WHAAAAAAT?! Hayato, my old comrade in arms, what brings you here? You want to tell me how much you ENJOY FUCKING FRAW BOW?! And you want me to TEST THE NEW BETA GUNDAM?! I won't even get to fly it, instead my OXYGEN-DEFICIENT FATHER will create a special device that will increase its performance BASED ON HOW MANY TIMES I PASSIVELY WATCH YOU RAIL FRAW?! You will install hundreds of screen in my house that I WILL NEVER LEAVE that will show nothing but YOUR MEGA-BEAM CANNON destroying Fraw's DELICATE HULL MILLIONS OF TIMES ON REPEAT?! You and her will repopulate entire colonies and your children will grow DESPISING me for turning from a WAR HERO INTO A PATHETIC KEK to the point the entire human race will call me the FIRST EVER KEKTYPE?! What's that? CHAR AZNABLE WILL COME HERE TO LAUGH AT ME?! He will also describe in EXCRUCIATING DETAIL hundreds of his sexual experiences with Lalah before I VAPORIZED HER and we will communicate with her psyche scattered throughout the cosmos so she can tell me HOW DISGUSTED SHE IS BY ME?! All while footage of YOU UNLEASHING YOUR WILDEST SEXUAL FANTASIES upon Fraw's TENDER BODY plays in the background and I can't avoid looking at it?! What can I say? LET'S DO THIS HAYATO! AMURO! IKIMASU!

>>22566190
That's my fucking hero right there

>>22566190
Is this scene why Zeta was so divisive?

These screeds are why I still read 4chan. Thanks for the KEKs
>CùCKTYPE

>>22566282
Anime adaptation of this when?

How do you think Fraw reacted when she found out Hayato and Katz died?

>>22566706
Cursed Amuro and his craving for war.
Then rejoiced in 0093

>falls down stairs
>never seen again
did he died?

>>22566706
She correctly blamed the cucktype obviously

>>22566282
>Meanwhile, in [Yas's headcanon]

>>22566482
>>22567233
Doesnt need to be canon, Fraw kept thirsting for amuro in Zeta

>>22566775
I mean there already was a character that slipped and died in a retarded fashion so I can see it happening with Amuro's dad

>>22566190
You put a lot of effort into a joke that's not funny

>>22566775
In The Origin he died after that fall. I know, I know, not canon but still.

>>22567566
Nah, I don't know how much effort he put in but it's funny.
Not his fault Amuro was on house arrest for SEVEN (7) years.

>>22566190
Amuro wouldn't talk that much.

>>22566190
Hayato wrote this before going to dublin knowing Fraw was gunna keep watering over amuro after the colony drop

>>22566190
Canonically the military keep sending women to Amuro's home once or twice a week so he got around more than your average fuckboi these days during his Zeta era.

>>22566190
how the fuck is this thread still up?

Canonically, Hayato was a shit husband and a shit father. He drowned himself in working for Karaba, he did nothing to prevent Katz from becoming a pilot, instead of crushing that nonsense he let the hero worship fester. He purposefully sacrificed his life in ZZ out of shame for his being a shit father/husband. He forever chased after the shadow and tried to "Outdo" someone who never once saw him as a rival nor did he ever see it as a competition. People say Yaz made Hayato pathetic in that one shot. No, Hayato was pathetic and Yaz showed a variant of that pathetic nature.

>>22571689
>>22571973
Mods are purposely allowing the site to go to shit.

>>22571684
How many bastard Newtype children are living with single mothers on Earth right now thanks to Amuro pumping and dumping random prostitutes on the military dime? Give me a rough estimate.

>>22572033
Banagher and every UC protagonist onwards who were newtypes are actually amuros kids (probably)

>>22572033
An even dozen. It was The Federation's answer to the Puru program, but instead of cloning Amruo they would create a super Newtype army via him knocking up random sex workers over the course of seven years.

Most of them were Indian women btw.

>>22571689
This is the best thread on /m/ tho

>>22572129
Char knew this Newtype breeding program was happening, and thus attempted to drop Axis onto the earth before his own sister would fall victim to the Federations nefarious plans to get Amuro some puss. Casval Rem Diekun is a hero.

>>22572220
You have my gratitude, Liutenant Coomer.
Are there any for the sequel series?

>>22572889
I don't think so. He did a longer 0079 one but I think that was it.

>>22572270
>before
Boy, I got news for you.

>>22566190
I love it when Emma Sheen gets double penetrated in AEUG orgy.

>>22566190
How the fuck is this /dbs/ shitpost thread still up?

>>22571689
it's about a mecha anime isn't it.

>>22567571
Tomino really had it in for Katz.

>>22573847
I dislike him for the filler scenes and screeching as a child in 0079, but in Zeta he saves Kamille's skin at least 3 times, while once they fight in space he needs to rescued only once.

