| I love anime OPs, but when I search them up nowadays, I see a "60 fps 4K" next to them. It looks like the OPs have been "enhanced" with some program. Lemme show you some of these. 60 fps 4K (Remember to set your settings to 1080p60 or something with the 60): Original: Now, you're free to have your own opinion, but the 60 fps one looks worse to me. It seems janky, and it's smooth in all the wrong places. (Also, the 60 fps one has the saturation raised up for some reason.) I wouldn't care too much about this if it wasn't for the fact that the 60 fps one has 1.8 million views while the original has 200k. It's dumb. If you want to see a really bad "enhanced" OP, look at this one: |

| 4K60 but NO HDR, let me dislike all these videos. How dare they lack high visual fidelity. |
 |
| The cuts in a "upgraded" 60fps OP always look terrible to me. The animations also look way too quick. I don't see the appeal at all. |

| They're called interpolated frames and are a travesty, they totally defeat the purpose of animation. Whatever floats their boat I guess. |
 |
| lol, of course they are bad, when the studio make the OP for be <30fps, and someone just forcibly adapts it into 60 with a shitty program. A more decent adaptation is not that easy, as you see with Chika dance: |
 |
| They're terrible and just ruin the craft that went behind it. I don't have a lot to add that wasn't said in that video: |
| Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of 60fps anime OPS, it just seems too smooth and defeats the purpose of animation. Also, this reminded me of a video about how 60 fps animation doesn't necessarily mean it's better |

| Some plebs think that 60 fps is better even though its just interpolated fake frames |

| They think the 60 frames look better for some reason |

| lol, there are some people who honestly think that the "60 fps" versions are better... |
ichigoisbae said: lol, there are some people who honestly think that the "60 fps" versions are better... My guess is that they're gamers that think that higher fps = better when it comes to animation |
| I guess people think it's nice? It's... really not. At least, to me. It totally destroys any nuances in character acting and subtle motions in the animation. A lot of... artifacting here? Is that the right word to describe the visual oddities? Yes, these are plopped into an AI. Yes, it "adds more frames" but that's not necessarily a good thing. Inbetweening exists for a reason, and look what this AI does to them. I just think that AI has a very, very long way to go before it can do a "60FPS anime." Cartoons & anime are animated at 24FPS for a good reason, and even those are animated by humans, not AI. I have seen this AI test on anime before. Once in a blue moon, one little cut from an anime will look relatively nice, but it will typically look quite different from the original cut, because the inbetweening is performed differently. |

| People who watch and enjoy these kinds of videos are probably just gamers who constantly complain about having low FPS in their games and think that higher FPS = better, which doesn't apply here as well as it does in games. You have to understand that anime is an already-finished product that is primarily adapted for 24 fps, and the ratio isn't even whole (1:2.5), so you have to create a half frame after every 2 added frames, which makes it all janky and weird. |

| Only time higher frames is better is for gaming, if you try that crap in animation it just looks wonky. |

| Just like Touniouk or Zackack99's opinion, This video explains my opinion pretty well. |
| I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack |
| The thing is that animation is made at 24fps max, and although OPs do have smoother animation than the rest of their anime will, meaning a decent chunk of it may genuinely be in a full 24fps, there's still some of it that will be done in 12fps and possibly even 8fps. Taking something that's originally 8fps and making it 60fps means that 87% of the frames are being created by the bot, which just makes it look like garbage. |
 |
| These things look weird. Do people really think these look better? Anime are not video games and software interpolating the frames is not the same as actual people drawing those 60 frames. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| It's disgusting. It needs to stop already. It just ruins the animation entirely. |
| "Never underestimate the stupidity of the average anime fan" |
| Yeah these are always really ugly. It's never a good idea to "increase" the framerate of anything like this. Interpolating between frames just makes things look mushy and fake (because they were never intended to be animated that way to begin with). I have no idea why anyone bothers to do this. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| I think they are trying to get more views I guess |
 |
| Those are gamers, nobody else really cares about frames per second. |
