Using the Kineko 4K scan the hope was to clean up the Funi DVD releases and upscale to something comparable. This model degrains the series pretty damn well, but what's revealed beneath is a lot of moving noise that's probably best dealt with in pre- or post- with a video editor like AVISynth. So while the model is remarkably temporally stable, the DBZ sources certainly aren't. The movies look really nice when upscaled with raw input, though.

2x_DBZScanLite

Made to restore screentones and remove compression artifacts in manga images with widths between 650 and 900 pixels (can be more than 900).

2x Manga Ora

Purpose: Compression Removal, Noise Reduction, Line Correction, MPEG2 / LD Artifact Removal

This is my first model release. The model was inspired from a personal project which I have been pursuing for some time now, which this model aims to solve. This model will upscale low resolution hand drawn animation from 1970s to 2000. The colors are retained with effective noise control. Details and Textures are maintained to a good degree considering animations. Color Spills are also corrected depending on the colors. Shades of white and yellows have been difficult. It also makes the lines slightly sharper and thinner. This could be a plus depending on your source. The model is also temporally stable across my tests with little observable issues.

2x Pooh V4

In addition to removing the vertical blur, the model upscales, sharpens and will remove MPEG-2 artifacting and a small amount of rainbowing and dot crawl. Another series afflicted with the vertical blur is Avatar the Last Airbender, which can be repaired by this model. The video fed into the model MUST be 540 vertical for the deblur to work properly.

After not being entirely happy with the main Spongebob v6 model, I trained a new one with blurring OTF options and two different downscale types. This one is much better in my opinion.
