EDIT: Reddit compressed the heck out of those screenshots...the actual videos look far better, I swear!
My apologies for removing my previous versions, but here it finally is:

(Includes both parts)

Before I had screwed up the upscale itself, and then the de-interlacing...but this latest(and final!) version really is about as good as it's going to look with the tools currently at our disposal.

Please enjoy, and I promise not to delete it this time! :)

I really appreciate the positive feedback from the first upload!

Here's part two:

A few notes:

This remaster is more refined; I've scaled back the sharpness and other settings to make it look less like 'AI slop.'

The source appeared to be an .mkv encoding from the DVD mpeg2 files. It's relatively HQ, but it seems to have been improperly de-interlaced to a flat 30FPS(not 29.97), so there are some minor interlacing artifacts baked into the original file - which also appear in the remaster. It's still a major improvement over Part 1, IMO - so please enjoy! :)

And a special thanks to u/babybluejay9 for finding the newly-uploaded version!