This makes me laugh every fucking time. Like he has to get on his knees and BEG Amuro not to be cucked.

Who is Sayla cucking Amuro with in the anime storyline?<br>There's plenty of horny medical students at the very least

Really our KEKTYPE was lusting for pic related all along

>>22575425
Why does Yas hate him so much?

>>22574392
He was way worse in Zeta. Not only did he allow Sarah to escape, but he sortied multiple times without permission and generally had to be babysat more than during 0079 ironically enough

>>22575907
>>22577788
Full house digits btw

Every timeline in which Amuro gets with a woman, he gets a bad ending:
>gets it on with Sayla in the novel
DEAD at A Baoa Qu
>goldigger Beltorchicka locks him down with a baby (BC novel)
DEAD at Axis
>Amuro survives Beltorchicka and gets with his mechanic Chan
DEAD at Axis

Hence he should've really gotten together with Char

>>22583909
There's no guarantee our cucktype friend would've lived a longer life as Char's wife (male).
He might have taken a hit for him akin to Lalah.

>>22566595
To be announced for the 50th anniversary celebration!

>>22572129
>Most of them were Indian women btw.
>>22572129
Amuro...is not char

Why aren't we talking about Char, The Man Who Was Cucked To Death™?

>>22587235
Nobody cucked him but himself. Quattro should've just announced he was gay to the whole crew and started feeling up Kamille.

>>22587243
And then Haman would have killed herself and that would have taken care of Neo Zeon.

What a dumb piece of shit.

Doesn't Fraw IMMEDIATELY wish she'd fucked Amuro instead of Hayato when she's trying to convince him to join the AEUG in Zeta?

Also, I can't really blame Amuro for not wanting anyone after Lalah. They were pretty much mind-melded in Beyond The Time and then he felt her die. Kinda harshes you boner.

>>22587948
Not really. She actually teases him about not being married or together with Sayla.
At least Hayato shows some degree of maturity, being a father and providing for his family.

>>22566282
damn. That's fucking brutal. Wouldn't even mind if this became canon. Really makes amuro even more of some unfortunate isolated PTSD savant.

>>22567571
The fact it just bounces off rather than exploding just makes it seem even more pathetic.

>>22588866
He doesn't even go out in a blaze of glory like a man. He's such a lame kid.

>Hayato dies off screen
Can't even give a decent send off to an OG White Base crew member? Fuck you ZZ.

>>22587243
>>22587246
That way he would have saved Kamille, himself, and put UC on the good timeline

>>22589104
I don't think a single OG crew member was treated decently in ZZ

>>22589104
It wasn't you see his Dodai Kai explode onscreen

I've seen MSG and Z Gundam, I didn't pick up any signs Fraw was still into Amuro and just using Hayato.

>>22572033
Even the Federation is smart enough to equip its women with a ballute system. By UC100 they all had a beam diaphragm.

Did you know that according to CDA Char Aznable just loves to raw dog? Pic completely unrelated. This is not the person he came inside uncontrollably.

>>22594088
The fact that Char did not bang this clears him of all the lolicon allegations imo

>>22572270
Char was mad that Amuro didn't marry his sister so he dropped Axis on Earth

>>22594777
Char is one of those people who would like Sayla's kids with Amuro more than his own children.

>>22594784
that's extremely sensible, his sister is better than him in every way and is there anybody he could possibly fuck who's cooler than Amuro

>>22566775
>>22567588

I kinda like the idea that Amuro just puts him in a fancy Mental Health Center and he visits him every few months and his dad keeps giving him more random crap to ad to the Gundam. Like he's gotten a 'little' better but he's fuckin obsessed with the Gundam still.

>>22594784
Char is one of those people that would put a car seat in a gold Lamborghini.

>>22594841
>Char is one of those people that would put a car seat
>in a car
As opposed to what?

>>22594841
Some car maker should sell a Hyaku Shining custom version of their muscle car.
Not actual gold coated though, otherwise only sheiks and CCP assholes could afford it

>>22597518
just do a titanium nitride coating on a cybertruck

>>22587243
>>22591932
Kamille wouldn't, because he didn't respect Char because Char didn't respect himself.
And Char didn't press on because he knew Kamille was better than him.
Judau is meant for (fully rehabilitated) Kamille

>>22594088
>>22594166
I've never read CDA, what even happens between him and Haman?

>>22594836
Crap? No anon theyre highly advanced upgrades that could be used in the destroyed gundam

>>22598833
CDA takes place at Axis asteroid and covers 0080 to 0087. Most of Axis follows two main factions/beliefs. Char and friends just want to live normally for now and maybe find a way to coexist with the Feds in the long term. The second group consists of all of the bad guys, they want to restart the war with the Feds.

