Anime Episode Generator: mini episodes with a consistent cast

Anime episode generator

Write a premise, pick two or three characters from your cast, and get back a mini episode: a title card, two to four animated takes with spoken lines, and an eyecatch between them, cut together as one vertical file that belongs to a show you can keep adding to.

Takes are priced per second and shown before you render. Drafts cost 2 credits, stitching 2.

Sample episodes

Rendered from the preset cast with the prompts under each frame. Tap a frame to play.

Episode 1: The Rooftop Promise

Sky Over Kasumi Hill

A college rooftop at golden hour, chain-link fence, water tank, orange clouds. Riku Hanamori, 19, navy hair and a red headband, leans on the fence. Noa Shirakaze, 20, silver bob and frameless glasses, stops beside him without looking at him. Riku: "If we win the relay, you have to come to the festival." Noa, deadpan: "If you win." A breeze lifts the petals; she almost smiles.

Episode 2: Charms in the Rain

The Lantern Keeper

Stone shrine steps in soft rain, red gates, lanterns glowing. Mio Kasumigawa, 22, long black hair with a white ribbon, holds a bundle of paper charms; one charm glows pale blue. Kael Vandermeer, late 30s, eyepatch and a travel cloak, stands three steps below. Mio, soft-spoken: "It only lights for someone who is lying." Kael looks at the charm, then at her, and says nothing.

Episode 3: The Wrench Deal

Oborozuki Garage

A rain-slick neon back alley at night, pink and cyan signs, steam from a vent. Tatsuya Oborozuki, mid 20s, spiky ash-brown hair and a brass prosthetic arm, spins a wrench and catches it. Hazel Lindqvist, mid 20s, beige trench coat, holds up a battered notebook. Hazel: "Your arm was seen on the bridge last night." Tatsuya grins: "My arm gets around." Speed lines as he vaults the crates.

Episode 1: The Missing Page

Lindqvist Reads the Room

A grand old library reading room, green desk lamps, dust in the afternoon light. Hazel Lindqvist, mid 20s, trench coat, runs a finger down an open ledger. Dmitri Volkonsky, 50s, knitted scarf, descends the spiral staircase. Dmitri: "Page forty is missing." Hazel: "Page forty was never there." She holds the ledger to the lamp; a watermark shows through. Slow push-in.

What an episode is here

Most tools that promise anime video give you one clip and leave you to figure out the rest. This generator starts one level up. A show has a premise, a recurring cast and a home set. An episode inside that show has a number, a name and a handful of scene beats. Each beat becomes a take, and the takes are stitched behind a two-second title card that reads "Episode N" with the episode name. Optional eyecatch cards sit between takes, the way a short broadcast episode breaks for a breath.

The result is not a montage and not a narrated slideshow. It is a tiny episode with characters who speak their own lines, in a hand-drawn cel style with clean line art, flat shading and bright rim light. Every take is rendered in 9:16 so the episode plays full-screen on a phone.

How the generator works

Start by building a cast in the cast library. Characters are drawn by the studio from a description you write (a name, a look, a vibe) and saved as reference sheets. Sets, outfits and props work the same way, or you can upload a reference image for anything that is not a face. Then open a show, give it a one-line premise, and attach the cast members who recur.

From there, the draft button writes the next episode for you: a title, a short synopsis and two to four beats, each one a single continuous shot of six to fifteen seconds with one spoken line, using only the names in your cast. You can edit any beat before rendering it. Rendering a take sends the beat, the anime scaffold and the reference sheets of the characters in that beat to the video engine; the price is shown before you confirm.

When the takes are finished, press stitch. The studio normalises every take to the same frame, renders the title card and any eyecatch cards, joins everything, and files the episode under your show. From the show page you can make it public, which also lists it on the show's own page at its web address.

Why the cast stays consistent

Consistency is the whole trick. Each character is a reference sheet, and every take that includes that character is rendered with the sheet attached, so the same face, hair and colours come back in episode one and episode nine. Outfits and props are their own sheets too, so a character can change clothes without changing who they are. The anime look is baked into the sheets and the takes alike, which is why the cast and the backgrounds read as one production instead of a mix of styles.

What it costs

Credits pay for every step that touches a model. Drawing a character, set, outfit or prop costs 3 credits. Drafting an episode costs 2. A take is priced per second by quality and resolution, and the studio shows that number before you render. Stitching an episode costs 2 credits. Plans and packs are on the pricing page, and new accounts start with a couple of credits to see the cel look up close.

Questions

How long is a mini episode?

Between two and four takes of four to fifteen seconds each, plus a two-second title card and optional two-second eyecatch cards between takes. A typical episode runs from about twenty seconds to just over a minute.

Do I need to draw anything myself?

No. Characters are drawn by the studio from a description you write. You can upload reference images for sets, outfits and props if you already have them, but faces are always generated in the studio so they render reliably.

Can I write the beats myself instead of using the draft?

Yes. The draft is optional and costs 2 credits when you use it. You can add an episode with your own beats, or edit every line of a draft before any take is rendered.

Who owns the episodes I make here?

You do. Everything the studio renders at your direction is yours to keep and use; the details live in our Terms of Service. Copyright law differs from country to country and we are not able to give legal advice, so talk to a lawyer if you need a definitive answer for your situation.

What happens if a render fails?

If the job stops before any model work starts, for example during validation, the credits come straight back. Once a render has been accepted by the engine the credits are spent, including when the output is blocked by our content filters.
