Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Choosing the right model for anime content on Influencer Studio often comes down to two priorities: how cleanly it can hit a manga/cel-shaded look, and how reliably it can keep character details consistent across variations. Nano Banana Pro and Seedream 4.5 both deliver high-quality anime-style images, but they shine in different parts of the workflow.
Nano Banana Pro is geared toward production-grade outputs—especially when your anime artwork needs readable on-image text (signage, UI overlays, title cards) and crisp, polished finishing. Seedream 4.5 is a flexible all-rounder that’s particularly attractive for iterative anime art direction thanks to its image-to-image editing capabilities and broad style coverage.

Prompt
"Anime-style cel-shaded illustration of a 20s woman with shoulder-length teal hair and big expressive eyes, wearing an oversized cream hoodie and biker shorts, holding her phone at arm’s length for a slightly tilted selfie while glancing near the camera with a casual half-smile. She’s in a small sunlit kitchen making iced coffee (glass cup, milk carton, messy counter, morning light through a window), candid “morning routine” vibe like an Instagram story. Soft natural lighting from the window, subtle phone-camera grain, imperfect framing like real UGC content."

Seedream 4.5 Strengths
- Image-to-image editing for refining anime character designs, outfits, poses, and backgrounds without restarting

Verdict
Pick Nano Banana Pro if your anime assets must look “final” and client-ready—especially when readable text is part of the artwork (logos, Japanese/English titles, warning labels, in-world signage). Its 4K option also helps when your manga linework and cel-shaded edges need to stay crisp at larger sizes.
Pick Seedream 4.5 if your anime workflow is edit-heavy: iterating on a character sheet, adjusting facial features, changing costumes, or reworking backgrounds via image-to-image. For creators who value flexibility and fast revisions, it’s often the smoother day-to-day choice.