Anyway, Char's group kinda suspects that the bad guys are up to no good, but they never make it a priority to investigate. It's goddamned infuriating. They just assign 3 people to look into it, and then Char and friends sorta just go with the flow and have random adventures and soap opera level drama for like 13 volumes of manga. Unsurprisingly the investigation fails and the warmongers' schemes are successful, they take political control of Axis and somehow manipulate Haman into unknowingly taking their side.

This entire time, Haman has a schoolgirl crush on Char, but never does anything from her end about it other than staring from afar. In the end, Haman becomes heartbroken after finding out that Char was in a relationship with a woman who was mutual friend of theirs, someone that Haman looked up to as an older sister figure... that woman as it turns out is also pregnant with Char's baby and previously was also blackmailed into working for the warmongers and was part of a scheme where the warmonger faction tried to seduce/rape Haman into joining their side. Said woman gets murdered shortly after the truth comes out. Haman becomes cold and distant, while Char is internally heartbroken at the loss of his girlfriend and potential child. The friction and tension between them leads to Char leaving Axis, under the supposed assignment of infiltrating the Earthsphere as an spy for Axis, but in reality he no longer has anything to live for at Axis so he's self-exiling himself, and going on a journey to bottle up his emotions and look for some thing new to do far away from Axis. From there he takes on the Quattro identity and starts up the AEUG.

>>22594836
>Amuro doesn't have the heart to tell him that his Gundam got blown up

>>22599389
Cool.
Is there anything similar for 0088-0093?
For Char I mean, cause I heard Moon Gundam is set after ZZ and before CCA but he hasn't shown up

>>22599389
>lose your GF and baby
>go on a mission to the Earth to find yourself maybe
>meet Amuro, your greatest rival
>feel something for once in your life
>he tells you that he's going to sacrifice you to the gods of politics for absolutely no reason
>fuck off again and become space hitler

>>22599614
There's Zeta Define, which is a direct sequel to the Char's Deleted Affair manga. So far it is a retelling of the Zeta Gundam story with differences here and there, no idea if they'll go beyond that to cover the ~5 years between 0088 to 0093. If they do, it might take another 15 years to finish as the CDA manga ran from 2001 to 2009 and Zeta Define manga started in 2011 and is still ongoing as of this point in time.

There is an -unrelated- manga called MSV-R: Return of Johnny Ridden, set in UC0090. It doesn't focus on Char, but Char and his Neo Zeon faction show up 14 volumes into the story as another group chasing after the story's treasure that everyone wants. It's a little bit related to what you want because it includes two characters named Arlette and Danton in Char's group who are recent additions to the UC lore, introduced as loyal friends of Char. I guess someone at Sunrise realized that going by his actions, Char seems like a loner psychopath and needed friends who were normal. They sometimes use the characters to talk about Char from a different perspective. For example, they have this conversation to frame Char as less of a pedo (which is so commonly thought that it's even an joke within the franchise) and more of a person lacking motherly and womanly affection.

>>22600044
>Zeta Define
How far into Zeta it is already?
I kinda hope it will cover Double Zeta too.

Holy shit that’s even dumber than I thought. Based on Zeta I thought he was just leading her on or he wasn’t fully emotionally committed because of Lalah. Haman never took a shot and seethes about it for years. Way to turn a tragic character into a pathetic mess

>>22566190
Fun two-minute dopamine shot.
Kill yourself.

>>22623474
Whoever did the design for MS and uniforms nailed the design language. EFSF MS are blocky and the uniforms drab, Zeon's are sharp and spiked beyond the unsettling effect of the mono eye

>>22623003
Haman Kamille has been way too lewd in this manga.

This is for Lalah you big fat hindu nasty smelling fat bitch with your trifflin dirty bindi Newtype ass you big fat bitch oompa loompa body ass bitch I'm coming up there and I'm gonna beat the fuck out of you bitch and don't even call Amuro today cause I'm gonna come up there unexpected and wait on your motherfuckin ass bitch im coming to beat the fuck out of you bitch

>>22566282
>>22566190
It's doubly hilarious because in the original CCA Hi-Streamer novel, Amuro is a womanizing Bond-type bad boy who fucked his subordinate/second-in-command Cunningham Shaw, sexually harassed the Quess equivalent, constantly flirting with women and having one-night flings. He also slept with Chan after meeting her for the first time when reuniting with Bright.

>>22630884
Let me correct that, he's not only sexually harassing not!Quess like "an old perverted father" (as described in the book) but actually slept with her after a drinking together. Motherfucker actually slept with a girl 10 years younger than him. He also groped female bridge bunnies and went picking up women at a bar.

>>22630888
Meanwhile Char is out here being a good husband and soon to be father taking care of his pregnant wife.

>>22630884
>>22630888
I know that in the novelizations Amuro was sent prostitutes during his years of house arrest to appease him but it be fucking possible that he became a womanizer in CCA. What the fuck is Hi-Streamer and who wrote this?

