Hi everyone, I upscale anime on my free time and I thought I’d share them since they take a LONG, LONG time to upscale even with my beefy computer.

I recently finished upscaling Monster (2004) Here are a few snapshots from it

It is infinitely better than the original image, it’s just mind-blowing, and yet I just upscaled x2, I could have upscaled x4, but that takes way too much time. And I think 1280*960 is a good balance of file size, quality and render time. Especially if you go one step ahead and use Real-time upscaling for Anime.

Here’s the magnet link for it, I would be happy to share any detail beforehand! :
