Anime video generator: create AI anime scenes and stories

Words that produce an anime look

Start with “cel-shaded anime”, then add detail: “expressive eyes”, “hand-painted background”, “soft colour”, or “dramatic lighting” for action. Describe the genre as well. A gentle slice-of-life scene and a sci-fi battle call for different words.

Prompts to try

Quiet: A boy waits for the last train at a small country station as snow falls, his breath visible in the cold. Static wide shot, cel-shaded anime, painted evening sky, soft piano.

Action: A young swordswoman leaps across rooftops at night, her coat flaring as she lands and turns to face the camera. Dynamic tracking shot, cel-shaded anime, sharp shadows, driving drums.

Use your own character

If you have artwork of your own character, upload it as a reference and the model will carry the design into new scenes. Only use art you own or have permission to use, and create your own characters rather than copying existing ones. Our consistent characters guide covers the details.

Telling a longer story

Choose a longer length and describe the arc, or use the series generator for a story that runs across episodes.

Dialogue

Put lines in double quotation marks. Short lines work best, and you can write them in Japanese or any other language if you prefer.
