These episodes do not contain OP/EDs or episode previews, since I feel like that wastes space. However, creditless OP/EDs will be uploaded in the future as I release more episodes.
What was fixed:
The early retail R2J discs for the show have terrible interlacing and they don't 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 more 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.
The episodes have been lightly filtered to fix misc. problems, smooth frames, and remove noise. It still retains most detail to prevent it from losing the cel animation look and looking washed out. Some minor color correction has also been done. Examples of some corrections can be found in the spoiler tag.
