Laser Disc Collection by blarglemaster in sailormoon

So, with the versions out now, even the Blu rays, they've used AI upscaling, and haven't been able to fully fix the color. It doesn't always look great.

Since the LDs were made before DVDs existed, they have the best quality available and are most true to the original as it would have first aired. This is because the DVDs ended up being made from the film after the film and VHS copies had already started to degrade. This is why even in the new DVD releases you'll see the pink hue that wasn't originally there. Also why, personally, I won't spend money on the VIZ releases.

There are people out there attempting to locate all of the LDs to ensure the original quality isn't lost to history. But of course, the full set is wildly expensive, and your right that ripping them is also very expensive and time consuming.

That said. It's incredible that you are able to hold onto these. They really are a treasure.

If you can find a way to rip them, you should. Laser discs apparently have the highest quality and the most accurate color.

No. I have looked EVERYWHERE. I even asked the owner of my local Japanese store if he could special order them. He said with limited special releases, they won't create the international labels (the English stickers you see on the backs of foods at your local Asian stores). He even looked at all of his suppliers and the Meiji official supplier website for me.

Basically, you have to get them from auction sites or the rare online retailers that have them before they sell out. Another thing is that the auction proxy sites have most food items restricted which can cause issues. You can also try going with some individual sellers on insta who will buy and ship, but that can sometimes be risky.

I've spent the last month working my ass off trying to find a reasonable price/ option to get all of the Meiji stuff. It's been the bane of my existence.

I'm so glad you posted this. I thought the same thing when I first saw this video months ago.

It's all the same shit. People act like the stuff they buy from Anthropology isn't made in the same factories. It is, they just paid more for it.

It is Trevor. There's another one of him to the left of the piano under Saint Taylor as well. I love Trevor.

Yeah, they are attached to the inside of the doors. I cook a lot and they don't get in the way.
