This is early Mario design, where the idea of other humans existing doesn't seem strange. Of course there would be a human prince right? Modern Mario has it strangely that there is seemingly one human city modeled on New York, but the rest of the world are various creatures. Mario, Luigi, and Peach, are the only humans inhabiting the Mushroom Kingdom.

This was from like a week after the original Super Mario Bros. came out. Everything was still in flux.

[Anonymous No.8775004]

>>8774950
It's sometimes easy to forget but Super Mario Bros. was technically a sequel. And since Mario was drawing on classic cartoon characters like Felix the Cat and Mickey Mouse it stands to reason they didn't necessarily expect Peach and Bowser to become regular characters and instead figured each game would be Mario dealing with whatever problem he happened to come across, be that a giant ape kidnapping a woman, a giant reptile kidnapping a princess, etc. Like a traveling do-gooder. This movie pulls that Captain N gimmick where Mario and Luigi get sucked into the TV, the original concept being that they're from "our" world. It wouldn't surprise me if the plan was to have Mario be a more general character, based on all his appearances in other Nintendo games at the time like Wrecking Crew. The sudden success of SMB would have shifted the plan.

[Anonymous No.8775014]

>>8775004
For a very long time in canon, Mario, Luigi, and Peach, were the only humans in the setting for no reason. Nintendo for whatever reason, decided to explain that as well as explain how Donkey Kong fits into the setting. Why they felt this need, when no one really cared, is beyond me. They now need to explain how Peach made it from human settlements to becoming the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. Or if the entire royal family are human.

[Anonymous No.8775026]

>>8775014
Are you sure that was "canon" or just that those were the only characters actually depicted in the games? Pretty much every piece of tie-in media from the cartoons to comic books had other humans show up from time to time. I think what confused the issue is Toad. In the original game it's implied there isn't really a "Toad" character but just a bunch of servants. And since they're all over the place in the game it gave the impression that that accounted for the entire populace. But there's no real reason to assume that other than the fact the games have a limited cast of characters.

>It wouldn't surprise me if the plan was to have Mario be a more general character
I'm almost sure that was the plan. Mario was just a virtual actor, he could be slotted into whatever roll Nintendo needed him to be in. "Adventurer saving a Princess in a fantasy land" was just one of many.
That one just happened to be the one that catapulted him into superstardom, so he became typecast so to speak.

Didn't know this anime film existed. I just remember the one where Mario is like an inch tall where it's probably a ripoff of some preexisting Japanese fable with Mario content plastered on top of it.
Also though I don't get the appeal to turning shit into 4K or other attempts at changing old video quality. Based on that youtube link they're making it look less dark. Not sure why it matters to have it look more or less dark. Does't change the plot and it's not like the original quality is bad to the point where you have trouble making out what different objects or characters on screen are.

This is great.
These people are making better 4K/HD restorations of retro anime than the official studios who rely on extreme amounts of DNR.
The only anime restorations I've seen that don't have heavy amounts of DNR are Neon Genesis Evangelion and Studio Ghibli's restorations. Too bad they're not in 4K.
Ghibli did do their restorations in 6K but they haven't released any of their films in 4K UHD yet, not even the recent CGI one.

There are terrible instances of DNR.
The Blu-ray for Horus, Prince of the Sun has extremely terrible DNR from Q-Tec to the point that people mistook it from an upscaled LaserDisc capture, even if it was an actual HD scan.
The sad part is that this DNR'd Blu-ray is still the best version of the film available and it has some (albeit minor) improvements over the original DVD release, which was taken from a LaserDisc capture.

It depends on the OVA obviously, but reading about them it turns out a bunch of them were screened in Hong Kong as regular films. That would mean a bunch of 16mm or 35mm reels were made and likely just floating around or forgotten about. Some would pop up on auction sites, which is where they buy their films.

This is where magazines come in. They are printed on glossy paper, which lasts longer and can be used as reference. Promotional images are taken from the original cels or 16-32mm print, rather than the VHS so they are pristine and perfect.

Yes, I actually believe this film's major contribution to the Mario canon is that it's the first time Luigi is protrayed by being taller and thinner. This became part of his standard design. Green makes sense as it's the opposite of Red.

This is risky.

AI upscalers are nice to have in the absence of higher quality resources, but extrapolating "truth" from lower quality sources will neve compare to the actual truth from the highest quality source.

