Interesting bit since I always figured waifu2x was the best at upscaling:
>Interesting enough, waifu2x performed very poorly on anime. A plausible explaination is that the network was simply not trained to upscale these types of images. Usually anime style art have sharper lines and contain much more small details/textures compared to anime. The distribution of images used to train waifu2x must have been mostly art images from sites like DevianArt/Danbooru/Pixiv, and not anime.
- k_sze 7y agoWhich is a bit ironic because I always thought that the name 'waifu2x' came from anime/otaku culture, yet it sucks when applied to anime. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- esyir 7y agoIt handles other weeb art just fine, but anime typically has very different characteristics from the heavier detail that you can often find in manga.
- Liquid_Fire 7y agoIt performs well on anime-style (static) drawings, as opposed to animation.
