The end result[1] looks quite impressive! The animation feels like it's quite high quality--very smooth. However, some things seem off: bad lip sync, minor animation errors, discontinuous scene-to-scene feel. Given that these are supposed to be their best examples, meant as advertisements, I would guess these errors are hard to fix using only the models.

So my verdict is that AI-only anime is still not there yet (although it would be cool to have a world where one dedicated and talented artist could make a high quality anime). But at the same time, anime studios will probably start incorporating AI into their workflow, getting high-quality-looking scenes for very cheap.

As the quality of each scene might someday surpass the budget of entire shows, anime can be infinitely more animated and creating something new in the process. What would a “multi-billion-dollar” episode look like? Hope we find out soon. Exciting times.

The problem with ai is that it's extremely good at front loading everything. Sure it can make a scene, but can it make 20 scenes that are coherent? Can it follow human prompt for story? Or do you prompt and hope the result is like you wanted? Which leads to inevitably settling for something you did not.

That’s true today: none of those requirements can be fulfilled.

Art direction and coherence might not be that far away as those are highly desired features, but it certainly looks like that now.
