That’s what you get when you try to make something very small, it can’t be avoided. You either have to deal with that or stick with the good version despite the size.

1. We didn’t upload, A&C did.
2. The point is to provide an encode roughly the equivalent of a UHD-BD. The raw is already more than 1TB, so we don’t want to neuter it with a crappy LQ encode. This is as low as we’re willing to go. If you want that then you’re free to download it and do it yourself.

A&C has taken the liberty of releasing this in 4K using our scan, & they’ve included a number of audio and subtitle options…
LATAM, Castellano & French dubs along with the OG JPN audio…
And their own new Spanish subs, along with Saizen’s English subs!
Many thanks to their team!

As mentioned, this & the rest of Captain Tsubasa has never been remastered in HD officially. Here are some comparison images from the DVD!

New upload! Clip from the 1987 live-action adaptation of Shakotan Boogie, scanned by us from a 35mm print, subbed by LonelyChaser Fansubs!
This film was only ever released on VHS/LD, & streaming uses an SD master, making this the only HD version out there!

Yeah that’s completely incorrect and no such fire took place.

The master film is not lost at all, since the HD remaster was done using the original finalized negative.
However, what likely was disposed of/not kept was that pre-videotape animation they used to shoot the visual effects like you see in that one shot on this roll. That probably can’t be recovered.

It’s not possible. Aside from like one cut in a trailer, no other β€œuncensored” footage exists. Aside from these cuts, the entire movie was already in its original version. bsky.app/profile/kine...

There are no other scenes that were cut from the print. It is possible that shots seen uncut on a pre-release trailer were pre-censored before release, but this is all that we found was swapped. You may also be confusing censorship for shots with intentional video effects.
That means that, as far as can be actually proven with our analysis of the theatrical print and the spliced-out uncut segments, is that anything else that was left there was intentional, and only these scenes specifically were the result of a rushed censorship attempt by Toei.

In case you're wondering why there isn't MORE uncut footage than previously seen, it's because it never existed at all. This was all there was the whole time. Anything else that may have been altered was done before theatrical release, & was likely intentional from the beginning.

It was not included on this reel. Pretty sure that one was only ever uncut on a pre-release trailer of the movie.

This uncensored footage was discovered attached to a 35mm print on the main feature, originating from a film collector in Japan, who is assumed to have acquired them from a movie theater there. The feature itself is censored, yet exhibits very rough and poor tape splices precisely at the same points where these uncensored clips begin and end. This strongly suggests that the uncensored segments were physically spliced out from the feature and replaced with their censored counterparts, likely at the theater itself during the film’s exhibition.
Accordingly, it is inferred that the film was initially distributed by Toei in an uncensored form, but the censored materials were subsequently issued and distributed to theatersβ€”presumably in response to negative feedback about violence shown in the movie, though the exact causes remain unknown. There is practically no chance that it will ever be released in its original uncensored form again.
This 35mm print in its censored form and the attached uncensored footage were obtained and scanned by us in 4K. Some basic restoration and color correction have been applied. Aside from the infamous low-quality footage originating from an Italian VHS release, this is the first time any other legitimate source of this uncensored footage has appeared, and in proper high definition to boot. We present this legendary footage, unaltered and uncut, for the first time in decades. We share these select shots with permission from the print owner, but it is not possible for us to share any more than this out of our obligations, so thank you for understanding.
[NOTE: Even within this uncensored portion of the footage, there was still one shot that was visibly edited on videotape and then kinescoped back to 35mm film, but this may be a case of intentional experimentation, as the shot in question contains a very complex visual effect that may have been only possible to achieve on video at the time of production.]
