This is an EXPERIMENTAL dataset for the purpose of training super-resolution models. Also check out my ModernAnimation_v3 dataset for something a bit more battle-tested.

• Contains 2500 full size frames taken from Blu-rays of classic animation dating from the 1940s through the 1990s.
• All sources contain film grain. The amount of grain causes compression artifacts in some of the sources.
• I have also provided a denoised version of the dataset using TemporalDegrainV2 in AviSynth. The efficacy of this varies from source to source.
• You may wish to do further processing such as generating tiles prior to training. You are also expected to generate any LR images yourself. I recommend WTP Dataset Destroyer for this purpose.
• 25 additional validation images have also been included, one from each source.
