Prompt Engineering for AI Anime

The Basics of Anime Prompting

Writing effective prompts for anime-style generation requires understanding both the technical tags and artistic concepts.

A good anime prompt follows this structure:

**Quality tags**: masterpiece, best quality, ultra-detailed

**Subject**: 1girl, 1boy, couple, group

**Appearance**: hair color, eye color, outfit

**Action/Pose**: standing, dancing, sitting

**Setting**: indoor, outdoor, specific location

**Style**: anime style, cel shading, watercolor

Always include negative prompts to avoid common issues:

bad quality, worst quality, low quality

bad anatomy, bad hands, extra fingers

blurry, noise, artifacts

Be specific about what you want

Use weight syntax (word:1.2) to emphasize important elements
