NijiJourney is an upgraded version of Midjourney, specially trained on anime and manga, now capable of creating videos.
The post features a fully generated NijiOpening. The fact that they reused some frames indicates a certain editing technique. Madhouse and MAPPA can rest easy for now; no competition is felt.
Overall, the result is still impressive. The quality of images, compositions, scene dynamics, and smooth transitions are very anime-like and recognizable.
To try it out, visit their website. Click the Create button, create or upload an image, enter a prompt — and you can start creating.
The image style influences the movement in the final animation. If the image is in a classic TV anime style, the movements will match that style. If you choose a more realistic 3D rendering, the movements will gain volume and naturalness.
Here are some main tips for writing a good prompt:
– Describe what can actually be seen in the image, not the characters’ internal feelings.
– Provide detailed information about the main action — what exactly is happening.
– Don’t forget to mention the background scene or environment to clarify the context.
The result is a short video approximately 5 seconds long in 480p resolution. If you have a Midjourney subscription, this feature is also available.
By the way, you can instantly generate materials for Rutracker with subtitles and voice acting by your favorite actors — everything will look organic.