>>22631942
Mobile Suit Gundam High-Streamer was the novel Tomino wrote and used as a basis for Char's Counter Attack. The movie is an adaptation of mostly the 2nd half of High Streamer, although with various tweaks.

When it got approval to become an anime movie though, Tomino also came up with a new story outline he thought would work better as a movie, but it was rejected (this became the basis for Tomiino's later and different version of CCA novel, Beltorchika's Children).

>>22631950
Thanks for the trivia, I thought CCA and Beltorchikas Children were based on a original propsal and not a previously existing novel.

No! I still have to have an AI Amuro read the script!


[EG] Mobile Suit Gundam SEED - Original Version AI Upscale

https://nyaa.si/view/1801041
https://nyaa.si/view/1808448

Second batch with 26-50 is out now. Full details about the upscale process are in the Nyaa posts, but basically, this is an upscale of the original SD version of SEED. It was done using a custom upscaling model trained specifically on the HD Remaster.

This version is based on the SD Blu-rays from Rightstuf, so the source is much cleaner than the original DVDs, and it's from hchcsen's remuxes, so they're as good as you can get.

>>22595067
SD version upscaled 200% for comparison

Anonymous

>>22595067
Would this work with Eureka Seven? Train the AI upscaling model using the later Eureka Seven releases to upscale the original show to 4K then downscale it back to 1080p?

>>22595077
Would you believe I've actually been trying this? The model "works" on E7 but the improvement is negligible imo. There are other models that definitely improve the sharpness dramatically, but they enhance and smooth the background details too unnaturally to be useable.

Needless to say, training models has been a rabbit hole. I've been looking into good training references for the Dynit Sailor Moon DVDs, since my initial version with Topaz was lackluster, looking back on it.

>>22595079
Is it effective on cel shows? I know there's still some old mecha that are still in SD like L-Gaim.
What would happen if you upscale it with models trained from the Bluray rips of FSS or Zeta Gundam (since it's they're aesthetically similar to L-Gaim)?

>>22595095
The thing is, the model has to be trained on the low res and high res versions of identical content. The problem is finding HD versions that are "good" comparisons. Unfortunately, there are many HD remasters that are overly denoised, so the model then becomes trained to remove a ton of background detail.

I've tried creating synthetic downscales of 16mm content (G-Gundam), effectively making my own pretend DVD encodes, then training against the original BD version. I then also added some 0080 DVD and BD comparisons into the training to give it some real world variety, and it's pretty effective, though it can smooth some details too. The 0080 training actually goes a long way towards improving line art though. Let me grab some test screencaps...

>>22595100
Okay, so here's a raw DVD screencap. I have a few models I've been working on with varying results.

>>22595111
(In case it wasn't obvious, that was upscaled to 1080p for comparison)

Here is my current "hybrid" model, which combines training data from the synthetic G-Gundam downscale, and 0080's DVD and BD versions. It is definitely smooth and perhaps overly sharpened to the eye, but it is the most consistent so far.

>>22595112
This is with the synthetic G-Gundam training alone, which retains the grain, and is naturally somewhat softer, BUT it also sharpens the lines in very inconsistent ways at times. It also doesn't alleviate issues with the older transfer like the chromatic abberation and color bleed. On the other hand, the 0080 training data helps a lot with that, since it compared an older transfer to a newer one.

>>22595114
Lastly, here was my idealistic attempt. Knowing this was a Toei production from around the same time, I figured there is no better comparison to use than the DBZ Dragon Box and the abandoned DBZ Level Sets, which were full of grain.

The problem was that I was unable to find a BDMV or Remux of the Level Sets, so I had to train against a slightly denoised encode. This unfortunately tainted the training, so it removes a shit ton of detail from certain background shots, but it otherwise has a really pleasing look to the outlines (though it doesn't do much anything for the color bleed).

>>22595077
If you're curious, here's the raw BDMV of E7 (US release. I'm not sure if the JP version is any better).

The upscaling is aliased and edge enhanced, so it's difficult to ascertain the exact source resolution.

>>22596044
And here's with the SEED upscaling model applied. I've also removed the edge enhancement and done a mild denoise before upscaling since the BD encoding isn't great.

>>22596047
Well, well, well. How's this?

>>22597344
This looks amazing. How does it look when it's moving? Any quick WEBMs?

>>22597363
https://mega.nz/file/7F5hnQqR#t1TNV<wbr>fvNkrAe_BcJol2J0u4mlIdDtSFjZH4sBNBt<wbr>kxY

Quick encode of the OP. The credits definitely get fucked from the upscaling, but I think it would be forgivable in the grand scheme of things.

>>22597380
This is how the Blurays should've been

>>22597344
Holy shit this is insane, and I thought the show couldn't look any better.
would definitely pay for Blu Rays in this quality.

