This takes me back. Every commercial break where the display the Reboot badge, me and my sister would race towards the tv screen to touch it and scream ‘REBOOT!’ like they do to transform on the show.
I remember the final (third?) season of this show getting fucking deep and kind of dark in terms of the entire show’s arc. Blew my little child brain lol…
That’s the one! Although I don’t think they used S-Video so perhaps that’s better. But like you say, the software was to blame with no change of bitrate etc
Honest question here, how does the DD help with VHS tapes? I was under the impression that it samples analog data directly from the read head of a Laserdisc player. Can it be adapted to sample from a magnetic read head for VHS tapes as well?
Looks like it’s on archive.org. I thought I recall it being put up on YouTube by the encore+ project which was digitising a bunch of old Canadian television, distinctly remember Are You Afraid of the Dark? being there as well. But apparently that ended in 2022 and the content was removed…
This show feels like a fever dream. I remember being the only person that knew of it at the time in my area. I remember watching it on toonami after school, and I remember it escalating quickly at one point. I’m pretty sure the show doesn’t actually end though. It got cancelled or something before the ending so it more or less just stops abruptly.
Yeah and I remember there being a very heavy tone shift from fun and light-hearted to dark and serious. Also, the kid is all of a sudden an adult or something too?
It kind of ends on a cliffhanger with Megabyte literally saying “Now the hunt can truly begin!” and then that’s the end of the series, but there are a couple of decent endpoints of the show before that, and if you like you can just imagine the last few episodes as some weird fanfic that Enzo wrote.
