you are correct about being unable to use the replace frames option; it ends up looking terrible.
what i find most confusing about this is that if i take the original file ^ and open with gimp, export it straight away without editing, using the "i dont care" option for how the frames are handled, the result turns out just fine. perhaps something i did during my editing process caused it to become broken?
Looks like you did a good job of removing the background from the original gif but you did not un-optimise it first. You do need the original background for that.
Once it is un-optimised, and mode set to RGB you can bulk remove the background with a script. c2a-all-layers.scm (applies color-to-alpha to visible layers)
The background is not black. It has a touch of blue in it. Makes the edited layers very transparent. You can add that back in, reasonably successfully, with another script sg-combine-bg.scm
My attempt, as a video. 7 minutes - a long one for me. There will be other ways / other scripts and plugins.

Where to get the scripts
c2a-all-layers.scm is in the zip here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-How-to...09#pid2609
Get sg-combine-bg.scm from http://chiselapp.com/user/saulgoode/repo...combine-bg
