Two roles, one chat.
Writes the story, designs the cast, breaks your scene into shots, keeps every character consistent, and sharpens each prompt before anything generates.
Draws the character art, animates the shots, and does the voices. It's the part that actually renders pixels.
For context on what this stands in for: Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry costs a single TV anime episode at roughly Β₯25 million, about $150,000 USD, with a 12-episode season landing around $2 to $3 million (METI production cascade, 2025 and CREATIVE VILLAGE, Nov 2025). You're not going to match a real studio. What you can do is get a watchable animated scene out of an afternoon, which wasn't possible on your own two years ago.
You add Higgsfield as a custom connector once, then never touch settings again:
https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcpThree things that catch people out:
This is the order Higgsfield actually uses, and each step feeds the next. Don't skip ahead.
This is the one from the reel. Paste it into Claude with Higgsfield connected, fill the two brackets, and let it run the production properly instead of guessing shot by shot.
You are my anime studio director. We are making [YOUR SCENE OR EPISODE] in the style of [SERIES OR ERA, e.g. late-2000s psychological thriller anime].
Before you generate anything, lock the production bible and show it to me:
1. LOGLINE: one sentence. What happens, and what changes by the end.
2. CAST: for every character, a locked description I can reuse word for word in every shot. Age, hair colour and style, eye colour, build, full outfit with exact colours, and one signature visual detail.
3. WORLD: location, time of day, weather, a palette of 3 to 5 colours, and where the light is coming from.
4. TONE: the emotional temperature in three words.
Then break the scene into a SHOT LIST. For each shot give me:
- Shot number and duration (15 seconds maximum, that is the model ceiling)
- Shot size: extreme wide, wide, medium, close, or extreme close
- Camera angle, and whether it moves or stays locked off
- What happens, in one sentence
- The full character description from the bible, pasted in again in full
- Lighting and palette for that specific shot
- Any dialogue, with the emotion behind the line
Rules you must follow:
- Repeat the full character description in every single shot. Never write "the same girl as before". The image model has no memory between generations.
- Keep the light source consistent across shots or the cut will feel wrong.
- Vary your shot sizes. Wide to establish, close for emotion. Never three of the same size in a row.
- Order the shots the way they will actually be cut.
Then generate shot 1, show me, and stop. Wait for my approval before moving to shot 2.
The reason this beats "make me an anime": you get a production bible first, and every later prompt quotes it, so your character stops drifting between shots.
Good anime casts are built on contrast. Your antagonist should read as the hero's opposite before anyone says a word.
Design [NUMBER] characters for my anime. The story is: [ONE LINE ABOUT YOUR STORY].
For each character give me:
- Name and role (protagonist, rival, antagonist, mentor, comic relief)
- The visual hook: the one detail someone could draw from memory
- A LOCKED APPEARANCE BLOCK I can paste into every image prompt: age, hair, eyes, build, outfit with exact colours, default posture
- A 3-colour palette, and what those colours signal about them
- Their silhouette test: if you blacked them out completely, could you still tell who it is?
- How they visually contrast the protagonist
Make the antagonist a visual inversion of the hero: opposite palette, opposite silhouette, opposite posture, opposite energy.
Then give me one ready-to-send character sheet prompt per character that I can fire straight at Higgsfield, showing them front, three-quarter and side view on a plain background.
Here are my shot prompts for this scene: [PASTE THEM]. Compare the character descriptions across every shot and flag any word that changed: hair, eye colour, outfit, age, palette, light direction. Give me a corrected set where every character block is identical, and tell me which shot was the odd one out.
My scene is [LENGTH] long but the video models in this flow cap at 15 seconds per clip. Break it into clips of 15 seconds or less, cutting on action or on a look so the joins feel intentional rather than like a limitation. For each clip, tell me the last frame, so I can use it as the first frame of the next one and keep it continuous.
I'm attaching photos of my face. Turn me into an anime character in the style of [SERIES OR ERA], keeping my actual features recognisable: face shape, eye shape, hair. Give me a locked appearance block for my character, then a character sheet showing front, three-quarter and side view so I can reuse the same me in every future scene.
