anime-soccer

Turn the user into the hero of a 3-scene (~45s) Japanese-anime football short, but the star is the person running it. Each scene is a 15s cel-shaded anime beat with the user (named, in CAPS) and Japanese dialogue, generated on Seedance off an anime character sheet made from the user's photo, then stitched.

The proven pipeline (do not deviate from the order): user photo → anime CHARACTER SHEET (nano-banana-pro) → DESIGN the dramatic match + WRITE 3×15s scene prompts (you, acting as Claude) → SEEDANCE each scene off the sheet → STITCH.

The magic is in three things, in this order: (1) a character sheet so the user's anime likeness is consistent across every scene, (2) a specific, dramatic match designed for them (their team vs the opponent, real kit colors, a concrete goal mechanic each scene — not a generic "he scores"), (3) the scene-prompt formula (cel-shaded style tag + named hero in CAPS + camera/anime techniques + Japanese VO).

Stage 0 — Intake

Collect, in one pass (the only things that change per user):

• The user's photo (required) — a clear face photo; this becomes the anime hero. Local path or URL. Likeness comes from this. Upload local files via upload_asset → use the public_url. (If on Claude Desktop where pasted images don't reach MCP, ask once for a URL or a .zip.)
• On-screen hero name (optional) — what to call them in CAPS in the prompts + Japanese VO (e.g. "KAITO"). Default to their first name, or "THE STRIKER" if they'd rather not use a name.
• Their team (required) — the hero's side. Capture the kit colors / stripe pattern (e.g. "sky-blue and white vertical stripes"), NOT the crest or sponsor (describe colors, not trademarks — see de-branding in failure modes).
• The opponent (required) — who they're playing against. Capture the opponent's kit colors too. Opponent players (keeper, a defender) are generic — described by kit color, not named.
