AI Anime GeneratorGenerate anime art. Then make it move.アニメを生成する。

1 token to start and 1 every 2 days, then one-time packs that never expire. See pricing.
Everything an anime creator needs.
Anime-Native, Not Generic
Generic image generators treat anime as a filter. Gootaku is built around anime styles, panels, and characters from the ground up.
More Than Single Images
One prompt is a start, not the end. Turn generations into manga pages, comic strips, looping GIFs, and video scenes.
Consistent Characters
Design an OC once, lock the look, and reuse the same character across manga, comic, and GIF — no design drift.
Every Anime Style
Shōnen, shōjo, chibi, pixel, sticker, cinematic — pick the style that fits the moment you're generating.
No Subscription, Ever
1 token on signup, +1 every 2 days — no card required. Need more? One-time token packs, never a recurring charge.
A Community to Publish To
Share what you generate on Explore, get reactions from other anime creators, and see what's trending.
From prompt to anime in 3 steps.
No drawing tablet. No art school. Just a prompt and a format.
Describe the Scene
Write what you want to see — a character, a moment, a mood — like you're briefing an anime artist.
Pick a Format & Style
Single art, manga panel, comic strip, GIF loop, or video scene — then choose the anime style to match.
Generate & Build On It
AI renders the art. Keep it as-is, or keep going — add panels, dialogue, motion, and publish the result.
What creators generate.
Manga & Comics
Full pages and strips with panels, dialogue, and a consistent cast.
GIFs & Stickers
Looping reaction GIFs, emotes, and chibi stickers, one prompt per frame.
Anime Video Scenes
Short AI-animated scenes for socials, intros, and story moments.
Original Characters
OC portraits and reference art you can reuse across everything.
4 prompts that work
Anime-style prompts reward specifics: the shot type, the light source, and one strong emotion. Generic words ('cool', 'epic') produce generic art.
Cost: 1 token per panel
- PROMPT 01
Close-up of a boy with silver spiky hair looking up at falling snow, breath visible, streetlight halo behind him, soft focus.
→ A single anime-style still with cinematic bokeh — a cover image or a thumbnail.
- PROMPT 02
Wide shot of a floating island city at golden hour, airships docking, a small figure on a cliff edge looking out.
→ A detailed anime establishing shot with strong depth — good for a title page.
- PROMPT 03
A cyberpunk street vendor under neon signs handing a steaming bowl to a girl with a glowing visor, rain, magenta and cyan light.
→ A high-saturation cyberpunk scene with two characters and readable interaction.
- PROMPT 04
Portrait of a witch in a wide-brimmed hat, cat on her shoulder, candlelight from below, dark background, slight smile.
→ A moody portrait with low-key lighting — the kind of image that works as an avatar.

FAQ.
How is Gootaku different from a generic AI image generator?+
Generic generators give you one image and stop there. Gootaku is an anime-native studio: your generations become manga pages, comic strips, looping GIFs, and video scenes, with characters that stay consistent across manga, comics, and GIFs.
What can I make with the AI anime generator?+
Manga pages (Manga Maker), comic strips (Comic Maker), looping GIFs and stickers (GIF Maker), short AI video scenes (Video Maker), jiggle-physics animations (Wobble Maker, non-AI, first export free), and reusable original characters (Character Maker).
Which anime styles can I pick from?+
Classic B&W, shōnen, shōjo, seinen, and chibi for manga; anime, chibi, webtoon, noir, and retro for comics; chibi, anime, pixel, sticker, and loop for GIFs; nine more for video. Styles can be switched between generations without losing your character.
Can I use a reference image so my character looks the same every time?+
Yes. Upload a reference image or lock a design in Character Maker, and every manga panel, comic panel, and GIF that features that character is generated around the same face and outfit.
Is the AI anime generator free to use?+
Yes — every account gets 1 token on signup, +1 every 2 days with no card required, and 1 token is 1 image. Heavier users can buy a one-time Starter Pack ($7.49, 100 tokens) or Creator Pack ($29.99, 500 tokens); there is no subscription and paid tokens never expire.
Your first generation is free.