AI upscaling techniques are still evolving anyway, and half of it the end user learning the process to seek the best results.
There are a large number of ESRGAN models out there that are trained on specific types of data, so using them to upscale content of a similar type will be effective, whilst producing undesireable results if you present it something unrelated to the model.
For example, if you have a model trained on modern anime blu-ray rips exclusively, that's going to be unsuitable for live action footage, and likely undesireable for DVD or VHS animation that was not digitally animated.
The default model for RealESRGAN in particular tries to reproduce photography thus will start drawing things like hair/fur or brick textures when it thinks it's looking at that sort of detail, but I've observed that it often mistakes pencil on paper for hair.

But yeah that screenshot is really convincingly high quality and supports my argument that AI upscaling can be done properly.
A lot of amateur upscaling you see on YouTube uses unsuitable or even bad models.

The Domesday upscale from laserdisc source is still remarkably good quality, it's aesthetically pleasing and more than suitable for commercial consumption.

As someone else pointed out, the old processes for releasing footage resulted in color changes, due to then-available recording and distribution processes.
So upscalers are working with already encoded sources, whereas film is pure unaltered source that may require some manual color correction to look closer to previous releases or more accurate to how the production staff anticipated the end result would have (or should have) looked.
Any sort of color correction should be faithful to in-house production releases, something a fan effort would be lacking, but could still figure out from other official media.

It's basically just DVD content shipped on two blu-ray discs, but strangely each disc stores all 50 / 15 episodes as a single data stream of telecined or interlaced video, that appears to suffer from artefacts like ringing and dotcrawl as part of the old analogue to digital conversion process.

For DiscoTek this was presumably a low priority project that wasn't worth an extensive restoration process, and fine for playing on a Blu-Ray player that does all the necessary adjustments during playback. For me, it's become a learning exercise in how to use Avisynth scripts to fix the interlacing/telecine and other artefacts for the best possible 480p x264 encodes at the appropriate framerates. I still have much to figure out, Avisynth is not user friendly at all.

Since this is likely the best quality footage that'll ever be available for AoStH, this is where AI upscaling would actually be really useful, but the input must be repaired before AI upscaling can be applied.

It's definitely a moving target. If you're used to A-Ko's hair being fire engine red then it can be jarring. The reality of this process is that there's a difference between what something factually looks like versus what people actually saw. Nobody animating these things expected them to be viewed with so much clarity that you can practically see the texture of the paint. In fact, one of the reason animation even looked so different back in the 80s compared to today was because you needed to have thick linework and high contrast color gradients in order for the detail to be conveyed at all on shitty 480i TV sets.

It's really not that much different than raw pixels in old video games. It's technically the purest rendition of what a game actually looks like but everyone uses CRT filters because there's more to the story than that.

Bleh all this autism to film quality while animators are under paid and treated like trash. Who gives a shit when video look fine in 720p.

>>8777189
I've recently been doing a lot of hobby AI upscaling too, so I was interested in doing a test upscale with some footage I successfully de-interlaced, but little else.
https://streamable.com/8154s5
https://files.catbox.moe/zeyr8o.mkv

The first problem was bad input, as mentioned before the source has other artefacts that need correcting like ringing or dotcrawl (the de-interlacing corrects that to an extent, but doesn't eliminate it).
This means that later AI upscaling will upscale the artefacts instead of removing them, unless the AI model is designed to do that.
The de-interlacing process is also not correct, the animation as far as I can tell is 24fps that's been telecined to 29.97fps. My de-interlaced output has doubled the frame rate to 59.94fps
For the sake of processing (video encoding and later AI processing), this means I'm more than doubling the number of stored frames.

The second problem is the AI model I used wasn't appropriate.
I used the default RealESRGAN model that is sort of suitable for real-world material, but is prone to producing blotches of light and dark vertical stripes on flat color painted cels.

tldr; AI upscaling takes work, fix your sources and use the appropriate model.
A lot of upscaled stuff you find on YouTube will do poor jobs like these, because the initial impression is still pretty good before scrutiny.

A bit further to the AI upscaling thing, on the subject of official retro video game media.

Nintendo do an amazing job of retaining and preserving their own media, compared to companies like Square Soft.
They're just extremely selective about releasing any of it.
To date, this appears to be the best quality versions of various Metroid series illustration artwork available online.
https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/1439937492531224580
Unfortunately, they chose to distribute it in a restrained resolution, and on Twitter which further compresses the imagery. Had they distributed these images on their own website, they might be pristine quality.

Since the Twitter compressed release is still reasonably good quality, compared to other images online that are riddled with artefacts and weird floral watermarks, it's a good candidate for AI upscaling.

https://files.catbox.moe/j9khym.png

This upscale uses a combination of Waifu2X's CuNet model and RealESRGAN's 4X-Plus model, manually compositing the two in Photoshop and doing some manual filtering to get the most aesthetically pleasing result manageable.
In particular, Waifu2X is good at preserving color information whilst RealESRGAN is good at accentuating pleasing detail, but often getting color information or luma depth a bit wrong.
Some greyscale masking of the RealESRGAN output is used to apply lighten and darken filtering of the Waifu2X output with some additional noisy filtering to produce this result.