>>22598039
>>22598077
Yeah I'm honestly still blown away by how effective it can be. I've been on a fucking spree training models the last three weeks for both digital and cel purposes.

>>22598263
Is it me or is it taking out a lot of the subtle shading and making it look too pixel perfect painted now? Like you oversaturated an image with a glaussian blur or something.

>>22600707
I mean, it's never going to look perfect. There are quite a few models out there that make it look REALLY pixel perfect - like promo art level. Most of those tend to fuck up the blur effects used in backgrounds too.

>>22600946
Oh, no, I didn't expect it to be. I'm just curious if there was anything super wonky with the upscaling (mainly with background stuff)

a heads up if people are still looking at this thread
the ever excellent ai upscale model for older web and DVD release had finally released
https://github.com/Sirosky/Upscale-<wbr>Hub/releases/tag/AniSD
2x_AniSD_G6i1_SPAN_215K and 2x_AniSD_AC_G6i2b_SPAN_190K is what author recommend for most case,and with JaNai GUI running with tensorRT,it is ver possible to upscale video in ver high fps.

>>22602037
I've been following Sirosky's guides for this whole endeavor, and these models look legit. I can't believe I'm saying that they almost seem *too* faithful just judging by the screenshots, but that's awesome that he achieved it. I'll have to try these out sometime today.

I haven't played with JaNai much (I should, it would open up more models to me), as I'm always loading these in via Vapoursynth for other processing, but this might give me a reason.

>>22602298
Here's the same E7 frame with AniSD. It's nice, but it doesn't feel like enough of a change to justify the compute power.

>>22602346
Imo, the ideal is somewhere else. The quick model I showed in >>22597344 has artifacts in a number of places, but there's gotta be a middle ground....

>>22595067
I've watched your CCA and Big O upscales and have them in my personal digital library; if you don't mind me asking, how the heck do you make these? I'm a programmer and I've been dabbling in AI image generation so I'm not a complete layman, but I'm interested if you have any resources you could share on how to get started doing this kind of stuff.

Confused boner.

>>22595067
Would Destiny warrant the same treatment in your opinion? Or is the HD remaster of it good enough?

>>22606992
Huh, I thought this thread died a while ago... I can't take much credit really. The whole infrastructure around this is much bigger and more advanced that I can comprehend, but thankfully there's a very helpful Discord community around training these models, so I followed this guide:

https://github.com/Sirosky/Upscale-<wbr>Hub/wiki/%F0%9F%93%88-Training-a-Mo<wbr>del-in-NeoSR

CCA is NOT an upscale. That is a legit 4K remastered source. All I did was adjust the HDR color grade. Big-O honestly warrants a do-over since it was done in Topaz, and I've actually been training cel-oriented models that could handle it much better. The only thing stopping me is the manual stitching work I did on that release to get the OP restored.

>>22606996
God, watching SEED Freedom this week has really made me feel my age. I was involved in fansubbing back in 2003/2004 but didn't do EG stuff till 2006. Life is a beautiful but horrifying thing.

>>22607283
It's mostly okay, but text does trip it up sometimes. This particular model benefits from having a very exact HD source to train against, which isn't always an option, especially with 2000s digipaint. Topaz is impressive at times but it's too generalized to get ideal results.

>>22607755
Fuck I might as well just be open about it. I'm 32 episodes into the encode, remuxing OZC's subs and upscaling from the US BDs. It took me quite a while to get a model I was satisfied with, searching for sources that would not remove background detail, sharpened up well, and maintained a mostly natural appearance in the line work.

I needed 2000s-era sources that had true 1080p levels of detail, clean video mastering, and equivalent low res sources as well. I settled on two movies: The Cat Returns and REDLINE. Ghibli sources are honestly some of the best, BUT, most of their digipaint works have artificial grain over them, which would taint the training results. The Cat Returns was free of grain, *and* I was able to find a DVD ISO of an older release to let the model have real sources to work with. For Redline, I only found a BD source, so I ended up creating my own "DVD-equivalent" MPEG2 encode that was used as a synthetic source to train against.

Thanks RX. I hope you never fully retire and keep blessing us with your releases even if they're just experiments.

>>22621509
>I hate Destiny too much to bother.

So say someone else wanted to give a go at Destiny in your stead. Do you think using one of those pre-made Sirosky models is probably good enough or is it better to go through the motions of training it against Destiny HD like you did with SEED HD? If a custom training job is better, you mentioned you trained your model on a handful of episodes, but was there anything about those that made you pick them or just that they were spread across the show's run?

>>22622255
Different OPs/EDs, different landscapes (space, desert, cities, etc), and just more variety in general. The more examples you can give the trainer the better.

