Anime Styler

Prompting an anime checkpoint is half danbooru tags and half knowing which sub-genre you actually want. AnimeStyler removes the second half: one dropdown with 49 anime presets - Chibi Style, Magical Girl Transformation, Isekai Adventure, Mecha Anime, Shonen Battle, Ghibli-esque, Vampire Anime, Slice-of-Life Anime - that wraps your subject in the right genre vocabulary and appends a negative that steers away from the wrong ones.

What it actually is

It's one of the per-theme stylers in aegis72/comfyui-styles-all, a preservation clone of azazeal04's removed SDXL Prompt Styler catalog. You feed it a subject, pick a genre, and get two strings back. The Anime menu is hand-written scene-and-genre templates - these aren't generic "anime style" keywords, they're genre-aware: Sports Anime pushes toward energetic athletic framing, Horror Anime toward unsettling atmosphere, Romantic Comedy toward the cutesy-frustrated register.

Text in, text out. It doesn't call a model or an API; it's pure prompt surgery.

The inputs that matter

• text_positive - your subject, e.g. "a tomboy knight, morning training". This gets wrapped by the style template.
• Anime - the 49-option dropdown; None is pass-through.
• log_prompt - defaults on; prints before/after text to the console so you can see what the style added.

Outputs: text_positive (styled) and text_negative (your negative plus the style's, comma-joined). Both are STRING, so wire them into the CLIPTextEncode of whichever anime checkpoint you're running.

Where it fits

Because it only rewrites text, it plays nice with any anime-family model - Illustrious, NoobAI, Pony, or a plain SDXL anime merge - and the KB's prompt-engineering advice applies: on anime checkpoints with real CFG (4–9), the appended negative actually bites. The genre templates are a fast way to keep a consistent feel across a whole batch of character renders, and they're easy to read if you ever want to borrow a phrase for a hand-tuned prompt.

Installing it

ComfyUI Manager (search ComfyUI-styles-all), or:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/aegis72/comfyui-styles-all

Then restart ComfyUI. No requirements.txt, no models to fetch.

Where people get burned

• Not great on Flux. Style-suffix prompting was tuned for SDXL's CLIP encoders; LLM-encoded models barely react to it. On SDXL-lineage checkpoints it's right at home.
• Restart after edits. The menu is built from data/Anime/Anime.json at startup; new or edited styles appear only after a restart.
• Double negatives. The preset appends its own negative to yours. If your prompt is already heavy on negatives, lighten yours.
