Old info from Illustrious ZONE style lora (https://civitai.red/models/2339346/zone-flash-style) which still fits here:

It's a lot but without guide this wont really work

v1.5 is very scuffed and using v1 for Anima Base 1 is better in most cases but swapping characters works better in v1.5. I just couldn't get it to work properly for Anima Base v1 and it's scuffed in many areas. The mere fact that all images have a white background but many generated images in v1.5 have all kinds of weird artifact-y backgrounds says enough. v1 barely had this issue (but others).

I'm really puzzled as to how v1 could perform so much better (except character swapping). I wish the next version will actually finally do everything right.

If anyone here knows how to train such a complex anima lora properly let me know how. I tried so many configs and it just doesn't fully click. I had like 11 different v1.5, tested on most epochs, and the other 10 were still 100x worse than this version. I'm tired of training this for a good while :(

Regarding extra ZONE loras:

Styles: I will train separate style loras for the soft and thick style for Anima. I already have them for Illustrious here: Illustrious ZONE style lora (https://civitai.red/models/2339346/zone-flash-style) I will either make a new model upload or add the anima versions to the illustrious version as new versions.

Single Character+Scene (Swappable?): I'm really thinking about making separate character loras or even separate scene loras where you only have 1 character and their scenes which you can then swap around.

Characters: Natsume 2 is the only one I really really like. Umeko 2 is also pretty neat but HKG5 is alright and Zone-Tan I don't like tbh. So based on that, you can probably guess what loras might happen. There's a Rukia ZONE flash game and I don't count her here as she's not a ZONE original. But: she's one of my favorites in general and I'm planning to create a couple different loras of her in time when I finish other projects (and finally get neme-anima and PanelCleaner running without errors)
