If cropper is not mentioned, it means I used "crop and straighten photos"

Notice that last one (King of Hell) is my not so new standard. No filters and then resizing to 2000px or bigger. It's easy and it works. Sakura Taisen, King of Hell, Kazan.
I will only post info of those releases which differ from that. Main question seems to be at save settings.

Saber Marionette J v2 (cropped by Saras)
-box blur           (radius 1)
-reduce noise  (strength 2)
-resize                 (heigh=1550)
-reduse noise  (strength 1)
-levels                (black=55 gray=1 white=245)

Saber Marionette J v3, v4 (cropped by Saras)
-box blur           (radius 1)
-box blur           (radius 1)
-reduce noise  (strength 2)
-resize                 (heigh=1550)
-reduse noise  (strength 1)
-levels                (black=55 gray=1 white=225)    I felt v2 came out in too dark tone. I normally would have increased gray value but there didn’t seem to be much of light grays so I just lowered white. Should look better that way.

Saber Marionette J v5 (cropped by Saras)
-levels                (black=36 gray=1 white=225)
-box blur           (radius 2)
-reduce noise  (strength 5)
-reduse noise  (strength 5)
-resize                 (heigh=1550)
-levels                (black=27 gray=1.12 white=240)    Denoice, and lot of it. Do you prefer it that way?

Eiken (cropped by Saras)
-levels                (black=75 gray=1,75 white=255)
-resize                 (heigh=1550)
-Topaz denoise
-Main
*noise threshold 9.5  sharpness  2.03
*noise suppression 1
-Advanced
*noise threshold adjestment
*radius 3.2=1,04  sharpness=0
*radius 1.6=3,09  sharpness=0.64
*radius 3.2=3,64  sharpness=-0.64
..
it’s friggin’ joke when you don’t know what your own settings mean. Still I would say it gives MQ. And anyone who disagrees better be able to give HQ by batch themselves.
