[Project] I used a new ML algo called "AnimeSR" to restore the Cowboy Bebop movie and up rez it to full 4K. Here's a link to the end result - honestly think it looks amazing! (Video and Model link in post)

It took me about 46 hours to run this on my 3080 at home. The original files was from the Blu-ray release that was unfortunately pretty poorly done in my opinion. This version really gives it new life I think.

Here's a link to the video result to see for yourself:

And a link to the model I used!

I haven't watched the original Cowboy Bebop movie or anime, but this seems really cool, and it makes me really wanna see Trigun and Case Closed/Detective Conan rezed up xD

This is why AI was created. I think we can call it now.

Jokes aside, thank you for doing this. It looks fantastic.
