Niji 7 is a useful starting point for anime art direction: character concepts, outfits and backgrounds that meet Midjourney’s content rules. Developed with Spellbrush, it has its own prompting behavior and feature support. Its A-tier recommendation applies to visual exploration before an artist finishes the production assets. Before using a concept for sprites, compare facial structure, costume details and linework across the intended cast, poses and expressions. Keep the finished assets in editable source files. Midjourney prohibits nudity and sexualized imagery, so explicit scenes are outside this workflow. Check Niji 7’s reference features separately from the main Midjourney models.

## Commercial use & license

Proprietary service terms and plan conditions apply. Do not assume a right to download model weights or train a LoRA.

## Adult content rules

Midjourney prohibits adult content, including nudity and sexualized imagery. Use it for permitted concepts, backgrounds and promotional art.

[Read the policy](https://docs.midjourney.com/hc/en-us/articles/32013696484109-Community-Guidelines)

## What you need

A service account, rights to use submitted references, and an export workflow that includes asset review.

Ranks are recommendations for the task described, based on reviewed documentation. Model ranks cover non-explicit development work. We have not run practical benchmarks.
