Zero no Tsukaima S1-S4. This project was nominated via open bidding: http://bbs.vcb-s.com/thread-4523-1-1.html

The first three seasons of Zero no Tsukaima look mediaeval and awful because of obvious up-scaling traces from DVD. In addition to the conventional anti-aliasing, we also added subjective enhancing to the image, including edge darkening, broken edge fixing and artificial grain. The point is to improve visual sharpness and experience while avoiding altering too much of the original style. Please see the first five pairs of screenshots for these fixes.

One thing we need to point out is that the first three seasons contain many interlaced scenes that the source left over, and there is no way to fix them after being enlarged and sharpened during BD remastering (see https://img.2222.moe/images/2020/03/23/27650.png). We manually located many of these frames and replaced them with undamaged frames nearby, on a case-by-case basis. Most should agree that slight jitter is better than severe interlacing. As for those too mild to be located or no replacement available, we had to give up on them.

The fourth season finally reaches the HD standard. Although there is still aliasing, ringing and chroma shift, post-processing is much more straightforward. We only fixed image artifacts and did not introduce any subjective processing.
