The earliest digital anime were pretty rough, and they had a host of problems including:
>weak colors
>lack of contrast
>often a grey haze over everything.

I consider it a bit of a digital dark ages for anime and it took them years to fix these underlying issues.

Here is a fan edit attempt at correcting this. Stronger colors, contrast, and a CRT effect (film grain replacement).

Could fans produce entire fan edits of series to fix these issues?

I tried color correcting some clips from the Umineko anime a while back. It has the same washed out look as most shows from that time but this one was especially bad.

Doing this for a whole series wouldn't be that hard, just tedious if you want to do it right (i.e. color correcting each scene individually.)
