fizick: bravo, man. this denoiser is very cool indeed.
i always liked removedirt, but am prevented from using it for real-world situations, because of a nasty problem it has with "earthquake" style shaking, like you find in almost all anime at some point.
degrainmedian gives similar results but doesn't "remove" large sections of the frame in juddering motion.
i've only used it at default settings, so i'll see what i think of it after some experimentation (i'm working on converting Eva platinum edition to PAL. i never got a good look at the old eva, but considering that the "renewal" edition was seen as a dramatic improvement, the originals must have been complete crap, because the new ones are pretty awful too.)
