u/T-SquaredProductions

I remember seeing it on a streaming chat site a long time ago, around 2009, but the anime itself was made or released around 2003/2004.

It was badly voiced, had stilted and often no animation, and began with a really cheap and gaudy film intro (with hot pink Bauhaus-style text and soft-focus sparks in the background) that looked more out of the 1970s or 1980s. I remember it wasn't actually made in Japan, but rather Indonesia or thereabouts. I wanted to say it was made by a person whose name was similar to "Joseph Lai" (producer of Space Thunder Kids, equally as crappy), but I can't remember the name of the producer. The title was something like "Lover & Slave", but again, I can't remember exactly.

You probably have seen my idea to recreate the displays using off-the-shelf components: https://www.reddit.com/r/FPGA/comments/1ruupye/looking_for_a_cpld_programmer_attempting_to/

I've decided to scale it back to simply trying to recreate the logic gate system that it uses. I did some studying about how the logic within shift registers and latches work, and I think I understand. Furthermore, I seem to have made a small amount of progress in understanding what actually goes into the display.

Based on all available information, my best guess is that there are two shift register and latch elements per pixel, to hold the pixel data bits, as there are two data lines per pixel.

If I have my understanding correct, the shift registers and latches use the above configuration, but with an additional line somewhere for the Chip Select signal. An optional help would also be to figure out where the power for the logic would go.

I've already reached out to people on the Vintage Computer Federation Forums, but I only got a small response to my message.
