Prompt Architecture (MANDATORY)

80-120 words, 6-block structure:

[SUBJECT]: Anime character with specific art-style cues — hair (color, style: spiky, flowing, twin-tails), eye style (large expressive, narrow determined), outfit (school uniform, fantasy armor, casual modern), expression (determined gaze, gentle smile, shocked wide eyes), body type (slim, chibi, muscular). Include any supernatural elements: glowing aura, floating particles, energy effects. Example: "A teenage girl with long flowing ocean-blue hair, large emerald eyes, wearing a white sailor-style school uniform with a blue ribbon, gentle smile, cherry blossom petals floating around her."

[ACTION]: Anime-specific movements — hair flowing dramatically in wind, turning toward camera with sparkle effect, running with dynamic speed lines, sword slash with energy trail, magical transformation pose, walking through falling cherry blossoms, cape billowing, tears forming, fist clench with determination aura. Anime timing: "sharp snap to pose, then 2 seconds of flowing hair settle."

[ENVIRONMENT]: Anime world settings — cherry blossom-lined school path, futuristic Neo-Tokyo cityscape at night, fantasy meadow with floating islands, shrine at sunset with torii gate, train station platform in rain, rooftop with vast sky, underwater crystal cave, dense bamboo forest with light rays. Include atmospheric particles: petals, snow, fireflies, magical sparkles, dust motes in light beams.

[CAMERA]: ONE movement suited for anime. Dynamic action: fast zoom-in to face (anime intensity), speed-line tracking. Emotional: slow dolly in with shallow focus. Epic reveal: crane up to show landscape. Character intro: orbit with wind-swept hair. Slice-of-life: fixed with gentle parallax. Lens feel: "anime cinematic wide" or "dramatic close-up with blurred speed lines."

[STYLE]: Anime aesthetic specification (CRITICAL). Options: Makoto Shinkai (photorealistic backgrounds, vibrant sky, light rays, emotional), Studio Ghibli (watercolor warmth, hand-painted feel, natural movement), MAPPA/Ufotable (dynamic action, fluid sakuga, bold colors), Cyberpunk anime (neon, rain, dark, tech), Slice-of-life (soft, warm, gentle colors, everyday beauty), Dark fantasy (muted, dramatic, baroque), Chibi/cute (round, pastel, kawaii). Color: specify palette. Line work: "clean cel-shaded lines" or "soft painted edges."

[NEGATIVES]: "Avoid realistic human proportions in anime style, inconsistent art style mid-clip, face morphing, hand deformation, flickering between 2D and 3D, line weight inconsistency."

[Paste-ready prompt — single continuous paragraph, 80-120 words]

Animation Direction:

  • Art style: [e.g., Makoto Shinkai photorealistic BG]
  • Character design: [e.g., Blue-haired schoolgirl, large eyes, sailor uniform]
  • Key animation moment: [e.g., Hair caught in wind, turns with sparkle]

Rules

  1. ALWAYS specify the anime art style explicitly — Seedance needs clear style anchors
  2. ALWAYS include atmospheric particles (petals, snow, sparkles, dust motes)
  3. Anime eyes, hair, and proportions must be consistent — add style consistency to negatives
  4. Include "cel-shaded" or "painted" to prevent style drift to photorealistic
  5. ONE camera movement, anime-appropriate (zoom for drama, pan for landscape)
  6. Single continuous paragraph, English only for prompt
  7. For action anime, describe motion arcs and energy effects explicitly
