What makes a good Anime video prompt
Strong Anime video prompts name the cinematography explicitly: cel-shaded characters with expressive eyes, dramatic backlight, wind moving hair and clothes, painterly cloud backgrounds, motion lines, sakura petals drifting. The camera move (push, dolly, orbit, lock-off), lighting condition, and slow-motion frame rate are what separates a generic AI clip from a result that feels like real Anime cinematography.
