    💌 NEW: Animij AI & S1

    Curious...

    what Animij

    might become?

    ...

    I am.

    Very much.

    Animij AI traces its lineage back to Anima base-v1.0 (by @circlestone_labs). Through merges and LoRAs by @reijlita, the model gradually evolved into Animij AI. Built upon the unpublished ReijLUSTRated development line, Animij AI intertwines selected elements from Illustrij~ma while preserving its Anima heritage. Animij AI marks a new beginning, a creative playground where my own visual handwriting, artistic sensibilities, creative expression, and original creations continue to shape a next generation of Animij.

    ANIMIJ S1 traces its roots to the Anima family by @circlestone_labs. Emerging from SYNTONIJ by @reijlita, it continues with a kind intention:

    Animij explores presence. Every decision throughout its evolution was guided by the desire to create characters that feel expressive, grounded and unmistakably themselves.

    Built upon the SYNTONIJ baseline and shaped through a sequence of carefully evolved LoRAs and merges, Animij S1 gradually developed its own visual language~where anime, painterly rendering, comic-inspired linework, semi-realistic influences and deliberate simplicity paint in harmony.

    Animij

    Hey guys,

    u asked abt it. 😊 Now I present to u: Animij ~ retro-modern soft cored. 4 different styles ~ moaarrrrrr possibilities?! 😋

    For a long time I asked myself why merge an anime model ~ when there are a wealth of great models that serve this genre?

    Ur voice is important to me, so I took the plunge. U know me, I like things different, and so Animij spawns as an anime style that may not suit everyone's taste ~ but maybe urs?

    Animij is coming

    • soft

    • drawn

    • vibrant

    • retro touched

    • with a touch of eroticism

    • minimalistic, but detailed

    • and full of emotions

    Tasty for more? Feel free to play around ~ every version comes with her own playground ☺


    ✦ Version 10 ~ Core ID

    💙 Animij is an ID model.

    What does that mean?

    💙Animij has character ;)

    • clear subject separation
    • soft isofocus / gentle background falloff

    • light defines form
    • soft-gloss skin highlights
    • clean, controlled speculars

    • color interaction (warm ↔ cool)
    • background supports subjects

    • playful / confident posing
    • slight perspective presence

    • restrained, accessible expressions
    • calm / soft / slightly playful emotion

    • clean edges + soft rendering balance
    • semi-anime aesthetic

    • lighting with behavior
    • flexible character identity

    💙 v10 was created from a feeling of gratitude.

    So many heartwarming words touched me.

    …they stayed.

    This is how v10 emerged ☺

    For this moment ~ I’m a little quieter in words

    So I let the images speak.

    I hope you enjoy.

    —~ Reij ♥


    Reij's Animij v10 Sweetspots

    This is how I personally like to use Animij v10.


    UniPC Karras

    • 24–28 steps

    • CFG 5.0–5.5

    • 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

    clean / balanced / soft finish


    DPM++ 2S a Karras

    • 24–28 steps

    • CFG 5.0–5.3

    • 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

    more punch / stronger contrast / more energy


    DPM++ 2M Karras

    • 26–30 steps

    • CFG 5.1–5.6

    • 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

    stable / clean / slightly sharper


    Euler a

    • 20–24 steps

    • CFG 5.5–6.5

    • 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

    more playful / more variation


    ✦ Version 9

    "Sparks Found in the Space Inbetween Shadows"

    hey friends, ☺

    i’m not a fan of comparisons, but what stands out with v9 is that it works both with various quality tags and negative prompts ~ and also without them.

    Adetailer? optional.
    in some showcase images i simply didn’t use it ^^

    hires, i remain a fan of upscaling, just to give the model more room to unfold. but the model can be used without it.

    steps? i prefer around 40, but 20 have their own charm too. entirely up to your taste ^^

    for different hardware, whether onsite or local. i’ll only be able to test onsite later, so it was important to me to try the model locally first with smaller settings :)

    sampler? feel free to experiment ~ currently i’m using Euler a and DPM++ 2M Karras.

    ✅ ladies? yes
    ✅ gentlemen? yes

    ✅ 🥵 nsfw? yes
    ✅ 🦊 furry? yes

    i love it ♥
    i hope you enjoy the new playground just as much :)

    with ♥ Reij

    ✦ Version 1.2

    hey friends,
    your feedback is important to me ☺

    That's why there is now the first Animij update ^-^
    v1.2 retains the style of v1, is a little more refined in the rendering and spawns with more options to use quality tags or leave them out to suit your taste ☺

    I hope you have a lot of fun being creative
    with ♥ Reij

    Like the previous versions of Animij, v6 is a separate model, not an update ☺

    ~ blending anime, semi-realistic, and comic-inspired elements.


