With the growing demand for 4K content, classic anime series like One Piece (first aired 1999) present unique challenges for upscaling due to their original SD resolution, cel animation artifacts, film grain, and limited color depth. This paper analyzes a representative 4K clip from the One Piece digital remaster, comparing AI-based upscaling (e.g., Real-ESRGAN, Waifu2x) against traditional bicubic interpolation. Using metrics (PSNR, SSIM, VMAF) and subjective user studies, we find that AI methods preserve line art integrity better but introduce temporal flickering and texture hallucination. We propose a hybrid de-shaking post-processing step and evaluate its impact on perceived quality. Results indicate that while 4K upscales are preferred by younger viewers, purists favor unaltered HD versions due to detail distortion in fast-action scenes (e.g., Luffy’s Gum-Gum attacks). This study provides guidelines for future anime remasters.

For the average fan, streaming services are the primary destination. Crunchyroll and Netflix stream One Piece in 1080p (often labeled as "4K" on smart TV interfaces due to internal upscaling, though it is rarely native 4K). With the growing demand for 4K content, classic
Toei Animation has announced that future arcs (following Egghead ) will likely be produced in native 4K from the ground up. As of late 2025, the One Piece Log remaster project is slowly working through the backlog. This means that in the next few years, official 4K clips of early episodes (Romance Dawn, Alabasta) will become standard. We propose a hybrid de-shaking post-processing step and
