    v10 showcase resolution 832×1536 / no Hires, no ADetailer a little more about v10 below 🔽


    💌

    A small thank you —~

    to those who tinker with me,
    the dreamers,
    the enjoyers :)

    I hope you're having fun exploring v10. 💗

    Animij

    Hey guys,

    u asked abt it. 😊 Now I present to u: Animij ~ retro-modern soft cored. 4 different styles ~ moaarrrrrr possibilities?! 😋

    For a long time I asked myself why merge an anime model ~ when there are a wealth of great models that serve this genre?

    Ur voice is important to me, so I took the plunge. U know me, I like things different, and so Animij spawns as an anime style that may not suit everyone's taste ~ but maybe urs?

    Animij is coming

    • soft

    • drawn

    • vibrant

    • retro touched

    • with a touch of eroticism

    • minimalistic, but detailed

    • and full of emotions

    Tasty for more? Feel free to play around ~ every version comes with her own playground ☺


    💌 NEW


    ✦ Version 10 ~ Core ID

    💙 Animij is an ID model.

    What does that mean?

    💙Animij has character ;)

    • clear subject separation
    • soft isofocus / gentle background falloff

    • light defines form
    • soft-gloss skin highlights
    • clean, controlled speculars

    • color interaction (warm ↔ cool)
    • background supports subjects

    • playful / confident posing
    • slight perspective presence

    • restrained, accessible expressions
    • calm / soft / slightly playful emotion

    • clean edges + soft rendering balance
    • semi-anime aesthetic

    • lighting with behavior
    • flexible character identity

    💙 v10 was created from a feeling of gratitude.

    So many heartwarming words touched me.

    …they stayed.

    This is how v10 emerged ☺

    For this moment ~ I’m a little quieter in words

    So I let the images speak.

    I hope you enjoy.

    —~ Reij ♥


    Reij's Animij v10 Sweetspots

    This is how I personally like to use Animij v10.


    UniPC Karras

    • 24–28 steps

    • CFG 5.0–5.5

    • 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

    clean / balanced / soft finish


    DPM++ 2S a Karras

    • 24–28 steps

    • CFG 5.0–5.3

    • 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

    more punch / stronger contrast / more energy


    DPM++ 2M Karras

    • 26–30 steps

    • CFG 5.1–5.6

    • 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

    stable / clean / slightly sharper


    Euler a

    • 20–24 steps

    • CFG 5.5–6.5

    • 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

    more playful / more variation


    ✦ Version 9

    "Sparks Found in the Space Inbetween Shadows"

    hey friends, ☺

    i’m not a fan of comparisons, but what stands out with v9 is that it works both with various quality tags and negative prompts ~ and also without them.

    Adetailer? optional.
    in some showcase images i simply didn’t use it ^^

    hires, i remain a fan of upscaling, just to give the model more room to unfold. but the model can be used without it.

    steps? i prefer around 40, but 20 have their own charm too. entirely up to your taste ^^

    for different hardware, whether onsite or local. i’ll only be able to test onsite later, so it was important to me to try the model locally first with smaller settings :)

    sampler? feel free to experiment ~ currently i’m using Euler a and DPM++ 2M Karras.

    ✅ ladies? yes
    ✅ gentlemen? yes

    ✅ 🥵 nsfw? yes
    ✅ 🦊 furry? yes

    i love it ♥
    i hope you enjoy the new playground just as much :)

    with ♥ Reij

    ✦ Version 1.2

    hey friends,
    your feedback is important to me ☺

    That's why there is now the first Animij update ^-^
    v1.2 retains the style of v1, is a little more refined in the rendering and spawns with more options to use quality tags or leave them out to suit your taste ☺

    I hope you have a lot of fun being creative

    Like the previous versions of Animij, v6 is a separate model, not an update ☺

    ~ blending anime, semi-realistic, and comic-inspired elements.


    ⚠️

    ♥ settings:

    🛠️ General settings I like to use: Euler a, 30+ steps, and a resolution around 832 × 1216. But of course ~ u’re warmly invited to be creative here too! 🌸✨

    During merging, special care was taken so you don’t need any quality tags for great results ~ and u can even leave out the negative prompt if u like.

    Just create the way u love 💖

    Most importantly: I want to give both prompt pros and new creative AI minds the same freedom to explore – just prompt whatever comes to mind and let the magic happen 💖


    I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results ♥ best regards Reij


    Version 5

    hey friends ☺

    V5 spawns soft kissed by V1 ~ not back to the roots but with retro shine and velvety soft ~ comes with more freedom in the quality prompt design ~ more user-friendly for beginners and prompt professionals, whether realism or toon, V5 stays true to her style.

