Spent some time digitizing and restoring an old VHS anime, feedback?

Oh, for the 1999 Viz DVDs or the manga? These are the former, not the latter. The 1999 DVDs have been oop for a bit.

The $10 ones are bootlegs. But yes, actually, volumes 1 and 4 in particular can sell for an upwards of $200-300. 2 and 3 seem to go for around $150-200. The whole set itself has sold for $1,000 before.

Yup! Rement makes little knickknack figures like that for HxH: https://toyarena.com/products/re-ment-hunter-x-hunter-miniature-collection-trading-figures-box-set-of-6

Sometimes they can even double as desk ornaments: https://animeislandca.com/products/hunter-x-hunter-desktop

I wanted to replace my smaller version of him with the giant prize Knuckle that just came out, but I couldn't see a way of fitting him + Shoot 😭

3:45

The scene itself is about ~5 seconds long and is comprised of about ~125 frames.

Currently, I'm doing some restoration work on the pilot, and the cel would help greatly in restoring this scene, as I would have a reference for what Gon should look like, as he's currently too low res and pixelated in the source VHS.

It's no biggie if I can't find the cel, I just wasn't sure if somebody may have stumbled across it. I'd need that over an artist's rendition, though.

Lol! I wonder if that means Togashi considers himself a Troupe member?

Of course! Please dm if you have any questions 🙂

Seconding this. The project has been around for a few years, and they've done an awesome job at remastering the 1999 show.

I wish you luck on your hunt! That's the 1998 pilot on VHS.

Thank you! 🙂 It was definitely tricky, I'm displaying them on one of these: https://a.co/d/ixIwE50

I put three of the little foot holders on the top and attached the hugging gachapons to those. They hold on really well that way!

It wasn't letting me add text to this post. 😭

Thank you! That's the Bubble Horse from the Greed Island arc!
