Hello, everyone. Given the frequency with which posts of specific styles have been showing up in the sub, and the discussion these have elicited with either the authors or among users in the comments, we the mods have decided to expand rules 2 and 3 of our sub, which now look like this:

Rule 2 (Harassment):

No harassment is allowed:

• On characters of the show

• On other users (indirectly, e.g. speaking badly about a user to another user in a comment, or directly, e.g. name calling)

• On recognized fan-shippings of any gender

• Over political/controversial topics

Rule 3 (Spam):

No spam is allowed. This includes:

• Content of poor quality (bad drawings or videos)

• Trolling

• Uncomfortable ranting

• Spam posting. To maintain high quality in posting, please limit your posts to 3 per a 24 hour period

In short, these changes boil down to: 1) posts or comments that engage in insensitive behavior with one or many users or communities would not be tolerated and, depending on severity, would be considered for immediate removal and/or ban (for instance one user who commented a picture of George Floyd in the I can’t breathe post earlier today which clearly has nothing to do with the show and deviates heavily into politics and controversy), and 2) users should not exceed 3 posts in 24 hours since it’s been noted that those who do may create posts with little quality or that provide little content for discussion.

Please feel free to provide your input on these changes and if you would prefer different or more changes to be included in the rules, as we work together to ensure our community provides us with high quality content in a comfortable environment for us all.

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.

And 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.

After gathering the best source publicly possible for each single episode (A mix of AMZN/HMAX/DVDs) and training several custom A. I. models (and many, MANY failed ones) me and u/CG_1989 have recently embarked in finally getting this upscale going.

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:

• Used only the best sources publicly available compared episode by episode for maximum output quality
• Custom A. I. models made specifically for this type of restoration, extremely aimed at preserving all textures, linework and detail
• Custom 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.
• Each 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.
• 2160p 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. Contrary to what some might say, we have proof of this.
• No size compromises, 1x11m episode measures at about 7GB, this is 4K HEVC Blu-Ray bitrate. 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.

Notes:

Update: Since the release of this upscale better official copies of the Movie and Valentine's special emerged. I recommend you download these over the ones found in this project as they were made using the very inferior sources we had available at the time.

There is a very brief missing scene in S02E03, this is due to the fact that the scene was missing in the original Amazon Master in the first place, in this case being the best quality source.

Another big thanks to u/CG_1989 who not only has been doing most of the legwork but also is providing the links for you to download from. Please be respectful and don't abuse them.

I would like to thank Xerxes#1843 for his models that were employed in conjunction to ours for the Movie and Valentine's special. If it wasn't for his model, the results on these would had never been of this level of quality.
