Why this prompt works

Midjourney's niji model is tuned for anime and illustration. This prompt pairs --niji 6 with substyle and expression descriptors, which is how you get coherent, stylistically consistent anime art instead of a realistic model straining at a cartoon.

How to customize it

Use --niji 6 for anime rather than the default model.
Name a substyle (shonen, pastel, cyberpunk) for consistency.
Specify pose and expression for characters.

Tip: replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details before you send. The more specific you are — audience, tone, goal, constraints — the better the AI output.
