Hexer Minimal Toon's new Anima V1 is a DiT checkpoint, not an SDXL one: 4.1GB bf16, separate VAE/text-encoder ComfyUI folders, Anima-only LoRA, and a non-commercial license the Civitai page doesn't show. What changes vs Illustrious v3.1 before you load it.
I dropped the nervous sample identified as the culprit last time, plus 5 others, and retrained the LoRA under otherwise identical conditions. The sweat drops on ep08 angry are gone, and as a bonus, ep06 produced the closed-mouth restrained anger that the previous training never managed to reproduce.
Training an Illustrious-XL LoRA on RunPod for around $1 by doing env setup on a $0.08/hr CPU Pod and renting the 4090 only for actual training. Network Volumes attach to both pods at the same time, so there's no idle GPU billing. Four sd-scripts gotchas hit on the way included.
