This comparison looks at Reve and Seedream 4.5 specifically for anime-style characters, manga aesthetics, and cel-shading—including output quality, text handling, editing flexibility, and cost per image.
Anime — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Anime-style cel-shaded illustration of a 20s woman with shoulder-length teal hair and big expressive eyes, wearing an oversized beige hoodie and black biker shorts, holding her phone slightly above eye level for a casual front-camera selfie while glancing at the lens mid-laugh. She’s in a cozy corner café by a window with a half-finished iced latte and an open laptop on the table, natural morning light spilling in with soft shadows and a lived-in, candid “study break” vibe. Include subtle phone-camera perspective distortion, a slightly messy background (menu board blur, people shapes), and an authentic Instagram story feel (not polished or editorial)."

Seedream 4.5 Strengths
- Powerful image-to-image editing for refining anime characters (outfits, hairstyles, expressions) without restarting from scratch
- High-quality output that holds up well for detailed cel-shading, crisp edges, and cleaner gradients at higher resolutions
- Versatile style range—useful for switching between modern anime, retro manga panels, and semi-real anime looks

Verdict
Pick Reve if your main goal is fast, aesthetically strong anime images with dependable text rendering—ideal for creators producing lots of thumbnails, cover art, or manga-style promo graphics on a tighter credit budget.
Pick Seedream 4.5 if your workflow depends on editing and iterative improvements (image-to-image), or if you need higher-resolution anime outputs with more control over revisions—even though it costs more per image.
