Anime is a style switch inside Candy AI, not a separate product

Two places ask you for a style

• Image generator Realistic or anime, chosen per request
• Character creator Style first, then the physical details

The image generator offers realistic and anime options on any request. The character creator asks the same question earlier, before the physical details, which is the more useful order: once the look is saved on a companion it is reused in every later render instead of being re-argued each time.

That is the whole difference. Chat, stored context and voice styles are identical to a realistic girlfriend or an AI boyfriend.

Sixteen renders from one prompt

A single request returns one to 16 images, and between runs you adjust outfit, action, pose, accessories and scene. Illustrated styles reward that loop: silhouette and costume read more clearly than skin tone, so changing the outfit changes the image more than it would on a photographic render. Start from a saved profile on the character listing rather than a blank prompt if you want a set that holds together.

From a still to a twenty-second clip

The video creator is in beta. You pick a duration of 5, 10, 15 or 20 seconds, and it can start from a text prompt or from an image you already generated. The second route is the one worth using for anime work, because it inherits a frame you have already approved rather than reinterpreting the description. The media studio section shows the same hand-off on a realistic companion.

Tokens, terms and the limits that do not move

Style is not a billing category. Paid access includes unlimited text and 100 tokens a month, and image, video and custom-character costs vary by feature and request, with the amount shown in the flow before you confirm. Terms run from $5.60 weekly to $3.99 a month on the 12-month plan, compared on the pricing page.
