A Super-Resolution algorithm can be used to deblur, by first determining the blur factor, downscaling the image accordingly, and applying the SR algorithm.
A deblur algorithm can be used to super-resolve, by first upsampling an low resolution image, applying gaussian blur, and applying the deblur algorithm. (This is what Anime4K does!)

Over-sharpening is usually what people associate with "sharpening" algorithms. It is not because they are "sharpening" algorithms that they are somehow "bad", it is simply because they are too simple or used for the wrong purpose. In Anime4K's case, we're sacrificing smoothness by introducing some aliasing, but with the benefit of **zero** ringing artifacts. Ringing is much more noticeable compared to aliasing when watching anime on 4K screens.

Just as how unsharp masking can ruin an image with ringing, Anime4K can do the same with aliasing if not used properly. People who don't mind ringing can keep using unsharp masking while those who don't mind aliasing can use Anime4K.
