Utena Cleanup Comparison Images:

The settings used to obtain these images (except the first which required slightly more smoothing and a cpu mode of 6) were:

mpeg2source("J:\Black Rose Blooms\VIDEO_TS\utena_blackroseblooms.d2v",ipp=true,cpu=4)
Telecide(order=1,post=2,blend=false,vthresh=30,back=1)
Decimate(cycle=5,mode=3,quality=3)
deen("a2d",4,9,11)
fluxsmooth()
mftoon()
ssxsharpen()
colorYUV(gain_u=15)
tweak(sat=1.2)

Smoothing is too strong (see details lost in last frame) but the effect is still reasonably appealing.
