Waifu2x-Extension-GUI VS Real-ESRGAN

The software in question is on Github called Waifu2x-Extension-GUI https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

Waifu2x GUI

I used a program called Waifu2x-Extension-GUI. It’s fantastic for upscaling animation shows (and yes it supports video upscales too)! There are web-app versions out there with the same name, but the results I get from those are nowhere near as good. If anyone’s unable to download or figure it out, I’d be happy to upscale any images you want!

I heard topaz may be the best but you can try bsrt, video2x and waifu2x ext gui.

I do my upscaling with Waifu2x, specifically with this really well made GUI https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

4090 is very fast in this regard. It takes about 6 hours or so for a film that is 1.5 hours. The software is called Waifu2x Extension GUI by Aaron Feng. It's free to use, but you'll get a pop-up asking to donate. It gets constant updates, which is always a major plus. Here's the GitHub: https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI I used the RealCugan AI Model since I found it yields the best results in terms of speed and quality. You can use RealESRGAN for Live works, but it will take significantly longer. Sidenote: You can use it on blurry pictures as well (Since videos are simply a series of frames/still images)

It's not exactly what you're after, as it's anime specific and you need to process the video yourself (eg disassemble to frames, run the upscaler, then assemble back to a movie file), but Real-ESRGAN is really good:

It's pretty brilliant for cleaning up very old, low resolution anime.

Just a note you can run upscaling on your home desktop with Real-ESRGAN:

Maybe Real-ESRGAN is a good fit? Even tho it's a couple of years old

I'm glad you noticed! I upscaled the icon from the wiki using Real-ESRGAN's 4xplus anime model, then photoshopped out the text. Worked far better than waifu2x.

A: Try using High-res Fix and R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B as upscaler

Maybe try this one https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN it may work even better.

Screenshotted from the official music video, upscaled to 4k using a state of the art ML model.

Do you happen to remember which chapter has that "scene"? You could also try to enhance it yourself, I did it using Real-ESRGAN, which is really easy to use.
