This was built on top of the Pytorch implementation [0] of AnimeGANv2, using gradio [1] and HuggingFace Spaces [2]. See the 100s of examples [3] posted by users. [0]: https://github.com/bryandlee/animegan2-pytorch [1]: https://gradio.app [2]: https://huggingface.co/spaces [3]: https://twitter.com/ak92501/status/1457033482115420160/retwe...

Does the app keep any data after generating the image?

Nothing is saved by default. Clicking 'flag' saves the input and output (only accessible to the space owner). More info on flagging: https://gradio.app/getting_started/#flagging

I guess it's impressive you can train a network to do that, but it doesn't look much better than a photoshop filter.

The Squid Game one looks kind of okay but the rest are uninspired.

Nice, but the problem I have with this and similar techniques is that if you zoom out sufficiently far, then you don't see a difference with the original image. This is not how "anime" is supposed to work.

Yes, it learns to replace the high-frequency features while leaving low frequencies intact, just like all those other style transfer CNNs.

I'm not sure if you're saying it's bad because you're underestimating how powerful some Photoshop filters are, or if you're saying it's good because you aren't.

There is one further down for a Comic-Con and it looks really good. The rest less so. But it’s a good filter.
