So once again, another year is coming to close in our third year working on our goal to preserve as much anime on film as we can. Firstly, I would like to thank each and everyone of you Patrons for supporting us along the way, whether you’re just chipping to say thanks, or you enjoy the premium scan every month. Secondly, I would like to apolo...

Hey, guys! I wanted to give you all an update as well as a little exclusive behind-the-scenes story regarding this month's premium scan (which only $15+ Patrons can access!)
This month's premium scan is something extremely special, historic even. It is the original, 1969 opening animation for one of Japan's most well-known anime, Sazae-san...

Hi everyone!
Short update. We just shipped about 13 boxes full of 35mm and 16mm films from Japan (some of which we've teased on here!) which cost us quite a pretty penny, and we couldn't have done it without your support. Thanks a ton for continuing to allow us to acquire more films for future preservation.
The monthly scan for...

Hey everyone.
First of all I want to say, my apologies for February being so dry. Most of the month was far too busy for most of us, especially since I personally was on vacation for half of it. The fact that there was no premium scan for Patrons that month disturbs me and I will try not to let it happen again.
On that note, I will m...

Hey Digital Nekos!
It's been a while since one of these, sorry about that! Here's a new upload early for you guys! It's a capture of a 1997 promotional videotape for Seiko Matsuda's 29th original album, "My Story". Because it is a promotional videotape and was not sold to the public, it's a bit of a rare curiosity!
This is set to go ...

Hey everyone!
Hope you enjoyed what we had to offer last month. It was a little slower but I think we made up for it with bigger uploads and projects such as Dracula and the brand new re-edit of the Shadow of the Dragon trailer.
This month's premium scan is the Honey Honey opening since we've noticed lots of people are very intereste...

Hey, Patrons!
So, I've got a good amount of things to talk about in this post. I hope you'll read all of it.
This past month, we started getting into more video territory through Domesday captures of anime LaserDiscs. Maybe you've seen some of them on our YouTube channel? We feel we can still improve and refine the quality of our out...

This is a promotional/marketing videotape for the cancelled 1997 OVA "QUOVADIS", which was based on the 1995 game for the Sega Saturn.
It features what is now the only surviving footage of the OVA, which was cancelled due to...

It's a Japanese-only reissue trailer for One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), which was rereleased in Japan as part of the summer 1981 Toei Manga Matsuri! The trailer was previously lost on the internet, so we are glad to be able to bring it back!

This month it's the opening theme for "Hiatari Ryoukou" (1987), made by the studio and original creator that brought you Touch! As always, it's a 4K scan, from 16mm, and it's the raw capture, so it will be a large file.
