An Important Announcement

Hey, everyone.

This is something we plan on sharing later this week with the public, but choosing to announce this early here so our biggest supporters can process the information a little longer than the rest of our followers. There are also some images in this post that will make more sense as you read on. The Twitter announcement will be a very abridged and much more casual version compared to what you're about to read, but some of this information will also be amended to the FAQ on ...

So Where's the Patreon Money Goin' Anyway?

Hey, everyone, and an especially warm welcome to the new faces around too!

Before I get to talking about my main story here I just want to say, I'm so happy that people are enjoying the Mario restoration, it truly means the world to all of us on the team!

That said, we did find some issues on the audio when dematrixing it through a Pro-Logic or similar surround system, so we'll be posting a fix at a later time. For now, please enjoy it in regular stereo.

Now, another reason ...

Early Access Upload #4 for Digital Tier

Hey, Digital Tier!

Here's another clip comparing the Mario raw scan against our restoration. This scene was pretty bad in the raw in particular so it's a great opportunity to show our work.

This will go live on Friday as the final teaser before the premiere of the movie on Saturday, but you guys get to see it a few days early! Enjoy!

Mario Premiere Announcement + Remaster Images!

Hey, everyone!

So, I will formally announce this later in the week on our Public Discord Server (join it if you haven't already!) but just to let you guys know:

Our 4K Restoration of Super Mario Bros. - The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! will premiere on YouTube on Saturday, April 16 at 2pm PST/5pm EST!

That's less than a week away! Pleas...

Early Access Upload #3 for Digital Tier

Hey, Digital Femboys!

Leading up to our upcoming restoration of the Mario anime movie, we have a little treat to show you.

This is our first ever restoration test we did after receiving the raw 16mm scan from our pal Carnivol. It was a total WIP and not perfect, but we thought it might be interesting for you guys to see it. More information in the video description.

This will go public this weekend, but you guys are the first to see it!

Scan for the Month of April!

Hey, everyone! Sorry for being a day late with this, but the Mario hype was too real haha.

The poll results have spoken, you guys wanted something western animated!

Well, how about this? A 35mm trailer for the 1991 animated feature An American Tail: Fievel Goes West? This one is a bit of an older scan and done on our previous machine, but it still looks mighty rootin' tootin'! The print was pre-matted but includes some scenes from the previous installment of the franchise...

I'm Gonna Let the Digital Femboys In on Something...

So, before we get into the April scan and all that, I have an important announcement.

We are cancelling the Super Mario Bros. restoration...

JUST KIDDING, APRIL FOOLS! But, you guys aren't going to get the huge announcement Twitter will!

Linking to the tweet will be a video "explaining why we decided to cancel the restoration", but what the video actually is... is a trailer for the restoration to come! And Digital Femboys and up get to see it early before Twitter and the res...

April Femchad Tier Reward Poll

Hey guys!

Now then, let's get the votes going for the next scan of the month!

Again, only $15 Femchad tier actually gets the scan, but anyone is welcome to participate in the poll. This time, since anime OP/ED obviously keeps winning, I thought I'd make it a little more interesting.

Let the voting begin!

New Upload on Archive!

Hey guys!

Here are some screenshots from Doraemon Traffic Safety, which we teased the other day. It's up here: https://archive.org/details/doraemon-traffic-safety-16mm

Also, just kidding, we were actually able to restore it to an impressive degree! It's certainly not perfect and there's still a significant amount of dirt and scratches and it certainly isn't perfect, but it is a much be...

March Updates

Hey everyone!

So very sorry for the lack of updates this month... We have all been very busy with our jobs and lives, and I personally am currently dealing with a foot injury on top of it, but... rest assured we have not forgotten you all and have a few things in store!

Firstly, you may have seen a Tweet from us earlier this week teasing something th...

Here's the Scan of the Month for March!

The people have spoken, and they wanted an anime OP or ED... but what if we gave you BOTH?

This has been featured as a restoration test on our YouTube channel before (albeit encoded and cropped), but to be honest with you guys, this proved to be far too difficult to restore properly due to its age, amount of dirt, and the horrible scratches.

So, if any of you want to take a crack at it maybe, here is the raw scan of the opening and ending of the American version of Astro Boy, scan...

March Reward for Femchads

Hey everyone!

It's that time of the month again, only a bit to go before the next one!

So, it's time to ask ya'll what you would be interested in for next month's downloadable bonus scan!

Keep in mind that while this only applies to the Femchad tier and lower tiers do not get access to the scan, you are all welcome to participate in the poll!

I have an inkling as to what might get chosen, but here we go! Cast your votes!

Discord Emotes, Line Art Complete!

Work is proceeding on the emotes for our server. These are the final six we decided to go with, and our artist has completed the line art! Getting closer!

Adventure Boy Shadar Update!

Hey, Femboys!

We've been working long and hard to color correct the first episode of Adventure Boy Shadar from our 16mm print and are preparing to upload it to our YouTube channel soon! According to nappasan, who was the colorist on this, it was super difficult to work with due to its intense fading, but we think we have gotten it to the best condition it can get.

We currently have no plans to subtitle this as we have been focusing more on The Best Ten, but maybe in the future it ...

Poll for February Reward (Femchad Tier)

This poll is open for all Femboys and up, but will only affect those in the Femchad tier as it is related to the monthly scan.

Hello, everyone! The end of the month is approaching and we'd like to hear from you what you want the next monthly film scan will be for you! Please choose from the poll below between these two choices.

Thank you all!

We're not going with all of them, but six out of the 13 of these will be chosen for final designs, so we'll update you on which are chosen and finalized first before anyone else!

Best Ten Update!

I know things have been a little quiet lately, but rest assured we've been working on this!

So far we've completed all the advertisements and are in the process of timing lines.

We'll continue to update as we move forward with this project so please be on the lookout and thanks so much for your patience!

What's the Story with this Lupin the Third Super 8?

As you might have seen on Twitter thanks to our buddy Tanks (https://twitter.com/tanks404/status/1481086174764621828?s=20), we were able to scan a very cool little novelty in the form of a Super 8mm print of Lupin the Third's first cinematic outing, Mystery of Mamo.

This print runs about 8 minutes featuring various scenes from the movie, and was sold to Japanese consumers for their hom...

Shadar Color Correction VS Raw Frame

Hey, Femboys!

Did you see the Tweet we made about Adventure Boy Shadar? https://twitter.com/FemboyFilms/status/1478838331681116160?s=20

We found and scanned a 16mm print of the very first episode, something that has become lost media over time.

The tweet had the corrected frame, but just for Patrons, here's the raw one. See how faded it is? Luckily we're able to bring the ...

"'80 ANIMATION - THE BEST TEN" RAW VS RESTORATION!

January Rewards and a Couple of Rambles

Hey, Patrons!

Thanks again for becoming our Patrons on this platform. It really means a lot to us!

Here's a little bit of what you can expect as a Patron this month.

For the Femboys, normal update posts including exclusive scan images and whatnot will continue as normal.

For Digital Femboys, we are going to start uploading some more video content like raw vs restorations of some of the things we're working on so look out for that! Sorry if there's not a ton of content ...

Thank You for a Wonderful 2021

A lot has happened this year. In the world, certainly, but especially in the realm of anime restoration and specifically for us, we've found so many cool things that we never thought imaginable.

Initially we were sceptical opening up a public Discord and Patreon due to the fact that we operate very much in secrecy and only announce what we have when we're absolutely ready to, but the move to go a little more open to our fans and the public sphere hasn't been too bad so far, and we've al...

Working on a little something for New Years... 😳

Let's just say, no one has ever seen this after it first screened in the year 1980!