    I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results

    Regarding the quality tags, u are cordially invited to let off steam creatively or to give more freedom ~ according to ur taste ☺


    Version 4

    from minimalist to fine details ~ ur prompt, ur fantasy ~ remains anime-based even with realistic attention. Through self-determined prompting more play in style variations: from matt to bright, accentuated or rich in detail, there is always a touch of detail, whether as a classic 2D or with more depth.

    bad quality, worst quality, lowres, jpeg artifacts, bad anatomy, signature, watermark, censored


    Version 3 ~ drawn symbiosis

    v3 is the most drawn version so far. The focus is on the connection between AI and creative intuition ~ a quiet, painterly collaboration.

    Born digital, but with the spirit of analogue: Every stroke appears as if it were drawn by hand ~ clear, accentuated, deliberately placed. It's not paper, but a canvas. Not a brush, but still a brush stroke.

    v3 brings the “Drawn Touch” back to the fore ~ as a homage to drawing itself and as an expression of a new aesthetic: where AI does not replace, but accompanies.


    The Art of Animij ~ where details speak

    In Animij, details whisper of emotion ~ a stroke of storytelling. Eyes shimmer with depth, reflecting unspoken dreams. Light and shadow dance across soft gradients, giving each face a warmth that feels almost alive.

    The magic lies in the small things: the delicate blush of a cheek, the glint of light on a ring, the way colors breathe with life. Nothing is static~ every detail wanna invite u: wanna come deeper? making each piece feel like a moment suspended between fantasy and reality.

    Wanna look closer? The story is in the details.

    I really enjoy V6! Something about it really harkens back to V1 and V2. It dials back the 2.5D and has a much more anime feel. If you are a fan of V1 + V2 you'll really like this one. For me, V4 + V5 felt like different models. But this one is a return to form in the best way.

    Since today only 100 models can be used on site.
    I currently only have 3 usable, maybe there will be one you like until it can be used again :)

    At current prices, a model costs just under 26k+ per week, as of today.

    I ask for your understanding that I can't make this possible every week :I

    best regards

    @reijlita thanks for replying. Hey I totally understand what u meant. yellow buzz ain't free. I'm broke too otherwise I wouldn't generate it onsite. Will this be available next week? It seems like animij is your top 2 most downloaded checkpoint.

    @jiwac41597330 I really like Animij myself.

    If I'm honest, I only saw today that there were only 100 spaces available for models and I was pretty shocked at the prices.

    If things normalize a bit, I'll be happy to bid on it again, but 26 k isn't a small amount :x

    I am happy u like Animij.

    As of today, only 100 models can be used on site. Putting a model on the site for a week currently costs a creator at least 26,000 buzz.

    I have no influence on that. That's why I ask for your understanding, I myself can't offer 26 k buzz for every model every week.

    There is an article that explains the auction system in detail.

    I am grateful for everyone who supports me in offering a model for a week on the site. However, 26k buzz is a lot.

    I don't earn any money with AI art. I can't pay for every model every week at the current prices as places are limited.

    @reijlita Well said!

    I wonder how many people think the creators are being greedy with the bid system. It is not like that at all.

    I wish I had the buzz to support all your models. You do amazing work on here, and I appreciate all of your effort!

    XDarkXThanatosXOct 18, 2025· 1 reaction

    @reijlita Buzz is a Civitai charging system? Well, that's lame as hell. I thought this site was like the nexusmods of Ai, and buzz was popularity to have it featured with cool borders and stuff...Guess I should read up on it...

    First of all, thanks! I really love all your models.

    Well,
    recently I was testing animij for the first time and I am struggling to generate male characters, even with LoRAs. Is this inherently to the model? I mean:

    - "1boy" don't mean anything here?
    - I was doing "1boy, brock \(pokemon\), solo" or "1boy, brock_(pokemon), solo" but it never outputs brock only boys with many feminine characteristics even with "masculine" or similar in the prompt.
    - when I used a LoRA for the character Brock I could generate Brock but still with some twink or afeminated look.

    This is not a complain or anything, just a question, because if it is impossible to generate an image of a masculine solo guy it would be good to know, that way I can stop trying to do something I can't do haha

    https://civitai.com/posts/23025845

    Seems very much possible, with both V6 and V1.2

    dystopicaleOct 3, 2025· 1 reaction

    @Mescalamba yes, it does :) not exactly as I wanted but I could make it work without LoRA, which is great <3 but I think the model may have some bias (all models do). I can generate excellent images with Animij except solo masculine guys, which is ok since there are great models which focus on this :)

    But yes, it is possible.

