All the data is here: -->en.tezuka.co.jp/anime/sakuhin/ts/ts002.html<--

But, as the site is extinct, you need to take that web address to the Wayback machine, which relults in this:

http://web.archive.org/web/20070930011202/en.tezuka.co.jp/anime/sakuhin/ts/ts002.html

Click the "Subtitle" button for the episode guide; however, the archive is not finding it lately.

What about getting the 7 episodes to proceed manual checkings ?
(not encouraging d/l at all, but with a non released series season in America nor Europe, that'll be hard without using this way...).

I'm looking for this exact scene to control episode source from the animation and its background matching.

I have never taken the time to learn how to use the Studio 8 program that came with my video card; & I really have no interest in doing so in the future. I am just not going to even start to make AVI files, as I fear I would be bombarded with requests for episodes from the various Region 2 DVD sets that I have. I take liberty with the still frames that I post, & do not want to risk incurring the wrath of the copyright holders by uploading videos.

Neither am I, so, where can I buy those DVDs ? (season 4, am I right).
Japan source I suppose ? Ouch... Area 3 while I'm in Area 2, Ouch again...

As I'm writing a thesis about raw animation art, setting up a anime database to identify them in the production process is a part of my study.
So if you may accept to run the program that I use to turn an anime to identification sheet, that could be great and certainly helpful for your own works.
Scale index resolution is 1 second for anime episodes, 2 seconds for OVA, 5 seconds for movies.

Japan is region/area 2. The entire series was & maybe still is available from CD Japan in 2 boxed sets.

There may be other online vendors, but I use CD Japan.

I clicked the link you provided, & do not know what the image is; that is, how to interpret the various parts.

This is a thumbnail database generator, instead of watching a whole episode, the system creates files that compile a list of thumbnail.
By using this on an average 26 episode TV series you can identify a picture in just 20 minutes instead of 8 hours of watching.

I'll connect japan for the box set, thanks, though that japan was area 3 like china and taiwan
