SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating a 2D animated short normally requires juggling separate tools for scripting, storyboarding, image generation, voiceover, and editing, while keeping a consistent art style across every shot. This Skill routes a topic or story through one complete production pipeline and locks the chosen animation tradition into every generated image. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fifteen animation style profiles: Choose from modern anime, 80s cel, Ghibli, Shinkai, Pixar, Disney 3D, xianxia, mecha, JoJo, American comics, pixel, doodle, fairytale picture-book, and Chinese ink-wash traditions, each with documented visual DNA for prompt writing. - Full production workflow: Runs project creation, script and storyboard generation, character/setting sheets, per-shot image generation with style-prefix injection, voiceover, compositing, and motion (dubbed lip-sync or native) via the kinema engine. - 2D animation motion grammar: Provides on-twos timing, pose-to-pose direction, speed lines, afterimages, and held-cel camera moves so 2D shots avoid 3D-style smooth interpolation. - Use Case: Ask for a Ghibli-style short about a girl cycling through the countryside, and the Skill binds the ghibli profile to the project, generates watercolor-style shots, adds voiceover, and assembles the finished film. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to make a 2D anime short film about your story or topic, optionally naming a style such as Ghibli, Shinkai, or 80s cel animation.

Frequently Asked Questions about kn-anime

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make a 2D anime short film from a story idea?▼

Invoke the skill with your topic or story, and it runs the full pipeline: project creation, script and storyboard, character sheets, per-shot image generation, voiceover, compositing, and motion. Naming a style like Ghibli or 80s cel locks that profile into every generated image.

What anime art styles are supported for video generation?▼

Fifteen profiles are available: modern anime, cel, 80s theatrical, Ghibli, Shinkai, Pixar, Disney 3D, xianxia, mecha, JoJo, American comics, pixel, doodle, fairytale picture-book, and Chinese ink-wash. If none is specified, the modern anime profile is used by default.

Can I make vertical anime videos for Douyin or Kuaishou?▼

Yes. The default output is 16:9 landscape, but you can pass --aspect 9:16 for vertical short-video platforms or --both to produce both aspect ratios in one run.

When should I use kn-anime3d instead of 2D anime generation?▼

Use kn-anime3d for realistic 3D or photorealistic CG such as Chinese annual-series animation or Love Death + Robots style realism. This skill covers 2D traditions plus stylized Pixar and Disney 3D, not photo-grade realism.

Why does my 2D anime shot look like smooth 3D animation?▼

The prompt likely requested smooth motion or motion blur, which pushes 2D toward 3D rendering. Write video prompts with hand-drawn on-twos timing, held key poses, and no smooth interpolation, and use speed lines or afterimages for action.

Is pixel game dialogue storytelling supported in this skill?▼

No. The anime_pixel profile here is pure pixel-art animation without any game UI. For JRPG-style dialogue-box storytelling in hd2d, gba, or snes styles, use the kn-game skill instead.