>>22622266
Gotcha, that makes sense. I have no idea if I'll even be able to make any of this stuff work, but after getting halfway through your SEED upscale, I don't see myself ever going back to the official HD version if I don't have to.

>>22622328
I mean, you could try the model I used for SEED on Destiny if you want. I'll share it when I get home later.

>>22622336
That would be awesome. Certainly can't hurt to try.

>>22622349
Make sure to grab the SDBD remuxes if you can. I think hchcsen has them on Nyaa. Also, Destiny *should* mostly be 23.976fps, so you likely can get away with a simple inverse telecine on it.

>>22622356
Yep, got those already so I should be set there.

>>22623047
Oh. Time marches on, I guess. Was that encoding job any good? Were you being asked to coform to shitty industry encoding practices?

>>22622894
Well, gave it a shot with Episode 1. Seems like it works pretty well to me. It feels like Destiny is a little noisier at the source compared to what your SEED comparisons looked like, but I guess that means it's accurate.

>God, watching SEED Freedom this week has really made me feel my age. I was involved in fansubbing back in 2003/2004 but didn't do EG stuff till 2006. Life is a beautiful but horrifying thing.

Bro I know people that have archived all your anime releases. All of them. You have left your mark on fansub history.

>>22595067

>>22595118
A bit out of topic but I wanna ask, any chance of you experimenting for removing the pink tint on Sailor Moon?

>>22623248
You can always give it a very gentle denoise if you feel it would benefit, but I think it looks pretty natural. This model wasn't really trained to denoise at all since the SD source was also very clean, but other models offer more of a denoising and general repair approach. If you ever want to try training, you can actually build off of existing models, so you can get a head start by using my SEED model and adding Destiny training data to it.

>>22623297
I appreciate that, but I barely worked in true fansubbing. EG has always been a rip group. My brief fansubbing stint was with a group called Anime-Blitz for about two years.

>>22623302
You'd need a completely different approach to do this, but also raw source audio of the original VAs.

>>22623307
I did actually try, and I even put out up to Sailor Moon S, with varying results. I created a LUT for every season that took different approached, but I was never really satisfied with the result. On a related note though, I recently trained a model that gives a pretty impressive upscaling result to the Dynit DVDs.

No offense to your hard work, but wouldn't you be better of training AI models on multiple film grain samples? Then use AI to remove film grain from the releases.

I own several animation cels, and no grain is present. The original animators did not intend for their work to be covered in grain. It's merely a consequence of using old school film.

>>22623473
Putting aside the extra computing power to do this in two stages (you'd ideally just get a model that can do both), it would be extremely difficult to get perfectly clean references. There's a difference between training a model on something that's denoised and something that's inherently clean. What you'd basically need are the actual cel references (complete with backgrounds).

I've tried training against denoised sources, or sources that were HD but clearly DNR'r, and all it has led to is training the models to aggressively denoised the SD image. Sometimes it's tolerable, but I still don't find it natural.

When you start going along the the thought process of "it's not what the animators intended", I absolutely understand where you're coming from, but then you have to start questioning every other issue with the production techniques of the day. Should the image also be 100% stabilized and free of gate weave? Should mis-painted cels be corrected? Should the brush strokes of certain cels be smoothed out? I doubt they intended those issues to crop up too, but it's how it was produced.

The answer isn't black and white of course. There are different approaches to remastering all the time, and in the world of actual professional high-end film restoration, the results can be sharper and clearer than was even possible back when it was produced. And yes, I agree that we should take it to that level *if it looks good*... But it often fails to.

>>22623505
Different anon here. I'm curious. They have video packs of recorded pure film grain. 8mm,16mm, 35mm, etc. Plus different brands like Kodak, Fujifilm, etc. Couldn't you train your AI with those packs to recognize those film grains? Then ask the AI to remove the grains from footage?

>>22624193
It's not that simple. Grain packs are also neat but grain itself doesn't apply universally across all scenes. Bright and dark shots render differently on film stocks, and then you have to consider that most BDs have at least some form of DNR. There are a few that are seemingly untouched (Outlaw star, Escaflowne, and NGE come to mind), but it makes it very difficult to create a model comprehensive enough to detect what kind of grain it is and remove only that. Could it be done? Perhaps, but it's beyond my abilities and resources.

EG, for the Big O release and that stuff about the OP being interlaced 60 fps, why couldn't you just use ordered chapters for the OP?

>>22624317
Hardware compatibility, too many people bitching about ordered chapters through the years

>>22624263
Hold on. Whats the issue? You can train your AI using grain packs recorded in both light and darkness. There are packs of those. Different grain stocks aren't an issue since these packs contain so many different stocks and brands.

>DNR
If something has been DNR'd pre-release, then there's nothing you can do about it correct? Not unless you can find the original pre-DNR footage which are stored in vaults and archives. So your baseline is basically the DVD and BD releases. And these days sometimes only the BD release is the only one.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the work the work you you've done. You are pretty much a legend in the fansub and release community. I'm just confused about your goals on this one specific issue.

