To steal quote from Nanto from Skaro what makes this episode particularly special:
“When we started this project, we had a complete set of Lensman episodes, but in variable degrees of quality. As we’ve slowly moved through the series we’ve had great luck in upgrading the episodes with LaserDisc rips from Alrow, Betamax rips from Dougo13, and VHS rips from Laurine. Episode 23 was one of the problem episodes, spliced together from two different sources, in fact it had a spot of about 43 seconds where there was no video at all.” (starseeker note: not kidding, it was blue screen with just audio)
“That has changed now, with episode 23 now the highest quality of any of our Lensman releases. Massive thanks are due to Kineko Video, a professional fan-based community specializing in anime film scanning & video transfers, for finding and transferring the 16mm print of this episode. So not only does this one look even better than the LaserDisc episodes, we’re able to offer it in HD resolutions as well.”
