News:

The improvement directions of AnimeGANv2 mainly include the following 4 points:

1. Solve the problem of high-frequency artifacts in the generated image.
2. It is easy to train and directly achieve the effects in the paper.
3. Further reduce the number of parameters of the generator network. (generator size: 8.17 Mb), The lite version has a smaller generator model.
4. Use new high-quality style data, which come from BD movies as much as possible.

AnimeGAN can be accessed from here.