>>22625923
Alright, let's assume you could train on every possible baseline expectation of grain. Now the model is essentially trained to look for "perfect" grain as defined by the grain packs. But if something is DNR'd, its grain is no longer "perfect". So it's not like it can then do a simple subtraction of grain from the image. Combine this with the fact that films can have duplicate grain structures (35 to 16, and even 16 to 16mm), and there are countless reasons it's not that easy.

>>22625923
>>22626003
Also to expand on this further, I don't know how to train on only one reference. The way these trainers work is you feed them the "problem" and the "solution". So for example, you can show it content that is aliased and the matching references that are unaliased, training it to fix aliasing.

For grain, you'd have to show it what the "proper" result should be. For a grain pack, would it simply be a solid grey background? It has no idea how image detail is comprised beneath the grain.

>>22626003
Wait. Hold on. Aren't you training the AI to recognize individual grain particles? How would grain video packs be insufficient?

Even if a release has ubdergone DNR, my understanding is that the DNR process removes grain particles based on a mathematical algorithm. And that you can adjust the strength of DNR depending on the software. But DNR doesn't physically change the "size" of grain particles already present in the footage. It just removes them.

But if you use AI, you can feed it multiple examples of different 16mm film grain packs (dark/light, night/day, super 16mm/regular 16mm, Kodak/Fujifilm, etc) under different conditions. Eventually the AI learns what 16mm film grain particles generally looks like.

Then you can ask it to remove film grain particles from an image. Of course Im summarizing a lot here, but that's my understanding.

>>22626041
That's not true at all, DNR absolutely can alter the size. On a basic level you are averaging neighboring pixels, so your averaged grain will in effect be larger.

>>22626003
>>22626165
Different anon here. The grain packs aren't just one type or size of grain. An 8mm grain pack will have grain of various sizes typical to 8mm film. The 8mm grain isn't just one size. It will vary. Same with 16mm and 35mm. If dnr reduces size in addition to removal, then that reduced size grain particle should still be recognized correct? Only the AI would think a 16mm grain particle that has undergone dnr might be a 35mm grain particle.

rewatching it now and honestly I kinda prefer the OG frames compared to HD remaster. The only "oh fuck what were they thinking" was athruns. Kira looks a lot better in the original frames compared to the remastered "destiny-like look"

>>22626236
like i think the biggest problem is Kira (Seed) and Kira (Destiny) have a distinct difference with their hair and look. (Seed is more baby face, hair is more flatter) but the redrawn scenes use the Kira from Destiny as a reference and it throws you off.

>>22623424
>>22623426
Is Sailor moon ever going to be released in true HD? The show was made in 16mm film right? That's good enough for 4K. Toei made it right? Why is it taking so long. Sailor moon is iconic

>>22628685
Toei seems to not give a shit about their greatest legacies

>>22628685
They did release BluRays not too long ago, but they look as bad as you'd expect from Toei.
Despite how big Sailor Moon was in the 90s, it seems like they do everything in their power to not give a shit about it. Just look at Crystal. It's a dead property at this point.

Yeah, it's insane how the upscales you did before are somehow much better.
It's honestly a miracle that those Italian DVDs were ever a thing. Can only hope that the same distributors make a remaster of their own, but I seriously doubt that will ever happen.

>>22629142
That can't be the original film scan. It's blurry as heck. Its a DVD upscale

Are there any additional scenes added in the movies/special editions, like the Mu's Perfect Strike and the Experimental Guaiz, that you would consider merging into a release?

I've always hated having nice extra stuff locked behind movies. Having a definitive everything included series would be cool. I understand audio and sub timing would be a little annoying, though.

The Nozomi pilot is also the youngest of the team. Last I recall, Season 1's youngest pilot is Rei (800 Tsubame pilot), and Z's is Ginga (500 Kodama's pilot). Though I heard the 500 series is ending service, while we're getting the new E8 series to replace the old E3 models, hopefully waiting for the E8 as a new Shinkalion for this show. But then, with the 500 ending service soon, what model will be used for a JR West Shinkalion?

>>22569691
Might relegate the 500 into the EVA crossover-only vehicle.

Kinda dull after the aerodynamic hocus pocus that was AX

>>22569698
It's another sharp nose like the E5 and E6. For something that is supposed to succeed the E3, it does look less bulky and more sleek, and it's still considered a mini-shinkansen like the E3 and E6. And you think this model is still useful for a ninja-based Shinkalion?

>>22569705
Are they keeping the ninja archetype for it tho?

Not too sure. Only thing we know about Mai is that she's a registered member of ERDA and is also from Saitama prefecture, though it's still a question of when she'll drive a Shinkalion.

