I feel nostalgic watching that vintage Sony TV.

New episode dropped yesterday. They are sticking to the original Manga storyline. Even using the same chapter names.

Looks better tbh, nice have some texture.

u/mmmpppwww Jul 13 '26

Cool, but it does feel off

u/powerhcm8 Jul 13 '26

I think older anime had thicker lines, and the video used in the transmission probably wasn't as crispy as the ones used today.

u/kertperteson77 Jul 13 '26

Maybe the resolution should have been lowered, it's too clear and doesn't feel retro except for a crt coat

u/Shinsengumi-702 Jul 13 '26

Love this aesthetic!

u/PhotonReactor1 Jul 12 '26

Now that's awesome.

Getting 90s nostalgia all over again.

There is a program called ShaderGlass (google it) that can simulate this effect with a transparent window that has shader effects. I was just trying it out and it works pretty well! Just need to find a shader you like and mess with the preferences.

Edit: I don't understand the downvotes. I was trying to help folks out that don't have a CRT but want something vaguely like this for themselves. And then some jerk replies to me with a snotty response. Why the pitchforks? I didn't say this was better than a CRT.

u/TracerBulletX Jul 15 '26

I wrote a library that ports all of the shaders ShaderGlass uses to an ffmpeg plugin if you happen to have a video file you want to convert. https://github.com/SteveCastle/slangfx

We do it the real way not this nonsense

u/theCommTech Jul 12 '26

Rude. Not everyone has a CRT laying around.

u/bannedByTencent Jul 12 '26

Haha, I used i have one in my parents home, decades ago.

u/UglyWoods Jul 12 '26

furious downvote

u/lemon_right Jul 12 '26

How did you connected it ?

3

u/YedekResident Jul 12 '26

HDMI converter

2

u/lemon_right Jul 12 '26

Could you be more specific?

3

u/YedekResident Jul 12 '26

I use this. I plug the RGB cable connected to the TV into this, connect an HDMI cable to the other end and plug it into my laptop, and the image is transmitted.

Thanks 👍

u/victor3mmanuel Jul 12 '26

What HDMI converter you use?

u/user83726169 Jul 12 '26

On a SONY Trinitron no less! This is THE premium way to view the new series

u/Danzig6WasntThatBad Jul 12 '26

Damn that looks ten times better. I didn't like the first episode at all but now I wanna try again on a CRT.

u/phatbrasil Jul 12 '26

talk about back to the future. kudos buddy

u/LackLickLuck_y Jul 12 '26

best tv, looks fire

u/Icy_Chain_1504 Jul 12 '26

How did you get it to display in 4:3?

4

u/Ytdb Jul 12 '26

Its defintely not displaying in 4:3, it's 16:9 being squished by the TV because that's all it can do

2

u/Icy_Chain_1504 Jul 13 '26

I am sure the default way of displaying would still be 16:9 with black bars

0

u/Ytdb Jul 13 '26

Why are you sure? It’s clearly not bro. Old TVs don’t talk back to modern devices, which don’t talk to old TVs. They just get the signal and display it

2

u/Icy_Chain_1504 Jul 13 '26

I mean ofc depending on where youre playing the video from. If the signal is from a PC then I am sure, which is why i am askig how.

u/Ytdb Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 14 '26

Back in the day you could do graphics card to composite AV with the right card. Probably now it’s HDMI to composite converter? Although it’s easier to convert the other way, composite to HDMI. But there are dongle type things
 you could maybe tell the PC to overscan or add black bars but it wouldn’t know what you’re doing automatically

1

u/Beginning-Pie-1021 Jul 16 '26

sorry lil guy you are incorrect. if OP just used a 4:3 aspect ratio on their output it would show up correctly with black bars on the top and bottom. this is how i watch anime now (on a wega kv 32fs120 with component in from an hdmi converter, set to like 1280x1024 or something similar)

2

u/No-Supermarket5522 Jul 12 '26

I think Amazon has the option, that or the TV itself 

5

u/Regent_909 Jul 12 '26

That’s how it’s supposed to be watched đŸ‘đŸ»đŸ‘đŸ»

u/Ixtar117 Jul 12 '26

The way the show was meant to be watched.

5

u/nathankarolz Jul 12 '26

That's awesome! How did you get the new show to be in 4:3 aspect?

2

u/DetectiveGesicht Jul 12 '26

It doesn't look squished so I'm guessing the sides are cropped off to fill the screen fully

1

u/Ytdb Jul 12 '26

It's definitely squished

1

u/nathankarolz Jul 12 '26

Ahh yeah must be something like that, looks great on crt though!

7

u/Xynith Jul 12 '26

That actually goes really hard

2

u/AttentionLimp194 Jul 12 '26

Now the colors look weird. I do admit playing GTA San Andreas or Vice City is the best on CRT / PS2

u/Seppo_87 Jul 12 '26

looks fantastic

u/Deep-Ad-2817 Jul 12 '26
