I'll give NTSC this much: the image is warmer, more analog. It has a pleasing sfumato softness to it.

we had a tv with a scart port when I was a kid in the us. pretty sure nobody in my family knew what it was for

and japan being japan had to take scart and gently caress it up just enough to be annoying by switching around some of the pin assignments for no reason whatsoever and calling it jp21

see also: ntsc-j, which uses a luminance range of 0-235 vs 7-235, a white reference of 9300k vs 6500k, and slightly different color encoding vs the ntsc-m standard used everywhere else

its probably because japan was literally the only non-western country that was already industrialized and developed when all this stuff was being invented, op
