Damn. I remember all the debates on /a/ (4chan anime board) on what are the best options and presets... for watching anime. Looking back it was kind of silly but we were able to do that because the player was so well built.

On Linux/macOS I use mpv - I recommend it!

I really liked the interpolation stuff you could get in MPC-HC. Panning and such in anime was so much nicer.

Edit: Turns out this isn't unique to MPC-HC: https://www.svp-team.com/

In case anyone's seeing this using SVP3 and had no idea that 4 had released, 4 is well worth paying for, it is far less hardware intensive (SVP3 would choke getting high bitrate 1080p videos to 60fps, SVP4 handles the same files like a dream - anecdotal but better than nothing), the interface of the main application has been... improved (kinda subjective, but it's definitely more idiot proof) and it even supports VLC now if you swing that way.
Ah, KCP... memories :')
Well, this is because almost everyone nowadays concur that mpv is the way to go.
