AniFusion XL — an add-difference merge of Illustrious-XL-v1.0 and Animagine-XL-4.0 on the SDXL base.

Built as: Illustrious-XL-v1.0 + 0.35 x (Animagine-XL-4.0 - SDXL-base-1.0), applied to the UNet only (VAE and text encoder kept from Illustrious). This nudges the Illustrious anime structure toward Animagine's cleaner color and lineart rendering while keeping Illustrious' anatomy and prompt adherence.

[Recommended] Sampler DDIM/DPM++ 2M, 24-30 steps, CFG 6-7, 832x1216. Works best with danbooru-style tags.
