Flux 2 and Reve in Influencer Studio both generate striking anime visuals, but they’re optimized for different parts of an anime workflow. If you’re building consistent characters across a series, iterating on outfits and poses, or matching a specific manga/cel-shaded look, the right choice depends on how much control and editing you need versus how quickly you want polished results.
Below is a focused comparison for anime-style characters, manga aesthetics (linework, screentone vibes, panel-ready compositions), and cel-shading—plus how pricing and features like LoRA and text rendering can impact typical creator pipelines.
Anime — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Anime-style, cel-shaded illustration of a 20s influencer with shoulder-length teal hair in a loose messy bun, big expressive eyes, wearing an oversized gray hoodie and black biker shorts, holding a phone up for a mirror selfie while glancing toward the camera with a casual half-smile. She’s in a slightly cluttered bedroom “get ready with me” setup—laundry basket, makeup on a desk, posters on the wall, iced coffee on a nightstand—with soft morning window light and natural phone-camera perspective. Candid, imperfect vibe like an Instagram story frame, subtle motion blur from her shifting pose and a few flyaway hairs."

Flux 2 Strengths
- LoRA support for consistent anime characters and repeatable style (useful for series, recurring cast, and brandable manga looks)
- Versatile image-to-image editing for refining faces, hair, uniforms, and cel-shading boundaries without restarting from scratch
- Up to 4MP output for cleaner linework, sharper cel-shaded edges, and more print/panel-friendly detail
- Style transfer options to push toward specific anime eras (modern glossy, retro 90s, manga ink) while keeping composition
- Face-swap support for anime-styled identity continuity across multiple scenes (best for consistent character likeness)
Reve Strengths
- Strong aesthetic quality out of the box for anime key art, poster-style compositions, and polished cel-shaded renders
- Accurate text rendering for manga-like signage, title cards, sound-effect text, and UI overlays that need to stay readable
- Fast creative exploration at a lower per-image cost (8 credits) for testing prompts, palettes, and character concepts
- Great for prompt-driven anime illustration when you don’t need heavy editing or fine-tuned character LoRAs
Verdict
Choose Flux 2 if your anime workflow depends on control: consistent characters via LoRA, iterative image-to-image fixes, and higher-resolution output for crisp linework and cel-shaded edges. It’s a strong fit for ongoing series production, model-driven character sheets, and multi-scene continuity—at a higher per-image credit cost (22 credits Standard / 16 credits Klein 9B).
Choose Reve if you want attractive anime results quickly and affordably, especially when readable text matters (manga panels, labels, title treatments). At 8 credits per image, it’s ideal for high-volume concepting and poster-like anime art where editing depth and fine-tuning aren’t the priority.
