Anime — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Anime-style cel-shaded illustration of a 20s influencer with shoulder-length teal hair and big expressive eyes, wearing an oversized beige hoodie and bike shorts, holding a phone slightly above eye level for a casual front-camera selfie while glancing near the lens mid-sentence. She’s seated by a sunny café window with an iced matcha on the table, messy tote bag on the chair, warm natural daylight and soft shadows like an Instagram Story grab. Keep it candid and relatable (slightly imperfect framing, subtle motion in her hand), modern Japanese animation look with clean linework and vibrant color accents."

Grok Imagine Strengths
- Strong creative compositions for dynamic anime key art (cinematic angles, dramatic lighting, action poses)
- High-detail outputs that translate well into polished cel-shaded looks when prompted for clean linework and flat colors
- Versatile image-to-image for iterating on character drafts, outfit variants, or refining an existing anime render
- Good for “anime-realism” hybrids (detailed textures with stylized faces) when you want a premium illustration feel
- Better value per render at 4 credits per image for high-volume concept exploration
Reve Strengths
- Consistently attractive anime/manga aesthetic with strong overall art direction (color harmony, pleasing stylization)
- More reliable text rendering for anime posters, manga cover typography, UI overlays, and in-scene signage
- Great for clean, design-forward outputs (cover art, promotional visuals, character cards) where aesthetics are the priority
- Strong prompt adherence for style cues like “flat cel shading,” “clean ink lines,” and “screen tones” in manga-like scenes
- Best choice when the final image must ship with legible text, even at higher cost (8 credits per image)
Verdict
Choose Grok Imagine if your anime workflow is about generating lots of character and scene options quickly, pushing creative compositions, and refining results via image-to-image—especially when you want high detail and strong visual impact at a lower credit cost.
Choose Reve if your anime deliverable needs a consistently polished aesthetic and, crucially, accurate on-image text (titles, logos, signage, sound effects). It costs more per image, but it can save time when typography and presentation quality matter.
