth frames, and remove noise. It still retains most detail to prevent it from losing the it's original look. Some minor color correction has also been done in a few scenes but not much, since that is messy business.
I previous uploaded episodes of Part 1 that had yet to be remastered. Because of feedback here and elsewhere, more precise filter methods, and better encoding settings, I will be redoing Part 1 in it's entirety before moving on to Part 3. Be sure to keep a lookout!
