One of the craziest, most dynamic, stylish and beloved animators in the industry, Hiroyuki Imaishi (今石洋之) is the former key animator & director at Gainax and co-founder of Trigger. Imaishi's work can be seen in several iconic anime, including Kill La Kill, Gurren Lagann, Panty & Stocking, Dead Leaves, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, FLCL and more. To me, when I think of pure, distilled ANIME, I think of Imaishi.

Overly stylized works like Panty & Stocking were avoided so as not to interfere with his "inherent" style, more visible in works like Kill La Kill and his artbook drawings.

This lora is especially well-suited to energetic, action-packed compositions and crazy poses. It handles male and female characters well. All in all, it's a hell of a lot of fun!

USE

The main trigger for the lora is @1ma1sh1.

Do what you want with it, but my advice is to turn up the CRAZY. Weights above 1.0 can work well since you want the style to be a bit out-there and unsubtle. The lora works well with tags like these:

action, foreshortening, incoming attack, sketch, thick lineart, speed lines, action lines, emphasis lines, 

You can use the usual Anima quality tags if you like the effect, but I do find they get in the way of Imaishi's more "cartoonish" style so I recommend trying without as well.

I am not yet familiar with different Anima models so I cannot recommend one in particular; examples just use WAI-Anima. I'm currently having some success with Element 7's Void Spirit model. If you know of an appropriate model for this sort of style, leave a comment!

As usual, I hope you enjoy this lora and if you have, please consider dropping a gen or two below. It helps me keep the models coming! Lots of cool ideas still on deck!

Cheers!
