Scenario 10: Anime

Coincidentally, Midjourney released the Niji V5 version as I was writing this chapter, so I'll run the prompts below with the -niji 5 parameter.

Various Anime Styles

With the niji 5 model, generated content defaults to an anime style. You can specify country, era, creators in style, or add anime styles - per Midlibrary , Midjourney supports over 120+ anime styles.

I won't list them all here, see my style list or Midlibrary for comprehensive details.

Here are some styles I find nice that the model also supports well (Statue of Liberty for prompt subject):
