AniBlend 55/45 moves past the midpoint: stronger saturation, warmer light and more surface detail, with anime drawing still dominant.[Recipe] Weighted merge on UNet only: 0.55 x Nova Anime XL IL v19.0 + 0.45 x Nova Orange XL REX v1.0. VAE and text encoders inherited from Nova Anime. fp16 safetensors, no baked LoRA.[Why this direction] This series is a straight weighted blend rather than a difference merge: Nova Anime supplies drawing, linework and composition, Nova Orange supplies saturation, warmth and surface detail. Moving the weights moves the balance between clean anime and rich colour in even steps.[Series] AniBlend IL is one pair of parents at four weight ratios: 75/25, 65/35, 55/45 and 45/55 (Nova Anime / Nova Orange). There is no unstable alpha here, so all four are safe to use and differ only in how far colour and detail are allowed to take over.[Recommended settings] Euler a, 24-28 steps, CFG 5.0-5.5, 832x1216. Hires fix above 1.25x helps skin and fabric; Danbooru-style tags work well.[Known limitations] Above 45% Orange the palette can push warm skin tones and reduce the neutral anime look; text rendering and fine linework are strongest at 75/25.
