I highly recommend using the ADetailer extension for better faces and eyes. The Anima iteration of this checkpoint is a bit of a departure from the Illustrious v2, going for a slightly less flat style overall, but keeping a colorful, sharp 2D anime style for faces while getting a little painterly side to bodies and backgrounds, as well as shading. Just like with other Anima based checkpoints, artist styles work, and natural language to enhance your prompts or add text also works.

Thanks to @ComradeAnanas, @Manityro, and @justTNP for helping create this checkpoint.

I highly recommend using the ADetailer extension for better faces and eyes.

For v2, I merged v1 with some NoobAI models, @GarejiSama's AdAstra and @Manityro's Vermilion, making v2 much more compatible with NoobAI based LoRAs. The baked in VAE is Anzhc's, which you can get here, gives a much sharper look to images, reduced noise, and makes colors less bland overall. LustrousMix v2 generations are more colorful than v1's, with more contrast and sharpness. There is a slight art style change as well, with more mature faces.

Hope you enjoy!
