Why use this over an application like Chainner, or Topaz Video AI?
While both applications are undoubtedly more than capable, (among others, I'm sure) I found xinntao's implementation is extremely fast compared to Chainner. And of course free is always better than Topaz Video AI's high cost.
Other upscale models are popular, but realesr-animevideov3 remains a favorite of mine for multiple reasons.
