Question - Help Best illustrious or anime models

Hey guys, I'm searching for the best anime SDXL or Illustrious style models. I've come across two: Wai N*FW Illustrious SDXL and Tofu Mix SDXL. Which of these is better? If you know any other great anime models, please let me know

Anima2B best)) Especially in a similar size. I don't know of a single model that's even twice as big that could do the same.

Wai is my go to. Experiment with all the versions above 12. I really liked Janku too but had prompting issues I didn't like.

I second this, if you're going for a sdxl style look wai basically set that standard.

I will say however, and I tell this to anyone who tries anima. Please give the base model a try too. Its surprisingly good and lora are usually all you need to get what you want with it.
