The Valentine's Day Special was no walk in the park either, as we all know the best source for it is still a very old TVRip. (STAN copy is inferior to iTunes and cropped for 99% of the movie, however strangely it presents the first two scenes in an expanded open matte picture, but crops elsewhere, so we joined the two sources for maximum picture).
We also restored the first scenes in their more complete aspect ratio using the STAN WEB-DL.
Upscaling the movie from the 360p to 2160p was no easy task and it involved 2 passes with two models which took nearly a month of 24/7 processing, but the result was very much worth it. Season 1 | Season 2 | Season 3 | Season 4 | Season 5 | Season 6 | Specials Our philosophy is that people can always encode at lower resolution/sizes if they want, but as far as we are concerned, we want to offer you only the absolute best. No size compromises, 1x11m episode measures at about 7GB, this is 4K HEVC Blu-Ray bitrate. Contrary to what some might say, we have proof of this. models made specifically for this type of restoration, extremely aimed at preserving all textures, linework and detailĬustom CC (Color Correction) (scene by scene sometimes when necessary) aimed mostly at restoring the intended colors of the artists/creators from cel scans but also based on the digital coloring of later seasons and with the aim to "modernize" and bring the aesthetic up to par to the digitally inked seasons.Įach episode is checked for faulty frames as a result of faulty interlacing and replaced manually whenever possible, we avoid the use of filters such as QTGMC and Daa() in order to not deteriorate the quality of the source before upscaling at all.Ģ160p output with correctly deinterlaced video when the source is the DVD, that means 29.97 FPS, as exporting in 23.976 will cause loss of unique frames and fluidity. Used only the best sources publicly available compared episode by episode for maximum output qualityĬustom A. This is not just your rushed average upscale, in fact these are the pillars on which it stands on that I challenge any other previous or future project of sorts to beat and respect: models (and many, MANY failed ones) me and u/CG_1989 have recently embarked in finally getting this upscale going. Here's something I have been working on trying to achieve for literally years, trying to get to the level of quality that this show deserves and that I always envisioned.Īnd finally now I believe the tools at our disposal have finally reached a level of gain that is worthy to present this show in the best possible way.Īfter gathering the best source publicly possible for each single episode (A mix of AMZN/HMAX/DVDs) and training several custom A.