    And, like I said, it wasn't a complain or critic, but just a question. But people will downvote anyway hahahahah

    MescalambaOct 3, 2025· 1 reaction

    @dystoipa How much masculine you need it to be? Just use words that define it indirectly. Using "masculine" implies for most models "female with masculine traits", which is what you dont want. Its bit like "photorealistic" for majority of models and CLIP means "artwork in photorealistic style", not actually photo real. Yet users use it so much, some checkpoints just use it too these days. :D

    Add more weight to "muscular", "abs" and so on. Maybe add "mature, adult" to it with some extra weight. Use some AI to help you with prompt.

    If you want him to look more like Brock, (Brock from Pokemon series, brock \pokemon\:1.1), and change weight to 1.3 or more. Not sure it works here on Civitai, but for sure does in ComfyUI. Altho image does look rather different there, so I would say Forge is preferable (as Reijlita uses that, cant match look in ComfyUI, would need to do more research).

    I would say it can produce pretty manly males, if user wants to. In this case I would say its more about prompt than model itself.

    So if you're interested, if it works, you're welcome to try it out this week :)

    However, I bid on v6, I don't know if you meant that version. This is most similar to v1 only more current. I'm currently tinkering again :)

    I hope, either way, you have fun being creative.

    The last few times I unfortunately took minuses with Animij, but maybe I can take a few pictures myself :) and enjoy the moment ♥

    @moodlune The auction system is always for one week.

    So we bid every week to get one place out of the 100 possible for a week.

    after the week we offer again for one new week.

    That's why I say I can't pay 30k per week per model :I That's a lot for me too, especially since there are only 100 spaces and other people also like to see their models on the site :)

    There was an attempt once, but given the abundance of models, there was probably a cost issue regarding servers etc. I don't know anything about that, but I can understand.

    I'm just grateful that it's even possible^^ a few months ago it was just a dream :)

    Oh, I'll just generate a few images myself. Maybe I'll use the opportunity to make videos with Animij :)

    currently working on v1.2. So it might be interesting for me too to see what is now possible with v6 :) and what else I can tinker with :)

    So don't have a bad conscience, I hope you have fun then :)

    Thank you very much, generally I don't like new versions that have nothing to do with the original versions because they replace the original versions with something that has nothing to do with them anymore. might as well just create a new checkpoint with a new name so that the others don't disappear?
    It's like the items in League of Legends if you want. Sometimes they are modified to such an item that they look nothing like what they were originally, at this level it is better to recreate an item with a new logo and a new name rather than sacrificing an already existing item? (I don't know if you understood what I meant, I made a fake example, but it's not easy to express yourself via Google Translate sometimes)

    @moodlune I understand what you mean. Animij was originally conceived as an idea to create new styles that didn't exist yet.

    That's why I haven't done one in a long time ^^ because anime is anime ^^ and even though there are many styles, you don't want to copy one :D

    Looking back, it might have made more sense to create different models, because basically all Animij versions, even if they are similar, have their own look - I agree with you.

    I personally really like the look of v1.

    But probably also because it's my first animebaby^^ also my own anime look.

    Nowadays I'm just trying to make sure that you don't "have to" use quality tags and I'm doing a lot of tinkering because there can be differences on site and locally, especially depending on the hardware.

    Here I just want to create a playground for as many different tastes as possible with different options.

    I once offered all versions of animij, but unfortunately that was hard minus :D then I left it :I

    I would also offer v1 again, but I personally don't like it that much without quality tags :D That's why I'm trying to get there.

    Unfortunately, we cannot split the models later after uploading

    ah and I have another question too, you seem to know a lot about it then. do you have any information on the next features of the site or when there will be changes? I suppose that the auction system will soon disappear and that it is only a temporary solution, I also imagine that automatic1111 will be changed as they have already tried to do? and I also imagine that there will be manual "installation" tools etc. do you have any information about this or the future of civitai?

    Since I use your checkpoint a lot, I also tried many other of your creations, and recently I tried minji to try to recreate a little animiji, it was impossible. Then out of curiosity I also tested other of your creations, they are all of good quality but well...

    @moodlune oh, I can only speculate ^^

    But I hope that Civitai remains a safe spot for us for a long time :)

    Personally, for me it is also the first page related to AI art that I came into contact with.

    I was a gamer before ^^ so I somehow associate Civitai with a kind of first city that you enter^^ where you save your first backport ^^

    Thank you also for the kind words. I'm very happy if you enjoy my models ^^ there are a few of them. ... a few...

    I have to admit, as a gamer, character creation has always been my world, so I love making different styles to give us a lot of space to be creative^^

    until the next game comes along and captivates me :DDD but AI is now more than just a stopover for me, I just love it ♥

    I'm an absolute square fan, ff, nier, but I also love beatemups ^^ tekken, doa, That's how I grew up, well... "grown" up... is a matter of opinion :DDD

    and of course I'm an mmo lover ^^ even if I'm still waiting for THE game ^^ that's why I'm playing reijality now and making my own game while generating images :D it remains fantasy but the feeling is real :D
