NijiJourney (written niji・journey) is a cutting-edge AI that makes anime-style illustrations from your prompts. It’s a collab between Spellbrush and Midjourney, tuned especially for 2D anime aesthetics.
You use it mainly via Discord, typing “/imagine” to generate images just like with Midjourney niji handles a wide range of styles: chibi, action scenes, expressive portraits, scenic anime landscapes, and more.
How NijiJourney Works & Key Features
When you generate with NijiJourney, you start by joining the official Discord server.
You type a prompt using “/imagine …” then wait while four variations are generated.
After that, you can choose to upscale (using U1–U4) or make variants (V1–V4) for each of the four images.
The bot is pretty smart. It knows anime-style composition, character design, action poses, and even dramatic scenes.
