chaiNNer VS Real-ESRGAN

It is like Comfy UI Jr. but much easier to navigate. Huge amount of useful features, and you can connect it to the WebUI. I highly recommend checking it out: https://github.com/chaiNNer-org/chaiNNer

For the video it turned out a bit too "hairy" compared to many of the still images (I believe because of the long landscape aspect ratio), but I ran out of time to fiddle. I used the Seed Travel extension for the animation and ChaiNNer with the 4x-Valar upscaler.

While at it, check out ChaiNNer -> https://github.com/chaiNNer-org/chaiNNer

If you want to do more, there's chaiNNer and CupScale. You need to download an AI model to use those. There are a lot of anime/cartoon models out, so pick one that you like from here. (Note: Upscaly doesn't support these custom models.)

For local there's cupscale and chainner

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.
