There are many "80s anime" and "vaporwave" style loRAs, but I wanted one that specifically does this. It's trained on 30 screenshots (which is every major cut) of Kouji Morimoto's opening sequence for the 1986 movie Dirty Pair: Project Eden and in case you're not familiar with Safari Eyes, allow me to show you the coolest thing you're going to see today. I hope it can replicate even a tiny bit of that style.
It works best with more abstract imagery, such as:
smoke/clouds/fluids
silhouettes
specific bold colors
patterns
close-ups / detail shots
or just letting it do its own thing (but see below)
Known issues:
it likes to add black borders, which is a dataset defect (easy enough to crop out if you care)
you need to prompt at least something it can grab on to, just the trigger is not enough to make a big difference - when in doubt use either "1980s (style)" or "flat color" or both.
Description
As usual with Krea, tag prompting will pull it towards anime.

Didn't know it, that was cool, like a 10x more interesting riff that the old Bond intro
Wow. The hype is real. Experience had taught me to be skeptical, but you were right (in the model notes); that intro is definitely the coolest thing I've seen today. Cannot believe I'd never seen it before.
Wikipedia tells me Morimoto had previous work on Bond intros, there's no question (imo...) he wiped the floor with them here. The craft at its absolute peak.
Project Eden is pretty much the final word on stereotypical 80s anime extravagance for its own sake (read: Unlike, say, Akira, it's all nonsense, but very cool nonsense). Overall it looks a bit more "normal" than the opening sequence, but it certainly knows how to style on everyone.
Also: Guess who also knows how cool Safari Eyes is? Masanobu Hiraoka is the guy to call if you want something like this made today, and Justice sure did.
