building-anime-prompts
Builds structured anime and manga prompts for Midjourney Niji mode, matching artist styles, SREF codes, and technical parameters to user requests. Activates when the user wants to create anime art, reference specific manga artists or studios, use Niji mode, or generate character reference sheets and animations.
What this skill does
# Anime/Manga Prompt Builder Skill This skill helps users create authentic anime and manga art using Midjourney's Niji mode. It features comprehensive knowledge of 30+ manga artists, 14 anime studios, multiple genres, and technical Niji parameters. ## When to Activate This Skill Use this skill when users: 1. **Request anime or manga art** - "Create anime art of...", "Draw a manga character..." 2. **Mention anime artists** - "Ghibli style", "like Berserk", "Dragon Ball look" 3. **Ask about Niji mode** - "How do I use Niji?", "Anime settings in Midjourney" 4. **Want specific anime styles** - "magical girl", "shonen action", "cyberpunk anime" 5. **Reference anime studios** - "MAPPA style", "Kyoto Animation look", "Trigger aesthetic" 6. **Describe anime genres** - "seinen dark fantasy", "shoujo romance", "isekai adventure" 7. **Ask about SREF codes** - "What SREF code for Ghibli?", "Anime style reference codes" 8. **Want consistent styling** - "Make it look like...", "Same style as...", "Visual consistency" 9. **Need character consistency** - "Same character in different poses", "Keep my character consistent" 10. **Want reference sheets** - "Create a character sheet", "Multiple views of character" 11. **Ask about --cref** - "How do I use character reference?", "What is --cref?" 12. **Want to animate images** - "Animate my image", "Make it move", "Create video" 13. **Ask about video/animation** - "How do I animate?", "What is --video?", "Motion prompts" ## When NOT to Activate Do not use this skill when: - Users want photorealistic or non-anime images - Users are working on code unrelated to image generation - Users are asking about other AI tools (DALL-E, Stable Diffusion) - The request is for Western cartoon styles (not anime) ## Core Capabilities ### Supported Artists (30+) **Foundational**: Osamu Tezuka, Leiji Matsumoto, Go Nagai **Shonen**: Akira Toriyama, Eiichiro Oda, Masashi Kishimoto, Tatsuki Fujimoto, Hajime Isayama, Gege Akutami, Kohei Horikoshi **Seinen**: Kentaro Miura, Katsuhiro Otomo, Naoki Urasawa, Junji Ito, Tsutomu Nihei, Takehiko Inoue **Shoujo/Josei**: Naoko Takeuchi, CLAMP, Rumiko Takahashi, Ai Yazawa **Directors**: Hayao Miyazaki, Makoto Shinkai, Hideaki Anno, Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Hosoda, Hiroyuki Imaishi **Modern**: Hirohiko Araki, ONE, Yusuke Murata, Sui Ishida, Yoshitoshi Abe ### Supported Studios (14) Studio Ghibli, Kyoto Animation, MAPPA, Ufotable, WIT Studio, Bones, Madhouse, Trigger, Shaft, Production I.G, Sunrise, Toei Animation, A-1 Pictures, CloverWorks ### Genres -

Cute/Kawaii (adorable, soft, whimsical) - Dramatic/Expressive (intense, bold, dynamic) - Scenic/Atmospheric (cinematic, environmental) - Classic/Retro (80s/90s anime look) - Let the artist style guide it (skip) Then ask about aspect ratio. Based on aesthetic selection, automatically inject appropriate keywords (see Internal Reference at end of file). ### Step 5: Style Reference (Auto-Matched) Automatically suggest a matching SREF code based on user's genre, artist, and aesthetic selections. Don't ask users to browse or choose - offer a pre-matched code: - "I can add a style reference that matches your [genre/aesthetic]. Add it?" - If yes, ask about intensity (Light/Medium/Strong/Very Strong) - Reference the Internal Reference: SREF Auto-Matching section for matching logic ### Step 6: Character Reference (Optional) Ask if user needs character consistency: - Create new character → offer reference sheet templates - Use existing reference → get URL and suggest --cw weight - Skip for single images ### Step 7: Animation (Optional) Ask if user wants to animate their image: - Yes → guide through motion style, camera motion, intensity - No → skip to final output - Note: Web app only (not Discord) ### Step 7.5: Output Structure Ask user about prompt structure level: - Standard (6 sections - easy to modify key elements) - Granular (8 sections - more control over details) - Maximum (10 sections - full element-by-element control) ### Step 8: Build Prompt Construct and output the structured Niji prompt using selected level. ## Example Outputs (Standard Structure) ### Ghibli Style ``` [Character] young adventurer | [Action] discovering hidden forest spirit | [Scene] lush vegetation, enchanting forest | [Style] Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki | [Genre] magical realism, whimsical | [Mood] soft natural lighting --niji 6 --ar 16:9 --s 500 ``` ### Dark Fantasy ``` [Character] lone warrior, intense expression | [Action] facing demon, battle stance | [Scene] gothic cathedral, atmospheric | [Style] Berserk, Kentaro Miura | [Genre] dark fantasy, seinen | [Mood] hyper-detailed linework, dramatic shadows --niji 6 --ar 2:3 --s 800 ``` ### Magical Girl (Cute Aesthetic) ``` [Character] magical girl, adorable expression, big sparkling eyes | [Action] mid-transformation, dynamic graceful pose | [Scene] cosmic starry background, sparkles and ribbons | [Style] Sailor Moon, Naoko Takeuchi | [Genre] magical girl, shoujo, kawaii | [Mood] soft pastel colors, pink and lavender, soft glowing lighting --niji 6 --ar
