@LukeAlmighty I understand, but they aren't smooth. You can see obvious temporal instability. Subtle shading is also often lost (although not here, the animation is just flat).
I can block out compression artifacts just by filling the missing information in in my head, but because there's no information missing in the AI upscale it's just hard to ignore.
@matrix For terrible SD releases without a higher quality release available, faithful de-noising upscalers improve the quality of playback on a LCD.
@Suiseiseki Rarely works well and a good RIP of a nonshitty DVD already looks good enough for anime
@matrix@gameliberty.club new episode is out?
@dead_man dvd has been out for a while, but it only just got put on nyaa and i can only find this upscale
@matrix
NO!!!!
Smooth lines are superior to compression artifacts and pixelation.
