Even if your screen is not 4k, I recommend still setting the video to 4k. This will reduce artifacts. This is the exact same edit as my 1080p video. However, the source file is a 4k file, encoded in h265 (so, a bit worse than h264) The 4k conversion is not my work, Someone separated the movie into separate images, that made a file of over 2TB of data. Then each and every pictures were converted to 4k using Waifu2x algorithm. Which still is one of the best algorithm to scale up anime pictures to date. The result was a 21GB file, so, smaller than the original 26.3GB movie on the blueray, but it still has a much higher resolution. Waifu2x also removed some noise in the process. Amazing algorithm really. It's just really slow and resource intensive. Took over 600h to convert 2TB of data. Github https://github.com/lltcggie/waifu2x-caffe/releases Keep in mind it does not convert videos, only images. Also the program lacks a file from Nvidia for legal reasons, but should work without. Just that you can't use a GPU to make processing faster.

This is an example of what art can be when profitability isn’t the driving force behind a project.

This project took seven years, hand drawn, cel-shaded, which nearly bankrupted the company behind it. The quality of not just the story, but the concepts, the ideas, the intensity and the originality of the characters prove that we actually can produce art that has personality, when not shackled by (and even defying) the constraints of marketability and interest in profit. This shows how capitalism is hindering our capacity to put ourselves into our art (our heart, soul and passion), and is in-fact hindering innovation, not facilitating it. There is a massive amount of potential being squandered, and this is an exception to the rule which managed to (by some miracle) squeeze through the very narrow cracks of the capitalist barriers to progress. If we can produce works of this level of quality, think what else we can produce under a classless, moneyless society, as well as what we’ve lost by having an unjust and parasitic system forced upon us throughout history.

Those of you who wish to watch the movie in full, beware there are some scenes of nudity (although none present in this video).
