First time I saw a great image upscaler, it was called “waifu2x”, of course.
There was also an older machine learning project that removed censorship commonly found on japanese pornographic drawings, but this one got deleted of GitHub by the author some years ago and I don’t even remember it’s name anymore.

Yeah, the history of GANs stretch way back before transformers LLMs, and evolved into ESRGAN, finetunes in obscure Discords…
That history went somewhere, fortunately, and it definitely blows the venerable waifu2x out of the water: https://openmodeldb.info/
I used this recently for a professional project. It was by far the best at upscaling and it was free.
