Recommended strength:
ZIT: 0.6 to 0.8.
FLUX: 1.0

Short Description
ta86_onitokyo is a retro anime LoRA built around neon Tokyo nights, cinematic nightlife, futuristic transit, emotional city romance, symbolic cyber objects, and bold cel shaded character design.

The style blends a Tokyo like metropolis with 1980s and 1990s anime energy, glowing nightclub color, rain soaked streets, graphic shadows, futuristic vehicles, androids, city landmarks, romance, chase scenes, and iconic neon symbolism.

It works well for portraits, full body characters, androids, biker women, nightclub scenes, city streets, rainy alleys, futuristic vehicles, metro stations, Tokyo inspired landmarks, lucky cat holograms, neon signs, crystal objects, interface screens, and cinematic romance scenes.

Triggerwords
ta86_onitokyo, retro anime, neon megacity, cel shading, nightclub glow, tokyo nightlife, neon city, rainy street, cyber transit, android portrait, biker fashion, neon romance, lucky cat hologram, crystal lights, cyber interface, iconic city object

The main trigger "ta86_onitokyo" and "retro anime" should be placed at the beginning of the prompt.
For best results, keep the style triggers close to the subject or scene description.
And keep in mind if you add too many styles, especially photorealistic ZIT will overwrite the LoRA for sure ;)

If you don't like long descriptions/the idea beind it. Stop reading here ;)

Prompting Tip (Flux/ZIT)
Describe the anime look and the scene clearly as a full caption, not only as tags.

Good wording:

Hard cel shaded shadows and bold black outlines shape the face, hair, clothing, and background signs.

Wet pavement reflects magenta, cyan, violet, green, and orange neon across the street.

The character remains sharply readable against a blurred Tokyo like neon skyline.

The scene feels like a cinematic retro anime music video moment with nightclub glow and strong urban atmosphere.

Use one main subject per image when possible, especially for training prompts.

Good Prompt Structure
ta86_onitokyo, retro anime, neon megacity, cel shading, nightclub glow, subject, setting, camera angle, lighting, color palette, key materials, mood, graphic anime style details

Suggested Strength
0.6 to 0.8 for general use.
0.8 to 1.0 for stronger retro anime, heavier neon, and more obvious city style.
Lower strength can help when combining with character LoRAs or realistic models.

Avoid
Overcrowded scenes, too many subjects at once, purely realistic rendering, random cyberpunk clutter, unreadable faces, excessive interface overlays, messy text, chaotic explosions, uncontrolled motion blur, flat daylight city scenes, and symbols that overpower the main subject.
