NOTE 1:

ALRIGHT THIS GOT PERSONAL THANKS TO SABERSPARK, this is by far the absolute WORST source I had ever worked with. A culmination of a whole month's effort. Let the bastard trilogy begin!



NOTE 2:

WARNING: THIS RELEASE IS AVC 8bit 4:4:4 YCbCr, CONSIDER CONVERTING TO 4:2:0 BEFORE MODIFICATIONS!



NOTE 3:

This direct-to-video sequel that looks like a furry Wattpad fanfic was extremely poorly mastered for the "Blu-ray". Some highlights include: Jagged lines that eedi3 couldn't even save, ghosting artifacts on some characters, character animation lines seemingly turning into a 144p YouTube video for literally no reason, and all of this combined with poor early 2000s CGI.



NOTE 4:

Source was encoded in VC-1 and telecined, used FFMS2 for input, VIVTC to detelecine the video, light denoise and sharpening using FFT3D, converted the colorspace to RGB32 for input in REAL-CUGAN for 2X upscaling in order to fix up the blurry and jagged lines scattered throughout the movie, downscaled back to 1456x1072 using Catrom, converted back to YUV420P8 and finally encoding with x264 qp 0 at preset slow, which is mathematically lossless, and there's a hard-coded forced Danish subtitle in some parts.



NOTE 5:

I know it's not perfect in some scenes, but I did my best. Let's all cheer for the continuated development and further advancement of super-resolution AIs.
