Create Professional-Quality Anime Art with AI: Guide to the Best Sites & Generators

The video begins with an introduction to the host and a recap of a previous video featuring Jack, an AI news expert. The host then transitions into the main topic of the video, which is a review and comparison of four different AI text-to-image generators, focusing on their effectiveness in creating anime-style images. The first generator discussed is 'hilera', which is a new model that has gained some attention. The host mentions that they will be looking at both free and paid models and will be testing them with various prompts to see which one is the most suitable for viewers who are fans of anime.

The host delves into the specifics of the 'hilera' model, discussing its features such as different size options, the number of images that can be generated at once, and the various settings available for users to tweak their outputs. The conversation takes a turn as they test the model with a prompt featuring Obama building a gaming PC. The results are mixed, with some images resembling Obama and others veering towards anime-style but failing to capture the essence of the prompt. The host also notes that 'hilera' seems to have a tendency to generate more feminine characters, even when not prompted for it.

The video continues with the host and Jack experimenting with different prompts, such as 'Rengoku eating Ramen' and 'Mikasa from Attack on Titan'. The results from 'hilera' are varied, with some images capturing the requested scenes and characters better than others. The host points out that while 'hilera' may not always accurately represent the characters, it does offer a good level of detail and background elements. They also compare 'hilera' to another model, 'Novel AI', noting that Novel AI seems to produce more accurate character representations, although 'hilera' still holds its ground in terms of detail and coherence.

The host compares 'hilera' to other AI models, such as 'Novel AI' and 'Anything V3', discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each. 'Novel AI' is noted for its subscription model and its ability to produce more accurate character representations, while 'Anything V3' is mentioned as a free, albeit slower and less accurate, option. The conversation also touches on the potential of 'hilera' as a 'waifu generator' due to its tendency to create more feminine characters. The host concludes that 'hilera' might not be the best all-around anime generator, but it shows promise in specific areas, particularly for those interested in generating waifu-style images.

The host introduces 'Niji Journey', a model made in collaboration with 'Mid Journey', and discusses its subscription model which includes access to both services. The conversation revolves around the model's ability to generate detailed and dynamic images, although it's noted that it doesn't always adhere strictly to the anime style. The host tests 'Niji Journey' with various prompts, including 'Obama building a gaming PC' and 'Jotaro', and finds that while it doesn't always produce traditionally anime-style images, it does offer a unique and diverse range of outputs. The model is praised for its character recognition and quality of images, making it a good option for those looking for a more dynamic and less traditional anime art style.

In the final part of the video, the host wraps up the discussion on AI art generators by summarizing the key points and offering recommendations based on the tests conducted. 'Hilera' is recommended for those interested in creating waifu-style images, while 'Niji Journey' is suggested for its dynamic capabilities and character recognition. 'Novel AI' is noted as a middle ground, offering a blend of the two. The host humorously warns viewers about the potential for generating unexpected or 'cursed' images with these tools, and encourages viewers to explore the different models to find the one that best suits their needs.
