APISR: Anime Production Inspired Real-World Anime Super-Resolution
While real-world anime super-resolution (SR) has gained increasing attention in the SR community, existing methods still adopt techniques from the photorealistic domain. In this paper, we analyze the anime production workflow and rethink how to use characteristics of it for the sake of the real-world anime SR. First, we argue that video networks and datasets are not necessary for anime SR due to the repetition use of hand-drawing frames. Instead, we propose an anime image collection pipeline by…

I think we all need one of these…

Acabei de assistir #monster (o anime em forma de série, não o longa com o mesmo nome). Eu gostei da complexidade da psicologia dos personagens (embora ainda tenha achado o roteiro forçado, com coincidências demais para parecer minimamente plausível). Mas confesso que absolutamente não entendi aquele final. Em especial o significado da cena do último episódio. Sim, eu sou burro rs.

The opening of "Delicious in Dungeon", an #anime series on Netflix, is the only opening right now where I don't hit the "skip" button. I don't understand a word of it but the emotional voice and the pensive character portraits are really something special. The series itself is incredibly good as well. Dungeons and Dragons with a twist.

No soy ningún experto en aviones, pero la estética del F14 Tomcat me parece una locura. No me extraña que sea tan fšcil ver influencias de su diseño en el anime de los 80, tanto en aeronaves como robots. Sin olvidar que es el protagonista del juego Afterburner de #Sega

The demo of this game is amazing. Not at all what I expected it to be from the review of GmanLives. Well, it is what he says it is, but it looked like vomit to me. It turns out--the looks are because you need to blaze true every run as fast as humanly possible, and the neon, the blood, and the explosions are there to guide you visually. With "additional music" by IcarusLIVES. Excellent arcade shooter 🤩

Hi Friends, what's a popular anime series that could be mentioned in an academic setting as an example, but isn't too weird or too adult?

I was going to post a question on Reddit about what two or three comics I should start reading that would be relatively easy to get caught up on and have good characters with little to no triggery stuff in them and have some fantasy or space opera elements, but then I realized that literally any subreddit I would post in would immediately ban my post for failing to follow some obscure rule about asking research questions and I’d be admonished by some mod for failing to have already ingested seventeen years of that specific /r/‘s culture and mores.
EDIT: because this is getting all the right kinds of lovely folk boosting—stuff I love in comic books would be things like Catherine Asaro’s Major Bhaajan, steampunk elements (god I don’t have the energy to catch up on Girl Genius but I used to love it), Honor Harrington, Xena Warrior Princess, anything hopeful future like Star Trek, the anime series Trinity Blood, no fae sexy shit because I already know how to find ACOTAR on Libby and I don’t need an illustrated guide, and whimsy eg a Psalm For The Wild-Built.

I love it when people see work on my site, and contact me about something similar for their project.

The rapid advancement of high-quality image generation models based on AI has generated a deluge of anime illustrations. Recommending illustrations to users within massive data has become a challenging and popular task. However, existing anime recommendation systems have focused on text features but still need to integrate image features. In addition, most multi-modal recommendation research is constrained by tightly coupled datasets, limiting its applicability to anime illustrations. We propos…

Terminei todos os episódios disponíveis de #DemonSlayer e continuo achando que é um anime com roteiro extremamente fraco e pouco coeso. As lutas são boas, mas é tudo muito forçado. A ação é suficientemente interessante pra prender a minha atenção e eu provavelmente verei as novas temporadas, mas esse anime o tempo inteiro me passa uma sensação de entretenimento vazio, sem me trazer nenhum…

How normal people watch #anime:
1. Fetch a random version and watch it.
How I watch anime:
1. Find a particularly good quality version and fetch it.
2. Discover that subtitles are HDMV PGS, and my TV probably can't handle that. Try writing a 5-minute sample to my pendrive to confirm, and check whether video and audio work fine.
3. Discover that my TV can't handle exFAT. Try again with NTFS.
4. Video and audio work fine, subtitles don't. Look for other subtitles.
5. Discover that the other subtitles don't sync well with my video. Try to find matching subtitles.
6. Give up and resync the previous subtitles instead. Remux a 5-minute sample to my pendrive.
7. The sample worked fine. Remux the whole movie to the pendrive.
8. Get an I/O error. Reconnect the pendrive to a different USB port and try again.
9. Discover that you've connected it to a slow port. Abort and try again.
10. Discover that the movie lags now. Perhaps it's because the file is large. Try splitting it by chapter. Use mpv to confirm that subtitles adjust fine to the split version.
11. Discover that the movie still lags. Try rebooting the TV.
12. The movie plays smoothly now. However, the TV can't handle subtitles from the second file. Remux as a single file again.
13. Watch the movie. Discover that it starts lagging again at end credits.
14. Watch the end credits on the PC.

I've started watching One Piece #anime today. With my usual rate of 1 episode a day, this means I'd catch up in roughly 3 years. Except that I'll probably be switching to something else between seasons.

Finally got around to replacing the old Ghost blog with something a bit more slim. Much easier using Jekyll Chirpy and I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Still needs a bit more work though. Moved the old blog to a different subdomain as it was easier than moving all the old stuff.
