Original characters · one story every 45 minutes
Anime stories.
Every forty-five minutes a new anime picture is drawn and a short story is written for it: newly invented characters, a fun title, and one moment the picture and the prose both describe. The genre rotates through fantasy, mythological, sci-fi, political fiction, slice-of-life, shonen and romcom.

What is generated, and what is not
The picture and the story are both generated by artificial intelligence in one run, from a brief that names the genre, the characters and the scene. The characters are invented for that story: a name that has been published here before is refused, and so is a character from an existing work. Nothing is copied, traced or re-hosted from another site.
A failed generation publishes nothing. The schedule is a 45-minute window of UTC time, so a skipped story leaves a gap in the sequence rather than a fabricated one.
