    Kirazuri (Anima)

    Kirazuri (Anima) is a full fine-tune of the Anima Base v1.0 model by CircleStone Labs focused on several goals:

    • Learn new concepts/styles/characters past the base model dataset cutoff of 2025 September

    • Enhance the model aesthetic guided by manually applied quality, aesthetic, and style tagging

    • Improve rendering and understanding of fine-details through high-resolution training for 1024^2, 1280^2, and 1536^2 resolutions

    Version 4.0 (Latest)

    For in-depth details of training and tooling, see:

    Installing and running

    Workflow:

    Reference the anima base instructions. The model is natively supported in ComfyUI. The above image contains a workflow; you can open it in ComfyUI or drag-and-drop to get the workflow.

    Note: Most preview images on the model card additionally use the custom comfyui-prompt-control node for schedule prompting syntax to mix concepts i.e. [word1|word2]
    This custom node is entirely optional but required to exactly recreate the outputs in ComfyUI.

    The model files go in their respective folders inside your model directory:

    Quantizations

    Int8 supported with latest ComfyUI:

    Distillations

    4 Step CFG 1 Turbo LoRA distilled with DP-DMD - diversity-preserved few-step distillation:

    Generation Settings

    Trained in mixed resolutions for the majority of training, and finished with dedicated high resolution training.

    Previews are generated mostly at 1280^2 e.g. 1520x1040 or 1536^2 e.g. 1248x1824 resolutions.

    30-50 steps, CFG 4-5.

    Same samplers as recommended for the base model work, I like to use:

    • er_sde: the recommended default for 30-50 steps.

    • sa_solver_pece: can converge with good detail in 15-20 steps.

    [Optional] ComfyUI-Autocomplete-Plus prompt input assistance

    An optional file danbooru_tags_kirazuri_4.txt is included to provide prompt tag autocomplete.

    This file contains metadata that is derived from public sources for prompt assistance only, and is intended to be used with the ComfyUI-Autocomplete-Plus extension.

    Rename the file to danbooru_tags_kirazuri_4.csv and place it in your ComfyUI/custom_nodes/comfyui-autocomplete-plus/data directory.

    You should see suggestions when writing comma separated tags in ComfyUI:

    Prompting

    Like the base model, this model is trained on booru-style tags, natural language captions, and combinations of tags and captions.

    Tag order

    [quality/meta/safety tags] [character] [series] [artist] [1girl/1boy/1other etc] [general tags]

    Mostly the same order as the base model, only the [1girl/1boy/other etc] groups position is towards the end in this models dataset.

    [quality/meta/safety tags] [character] [series] [artist] tag groups are also not shuffled, so their order may have some influence on generations.

    Quality and Aesthetic tags

    Human score based: masterpiece, best quality, very aesthetic, aesthetic

    The very aesthetic and aesthetic tags are where this model diverges from the base, with the intent these can be used to guide the model toward a different aesthetic - a kind of house model bias.

    Meta tags

    absurdres, official art, etc

    Styles

    painterly, chiaroscuro, ligne claire, flat color, no lineart, blending, etc

    traditional media, oil painting \(medium\), watercolor \(medium\), etc

    Known Limitations & Issues:

    Some concept bleeding and instability is noticeable when using short prompts, especially tag-only prompts.

    Longer tag strings and natural language prompts describing the image in detail should help with this.

    This reflects how the model was trained with a combination of natural language and tags.

    Description

    Kirazuri (Anima) 4.0 Training Diary

    This version is trained from the Stage 1 checkpoint of version 3.0, repeating only the Stage 2 training with several differences:

    - Updated dataset with cutoff of 29/06/2026

    - Revised training hyper-parameters

    - Masked training

    These changes aim to:

    - Introduce new knowledge to the model

    - Improve stability for anatomy and complex compositions

    While maintaining the models original goals to:

    - Learn new concepts/styles/characters past the base model dataset cutoff of 2025 September

    - Enhance the model aesthetic guided by manually applied quality, aesthetic, and style tagging

    - Improve rendering and understanding of fine-details through high-resolution training up to 1536^2

    Does the Anima Turbo LoRA works with v4.0? It doesn't seem to work with v3.0

    Same as v3.0, the Anima Turbo LoRA is about half as effective.
    It can still be used with a CFG of 2 and 12 steps though, v4.0 example: https://civitai.red/posts/29686966

    Best Anima finetune ever! Love this!

    Well, to be honest, I didn't see any significant optimization. In my opinion, the very special advantage of your model is that it has some minor style adjustments. Your fine-tuning of the style has a very good effect on the Lora effect. It makes the originally plain style slightly more delicate and gentle, and makes your mod stand out uniquely among the mods with generally plain styles in Anima. However, in the new 4.0 version, this advantage has disappeared. Although I don't want to influence your future decision-making, I sincerely hope you can maintain this feature. Thank you very much.

    Hello, thanks for sharing that
    A difference between compatibility with LoRA trained on the Anima Base 1 model from version 3.0 to 4.0 might be down to the difference in how far the checkpoints had diverged from the base during training; version 4.0 received ~500,000 more samples than version 3.0.

    I'm not sure if I would prioritize LoRA compatibility - it is expected that they should work best with the model they are trained on - but better compatibility with the Anima Base 1 LoRA's might be achieved by using a merge of this model with it.
