ANIMSTY, SHW_YN.
I took my 90's anime lora at 53K steps and trained on top of it 231 clips from Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name" an additional 11.5k steps. But all the dataset was only environmental shots. Landscapes, rooms, cityscapes, etc. basically anything not human focused. There are some crowd shots and some scenes do have people though. As a result the people are more in the 90s anime style design but the animation look and feel is more modern. The downside is that the model started to trend back towards a more "3D" look and motion on the people.
This was mostly a test to see if a detailed work like Shinkai's could act a detailer for environments without too much negative effect on other aspects. And I think for the most part it worked, even the people's faces have more details. I think this dataset will work well mixed into a larger pool for a modern anime lora. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
