Certificate in AI Anime

The Certificate in AI Anime is a self-paced program for people who specifically want to make anime with AI tools, taught from the production experience behind Kai Laigo's anime projects, including the 50-minute feature Saki Sanobashi: Bathroom of Blood.

Most AI anime looks the same: the glossy default style every model produces when nobody tells it otherwise. This program is about the opposite. You will learn how to choose a look on purpose (the focus here is 1980s and 1990s cel anime), lock it so it survives hundreds of shots, design characters that stay recognizable, use limited animation the way real anime does, and get dialogue that works by recording and replacing voices instead of trusting whatever the model generates.

What you'll learn

• The tells of generic AI anime, and how to pick and define an era
• Why pacing and story matter more than any single shot
• Locked style blocks, cel-and-painted-background thinking, and finishing the look in post
• Character design, model sheets, references, and when frame chaining helps or hurts
• Limited animation, action, working with content filters, and spending money only where it shows
• Pre-rendered dialogue for lip sync, and doing your own ADR
