<h3 id="introduction">Introduction</h3>Trigger word: TTGL (stick it at the start of the prompt). Use character tags to generate the characters looks/voices (optional).If the style doesn't trigger just stick the word "anime" at the end of the prompt. But note that it makes the style change a lot, so I recommend it only as a last resort. Also try different seeds.This is trained for t2v, all samples are such. I haven't tested with i2v so give it a try and let me know.<h3></h3><h3 id="what-is-this-lora">What is this lora?</h3>This lora's purpose is to recreate the style from the anime Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and all the main characters in the show. Or you can just use it for anime style without using the characters. This lora does not only give you the style from the anime, but it's trained on every character from the first season (pre-time skip). I put the trigger words/descriptions at the end of this description. If you put them in the prompt they will trigger and come out (some better than others). The mecha's are not really trained well, you're not gonna be able to prompt them in well from my tests. But it can give other kinds of new original mechas. All the character's voices are also trained (japanese dub). To prompt it say for example : char_yoko says in Japanese "sore wa nan daro?!" (You can also just use english if you want but it wont match voice).I wanted to see if I could LTX 2.3 to actually do anime style. Like not just looks but motion. And for the most part I think I was able to do it finally. It's a little bit over trained and some characters (nia and yoko) bleed into the base a bit too much, but you can get around it by describing in the prompt those parts. Just understand you often get yoko with red hair and nia with blonde hair with women.<h3 id="recommended-settings">Recommended Settings</h3>I highly recommend you use 2-pass with distill on 0.5 str and use 50FPS. Otherwise you will get motion distortion. You still get it with these settings but reduced by a lot more. Anime just doesn't play with LTX. I hope they train the base model on lots of anime in the next version. Use my example workflow for reference if you wanna recreate using my same settings. If anyone has better settings for anime in LTX let me know. Also this style lora will work with other loras but maybe reduce strength on those and keep this on 1 strength.<h3 id="training">Training</h3>My old wan gurren lagann dataset was pretty much useless for LTX. It was 16fps and the clips were too short. And it relied on image dataset to teach style. I did an initial test training with it when LTX 2.0 first came out and the result was not great. This time I completely redid from 0 this dataset. I used pyscene to split the first season and the music videos. I set the max for each scene 121 frames. More than 70% of the dataset is around 121 frames each, then I have a bunch of 30-90ish frame clips. The long clips are there to teach voice and motion, and the short are more for style and character likeness. It was trained using my captioning tool with gemini. The captioning part was a bit annoying because google has added limits for paying customers. Openrouter doesn't have the limits, but it costs more. I just spent more on openrouter this time and used their api with my caption tool with gemini 3.1 preview since it can understand video + sound (and it does whole videos not just set frames from the video). I am interested to test gemma4 next time.The dataset was a bit heavy on Yoko and Nia. If I wanted to do this as a proper style lora, I would reduce their data by a lot. I think next I will try a generic anime style lora with lots of different characters from various shows. I will include some sample data and my config files in a zip in the "dataset" downloads for reference.I trained on 832x480 resolution with target fps 24.0. And I padded/trimmed frames which didn't fit into LTX's frame bucket size. (gemini can create a script with FFMPEG to do this for you easy). I learned from my dispatch lora to set the LR on the sound to around half of the LR of the video. This allowed the voices to not over train while the video took its time to catchup. Also its rank 64 (thus the 1.2gb file size) since there is a lot to train for.By the way, you can train style very easy on images only. I tried from my wan image dataset and it came out sort of ok. But it didn't have proper anime motion or the look of the show. But I think it has viability in areas outside of anime. 3D, or stopmotion claymotion etc. can be done super quick with image only since I think the base model knows it well enough. The base model doesn't know anime enough.This trained locally to around 45K steps, but I personally like the 40K steps checkpoint too. So I add both here and you can decide which is better. I also added a 34K steps version which I think has less over train issues so it's more stable. I think the 40K doesn't bleed yoko/nia into the generations as much and recommend this the most, but the 45K one seems better for anime motion? It took around 80 hours or so to train this far at around 5 s/it locally on a 5090. It was going at 4.5 s/it for a while but it would sometimes OOM (I guess due to the wattage limits I was setting later on) so I put it to 4 block swap and it was trained on float8. <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/AkaneTendo25/musubi-tuner">I used akanetendo25's musubi fork to train this. Big shout out to him and his excellent implementation of LTX 2.3.</a><h3></h3><h3 id="closing-thoughts">Closing thoughts</h3>I think this was a good chance to learn about how much we can teach LTX 2.3. And I think the base model will need more training on animation and anime (3D / games seems fine). I know some animation can be triggered in base model but I think rick and morty and spongebob etc. are not enough. They need to rip through a ton of anime (they should try...).For the lora's final output, visually its still not as good as Wan 2.1 or 2.2. But it kind feels like somewhere in the middle of wan 5b and wan 2.2. Sometimes you have some really bad interaction but one little golden nugget of great animation and anatomy comes out. And there is a feeling that at some point in the future we can get there consistently. I don't wanna give up on trying to get anime or animation in LTX working, so I hope we can get closer with each attempt. And I know its very easy for this lora to go off the rails. Some hands are bad, sometimes doesn't trigger style, or it just stays motionless for whatever reason. But I think after a few tries and adjustments on prompts/seeds we can get something nice.At the end of the day, this lora isn't going to teach LTX anatomy or fast motion. Try to make prompts that play into the strengths of what the base model can do. Talking scenes especially are great. And the anime has lots of extreme close ups of people talking actually when you take it apart scene by scene.<h3 id="character-triggers">Character triggers</h3>Note: Take these with a grain of a salt. I fed the captions into google ai studio and it got really lazy. And I couldn't coax it to properly do it IMO, the latest gemini models suck ass.
