This model is far from perfect, but it does a decent job on removing dot crawl and dehalo\deblock old anime at fast rate without removing many details. chaining it with models like 2x-anifilm-compact or 2xLD-ANIME or 2x_AnimeClassics_UltraLite_510K will give good results i think.

Epsilon-one compact

Upscale 90s and early 2000 American cartoons

90s Cartoon v1

This is my first 2xcompact model, the main purpose of it is to upscale Dragon ball GT. for upscaling videos that have grain I would recommend denoising and dehaloing it before passing it to the model for temporal stability.

GT-evA

This is the v2 of my 2xGT model, the main purpose of it is to improve upon the v1 model and make more it generalized.
for upscaling videos that have grain I would recommend denoising and de-haloing it before passing it through  the model.

GT-v2-evA

2x span nf48 model trained with 2x_Garfield dataset.
the output of this model is in no way near the 2x_Garfield, but it can do everything that the esrgan model does to some degree and have the speed advantage. 
finally, I would like to thank @SaurusX for providing me with his dataset.

GarfieldJr_span

this a compact model I trained to upscale the SD Blu-ray release of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and other early 2000 shows like Yu Gi Ho GX, it can do line darkening and some restoration.

Unfortunately I lost everything related to it from the dataset and training settings

Higurashi_v1_compact

I recommend filtering the source before passing it to the model. 

Note: if the original trainers of the models i used as teachers for this model are not cool with using them in this way, i will remove this model