This is already a somewhat elaborate process for a single image with manual care given, imagine trying to implement this process for video. Automation would absolutely be necessary and it would be better to produce a single AI model that compasses all necessary adjustments.

[Anonymous No.8777436]

The DiC cartoons were weirdly off-model at times, apparently owing to a lack of reference material provided by the companies they were licensing stuff from.
They were limited to playing locally sourced games as reference material, which was less of a problem for the Mario cartoons and for Sonic (which took a TON of liberties), but a big problem for Captain N when every other episode featured new characters or licenses.

It's a stretch, but they might've just seen Mega Man using the Hyper Bomb acquired from Bomb Man, and went with that.

I think the alligator influence is subdued enough to be folded into the "dragon" influence on his turtle base. I just like that he has the one dominant green that isn't competing against any other color in his palette for attention, less spikes on his shell so it's easier to remember and reproduce the pattern, bracelets only on his wrists, a crown instead of a plastered-on mohawk, and better defined anatomy (the games design makes less sense the longer you look at it).

There's a rumor that when spot checking the games the tint setting on the TV was off making his sprite look green instead of blue. Don't know if that's true but it's plausible. Ben Hurst, one of the writers on Sonic the Hedgehog, said that they never actually played the games but instead were shown footage of it. There wasn't a lot of research being done. Just a quick peek and then off to the drawing board.

[Anonymous No.8777506]

>>8777457
Some of Mega Man's design was directly lifted from the box art so there's that explanation, at least. Also remember that Captain N was from 1989. Mega Man had a whole two games under his belt by then so it wasn't firmly established that being blue was all that important or iconic. And considering that even Mario and Luigi's color schemes were constantly in flux, using the game graphics as reference wasn't an automatic thing you'd do back then. Video game graphics were known to be so rudimentary that the box art typically looked nothing like what you were playing. That was part of why the crash happened since people got fed up with fanciful artwork for games that looked like ass. Nintendo even overcompensated for it's black box line of launch NES titles by being very honest about what the games looked like.

For Captain N, they had no reference material of Mother Brain to work with, so they had to have a secretary's kid brought in to beat the game for them so they could use that direct footage for design reference. Naturally, the end result was Captain N's Mother Brain being the farthest thing from the in-game design as possible.

It's vital since Laserdiscs are getting old and starting to suffer from disc rot. There's a race against time to preserve the contents in the best quality possible.

A proper Domesday rip is quite watchable, and superior to other methods which introduced more blur than is actually on the disc. I recently watched Scramble Wars, which I put off since seeing the original rip was quite poor.

A lot of niche video game OVAs are stuck in VHS/LD hell, so this is the best quality we're gonna get.

Yeah, that was part of my statement in >>8777248 that poorly done ESRGAN upscaling will look shit.

ESRGAN as a technology doesn't have just the one type of output, there are dozens if not hundreds of differently trained models that will produce results appropriate, or inappropriate to the input you give it.

This picture is also an upscale, but with a higher quality input and is a manual composite of two AI upscalers like >>8777347

>one of the reason animation even looked so different back in the 80s compared to today was because you needed to have thick linework and high contrast color gradients in order for the detail to be conveyed at all on shitty 480i TV sets.
Incidentally, this is why I find these older shows more appealing to look at. So many shows today seem to forgo contrast and clean white/black shades.

If you're a nerd who gets upset over the accuracy to the source material it's understandable why you would dislike Captain N, but as its own thing I find Captain N enjoyable as its own thing (certainly better than something like Double Dragon). I kinda wish they had done a second season of the Zelda series using the Captain N designs of Link and Zelda.

Do eh, fan edited versions of this exist? because the DVD versions removed the licensed music.

[Anonymous No.8786281]

>>8786170
Fan edited? Doubt it. But there may be VHS copies floating around somewhere with the music intact. In fact there is an alternate version of How's Bayou missing from the DVD set. The one included is the first airing with animation errors and other quirks that were changed for the reruns. And an entire episode called When Mother Brain Rules, which also had two versions, is missing entirely. Probably because it was a clip show put together by NBC itself rather than DiC which probably didn't have the masters.

They seem perfectly adequate takes on interpreting the chibi-esque graphics of the NES games they were based on with no other references. You have to remember anime was still barely even a thing and even Capcom USA couldn't figure out what to do with his big anime eyes.
