<h2 id="neotokyo-90s-vintage-cel-shaded-anime-(illustrious-xl)">NeoTokyo — 90s Vintage Cel-Shaded Anime (Illustrious-XL)</h2>NeoTokyo is a custom merge combining <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2939219/boozillustrious-illustrious-xl?modelVersionId=3327488">BoozIllustrious V1 </a>with an in-house trained 90s cel-shading LoRA directly into the base checkpoint. Built on top of the Illustrious-XL (IL-XL) architecture, it is designed to capture the authentic, hand-painted aesthetic of late 1980s and 1990s Japanese animation (classic OVAs, retro cyberpunk, urban slice of life, and vintage fantasy).No trigger words needed : just prompt normally with standard Danbooru tags. The retro cel-shaded style applies automatically while keeping full character and outfit accuracy.<h3 id="key-strengths-and-features">Key Strengths &amp; Features</h3><ul><li>Native Illustrious-XL Compatibility: Full Danbooru tagging support, excellent character recognition, outfit flexibility, and LoRA interoperability.</li><li>100% Passive Cel-Shading: Direct prompt rendering with bold ink outlines, cel shading, and subtle analog film grain straight out of the box.</li><li>Pure 2D Finish: Eliminates modern plastic/3D gloss in favor of classic animation cel textures.</li><li>Rock-Solid Anatomy: Clean facial features and reliable hand/finger rendering on complex poses.</li></ul><h3 id="recommended-settings">Recommended Settings</h3><ul><li>Base Architecture: Illustrious-XL / SDXL</li><li>Sampling Method: DPM++ 2M</li><li>Schedule Type: Karras</li><li>Sampling Steps: 30</li><li>CFG Scale: 4.5</li><li>Initial Resolution: 896 × 1152</li><li>Clip Skip: 2</li></ul><h3 id="hires.-fix-(recommended-for-best-quality)">Hires. fix (Recommended for best quality)</h3><ul><li>Upscaler: R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B</li><li>Upscale by: 1.5 (Final: 1344 × 1728)</li><li>Hires Steps: 20</li><li>Denoising Strength: 0.35</li></ul><h3 id="negative-prompt:">Negative Prompt:</h3><pre><code>worst quality, low quality, 3d, render, deformed, blurry, bad anatomy, bad hands, extra fingers, missing fingers</code></pre><img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/37a12360-3e98-41e4-906a-8e1ff1bb84bc/original=true/37a12360-3e98-41e4-906a-8e1ff1bb84bc.jpeg" />
