Anime and stylised looks across the tiers

Quick answer: The look is a project setting chosen in step 1 — a visual-style preset, or your own on a paid plan — and every tier renders it: the image tiers draw the sheets in that style, the video tiers keep the shots in it. Switching tiers does not switch styles. What tiers change is resolution, price and how much of a long description they read; for stylised projects the two things that go wrong are a style picked in a hurry — it cannot be changed once you continue — and a face too generic to hold across shots.

Choosing the visual style walks through the presets and the three style axes.

Where the style lives

In the project, set in step 1 before the script is read: a visual-style preset (anime, cel-shaded, 3D, painterly, live-action and more) plus a scene style and a costume style. The character sheets, location images and every video segment inherit it. There is no per-tier style; a tier renders whatever style the project has.

What the image tiers change

Tier	On a stylised project
Qwen-Image 3.0 / Pro	Follows the preset; keep the identity features first in the description
SeedDream 5.0 Pro / Lite	2K sheets in the style; reads long descriptions to the end

What the video tiers change

Nothing about the style itself. Wan, Seedance and H3 tiers all keep the project’s look; they differ in segment length, resolution, references and price, exactly as on a live-action project. A flat, cel-shaded look survives 480P better than a painterly one with fine texture, which is a reason to draft stylised projects on the cheapest tier and finish only the keepers.

Where stylised projects go wrong

Style picked in a hurry. The visual style is fixed once you continue from Step 1 and shapes every sheet and clip; to try another, start a new project with the same script. Generic faces. Anime faces without a distinguishing feature drift between shots; give each character one unmistakable trait in the description. Mixed axes. A period costume style with a modern scene style reads as a mistake; set all three axes together.

FAQ

Is there an anime video tier?

No. Anime is a project style; every video tier renders it.

Can I change the style after generating?

No. The visual style is fixed once you continue from Step 1; for another style, start a new project with the same script.

Which image tier is best for anime sheets?

The default and Pro Qwen tiers follow the presets well; SeedDream Pro for 2K.

Does a stylised project cost less?

No; prices are per sheet and per second regardless of style.

Do the video tiers handle 3D styles?

Yes, as a project style, on any tier.

Set the style once, then pick tiers by price

Choose a visual style in step 1, generate the cast, and draft the first scene on the default tier.
