How to make AI anime fight scenes

Quick answer: An anime fight that works on screen is a chain of short shots, each with one move: the stance, the charge, the clash, the reaction. In SceneMixer, write each beat as its own shot of two to four seconds, describe energy attacks as light and effect (“a ring of blue fire forms around her fist”), make power-up forms a state of the character, and keep injuries out of close-up. Pick an anime visual style in Step 1 and the whole fight stays in it.

Brief for AI Create: An anime battle episode: two former best friends meet in the final of a sword tournament; one of them is fighting to free her brother, the other to keep a promise she cannot explain; one episode of about two minutes, ending on a broken blade.

The stance[Shot 1] 3s: Wide shot, a stone arena at sunset, crowd in the stands behind. @Aya and @Ren face each other, swords drawn.
The charge[Shot 2] 2s: Low angle. @Aya launches forward, dust kicking up behind her.
The clash[Shot 3] 3s: Close-up, two blades meet; sparks and a ring of light burst outward.
The face[Shot 4] 3s: Close-up on @Ren gritting her teeth. @Ren (strained): You're holding back. (voice: Ren)
The turn[Shot 5] 3s: Medium shot. @Aya's eyes glow gold as she pushes Ren back across the stones.
