On august 28th, 2023 a user on tumblr called @meion found a native HD version of the 2003 classic Tetsuwan Atom from the japanese streaming site called U-NEXT.
And so I found a subtitled version of this via archive.org, I decided to add chapters to all the episodes for qol :)
This version on U-NEXT doesn't include the openings or endings, those were spliced in from the DVD release for your pleasure (720x480)
Every episode is in native **1920x1080** except for the endings and openings sadly, hopefully we'll get a proper 1080p version of those soon.
I'm going to upload the RAWs hopefully during the weekend, I just need to atleast complete 1 download. If there's any mistakes or errors, please comment them. If you want the RAWs rn, message me on discord (Alelander) and I can give you a mega link with the RAWs.

special thanks to AV1 weeb edition server for all the help, i couldnt have figured out this without their help, thanks yall <3
I hope the subs are better than most of what is floating around but I won't be surprised if they aren't. Thanks for the high quality video at the very least.
Was this show made on film? It kinda looks like it based on the screenshots. No doubt there's more to the image plus the clarity but a decent amount of detail is smeared away which must be from bad encoding/filtering or if it's some AI trickery. Colors look the same too so maybe they originally scanned it in HD being sourced from the same transfer from back then. If it is an actual HD film scan that'd be epic if they released a non effed-up Blu-ray.
@DamianV8501 It's definitely not AI upscaled i'll tell you that much. It was most likely made with 720-1080p in mind but then they only had a DVD release
