Wondering if it would anime-ise it, I fed Waifu2x the standard Lenna image - twice - ended up with this: http://i.imgur.com/iNWRjIS.png

How did you achieve that? I've run it through several times and whatever settings I use, can't get anything close to yours?

I took the original, scaled it down to 1/4, and then back up to original with Waifu2x at 2x scale, maximum noise reduction.

That's fantastic!