We got >>22570024 as the answer. The Doctor Yellow could very well be relegated to the manga. As for the 800, there will be enough space for it or the N700S Kamome as the JR Kyushu rep, but the final Shinkalion is most likely the Alfa-X, as a means to redeem themselves over not using it in Z despite getting a toy of it.

>>22574057
It’s perfectly fine. It’s a very similar approach to how the other 2 series did their first episode. There will be 38 other episodes of fights, you can handle 1 that establishes the characters and world. It’s not like we’re watching Dancouga where you don’t get a mech fight for like 20 episodes.

Sailor Otaku

>>22573572
>>22574057
I also was a little surprised they went with full character and setting intro rather than a robot fight right away. O.G. had time for a robot fight and a slow intro to SOME of the characters. On the other hand, rushing into a monster of the week fight every week is a way to waste their limited 39 episodes. They're going to have to move the plot forward basically every week with very little opportunity filler. Shinkalion Z tried this and unfortunately it didn't work because they had to shoehorn in a robot fight every time and introduce a lot of characters to drive the toys, but they kept the plot moving forward -- PLUS reintroduce the old cast and show what they were doing. Unfortunately that usually meant that outside of the core cast, characters did one interesting thing and then got sidelined. A smaller core cast and no previous series continuity to have to cater to might make them able to keep the plot managed to 39 episodes.

>>22582736
Yeah, her pronunciation of that line was odd. I can't place the accent though, I think it's just slang. She only got two lines, I'd have to hear more to identify it.

Either you get the shiny new E-series, or you're going Doctor Yellow, Mai. So, anyone expect her to be the second protag as the story goes on?

>>22583163
>second protag
They'll prolly just hyperfocus the main trio. Also there might not even be room for that in this season. And there's still more characters coming with 800 and that triple train what's his name

>>22583170
Wait, I thought the original 700 and N700 models are dead stock at this rate. We are still getting the N700S Kamome and 800 Tsubame, correct? And the 500 is slowly getting retired, but I think they can still cough up the E8 as soon as possible.

Not feeling the new cast yet, just bring back the OG...

Either that or to increase dramatic tension.

>>22583767
Maybe it's needed to build up the necessary velocity to catapult the Shinkalion into Ultra Evolution Space. Things seem to be data focused this year.

>>22583721
Soon, probably. The first two episodes felt like one long episode. We know for sure they're going to go to Tsuruga soon, the newest Shinkansen stop, and they've been showing travel destinations and activities in some of the previews with the kids.

From Black to Dark to Phantom... If we get two more series, the evil Shinkalion will get Noir and Schwarz each, I swear.

Also, is it funny how Ina-san's Shinkalion came out first? It's not rocket science, I expect she'd be among the bad guys since we know nothing about who is making the Unknown.

>>22621247

It's showing off a toy feature. All Shinkalions this season can combine with 2 others in any order like OG's Trinity gattai.

>>22621294
If we could see the Phantom go SRG, it might require the E5 and E8. Probably, since I still think Mai will pilot the E8 and Ina will turn up as the Driver of the Phantom.

>>22621474
Come on, Mai has to have bigger tits than that.

>>22622131
What's the point, they'd still be microscopic compared to a Shinkalion's monoboob.

Also are they making the full length of the train cars? That sounds like engineering hell with all that telescoping and panel-folding in the animated transformation. The rear of the front car/shoulders seem unusually smooth for that, maybe they are cosmetic parts?

This, and the appearance in SRW is how you know Shinkalion has made it as a show.

>>22624056
is SRW really relevant when Shinkalion is its own mini-crossover series?

>>22624093
Perhaps it's the other way around. Perhaps other anime and games have truly arrived when they make it into Shinkalion.

>>22624115
I can see them making Shinkalion of the Denliners, since they feel close to proper Den-O mecha after ToQger gimped their position. There are four models: Gouka (the main train, which Momotaros/Sword Form primarily uses), Isurugi (used by Urataros/Rod Form), Rekkou (used by Kintaros/Axe Form) and Ikazuchi (used by Ryutaros/Gun Form). The Gouka could either be patterned in the style of the Doctor Yellow or the Mk-II Shinkalion, and the rest can use the classic style if possible, or if they would go Change the World style, Gouka could be in a different style than the current Shinkalion we get.

>>22624115
Are there Rider collabs with JR? That's the common thing with the crossover Shinkalion

>>22623511
So is this like a fully working transformable fig?

Are the LQ releases gonna be a recurring thing?

Sailor Otaku

>>22627448
The group releasing the high quality rips only seems to do it now on Wednesday. The show airs on Sunday, so my choices are either to release it as soon as I finish it with good (LQ) quality rips, or just wait until Wednesday. People seem to prefer to watch it NOW so that's why I'm doing it.