    ⚠️

    ♥ settings:

    🛠️ General settings I like to use: Euler a, 30+ steps, and a resolution around 832 × 1216. But of course ~ u’re warmly invited to be creative here too! 🌸✨

    During merging, special care was taken so you don’t need any quality tags for great results ~ and u can even leave out the negative prompt if u like.

    Just create the way u love 💖

    Most importantly: I want to give both prompt pros and new creative AI minds the same freedom to explore – just prompt whatever comes to mind and let the magic happen 💖


    I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results ♥ best regards Reij


    Version 5

    hey friends ☺

    V5 spawns soft kissed by V1 ~ not back to the roots but with retro shine and velvety soft ~ comes with more freedom in the quality prompt design ~ more user-friendly for beginners and prompt professionals, whether realism or toon, V5 stays true to her style.

    I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results

    with ~♥ Reij


    ♥ setting examples V5

    -prompt:

    Regarding the quality tags, u are cordially invited to let off steam creatively or to give more freedom ~ according to ur taste ☺


    Version 4

    from minimalist to fine details ~ ur prompt, ur fantasy ~ remains anime-based even with realistic attention. Through self-determined prompting more play in style variations: from matt to bright, accentuated or rich in detail, there is always a touch of detail, whether as a classic 2D or with more depth.

    I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur creations

    +prompt for more depth:

    masterpiece, best quality, gradient, realistic skin, depth of field,

    -prompt

    bad quality, worst quality, lowres, jpeg artifacts, bad anatomy, signature, watermark, censored


    Version 3 ~ drawn symbiosis

    v3 is the most drawn version so far. The focus is on the connection between AI and creative intuition ~ a quiet, painterly collaboration.

    Born digital, but with the spirit of analogue: Every stroke appears as if it were drawn by hand ~ clear, accentuated, deliberately placed. It's not paper, but a canvas. Not a brush, but still a brush stroke.

    v3 brings the “Drawn Touch” back to the fore ~ as a homage to drawing itself and as an expression of a new aesthetic: where AI does not replace, but accompanies.


    The Art of Animij ~ where details speak

    In Animij, details whisper of emotion ~ a stroke of storytelling. Eyes shimmer with depth, reflecting unspoken dreams. Light and shadow dance across soft gradients, giving each face a warmth that feels almost alive.

    The magic lies in the small things: the delicate blush of a cheek, the glint of light on a ring, the way colors breathe with life. Nothing is static~ every detail wanna invite u: wanna come deeper? making each piece feel like a moment suspended between fantasy and reality.

    Wanna look closer? The story is in the details.

    I'm still waiting for v1

    How do I formulate this as neutrally as possible?

    I don't make a dime from AI art. It's a hobby and I love creating and giving new scope for the creative minds among us.

    Basically, for most of the models I enable for on site generations, I do minus every week. I'm grateful to anyone who helps me, but since I know that in most cases it's a +-, I don't want to persuade anyone to do it for me.

    I took ur message to heart 2 months ago and have already made it possible for on site generations several times.

    Current status: I will continue to bid on models in the auction house. Animij v1, for example, was unfortunately not that popular the last three times I put it up on the auction house, judging by the generations. I only recently put all versions back on the site, unfortunately other models seem to suit general tastes more, but I can't change that ^^ Maybe my models are sometimes too special because my creative handwriting flows into them.

    As with this, unfortunately I can't meet every taste every week with the released models. I'm grateful that it's possible at all and I indicate on the page every week which ones are currently usable.

    moodluneJul 13, 2025· 1 reaction

    @reijlita I don't think that auctions mean much, for example, even if I want the v1 back, I don't use auctions, in fact I've never done it, because I'm afraid that it's unnecessarily wasted buzz or wasted so that the v1 disappears 1 month later. This uncertainty pushes me to never use auctions and I think that many other people are like that. Apart from the most popular models, auctions remain a risk, right?

    @moodlune Thank u for ur understanding, u have basically summarized exactly why I don't offer on all models myself. For example, if I bid on all models, just from Animij, it will cost me 50,000 buzz for a week minimum, if not more. But I won't earn this buzz back through image generations in one week ^^ Since I now generally offer most models for free, i.e. without early access, I don't even get the buzz for it.

    every week the 200 highest bids decide which 200 models can be used onsite for a week
